Flying from the warm climes of Cuba, where he met the Pope, Patriarch Kirill held prayers at a research station before taking a walk with the animals. He tended to the chicks, some of which chased him with flippers outstretched. A picture of the 69-year-old kneeling eye-to-eye with one went viral. Russia has 10 research stations in the Antarctic, able to accommodate up to 120 people. Patriarch Kirill visited one, the Bellingshausen research station on the island of Waterloo. The Russian Orthodox church near the Bellingshausen station, which opened in 2004, is the only church on the continent to hold services all year round, with priests spending the winter there. Church officials said the Patriarch prayed for polar researchers, including 64 Russians who have died on polar expeditions. His visit was the first ever by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church to Antarctica. It followed the first encounter between a head of Russian Orthodox Church and a pope in nearly 1,000 years. Since becoming Pope in 2013, Pope Francis has called for better relations between the different branches of Christianity.

Not satisfied with one groundbreaking encounter this week, the head of Russia's Orthodox Church has followed his talks with Pope Francis by meeting a rookery of penguins in Antarctica.

And Tango Makes Three came third in a list of titles the American Library Association said had received the most complaints from parents and educators. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian came top of the list. Sherman Alexie's tale of a young Native American at a predominantly white high school was first published in 2007. Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, a graphic novel about a young Iranian girl growing up in the years after the country's Islamic Revolution, is ranked second. The list of titles, all of which have been the subject of a formal written complaint, filed with a library or school, requesting they be removed, is compiled annually by the ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom. The alleged "cultural insensitivity" of Alexie's novel is one of the reasons cited in complaints calling for its removal. And Tango Makes Three - based on a real-life story of two male penguins who hatched an egg at the New York Zoo - is accused of promoting a homosexual agenda. Other titles on the list include Toni Morrison's debut novel The Bluest Eye, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and A Stolen Life, a kidnapping memoir by Jaycee Dugard. The ALA counted 311 challenges in 2014, roughly the same as were lodged in 2013. Baroness Morgan also told Sunday Politics Wales arguments around Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet reshuffle were hampering attempts to win support in May's Welsh Assembly elections. She is the party's number two regional list candidate in mid and west Wales. Baroness Morgan called for focus. "The key thing now is for us to understand that Labour is in power in Wales, we are able to affect change here and we've got to focus on that," she said. "And anything that's a distraction in Wales from that, I think we should try to put to one side." To her colleagues in Westminster, she said: "My message would be everybody calm down a bit and let's focus our opposition on the Tories, not internally." Dee Stitt of Charter NI, who is also a leading UDA member, claimed the government does not care about Northern Ireland. The SDLP criticised the remarks made in an article in the Guardian newspaper. The DUP said while it will work with people willing to move on, words and actions need to go hand in hand Mr Stitt also described loyalist band the North Down Defenders as "our homeland security" and added that "we are here to defend north Down from anybody". SDLP MLA Nichola Mallon said she was "shocked by the tone" of Mr Stitt's comments which she found "disturbing". She questioned whether the comments were "appropriate " from the chief executive of a body which receives public funding. The executive has awarded a £1.7m grant to Charter NI which is a community-based organisation in East Belfast. The money came from the executive's social investment fund. Mr Stitt had previously released a statement to the BBC's Nolan Show where he challenged allegations that he was a UDA commander. He told the BBC "to the best of my knowledge, none of these allegations have been supported by evidence being presented to the PSNI". More than half of complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) about banks and financial services were about mis-sold payment protection insurance. A separate study revealed how firms react to complaints on social media. That suggested that the banking sector provided the best responses. A mystery shopping exercise by market researchers BDRC Continental rated companies for their response rate, as well as the speed and quality of replies. PPI has dominated the landscape of complaints to financial services companies for many years now. The loan insurance was designed to cover repayments if policyholders fell ill or were made redundant, but it was mis-sold on an industrial scale to those who did not want or need it. The FOS received 164,347 new cases about financial products in general in the second half of 2015, a 6% fall on the previous six months, but PPI still accounted for 56% of new complaints. "The financial services sector has been through a challenging and volatile period in the eight years since the ombudsman first began to publish data about individual financial businesses," said Caroline Wayman, the chief financial ombudsman. "Complaints about PPI still continue to make up over half of our workload. During 2015, PPI complaints finally began to approach stable levels - but we are still seeing the volume of cases at a much higher level than many people expected." A group representing claims management companies said many people had to go through the process of complaining to the ombudsman, which deals with disputes that cannot be agreed between consumers and financial services businesses. "This report shows that thousands of people are suffering a double-whammy at the hands of the big banks," said Nick Baxter, chairman of the Professional Financial Claims Association. "First, they were mis-sold financial products and then when they submitted totally legitimate claims for compensation, they have been fobbed off and left to navigate a complex system of appeal for anything up to two years." There was some more positive results for banks and credit card firms, which came out on top of a survey into the way enquiries were dealt with on social media. BDRC Continental oversaw a mystery shopping exercise when 9,000 tweets were sent out to 395 businesses in 32 sectors, and the responses were analysed for response times, whether the question was answered and whether additional information was offered. Why it pays to complain via Twitter What it is like to answer angry tweets about trains Only eight of the businesses failed to respond to any of the tweeted enquiries, but only 41 replied to them all. There was a wide range of response times - with some replying within a minute but with the slowest taking more than two days. The most effective responses overall, the researchers suggested, came from the banking and credit card sectors, as well as rail companies, DIY stores, and airlines. "Twitter is nearly 10 years old so companies have had plenty of time to learn how to use it effectively to handle customer queries and complaints," said Tim Barber, director at BDRC Continental. "We believe that a decade on, responding promptly should be basic housekeeping for the UK's biggest brands. But to meet customers' increasingly high expectations of the service they receive, it's no longer enough just to respond - and to respond quickly - to every tweet: the response must be useful, provide the information needed, and address the question or complaint in an appropriate manner. "It is particularly important as it's all done in public - questions and responses can be seen by anyone." United Technologies rejected the offer, which would have created one of the aerospace industry's largest companies. In statement on Friday, chief executive officer Gregory Hayes said, "It would be irresponsible to move forward with the proposed combination." Honeywell offered each United Technologies shareholder $108 in cash and stock for the company. United Technologies said getting regulatory approval for the tie-up would be nearly impossible and the time spent applying for it would lower shareholder value. Honeywell disagrees with this view. In a statement released on Wednesday, the company said, "We do not see the regulatory process as a material obstacle to a transaction." The two companies have discussed merging before but concerns that the deal would be rejected by regulators have prevented them from moving forward. An offer from General Electric to buy United Technologies in 2000 was rejected by regulators. If United Technologies and Honeywell combined, the new company would be responsible for most of the equipment on commercial airlines. Columba McVeigh, 19, from Donaghmore, County Tyrone, was abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA in 1975. In April, a search for his body resumed in Bragan, County Monaghan. His brother, Oliver, said: "We need specific information and the proper information is not coming forward and there's somebody out there has it." He added: "If I was involved in the abduction, murder and disappearance of a teenager it would be embedded in my mind where he was buried. And I would have nightmares about it." The first search for Columba McVeigh began 14 years ago. There have been a number of searches at Bragan near Emyvale in County Monaghan. The previous operation by the Independent Commission For The Location Of Victims Remains was halted last autumn due to extreme weather conditions. Oliver said: "If I thought there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow I could wait for a long, long time but sometimes I have my doubts. "The people who are giving information need to get more proactive. It's just going on and on and on and on. "It wears people down. I get quite depressed when I come up here." John Hill from the Independent Commission For The Location Of Victims Remains said he was "firmly of the belief" that the teenager is buried at the current search site. "I believe that the people who have provided the information that bring us here are doing so truthfully. Are they accurate enough? That's a different matter. But I don't think it's out of design, I think they are trying." Columba's mother, Vera McVeigh, campaigned tirelessly for the return of his body. She died in 2007, aged 82. The Disappeared are those who were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republicans during the Troubles. In 1999, the British and Irish governments established the commission in an effort to gain confidential information about the location of their bodies. Analysts estimate 65 million people regularly access the BBC catch-up TV service using virtual private networks (VPNs) or proxy servers. In China alone that figure is thought to be around 38.5 million. The iPlayer is meant for UK TV viewers only and is funded by the licence fee. A global iPlayer was closed last month. The report from GlobalWebIndex said that despite VPNs being thought of as "fairly niche tools which are the preserve of the tech-savviest individuals", around 25% of internet users worldwide now use them, primarily to access better entertainment content. The research company surveyed more than 45,000 internet users across 34 countries, including China, the US, France, Germany, Ireland, India and Brazil. It found that while the iPlayer is "geo-restricted to be viewable only by people resident in the country", the BBC service does in fact have "a huge global audience". "The implications for iPlayer are stark," said Jason Mander, head of trends at GlobalWebIndex, writing in the report. "However, rather than seeing this as a threat, there's much good news here for the BBC." The report highlighted that 75% of the 65 million already pay for subscription services like Netflix or Hulu, so there was "clear potential" for the BBC to create "new revenue streams". "If even a relatively small proportion users could be converted into paid users, the additional revenue it could create for the BBC would be significant." A BBC spokesman said: "BBC iPlayer, and the content on it, is paid for by UK licence fee payers to watch and download in the UK and the terms of use reflect that. "We do not comment on individual cases regarding breaches of BBC iPlayer's terms of use, but we take steps where appropriate to protect the intellectual property belonging to rights holders." A global iPlayer subscription service, which allowed viewers in Europe, Australia and Canada to watch programmes like Doctor Who, was shut down last month. GlobalWebIndex also found the domestic iPlayer to be the most popular on-demand service in the UK by far - with 45% of internet users aged 16-64 accessing it in the past month, and just 4% being unaware of the service. Netflix is the second most popular service, attracting 24% of web users. The BBC's most recent iPlayer figures revealed there were 222 million requests for TV programmes in May, with Peter Kay's Car Share the most popular show. The GlobalWebIndex figures would suggest that 29% of these requests may have come from TV viewers outside of the UK. The engineered Mediterranean fruit flies possess a gene that prevents female flies from reaching adulthood. When released into the environment, they mate with wild members of the same species and pass on the gene to their offspring, which die before they can cause damage to crops. The flies have been produced by the British-based company Oxitec. This invasive species causes millions of dollars in damage to Australian crops each year. The Department of Agriculture and Food in Western Australia (DAFWA) has now announced it will conduct an indoor assessment of the engineered fruit flies. Eggs were imported from the UK and reared at DAFWA research facilities. Their potential for pest control will now be assessed in glasshouse trials. In Western Australia, the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), also known as the Medfly, is a major problem for commercial orchards and householders. It feeds on more than 250 types of fruit, including citrus, apricots, nectarines, peaches, mangoes, apples and pears. The female medfly "stings" fruits as she lays her eggs, making them vulnerable to infection and rot. A decision last year by Australian regulators to phase out the organophosphate insecticide fenthion has prompted a search for alternative methods of controlling the fruit pest. Oxitec male flies are released to mate with wild female flies. When they do, they pass on a "self-limiting" gene which prevents female offspring from reaching adulthood. This prevents the females from stinging fruit crops, or reproducing, thus shrinking populations of the fly in the release area. "We need to evaluate new tools that could become a helpful part of integrated pest management practices," said Dr Neil Morrison, research lead for agricultural pest control at Oxitec. The principles used to create the GM medfly have already been trialled against dengue fever-carrying mosquitoes in the Cayman Islands, Panama and Brazil. A genetically modified diamondback moth - another crop pest - is currently undergoing trials in the US. Releases of Oxitec insects have been criticised by groups opposed to genetic modification. Nevertheless, the Oxford-based company was bought up by US biotechnology firm Intrexon in a $160m deal. The use of genetically engineered animals could revolutionise areas of public health and agriculture, according to advocates. But is the world ready for modified mosquitoes and GM salmon? Follow Paul on Twitter Jon Casey, 35, from Ecton Brook in the town, was found stabbed in Barrack Road, near to the Lazeez Indian restaurant at 17:30 GMT on Friday. Mr Casey was taken to Northampton General Hospital where he died just before 18:25. Det Insp Mark Brayfield said it was a "brutal and ultimately fatal attack". Mr Casey's family have been informed. A post-mortem investigation was being carried out by a Home Office pathologist in Leicester to determine the cause of death. Mr Brayfield, from Northamptonshire Police, said detectives were following a number of lines of inquiry. He said: "We would urge anyone in the area at the time and who may have seen anything suspicious to come forward. "We are very keen to know of Mr Casey's movements in the hours leading up to his death." Albertas Daskevicius, from Ballykelly, County Londonderry, was charged over the death of Sean McElwee on Saturday. Mr McElwee, groundsman of Cookstown Father Rocks GAA club, was one of three people killed in separate collisions in County Tyrone over the weekend. The other victims were Jane Burnside from Cookstown and an unnamed woman in her 50s killed in a crash in the town. Ms Burnside, 23, died after being hit by a car on Gortnagammon Road, Tullyhogue, outside Cookstown, on Saturday morning. The other woman, whose name has not been released, died in a single-vehicle collision on Moneymore Road, Cookstown, early on Sunday morning. Mr McElwee, who was in his 40s, was driving a van at Melmount Road, between Strabane and Sion Mills, when he was involved in the fatal crash. The lorry driver accused of causing the collision also faces a number of other charges, including driving without insurance and without a tachograph. Enniskillen Magistrates' Court was told that 49-year-old Mr Daskevicius, from Bawncourt in Ballykelly, admitted to police that the collision was his fault. A police officer said he had pulled out to pass a lorry that was slowing down to turn left when he crossed the white line into the path of an oncoming vehicle. The court heard that he had not consumed alcohol, and there was no evidence the accused was speeding or using a mobile telephone at the time. Mr Daskevicius is currently unemployed but had agreed to buy the lorry and had made a payment of £2,000 in an effort to secure work. He was released on bail on condition that he does not drive and surrenders his passport and identity documents. The lorry driver is due to appear at Strabane Magistrates' Court on 14 May. With no bottom-six team safe from relegation, County will play 18 at home and 20 away, with three road trips over the final five fixtures. Partick Thistle, in the top six for the first time, benefit from 20 home games across the campaign. Since 2000-01, the 12 top-flight clubs split in two for the closing five rounds of matches. Celtic, yet to lose a domestic game this season, secured their sixth consecutive title on 2 April, with eight games to spare. The champions are now set to receive the trophy on the final day of the season at home to Hearts on Sunday, 21 May. It will be the third successive away trip for Hearts, who must also make a third visit of the season to St Johnstone, their rivals for fourth place. Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Motherwell, currently the bottom two, meet in the Highlands on the final weekend. Dundee, who have lost six in a row, face a third away trip to Motherwell, the last team they managed to beat. However, both Dundee and Hearts will each play 19 home and away games across the season, with the Edinburgh club having requested that they begin their post-split games at home since work is under way on a new main stand at Tynecastle. Hearts head coach Ian Cathro said: "Obviously we are in a bit of a different situation and have asked for the support to be allowed to play the last three games away, which is an important thing in the timeline for the work that's going on in the stand. "We are comfortable with how that's been put together." Europa League qualifying spots have still to be decided. Aberdeen, nine points clear of Rangers in the runner-up race, go to Ibrox on Wednesday, 17 May. Nine points cover the bottom six clubs. The side finishing last will go down to the Championship, while the 11th-placed team will face one of the top sides from the second tier in the Premiership play-off final. This weekend, Kilmarnock host Hearts on Friday, there are four Premiership games on Saturday and Celtic visit Ross County on Sunday. After the split, Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers, St Johnstone, Hearts and Partick Thistle play each other once. Kilmarnock, Ross County, Dundee, Hamilton Academical, Motherwell and Inverness Caledonian Thistle make up the bottom half. The SPFL previously announced that the final meeting of Rangers and Celtic this season will take place at Ibrox on Saturday, 29 April. It is Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers' first experience of the league split and he admitted: "It's taken me about seven months to get my head round. "For the team's from seventh downwards, it can be a nervy period. It is what it is. "It's tough games towards be end of the season, but we'll just get ready for them."

The 27-year-old, the brother of West Ham defender Jose Fonte, scored 16 goals in 43 league games for Braga. He joined Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon in 2006, making his only appearance in a League Cup win over Wigan in 2008. The former Portugal Under-21 international rejoined Sporting in 2009, and has since had spells with Espanyol, Benfica and Belenenses. "We have great aspirations for the future of this club, and today we have taken another step towards realising them by adding a striker known for his immense skill and selfless teamwork," Fulham vice chairman and director of football operations Tony Khan told the club website.

A year later, Rajabhakti Park has become a millstone around the neck of the military government, and a symbol of how their efforts to promote the monarchy - at an awkward moment as Thailand faces its first royal succession in nearly 70 years - can go wrong. The project has been tarnished by allegations of corruption - a scourge General Prayuth promised to tackle when he seized power last year. Other government-backed ventures intended to showcase support for the monarchy have been similarly tainted. Not just by allegations of mismanaged funds, but also by the mysterious deaths in custody, or disappearances, of people who had been close to Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn. The monarchy is an acutely sensitive topic in Thailand, made all the more delicate by the severity of the lese majeste law which inhibits any public debate about the institution. The officially-sanctioned view of the monarchy is that it is loved and respected by all Thais, who support the law. In fact, there are Thais who take a different view, but who do not dare to express it publicly. From the moment it seized power last year, the military made protecting the monarchy from any kind of critical scrutiny a top priority. It ordered the police to be more rigorous in prosecuting anyone caught saying anything negative about the royal family. It insisted defendants be tried in military courts, and sometimes in secret. Around 100 people have been charged with lese majeste since the coup, and sentences have become harsher, with one young mother-of-two being given a 28-year sentence in August. At the same time, the military set about trying to burnish the public image of Prince Vajiralongkorn, in preparation for him to succeed the ailing King Bhumibol. The lese majeste law makes it impossible for anyone in Thailand to speak frankly about members of the royal family. The commonly-used way to describe the comparison between the heir and the King is that "he does not enjoy the same popularity as his father." In August, the government organised a mass bicycle ride in Bangkok, led by the Crown Prince and his eldest daughter, in honour of Queen Sirikit, who is also in poor health. It was the first time Thais had seen the 63-year-old prince in a relatively informal setting, smiling and looking trim in his cycling clothes. The event was deemed a success, and the government held another one on Friday to commemorate the King's birthday. Then in October three men were suddenly arrested and charged with lese majeste. One, a famous fortune-teller and television personality known as Mor Yong, had played a prominent role in organising the first Bike for Mom event. He and his two co-defendants, one of them an influential police officer responsible for countering anti-monarchy sentiment on the internet, were accused of abusing the Crown Prince's name to raise funds illicitly with products like t-shirts and badges linked to the bike rides. Mor Yong had posted photos of himself with prominent public figures on his Facebook page, as part of his promotional activities. Four days later, the government announced that the police major had hanged himself with his shirt in his cell. Two weeks after that, they announced that Mor Yong too had died in custody, from blood poisoning. There was no proper autopsy and both men's bodies were hurriedly cremated. At the same time the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince disappeared. He has since been stripped of all his titles and accused of "gravely evil acts" against the monarchy. It is widely believed that he is dead. Two other senior military officers have also disappeared, and have since been charged with lese majeste. They have also been linked to alleged abuses in the funding of Rajabhakti Park, which was formally opened by the Crown Prince and his daughter in September. The government and the army have tried, and failed, to stem the tide of allegations surrounding the park. General Udomdej Sitabutr, who was army commander until October this year and oversaw the project, admitted that irregular commissions were demanded by middlemen for the foundries building the huge statues, which cost around $1 million each. But he said he had insisted the commissions were refunded, although he explained the foundries then donated those commissions to an army charity. There have been allegations of inflated prices paid for trees planted in the park too. And an initial denial that any government funds were used to build the park turned out to be untrue - around $2 million came from state coffers. The army announced its own investigation, and quickly concluded there was no corruption. There was a public outcry, so the Ministry of Defence has ordered another investigation. The police say they cannot investigate unless the military authorises them to do so. A government spokesman told the BBC that independent agencies would soon be allowed to scrutinise the accounts of the project, but could not say when. The government's opponents have jumped on the opportunity to illustrate what they say is hypocrisy on the part of the military in prosecuting former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra for alleged corruption under her administration, yet failing to clean up its own house. Student activists and leaders of the pro-Yingluck "red shirt" movement have tried to organise visits to the park, but have been stopped and detained by the army. The government has also charged some of those spreading negative information about the park with sedition, a serious offence which carries a penalty of up to seven years in prison. Few people outside the top ranks of the military can know what lies behind these disturbing developments. But they show that the men who seized power last year, despite their considerable power, have nevertheless been unable to prevent damaging allegations of wrongdoing being made about their own royal promotion projects. Nor have they been able yet to provide a convincing response to those allegations. Many people in Thailand believe the revelations indicate divisions at the top over how to handle the royal succession, and crucially, who has control over this historic transition. 15 April 2016 Last updated at 16:17 BST For the first time victims and perpetrators came face-to-face, testifying in attempt to heal wounds and to move forward. Those who accepted responsibility for what happened, were sometimes granted amnesty. During apartheid the conflict resulted in violence and human rights abuses from all sides. Among the victims who testified was Mavis Phungula. She was injured in a bombing that occurred at a supermarket in Germiston, east of Johannesburg, killing 10 people instantly. She revisited the site of the bombing with the BBC's Karen Allen and considered whether the TRC has helped to build a better South Africa. The M11 has been shut in both directions between Harlow and Bishop's Stortford near Stansted Airport. The chemicals have been identified as melamine formaldehyde resin and phosphoric acid, Essex Fire and Rescue Service said. Firefighters have been advised they are not hazardous and Highways Agency clean-up crews are tackling the spill. The motorway has been closed from junction 7 to 8 and motorists have been urged to avoid the area and find alternative routes. "Diversions are in place but the road is likely to remain closed in both directions for some considerable time," a police spokesman said. "Motorists going to Stansted Airport should plan alternative routes avoiding the motorway and allow plenty of extra time for their journeys." The slip roads from the M25 onto the M11 have been shut and congestion is building up on other roads in south Essex. The Highways Agency said the motorway was not likely to be reopened until 03:30 BST on Friday and it may be later. Divisional fire officer Terry Povey said: "The chemicals are low risk to the health of people and we have contained the leak. "We have blocked the drains and a clean-up team is tackling the spillage. "This has been downgraded because the chemicals do not pose a significant health risk. "It is now a matter of getting the road cleared so it can reopen." Essex Police said: "The fire service will be dealing with the spillage in liaison with the Environment Agency. "The ambulance service is treating the driver of the lorry, who has received cuts and bruises but is not believed to be seriously injured." No other vehicles were involved in the crash which happened at 17:10 BST. 30 January 2017 Last updated at 08:57 GMT Freerunning or parkour has been made an official sport in the UK. That could mean more of you doing it in your PE lessons - or it might even be in the Olympics one day. But what exactly is it? Ayshah went to meet kids who already do it to find out more. Sanford Wallace, who is known as the "Spam King", surrendered to FBI agents in California. Prosecutors allege he developed a program that breached Facebook spam filters and lured users to submit their account details. Mr Wallace denies the charges, which carry prison sentences of up to 10 years. He has been released on $100,000 (£61,000) bail. Prosecutors say Mr Wallace's program posted messages on Facebook users walls - purportedly from friends - urging users to visit a website where their account details were then harvested. They were then redirected to an affiliate website that earned Wallace "substantial revenue", the charges say. The program also retrieved lists of Facebook users' friends and posted spam messages on their walls, the indictment adds. About 500,000 Facebook accounts were compromised between November 2008 and March 2009, leading to more than 27 million spam messages being sent, prosecutors said. Mr Wallace, who is from Las Vegas, is charged with six counts of electronic mail fraud, three counts of intentional damage to a protected computer and two counts of criminal contempt. Facebook sued Mr Wallace in 2009 and a federal judge ordered him not to access Facebook's computer network. However, prosecutors say he repeatedly violated that order earlier this year. Mr Wallace also lost a civil case brought against him by MySpace in 2008 over junk messages sent to members of the social networking site. Homegrown was scrapped earlier this month 10 days before its opening night. Signatories including Simon Callow and Anish Kapoor said the decision "serves only to shut down conversation". The play's creators said voices had been "silenced", but the NYT said the play failed to meet standards. Director Nadia Latif and playwright Omar El-Khairy said earlier this month that they were given no prior warning about the cancellation of the play, which was inspired by three London schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join Islamic State. Kadiza Sultana, Amira Abase and Shamima Begum went missing in February. "This show was about having an intelligent conversation around an issue that has hysteria attached, and instead voices have been silenced with no explanation and without the content ever being seen because of this landscape of fear that we live in," they said. In letter published on Saturday signatories, who also included Sir David Hare, Young Vic artistic director David Lan and Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti, said the cancellation "is a troubling moment for British theatre and freedom of expression". "We fear that government policy in response to extremism may be creating a culture of caution in the arts," they add. The signatories say they are "deeply concerned" by claims the theatre may have been put under pressure to cancel the performance. They conclude: "We urge the NYT to give a full account of what led to the decision, and hope that a way can be found to stage it so that the young voices involved can be heard and the production can be judged on its merits." In June, the production was forced to move from the first school it was scheduled to play in - less than a mile away from the Bethnal Green school in east London attended by the missing schoolgirls - after Tower Hamlets council expressed concerns it would be "insensitive". Latif and El-Khairy say they were told police wanted to view the final script and considered putting plain clothed officers in the audience. Erhan Havaleoglu, 36, killed Leighanne Cameron, 29, by strangling and stabbing her at the house in Mid Calder on 28 October 2015. He was found guilty of murder by majority at the High Court in Paisley after denying the charge. Havaleoglu was remanded in custody. He is due to be sentenced on 13 September. Havaleoglu fled the scene and left his wife dying while their four-year-old daughter, Erin, and 18-month-old son, Jamie, were sleeping upstairs. He then drove to Edinburgh via a back road where police believe he ditched the murder weapon and clothes he was wearing - which have never been found. But a speck of Ms Cameron's blood was found on his shoes and some was found on the front door of his flat - where Ms Cameron had never been. Her body was found by her boyfriend Philip Kilkenny who, the court heard, she had been cheating on Havaleoglu with for six months before their split. Kilkenny, 42, found Leighanne's body and called the police, telling them Havaleoglu had "told her she'd never get to love another man". Havaleoglu denied murdering his estranged wife five months after they split up, blaming the killing on Kilkenny. Temporary judge Johanna Johnston told Havaleoglu: "You have been convicted by a jury of murder - the most serious crime under our law. "This was a brutal and sustained attack, during which you inflicted the most savage injuries to the deceased. "You left her dying in her own home with her children asleep upstairs. "Had it not been for Mr Kilkenny attending at the house, which was unknown to you, the children could have discovered the ghastly scene of their mother's murder. "You have left a family devastated by the loss of a much-loved mother, daughter and sister and you have robbed a young woman of her future with her family. "There is only one punishment for murder and that is life in prison." Det Chf Insp Raymond Brown, of Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team, said: "Leighanne's death has been absolutely devastating for her family and those close to her. "Her five-year-old daughter and two-year-old son have been robbed of their loving mum in the most horrific of circumstances. "Havaleoglu has callously refused to admit responsibility for Leighanne's murder ever since, despite extensive evidence against him, and we welcome today's decision. "Unfortunately, nothing can undo his actions that day but hopefully this verdict brings some sense of closure to all who knew and loved Leighanne." Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were called to the flat in Beech Avenue, Galashiels, at about 03:30 on Saturday. The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus guided a man and a woman from the flat. The couple were treated by an ambulance crew at the scene. In 2015 there were 17,586 cases of scarlet fever. Analysts have to go as far back as the year 1967 - when 19,305 cases were reported - to find a year when the numbers were higher. PHE is alerting all health practitioners to be mindful of the disease when assessing patients. Scarlet fever is most common in children under ten years old. PHE said about 600 cases are being flagged up each week in England, and further increases are expected as the infection comes into it the peak season - which typically occurs between late March and mid April. The number of cases of scarlet fever has soared in the last three years, PHE said. In 2013 there were just 4,642 cases reported in England and Wales, but this then jumped - by 236% - to 15,625 cases in 2014. A PHE spokesman said the reason behind the increase in cases was "unclear" but added that it "may reflect the long-term natural cycles in disease incidence seen in many types of infection". Scarlet fever is caused by bacteria known as group A streptococcus, and it is spread through close contact with people carrying the organism - often in the throat - or through contact with objects and surfaces contaminated with the bacterium. By Dominic Howell, health reporter In the early 1900s through to the 1930s the number of cases of scarlet fever in England and Wales regularly topped 100,000. Since then the numbers have, broadly speaking, been steadily declining - a trend spurred on by the introduction of antibiotics. That was of course until 2014 when health experts saw a significant spike in the figures. But why? In short, the answer has "flummoxed" medical analysts, and cannot be explained through the general rises in population. Test samples have been collated from different parts of the country and experts believe no new strain of scarlet fever has appeared. Equally, initial tests suggest the infection has not become resistant to penicillin, but this is being watched closely. The explanation remains a mystery. Dr Theresa Lamagni, PHE's head of streptococcal infection surveillance, said: "Symptoms usually clear up after a week and the majority of cases will resolve without complication as long as the recommended course of antibiotics is completed. "Potential complications include include ear infection, throat abscess and pneumonia. "Patients who do not show signs of improvement within a few days of starting treatment should seek urgent medical advice." In Wales alone, the number of cases recorded in 2015 fell slightly by 10% on the previous year from 1,375 cases to 1,234. But these numbers are still high when compared to the figure for 2013 in Wales which was just 190 cases. Dr Chris Williams, consultant epidemiologist for Public Health Wales, said: "We are monitoring an increase in scarlet fever in Wales, which is to be anticipated at this time of year." Meanwhile, Health Protection Scotland said: "Current data shows that cases have been rising through the early part of 2016 in Scotland, the number of laboratory reports is very similar to 2015 levels." In England, between September 2015 and March 2016, 6,157 cases were reported - a 7% rise on the same period in the previous year. In Northern Ireland, there were 363 cases in 2015 which is a fall of 41% on 2014 when 625 cases were recorded. In 2013, Northern Ireland had 199 cases. Englishman Haye, 35, will fight on 10 December against a yet-to-be-named opponent, who could be American veteran Shannon Briggs. The home of Welsh rugby has not hosted a boxing event since November 2007. It is understood officials are keen to bring boxing back to the venue, but they have concerns over protecting the pitch before the 2017 Six Nations. Haye was out of the sport for three and a half years after having shoulder surgery in 2013, but returned with a first-round knockout of Australian Mark de Mori in January. He secured another knockout win over Swiss Arnold Gjergjaj in his second comeback fight in May. The 33 year old had been detained by Hertfordshire police officers on Sorbus Road, Turnford, just before 22:00 GMT on Wednesday. The force said he then escaped and drove off in a police car. He was eventually arrested on the A10 at Great Amwell, having driven the wrong way up the dual carriageway. The man is currently being questioned on suspicion of harassment with fear of violence, aggravated taking of a motor vehicle without consent, escaping lawful custody, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, driving without insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence. A number of police cars, including the one stolen, were damaged, and a helicopter was used to track him through Broxbourne, East Herts and Essex. Supt Geoff Camp said: "The stolen marked car, which had blue lights flashing, was driven erratically and at one point was driven southbound on the northbound carriageway of the A10. "One driver had to take action to avoid a collision and suffered a minor injury. "A significant number of resources were deployed during the incident, with public safety being paramount for officers. "Units on the ground were joined by the helicopter in an attempt to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. "A full investigation to establish the circumstances of what happened is under way and as a matter of course the professional standards unit has been contacted." Fly-half Finn Russell and prop Allan Dell were drafted in last Saturday, but have played a combined total of 15 minutes from the bench. "I don't understand why he called those guys in if he's not going to use them," said Tait. "What was the point in bringing those guys in?" Tait questioned why Dell was not introduced while Joe Marler was seemingly carrying an injury during Tuesday's draw with the Hurricanes. "If the players are there, and the game's in the balance, the boys were tired, at least put those boys on," Tait told BBC Scotland. Russell replaced Welshman Dan Biggar for a head injury assessment in Wellington, while Dell's sole on-field contribution came in last week's win over the Chiefs, when he replaced James Haskell with England loose-head Marler sin-binned. Gatland said after Tuesday's match: "So much was made about devaluing the jersey, so we made a decision we would try and get through the game with as many of the starting XV as we could." The Lions, who lost the first Test in Auckland, face New Zealand in the second Test in Wellington on Saturday and the final Test in Auckland on 8 July. Tait, part of the series-winning Lions squad that toured South Africa in 1997, fears a backlash if the Lions cannot turn the series around. "Those guys know they're not going to be involved in the next two Test matches," Tait told BBC Scotland. "They're just going to be there to hold shields and run against the opposition in team runs. "The guys will just deal with what they're there to do, but they'll be pretty disappointed and wondering why they're there. "They'll keep doing their jobs, but I think at the end of the tour, they might ask themselves, will they be judged on that until the end of their days? You were a Lion, but you didn't actually play. "A lot of guys sit on the fence on this because it all depends on what Gatland does in the next two Tests. "If they win on Saturday and the week after there'll be nothing said and he'll be this great coach again. "But this time if they do lose the Test series, it will probably erupt." The 27-year-old left the club - who are also known as Anambra Warriors - in November, having rejected a lesser role after he had led them to the 2016 Nigerian FA Cup. He has made a dramatic return following the exit of his successor, former Accra Hearts of Oak manager Kenichi Yatsuhashi, who left the club last month with the board citing "unprofessional conduct". Former Ghana international forward Yaw Preko has been in temporary charge of the side following the exit of Yatsuhashi. Everton, the youngest manager to win the Nigerian FA Cup at 27, returns with Brazilian player Alberico Barbosa da Silva who also helped the team to fourth place in the Premier League last season. FC IfeanyiUbah, who have a partnership deal with English side West Ham and play in the same colours as the Premier League club, will face Egyptian club Al Masry in the Caf Confederation Cup first round next month. Rhiannon Owen was at a cash machine on Saturday night when a taxi driver shouted at her to run. The 19-year-old said she was about 10ft (3m) from one of the knife attackers and had warned people in a nearby pub. She told her father David they were hiding and had heard gunshots outside the pub when he called at 23:00 BST. Mr Owen, from Nantwich, Cheshire, added: "She got a warning from a taxi driver who got her attention. "She hadn't seen him [the attacker] coming. "He got within 10ft of her. She saw the guy wielding a knife, saw him stab at, or stab someone, as she ran away, but she didn't look back after that point." More updates on this story Miss Owen, who is a student nurse, ran into Applebee's pub where she joined 30 or 40 others and hid in a store room. Her father said he saw her about an hour later on the BBC News Channel. "She ran into an open fronted cafe-bar and yelled 'there's people with knives' and the bar staff locked themselves into a storage room upstairs," he added. "It was so surreal. We're a bit shaken up, still a little bit disorientated, but the relief is palpable. "I felt utterly helpless on the night. "You're just relying on the police and security services to protect people... they reacted very quickly." Miss Owen is appealing for the taxi driver to get in touch because she believes he saved her life and allowed her to warn others. A group of doctors and researchers have criticised a reliance on "outdated" blood tests for diagnosis - saying these sometimes give false reassurance. Their report in The Lancet says the UK has one of the worst death rates from liver disease in Europe. GPs' leaders agree that family doctors need better access to diagnostic tools. Liver disease cases are often related to alcohol consumption or obesity. The illness can also be caused by the hepatitis B and C viruses. The report says liver disease is already the UK's third most common cause of premature death, with the number of fatal cases rising. Most lives lost are among people of working age. The report quotes NHS figures that say 600,000 people in England and Wales have some form of liver disease. About 10% of them have cirrhosis. Liver disease was behind 57,682 hospital admissions and 10,948 deaths in 2012. The report says picking up cases earlier leads to better outcomes for patients. Prof Roger Williams, who led the research and is the director of the Institute of Hepatology in London, said: "The rising rates of mortality from liver disease over the past three decades are a terrible reflection on the UK. "Deaths will continue to rise until there are radical improvements in treatment services. "Hospital care for patients with advanced liver disease has been shown to be less than good in more than half of cases. "And early detection of liver disease by GPs and primary care services is virtually non-existent. "GPs know very little about it and don't particularly want to get involved. "The ordinary test for liver function often shows as normal - even when someone has cirrhosis." The report says GPs rely on blood tests that show inflammation to the liver, which can fluctuate, rather than having access to scanners, which give a more consistent picture of scarring. Another member of the team, Dr Nick Sheron, who runs the liver unit at Southampton General Hospital, said: "GPs don't have access to the right technology. "They are using blood tests which simply don't work. It's 19th Century technology for a 21st Century problem." The experts also want politicians to set a minimum price for a unit of alcohol and to tax sugary drinks. Their report also calls for drugs and vaccination against hepatitis viruses to be made available on the NHS. Prof Sir Ian Gilmore, who co-founded the Alcohol Health Alliance UK, said: "Getting people to reduce their drinking works and is really cost-effective. "But our politicians will not take this seriously. "Alcohol dependency is treated as a lifestyle choice - like a designer brand of jeans - rather than as a disease." Public Health England welcomed the report and said it would work with the doctors. Its lead for liver disease, Prof Julia Verne, said: "These cases involve a marginalised group of people who are often hard to reach." She added: "10% of people who die from liver disease have had no admissions to hospital in the last year of their life - showing they have not been picked up at all." Dr Imran Rafi, chairman of the Royal College of GPs' Clinical Innovation and Research Centre, said: "It is clear that more needs to be done to identify this condition as early as possible in adults - and to tackle the negative effects that alcohol consumption and obesity can have across society. "With the resources available to us, it is difficult for GPs to identify liver disease in its early stages. "So it is welcome that the report recognises the need for GPs and practice teams to have better access to diagnostic and screening tools. "Our influence is limited. It is politicians who need to act now and introduce measures to really make a difference." Denise Caisley, 32, from Barrhead, East Renfrewshire, ran into the town's Costcutter store, last March and stabbed at a till in a bid to open it. After giving up, she was caught by police and claimed two men had made her carry out the robbery. Moments earlier, she had told a passer-by: "Back off, I'm going in to do that shop." The High Court in Glasgow heard how Caisley had been spotted "creeping" outside the Costcutter store at about 19:00 on 1 March last year. She was wearing the black bin bags, a mask and latex gloves and had her hands behind her back with a knife in each. The man she spoke to then shouted into the shop that a robbery was taking place and told people to run. As the shop owner ran to get help, Caisley got behind the counter and tried to force the till open. Prosecutor Mark McGuire said: "There was a woman and her young son standing waiting to be served. Caisley began slashing at a display while they were standing less than three feet away." The court heard that the "increasingly irate" robber wildly stabbed at the till to get money. She then stormed outside and demanded that staff open the cash register - but they refused. CCTV footage played in court showed Caisley return and begin to tear off covers from a cigarette display. Mr McGuire: "She then took her time apparently perusing the selection before removing a number of packets." The prosecutor said Caisley then "took a moment" to decided what else to steal before taking alcohol and running out of the store. When caught by police, she was still wearing the mask and bin bags. Two knives were also discovered. She told officers: "Two guys made me do it. I'm sorry, it's not my fault." Caisley pleaded guilty to an assault and robbery charge and a charge of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner. Judge Lord Boyd remanded her in custody until sentencing next month. Lawyers for Mr Zimmerman, 29, argued he acted in self-defence and with justifiable use of deadly force in the death of Trayvon Martin. The jury retired on Friday to consider its verdict on charges of either second-degree murder or manslaughter. The case sparked a fierce debate about racial profiling in the US. Spontaneous protest marches were staged overnight in US cities including San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington and Atlanta, US media reported. Police and community leaders appealed for calm in Sanford, the Florida town where the shooting took place. After the verdict, Judge Deborah Nelson told Mr Zimmerman he was free to go. "Your bond will be released. Your GPS monitor will be cut off when you exit the courtroom over here. And you have no further business with the court," Judge Nelson said. Mr Zimmerman showed little reaction as the verdict was read out. "Hopefully everyone will respect the jury's verdict," his lawyer Mark O'Mara told reporters after the case. He said Mr Zimmerman would now have to be "very cautious and protective of his safety because there is still a fringe element who have said that they would revenge - that they would not listen to - a verdict of not guilty." US media on Zimmerman verdict Another member of his defence team, Don West, said: "I'm thrilled that this jury kept this tragedy from becoming a travesty." The BBC's David Willis, in Florida, says the case brought into sharp relief some of the most divisive issues in the United States: race, gun control and equal justice under the law. Florida police did not arrest Mr Zimmerman for six weeks after the shooting, provoking mass rallies in Florida and throughout the US. Police justified their decision not to detain him by citing the state's controversial "stand your ground" law, which allows a citizen to use lethal force if he or she feels in imminent danger. Police initially said the law prevented them from bringing charges. Benjamin Crump, the Martin family lawyer, said: "Trayvon Martin will forever remain in the annals of history... as a symbol for the fight for equal justice for all." He, too, appealed for calm, saying "for Trayvon to rest in peace, we must all be peaceful". The family's legal team said they were not in the courtroom when the verdict was read out. State Attorney Angela Corey said she believed prosecutors had "brought out the truth on behalf of Trayvon Martin". "This case has never been about race or the right to bear arms,'' she said. "We believe this case all along was about boundaries, and George Zimmerman exceeded those boundaries." As the jury retired on Friday, the judge told the panel of six women to consider whether Mr Zimmerman acted in self-defence and with justifiable use of deadly force. Without explicitly discussing race, the prosecution had suggested Mr Zimmerman assumed the African-American teenager, who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt as he walked in the rain, was up to no good. But the defence said Trayvon Martin punched their client, slammed his head into the pavement and reached for Mr Zimmerman's gun. The accused, who was legally armed with a pistol, had been sitting in his vehicle on a dark street when he saw Martin. Mr Zimmerman telephoned police to report a suspicious person, then left his vehicle in apparent pursuit of the teenager. Shortly afterwards, Martin was found dead, shot in the chest. Earlier, Mr Zimmerman's lawyer said he had proven his client's "pure, unadulterated innocence" in Martin's death. But prosecutors said the accused had told a series of lies. US President Barack Obama commented on the case last March following calls for the arrest of Mr Zimmerman. He said the "tragedy" of an unarmed black teenager shot dead in Florida should prompt some national soul-searching. "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon," President Obama told reporters at the White House. Following the verdict, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) - best known for its battles against segregation and discrimination - said it was calling "immediately for the Justice Department to conduct an investigation into the civil rights violations committed against Trayvon Martin". "This case has re-energised the movement to end racial profiling in the United States," Roslyn M Brock, chairwoman of the NAACP, said in a statement. Lyn Dexter was taken to St James's University Hospital in Leeds after falling seriously ill on Sunday. The 68-year-old was asked on Wednesday by a ward sister if her bed could be wheeled into a shower room to free up space on the ward. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said it was "very sorry this happened". After refusing the offer, Ms Dexter said another patient stayed in there overnight instead. "[The sister] said, 'We would leave the door open for you, would you sleep in here overnight?' "I looked at her and I started crying, I said, 'I'm sorry, I know you're under stress and duress, but the answer's no.'" "Someone had had a shower in it that evening, it was still damp." Ms Dexter, from Seacroft, was moved to a ward but said she hoped she "never had to go back" to the hospital again. "The staff work hard, but there's no beds and too many people," she added. Dawn Marshall, nurse director at the trust, said: "The trust does not regard a large shower room as the right place to temporarily look after a patient, and we are very sorry this happened and have apologised to the patient and their family. "The decision by the staff on duty to use this room was done with the best of intentions in an attempt to provide more privacy overnight, but we accept this was not an appropriate course of action." Most of the 37 survivors reached an island in the lake while others were found in a village, some of them washed ashore. The children were on holiday from Moscow, and Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has sent doctors and psychologists. Four people have been arrested on suspicion of safety violations. "A great tragedy has occurred in Karelia," the mayor tweeted. "My condolences to their families and friends." Rescue services say they received an alert at 11:15 (08:15 GMT) on Sunday that a tour group of 47 children and four adults was missing on Lake Syamozero after a storm. Emergency crews using boats and helicopters were sent to the scene. On Sunday evening, investigators announced that all of the victims were children, denying earlier reports that one adult was among the dead. It appears that the boating party, mostly adolescents aged between 12 and 15, were staying in a summer camp near the lake, a popular outdoor tourism destination. They had set out in boats on Saturday when the storm rose. Between 49 and 51 people were in the party. One of the survivors, a girl aged 12, raised the alarm after reaching a local village on Sunday, a police source told Russian tabloid Life News (in Russian). Yulia is quoted as saying the group were using two boats and a raft when the storm began, and the craft were scattered across the lake. Washed ashore, she only recovered consciousness on Sunday, after which she walked along the shore to the village of Kudama. Along the way, she met a boy survivor who was covered in blood and could not move. After taking note of the spot where she had found him, she reached the village, where a local resident phoned emergency services. A regional MP, Alexei Gavrilov, reportedly told state TV channel Rossiya 24 there had been repeated warnings in the days before the storm, advising against any boating on the lake. "They didn't have the right to go out boating," he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency. In 2011 a tsunami hit the nuclear power plant causing huge amounts of damage and leaking radioactive material into the surrounding area. This radiation is thought to be the reason that butterflies in the area have developed unusually small wings and abnormal eyes. They also had changes in the shape of their legs, antennae and wings. A study published in the Journal of Scientific Reports says that the mutations increased in the next generation of insects. The study collected butterflies from across the country and found that mutation rates were much higher among butterfly collected near Fukushima. It shows the effect of radiation on wildlife.

Could it be DCI Roz Huntley's husband Nick? Or lawyer Jimmy Lakewell? There are plenty of other suspects in the mix. As the climax approaches, we caught up with series creator and writer Jed Mercurio to give him an AC-12 style interrogation. Is it true a sixth series is not confirmed? We definitely have a fifth, not a sixth... but we haven't started working on it yet. I need to think what the character is first. Did you instantly think of Thandie Newton for the role of DCI Roz Huntley or were other people in the running? It just evolved. I don't normally think of a specific actor, I concentrate on the character and then when we get into pre-production that's how names come up. I always knew Thandie was top talent, she was a real laugh on set. It was the easiest casting process I've ever been through. Did Thandie's status as a Hollywood star have an impact? We were flattered she wanted to do the role - most of her career she's been doing Hollywood movies so it was a boost for the whole team. How do you come up with the plots for Line of Duty? I come up with the story ideas on my own. I like to sit at my desk... sometimes I get inspiration when I'm going about my normal day-to-day life. Then when I've come up with some sort of story, I get the editorial team on board and we try to develop it. I then write an outline of the first episode which takes about a week. Only when we are happy with the first episode do we start on the second. Can we expect any surprises for the final episode? (pauses, laughs) You will just have to watch! How do real-life police officers react to the plot? One of our intelligence advisers for the show said his team have been trying to crack who balaclava man is - it's quite funny. What would you like to explore in the next series? I want to look at the personal lives of all the regulars in series five - they've taken a backseat in this series to Roz Huntley, so it would be good to explore that side of things a bit more. The regulars are definitely up for doing more... that's if they survive the final episode! What's more important, ratings or awards? I always try and distinguish between facts and opinions. I am just pleased the show is being watched. Ratings are the most important thing. What advice do you have for budding crime series writers? Just write, write, write. Watch lots of shows and films in that genre. Read lots and think about story and characters. Are you tempted to write over in the US? I actually went over there for a while when my career was quiet over in the UK. I wrote pilots for shows over there for about five years. I like the differences between American and British television dramas. The final of Line of Duty is on BBC One on Sunday night at 9pm.

It's had the nation gripped and now finally it's time to find out who Balaclava Man is in the police drama Line of Duty.

The union, which represents nurses, midwives and health care assistants, says there is "implicit pressure" on staff dealing with non-emergency calls. South Western Ambulance Service Trust denies the claims, saying it just wants to reduce "inappropriate referrals". Over a 12-month period, referrals to 999 have risen by 16%. The number of emergencies dealt with by paramedics has gone up by 5% in the past year, with some of the incidents being referrals from the 111 service. Call handlers at the 111 service are not medically trained, but ask a set of clinical questions and determine the most appropriate response from the answers they get. They are able to consult medical staff at the centre. Additional training was given to NHS 111 staff following a critical report into the death of a baby with sepsis in Cornwall, but staff have claimed the South Western Ambulance Service Trust (SWAST) does not have enough clinicians to cope with the numbers calling the service. The RCN says this means nurses are unable to take breaks and the pressure of dealing with the number of calls waiting too long for a clinical response is creating high levels of stress-related sickness. Steven Pulsford, a senior officer at the RCN, said: "There appears to be implicit pressure not to put calls through to 999 and we're understandably concerned about patient safety as a result of that. "The concern is that there are not enough clinicians in the service and absence due to work-related stress is causing increased pressure on those who do remain at work." The union says concerns have been raised by staff since April 2015 but they have not received "satisfactory responses". SWAST's chief executive Ken Wenman said the trust was aware of the concerns and they have been included in an investigation which has been commissioned. He said he had already agreed to meet the RCN to discuss the matter further. "Patient safety and staff welfare is our highest priority and all complaints and concerns raised are taken very seriously," he said.

SWAST claims inappropriate ambulance call-outs "can create fear and anxiety when it is not necessary". Call advisors must now refer up before transferring to 999, unless the patient has stopped breathing or has no pulse. It also asks call advisors to report any nurse who they may think have inappropriately sent an ambulance. Neil Le Chevalier, director of operations at SWAST said it's "never been the case" that call handlers have faced pressure not to transfer to 999. "We always say to our 111 call centre 'if there's a priority call then you must put them through' and an ambulance is sent right away." A meeting between the Royal College of Nursing and SWAST has been arranged for next week. UTV Ireland was launched in January and the company initially expected it to lose £3m in its first year. But the station has struggled to find an audience and losses have spiralled. In October, UTV agreed to sell all of its television assets to ITV for £100m. In an update on Friday, UTV said the "uncertainty" created by speculation in the run up to the deal had "a negative impact" on UTV Ireland. The media company added that trading in the Northern Irish television business and the radio division is broadly in line with expectations. When the deal with ITV completes, the reminder of the UTV group will essentially be a radio business. The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) said emissions in Scotland fell by 9.9% in 2011. The drop for the UK as a whole was 6.9%. However, climate campaigners said the figures showed that the Scottish government still had more to do to meet future emission levels targets. Much of the reduction was due to the weather and a switch from coal-fired electricity generation to nuclear and renewable sources. The CCC said the reduction also reflected additional investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency. The committee is an independent statutory body set up under the Climate Change Act to advise the UK government on setting carbon budgets, and to report to parliament on the progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is the latest Scottish breakdown of the UK emission figures for 2011. There were drops of more than 20% in emissions from the the power and residential sectors, and a 15% reduction in emissions in the public sector. Despite the fall in emissions, Scotland narrowly missed the legislated annual target of 53.4 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e). The CCC said this was due to a change in the way estimated emissions were calculated. The committee's latest report, which is done for the Scottish government, said meeting future targets remained "very challenging". It has highlighted several areas that will required further action in order to meet future targets. They included developing the electric vehicle market through more investment in the charging infrastructure, and focusing on pilot projects for new farming practices. David Kennedy, chief executive of the CCC, said: "There has been good progress in Scotland on reducing emissions in key sectors of the economy, notably through investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency. "This should not be obscured by the fact that emissions in 2011 were above the level targeted because of a change to the accounting methodology. But much remains to be done in terms of policy development and implementation to achieve very challenging future targets, and to unlock the benefits for Scotland of building a low-carbon economy." Scottish Environment and Climate Change Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: "This report highlights how Scotland is doing much better in reducing climate change emissions than the UK as a whole - with almost a 10% reduction in Scotland's greenhouse gas emissions. "In 2011, Scotland led western Europe in terms of reducing our climate change emissions and the committee's analysis of underlying trends in emissions indicates we remain on track to achieving our long-term climate change targets." Climate change campaign group The Stop Climate Chaos Scotland (SCCS) welcomed the drop in emissions but urged the Scottish government to go further with new green energy initiatives to make "a better Scotland". Tom Ballantine, chairman of SCCS, said: "Taking action on climate change will create a better Scotland, where we have warmer homes, healthier transport options, and cleaner air. "Scottish ministers can make changes right now to ensure that emissions from all sectors reduce year on year." He added: "Scotland has rightly set out to be a world-leader on climate change. It is imperative that we now show that it is possible to make this happen, and, at the same time, that Scottish people can benefit from the changes made." Owner Ann Budge has been leading a four-strong team who have been interviewing candidates over the past two weeks. It is highly likely that Jon Daly will remain in charge for Saturday's Premiership visit to Motherwell. Dougie Freedman, who was interviewed, has taken up the position of sporting director at Crystal Palace, where he previously played and managed. Former England boss Steve McClaren was on a shortlist of targets but has since gone to Maccabi Tel Aviv as a coaching consultant. Interim head coach Daly has been interviewed, along with former Tynecastle players Steven Pressley and Paul Hartley, while contact has been made with Billy Davies. BBC Scotland understands the board will have three options at their disposal. BBC Scotland has also learned that Scot Gardiner will be leaving at the end of the month. Gardiner joined the club as part of the business management team back in July 2014 just a few weeks after Budge assumed control. This is the first interview she has given since being awarded over £3m from an employment tribunal for sexual discrimination, earlier this month. "I will get net somewhere around £2m," she says, "most of which will then end up going to lawyers. Lawyers have charge on my house so everything basically is going to go to them." Ms Lokhova tells of her three-and-a-half year fight against her former employers, the Russian investment bank, Sberbank CIB (UK) Ltd, at machine-gun speed. The hurt of the financial loss is dwarfed by the emotional cost to her and, she says, the heavy toll on her mental health. "The word 'hell' is a nice way of describing it... the effect that it had on my life is absolutely terrible and it's very difficult to feel victorious. It's actually very, very sad. Sad for everyone, there is no victory in this." So why was this high-flying banker awarded such a huge sum in compensation for a job she held for less than a year? Back in 2011, Ms Lokhova was highly regarded by Sberbank's senior management. She was a tough cookie who had worked for them before and had been their most successful sales person. In June 2011 she was appointed to a new post in the bank's London office. The bank agreed to pay her over £300,000 a year with the chance to make even more for a job she loved. "I really, really enjoyed this because for a young person it was very exciting to be sort of in the centre of the world where things were happening," she tells the BBC. Crucially, however, some at Sberbank CIB's London office did not want her there as she had been appointed from head office. Her new job was in a small, quiet office - and she immediately felt hostility from her new colleagues. "The atmosphere was sort of strange and I started getting reports from people when I'm not in the office. People, especially my direct boss, calling me derogatory names." Names like "Miss Bonkers" - but there was much worse being said by her direct boss, David Longmuir, in emails and messages to her colleagues and clients in major investment banks. "Crazy Miss Cokehead can have my desk," said one, calling her a "schizo nightmare… another expensive mistake". Ms Lokhova did not know about these messages but the atmosphere was starting to affect her work. "In the sales environment you have to be a very sort of happy person and very confident because it's actually very tough to call a very important client from scratch. You have to be in the right frame of mind." She had worked hard to build a successful career in investment banking but says her confidence now began to drain away. "This toxic atmosphere, it was getting me sort of quite upset. I thought I was just being paranoid, I thought I'm imagining [it] but I just felt really, really stressed." By the end of 2011, just six months into her new post, Ms Lokhova complained to the bank that she was being discriminated against - a month later she was placed on sick leave by her doctor. She tried to negotiate an amicable exit from the company. Her lawyer asked for any written communications about her. Several boxes arrived and Ms Lokhova was stunned at what she discovered. On the first page was a message from her direct boss, David Longmuir, to a client, before she even arrived at Sberbank CIB (UK) , which said: "We're all quaking here awaiting for arrival of a crazy Miss Cokehead in a puff of sulphurous smoke." "I just remember opening the first page," says Ms Lokhova, "and everything just going blank and me just bursting into tears and dropping the file. "My whole career flashed in front of me and to have somebody just basically just take it away from me like this, I just couldn't understand." What made it even more painful, she says, was that many of Mr Longmuir's messages were sent when he was sitting so close to her in the office that their elbows touched. The repeated false accusation that she was a class A drug user was one she had to defend. She decided to take the bank to an employment tribunal. In April 2012 Sberbank CIB conducted a disciplinary hearing against Ms Lokhova's direct boss, David Longmuir. It lasted just five minutes. He admitted his comments were unacceptable and he was given a written warning. In 2013 Ms Lokhova's case for sex discrimination, harassment and victimisation came before the Central London Employment Tribunal. It was a bruising process. "I was being told that I was useless at my job. I was being told that I'm unstable. Everything was looked into through this sort of very negative light," she says. After what she calls "eight days of hell" there was one final sting in the tail. She was asked to examine a message to her partner referring to "lines". It was suggested that the word meant lines of cocaine. "It was put to me in open court in front of all the press that I was a drug taker and my partner was a drug provider," she says. She had actually been referring to the well-known banking term trading "lines" and the tribunal agreed that this was not a reference to drugs. Ms Lokhova had had enough. She voluntarily took a drugs test which she says, "of course proved negative, I've never taken any drugs in my life". When the judgement arrived six months later it was damning. It found that Ms Lokhova's manager and the head of the Sberbank CIB's London office were personally liable for her harassment and victimisation. Mr Longmuir was given a £160,000 pay-off by the bank. The head of the London office is still in post. It took another 18 months for the final financial award of almost £3.2m damages. There was an extra sum for aggravated damage because the tribunal said there had been a deliberate attempt by Sberbank CIB to put pressure on Ms Lokhova by claiming she was a drug user, when the bank knew this was not true. The award is to compensate her for the fact that she will never work in financial services again. She is hoping to return to her original field of study, history, researching the Soviet secret service, the KGB. But her legal fight is not over. Sberbank CIB is appealing against the amount the tribunal said they must pay in damages and in a statement told the BBC the incidents against Ms Lokhova were isolated and unrepresentative of its working environment. The bank insists it is an equal opportunities employer and has taken steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. So after three-and-a-half years of legal battles and millions in legal bills, has it been worth it? She shoots back an answer: "Of course it wasn't worth it, people who think you come out of court as a victor - that's just not true. "Everyone loses out. What a waste of three years of my life, a waste of health, a waste of money." Listen to The Report on BBC Radio 4 at 20:00 BST on Thursday 30 April. The force said about 50 officers were en route to the capital to support the Metropolitan Police, which will have 16,000 officers on duty. A force spokesman said the deployment would not be at the "expense of policing in Sussex". On Monday, officers and helicopter support from Surrey and Sussex were sent to London to help tackle rioting. Riot police from Surrey were on duty in the Tottenham area of north London, from about 15:00 BST on Monday. Another team of officers was deployed in Croydon at about 03:00 BST following a request from the Met Police. Sussex Police said a number of specially-trained officers were also giving assistance. At 08:30 BST on Tuesday morning the force said all the officers had returned safely to the county. An extra 1,700 police officers were deployed in London, where shops were looted and buildings were set alight during a third night of violence. The Met Police said at least 400 people had been arrested following the riots across the city. Some of the people who have been arrested have been transferred to cells at Guildford police station. Surrey Police temporary assistant chief constable Charlie Doyle said: "We have well rehearsed plans for supplying mutual aid to other forces to support them during such exceptional events but our priority remains the safety of Surrey residents. "Whilst there have been no significant incidents of public disorder in the county, we will continue to monitor the situation and ensure we have suitable resources to deal with any incidents that arise." A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "It is important that we do all we can to prevent the sad scenes that we are seeing elsewhere. "We would appeal to everyone of all ages and from all walks of life to disregard the rumour-mongering that is unnecessarily raising tensions and fears in some Sussex communities." Officers from seven other police forces have also been drafted in to aid the Met Police. The Carling Cup game between Crystal Palace and Crawley Town at Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening has been postponed. Southeastern trains and Southern Railway said their services had not been affected by the rioting in London. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered US forces "to begin transporting forces from Burundi to the Central African Republic," his spokesman said in a statement. It follows a request from France, which has deployed 1,600 soldiers to the CAR. President Obama has called for calm and the arrest of those behind the violence. French soldiers started to remove weapons from fighters on Monday. There was a brief exchange of gunfire between armed men and French forces near the airport in the capital, Bangui, as the disarmament began. But officials said most of the militiamen had been cleared by Monday night. It comes after days of communal fighting claimed around 400 lives. Mr Hagel authorised the US depoyment following a request from French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian for "limited" military assistance, his spokesman Carl Woog said. "In the near term, France has requested airlift support to enable African forces to deploy promptly to prevent the further spread of sectarian violence in the Central African Republic," he said. "The United States is joining the international community in this effort because of our belief that immediate action is required to avert a humanitarian and human rights catastrophe in the Central African Republic, and because of our interest in peace and security in the region." Two US military C-17 aircraft will fly about 850 troops from Burundi into the CAR within the next 24 hours, according to reports. In an audio message, President Obama called on the government to join Muslim and Christian leaders in appealing for calm and "arrest those who are committing crimes". White House officials said he recorded the message in Senegal as his plane stopped to refuel on the way to South Africa. The CAR has been in chaos since rebel leader Michel Djotodia ousted President Francois Bozize in March and installed himself as the first Muslim leader in the Christian-majority country. The rebel alliance has now been officially disbanded but its fighters are accused of atrocities against Christians. The extra French troops were sent into the CAR on Friday after the UN Security Council backed a mandate to restore order "by all necessary measures" the previous evening. The UN resolution followed a surge of violence involving Christian self-defence militias that had sprung up after a series of attacks by mainly Muslim fighters from the former rebel coalition. The Red Cross says 394 people were killed in three days of fighting in Bangui. Many of the victims are believed to have been children. The French army said it has restored some stability in the capital by Monday night. "There are no longer armed groups patrolling the city," said military spokesman Col Gilles Jaron. "Very quickly we realised that these groups had left their positions in their great majority." France's defence minister earlier said that fighters loyal to interim President Djotodia must return to barracks and the rest would have to surrender their weapons. France said on Saturday that the African Union would increase the size of its existing force of 2,500 peacekeepers to 6,000. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that as many as 9,000 peacekeepers would be required to move into the CAR, and he hoped they would eventually become a United Nations operation. An estimated 10% of CAR's 4.6 million people have fled their homes, while more than a million urgently need food aid, according to the UN. It would not automatically mean the end of fighting in Afghanistan, but it would open a new chapter in the history of the group, which is facing a crisis of leadership. A number of traditional high ranking Taliban militants with potential to lead the group and keep it united have either died of natural causes or were killed over the past 15 years. If his death is confirmed, who might take over? A faction within the Taliban would like Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, the eldest son of Taliban founder and spiritual head Mullah Omar, to take over. His son is believed to be about 27 years old and was appointed by Mullah Mansour in April 2016 as military commander of 15 out of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, and is a member of the group's powerful decision-making body, the Leadership Council. Other leading figures might favour Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, a founding member of the Taliban and Mullah Omar's former deputy, who has been held by Pakistan since 2010. Afghan spy agency confirm Taliban leader's death Profile: Mullah Akhtar Mansour The emergence of a new contender is also possible, but reaching a consensus would be a daunting task. The role of powerful commanders, including the Taliban's top military commander, Abdul Qayum Zakir, and Sirajuddin Haqqani - one of Mullah Mansour's two deputies and head of the Haqqani militant network - is also crucial in the election of the new leader. It is possible that Mullah Mansour's successor might adopt a more radical approach, in fighting, war tactics and peace talks with the Afghan government. The Taliban's splinter group, which emerged in opposition to Mullah Mansour's leadership, would likely be reconciled by a new leader. Of course, it depends who that is. It is also likely, however, that Mullah Mansour's death would lead to a further fragmentation of the Taliban. As a founding member of the Taliban who ran the insurgency as Mullah Omar's deputy for at least three years, Mullah Mansour had both the experience and a certain degree of legitimacy to lead the group. Mullah Mansour was known as a moderate figure and prone to a peaceful resolution of the Afghan conflict. But his time at the top was hit by several unexpected developments. He challenged the legitimacy of the so-called Islamic State group (IS) and declared an all-out war against it. The Taliban's opposition to IS has been instrumental in preventing the group establish itself in Afghanistan. It was also under Mullah Mansour's leadership that the Taliban expanded their territorial control throughout the country. They now hold more territory than in any year since 2001. In September 2015, the Afghan Taliban even managed to briefly capture Kunduz - the first provincial capital it had seized since their regime was ousted by US-led forces in late 2001, and the most important victory in that time. But Mullah Mansour also saw the emergence of a splinter Taliban group which resulted, for the first time in the Taliban's history, in internal fighting. The reports of his death come at a time when he had largely managed to establish his authority and heal the rifts within the group. The Taliban insurgency has shown its resilience over the past 15 years. But their biggest challenge now is finding a leader who could not only lead but inspire and unite the rank and file. While the US officials said it was "likely" that Mullah Mansour was killed, the Afghan intelligence agency, the National Directorate of Security (NDS) said categorically on Sunday that he was killed. This is not the first time that the death of Mullah Mansour has been reported. In December 2015, claims about his injury and even death in a shooting incident near the Pakistani city of Quetta turned out to be wrong. Several Taliban sources have denied the assassination of their leader in Saturday's drone strike. But it is now up to the US and the Taliban to prove their claim and counter-claim. The area targeted by the drone is known for Taliban activity, drug trafficking and smuggling of goods. It is close to Afghanistan's southern Kandahar and Helmand provinces and lies on the main road between Quetta and Taftan, on the Pakistan-Iran border. Over the past 15 years, the US has carried out hundreds of drone strikes in Pakistan, mainly in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) resulting in the killing of several high ranking militants. But this was the first known drone attack in Balochistan province, where the Taliban's main leadership council, the Quetta Shura, has reportedly been based. Timothy Joyce Senior, Christopher Joyce, Mary Joyce and Helen Collins, all of Redbridge Hollow, Old Abingdon Road, denied a total of 23 counts at Oxford Crown Court. Timothy Joyce Junior, of Redbridge Hollow, also appeared and denied four separate charges including affray. All five will face trial on 14 September. The slavery and forced labour charges relate to incidents that are alleged to have taken place between 6 April 2010 and 9 February this year. Of the 23 counts, Mr Joyce Senior has been solely charged with 20, including those of actual bodily harm and making threats to kill. Christopher Joyce, Mary Joyce and Helen Collins also deny charges relating to defrauding someone of their state benefits. The arrests were made as part of Thames Valley Police's Operation Rague, which relates to suspected human exploitation and slavery. Correction 13 July 2015: This story was amended to clarify the names of the accused and the charges they face. Amma Asante's A United Kingdom, about a British woman falling in love with an African king, stars British actors Rosamund Pike and David Oyelowo. Festival director Clare Stewart said her selection better reflects society at a time the film business is seen as being too white and male. The industry needs to be "mindful of audiences", she told the BBC. "We have a very diverse audience and the stories we bring to the screen should be reflecting that audience." Asante's film tells the story of Seretse Khama, King of Bechuanaland - now modern Botswana - and Ruth Williams, the London office worker he married in 1948 and the opposition they faced from their families and their own countries. In total, 74 countries are being represented at the 60th London Film Festival, which runs until 16 October. Some 245 films are featured over the 12 days, including 18 world premieres. Stars including Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Sigourney Weaver, Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams and Nicole Kidman are set to attend. Oyelowo is appearing in another high-profile film, Queen of Katwe, also starring Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o, which has its premiere on Sunday. The LFF will feature the European premiere of slave drama The Birth of a Nation, about Nat Turner's 1831 rebellion. Actor and director Nate Parker, who has faced recent media scrutiny over a historic rape trial, will be in London for the screening. The British Film Institute is also hosting a Black Star symposium to highlight the difficulties faced by black actors. There will also be gala premieres for Oliver Stone's Snowden, about the NSA whistleblower, designer Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals, Oscar-tipped musical La La Land, which stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, and Manchester by the Sea, a family drama set in Massachusetts starring Michelle Williams and Casey Affleck. The festival will close with Ben Wheatley's Free Fire, his follow-up to High Rise which features Brie Larson and Cillian Murphy. A 780-seat pop-up cinema has been erected in Victoria Embankment Gardens as part of the festival.

The former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss repeatedly swore at referee Mark Brown at half-time during a 1-0 defeat at Bury on 11 February. Sherwood, 48, has already served the ban, while he was also fined £2,000. On Monday, the FA published the written reasons for Sherwood's suspension. It includes a report from Brown, which describes Sherwood "pointing aggressively in my face", as well as claiming that the former England midfielder used an expletive on five occasions. Sherwood was appointed Swindon's director of football in November 2016. They are 22nd in League One, seven points from safety with seven games remaining. Despite being Vale's joint-top scorer with six goals, Ikpeazu, 20, last found the net on 3 October and made the last of his 28 appearances on Boxing Day. "Sometimes with Uche, it's a little bit unpredictable," said Page. "We thank him for his goals but we feel we can improve on that now." Ikpeazu's last start for Vale was in their 2-0 defeat at Burton - a match in which he was sent off for two bookable offences - and Page admits the forward was unlucky to find his route back into the side blocked by in-form fellow striker AJ Leitch-Smith. Media playback is not supported on this device "Uche started really well, dipped away a little bit, got sent off, and AJ came in and that's the nature of the game - you've got to be patient," Page told BBC Radio Stoke. "It's frustrating for him because he's maybe got pressure from Watford to be playing, from himself and his agent as he's out of contract at the end of the season and needs to put himself in the shop window - but I've got to be true to the lads who are playing well." Page says he hopes Ikpeazu can take some lessons out of his six-month stay with Vale. "I think his better games were at home with 4,500 cheering his name but away from home, not so much of an impact and I've had a chat with him about that. "That's something for his development and for him to learn from." The show is the culmination of three months work in a variety of lens-based art media and will include a large zoetrope inside the courtyard, as well as a camera obscura inside a caravan pitched on the green. The pictures shown here were all taken in the woods at Castell Coch on very old expired film stock. To prove the basis of an idea can come from virtually anywhere, Pountney told me that this work was inspired by the glass bedknobs on Lady Bute's bed in the castle. The glass bulbs refract the light, giving Pountney the idea to find new ways of seeing and displaying the work. The woodland images are to be projected onto screens in Lady Margaret's bedroom. "By pushing the technical capabilities of the lenses and film, I've hoped to illustrate the timeless nature of the wood," said Pountney. "I bought ten expired (mid 1980s) slide films, and really pushed them, using over and under exposure, lens flare, and shooting the same film twice to achieve serendipitous double exposures. The Zuiko 35mm and 50mm lenses were wide open to give a soft and dreamlike effect. "My aim was to re-introduce the idea of the woodland as a magical and unexplored place, almost in an Arthurian sense, reflecting the architectural pastiche of the castle. "This project builds on previous collaborative work between myself and Cadw and our shared belief in both the benefits of and connection between art and heritage. I hope people will see Castell Coch in a new way after they visit my exhibition." Art in the Castle can be seen at Castell Coch, Tongwynlais, Cardiff, Wales, on 13 and 14 of August We are heading into another long hot summer of soul searching for the Labour Party, but the circumstances this time round could not be more different. There was a sense last year that Labour members welcomed the opportunity to reflect on the future. Now we've had a year of blood-letting and the party's very future appears to be at stake and, as a result, there will be an intensity to the Corbyn versus Smith contest right from the beginning. This time last year, Jeremy Corbyn was the rank outsider. Now he goes into the latest challenge with the confidence that he had an overwhelming victory less than a year ago. The latest YouGov poll for the Times puts him well ahead, and some Welsh Labour insiders admit it's difficult to see past another Corbyn win. That said, strange things happen in leadership contests, and Owen Smith could build a head of steam this summer that will give him a chance for the top job. As I said earlier, Owen Smith never lacks confidence, he also never lacks energy, and he'll need all of that in August hustings around the country. Much depends on the registered supporters. Jeremy Corbyn won last year even among the full members, but the impact of the £3 supporters gave him a huge lead. It now costs £25 to become a registered supporter, and there's only a 48 hour window to sign up. We don't know the figures yet but it is fair to say they will have less of an impact. I presented a documentary last year about Jeremy Corbyn, largely based in the Rhondda valley, ironically a stone's throw from Owen Smith's Pontypridd constituency. It was clear then that Corbyn was tapping into the disillusionment with the political establishment in a way that no-one else on the left could match. To mount an effective challenge, Owen Smith will now have to get his central argument across that the current leader doesn't have what it takes to get into power. The follow-up claim is that unless Labour has a realistic chance of getting into Downing Street, it's not doing what is says on the tin which is to represent working people. Let battle commence. Scientists used robotic submersibles to dive more than 2,000m beneath the waves to explore four seamounts off the west coast of Scotland. The footage revealed vast coral reefs, and an array of crustaceans and fish living in the cold, dark waters. The team also collected thousands of samples, and believe many species may be new to science. Dr Kerry Howell, a deep sea biologist at Plymouth University, told BBC News: "Lots of people think of the deep sea as being a sort of desert of mud. "And in fact these mountain structures are far from that - [there are] so many animals, so much life." The Deep Links project team, a collaboration between Plymouth University, the University of Oxford, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and the British Geological Survey, spent six weeks at sea onboard the RSS James Cook. Of the four underwater mountains they explored, the biggest - the Anton Dohrn - stands at 1,700m tall. It would dwarf Ben Nevis, which has a peak of 1,344m - yet it is totally submerged. The scientists say until now these unique habitats have been little explored. Dr Howell explained: "We don't know very much about the underwater mountains off the coast of the UK. We went there initially in 2005, and that was the first time anyone had taken cameras there. But the footage wasn't great and technology has moved on since then. "So this time we were able to take really sophisticated robots there with HD film, and get really fantastic quality images." The scientists were able to control the Isis Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) from the deck of the ship, to record video, take photos and scoop up samples as it explored the deep. They also deployed Autosub 6000, an autonomous robot, to map the mountains. "You see the sea floor coming out of the gloom, and you don't know what you are going to find," said Dr Michelle Taylor, a deep sea biologist from the University of Oxford. "This is the first time that anybody has seen this sea mount, has seen the animals that live on this seamount, how they live, what they live on, who lives with them - and that's really exciting." The team found brightly coloured cold-water coral reefs that stretched for many kilometres. Some of the species were several metres high, while others were thought to be thousands of years old. They discovered huge sponge gardens crammed with tiny animals, crustaceans, including deep-sea crabs and shrimps, basket stars, sea anemones, and many fish species, including lepidions and chimaeras, which are related to sharks. It will take the team many months to analyse all of the footage and carefully examine the specimens they collected. Even at this stage, they expect there could be many species new to science. The team found that overall the seamounts were in good condition, with most designated as Marine Protected Areas. However, the scientists still found signs of human impact, including litter and trawl marks, and they are concerned about how climate change may affect these habitats in the future. Dr Taylor said: "It's very important to understand what lives in these locations because they might change - and they might change forever." Dr Howell added that the reefs were among the best she had ever seen. "These mountains are British, they are in British waters - and they support such an amazing diversity of life," she told the BBC. "And the fact the UK has its own coral reefs, people don't appreciate that. "These reefs are enormous and in really great condition - [they are] so beautiful, so important - and I really hope that people can appreciate what they have on their doorstep."

The car hit a Marussia support truck which had been used to transport it to the track. The Spaniard, 32, is being treated at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. Emergency medical charity Magpas, which helped to treat De Villota at the scene, said she had suffered "facial and head injuries" and was in a stable condition on her arrival at hospital. Marussia said she later regained consciousness and was being assessed by doctors. A spokesman for the team said: "Maria is conscious and medical assessments are ongoing." He added that "she has been receiving the best medical attention possible at the hospital". BBC Cambridgeshire presenter Chris Mann, who witnessed the crash, said the car was slowing down when it "suddenly accelerated" into the back of the lorry. "The top of her car and her helmet seemed to take the brunt of it," he added. "She didn't move for about 15 minutes. "It was an absolutely awful moment. I was surrounded by people that knew her very well, including family, friends, engineers, and her manager." He said De Villota had been driving at up to 200mph during the testing but the car was travelling considerably slower at the time of the crash. A Cambridgeshire police spokesman said they were notified by the ambulance service "of a slow-speed crash involving a racing car and a lorry". By Andrew BensonBBC Sport chief Formula 1 reporter Formula 1 cars are extremely challenging machines and can require significant skills and experience even to control in a straight line, but Maria de Villota is exactly the kind of competent racing driver typically asked to conduct this sort of test. Extremely unlikely ever to qualify as a fully-fledged Grand Prix driver, she has raced solidly since 2001 in various lower categories and last summer completed a test for the Renault F1 team at a race track in France. Crashes are not unknown at straight-line tests, but the circumstances surrounding this one sound especially unusual and it would be unwise to speculate what caused it before a full investigation is undertaken. He added: "It looks like the driver has suffered a serious injury and we will be notifying the Health and Safety Executive as it happened on private land." East of England Ambulance Service spokesman Gary Sanderson said: "A woman has sustained life-threatening injuries and following treatment at the scene by paramedics, she has been taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital for further care." The crash happened at the start of two days of Formula 1 testing at the site. Minutes before, Marussia driver Timo Glock said on Twitter: "Great to see @mariavillota in the car with the new update. Make it quick." In a statement, Marussia said: "At approximately 09.15hrs BST, the Marussia F1 Team's test driver Maria de Villota had an accident in the team's MR-01 race car at Duxford Airfield, where she was testing the car for the first time. "The accident happened at the end of her first installation run and involved an impact with the team's support truck." Former F1 champions are among the hundreds of people to have wished De Villota well on Twitter. Ferrari driver and fellow Spaniard Fernando Alonso, who won the F1 drivers championship in 2005 and 2006, said: "I just got home and found out Maria's accident, we called the family and hopefully we will know more soon! All my energy with you!" Jenson Button, who won the championship in 2009, said: "Terrible accident for Maria de Villota, Marussia F1 team test driver. "My thoughts are with Maria and her family at this very difficult time." Marussia entered the sport under the name Virgin in 2010, backed by businessman Richard Branson. Russian car company Marussia acquired a controlling stake in the team toward the end of 2011. In 2012, the team rebranded as Marussia, and drafted in Charles Pic to race alongside Glock. The team has not scored any points so far this season. Earlier, Marussia said on Twitter: "@mariavillota had her final seat-fitting & pedal test at our Banbury HQ & then headed north to the Imperial War Museum, ready to do battle." On Friday, it tweeted that De Villota "had been waiting patiently all year" for the Duxford test day. When she was unveiled as a test driver for Marussia in March, she said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to work closely with a Formula 1 team and gain important experience to help me progress my career, including the chance to drive the new car later in the year at the Abu Dhabi test." She added that the move "can only help my future ambition to step up to F1 racing". On Monday she wrote on Twitter: "In Banbury, getting ready for tomorrow test. Can't wait." The Cross Tay Link Road would cross the River Tay from west of the A9 and link with the A93 and A94 north of Scone. A report prepared for Perth and Kinross Council said it would pave the way for thousands of new jobs and relieve traffic congestion. The route has two-thirds of its funding in place, with the £35m shortfall part of a bid to the Tay Cities Deal. Council depute chief executive Jim Valentine's report to the local authority highlighted "increasing concern" about traffic congestion and air quality issues in and around Perth over the past 20 years. The report said that every £1 of capital invested in the Cross Tay Link Road would generate an estimated £4.30 of revenue. They said it could lead to £966m of private sector investment via new housing and employment. It added: "While a relatively simple low level crossing of the river will be the cost effective solution, more iconic structural designs have been considered." The council estimates the new route will be open to general traffic by 2022. Robert Blay was filmed by an undercover reporter speaking about Ranil Jayawardena. Mr Blay, who was standing in North East Hampshire, has been suspended by his party. Hampshire Police confirmed it was in contact with Mr Jayawardena. The Daily Mirror published a video of Mr Blay speaking at a public meeting addressed by UKIP leader Nigel Farage on Saturday in Ramsgate, Kent. Mr Blay, a former Conservative, noted that Mr Jayawardena had been tipped to be Britain's first Asian prime minister. The Mirror reported he said: "If he is, I will personally put a bullet between his eyes. If this lad turns up to be our prime minister I will personally put a bullet in him. That's how strong I feel about it." Nigel Farage said the comments were "stupid". Mr Jayawardena's campaign manager told BBC South that police had visited Mr Jayawardena's home as a precaution following the Mirror's report. Mr Jayawardena said: "I was shocked to hear about these comments and that someone who holds these views could have been selected as a UKIP candidate." He added he could not say anything further as Mr Blay's comments were "now a legal matter." Mr Blay has so far been unavailable for comment. Bulgarian Petrov, 37, made his comeback on Villa's pre-season tour of Austria, just over four years after being diagnosed with acute leukaemia. "It was really good to see him back out there," Bennett, 26, told BBC WM 95.6. "He's obviously been through a tough time and I've got a lot of respect for him and you can see, when he's out there, he can still play football." Former captain Petrov, who retired in May 2013, now has his sights set on making a professional return with the Championship club and has been building his fitness during pre-season with Villa. He played the second half in Villa's 8-0 friendly win over sixth-tier club GAK 1902 on Saturday. "He's still got it and I think Stan can play a big part for us this season," Bennett added. Following last season's dismal relegation from the Premier League, Villa are determined to get back into the top flight as soon as possible under new owner Tony Xia. New boss Roberto Di Matteo has already spent £3m on Bournemouth defender Tommy Elphick and has also completed deals for Reading youngster Aaron Tshibola and Italian goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini. And left-back Bennett, who joined Villa from Middlesbrough in August 2012, says there is a good vibe at Villa Park. "There's a lot of positivity around the club at the moment with the new manager and owner," said Bennett, who scored from two free-kicks in Saturday's victory. "We've got a few new players who are gelling well - I think the fans can look forward to a good season." Bennett made 25 appearances in his first season in the Premier League with Villa but only played five times the following campaign and spent 2014-15 on loan with Championship Brighton. He spent three months at Sheffield Wednesday last term but is now back hoping to force his way into Di Matteo's plans. "I want to prove to the manager I can play in this league," Bennett added. "Obviously there's competition with Jordan Amavi and Aly Cissokho - but you get that at any club and it pushes you to play better. "Promotion is the main aim - Aston Villa need to be in the Premier League." The side-effects of mefloquine, or Lariam, have been linked to severe depression and other mental illnesses. Conservative MP Johnny Mercer says he has received dozens of letters from service personnel claiming they have become affected since taking it. The MoD said mefloquine's use was based on expert advice, and it was widely used by civilians and military. Mefloquine is a once-a-week anti-malarial tablet for soldiers serving overseas. Mr Mercer, a former army officer and Afghanistan veteran, wants the government to stop prescribing it until further research has been carried out. He said: "I've had a letter about once or twice a week from not only constituents but people all over the UK who have suffered or know someone who has suffered, they believe, as a result of taking Lariam. "I just think we need to halt putting this drug out there for our guys and girls to use it until a proper study has been done, so that we know and more importantly our soldiers and their families know that this is a good defence against malaria and they can feel comfortable taking it." A document from a senior military medic seen by BBC Radio 4's Today programme said that given the mounting evidence, it would be more than reasonable for the government to prescribe an alternative until it was clear that mefloquine was safe. And Dr Ashley Croft, who served in the Royal Army Medical Corps for 27 years, has carried out two detailed pieces of research on mefloquine and believes around a third of those who take it suffer significant side-effects. He said: "If anybody was to ask me now should they take Lariam I would say definitely not - under no circumstances should you take Lariam to prevent malaria given that there are safer options available that will not cause you to run the risk." One senior British army officer, who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC he was suffering as a result of taking the medication. "Short-term, mefloquine robs you of sleep and proper rest and goes on to affect your ability to reason and to remain objective. That's particularly important for servicemen on operations or when working in life-threatening situations. "Longer-term, the effects manifested into clinical depression - something that is entirely new for me and which has a broad and devastating effect, especially on my family. "I believe firmly that the mefloquine I was given by the Army as an anti-malarial has induced lasting psychotropic effects, as I have never been affected by anything like this before. "As a once-proud officer and committed family man, I am now left struggling with depression, which is such a pervasive condition". There are a number of different types of tablets that protect against malaria. Mefloquine, or Larium, is one example. Others include doxycycline (Vibramycin-D) and atovaquone plus proguanil. Any medicine can have side effects and you may need to take a short trial course of tablets before you travel to check this. Ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist providing travel health services which type of tablets you and your family need. Dan was an army private who served two tours in Afghanistan. Soon after taking the drug he began having nightmares that were so terrifying he thought he was going mad. He is still having bad dreams and feeling anxious and paranoid three years later. He said: "The tablets were basically given to us like any other piece of equipment without any instructions or anything like that." Two years ago, the US's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave mefloquine its strongest "black box safety warning" to highlight potential neurological and psychiatric side-effects. But Dr Ron Behrens, a consultant advisor on tropical medicine to the Ministry of Defence, believes this was due to public anxiety rather than scientific evidence. Dr Behrens, of the London School of Tropical Medicine, said: "It is my view that some of the policy decisions are based on litigation and public concerns above the science, particularly in America." Manufacturer Roche said: "A recent regular safety assessment conducted by EU health authorities reinforced previous guidance that the benefits of Lariam outweigh the potential risk of the treatment." Mefloquine was banned from being given to US Special Forces in 2013, but in the UK it remains the drug of choice for military personnel in malarial areas. It is backed by Public Health England. The MoD has a stockpile of more than 11,500 packs of the drug, according to a parliamentary question and answer. There are those who believe that, if it were banned, sourcing an alternative would leave the military footing a hefty bill so there is an economic argument for continuing to use it. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "All our medical advice is based on the current guidelines set out by Public Health England. "Based on this expert advice, the MoD continues to prescribe mefloquine as part of the range of recommended malaria prevention treatments which help protect personnel from this life-threatening disease. "Mefloquine is used by civilians and military personnel throughout the world and we only ever prescribe it after an individual risk assessment." The 21 people worked for Ezubao, a peer-to-peer lender widely described in Chinese state media as a Ponzi scheme. Ezubao is believed to be China's largest such online financing business. State media said investigations had found more than 95% of the investment offerings on the site were fake. Chinese television broadcast apparent confessions by two former employees of the company, that was based in Anhui province. Ezubao was launched in 2014 by Ding Ning, the chairman of holding firm Yucheng Group. He was among those arrested, reports said. China's growing middle class has increasingly been attracted to online investment schemes as people seek to quickly increase their wealth. But authorities have been struggling to regulate the wealth management industry, estimated to be worth more than $2.5tn. A Ponzi scheme is much like a pyramid scheme and is viewed as a fraudulent investment operation that offers unusually high returns on short term investments. Some of that money pays fake returns to other investors. They are named after Boston fraudster Charles Ponzi who set up schemes in the US in the 1920s. In 2000 Noye, 70, was sentenced to life and told to serve at least 16 years for the murder of Stephen Cameron in 1996. Mr Cameron, 21, was stabbed in front of fiancee Danielle Cable, who was given a new identity and has been living under a witness protection scheme ever since. Jimmy Cable said her safety was more important than Noye's transfer. Noye is expected to be moved to an open prison within about six weeks after the justice secretary accepted a Parole Board recommendation that he be transferred to "open conditions". Mr Cable said he was angered by the decision. "Why give him [Noye] the opportunity to go in an open prison. He can have a day out and walk around. Why?" His daughter identified Noye after he fled to Spain and subsequently gave evidence at his trial. Mr Cable told BBC South East that her life had been destroyed. "If you take a life, you should serve life," he said. Profile: Kenneth Noye The electrician was stabbed to death on a slip road of the M25 at Swanley in Kent. Noye later claimed he killed Mr Cameron in self-defence during a road-rage fight. He went on the run after the killing, but was arrested in Spain in 1998 and was extradited back to the UK. Briton Fury, 27, beat the Ukrainian in Dusseldorf, Germany, on Saturday to take the WBA, IBF and WBO belts. The contract for the fight included a clause for a rematch, for which the date and the venue have to be decided. "Failure is not an option," said Klitschko, 39, on his prospects of winning back the titles. "I was really frustrated directly after the fight, but after some short nights, I now know that I am much better than my performance on Saturday. "I couldn't show much full potential at any time. This is what I want to change in the rematch, and I will." Klitschko has had two spells as world champion, the first from 2000 to 2003. Having regained the WBO belt in 2004, he went 11 years and 19 successful defences before losing to Fury. Manchester fighter Fury said on Sunday that he would beat Klitschko again if they were reunited in the ring next year. Fury's uncle and trainer Peter told BBC Radio Manchester it was "fantastic news" Klitschko had taken up the option. Media playback is not supported on this device He added: "We're definitely looking for a stoppage next time out - Tyson only performed to about 60% of his ability. He could have stopped Wlad. "We're looking at Wembley stadium in London, possibly mid-to-late May, and once Tyson gets rid of Klitschko then straight away we will be looking to Deontay Wilder to unify all of the belts." Unbeaten American Wilder holds the WBC version of the heavyweight title. BBC Radio 5 live boxing commentator Mike Costello: "Klitschko tweeted a couple of days ago how he was still suffering, and that sentiment explains why he has committed to the rematch only four days after his defeat. "The setback against Fury ended an unbeaten run for Klitschko stretching back 11 years and 22 fights. "At this stage there is no mention of a date or a venue for the return - they will decided with a view to maximising the purse for each boxer. "Although Klitschko turns 40 next March, the contest was the first of a new five-fight deal with German broadcaster RTL. "So, as he said on another online posting this week, the story will continue." The £3bn Race Bank and Dudgeon wind farms will provide enough power for 730,000 homes, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) said. A third proposed development, the Docking Shoal wind farm, has been refused over wildlife concerns. Minister of State for Energy Charles Hendry said the wind farms would create "significant investment and jobs". Race Bank, which will be developed by Centrica, and Dudgeon, created by Warwick Energy, will produce a combined total of more than 1GW of energy. Docking Shoal, also proposed by Centrica, was refused by the government because of its potential impact on sandwich tern seabirds in The Wash off the Norfolk coast, which are protected by environmental legislation. Mr Hendry said: "The UK is racing ahead of the global field and these two new offshore wind farms underline this momentum. "These two projects will not only bring us considerable amounts of clean energy but significant investment and jobs, too. "We have also shown that we are mindful of other consequences, such as the impact on bird populations, in deciding that it would not be appropriate to consent all three applications." In a statement, Centrica's managing director Mark Hanafin said obtaining consent for Race Bank was an "important milestone", adding the company would "undertake a thorough appraisal of its project costs, with a view to making a final investment decision on Race Bank early in 2013". He said investment remained dependant on the outcome of the government's renewable obligation banding review. Race Bank, off the coast of north Norfolk and Lincolnshire, would be connected via underground cable to the National Grid at an existing substation in Walpole, Norfolk. It would produce more than double the power of the 75-turbine Lincs wind farm being constructed nearby. Mark Petterson, project director for Warwick Energy, said the decision on the Dudgeon wind farm, off the Norfolk coast at Cromer, was a "major step forward for the project, the offshore wind industry and for the UK economy". Mr Petterson said the wind farm, which would contain about 100 turbines, would create up to 100 long-term jobs. He added the company hoped to receive consent for an onshore substation soon so construction could begin next year. The refused Docking Shoal wind farm would have been built next to Race Bank, Centrica said. A spokesman said it had not yet decided whether it would appeal against the DECC's decision. Richard Powell, regional director for the National Trust, welcomed the decision to reject Docking Shoal, stating it was a "good day for north Norfolk's important sandwich tern population". "Although we support renewable energy sources in the appropriate place, we had deep concerns about the cumulative number of bird strikes that could have been caused by all three arrays going forward," Mr Powell added. The German Football Association (DFB) said there was "no evidence of betting manipulation" and the 37-year-old had not bet on his own side's matches. But its rules do not allow players to gamble, or use a third party to do so. The DFB said the bets, made between 26 August and 11 September, included nine on games in the German second division. It said the sums wagered were "almost all three figures" and had been placed with an internet betting company. "Of course that was a big mistake," Olic said in a statement released through his club. "It was not about large sums of money, but simply to have fun. I'm very sorry for what has happened." In the same statement, 1860 Munich said they would "respond accordingly" to the ruling by also imposing "a large fine". Olic, Croatia's fourth most-capped player, joined the Bundesliga 2 club on a one-year deal in July after leaving Hamburg. He is currently sidelined after picking up a knee injury in a 2-0 defeat by Wurzburger Kickers on 2 October - a result that leaves his side 14th in the table, fourth from bottom. The authority said the project had been planned since January but the Grenfell Tower fire last week which killed at least 79 people had given the plans more significance. There will be improvements to fire alarms and CCTV will also be installed. Councillor Randy Conteh, cabinet member for housing, communities and safer city, said weekly fire checks at council properties will be doubled. More updates on this story Many people were left homeless after the fire engulfed the North Kensington tower last Wednesday. A sprinkler system had not been fitted inside the building. Regulations in England mean that only buildings constructed since 2007 and which are taller than 30m are required to have sprinklers fitted. The chief executive of Kensington and Chelsea council has now resigned amid criticism over the borough's response. Mr Conteh said all authority-owned buildings were compliant with current fire and safety regulations. A 30-year plan has been announced to ensure all properties are "fully safety compliant, exceed fire regulations and provide quality accommodation for residents". "It's extremely positive to be able to make this announcement to benefit tenants in Stoke-on-Trent," he said. "It's sadly all the more poignant to be able to make it at this point in time, when sensitivities are clearly heightened by the tragic events in London and tenants are rightly seeking reassurances." Seven-day hospital services will also be extended to "half the country" by 2018 and the whole of England by 2020. Mr Cameron made the announcement as the Conservatives gathered in Manchester for their annual conference. The GPs' union has warned a recruitment crisis is making plans for seven-day working "unrealistic". Mr Cameron's comments came as the government denied pressuring officials behind the scenes to delay the publication of figures which show the financial performance of the NHS. A report in the Observer claimed officials at Monitor and another NHS regulator were leaned on to delay financial and other performance figures such as treatment waiting times in order to avoid embarrassment at the Conservative conference, which is taking place this week. Health officials have said the data will be published shortly. On the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Cameron insisted a seven-day-a-week NHS was "a really exciting prospect". He said: "We said that we are going to have to make difficult decisions elsewhere, but the NHS will not just be protected. "It's getting an extra £10bn of money during this Parliament, over and above inflation, and that enables us to meet some really clear goals. "Parents and people in our country want to access the NHS on a seven-day basis. "Let me be clear, this doesn't mean that all staff in the NHS have to work every seven days, it just means the services are available. "So, I can announce today that we will be publishing a new GP contract to get rid of the box-ticking and the form-filling." The new contract for GPs will be voluntary, with family doctors able to decide whether they want to join forces with neighbouring GPs to form federations and networks of practices delivering seven-day care to populations of at least 30,000 patients. Grouping GPs together in federations or networks will allow them to deliver better integrated care, the prime minister argues. They will also be able to work more closely with community nurses, hospital specialists, pharmacists and other health and care professionals, he added. Trials of seven-day GP access have already begun, with 18 million patients getting extended availability by March this year. But a recent survey found practices in some areas had scaled back weekend opening due to limited demand. And GPs' union the Royal College of General Practitioners has warned that seven day opening in England is unachievable in this Parliament and risks destabilising care. Conservative sources said the voluntary GPs contract will be funded from the additional £10bn of NHS investment promised by the prime minister over the course of the Parliament. Labour's Jonathan Ashworth said: "You can't trust [David Cameron's] promises on a seven day NHS - he has made them before but hasn't delivered. "What the Tories have done is take the health service backwards - under them it is harder to see your GP and waiting lists are higher." The rights group says that the ban is pushing women into unsafe, clandestine abortions or forcing them to undergo dangerous pregnancies. The constitution in the majority Roman Catholic country protects the right to life "from the moment of conception". Women and girls who violate the ban face lengthy jail sentences. Under El Salvador's homicide laws, women who decide to terminate their pregnancy can be sentenced to up to 50 years in prison. "The horrific repression that women and girls in El Salvador face is truly shocking and akin to torture," says Amnesty International. "Shockingly, the ban extends even to cases where the life of the pregnant woman is at risk, and to children who have been raped," it adds. In May last year, a seriously ill 22-year-old woman was denied an abortion by El Salvador's Supreme Court. The woman, referred to as Beatriz, suffered from lupus and kidney failure. The foetus had serious medical problems. The Supreme Court upheld the Central American's nation ban, in a case that drew international attention. A week later, doctors decided to go ahead with a premature Caesarean section, after the woman started having contractions. The baby died five hours after the C-section. Health Minister Maria Isabel Rodriguez said at the time that the medical intervention did not contravene the court ruling. Amnesty International is calling on the government of El Salvador to decriminalise abortion on all counts. El Salvador is one of seven Latin American countries where there is a total ban on abortion. The others are Chile, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua and Suriname. The task was copied and pasted from the internet but not checked before being given to a year-two class at Bishop King CE Primary School in Lincoln. Kate Rouse, the school's head teacher, said the homework "wasn't appropriate" to give to the children. However, she said it was a genuine mistake and no further action would be taken against the teacher involved. It was titled "25 Day Handwriting Challenge" and asked children to "Handwrite what pisses you off". "This member of staff is new to the school and naturally she is very upset about the situation," she said. "As head teacher I will support all my staff and on this occasion that is no different and I will continue to do so." The 25 Day Handwriting Challenge appears on several websites, although the original task appears to be aimed at teenagers or adults. More child-friendly tasks include "Handwrite your favorite [sic] month of the year" and "Handwrite what color [sic] shirt your [sic] wearing right now". Parent Jay McCulley told the Lincolnshire Echo he was "devastated and shocked" when he noticed the rude word, and his partner Jade Dixon "went absolutely mad". However, parents speaking to BBC Radio Lincolnshire seemed ambivalent. One mother said: "I was a bit shocked. Luckily enough she didn't read that much of it. She was so young she didn't quite understand it." Another mother said: "I thought it was a joke. I haven't actually said anything to the teachers, I've not had a chance, but it's a mistake; mistakes happen I guess." Another mother added: "The homework probably should be checked but I do think there is too much pressure on teachers. "They have an awful lot to contend with and I must be honest, most of the teachers, in fact all of the teachers and the staff at this school have been, and are, fantastic." Chris Wood was the UKIP group leader at Hampshire County Council but said the party had become "thoroughly embarrassing". He said his decision followed the resignation of UKIP leader Diane James. UKIP has called for him to formally resign his seat and allow a by-election to take place. Mr Wood, who is also a Fareham borough councillor, said an altercation between UKIP MEPs Mike Hookham and Steven Woolfe, which landed Mr Woolfe in hospital last week, had also led to his defection. He added UKIP had also become "toxified over the past 18 months through comments about HIV and AIDS". "It's become thoroughly embarrassing and just something that I can't defend anymore," he said. "For those of us in local government - who joined the party to leave the European Union and to help our local residents - what is the purpose anymore? "I don't do opposition for opposition's sake. Theresa May is delivering on Brexit and locally the Conservative Party are investing hugely in my local area, for example the Stubbington by-pass. He said he was "more than happy" to be joining the Tories - a party he was previously a member of about six years ago. Leader of Fareham Borough Council Sean Woodward said he was "delighted" to welcome Mr Wood back to the Conservative Party. A UKIP spokesman said the party was "saddened" by Mr Wood's decision. "We believe that, as a former UKIP councillor and as somebody who has in the past supported the concept of Recall, he should formally resign his seat and offer himself up to his electorate in a by-election. "After all he was elected as a UKIP councillor, most likely on the basis of his party affiliation, rather [than] his undoubted abilities".

The remains of three skeletons were found inside Rosslyn Chapel when work to the heating system required floor slabs to be lifted. Radiocarbon dating of two of the skeletons indicates they could have been buried in the mid-15th Century. They were possibly buried at about the same time the chapel was constructed. It is thought the skeletons were male and that at least one of them had undertaken heavy or repeated physical activity, with well-developed bone surfaces at the sites of muscle insertions. Bones that had previously been disturbed were also found in the chapel precinct, with these dated back to between the 15th and 17th centuries. These were thought to be the remains of an adult male. The AOC Archaeology Group in Midlothian carried out the excavation and analysis of the bones for the Rosslyn Chapel Trust, with the bones then prepared for reburial in line with guidance from Historic Environment Scotland. Lindsay Dunbar, fieldwork project manager at AOC Archaeology Group, said: "Opportunities to work at such a world-famous and iconic monument as Rosslyn Chapel come along rarely, so it was with great anticipation that AOC undertook the archaeological monitoring during the construction of the new visitor centre and works at the chapel. "The discovery of both disturbed and in situ burials was especially exciting given the limited amount of excavation necessary within the chapel to complete the conservation works. "AOC was allowed ample time to complete the full excavation of the burials and the good preservation of the human bone allowed full osteoarchaeological analysis to be completed. "Whilst it is unlikely that the burials represent the clergy, it is clear that to occupy such a space within such a small chapel means that these burials are of people important to the chapel." Ian Gardner, director of the Rosslyn Chapel Trust, said: "The analysis provides valuable information about the age of the remains but, inevitably, questions remain unanswered about the identity of these men and their roles here. "Today's ceremony to reinter the remains was simple but a very fitting way to return them to Rosslyn Chapel." The Rosslyn Chapel featured in Dan Brown's best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. Jones and Dagnall were dismissed after an unseemly first-half tussle, with Dagnall catching Jones as he chased a through ball, with both players ending up sprawled in combat on the edge of the box. Dagnall was shown two yellow cards by referee Darren England, while the injured Jones was issued a straight red and carried off on a stretcher. Matt Godden had given Stevenage an early lead, the striker latching onto a short throw-in and volleying neatly into the far corner after his first effort was blocked by George Ray. But Crewe - who could boast back-to-back home wins and a point on their travels from their last three outings - demonstrated their improvement under new boss Dave Artell as they piled on the pressure. Jordan Bowery drove wide and defender Ben Nugent failed to get a close-range effort on target, instead helping the ball out of the Stevenage box. Jon Guthrie then volleyed wide after Callum Cooke's blast was blocked. The game erupted between Dagnall and Jones in the 25th minute, with veteran keeper Chris Day coming off the bench to go between the posts for Boro. Stevenage were undeterred as they doubled their lead in the 36th minute when defender Fraser Franks headed home after Luke Wilkinson had nodded the ball back across the box. James Jones halved the deficit when he fired home from the spot in the 71st minute after Wilkinson tripped George Cooper but Stevenage held on for an eighth league success on their travels.

He has won three promotions with the side since joining from Colwyn Bay. "This has been in the offing for a while now and I'm delighted to get it sorted. I always wanted my future to be here," Challinor said. The National League North champions have already signed six players this summer, with the new season starting in August. John and Lynette Rodgers died on a beach at Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape on Friday 24 October. A joint funeral is to be held for the couple at First Holywood Presbyterian Church in Holywood, County Down, where they were married two weeks ago. The ceremony is due to take place on the morning of Monday, 2 November. Mrs Rodgers, 26, was a physiotherapist from Holywood. Her 28-year-old husband was originally from Ballygowan, County Down, and worked for a printing company in Holywood. Following a 3-0 win over hosts VFL Osnabruck earlier in the afternoon, Lex Immers gave Cardiff the lead against St Pauli. Maurice Litka equalised for but Lasse Sobiech's own goal before the break sealed victory for Cardiff. Frederic Gounongbe, Declan John and Anthony Pilkington scored in the win over Osnabruck. Summer signing Gounongbe headed Cardiff in front from Fabio's cross during the first half of a game played over two periods of 30 minutes. Second half goals from Wales international John and Pilkington sealed victory. But protesters remain at the sites in Central district and Mong Kok, and police said their action was aimed at easing traffic, not ending protests. The protesters, calling for full democracy, have occupied parts of Hong Kong for more than two weeks. China has agreed to direct elections for Hong Kong's leader in 2017 but wants to control who can stand. Protesters say this is not democracy. The early days of the protests saw huge numbers attend nightly rallies. At the end of last month tensions escalated after police used tear gas and baton charges on protestors. Since then, there has been no use of force and police presence has been minimal. In recent days numbers on the streets have dropped but small groups, some sleeping in tents, remain at the three sites at Mong Kok, at Causeway Bay and in Central, around government offices. On Monday during the operations in Central and Mong Kok, police wore high-visibility jackets but no riot gear. "Today we haven't come to clear the area," one police officer told protesters, the Associated Press reports. "We just want to clear the barricades blocking the road and take back the government's tools and other property." The police action came a day after Hong Kong's leader CY Leung stressed that Beijing would not change its mind on reforms despite the protests. He did not rule out the use of force to end the demonstrations. "We've resorted to all kinds of persuasions... We absolutely would not prefer clearing the venue, but if one day the venue has to be cleared, I believe the police will use their professional judgement and training using minimum amount of force," he said. Mr Leung again ruled out resigning and said that the protest movement had "lost control". Mr Leung's government called off talks with protesters a day before they were to take place last week, saying students' refusal to end their campaign had made "constructive dialogue" impossible. His new album, Blackstar, reached number one, selling almost 150,000 copies since its release last week. It had already been on course to top the charts before news of his death was announced on Monday, said the Official Charts Company. Thirteen Bowie tracks also entered the top 100, led by Heroes at number 12. The song, which originally peaked at 24 in 1977, is joined in the top 40 by Life On Mars, Starman, Let's Dance and Space Oddity. In total, Bowie sold 241,000 albums and 167,000 singles over the course of the week, while his songs were streamed more than 19 million times on services like Apple Music and Spotify, which said streams jumped by 2,822% following news of his death. The star accounts for 25% of this week's Top 40, with the best-sellers including greatest hits collections Nothing Has Changed and Best Of 1969/1974. Hunky Dory was the most popular of the Bowie's classic albums, charting at 14. The 1971 record includes the singles Life on Mars and Changes, as well as Kooks, an ode to Bowie's son whose lyrics went viral earlier this week. BBC 6 Music is celebrating the music of David Bowie this weekend with specials from Steve Lamacq and Adam Buxton. Elsewhere, Justin Bieber maintained his grip on the top five singles, with his Ed Sheeran-penned ballad Love Yourself spending a sixth week at the top. His previous singles Sorry and What Do You Mean each slipped one place - to three and four respectively - pushed down by Shawn Mendes' new single Stitches. The top five was rounded off by Sigala's dance track Sweet Lovin', up from number eight last week. Elsewhere, Little Mix scored their 13th top 40 hit with Secret Love Song a duet with US singer Jason Derulo, which entered the chart at 34; while Craig David's career comeback continues apace, as the grime collaboration When The Bassline Drops, featuring Big Narstie, climbs 21 places to Number 15. In doing so, it gives the British singer his first top 20 single since 2007's Hot Stuff (Let's Dance). In the album chart, Elvis Presley holds firm at number two with If I Can Dream, featuring orchestral arrangements of his biggest hits. Adele's 25 fell to number three, giving up the top spot for the first time since its release last November. Justin Bieber's Purpose is at four, while Stevie McCrorie - who won last year's edition of The Voice UK - scores a new entry at 35 with his first post-victory release, Big World. Watch a special tribute programme David Bowie: Sound and Vision on the BBC iPlayer A Mercedes hit cables and conductors in the city centre, with a man, 32, arrested on suspicion of drink driving. The incident happened early Sunday morning with an electrical box catching fire after being hit. A Western Power Distribution spokesman said power to most homes was restored within five minutes. The midfielder is doubtful with a hamstring injury sustained five minutes from the end of Saturday's Premiership defeat by Crusaders at Seaview. The 29-year-old is the club's second top scorer this season, having notched 18 goals, 12 of those from penalties and four from free-kicks. Kane joined Ballymena from Cliftonville in 2011 and can play at right back. Only striker Cathair Friel, with 19 goals, has found the net more often for United than Kane. Both Ballymena and Carrick are looking to win the League Cup for the first time in their history and the clubs are meeting in a domestic decider for the first time since the 1984 Irish Cup final, which Ballymena won 4-1. United have picked up the County Antrim Shield twice in recent years, but were losing finalists in the 2014 Irish Cup final and the 2015 League Cup decider. Carrick last picked up senior silverware in the 1992-93 season, when they collected the County Antrim Shield. Ballymena manager David Jeffrey won the League Cup six times during his time as manager of Linfield. Ballymena reached the final by beating Newington YC, Linfield, Warrenpoint Town and Coleraine while Carrick accounted for Ballyclare Comrades, Armagh City, Dungannon Swifts and Glenavon. The FTSE 100 rose 32.94 points to 7,410.67. Anglo American shares added 4% and Antofagasta was up 2.3%. Top riser was media group Informa, which rose 6.8% after it posted a 40% rise in half-year revenues thanks to its global exhibitions business. Virgin Money shares fell 8% after it warned on the UK housing market. The FTSE 250-listed bank said that while the market should remain "resilient", there could be some "areas of weakness to be navigated" in the short term. Its comments overshadowed news of 26% rise in half-year underlying profits to £128.6m. Domino's Pizza Group fell nearly 7% after the company reported a slowdown in its sales growth. Half-year pre-tax profits rose 9% to £44.6m, but UK like-for-like sales growth slowed to 2.4% from 13% a year earlier. Acacia Mining shares were down a further 11% as investors reacted to news that the company had been handed a $190bn bill for unpaid taxes and penalties from Tanzania. The company has been accused of under-reporting export revenues, which Acacia denies. On the currency markets, the pound was unchanged against the dollar at $1.3025, and down 0,1% against the euro at 1.1179 euros. Professor Richard Wyn Jones said Welsh ministers must slay "sacred cows" like Communities First and said having a coalition would be "crucial". He argued the full replacement of EU aid to Wales was not a "realistic prospect". The Welsh Government says it is working "intensively" with its UK counterpart. In the wake of the referendum vote, which saw Wales back Brexit together with England, Carwyn Jones has called for the funding Wales gets from the EU to be safeguarded. Prof Jones, who spoke to BBC Wales after he criticised the Welsh Government's referendum reaction in a debate at the National Eisteddfod on Brexit, said he understood ministers were in a "very difficult position" after voters rejected their call for a Remain vote. The Cardiff University Wales Governance Centre academic said the Welsh Government's negotiating hand with the UK government was "much weaker than the Scottish and Northern Irish governments. "That said, there seems to be a kind of lethargic reaction, almost a kind of business as usual reaction. I think it lacks reality," he said. He said there was a "serious crisis for Welsh public finances" with Wales a "major net beneficiary of EU money". "They seem to be proceeding as if telling London we just want to keep the same amount of money coming to Wales is a realistic prospect," he said. "It clearly isn't, not least because the economy may well contract and there will be less money generally." Calling for a fundamental rethink in the way public policy is done in Wales, Prof Jones said some schemes looked "unaffordable in this new context". "Some sacred cows have to be slain," he said, citing Communities First - a Welsh Government programme aimed at tackling poverty - which he called a "failure" during the debate. Prof Jones said: "I think most people who look at this know that the delivery over years has not matched the aspirations. "Is that the best way of helping these communities? Probably not." "I think we need to build a sustainable stable government in Wales, which is actually willing to make some hard decisions," Prof Jones added. He told the discussion at the Eisteddfod that a coalition government in the wake of the vote was "crucial". A Welsh Government spokesman said: "On Brexit, the first minister and cabinet are committed to getting the best outcomes for Wales and make no apology for doing so. "This includes seeking a cast iron commitment that Wales will not lose a penny of the EU money budgeted to us in the period up to 2020. "It seems a little surprising that anyone who prioritises Wales' interests should argue against that aim." The spokesman said the government was "working intensively" with the UK and other devolved governments across "wide policy areas". "All this work is being taken forward while continuing to maximise delivery of the existing EU programmes in a calm and consistent way - to do otherwise would be letting down the people who benefit from them," he said. Bodycam footage shows a confrontation between Atherstone Hunt members and West Midlands Hunt Saboteurs in Leicestershire, on Saturday. A thud is heard, followed by a scream, and a woman is then seen clutching her head. She was later treated in hospital, the saboteur group said. A man was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm. More on this story and other news in Leicestershire He has since been released on bail. The Atherstone Hunt said it was co-operating with the police and all available video footage has been handed to them. The animal rights group said they were tracking the hunt in Derby Road, Shackerstone, when the "unprovoked attack" took place. The clip shows two female saboteurs walking alongside several hunt members on horseback, on a footbridge. Angry exchanges are heard and then a thud, before a woman screams out. A male rider then denies having done anything. The group said she was taken to hospital to have her head "glued back together". The video also shows a saboteur being spat and sworn at after he confronts a man about what had happened earlier. Leicestershire Police said: "One man has been arrested on suspicion of ABH following a report of an assault which is alleged to have happened in Derby Road, Shackerstone, on Saturday February 11. "He has been bailed pending further enquiries." The Environment Department says the contract has not yet been signed, but it will see the States buying a new fleet of buses over a number of years. The five-and-a-half year contract went out to tender six months ago. CT Plus already runs the island's scheduled bus service and claims the new contract will see a number of improvements. Dai Powell, CEO of parent company HCT Group, said there would be better online information, including real-time data on bus movements through an App. He said the new terms will also see improvements to the service itself and increased training for the staff to help them deal with the specific needs of islanders. "We are still in discussions with the States and therefore at this stage we are unable to go into great detail, but we are excited about the possibilities of taking the bus service in Guernsey to the next level," he said. Environment Department Minister Yvonne Burford said she had received assurances CT Plus would deliver according to the improved terms of service. No details have been released about how the States intend to provide or pay for a bus depot. Andrew Conway and Ronan O'Mahony scored two tries apiece, with Robin Copeland, Darren O'Shea and Alex Wootton also crossing for the Irish province. Tyler Bleyendaal kicked a penalty and three conversions for Munster, with Ian Keatley also adding a conversion. Ian McKinley's early penalty proved to be Treviso's only score of the match. With man-of-the-match Bleyendaal pulling the strings from fly-half in freezing temperatures, Munster led 22-3 at half-time. The hosts took a while to settle, former Leinster fly-half McKinley booting Treviso into an eighth-minute lead before Bleyendaal responded on the quarter-hour mark. A terrific five-metre scrum saw Munster march Treviso back over their line for number eight Copeland to touch down in the 20th minute, with Bleyendaal converting for 10-3. The New Zealander increased his influence with a well-weighted chip through, O'Mahony raced up to pressurise the Treviso cover and the onrushing Conway pounced on the loose ball for an unconverted try. Darren Sweetnam did well to thwart Michael Tagicakibau from McKinley's dangerous cross-field kick, before Munster extended their lead to 19 points with a brilliantly worked 34th-minute try from inside their own half. Bleyendaal's deft kick pass found O'Mahony, at full tilt, and he did well to link with the supporting Conway who sped along the left touchline for a classy seven-pointer. O'Shea's first Pro12 try, barely two minutes after the restart, saw him charge onto a Bleyendaal pass and he proved unstoppable from close range. The Kiwi threaded the difficult conversion through the posts for good measure. Without a large number of players through international call-ups and injuries, Treviso continued to struggle at set-piece time and could not penetrate a solid Munster defence, which was typified by young debutant centre Sam Arnold. The game lulled along with Munster guilty of poor discipline, before O'Mahony made it over in the corner in the 64th minute after an initial maul had been held up. Wootton made an immediate impact off the bench, and the Ireland Sevens international rounded his man for the second time to notch a deserved try, converted by Ian Keatley. Munster could have had a couple more scores late on, but they did register a seventh of the afternoon when Copeland used lineout ball to break to the blindside and feed O'Mahony for another crisp finish.

The education watchdog warns of a "one-size fits all" model in England which leaves behind young people who do not succeed in exams. Better vocational training would reduce youth unemployment, says Sir Michael. "We simply have to improve the quality of our technical provision," insists the Ofsted chief. Sir Michael says that complaints about the quality of vocational education have been made for 50 years, but without sufficient improvement "I can almost sense eyes glazing over when I say this," he says. But he argues that it is a "moral imperative as well as an economic one that we do something now to change direction". Sir Michael says there must not be another "false dawn" in improving vocational options and "the country cannot continue to fail half its future". He warns that vocational training should not be a "dumping ground for the disaffected and cater just for the lower-ability youngsters". The Ofsted chief says that some European countries, such as Germany and Switzerland, had lower youth unemployment rates because of a better training system. This reflects a recent survey from City and Guilds that showed how the most developed vocational systems were linked to better rates of youth employment. At present, Sir Michael says the education system in England does not offer enough opportunities for those who do not succeed at GCSEs. "The statistics show that those who fail to achieve the required grades in maths and English at 16 make little or no progress in further education colleges two years later," says the Ofsted head. "Preparation for employment remains poor and careers guidance in both schools and colleges is uniformly weak." Sir Michael's speech, responding to the Centre Forum think tank proposals to raise standards, also raises the question of who is responsible for the oversight of schools when some are academies, under the scrutiny of regional schools commissioners, and others the responsibility of local authorities. He accuses the current system of being "confusing and ill-defined". But Sir Michael says such problems are within the context of a school system that had greatly improved. "People forget how bad things were in the miserable decades of the 70s, 80s and 90s," he says. "They forget how many children were failed by political neglect, misguided ideologies, weak accountability and low expectations. "They forget how local authorities failed to challenge and support head teachers. They forget how much they conceded to vested interests and how infrequently they championed the rights of children to a decent education." The plane in question is an Airbus A319 that, at the end of October, became the first jet to bear the colours of Europe's newest carrier: Air Serbia. As the applause of the guests echoed round the hangar at Nikola Tesla airport in Belgrade, two men looked on in mutual satisfaction - Serbian First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic and James Hogan, chief executive of Etihad Airlines. This was a rebirth moment - with a new national carrier rising from what was left of the once-proud Yugoslav airline, Jat. And it was also the latest example of how a still-juvenile Gulf carrier (Etihad was only established in 2003) is shaking up the airline industry. Before the violent break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, Jat had prided itself on being among the most stylish and modern operations in Europe. But by this year its elderly fleet of Boeing 737s appealed only to those with a taste for planes with a patina, period typefaces and ashtrays in the armrests. Service was gruff, and there was no on-board alcohol to soften the blow of the often unpredictable departure times. The airline's finances were correspondingly dire - and with Serbia's public funds in no state to support Jat any further, it seemed the end was nigh. Etihad's entrance was timed to perfection. It took a 49% stake in Jat in August - and signed a five-year contract to manage the new Air Serbia. Mr Vucic is candid about how the Abu Dhabi-based carrier became involved. "Sheikh Mohammed is my friend and I asked him to help," he told the BBC. But the relationship between the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and Serbia's most powerful politician does not by itself explain why one of the world's fastest-growing airlines became involved with a "legacy" carrier on its last legs. "Etihad's ability to make investments like this is unique," says Douglas McNeill, an aviation expert at Charles Stanley stockbrokers. "It's a compliment in a way that they've gone for Air Serbia. There's no shortage of weak airlines they could have gone for - like TAP in Portugal or LOT in Poland. There are lots of competing opportunities." Mr Hogan is not known for a sense of charity towards failing businesses. But he does have a track record of improving the fortunes of airlines. He turned around Gulf Air before joining Etihad in 2006 and overseeing a spectacular rise in both profile and business. He told the BBC that he saw Air Serbia as a key component in Etihad's further growth. "We have a different business model," he says. "We have demonstrated through our different aviation investments that we are creating a global airline - it's about connectivity." Unusually, Etihad is not making its connections by joining a global airline alliance such as One World or Star Alliance, but by buying stakes in other carriers. At 49%, the Air Serbia deal is the largest, but Etihad also owns considerable stakes in Air Berlin, Air Seychelles and Virgin Australia, as well as a small proportion of Aer Lingus shares. Just this week, India's government gave the green light to Etihad snapping up a quarter of the country's largest carrier, Jet Airways. For Mr Hogan, the attraction of adding Air Serbia to this "equity alliance" was obvious. "The Balkans as a crossroads of the world has huge opportunity. The tourism business opportunity of the region is considerable - and we're going to be very well positioned to take advantage of that," he says. "There are not only the Balkan and European markets, but with Air Berlin we can connect with the US - and with Etihad over Abu Dhabi we connect with not only Australia but the Middle East and South East Asia. We can position Belgrade as the gateway to the Balkans. We're very bullish." Mr McNeill is rather more cautious about the Etihad approach. "The risk is that you end up with a collection of minority stakes - and if you don't have control you don't have anything. It's a questionable strategy." Etihad points out that it has been successful in co-ordinating operations and consolidating costs. Air Berlin has ordered the same kind of aircraft as Etihad - right down to the interior fittings and details. And Mr Hogan says that Air Serbia will follow along similar lines, moving many of its operations to Abu Dhabi to avoid duplication. Balkan airline industry analysts have seen the potential for an Etihad-powered Air Serbia to fill a potentially lucrative gap in the region. The recently formed Association of Serbian Aerospace Professionals noted that there was a dearth of heavyweight carriers, which had left Turkish Airlines and the Lufthansa group to mop up on long-haul travel. An Air Serbia-Etihad-Air Berlin combination may provide competition on many popular routes. Meanwhile, other carriers in the region are still facing the kind of financial struggles that afflicted the post-Yugoslavia Jat. Croatia Airlines is actively looking for a partner, while the national airlines of Bosnia and Montenegro have been in difficulties. Hungary's national carrier, Malev, went out of business last year. A putative replacement, Solyom, has yet to get off the ground, despite rumours of investment from the Middle East. So there is clear potential for Air Serbia to take advantage if it can get its act together. And Etihad is confident that with its management team in place, the new carrier will quickly turn a profit, pointing to its previous success with Air Seychelles. Now the question is: what next for the most acquisitive of the Gulf carriers? Mr McNeill suggests the next logical step might be to acquire a stake in a mainland African airline. Then Etihad's global equity alliance would cover most of the world - and make it a formidable player in the airline industry. It was addressed to "Marconi Operator, RMS Titanic" and stamped on 11 April 1912 - the day after the ill-fated ship set sail from Southampton. What the parcel originally contained is unknown, but it is believed to have missed the sailing by a few hours. A spokesman for the auctioneers said there had been a lot of interest in what was "a piece of history". An internet bidder from the UK eventually paid £3,100 ($4740) for the label, after John Nicholson's Auctioneers in Fernhurst, West Sussex, opened bidding at £50 ($764). The parcel was sent by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company in Chelmsford to the radio operator of the White Star liner. Unsuccessful bidders included a group hoping to turn the old Marconi building in Hall Street, Chelmsford, into a museum. The auctioneer's spokesman said the item was of interest to both Titanic and Marconi enthusiasts. "It's a pleasing result - it's got the story behind it, the only thing we don't know is what was in the parcel". Also included in the lot were photographs of Marconi telegraph operator, Alec Bagot, and the telegraph equipment from on board Titanic's sister ship RMS Olympic. The label was given to the vendor's mother, who lived in Southampton, by the first officer of the Olympic. Its 12.7ft (3.9m) diameter has won it a place in the Guinness World Records as the "most slender tower". The structure, which is due to open this summer, stands 531ft (162m) high. John Roberts, chief engineer and director of the British Airways i360, said the tower's height-to-width aspect ratio of 41.15-to-one beat those of The Shard and the BT Tower in London. He said the Shard had an aspect ratio of six-to-one, and the BT Tower had an aspect ratio of eight-to-one. The tower had used "groundbreaking engineering", he said.

Architects David Marks and Julia Barfield, who also designed the London Eye, said the i360 built on the design, engineering, technology and innovation behind London's big wheel, taking it to "new heights". Mr Roberts said the team had not set out to design the project with the aim of achieving a world record; they had just wanted to build a very slender tower. He said people might think the main challenge was carrying the weight of the 94-tonne pod with 200 passengers on board weighing about 16 tonnes. But he said: "Amazingly, that's not really the problem of designing the tower. The tower is all about one thing - making it stand up safely in extremely strong winds." He said Storm Imogen recently brought windspeeds on Brighton beach of about 75mph, but the tower could withstand windspeeds of more than 100mph. "There's absolutely no way this tower is going to fall over," he said. The pod, made of 24 segments of handmade glass, will rise up to 137m (450ft) in front of the city's West Pier. It will give visitors views of up to 26 miles along the Sussex coast from Bexhill to Chichester. Homemade alcohol is popular in central Kenya, where many people cannot afford to buy commercial alcohol. President Uhuru Kenyatta said many men in the area are "addicted" to what is sometimes called ''killer brew''. The government has revoked all licences for bars and other outlets selling home brew, which can be laced with methanol. The operation started in Kiambu county, where home brew has destroyed families, made men impotent and led to many deaths, reports BBC East Africa editor Caroline Karobia. Last year, some 70 people were killed in the area. There have been demonstrations by women from the affected areas asking the government to take action. After the four-day operation, the team will report to President Kenyatta to assess the progress being made. Latest African news updates Antonis Samaras added: "We Greeks are one with our history and civilisation, which cannot be broken up, loaned out, or conceded." He said Britain's view that the marbles could not be moved was now invalid. A depiction of the river god Ilissos is going on show in St Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum. It is due to remain on display in the Russian city until mid-January. The work is one of a number of relics acquired by Lord Elgin in Athens in the early 19th Century, now known collectively as the Elgin Marbles. Ownership of the artefacts, once part of the 2,500-year-old Parthenon temple, is disputed by Greece. It maintains that Lord Elgin removed them illegally while the country was under Turkish occupation as part of the Ottoman Empire. The items have remained in the British Museum ever since. Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum, said it was a "very big moment". He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "This is the first time ever that the people of Russia have been able to see this great moment of European art and European thought." 2,500 years old 1816 year acquired by the British Museum British Museum collection includes: 247ft of the original 524ft frieze 15 of 92 metopes (marble panels) 17 figures Mr MacGregor added that he hoped the Greek government would be "delighted". "I hope that they'll be very pleased that a huge new public can engage with the great achievements of ancient Greece. People who will never be able to come to Athens or to London will now here in Russia understand something of the great achievements of Greek civilisation." Asked whether the marbles would be loaned to Greece if it promised to give them back, he said the museum was willing to lend anything in the collection provided it was fit for travel and if it was going a place where it would be safe and from where it would be returned. The Greek government, he added, had to date not asked to borrow them. Mr Samaris also said in his statement: "The British argument held until recently - that the Parthenon Marbles cannot be moved - is no longer valid, just as the existence of the new Acropolis Museum invalidated the other British argument that there was no appropriate space for exhibiting the sculptures. "The Parthenon and its Marbles have been looted. The sculptures are priceless." Analysis - Trevor Timpson, BBC News The statue of Ilissos, with its beautifully carved drapery suggesting river water, is one of the sculptures which adorned the triangular ends (the pediments) of the Parthenon. The British Museum was willing to send it to the Hermitage for its 250th anniversary, but sent nothing to the new Acropolis museum in Athens, where places are reserved for Ilissos and all the other missing sculptures. British Museum director Neil MacGregor must have been on tenterhooks when it disappeared from show, in case anyone asked what "display" it was being prepared for. Sending it in secret to Russia was a nifty piece of footwork. Equally nifty would be if the Greeks could persuade Mr Putin to "return" it - but to Athens, not London. Mr MacGregor says he is willing to start a dialogue with the Greeks about loans of this kind - and the idea of a permanent loan (of the whole Elgin collection) has been suggested in the past. But for many Greeks, the idea of borrowing back what they regard as their own property would be painful. BBC Monitoring says the loan of the statue did not get front page coverage in major Greek newspapers on Friday morning, but it was reported widely. Most simply related the story, relying on British media reports for detail, and recalled Greece's long campaign to have the sculptures returned. Kathimerini and Ta Nea both saw the loan as act of defiance, given Greek wishes. "The British Museum not only refuses to return the Parthenon Marbles to Greece, but, in a move interpreted as a 'show of strength', has decided to lend one of them to the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg," said Ta Nea. Ethnos called it an "unprecedented move". All papers highlighted the "secrecy" surrounding the move, and some deployed irony. To Vima referred to the "loan" in inverted commas, while the Star news website declared: "For the first time: the British lend out one of the sculptures, but not to Greece!" In a blog about the loan, Mr MacGregor said the British Museum was a "museum of the world, for the world". He noted that the British Museum had opened its doors in 1759 and the Hermitage just five years later - making them "almost twins... the first great museums of the European Enlightenment". The British Museum was today "the most generous lender in the world", he said, "making a reality of the Enlightenment ideal that the greatest things in the world should be seen and studied, shared and enjoyed by as many people in as many countries as possible". "The trustees have always believed that such loans must continue between museums in spite of political disagreements between governments." Paul Wright, 34, was on holiday in Crete in 2003 when he said he was a passenger in a car which crashed. He was arrested in March after being convicted in his absence by a Greek court of joyriding and criminal damage. Mr Wright said he was "really happy" with the CPS's decision. The father-of-two, from Mold, had faced either a £3,500 fine or a 15-month prison sentence in Greece. But at a hearing to fight the extradition order last week a judge ruled in his favour, saying he was not satisfied Mr Wright had deliberately absented himself from the Greek proceedings. The CPS had seven days in which to appeal but told Mr Wright's solicitor on Tuesday that it would not be pursuing the case. "I feel better now I have the finality of it because when I got the decision last week I was still left in limbo," said Mr Wright. "More than anything I can actually start planning to build my life again because I had so much taken away from me in the last year - my health, my career and then in March my liberty and the potential of my family life. "Everything was just stripped away and now I've just been handed it all back." Mr Wright, who cannot work because of a serious back injury, estimates his case has cost taxpayers about £30,000 in legal fees. He claims he is innocent of the charges and that his friend crashed the car - which belonged to a Greek barman - ran off and left him to explain the damage. His case was supported by Delyn MP David Hanson, who said it was unfair for a person to be convicted in their absence with no opportunity to defend themselves. Mr Wright said Tuesday's news was "just round one" in the fight to clear his name. "What I have won today is the right to stay in the UK. If I ever want to travel again, I have to now fight it in Europe. "I've got to clear my name. I've been a prisoner in my own home since March because of my bail conditions and now I'm a prisoner in my own country and I can't accept that." BBC News has spoken to several research groups and small businesses who say they will soon have to scale down operations and lay off staff. Seven national academies have called on the government to ensure that research is protected in Brexit negotiations; the President of the Royal Society has told the BBC that the future prosperity of the UK is at stake. British universities, in collaboration with small businesses, receive £850m in research grants each year from the European Union. Since the vote to leave the European Union there have been reports that British applicants for grants are already losing out. Dr Nick Wright is one of the UK's brightest young astronomers at Keele University in Staffordshire. A long-standing collaborator recently told him that he was applying for a travel and accommodation grant, which would enable astronomers from research groups across Europe to work together on similar research projects at each other's universities. But Dr Wright was told that there were concerns from others involved in the application that a UK institution's involvement in the project would harm its chances - so Dr Wright and his group were asked not to be involved. He told BBC News that Brexit was already beginning to hurt. "It made me think we were missing out; that potentially they would go ahead without us or even worse they would find our expertise elsewhere in Europe and we would be frozen out of this kind of research in the future," Dr Wright said. "We are going to start getting frozen out of big projects. Researchers in Europe are looking elsewhere to collaborate and that might mean we are not at the table when big discoveries are made." Archer Technicoat is a small hi-tech company in High Wycombe, which develops bespoke coatings to toughen components. On the day BBC News visited the company, engineers there were testing a new coating for rocket thrusters for the European Space Agency. This coating would allow the thrusters to burn at much higher temperatures and hence use more explosive rocket fuel, reducing the cost of future Mars missions. Since it was founded, the firm has received EU funds from the Horizon 2020 research programme. That money has helped the firm develop its products, stay at the cutting edge of research and most importantly to develop contacts that have helped the company win orders. I asked the firm's managing director John Yeatman what had happened to its European funding as a result of the referendum.UK scientists speak about Brexit pain "The short answer is that it's stopped," he said. "We have been involved in Horizon 2020 programmes for 30 years and the interest from European partners for involving us in their projects has basically dried up." UK scientists speak about Brexit pain Prof Alison Smith leads a project at Cambridge University to harness the power of algae to develop new products, such as medicines and expensive chemical ingredients, more efficiently. Her group leads the world in this field and Prof Smith, as the coordinator of a research collaboration worth millions of euros, has helped the team win various research grants. This year her collaborators suggested that she take a back seat. "We have decided that I will not be the coordinator; instead my colleague in Paris will do that," she told BBC News. "That is because getting these grants is very competitive and we don't want to jeopardise our chances by having a UK person as a coordinator." Christopher Bovey was planning to set up a testing company, Herba Invest, in Totnes in Devon to help manufacturers of herbal products gain European Union regulatory approval. "I'm flying to Spain to help start up the new Spanish company, since, thanks to Brexit, it is not viable to do this in the UK," he said. "The irony is that Brexit voters have forced me to fly to Spain to create jobs for Spanish people." Beyond these practicalities and uncertainties, there are grave fears for the reputation of the UK as a place for doing research. Prof Ilaria Bellantuono of Sheffield University is part way through a funding application process. She said: "If we pass to stage two of our grant application, our German partner said that it was likely the UK participants would not be included in the full application… because there is apprehension regarding reviewers judging our participation as risky." Prof Rich Dawson, an engineer from Newcastle University, told a similar tale. "A project being led by Coventry University that was due for submission this August, with us as partners, is no longer going ahead because everyone fears it will be wasted effort," he said. Dr Pietro Cicuta, a physicist at the University of Cambridge, said the UK's image was already tarnished. "To state things… simply, in the words of a young PhD student in our department: the UK has gone from being cool to uncool in a day." Follow Pallab on Twitter Police Commander Mohammad Dawood told the BBC via satellite phone that he was surrounded by Taliban fighters and that he needed urgent help. Otherwise, he added, he and his men couldn't hold for long as they were running out of ammunition. Helmand's governor says the whole province could fall to the Taliban. "The bazaar is closed; we have been surrounded for the past two days," Commander Dawood told the BBC's Mahfouz Zubaide. "I have casualties lying around me; we haven't eaten for the past two days. If we don't get support in the next hour or so, our fighters will be captured alive. "We only have the police HQ under our control and have a battalion of the national army with us. The district office and the intelligence directorate are under enemy control." Earlier, the deputy governor of Helmand complained of a lack of government support in an open letter on Facebook to President Ashraf Ghani. Mohammad Jan Rasoulyar warned that the province could fall to the Taliban. He said at least 90 soldiers had been killed in the latest fighting and claimed Mr Ghani's entourage was not telling him the reality of the situation. "Helmand will collapse to the enemies and it's not like Kunduz, where we could launch an operation from the airport to retake it. That is just impossible and a dream," he said. The Taliban hunters Who are the Taliban? Why Taliban special forces are fighting Islamic State Mr Rasoulyar used the Facebook post to appeal to the president for direct intervention in the province. "Be quick and act on this! Protect Helmand from this life and death situation and distance yourself from the circle of those lawyers who tell you everything is OK and the situation is normal," he wrote. In recent months, Taliban insurgents have launched multiple offensives, stretching the Afghan army, which is short of reinforcements, fuel and ammunition. The fact that a senior Afghan official is addressing the president on Facebook reflects significant internal divisions within the administration, says the BBC's World Service South Asia Editor Ethirajan Anbarasan. The former policeman, named as Rodney Dias dos Santos, is the alleged mastermind of last month's attack. Supporters of the Corinthians club were preparing banners ahead of a match when gunmen burst in, police said. Police say the killings at the Pavilhao Nove supporters' group were likely to be drug related. The attackers ordered seven fans to lie down before shooting them. The eighth man was hit as he tried to flee. Rodney Dias dos Santos and the other man, who has not been named, were arrested on Thursday morning and taken into police custody, according to O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper. Witnesses say three gunmen stormed into the makeshift club in a working-class suburb of Sao Paulo on Saturday, 18 April. Sao Paulo police suggested the Pavilhao Nove group may have had links to criminal gangs, saying the killings were probably more to do with a dispute over drugs trafficking than with football. Violence in Brazilian football is a growing problem both directly and indirectly, with supporters of teams in several major cities using their club allegiances to organise criminal activity outside the stadiums, the BBC's Wyre Davies reports from Rio de Janeiro. The victims were having a barbecue as they prepared for a Corinthians' match against their fiercest local rivals, Palmeiras, the following day. Corinthians are one of the Brazil's most popular clubs, followed by millions of supporters across the country. Rivelino, Socrates and, more recently, Carlos Tevez and Ronaldo, are among the big names who have played for the club. Compared with April 2015, the consumer price index rose by 0.1%, Germany's statistics office Destatis said. Pressures driving the inflation rate up were rising food prices, particularly the cost of fruit and vegetables. There were also hikes in the cost of fish, confectionery and bread. The cost of oil products fell, however. Excluding energy costs, consumer prices rose by 1.2% year-on-year. Using the European Central Bank's favourite measure, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), inflation also rose by 0.7% year-on-year in May. Meanwhile, investor sentiment in Germany in June fell to its lowest level in seven months as uncertainty over Greece and subdued global growth hit confidence, a survey suggested. The investor confidence index calculated by the ZEW economic institute fell by a steeper-than-expected 10.4 points to 31.5 points this month. That is its lowest level since November 2014, ZEW said in a statement. The German, 44, who retired from F1 for a second time in 2012, was taken by helicopter to hospital in Moutiers before being moved to Grenoble. World championships: 7 Race wins: 91 Seasons in F1: 19 Points scored: 1,560 Points finishes: 220 Podiums: 155 Schumacher was skiing with his 14-year-old son and others in an off-piste area between two marked runs above Meribel when he fell on Sunday morning. He is being examined in hospital, with his wife and two children also present. Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte, director of the Meribel resort, said Schumacher "was a little shaken but conscious" after crashing. Speaking to Radio Monte Carlo Sport, Gernignon-Lecomte added: "He was wearing a helmet and banged [his head] against a rock." Schumacher was attended to by two ski patrollers who requested helicopter evacuation to the nearby valley town of Moutiers, before he was subsequently moved to a bigger facility at Grenoble. The German is receiving the attention of Professor Gerard Saillant, a close ally and friend of Schumacher and his former Ferrari team boss Jean Todt. Saillant is an expert in brain and spine injury. He oversaw Schumacher's medical care when the German broke his leg in the 1999 British GP. Schumacher's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said in a statement: "We ask for understanding that we cannot give out continuous information about his health. "He was wearing a helmet and was not alone. No-one else was involved in the fall." Schumacher won seven world championships and secured 91 race victories during a 19-year career in Formula 1. He won two titles with Benetton, in 1994 and 1995, before switching to Ferrari in 1996 and going on to win five straight titles from 2000. The German retired in 2006, but returned in 2010 with Mercedes. After three seasons which yielded just one podium finish, he quit the sport at the end of 2012. Media playback is not supported on this device The tree in Llanelli town centre is now 20% shorter than before after workmen had to remove branches from its bottom and drop it into a 5ft (1.5m) hole to make it secure. One local nicknamed it the "bonsai Christmas tree" as it is now shorter than surrounding trees. Carmarthenshire council has apologised for any disappointment. Local people complained about the 20ft (6m) tree online. Dave Glover wrote: "I've got bigger weeds growing outside my property." Sarah Williams complained the tree was "getting smaller every year" while another said: "Pathetic. Size really does matter with Christmas trees." A Carmarthenshire council spokeswoman said: "We are sorry if people are disappointed that it is not as large as those we have had in the past. "The tree had to be anchored five foot under the ground due to safety reasons. "It meant that around four foot of branches had to be cut off to accommodate this. "We can assure people that Christmas in Llanelli will still be a magical time." Cars, flights, furniture and insurance are among the goods and services which buyers think they are getting at a bargain, but which do not exist. The charity said nearly all of those tricked failed to get their money back. The average loss was £1,100, it said as it urged people to take their time over online purchases. "With so many people shopping online to compare deals, scammers are using numerous tactics to target people with phantom goods," said Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice. "They are drawing people in with cut-price deals and then persuading people to buy items with phoney recommendations from customers. "It is really important that people don't rush into buying an item when they spot a bargain, but take some time to make sure it is genuine first." The charity's advice line received calls regarding 555 cases in the first three months of the year, up 17% from the same period a year earlier. They included: The government said that social media accounts and websites linked to scams had been closed and hundreds of arrests made. Although phantom goods only account for a fraction of scam cases, online shoppers are being urged to avoid paying for items online via a bank transfer, encouraged to research a trader before agreeing to a purchase, and told to look for the padlock icon when paying online. James Alex Fields was denied bail as he was arraigned for second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit and run. Heather Heyer, 32, died and 19 were injured when a car hit demonstrators in Charlottesville on Saturday. Mr Fields is said to have harboured Nazi sympathies. President Donald Trump has been criticised for not specifically denouncing the far-right elements in the weekend's march. But the White House has defended his remarks as explicitly condemning the white supremacy groups involved. Ken Frazier, CEO of drugs giant Merck, announced on Monday he would resign from the president's American Manufacturing Council over Mr Trump's response to Charlottesville. Mr Frazier, who is African American, tweeted he had "a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism". James Alex Fields looked nervous and listless on the small monitor in the corner of the courtroom. Mostly he kept his head down, his eyes darting occasionally up towards the camera. He was wearing a striped jumpsuit and had the neat, buzzcut hairstyle favoured by many white supremacists and neo-nazis who have united under the banner of the so-called "alt-right". Judge Robert Downer read his charges - one count of murder, one count of hit and run, three counts of malicious wounding. Alex Fields spoke briefly to say he was employed by Securitas and Omni Ohio, could not afford a lawyer, and had no ties to Charlottesville. Judge Downer denied him bail, and revealed he could not be appointed a public defender because someone in the public defender's office was directly affected by the crime. His appointed lawyer, Charles Webster, named in court by the judge, had yet to be contacted to inform him of his latest client. In 10 minutes it was over. Outside the court, known white nationalist Matthew Heimbach was shouting that the death of Heather Heyer was the fault of the police. "Nazis go home," the crowd chanted back at him. "I think I like it in Charlottesville," he said. "I think I'll stay." Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday said the deadly violence met "the definition of domestic terrorism", adding that the Justice Department was opening a civil rights investigation into the event. "You can be sure we will charge and advance the investigation towards the most serious charges that can be brought because this is unequivocally an unacceptable evil attack," he said on ABC News' Good Morning America. He told the television programme that FBI agents from the terrorism and civil rights divisions were also investigating the matter. Hundreds of white nationalists convened in Charlottesville on Saturday to protest against the removal of a statue of a general who had fought for the pro-slavery Confederacy during the US Civil War. These groups, which include the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis and other white supremacy organisations, have coalesced under a banner of the so-called "alt-right" movement. They were challenged by anti-fascist and counter-protesters and the rally erupted into violent clashes. During the melee, Ms Heyer was struck by a car that rammed into a crowd of dispersing counter-protesters. Protests and vigils in support of Charlottesville were held in many US cities on Sunday. In Seattle, police used pepper spray to stop protesters approaching a pro-Trump rally. Hours after the violence erupted, Mr Trump said he condemned "in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides". "The hate and the division must stop right now," he told reporters in New Jersey, where he is on a working holiday. "We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation." But his comments did not explicitly condemn the white extremist groups involved in the rally, an omission that was strongly criticised by Republicans and Democrats alike. Many, including senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, echoed the sentiment of Colorado Senator Cory Gardner, who tweeted: "Mr President - we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism." The president's national security adviser, HR McMaster, went further by commenting: "Anytime that you commit an attack against people to incite fear, it meets the definition of terrorism." The mayor of Charlottesville, Democrat Mike Signer, drew a link between the events and the rhetoric of Mr Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, saying that "these anti-Semites, racists, Aryans, neo-Nazis, KKK" had come out of the shadows after having "been given a key and a reason to come into the light". In response to the criticism, the White House issued a statement on Sunday clarifying that Mr Trump's condemnation had included white supremacists. "The president said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred. Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK, neo-Nazi and all extremist groups," a spokesperson said. Mr Sessions also came to the president's defence on Monday, saying he "explicitly condemned the kind of ideology behind these movements of Nazism, white supremacy, the KKK." That is his unequivocal position," Mr Sessions said, "He totally opposes those kind of values". Nolan, 24, made 22 appearances for The Mariners as they secured promotion to the Football League. He left Grimsby on Tuesday after appearing in the side's FA Trophy Final loss to Halifax Town at Wembley. Chesterfield, who finished 18th in League One, released seven players at the end of the season. Nolan, who began his career at Stockport County, is Chesterfield's second non-league signing of the summer after striker Kristian Dennis joined from Stockport County.

He spoke to Simon Jack at the World Economic Forum in Davos. But this year, as the staff collect up the champagne flutes and stack the chairs, the aftermath is not quite business as usual. There has been much talk of the new "see now, buy now" trend that upends the traditional system whereby fashion houses showcase their new styles but only deliver them to the market several months later. So what exactly has changed and why? London Fashion Week comes around twice a year (in September and February), and, as the people behind it are keen to emphasise, it is about a great deal more than hats and hem lengths. It is the industry's trade show: new styles are launched, fashion journalists take copious notes, and buyers put in orders for stock. According to the organisers, the fashion industry contributes £28bn to the UK economy and is growing, currently providing jobs for 880,000 people. And in an ever noisier world, it can help let your voice be heard, according to Peter Ruis, chief executive of Jigsaw - showing at Fashion Week for the first time. He says: "Twenty years ago, there were maybe 300 to 400 brands in Europe. "Now, there are millions of brands everywhere, so London Fashion Week gives us a chance for four days to be on the top of the agenda." In the old days, a designer would show new styles in the autumn that were meant to be worn the following spring. February's fashion shows looked ahead to the coming winter. It gave editors time to publish lots of glossy photos in monthly magazines and allowed the anticipation to build before the clothes arrived in store. At London Fashion Week this February, Burberry, was the first to introduce the idea of "see now, buy now" or "runway to retail": showing products and then making them immediately available to buy. Their collection, on Monday night, was billed as "seasonless" and "immediate", available globally. Topshop and Jigsaw followed their example. At New York Fashion Week a few days earlier, Ralph Lauren held its show on Madison Avenue, so once the runway had cleared, guests could be ushered straight into the brand's flagship store, where all the designs were immediately available to buy. Tom Ford and Tommy Hilfiger have adopted the new timetable too. Natasha Pearlman, editor of Grazia magazine, told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme that labels had realised it was just too hard to keep people excited about a design while they waited for six months. "You're responding to what the consumer wants," she said. "The consumer drives the profits... the more people you're talking to, the more the products are available to them, the more exciting it is." But not everyone is keen on the idea. "Fashion used to be a world of allure, and refinement and scarcity," says Patrick Grant, creative director of Savile Row tailor Norton & Sons. "Personally, I felt there was something wonderful about this," he says/ "Now... there's fashion spam everywhere. "And what this has done is turn Ralph Lauren and Burberry into [shopping channel] QVC. "It's totally democratised, but my problem with it is, it's losing its allure." "Fast fashion" from brands such as Zara and H&M mean that once the big name designers have shown their hand at Fashion Week, ordinary shoppers have to wait only a few weeks before High Street retailers are offering the colours and shapes they are craving. Then there is the internet. Fashion journalism is also undergoing a revolution as independent bloggers or "influencers" play an ever greater role in telling consumers what is hot and what is not. If a high-end label waits six months before its lines arrive in the shop, it risks looking dated as the internet and the High Street have long ago been there and done that. Moreover, as the fashion industry becomes ever more global, the idea of designing for an upcoming "season" stops making any sense. There is a market for winter coats in Australia just when Americans are investing in strappy summer dresses. Some things are not changing. There is the biannual debate over the influence of super-skinny models and the lack of ethnic diversity on the catwalk. Designers are still making a splash with outlandish garments - not because they think consumers would ever wear them but because it helps them to establish a brand identity and make them memorable. And newspapers and magazines, whether in print or online, are as keen as ever to fill their pages with glossy pictures of celebrities ranged along the fashion front rows. It comes after Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) announced plans to merge its Sandown Bay and Ryde academies. Conservative councillor Chris Whitehouse said: "We want AET out of Sandown Academy and preferably off the island altogether." The authority will now take its request to the Department for Education. The council wants to establish or bring in another body to run the island's schools. More on this and other stories from across the South of England. A Department for Education (DfE) spokesman said: "We are aware of AET's proposal to merge Sandown Bay Academy and Ryde Academy. "Any significant change to an open academy must be approved by the department and there is a clearly defined process that academy trusts must follow." AET said a consultation on the merger between the two schools was due to start next week. The trust claims falling numbers and the consequent impact on finances had prompted the merger decision. Catherine Hastings from the trust said: "We really do understand the depth of feeling among students and families. The facts are that there are way too many school places on the island." The head teacher of Sandown Bay resigned and the board of governors was replaced earlier this year. Four members of staff - one teacher and three support staff - currently face compulsory redundancy. A final decision on the proposed merger will be made by the government after the general election.

The Royal Air Force said Typhoon jets were scrambled from RAF Coningsby and RAF Lossiemouth to identify an unresponsive civilian aircraft. Once communication was re-established, the plane was escorted to Prestwick. The plane, an Airbus A320 operated by Volaris, had seven crew members on board but no passengers. Sonic booms were reported to have been heard across northern Scotland as the fighter jets went at supersonic speed. The RAF confirmed that the Typhoons were cleared to operate at supersonic speed. The passenger plane was travelling from Toulouse in France to Iceland when it was intercepted. Police said the plane was diverted at 14:40 and landed safely at the airport at 15:57. Volaris is a Mexican operator. It is believed the plane was a new aircraft on its way from the French manufacturing base to its new owner. Roads around the airport closed shortly after 15:00 but have now reopened. Flights from Glasgow Airport were delayed during the incident. A spokeswoman for Glasgow Prestwick Airport said: "We can confirm that an aircraft has been diverted to Glasgow Prestwick Airport following a temporary loss of communications. "Some roads surrounding the airport have been closed as a precautionary measure. This is an ongoing Police Scotland incident." An RAF spokesman said: "Quick reaction alert Typhoon aircraft were launched today from RAF Coningsby and RAF Lossiemouth to identify an unresponsive civilian aircraft. "The Typhoon aircraft were authorised to transit at supersonic speed for operational reasons; any inconvenience caused to local residents is regretted. "Communications were re-established and the aircraft has been safely escorted by the Lossiemouth aircraft to Prestwick airport."

A passenger plane has landed under military escort at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire after it lost contact with air traffic control.

Yan Bingtao, 16, could not take up his card last year because of visa issues, while Zhao Xintong, 19, was runner-up in the 2015 World Amateur Championship. Cao Yupeng, 25, and Chen Zhe, 23, and Fang Xiongman, 23, all came though six rounds of matches in Q School. Last month, World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said half of the top 16 in the world will be from China one day. WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson said: "Chinese players continue to be a strong force in snooker and this is further evidence of the rising young talent fighting for a place on the World Snooker tour." Earlier this month, Ding Junhui became the first Chinese player to play in the World Championship final at the Crucible, losing 18-14 to Mark Selby. The tournament was watched by a television audience of 210 million in China. The only Englishman to earn a tour card for next season from the Q School's first event one was 23-year-old Christopher Keogan from Doncaster. England's John Astley, 27, Welshman David John, 31, Malta's Alex Borg, 46, and 28-year-old Cypriot Michael Georgiou all progressed through Q School's second event. Englishmen Craig Steadman, 31, Jamie Barrett, 32 and Adam Duffy, 28, and Wales' 33-year-old Ian Preece all earned two-year tour cards through the Q School order of merit. His father Malcolm was murdered in Beirut on the morning of 18 January 1986 by two members of the terror group Islamic Jihad. At the time, Kerr was a first-year student at the University of Arizona on a basketball scholarship. He was starting out on a path that would lead eventually to NBA championship glory as a player with the Chicago Bulls and then as coach of the Warriors. What's striking is that in the years following the killing Kerr's response was not embittered or coloured with vengeance. Instead he has consistently called for greater peace and understanding in the world. As a recent profile of him in the New York Times puts it: "He steps into discussions that most others in his position purposely avoid or know little about, chewing through the grey areas in a world that increasingly paints itself in bold contrasts." Trump's executive order on immigration is totally contrary to Olympic ideals. For him, collective responsibility trumps individual justice Recent days have proved no different. Kerr has emerged as a prominent voice of protest against US president Donald Trump's executive order which suspends the country's refugee programme for 120 days, puts an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees and prevents, for the time being at least, anyone arriving from seven Muslim-majority countries, with certain exceptions. President Trump insists the order will buttress the United States' defence against terrorism and is not a ban against Muslims. And while public protests have been large and vocal, polls show a majority of Americans are in favour of the restrictions. But Kerr disagrees, believing the order will be counterproductive. "I would just say that as someone whose family member was a victim of terrorism, having lost my father, if we're trying to combat terrorism by banishing people from coming to this country, by really going against the principles of what our country is about and creating fear, it's the wrong way of going about it," he told reporters this week. "Families are being torn apart, and I worry in the big picture what this means to the security of the world. It's going about it completely opposite. You want to solve terror, you want to solve crime, this is not the way to do it." He is not alone. Many figures within American sport have voiced their concerns in recent days. Footballer Michael Bradley, captain of the US national team, felt compelled to write of Trump that "the Muslim ban is just the latest example of someone who couldn't be more out of touch with our country and the right way to move forward" while the former UFC champion Ronda Rousey has posted similar sentiments on her Instagram account. Tommie Smith's clenched fist "black power" salute at the 1968 Mexico Olympics and last year's decision by NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick not to stand during the national anthem shows how political protest and American sport are often linked. But the Trump immigration and refugee measures - and his presidential term through to January 2021 - may have wider implications for the future of American sport. As a result, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and football's world governing body Fifa both face challenging decisions. The first will come later this year when the IOC decides which city will host the 2024 Olympics. Los Angeles and Paris are locked in a tight race, with the IOC's 98 members poised to cast their vote. So far there has been no response to the Trump measures from the IOC, an organisation which makes a virtue of non-discrimination in its founding principles. However, one IOC member, Richard Peterkin, provided a glimpse into how some delegates may feel when he tweeted: "Trump's executive order on immigration is totally contrary to Olympic ideals. For him, collective responsibility trumps individual justice." LA's mayor, Eric Garcetti, was swift to condemn the Trump plan but it remains to be seen whether his damage-limitation exercise will help his city's bid. On the other hand, money talks. And in global sport it often wins votes. The size of the financial advantages offered by a US-based Games are significant. LA's organisers estimate they can generate a huge $4.8bn (£3.8bn) in revenue. So with the ballot eight months away all is not lost for LA - after all, despite disquiet over human rights abuses, the IOC awarded China (Beijing 2008) and Russia (Sochi 2014) the summer and winter Games respectively. There is one alternative which is starting to look increasingly politically expedient. Informal talks are believed to be under way which could result in the IOC awarding the 2024 Games to Paris and the 2028 Games to LA at the same time, providing a win for all concerned. Fifa faces a similar issues with awarding its major event. Bidding to host an expanded 48-team World Cup in 2026 will get under way in the near future. The process will take three years and culminate, for the first time, in all 211 Fifa member nations having a say in which country, or countries, will win. There will also be scrutiny of the human rights record of prospective hosts. The US is currently the clear favourite to win, as European and Asian countries are blocked from bidding under a rotation policy. But let's cast forward to the eve of the 2026 vote. In May 2020 the US presidential election campaign will be in full swing, with President Trump delivering speech after speech as he seeks a second term of office. He will have been in power for close to four years, shaping and implementing policy. How will Fifa's globally based voters respond if, by then, Syrians are still blocked from seeking refuge in the US? If citizens of several nations are officially not welcome in the US, even temporarily as fans? When the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded to Russia and Qatar respectively the decisions were made by a small group of Fifa officials, most of whom are now discredited or banned from the game for various acts of misconduct. The ballot for 2026 will involve a far larger and more ethnically, politically and religiously diverse group. Could it, theoretically, become a de facto referendum on the United States' standing in the world? The mantra that sport and politics don't mix has perhaps never been less accurate - the Trump administration has probably just locked them together for the next four years. 14 February 2017 Last updated at 23:20 GMT Vikas Pandey spoke to voters in Varanasi, the prime minister's constituency. The German, 27, made 12 birdies and six pars at the Ellie Mae Classic to better the 59 recorded six times on the PGA Tour and five times on the secondary.

In a regulatory filing, it said that the Securities and Exchange Commission had asked for documents in 2011. Las Vegas Sands, controlled by billionaire Sheldon Adelson, said it had now found there had been "likely violations" of the bribery law. But it does not expect the revelations to hurt its bottom line. The US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes it a crime for US corporations and their subsidiaries to bribe foreign officials, and some other large US companies have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. In April, Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, revealed it was investigating claims that its Mexican subsidiaries used bribes to secure permits to build new stores and said it was carrying out investigations in various other countries as well, including Brazil and China. Las Vegas Sands said that the SEC requested documents in February 2011 relating to the anti-bribery law. "The Audit Committee advised the company and its independent accountants that it had reached certain preliminary findings, including that there were likely violations of the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA," it said. But the casino operator added that these findings "do not have a material impact" and "do not warrant any restatement of the company's past financial statements". Las Vegas Sands makes the bulk of its earnings in Macau, the world's biggest gambling market and the only Chinese territory where casinos are allowed, and Singapore. Inmarsat's communications with the aircraft are seen as the best clues to the whereabouts of Flight MH370. The hunt for the lost jet is currently taking a short break while ships map the Indian Ocean floor. When the search resumes, the Inmarsat "hotspot" will be a key focus. But so too will a number of areas being fed into the investigation by other groups. Australian authorities are expected to announce where these are shortly. The BBC's Horizon TV programme has been given significant access to the telecommunications experts at Inmarsat. It was the brief, hourly electronic connections between the jet and one of company's spacecraft that are currently driving the search. Inmarsat's scientists could tell from the timings and frequencies of the connection signals that the plane had to have come down in the southern Indian Ocean. An Australian naval vessel was sent to investigate the region west of Perth, and followed up leads as they emerged. But as Horizon reports, the Ocean Shield ship never got to the Inmarsat hotspot because it picked up sonar detections some distance away that it thought were coming from the jet's submerged flight recorders. The priority was to investigate these "pings", and two months were spent searching 850 sq km of sea bed. Ultimately, it turned out to be a dead end. "It was by no means an unrealistic location but it was further to the north east than our area of highest probability," Chris Ashton at Inmarsat tells Horizon. The company's experts used their data to plot a series of arcs across the Indian Ocean where its systems made contact with the jet. By modelling a flight with a constant speed and a constant heading consistent with the plane being flown by autopilot - the team found one flight path that lined up with all its data. "We can identify a path that matches exactly with all those frequency measurements and with the timing measurements and lands on the final arc at a particular location, which then gives us a sort of a hotspot area on the final arc where we believe the most likely area is," said Mr Ashton. The Australian authorities leading the hunt have now recognised the need to make a high-resolution bathymetric (depth) survey of the wider search zone - some 60,000 sq km in area. This is likely to take several months, but once they know precisely the shape of the sea bed and the height of the water column, they can then better choose the most appropriate vehicles to continue the underwater sweep. MH370 was lost on 8 March en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. A total of 239 passengers and crew were on board. BBC Horizon: Where is Flight MH370? will be broadcast on BBC Two at 2100 BST on Tuesday, and will be available on the iPlayer thereafter. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos The 111 service, replacing NHS Direct, is being piloted in many regions but has proved problematic, with some callers left on hold for hours. Dr Laurence Buckman, the British Medical Association's GP committee chair, says wider rollout should be stalled. The Department of Health says it is giving some areas extra time. It has already sanctioned an extension of up to six months of the original 1 April 2013 deadline for regions struggling to set up the new service. The NHS Direct 0845 4647 service will continue to be available to callers in areas where the NHS 111 service is not yet available, Health Minister Lord Howe insists. These include: North of Tyne and Tees, North Essex, Bedfordshire and Luton, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Leicestershire and Rutland, Berkshire, Cornwall and Devon. But the British Medical Association is concerned that many of the places that are already offering the new service or that are due to launch soon are ill-prepared, putting patients' lives at risk. The BMA says it has been receiving widespread reports of NHS 111 failures Some of the pilot regions have been unable to cope with call volumes or have suffered catastrophic IT failures. In Greater Manchester the entire system crashed, meaning calls went unanswered. One elderly patient had to wait 90 minutes for a call back from NHS 111. Problems led to a surge in ambulance callouts and casualty visits as callers have resorted to other measures to get seen by a healthcare professional. Dr Buckman said: "The BMA is seriously concerned that these failures are not only having impact on other, already overstretched NHS services, but potentially putting patient safety at risk. Patients need to have their calls answered immediately and correctly and not be faced with any form of delay. "The Department of Health needs to reconsider immediately its launch of NHS 111 which clearly is not functioning properly. They must ensure that the system is safe for patients before it is rolled out any further." Lord Howe said: "NHS 111 will help patients access the whole of the NHS through just one simple number. "Over the coming months this new service will replace the existing NHS Direct telephone advice line. To ensure that patients get the best care and treatment, we are giving some areas more time to go live with NHS 111 while we carry out thorough testing to ensure that those services are reliable." The claim: Leaving the European Union would create a year-long recession. Reality Check verdict: The Treasury analysis gives two scenarios, described as "shock" and "severe shock". Both point to a recession in the short term, but in the case of the lesser "shock" scenario, while there would be an impact on the economy, the predicted recession would be very mild and well within the bounds of forecasting uncertainty. And it's not pretty - the Treasury predicts that economic growth would decline, wages would be lower than if we'd stayed in and house prices would fall. If you're prepared to be influenced by economic modelling (read our Reality Check on the subject here) then there is a simple message, which is that in the first two years, a vote to leave the EU would be a considerably bad thing for the economy. If you want to go a bit further into the figures, there is more to say. The Treasury no longer does economic forecasts - that job has now been given to the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). What the Treasury is doing is what it calls scenario analysis, which is taking what would happen if we stayed in the EU as a base-line and then considering what the impact would be were we to leave. So all the figures you see today are not how much worse things would be than they are today. They are how much worse things will be in two years if we leave the EU, than they would have been if we stayed in. The Treasury has modelled two scenarios, the "shock" and the "severe shock" scenarios. The shock scenario is what it reckons would happen if the country decided to negotiate a bilateral agreement to cover its relationship with the EU. The severe shock scenario is what would happen if we decided to trade as just another World Trade Organisation member, with no special relationship with the EU. The Chancellor said in his speech: "Within two years the size of our economy - our GDP - would be at least 3% smaller as a result of leaving the EU - and it could be as much as 6% smaller." "We'd have a year of negative growth - that's a recession." But that doesn't mean it will be smaller than it is now, it means it will be smaller than it would have been had we stayed in. If you compare that with the OBR's forecast for what will happen to the economy over the next couple of years (assuming we stay in) it turns out that under the shock scenario, in the first four quarters after the vote to leave, the economy would contract by 0.1% every quarter. A recession is when you get at least two consecutive quarters (three month periods) in which the economy gets smaller. So that would be a recession, but not by very much. It would be well within the degree of uncertainty surrounding this sort of economic analysis. Under the severe shock scenario, the expected contraction would be much more severe: - 1% in the first quarter and -0.4% in the following three quarters, before registering negligible growth in the following year. The same may be done with other predictions in the report. For example, the Treasury predicts house prices in two years would be between 10% and 18% lower than they would be if we had stayed in. The OBR forecasts house prices will rise by about 10% over that period, so if you put those predictions together for the two scenarios you get prices being either flat or falling by 8%.

The airline already operates services to Geneva, London City and Southampton. The BBC's Lyse Doucet, who was at the scene, describes a tide of desperate people leaving the area, which has been closed off since March. Supplies in Moadamiya had been running desperately short, and residents had pleaded to be saved from starvation. The exodus of civilians has been made possible by an apparent relaxation of a blockade by government forces. The Syrian army had previously said that rebel-held areas of Damascus such as Moadamiya could surrender or starve. At least three of Damascus's suburbs - Yarmouk, Eastern Ghouta and Moadamiya - have been besieged by government forces for several months. By Lyse DoucetChief international correspondent A tide of people fled Moadamiya today - some on stretchers, some crying, all showing the severe strain of a life under siege. "We didn't see a piece of bread for nine months," one woman told me. "We were eating leaves and grass." A little girl in a pink dress showed me her trembling hands. "We are all sick," she said, as she and her little sister clutched pieces of bread distributed by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent Society. Some 20 buses were waiting at the entrance to Moadamiya to take residents to a government shelter. But men, young and old, were kept in a separate queue. They will now be questioned about what side they are on, and what was their involvement in the fight. The situation has become so desperate that earlier this month Muslim clerics issued a religious ruling allowing people to eat cats, dogs and donkeys just to survive. Those animals are usually considered unfit for human consumption in Islam. For months, the UN and other aid agencies have been calling for urgent help, fearing the worst for the people of Moadamiya. "We didn't see a piece of bread for nine months," one woman told the BBC. "We were eating leaves and grass." The Minister for Social Affairs, Kinda Al Shamamat, who was overseeing the evacuation, has accused rebel gunmen - whom she describes as terrorists - of infiltrating Moadamiya. But rebel fighters - who have stayed behind in the suburb - accuse the government of trying to starve them into submission. Now that most civilians have fled, the battle will intensify, our correspondent says. The World Health Organization has confirmed 10 cases of polio in Syria - the first outbreak in the country in 14 years. The UN body says a further 12 cases are still being investigated. Before Syria's civil war began in 2011, some 95% of children in the country were vaccinated against the disease, but now an estimated 500,000 children have not been immunised. There has been speculation that foreign groups fighting in Syria may have imported polio into the country. The disease has been largely eradicated in developed countries but remains endemic in Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Meanwhile Syria's Deputy Prime Minister, Qadri Jamil, was dismissed on Tuesday for leaving the country and acting without government permission, state media said. Mr Jamil met US officials in Geneva over the weekend to discuss peace negotiations, according to UN and Middle East officials. But the state news agency Sana said Mr Jamil had been dismissed by President Bashar al-Assad "because he left his centre of work without prior permission and did not follow up on his duties". "Additionally, he undertook activities outside the nation without co-ordinating with the government," Sana said. There were 1,175 cases in 2015, compared to the record number of 1,215 in the previous year. The decline was due to "increased policing and combat operations". Poaching has been driven by demand for rhino horn in Asian countries for their purported medicinal properties. Since 2007, when 13 rhinos were poached in the country, the number of animals killed has rocketed. South Africa's Environmental Affairs Minister, Edna Molewa, hailed last year's fall, saying it was due to the government's anti-poaching policies. The measures, she said, included increased inspections at airports and borders and the use of anti-poaching technology. "Considering that this is despite escalating poaching pressure, and in the face of an increased and relentless rise of poaching activity into protected areas, this is very, very good news," she said. "[But] the onslaught against our rhino has continued unabated." Most cases (826) were at the Kruger National Park near the border with Mozambique, where between 8,400 to 9,300 white rhinos live, Ms Molewa said. She said that 317 poachers had been arrested last year for offences related to rhino poaching. In 2014, there were 258 arrests. South Africa has 80% of the world's rhino population but there are fears that they could be extinct within 10 years. There is increasing demand in Asian countries where it is believed that the horns have healing properties, even though they are made mainly from keratin, the same material as fingernails. The horn is sold in powdered form as a supposed cure for cancer and other diseases. Poachers use a chainsaw to cut away the rhino's horns and often leave a drugged animal to bleed to death.

The 24-year-old will have an operation next week and it is hoped he will be back for the start of the 2018 season. New Zealander Quinn joined Essex in December 2015 but is not an overseas player as he has a UK passport. Quinn has taken 101 first-class wickets at an average of 28.40 and registered career-best figures of 7-76 against Gloucestershire last season. Essex are top of Division One in the County Championship with a 29-point lead over Lancashire in second. Ian David Purdie, who was from the Castle Douglas area, was killed in the accident on the Old Military Road near the town on Wednesday. He died after his black Triumph motorbike left the road and collided with a wall. Police have asked anyone who travelled on the road between 16:30 and 23:30 on Wednesday to get in touch. Evans has had surgery to repair a tendon in his wrist and could be sidelined until November. The 24-year-old's most recent appearance was Wales' 46-6 defeat by New Zealand in the third Test in June. "I don't think we will see Rob until near the autumn internationals," Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac told the South Wales Evening Post. "He suffered the injury during the Six Nations and carried it through for the rest of the season." Working holidaymakers will instead be liable for 19% tax on every dollar that they earn. The compromise deal follows an outcry from farmers and the tourist industry. Farmers complained the tax rate could affect their labour supply at harvest time, while tourism operators maintained it would put backpackers and tourists off visiting Australia. About 600,000 backpackers travel to Australia every year and many of them find work picking fruit. "We recognise absolutely the important part that backpackers play in the overall tourism industry," Treasurer Scott Morrison told reporters in Canberra. "It is an important sector for the tourism industry, also a very important source of labour in the agricultural sector, particularly for seasonal labour," he added. Mr Morrison said the cost of working holiday visa applications would also be cut by 50 Australian dollars (£29.50; £38) to A$390. At present, backpackers, like other workers, do not pay any tax until their income exceeds A$18,200 a year. The government had expected to collect A$500m from the backpacker tax, which was first proposed in the government's 2015 budget. To offset the lower tax rate, the tax on passengers departing Australia will be increased by A$5. The tax changes are set to come into force on 1 January 2017. The alleged thieves were caught as they were leaving a site known as the "Cave of Skulls", halfway down a sheer cliff. Their loot included a 2,000-year-old comb, used to remove hair lice. Robbers have long been targeting archaeological sites in the remote area, which was a hideout for Jewish rebels in the days of the Roman empire. Items left behind by the rebels - ranging from shoes and tools to texts written on papyrus - have been preserved for centuries in the arid desert air and can fetch large sums on the black market for looted relics. A set of ancient relics - known as the Dead Sea Scrolls - were discovered in caves in this region between 1947 and 1956. The scrolls include the oldest copies of many Biblical texts, as well as secular writing relating to life in the 1st and 2nd Centuries AD. Robbery has long been a problem in the area - but Israeli authorities say this is the first time in decades that suspects have been caught in the act on the desert cliffs. According to a press release from the Israel Antiquities Authority, the gang was discovered by chance, when search and rescue workers on a training exercise in the desert spotted suspicious movement near a cave. The area was placed under surveillance, the press release said, and the suspects were observed "carrying out an illicit excavation". They were arrested while returning to the top, carrying looted artefacts, as well as "lighting equipment and ropes" and "sophisticated metal detectors". The press release said the suspects had caused "tremendous damage" by digging through earth dating to the Roman period, 2,000 years ago, and the Chalcolithic period, 5,000 years ago. It added that the suspects "demonstrated considerable expertise in reaching the cave by climbing and rappelling down the cliff". The gang were all young men from Seir, a village near Hebron, the press release said. The arrests were made last weekend, and the charges were made public on Sunday. Steve Patterson made a career-best 62 to add to Jack Leaning's 51 as the reigning county champions ended another truncated day on 368-9. Chris Woakes (3-79) and Keith Barker (3-99) were the Bears' best bowlers. Bears wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose, this year's beneficiary, held four catches. His miss of Liam Plunkett off Barker first ball, before the England man went on to make 26 out of a 43-run seventh-wicket stand with Rashid, may yet prove costly on a day ended early by bad light. Warwickshire may feel they have missed a chance having had Yorkshire 85-4 and then 209-6, but the visitors had already begun their recovery by reaching the close on 177-4 on day one, even before overnight and morning rain meant no play before lunch on day two. Although Woakes quickly found Leaning's edge when they resumed to end a partnership of 102 in 32 overs with Ballance, the Tykes showed their battling qualities. Given the weather forecast for days three and four, after the loss of almost an entire day's play spread over the first two days, a draw already looks the most likely result. First on the agenda on day three, with 33 balls left before the 110-over cut-off mark, is whether Yorkshire's last pair of Patterson and Ryan Sidebottom can add the 32 runs needed to claim a fifth batting bonus point. Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown: "It's been pretty miserable cricket conditions. We probably bowled better than we did on the first day, but credit to Yorkshire, they got stuck in and have fought hard. "It was frustrating but we knew that's what they would try to do. They are a very good side for a reason. "They bat all the way down and have got 11 dangerous batters really. That's what they do. You just hope that you have your day and produce one or two deliveries that knock them over quite quickly." Yorkshire and England all-rounder Adil Rashid: "We played exceptionally well there and the lower and middle orders chipped in with crucial runs. "It wasn't easy, especially with the bad weather around and us going on and off the pitch, but we dug in deep. "This is a ground we have enjoyed some success at. In the last few seasons we have done exceptionally well here but you can't just look back at the past. Hopefully the wicket will do enough for us to create chances." 20 December 2016 Last updated at 08:42 GMT Here they are telling us their favourite things about Christmas. Cardinal Vincent Nichols told the BBC: "There is no way IS is going to walk away without being forced to do so". The cardinal has just returned from Iraq's Kurdish capital Erbil, where he visited some of the Christians who have fled from the threat of IS. He said: "IS threat has got to be pushed back territorially." Last August, 125,000 Christian refugees from Iraq's Nineveh Plains flooded into Erbil in one night alone. The influx of refugees from 13 Christian towns and villages has "changed the face" of Erbil, the cardinal said. With the population of the region ballooning by 30%, a financial crisis has been brewing for several months following a budget dispute with Baghdad. BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen says the delicate mosaic of different faiths in the area has been shattered since the US-led invasion of 2003. The population of Iraqi Christians has fallen by half and a very diverse, deeply rooted Christian tradition has suffered grievous blows, our correspondent says. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Cardinal Nichols said he went to Erbil to "express solidarity" with the people who have been traumatised. Returning home "full of admiration" for the local churches, he said the tens of thousands of people sleeping in parks last year had now all received "solid accommodation" in caravans or houses but this was just the first step. "They want their villages back - the IS threat has got to be pushed back territorially," the cardinal said. Yet even if IS do leave, the cardinal pointed out that "specialist help" would be needed to make the villages safe to live in. He said: "We know IS - they are just destroyers - they would leave villages not only wrecked but booby trapped". The fabric of the society "really depends on the presence of Christians", the cardinal added. Notices have been put up in the Costcutter supermarket at the Ráth Mór shopping centre in Creggan. Management said it would: "Reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone wearing bed-time clothing i.e. pyjamas, onesies in this store." Shop staff said the sign had been up "for some time". The BBC have asked Costcutters for a statement. Earlier this year, Tesco 'shrugged off' a complaint from a customer to ban shoppers wearing nightclothes in its stores. The club started the 2015 season as Women's Super League champions, but finished second from bottom, five points above relegated Bristol Academy. Since then, Scott Rogers has replaced Matt Beard as manager and the squad has seen nine players leave and another nine come into the squad. "The mood's completely different," 22-year-old White told BBC Sport. "Last year we had a really close connection as a team, but towards the end of the season, we fell apart a little bit. "There's a new vibe, new energy, new players and new personalities. No one's too worried about what happened last season, we've put that behind us." White was speaking from Liverpool's pre-season tour of South Africa, where they beat Yarona Ladies in Soweto on Sunday and will face Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday. After nine players left the club during the transfer window and another nine were signed, White said the trip has been vital in helping to bring the revamped squad together. "It's such an awesome opportunity, spending more quality time together and training in the heat," she continued. "We've got almost a completely new team and it's been really good for us to cement those relationships and gel even more. It's so beneficial to us going into the season, on and off the field." Despite last year's disappointing campaign, New Zealand international White says the appointment of new boss Rogers convinced her to stay with the club for 2016. "I was a little apprehensive at first, but I had a lot of trust in Scott and he was really keen to keep me on," she said. "He's done a really good job to bring together a good group of players and it's going to be an exciting season for us. "We don't really have any massive expectations on us, I think we'll probably come in as underdogs. "We're just looking forward to this season and seeing what we can do with this group of people." Liverpool Ladies start their new campaign with a home game against Birmingham City Ladies on Wednesday, 23 March. The £8m facility in Thornton will be opened on Wednesday, 20 April. The new complex includes 12 grass pitches, two 4G pitches, a gym, meeting rooms and a restaurant, as well as seven changing rooms and office space. Facilities will not just be for the Cod Army's first team and youth team, but also open to the public. "Not only is Sir Alex a legendary manager but someone whose track record in discovering, honing and developing young home-grown talent is second to none," said Fleetwood chairman Andy Pilley. "We really hope that now we have Premier League-standard training facilities and an academy to match, we can find and develop that raw talent which will not only be good for the future of Fleetwood Town but the players and future players themselves." Their first league contest in four years proved a one-sided affair as Moussa Dembele's treble helped Celtic open a four-point gap on their rivals. "It's game five of a long season," Warburton said. "We don't see a major gulf. We just got beat 5-1. "They have bragging rights and deserved to win." Media playback is not supported on this device The former Brentford manager saw new signing Joe Garner give his side a lifeline with a goal just before half-time to reduce the deficit to 2-1. However, he accepted the blame for their crushing defeat after going for broke once Scott Sinclair had made it 3-1 to Celtic just after the hour. Warburton replaced one forward, Kenny Miller, with another in Martyn Waghorn. But when centre-back Rob Kiernan limped off injured after 72 minutes, he sent on winger Harry Forrester, rather than another central defender in Clint Hill. The move backfired when Philippe Senderos picked up a second yellow card for handball shortly afterwards, and midfielder Joey Barton was forced to play as a lone centre-back. "The sending off I can't defend, it's a red card but we had a choice to make, 'do we go for damage limitation or do we look to try and get something out of the game?' said Warburton, who conceded his side had conceded "poor" goals prior to that. "That was a choice I made, no-one else, put on Harry, put on Waggy, be positive and try to get a second goal. "Apologies to the support because they were magnificent. But at 3-1 that was my call to try to get something from the game." 24 February 2016 Last updated at 16:50 GMT While Oasis may have walked away with the prizes for best album, group and video in 1996, the ceremony was also remembered for Jarvis Cocker's unscheduled appearance at Earl's Court. The Pulp frontman caused a storm by jumping onstage during Michael Jackson's performance of Earth Song. He was arrested but no charges were brought. The awards also provided a public farewell to Take That who had previously announced they were to go their separate ways. Video produced by BBC Rewind It follows Malawi's early exit from the recent Cosafa Cup at the group stage. Former midfielder Mtawali, 49, took over the national team in August 2015 but has paid for his record of six wins, six defeats and four draws. Ramadahan will return as caretaker coach, however, to oversee Malawi's match against Swaziland in September. The match, to be played on 3 September in Blantyre, is Malawi's last in their failed campaign to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. Malawi's chances of making it to next year's finals in Gabon were ended in June when they were beaten by Zimbabwe in Harare. Malawi are bottom of Group L with only two points. The Football Association of Malawi said Ramadahan would take charge of the team for a month from 10 August so Malawi can complete their fixtures. On Saturday, FAM's technical sub-committee had recommended to the executive committee that Mtawali should be sacked and Ramadahan installed as caretaker coach. It claimed Mtawali had been leading Malawi single-handedly and that he lacked the skills required to improve things at the national team. The FAM technical sub-committee also recommended the appointment of an expatriate coach but the Malawi government stated it has no money for a foreign coach. Luisa Ortega, a critic of left-wing President Nicolás Maduro, said she rejected her dismissal, condemned by other Latin American countries. She will face trial for "serious misconduct", the supreme court says. Meanwhile, the regional bloc Mercosur has suspended Venezuela "indefinitely". The group says the country will not be re-admitted until political prisoners are released and the constituent assembly is scrapped. Venezuela had been suspended temporarily in December for not complying with the bloc's regulations. On Saturday the assembly, which is dominated by government supporters, decided to remove Ms Ortega, 59, from office in a unanimous vote. Ms Ortega was prevented from entering her office in the capital, Caracas, by dozens of National Guard officers in riot gear, and left on a motorbike amid chaotic scenes. In a statement (in Spanish) released by the public prosecutor's office, she said Mr Maduro's government was leading a "coup against the constitution". "I do not recognize the decision," she said about her dismissal. "[This is] just a tiny example of what's coming for everyone that dares to oppose this totalitarian form of ruling." The supreme court, loyal to Mr Maduro, did not give details of the accusations against her. Ms Ortega, who broke ranks with the government in March, had opposed the assembly's inauguration on Friday, citing allegations of voting fraud. Tarek William Saab, a supporter of President Maduro, has been sworn in as her replacement. Her removal was widely expected but the fact that it was decided on the first working day of the assembly suggested that the new body could take aggressive measures against Mr Maduro's critics, correspondents say. Mexico, Peru and Colombia have condemned her dismissal. Mr Maduro says the constituent assembly is needed to bring peace after months of protests sparked by severe economic hardship. But the opposition says it is a way for the president to cling to power. The new body has the ability to rewrite the constitution, and could override the opposition-controlled parliament, the National Assembly. Julio Borges, speaker of the National Assembly, said Ms Ortega's removal was illegal and showed that the country's institutions had been "taken hostage by only one hand, only one political party" through "an undemocratic mechanism that is utterly dictatorial." Despite being oil-rich, Venezuela is experiencing severe shortages of food and medicines, as well as inflation in excess of 700%. Violent demonstrations since April have left more than 100 people dead. The group posted a profit of 527m euros (£433m) in 2013, compared with losses of 613m euros the previous year. Although Spanish carrier Iberia reported a loss, it had made "huge progress" because of restructuring, the group said. British Airways had benefited from extra Heathrow slots from the integration of BMI, it added. "In 2013, we strengthened the group by acquiring Vueling, embarking on Iberia's transformation and enhancing British Airways' revenue performance," group chief executive Willie Walsh said. "This has led to a strong financial recovery and return to profitability, with a turnaround of nearly 800m euros." In a BBC interview, Mr Walsh said he was not worried about British Airways' prospects if Scots were to vote for independence from the UK. "If anything, it [Scottish independence] will be slightly positive, since we believe it will abolish air passenger duty," he told BBC Breakfast. The referendum on independence will be held on 18 September 2014. Iberia has dragged on IAG earnings since the group took it on in 2011. For example, in the first quarter of 2013, IAG reported a net loss of 630m. But the Spanish carrier had "made huge progress" as a restructuring plan played out, Mr Walsh said. "Recent pay and productivity agreements between Iberia and its pilot and cabin crew unions are key to reducing the airline's costs further and providing the foundation for profitable growth," he said. Cost-cutting and productivity improvements at Iberia had contributed to a healthy share price for IAG, Hargreaves Lansdown analyst Keith Bowman said. "The share price is up by around 105% over the last year alone, outperforming the broader FTSE 100 index by an impressive 98%," said Mr Bowman. William McMahon, 68, from Kirkcaldy, was sentenced at the town's sheriff court on Monday. McMahon was found guilty of intentionally or recklessly injuring a fledgling gull contrary to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 in August. It follows an investigation by the Scottish SPCA. The animal charity welcomed the fine. John Chisholm, of the Scottish SPCA, said: "McMahon was witnessed taking a large golf umbrella out the boot of his car and proceeding towards the gull chick, which was in his garden. "When the bird ran into the next garden, McMahon was seen leaning over the fence and striking it with the umbrella. "The gull was clearly injured and concerned locals put it in a box before contacting us for help." He added: "We took the bird to our National Wildlife Rescue Centre where it was found to have a broken leg. "Sadly, it was in a great deal of pain due to the severity of the fracture and had to be put to sleep to end any further suffering. "This was a deliberate and callous act of animal cruelty against a defenceless young bird and we welcome McMahon's conviction." Mark Thompson says he has emails which show that trust members, including the chairman Lord Patten and a senior BBC boss, approved the payments. The BBC has been criticised for paying £2m more than contracts necessitated. The BBC Trust says the claims are bizarre and it denied MPs were misled. In a letter to MPs investigating the issue, Mr Thompson says statements by the trust's chairman were inaccurate, information was kept from the National Audit Office and the head of human resources misled MPs over her involvement. The 13,000-word document was prepared ahead of his appearance before the Public Accounts Committee on Monday, where he will be expected to answer allegations made in July that he had not been open with the trust about pay-offs to two senior executives. The document included a briefing note prepared for Lord Patten on defending the size of the payments. Another attachment challenged the BBC head of human resources Lucy Adams' claim that she did not know of an email explaining the pay-offs, and appeared to show that she helped to compose it. He also claims the trust did not reveal its full involvement with the pay-offs to the National Audit Office. Media commentator Steve Hewlett said the letter raises "serious questions". He said Lord Patten's position could be called into question "if Mr Thompson's argument prevails". Mr Hewlett added that if it appears that Mr Thompson, who is now chief executive of the New York Times "where executive ethics are a top drawer issue, has misled the Trust, then it is going to be very difficult for him". The BBC Trust said: "We reject the suggestion that Lord Patten and Anthony Fry misled the PAC [Public Accounts Committee]. "We completely disagree with Mark Thompson's analysis, much of which is unsubstantiated." It added that it was looking forward to putting its side of the case to the Public Accounts Committee next week. The hearing is a follow-up to that which took place in July and saw Lord Patten tell MPs he was "shocked and dismayed" by pay-offs totalling £25m to senior managers. He said that if Mr Thompson was called before MPs, he would be "as interested as you are, why we didn't know". Lord Patten said he had "no concerns at all" about the statements made by Mr Thompson and was "looking forward" to appearing before the PAC on Monday. Speaking outside his home on Friday, he said it was "very curious" that Mr Thompson should focus on the £949,000 payout to his deputy, Mark Byford, as that happened before he became chairman of BBC Trust. Mark Thompson has said previously that the BBC Trust knew about the severance payment to Mr Byford, which included £73,000 for unused leave, saying they had been told "in writing, as well as orally". It is understood the outgoing BBC HR director Lucy Adams will also give evidence at Monday's hearing. Brighter Later is a collection of diptychs taken on the shores of Britain, looking out to sea. Stevens's pictures reflect our island nation and at the same time capture the greyness that so often covers much of the country. "This is not the Mediterranean light of Matisse but the same tones that were known to seamen leaving naval ports, fishermen following the herring along the east coast, immigrants from Ireland and emigrants to the new world," says Stevens. The work is beautiful and, considering its lack of content, very engaging. It was inspired by WG Sebald's The Rings of Saturn, which says of anglers along the shore near Lowestoft: "I do not believe that these men sit by the sea all day and all night so as not to miss the flounder rise or the cod come in to shallower waters, as they claim. "They just want to be in a place where they have the world behind them, and before them nothing but emptiness." That feeling of emptiness is found in each frame, and Stevens feels this can mean different things to each of us. "To me it was a space wanting to be filled, a space of optimism and possibilities," says Stevens. "Looking out to sea, you truly are looking into the future. "Seeing the weather and the waves that will at some point arrive at the shores of this island, you predict their inevitable, unstoppable approach." The idea for the diptych form came from Stevens's youth, when he remembers looking out to sea to "stare at landscapes first through the left eye and then through the right". The pictures are simply presented with their location, the rest is up to the viewer. Here is a selection of pictures from Brighter Later, which has been published by Tartaruga. You can see more of Brian David Stevens's work on his website and his blog, Drifting Camera. A previous post I wrote on Stevens's project on military veterans is well worth a look, and in sharp contrast to his latest work. It is likely to allege that the technology firm uses that position to direct search traffic to its own businesses, such as Google Shopping. Some people call that market abuse, a claim Google firmly denies. Although this is a significant moment, as with anything to do with the European Union, it is another stage in a slow process which is likely to take a number of years to resolve. I first reported on the launch of the investigation back in 2010 before the last general election. At that stage, Google wanted to resolve the issue by offering remedies on how it ordered search results. It had seen how Microsoft had become bogged down in years of competition warfare with the European Union over how it "bundled" its products, and ended up being fined £1.5bn anyway. Google's proposal was to make links to rival services much more prominent. But with a legion of critics within European governments and across media and technology businesses, each attempt failed. The technology campaigning organisation, ICOMP, said of expected developments: "A statement of objections represents a formal finding by the Commission that Google is dominant and that its actions have caused harm to businesses and consumers in Europe. "If confirmed, this is an important step towards a successful return to a fair and competitive online marketplace that will be welcomed by our members." Unsurprisingly, Google does not concur. And in a leaked internal memo to "Googlers", it lays out its case. At its simplest, Google says that "with competition just a click away", the notion of dominance in technology markets is different from, say, dominance in the energy market. It is easy for consumers to use other search services such as Bing and DuckDuckGo as well as social media platforms Facebook and Twitter. Search is also changing rapidly and is not itself the essential powerhouse of commercial success it used to be. Google says that on mobile phones for example, seven out of every eight minutes is spent within apps, rendering mobile search a much less important function. This, of course, is a threat to part of Google's business model as consumers use mobile as their digital entry point of choice. In shopping, which is expected to be the focus of the European Commission's announcement today, Google says that eBay and Amazon are much more powerful online than Google Shopping, for example. It is certainly true that Google is dominant in search, with more than a 90% share of the market across Europe. Google claims that is because it offers the best service which is most relevant for us, the consumers, who carry out three billion searches every day. Detractors say it has used its position to skew the market in its favour. ICOMP, which is no fan of Google and lists arch-rival Microsoft as one of its supporters, puts the threat like this: "Google stands accused of manipulating its search results to systematically favour its own services and demote or exclude those of its rivals, thereby diverting vast quantities of traffic and revenues away from competitors and to its own growing stable of competing services." It says that Google has "all but eradicated" the price comparison web market and is embarked on a similar course on travel search and financial price comparison. Because consumers think we're better, Google might say. It will be for the EC to decide if its dominance goes too far. So the European Union's competition commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, has confirmed that the EU has lodged a statement of objections against Google for market abuse over search and its Android mobile platform. She argues that Google's dominance is not the problem. Rather, it is what Google does with that dominance that matters: ie, it puts its own businesses such as Google Play, YouTube and Google Shopping ahead of other competitors when customers search for products. ``It is not based on the merits of Google Shopping that Google Shopping always comes up first [in search],'' Ms Vestager said. ``Dominant companies have a responsibility not to abuse their powerful market position.'' Google's response to the European Commission can be found here. At its simplest, the company says that competition in the search and mobile phone market has never been more intense. Which shows that the market is working and that consumers have real choice. If they use Google, it is not because they have to. It is because it is the best. The photoreceptors that help us see in dim light developed from colour-detecting cone cells in Jurassic mammals, according to genetic evidence. The evolution of night-time vision is regarded as a landmark event in the rise of mammals. A nocturnal lifestyle allowed the first of their kind to avoid predatory dinosaurs, say scientists. Co-researcher Dr William Ted Allison of the University of Alberta, Canada, said the development of night vision was a "critical step" in the dominance of mammals. "We're learning how mammals evolved their vision to survive at night-time and avoid dinosaurs," he told the BBC. "That's what allowed mammals to diversify and become abundant in the world. "They did that by switching their daytime vision in the cones to allow night-time vision using their rods." Rods and cones Genetic research published in the journal, Developmental Cell, suggests the light-sensitive rod cells in our eyes originally developed from colour-detecting cone cells millions of years ago. Early mammals lived alongside dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago, adopting a nocturnal lifestyle to avoid being attacked when dinosaurs were active by day. It has been a mystery how early mammals evolved the night vision that enabled them to survive and prosper. Anand Swaroop of the National Eye Institute, part of the US National Institutes of Health, commented: "The majority of mammals have rod-dominant retinas, but if you look at fish, frogs, or birds, the vast majority are cone-dominated - so the evolutionary question has always been, 'What happened?'" The researchers analysed the genetics of rod and cone cells in mice, zebra fish and other animals. They found there was a switch towards a dominance of cones over rods in early mammals. "...Early mammals changed one type of cell from capturing UV light - which isn't necessary at night - to something that is just extremely sensitive to light," said Dr Swaroop. Humans depend more on cones for our vision, but that happened later when our ancestors evolved to take advantage of the daylight hours again. Follow Helen on Twitter.

The 30-year-old finished safely to take the win by 11 seconds from Samuel Sanchez and Thomas Voeckler. The final stage was won by BMC's Ben Hermans who claimed a great solo win after a demanding 167km, which included six climbs from Wakefield to Leeds. Nordhaug, who became Team Sky's leader after Ben Swift crashed out, was sixth over the line on Sunday. Sanchez attacked 37.5km from the end but Nordhaug responded to pip the Spaniard to the single remaining bonus second in the final intermediate sprint and crossed the line on Sanchez's wheel to seal his Tour win. Thousands of fans lined the route, as they had done the previous two days, and glimpsed British Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins, who finished in the peloton, five minutes behind the winner. The top British rider overall was Erick Rowsell, younger brother of Olympic champion Joanne, who came eighth, 1min 21secs behind winner Nordhaug. 1.

"I've never taken a weekend [off] because it was so difficult for me to gain the freedom to write and draw." Mr Gao became the first Chinese-born writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2000, although his win was largely ignored by China, where his works have been banned for years. His Nobel win and subsequent renown was a long way off from his early life in China, where he feared for his safety during the Cultural Revolution and was forced to burn his writings in secret to avoid persecution. Mr Gao, who moved to France in 1987 and has not returned to China since, said his experiences left him feeling as if he had lived "three lives" already. "My first life was in China, and I left China in the end," he said. "I began writing, drawing and acting from a young age, and I set up a theatre group when I was at university, but in all these areas I faced a lot of problems and political interference, until in the end my plays were banned and I couldn't publish my works." During China's Cultural Revolution, a decade-long political campaign where millions were denounced and tens of thousands killed, intellectuals were at particular risk of persecution. Mr Gao felt the need to burn all of his early works to avoid being denounced. Nonetheless, after being relocated to the countryside for "re-education", he continued to write in secret, burying his writings underground. "I could only write in secret, and when it came to burning, I had to burn them in secret too," he said, describing that period as a "red terror". Mr Gao, who wrote about his experiences in his novel One Man's Bible, was not keen to talk about that time, a period he described as his "distant past". However, he said that it was important that this era was remembered. "People haven't written enough about this sort of terror. We should make sure this historical experience is known to future generations, to ensure it does not happen again." The experience has given him strong views about the role of literature as well. "Art and literature need to break free from politics to achieve total freedom," he said. "I don't advocate literature interfering with politics either. Otherwise, it becomes a political weapon or tool." He continued to face censorship in China after the Cultural Revolution ended, with plays including Bus Stop and The Other Shore banned. In 1987, he was able to travel to France as a painter and began what he described as his "second life". Mr Gao sought political asylum in France and was granted French citizenship in 1998. "After I went to France, I finally had an environment where I could work freely," he said. "So you could say I worked extremely hard, but I was very happy." "Gaining artistic freedom, and achieving my dream [of making films] all came true one by one." His third life began abruptly in October 2000, when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. "I had just got the call," he said. "I didn't even have time to change my shoes - I was still at home in my slippers, and the reporters were already at the door. They knew about the award before me!" "I opened the door to a whole bunch of people, and from then on, it was like being caught up in a storm." He fell ill after being inundated with media requests while continuing to work on his art and writing full time. "I didn't want to become a media figure, so I kept working," he said. "Of course it was very hard work doing both. After I recovered I decided I had to avoid giving interviews as much as possible." "This is the only way I managed to continue to create so many works - I think it's important for an artist to speak through their works." Despite spending close to 50 years in China, Mr Gao says he has little interest in China now. He admits that he has not read any works by Mo Yan, the second Chinese-language author to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, who Chinese authorities laud as the first Chinese writer to win the prize. "There are a lot of changes going on in China, but I don't understand them," Mr Gao said. "My concern now is Europe and its cultural traditions. In the 21st Century, with globalisation, pollution, all this political noise and advertisements everywhere, where is the place for solemn art and literature now?" "Under today's conditions, how do you find fresh ideas, and how do you draw out contemporary arts and culture from the traditions of the Renaissance period?" "I think today, we are facing not just an economic crisis, but a crisis for culture and the arts." Despite what he describes as the challenges facing modern art and literature, Mr Gao still appears optimistic and animated when talking about his future plans. "I have lots of invitations and upcoming projects - in fact, I'm fully booked until 2016!" "I have an exhibition in March in Paris, but I haven't finished my drawings yet." Russian track and field athletes are banned from Rio 2016 after claims of a state-sponsored doping programme. Putin said: "Sport must be clean and the health of athletes must be reliably protected." He wants Vitaly Smirnov, 81, to lead a new anti-doping commission. Smirnov is an honorary International Olympic Committee (IOC) member and an experienced Russian and Soviet sports administrator. Putin said he had an "absolutely unimpeachable reputation'' and "the trust and respect of the Olympic family". The Russian leader wants the new commission to provide "rapid development and tough control for the effective realisation of a national plan on the fight against doping". In an earlier statement, he said: "Everyone knows very well the situation around our application for the Rio Olympics, and the well-known decisions associated with the use of doping. "In this connection, I want to stress once again: the official position of the Russian authorities, the government and the president, all of us, is that there can be no place for doping in sport." Separately, the IOC is considering calls to ban all Russian competitors from the Rio Games following a second report into state-sponsored doping. It found evidence of Russian urine samples being "manipulated" across the "vast majority" of summer and winter Olympic sports from late 2011 to August 2015. Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev said he was "saddened" by the "unacceptable" prospect of a total ban on Russian competitors. Gorbachev, the last General Secretary of the Soviet Union, has written an open letter to the IOC. In it, he said: "I support the fight against prohibited substances in sport. It is evil that must be eradicated. Those athletes who are proven to have doped should be banned from competitions. "I am deeply worried by the fact there also were Russian citizens among officials and athletes who used doping and falsification for the sake of 'victory at any price'. "At the same time, I am concerned and deeply saddened by the possibility that in case all Russian athletes are banned from competing in the Olympic Games, the innocent will be punished together with the guilty. "The principle of collective punishment is unacceptable for me. I am convinced that it contradicts the very culture of the Olympic movement based on universal values, humanism and principles of law."

Rolls-Royce said the job losses would be made from mid-2017 in an effort to make savings of between £45m and £50m. The marine business employs about 4,800 people in 34 countries, including about 400 people in the UK. Of the UK workers, half are based in Bristol and the remainder are in offices in the Midlands and a manufacturing site in Dunfermline in Scotland. The firm has not said in which countries the job losses will occur. Mikael Makinen, Rolls-Royce marine president, said: "The ongoing market weakness that has followed the dramatic fall in the price of oil continues to have an adverse impact upon our order book and profitability. "We have made significant progress in transforming Marine into a far more agile and simplified business than we were and we have to take further steps to address our cost base. "Reducing our workforce is never an easy decision, but we have no option but to take further action beyond the changes we have made to date." The cuts will involve members of the senior management team, Rolls-Royce said. The company has been cutting costs for about three years in an effort to make its marine unit more competitive. As well as plunging demand for marine engines and repairs, the aerospace firm has been hit by a slowdown in demand for high-margin aircraft engine servicing. Group profits are expected to halve this year. 14 June 2016 Last updated at 11:03 BST Clubber Joshua McGill said he was hiding behind a car in a car park when he saw bartender Rodney Sumter stumble around, bleeding profusely. Mr McGill used his own shirt to stop the bleeding from wounds in Mr Sumter's arms. Here he describes how he stopped the bartender from bleeding to death on their journey to hospital. Edinburgh, 46, was dismissed on Tuesday with the Gills 17th in the League One table and Scally unhappy with their form during 2016. "I am not even convinced I am going to go down the manager route as we are looking at other alternatives now," Scally told BBC Radio Kent. "We may have a head coach and a team of coaches, with a director of football." LISTEN: Gillingham chairman Scally on Edinburgh sacking He added: "There are lots of very good coaches out there who can do specific parts of the work. "There are lots who have done well at different levels and we are looking at a combination at the moment." Gillingham had been in the automatic promotion places in February last year, but a slump in form led to the Kent club finishing last season ninth in the table, five points off the play-offs. Their inconsistent form continued this campaign, with Scally criticising performances following the FA Cup defeat by non-league Brackley Town in November. The Priestfield Stadium side won just 13 of their 46 league games in 2016, and are eight points above the relegation zone. "The team is the most expensive one we have ever had under my reign, and the club's history," Scally said. "It isn't performing to the level I think it should be. If we carry on with the current performance there is a chance we will get dragged into a relegation battle." Scally, who returned to work this week after two months recovering from a heart operation, says he will have the managerial situation addressed "very quickly". Former Gills defender Ady Pennock is among the bookmakers' favourites to fill the vacancy with the first team next in action at Oldham on Saturday, 14 January. "I am feeling fairly good and strong but it is not the start to the New Year and my return that I wanted," Scally added. "There will be lots of names put forward, but people who have had a taste of Premier League and Championship football want to stay there. "There are lots of options and we have a number of applications, as always. There is no cheap option." The 21-year-old man and woman aged 29 from Poland - named as Daniel Fedec and Malgorzata Marczak by the Polish Embassy - were found in Debdale Avenue, Worcester, on Tuesday. The woman's death is being treated as murder. West Mercia Police said there were no previous reports of domestic violence. Police said they had been contacted by their families on Tuesday who were worried after not hearing from them since Sunday. Det Ch Insp Neil Austin said: "The death of the woman is being treated as suspicious and being investigated as a murder and the death of the man is being treated as non-suspicious." The show, in Leeds, started on 8 December and featured comedian Jimmy Cricket, actors Louis Emerick and Tupele Dorgu and reality star Scotty T. Emerick, best-known for his role in Brookside, said the cast had only been paid "a small percentage" of owed fees. Organisers Liberty Events Ltd said the move was due to "industrial issues". A statement said "applications for full refunds" for those with tickets for the remaining performances should be made to the White Rose Theatre box office. Scotty T, who stars in reality TV series Geordie Shore, left the production before Christmas after claiming he had received only 10% of his fee. Posting on Twitter, he said he had also loaned the production more than £7,000 "to cover accommodation and flooring for the venue". The production also featured the puppets Zippy & George from the TV show Rainbow and a digital projection of comedian Ken Dodd. A marquee was built on land next to the The Tetley arts centre in central Leeds to house the production. Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, Emerick said the cast was prepared to complete the final six shows. He said: "We turned up today with the intention of working and found out it had been cancelled, the place had started to be gutted out. "We've carried on working in good faith with promises the money would come forward, but that never happened." Liberty Events Ltd said it was with "deepest regret" the remaining shows had been cancelled and offered "sincere apologies to patrons". Fylde Conservative MP Mark Menzies said trying to get an answer out of the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) was like "speaking to a brick wall". The DWI said it would not comment until its investigation into the incident in Lancashire in August 2015 is completed. United Utilities found Cryptosporidium in the supply for about 300,000 homes. Cryptosporidium is a parasite that can cause extreme diarrhoea. which meant that all those affected had to boil their tap water for almost a month. People with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable. For them, symptoms of cryptosporidiosis can be severe and even life-threatening. Mr Menzies said he was writing to Andrea Leadsom, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, urging her to "shed some light" on the delayed report. "It's an incredibly long time," he said. "In fact, it is so long it is unacceptable." He said the outbreak "caused a lot of disruption, especially for people who are elderly or vulnerable". Mr Menzies said the DWI had not provided him with any answers, but it should have the tools at its disposal to at least update the public. He said: "Its been like speaking to a brick wall - the DWI has been quite arrogant." Householder Robert Willetts, from Warton, said: "I think it is disappointing we have not heard any more about what caused the contamination. "As a consumer you assume that this couldn't happen again, but it might be the wrong thing to assume." Gordon Marsden, Labour MP for Blackpool South, said: "I understand it might be difficult to find the problem, but I think United Utilities could be more open about what is preventing them coming to a definitive conclusion." Routine tests by United Utilities found traces of Cryptosporidium at Franklaw water treatment works outside Preston. It affected properties in Blackpool, Chorley, Fylde, Preston, South Ribble and Wyre and lasted for four weeks. A DWI spokeswoman said: "The Inspectorate remains very conscious of the level of interest in this investigation, but to avoid risks of prejudice or impediment to the course of justice, the publication of a report must follow the conclusion of this process." King, 27, played in 25 games on the way to helping the Foxes win the Premier League and is confident of a Gareth Bale-inspired Wales' chances in France. "We've got the best player in the tournament so why can't we win it," he told BBC Wales Sport. "They said we [Leicester] couldn't win the league at the start of the season so that's given us a bit of belief." The midfielder is currently with Wales in a pre-tournament training camp in Portugal. He has made 32 appearances for Wales since making his debut in 2009, and believes that Bale gives their side the edge over every other team in the tournament. "If you want to name me another that might be better than him then go for it," he said. "The way he can win a game on his own is something that not many players have the capability of doing." Bale will play for Real Madrid in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid on Saturday and will receive support from his compatriots. "Gareth's played a lot of football in his career, it's just going to be another game for him. Obviously it's a massive game and one which we want his team to win," King added. "We want him to arrive fit and ready to go but we're not nervous. We just hope he can get the win and that will bring him here buzzing." Who do you think should start at Euro 2016?

But since then she has built up a reputation as a controversial broadcaster and writer. LBC announced she will be leaving the station with immediate effect, just over a year after she joined to host a weekly show. Here are some of her most controversial moments from recent years. Earlier this week, Hopkins caused anger with when she tweeted that there must be a "final solution" in dealing with terrorists following the Manchester terror attack. She later changed the term "final solution" to "true solution", describing the earlier version as a "mis-type". But some Twitter users drew the comments to the attention of the Metropolitan Police, claiming they could incite racial or religious hatred. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the matter was being "reviewed and assessed by specialist officers". Earlier this year, food writer Jack Monroe won £24,000 in damages, plus £107,000 in legal costs, in a libel action against Hopkins after a row over two tweets, which Monroe said caused "serious harm" to her reputation. Hopkins was later told she could not appeal against the ruling. In December, she apologised to a Muslim family she accused of being extremists after they were refused entry to the US for a Disneyland trip. Mail Online, which published her claim, also paid £150,000 in libel damages to the Mahmood family. During his election campaign, US President Donald Trump tweeted UK politicians should take notice of Hopkins and her views. In December 2015 he called for a halt to Muslims entering the US. In response to Mr Trump's comments, Hopkins wrote in her newspaper column that he should not be demonised. "Thank you to respected columnist Katie Hopkins of the Daily Mail for her powerful writing on the UK's Muslim problems," Trump later said. In a 2014 TV documentary, Katie raised more eyebrows when she said fat people were lazy. She added that she would not employ fat people because they look lazy. She illustrated her point by managing to gain and then lose three stone in weight. In November 2015, students from Brunel University walked out of a debate where Hopkins was invited as a guest. Objections were raised to her attendance while during the debate about the future of welfare, students turned their backs to her and later walked out. In 2013 she caused upset when she said she would not let her children play with lower class children with names like Chardonnay and Tyler. She made the remarks during an appearance on ITV's This Morning programme. She admitted that she judges children by their names. But when she said she did not like children with geographical location names, it was pointed out that one of her children was called India.

Father Denis "Chrysostom" Alexander was one of several monks accused of abusing boys at the former Fort Augustus Abbey boarding school in the Highlands. He has always denied the allegations. He appeared via a video link at the hearing in Sydney and was refused bail. The full extradition case is set to be heard in May. In 2013, Father Alexander was confronted by BBC Scotland in Australia as part of a documentary into alleged abuse by monks at the school, which prompted a major police investigation. The BBC's correspondent in Sydney, Phil Mercer, attended the latest court hearing. He said: "His lawyer argued that he should be released given his age, a lack of mobility and various medical conditions. "It was discussed in court that Father Alexander has diabetes and hypertension and a history of falls, and the lawyer said that the former priest was not a flight risk and that his incarceration was punitive. "A lawyer for the British government said that being held in custody would not harm Father Alexander's health, and he also suggested that the former monk might be a flight risk, that he could be driven to a Benedictine monastery somewhere in Australia to evades the authority." After hearing from both sides, the magistrate decided Father Alexander should remain in custody until the full extradition hearing in three months time. The former monk's lawyer said he would fight extradition to Scotland. Father Alexander was returned by the Catholic Church to Australia in 1979 after allegations of abuse were made by a Fort Augustus Abbey pupil, and continued working as a priest for a further 20 years or more. He was stripped of his priestly faculties in 2013 after the BBC programme. The Supreme Court will sit in the City Chambers - normally home to the City of Edinburgh Council - until Thursday. It is the first time it has sat outside London in its eight-year history. Lord Neuberger, the president of the Supreme Court, said the move provided an opportunity for members of the public and lawyers to observe the workings of the court first-hand. A panel of five judges, including Lord Neuberger, are expected to hear three cases over the four days they are in the Scottish capital. They include a case about sham marriages and another relating to national planning policy. The third concerns the rehabilitation of certain types of prisoners. Lord Carloway, the Lord President of the Court of Session, will sit on the panel to hear this appeal. Lord Neuberger said: "We make every effort to ensure our proceedings are accessible throughout the UK via our free live streaming service. "However, nothing beats being able to observe courts at first hand. "We look forward to welcoming members of the public, as well as lawyers, during what is intended to be the first of a number of visits to the capital cities of the devolved nations." Lord Carloway said he was "delighted" the court was sitting in Edinburgh. He added: "I welcome the opportunity it provides for the public and the legal community in Scotland to see the court in action." The public will be able to watch the proceedings in the chamber or to view a live-stream on the court's website. The court will also share photos on Instagram. And its chief executive Mark Ormerod, will be giving a free public talk during the Edinburgh sittings, offering those who come to observe proceedings an overview of the Supreme Court building and how the Court uses its accommodation in central London. The presentation will begin in the council chamber at 16:15 on Wednesday. Ralston Graham's victims included a girl aged just four years old. The Langholm man was also placed on the sex offenders' register after a six-day trial at Dumfries Sheriff Court. Sheriff George Jamieson told him: "There is no punishment I can impose which fully reflects the horror experienced by the victims of your offending. " He added: "I cannot restore the lost innocence of their childhood." A jury found Graham had twice used lewd and indecent behaviour towards a girl in Langholm between 1976 and 1979, when she was aged between nine and 12. He committed a similar offence between 1988 and 1990 against a girl aged between four and seven. During the trial, the court heard evidence from his victims. Sentencing, Sheriff Jamieson said Graham took advantage of his position as a family friend to abuse one girl in her bedroom. "Even after all these years she recollected these events in a manner which spoke of the extreme sense of fear, hurt and distress she experienced as a result of your conduct towards her." He added: "The effect of your conduct on both victims has been profound and has extended into their adulthood." The court heard that Graham, who has been married for 55 years, was his wife's primary carer. He was found not guilty of two further charges of indecent behaviour in the 1970s and 1990s. London's blue-chip index was down 40 points, or 0.64%, at 6,230.79 points at close of trading despite Chinese stock markets posting their biggest daily gain for three months. Shares in RSA Insurance added 1.64%, while Royal Mail gained 1.60%. Dublin-based business support services group DCC was also a gainer, up by 0.48%. Broadcaster ITV was a big faller, shedding 2.59%. BHP Billiton suffered sharp falls, down 2.06%. Augustin Eden, analyst at Accendo Markets, said: "The FTSE 100 is still in the midst of sideways consolidation, but with a welcome test of last week's 6,280 ceiling and a close venture to 6,300." On the FTSE 250, Alliance Trust rose 2.46% after RIT Capital Partners made an approach for the investment firm. RIT confirmed talks on Tuesday, saying a merger possibility was at "a very preliminary stage of consideration". Shares in RIT fell 2.41%. In the commodities markets, Brent crude was up 0.18% $49.85. On the currency markets, the pound was down 0.76% against the dollar at $1.4528, and fell 0.72% against the euro to €1.3048. Allen, 22, tore a hamstring after scoring a try hat-trick while winning his fourth Wales cap in their 2015 World Cup win over Uruguay in September. He could face Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade on Sunday, 27 December. Failing that Allen would be back on New Years Day when Blues host Scarlets in the Welsh capital. A successful return would give Allen the chance to press claims for a Wales spot in the 2016 Six Nations. Health Minister Marcelo Castro said priority for testing would be given to pregnant women. Brazil has the largest known outbreak of Zika, which has been linked to a sharp spike in birth defects. Mr Castro also announced extra funds to speed up finding a vaccine for Zika. He said that the goal was to develop a vaccine "in record time". At the moment the only way to fight Zika is to clear standing water where mosquitoes breed. The aim is that the tests will speed up diagnosis and ensure patients get correct medical treatment fast. Since October around 3,530 babies have been born with microencephaly, which can lead to small heads and under-developed brains. Fewer than 150 cases of microencephaly were seen in Brazil throughout 2014. The US State Department confirmed its first case of a baby born with brain damage because of infection by the Zika virus. The baby was born in a hospital in Oahu, Hawaii. The Hawaii State Department of Health said the mother was believed to have contracted Zika while living in Brazil in May 2015 and that the baby was most likely infected in the womb. The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued an alert on Friday advising pregnant women to avoid travelling to Brazil and other Latin American and Caribbean countries where outbreaks of Zika have been registered. The travel alert applies to Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Suriname, Venezuela and Puerto Rico. Zika virus is transmitted by the Aedes species mosquito. The 13th seed trailed 5-2 in the first set but reeled off five straight games on her way to a 7-5 7-5 win. She will face world number one Serena Williams, who later beat 23rd seed Timea Bacsinszky, in Saturday's final. "It is a dream come true. I cannot believe it," said Safarova after converting a third match point. "I started slowly but tried to keep up the level and play really aggressively because that was the only way to win." Safarova made the Wimbledon semi-finals last year, but is through to her first Grand Slam final. The 28-year-old will try to match the achievement of her compatriot, Hana Mandlikova, who won the title in 1981. It was seventh seed Ivanovic, playing her first major semi-final since winning the title in 2008, who started better as she raced 5-2 ahead, only to crumble with the set in her grasp. Safarova reeled off five straight games and moved ahead early in the second, but there was another twist to come. Serving for a place in her first Grand Slam final at 5-4, the Czech double-faulted three times - once on match point - before giving up her serve with a net cord. Ivanovic, 27, could not capitalise, however, handing the initiative straight back, and at the second time of asking Safarova closed it out before falling to the clay in celebration. "The game at 5-4 I was really overthinking and couldn't really concentrate to be there in the moment," said the Czech. "My serve wasn't working and, yes, I was a little bit fighting with everything on the court at that moment. "But when I lost the serve, I shook it off and started to play aggressive again, and then I served it out." Ivanovic said: "I really started well, like every other match. I really had a good plan coming into the match, but I just felt like I ran a little bit out of gas. "I started dropping short and she played really, really well. She was very aggressive." If Argyle win their second-round replay at Newport County, they will earn a first-ever FA Cup trip to Anfield. "Potentially it's very lucrative, whether it's on TV or not," he said. "Obviously it would enhance it if we're selected, but one would expect the gate at Anfield to generate a fairly significant return for us." Argyle's local rivals Exeter City drew Liverpool at the same stage last season and forced a replay after a 2-2 draw at St James Park. Both games were shown live on television and the club was thought to have made well over £700,000. But Starnes has urged Argyle supporters not to get caught up with the thought of a trip to Liverpool yet. "I don't think we should run away with ourselves at the moment from the financial advantages of getting to Liverpool, we've got to beta Newport and they're going to be a difficult nut to crack," he said. "We're always looking to improve things we're doing at the club, whether that's strengthening the team or improving facilities for the fans, so any additional funds that come in are really important." Media playback is not supported on this device Mr Miliband wants British territories such as Bermuda to be internationally blacklisted if they do not compile public registers of offshore firms. Bermuda's government said it had operated a central registry of companies since the 1940s. Gibraltar says Labour was being "unfair" as it was subject to EU rules. Mr Miliband has sent a letter to the leaders of the British Overseas Territories of Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, Gibraltar and Montserrat. He also contacted the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. He said that - under a Labour government - they would have six months to compile a register or face being put on an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development list of "tax havens" list, incurring sanctions. Bermuda premier Michael Dunkley said it remained open to dialogue with the UK. A statement from Bermuda's government said it had noted Mr Miliband's comments, but insisted it was an international leader in the registration of companies. Mr Dunkley said: "The government of Bermuda remains open to continuing dialogue with the UK government, the UK opposition, and all other interested parties, in sharing best practice across borders in areas of corporate transparency, and the fight against fraud and crime. "We would also remind Mr Miliband of Bermuda's strategic economic contribution to the UK, which includes direct and indirect employment in the UK of 100,000 people, as well as our role as a global hub for the reinsurance and insurance industries, providing the critical underwriting required for damage arising from natural disasters and terrorist events." Speaking on Sky News's Murnaghan programme, Gibraltar's chief minister Fabian Picardo, said: "The standards that apply in respect of financial services and their provision from Gibraltar are exactly the same standards that apply in respect of London, in respect of Frankfurt and the rest of the EU. "Therefore it is quite unfair to characterise Gibraltar as a tax haven." The leader of the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party added that ministers were adopting an anti-money laundering directive in September and it was "very unlikely" Gibraltar would find itself on the kind of list proposed by Labour. Labour argues overseas territories and crown dependencies could help to stop or stem tax avoidance by showing tax authorities who is diverting money into companies there. Chancellor George Osborne dismissed the Labour leader's plans saying he was "unfit to be prime minister" because he did not understand the current system. Speaking on The Andrew Marr Show Mr Osborne said: "If you actually look at what he's saying, he wants to blacklist every country of the OECD that doesn't have these central registers. "Britain is leading by example, it is having new central registers, it is insisting that its overseas territories transparently share information with us. "But the Labour leader is simply not fit for office because he does not think through the consequences of his anti-business, anti-enterprise and anti-our partners abroad policies." At the G8 summit in June 2013 the prime minster announced plans to tackle tax avoidance and has encouraged the UK's Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to implement their own public central register. So far none of the islands and outposts have followed the UK's lead, saying they will not make the change until there is international action. The River Allen is home to rare species such as white-clawed crayfish, Dorset Wildlife Trust said. It has been awarded £44,480 from Biffa Award and £15,000 from Sembcorp Bournemouth Water. The work will include restoring the natural flow of the river by planting small trees along the bank. The River Allen Project, a community partnership led by Dorset Wildlife Trust, will carry out the work. The trust said the work would provide more cover for crayfish to hide and vegetation for water voles to feed on. It added isolated populations of wildlife would also benefit as they would be able to "expand and move freely along the river". Amanda Broom, who manages the project at the trust, said: "Chalk streams are the richest river habitats for wildlife and the River Allen holds the strongest population in Dorset of rare wildlife such as the native white-clawed crayfish." Work will be carried out over the course of the year, avoiding the various breeding seasons of fish, invertebrates and birds. The River Allen Project aims to restore natural features along the river which have been lost due to work carried out in the past to straighten and deepen it. Biffa Award, which is managed by Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, uses landfill tax credits donated by Biffa Waste Services. The 42-year-old has been a youth coach at Leicester City since 2013 and has also been linked with joining Wolves. "[Permission] has been granted. It's whether we can take it any further," said Derby manager Nigel Pearson. "If we can secure the deal then he'll bring different ideas and different coaching methods to what we've already got here and I think that's important." Idiakez, who played for the Rams between 2004 and 2006 after joining from Rayo Vallecano, completed his coaching qualifications following his retirement in 2008. "He would be working with the first team," Pearson told BBC East Midlands Today. "That's not the reason for me wanting to add him to the backroom staff here. How we build a group of staff is with the same ethos as how we build a squad. "We want the best people available to be the team behind the team. There's a way to go yet." The Spaniard played under Pearson at Southampton in 2008 and assisted former manager George Burley at Cypriot side Apollon Limassol in 2012. "He's a very good coach. That's really all I need to say. He's somebody I've worked with as a player and I worked with him [as a coach] at Leicester," continued Pearson. "If we can secure the deal then he'll bring different ideas and different coaching methods to what we've already got here and I think that's important." A number of major Canadian, Norwegian, German and UK airlines have all pledged to change their policies. The UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it will "monitor the situation" as the crash investigation develops. Lufthansa said that no matter how good the security, ultimately nothing could stop a rogue pilot. Air Canada, Westjet and charter airline Air Transat, Norwegian Air Shuttle, major German airlines including Lufthansa and Air Berlin, Easyjet, Monarch Airlines, Virgin and Thomas Cook have all confirmed they are changing their safety policies. The change comes after UK airlines were told to review procedures following Tuesday's Alps crash in which 150 people died. The new procedures will mean that two crew members must always be present on the flight deck. The changes come after it emerged the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 had apparently locked himself in the cockpit before crashing the plane into the mountains below. Monarch Airlines have introduced the new procedure with immediate effect. Chief Operations Officer, Nils Christy said: "The revised protocol is now mandatory for all Monarch passenger flights. In addition to this change, we will continue to carry out our "eyes-on" checks where cabin crew regularly enter the flight deck during the cruising phase of the flight to check on the Pilot and the First Officer. " Budget airline Easyjet has said it will require two crew members to be in the cockpit of its aircraft at all times from Friday, 27 March. Canada's government have issued an immediate order requiring two crew members to be in the flight deck at all times. Transport Minister Lisa Raitt said the government is "reviewing all policies and procedures" and is "watching the situation in Europe closely". German Aviation Association, representing Germany's biggest airlines, including Lufthansa and Air Berlin, say they plan similar rules. Spokeswoman Christine Kolmar said the plan will be presented to German aviation authorities on Friday and the airlines will implement it "as soon as possible." A Virgin spokeswoman said: "We always ensure we have the highest safety standards and, while it is our common practice to have two members of our crew in the flight deck at all times, in light of recent events we are now in the process of formalising this to be policy. " And a Thomas Cook spokesman said: "We are adapting our procedures to ensure there will always be two people in the cockpit." In a Twitter exchange Monarch Air confirmed its policy already states that a member of cabin crew must stand in when it is necessary for the pilot or first officer to leave the flight deck. The CAA said it has told all UK operators to review procedures. All UK airline pilots undergo extensive and regular medical assessments to determine their fitness to hold a licence, it said. Examiners are required to assess a commercial pilot's mental health at each medical examination. Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said earlier the co-pilot, named as Andreas Lubitz, was alone in the cockpit of the Germanwings plane when it crashed in the French Alps. The co-pilot intentionally started a descent while the pilot was locked out, he said. Mr Robin, citing information from the "black box" voice recorder said there was "absolute silence in the cockpit" as the pilot fought to re-enter it. The Airbus 320 from Barcelona to Dusseldorf hit a mountain, killing all 144 passengers and six crew, after an eight-minute descent. Among those killed were Britons Paul Bramley, 28, from Hull, and Martyn Matthews, 50, from Wolverhampton. Seven-month-old Julian Pracz-Bandres and his Spanish-born mother Marina Bandres Lopez-Belio, from Manchester, also lost their lives, the Foreign Office said on Wednesday. The second "black box" - that records flight data - has still not been found as a massive recovery operation continues. The British Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) confirmed it has a "black box" expert working with French investigators who has been there since Wednesday. The move comes while Saudi King Salman is on a rare visit to Egypt during which he has announced plans for Saudi aid and investment for Egypt. Some Egyptians have been expressing outrage at the decision on the islands. But some Saudis have taken the opportunity to boast of their country's new possessions. An Egyptian government spokesman told the ONTV channel the decision on the islands had come after 11 rounds of negotiations by experts from the two countries over more than six years, the Associated Press reports. But some Egyptians were quick to see the deal as a sign of the country's weakness, saying Egypt had effectively sold the islands. Well-known satirist Bassem Youssef mocked the deal in a tweet suggesting President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi was selling the islands to the highest bidder in the style of someone conducting an auction. Other users commented that the giving up of the islands had led to a loss of legitimacy for President Sisi, and that it may even be in contravention of the constitution. Memes also appeared mocking the perceived blind loyalty of supporters of President Sisi, as opposed to the criticism levelled at previous Islamist President Mohamed Morsi. One joke circulated on Facebook goes that in answer to the question of whether the islands are Egyptian, "if Morsi sold them, they're Egyptian, but if Sisi sold them, they're Saudi". Some Saudi tweeters, in contrast, seemed to relish the opportunity to needle their Egyptian counterparts. Saudi Tweeter @_naiif10 mockingly used an Arabic hashtag meaning "Tiran and Sanafir are Egyptian" and asked: "Will you keep quiet or shall we move the pyramids to the Empty Quarter [in Saudi Arabia]? While another Saudi user, @QG_7H, posted several idyllic pictures of the islands and said "Now I'm planning a visit to our islands in the north, Tiran and Sanafir... Lovely views". Mr Adams was speaking at a republican Easter Rising commemoration in Carrickmore, County Tyrone. He said it was the Irish government's responsibility to ensure direct rule was avoided and an election held if no deal emerged. The current talks process is due to resume after Easter. Stormont's parties have yet to reach agreement on forming an executive six weeks after the assembly election. The political deadlock began after a snap election on 2 March brought an end to Stormont's unionist majority. Secretary of State James Brokenshire warned that either direct rule or another election will be the result of no agreement being reached by early May. However, Mr Adams told the commemoration the Irish government must ensure that an election took place. "The current talks process has paused. But let me be very clear, it is the British government's intransigence on legacy issues and the DUP's rejection of the principles of equality, parity of esteem and rights that have made it more difficult to reach a deal," he said. "Sinn Féin wants a deal. But if there is no deal then there has to be an election. "The role and responsibility of the Irish government must be to assert that an election is the only legal course open to the British government, if the current talks fail to elect an executive." He added that "progressive parties should not fear an election". Mr Adams also said that "if what we have seen from the DUP in recent times continues, that will only guarantee that there will be no DUP first minister and no return to the status quo at Stormont". Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing agreement, the executive must be jointly run by unionists and nationalists, with the largest party putting forward a candidate for first minister. Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness quit as deputy first minister in January in protest against the DUP's handling of a botched green energy scheme. The party said it would not share power with Mrs Foster as first minister until the conclusion of a public inquiry into the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. Mr McGuinness died last month at the age of 66. His headstone was unveiled as part of the Easter Rising commemoration in Derry's City Cemetery on Sunday, which was attended by Sinn Féin's deputy leader Mary-Lou McDonald. The eight-time winners of the series will take a year away from the sport to concentrate on the development of a new car running new regulations for 2017. The 33-year-old may still have a role in developing the car but the Northern Ireland man is weighing up his options. Meeke's team-mate, Norway's Mads Ostberg, has left the French team. The Dungannon driver finished second to world champion Sebastien Ogier in last week's Wales Rally GB and, with Ostberg, helped his team to second place overall in the Manufacturers' Championship. Meeke scored Citroen's only 2016 victory in Argentina in a season dominated by Volkswagen and finished fifth in the championship standings. The focus of Citroen in 2017 will be the defence of their World Touring Car crown. The British Gold Panning Association has won the rights to hold the event and will bring it to Moffat in 2017. Thousands of competitors and visitors are expect to descend upon the town for the championships. Richard Deighton, of the BGPA, said they were delighted to have seen off "worldwide competition" to win the rights to the "most prestigious event". "We are confident that the event will have a positive impact on visitor numbers and tourism for Dumfries and Galloway before, during and long after the world championships take place," he said. "We are thrilled with the support we have received in Moffat and feel it is the perfect showcase for gold panning." Adam Anderson, of the Moffat and District Community Council, said the event, in August 2017, should be a "truly memorable week". "Moffat is primarily a centre for tourism and this event will be a great boost to the local economy," he said. "I am sure that the opportunity to host these championships will be welcomed by everyone in the town." Mr Carswell, the party's only MP, has denied trying to stop an honour for ex-UKIP leader Mr Farage. Mr Farage accused the MP of "working for the Conservatives" and called for him to be expelled from the party. But Mr Carswell, who defected from the Tories in 2014, said: "I'm 100% UKIP." The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith said the decision on Mr Carswell rests with the party's ruling 18-strong National Executive Committee. He added that he had been told the MP's future would depend on his "attitude". On Tuesday The Daily Telegraph reported that in an email about the attempt to get a knighthood the MP had suggested Mr Farage should settle instead for an OBE for "services to headline writers". Mr Farage was asked about his row with Mr Carswell on BBC Radio 4's Today on Wednesday, saying that he was "not particularly" interested in a knighthood. He said: "He (Mr Carswell) has been working against us since the referendum... working with his Tory friends." Mr Farage said that he had wanted to "get rid" of Mr Carswell, who won the Clacton seat at the 2015 election, for a very long time. He said he did not want a seat in the House of Lords and thought it unlikely he could be offered a post with US President Donald Trump. Mr Carswell said he had an "amicable" meeting on Tuesday with party chairman Paul Oakden and was happy to continue to represent UKIP in the Commons. He said: "Contrary to a lot of speculation, we had a very polite and amicable meeting. I think he has done a wonderful job as party chairman." Meanwhile, UKIP donor Arron Banks suggested on Tuesday he could stand against Mr Carswell at the next election. The two have different views about UKIP's future direction and strategy. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said the UK market was cooling in line with forecasts, following a long period of record growth. The industry is likely to fall short of its ambition to produce more than two million cars a year by 2020, it said. The SMMT said uncertainty over Brexit was an added cause for concern. But a spokesperson for the Department for Exiting the European Union said the government was determined that the UK would continue to be "one of the most competitive locations in the world" for automotive manufacturing. The fall in production mirrored a decline in UK car sales. Over the first six months of this year, sales were distorted by a rise in Vehicle Excise Duty in April, which prompted drivers to bring forward purchases of new cars. But comparing the first six months of 2017 with the equivalent period in 2016 still showed a fall of 9.5% in UK sales, the SMMT said. Overseas demand for British-built cars has remained broadly steady in the first half of this year, falling only by 0.9% compared to the same period last year. As a result, total output for the year is 2.9% lower than a year ago. Independent forecasters are predicting output will pick up in the second half of the year, thanks to new and updated models coming into production. However the SMMT warns that output could fall in 2019, if the UK fails to secure a deal with the EU, or at least an interim agreement, that maintains current trading conditions after Brexit. The SMMT suggested a "hard" Brexit, with the UK leaving the EU single market and customs union, could result in a 10% hit to production. "Brexit uncertainty is not helping investment and growth is stalling.," said Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive. "The government has been in 'listening' mode but now it must put on the table the concrete plans that will assure the future competitiveness of the sector," The Department for Exiting the European Union spokesperson said: "The government's industrial strategy makes clear that we want to build on our strengths in advanced manufacturing in this sector. "Nissan's decision to continue its investment in Sunderland and plans by Jaguar Land Rover to double its output here are clear votes of confidence in our automotive industry. Earlier this week, BMW announced it would manufacture the new electric version of the Mini at its site in Cowley, Oxfordshire - a move welcomed by Business Secretary Greg Clark as a "vote of confidence" in the UK. However, that investment builds on existing production of the standard Mini, already taking place at Cowley. Analysts said the real test of confidence would come when carmakers decided where to build new models. The blaze broke out at about 01:00 BST at the premises on Canonbury Street in Berkeley. Four fire engines were called out to the two-storey building that was empty at the time. No-one was hurt. A number of people living nearby reported hearing a loud "pop" and were woken by the smell of smoke. The cause of the blaze has not been confirmed. Two judges in London rejected a judicial review application. Bamber challenged a refusal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) to refer his case back to the Court of Appeal as a miscarriage of justice. The CCRC, an independent body which investigates possible miscarriages, rejected Bamber's last appeal in April. The decision on Thursday follows a single judge rejecting Bamber's application for permission to seek judicial review of the CCRC's decision after he studied the case papers in private. Bamber made a renewed application dealt with by Sir John Thomas, president of the Queen's Bench Division, and Mr Justice Globe. Announcing the decision, Sir John said that having looked at the approach taken by the CCRC in the case he could not see "any way" in which a challenge could be made to the decision reached. "It seems to me that a challenge is impossible to mount," he said. The 51-year-old who is serving a whole-life term for the 1985 killings at a remote Essex farmhouse, has always protested his innocence. In April, the CCRC said that despite a lengthy and complex investigation, it had not "identified any evidence or legal argument that it considers capable of raising a real possibility that the Court of Appeal would quash the convictions". Bamber and two other killers have also started an appeal in the European Court of Human Rights against spending the rest of their lives in prison, claiming a breach of human rights. In a statement posted on his website, Bamber said: "It appears that the threshold for my case to be referred to the Court of Appeal is much higher than in most cases but that doesn't make me any less innocent. "The law, it seems, simply does not apply if it assists me in proving that I am wrongly convicted." The attacks took place between 08:00 and 09:00 (05:00-06:00 GMT) around Damascus, Homs, Tartous and Hassakeh. The deadliest incident was outside Tartous, home to a Russian naval base and in the heartland of President Bashar al-Assad's Alawite sect. The Islamic State (IS) group said it was behind the attacks. The group made the claim in a statement carried by its affiliated news agency, Amaq. Syria's official Sana news agency reported that 30 civilians were killed and 45 others injured in the Tartous countryside on Monday morning. First, a car bomb was detonated on the Arzoneh motorway bridge, a local police source told Sana. Then, as a crowd gathered at the scene to help the wounded, a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt, the source added. Tartous had been relatively unscathed by Syria's five-year civil war until May, when a suicide bomb attack on a bus station by IS militants left dozens dead. In the central city of Homs, four people were killed and 10 injured when a car bomb exploded at the entrance to the Bab Tadmour district, Sana reported. The governor of Homs province said the car bomb targeted a military checkpoint and that the casualties were soldiers. One person was meanwhile killed in a bombing on a road in Saboura, a heavily-guarded western suburb of Damascus, a police source told Sana. Opposition activist Yousef al-Boustani said the area was home to security officers and their families and that the attack represented a major security breach. In Hassakeh, an explosives-packed motorcycle was blown up at the Marsho roundabout, killing five civilians and injuring two others, Sana said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based group that monitors the conflict in Syria through a network of sources, said three of the dead were Kurdish security personnel, known as the Asayish. The Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) militia took near complete control of the north-eastern city last month after a week of clashes with government troops. The Syrian Observatory put the total death toll for Monday's attacks at 47. The attacks came as US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin discussed a ceasefire deal for Syria on the sidelines of the G20 summit in China. Mr Obama said he and Mr Putin had had "productive" discussions and had agreed to continue the search for a comprehensive truce. The US president said: "Given the gaps of trust that exist, that's a tough negotiation and we haven't yet closed the gaps in a way where we think it would actually work. "But my instructions to Secretary [of State John] Kerry and Mr Putin's instructions to [Foreign Minister Sergei] Lavrov were to keep working at it over the next several days." The US is particularly concerned by the deteriorating conditions in and around Syria's second city, Aleppo, where rebel-held districts are once again under siege after government forces advanced on Sunday. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, also at the G20, said he had urged world powers to create a "safe zone" in Syria, with a "no-fly" element, that would help control the flow of migrants. After Monaco keeper Morgan de Sanctis spilled an easy save, Julian Draxler tapped the opener into an empty net. Edinson Cavani added a second with a backheeled finish from Angel Di Maria's cross, before Blaise Matuidi added to an own goal by Monaco's Safwan Mbae. Marquinhos rounded off the scoring with a late rebound after a deflection. Unai Emery's side will now go on to play Angers in the final at the Stade de France on 27 May. Angers, 14th in Ligue 1, reached their first French cup final in 60 years with a 2-0 victory over Guingamp on Tuesday. PSG trail Monaco on goal difference at the top of the French league, but Leonardo Jardim's side, who host Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday, have a game in hand. Kylian Mbappe, Monaco's in-form 19-year-old striker, was not named in the squad against PSG, perhaps with that semi-final first leg in mind. Colombia forward Radamel Falcao was also rested, while attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva was on the bench. PSG, who won the domestic treble twice in a row under previous boss Laurent Blanc, beat Monaco to win the French League Cup final 4-1 earlier in April. The 33-year-old initially joined Essex on loan in 2013, before making a permanent move from Sussex the following season. But Panesar, capped 50 times at Test level for England, has made just three first-class appearances this season. He is one of four players released by Essex alongside all-rounder Greg Smith, seam bowler Matt Salisbury and wicketkeeper Saf Imtiaz. Panesar took his 700th first-class career wicket against Surrey at Colchester last month, but has not played a Test for England since December 2013 against Australia at Melbourne. He was made unavailable for selection by Essex earlier this season because of off-field "issues". It was the latest in a series of setbacks for the slow left-armer following an omission the previous season for a "timekeeping" error and an incident during his time with Sussex where he urinated on a bouncer outside a nightclub in Brighton. Panesar started his career at Northamptonshire in 2001 before making his Test debut in 2006 against India at Nagpur.

This suggests that the ability to cook food is deep seated and may have arisen in human ancestors millions of years ago. The conclusions also indicate that humans may have developed the ability to cook very soon after they learned how to control fire. The study has been published in one of the journals of the Royal Society. Surprising as it may seem, even boiling an egg requires advanced mental skills. Whereas other animals tend to start eating whatever food they find or hunt straight away, humans can store and cook their food, even if we are fairly hungry, because we know that if we wait what we eventually eat will taste better. It seems that our ability to smack our lips at the prospect of a delicious, well prepared meal requires a similar inspired leap of the imagination as producing art, developing language and creating the technologies that make us uniquely human. So when your mind wanders and thinks of a nice meal when you should really be paying attention to something else, be assured that it is this foodie forethought that makes us human. So when did we first develop this ability? To find out, according to Dr Felix Warneken of Harvard University conducted a simian MasterChef contest in which he conducted a series of experiments on chimpanzees to see whether they had what it took to be cooks. Clearly chimps can't cook and so there was no point in giving them a bag of shopping and letting them loose in a kitchen with assorted pots and pans, amusing though the spectacle might have been. Instead, Dr Warneken carried out a series of experiments to test the individual cognitive skills the chimps needed to be able to cook. He looked to see if they preferred cooked rather than raw food, whether they could wait until raw food could be cooked and if they would put raw food into a box that scientists switched for cooked food. He found that they passed all these tests and more. So why don't chimps cook? Not being able to control fire is one reason and another, according to Dr Warneken, is that cooking requires what he describes as "social skills" that chimps don't possess. By social skills he is not alluding to their unremarkable table manners nor their lack of witty dinner party conversation. Rather, it is their inability to trust others in their social groups not to steal their food while they are preparing to cook it that he is referring and it is this he believes is one of the key factors holding them back from being able to cook. Gulping something down as soon as you have foraged it is the surest way of keeping it safe. According to Dr Warneken, his experiments show that that most of the mental skills needed to cook were there in human ancestors between 5 to 7 million years ago and so all it took for the first emergence of the culinary arts was the controlled use of fire and the ability to trust other people not to pinch our food while our back was turned. "Trust is another component for cooking to become a practice in a social group," he said. "This is required in addition to the individual psychological capacities that we targeted in our experiments." The motivation for the study was to investigate a controversial theory that cooking was necessary for human brains to become larger. The idea by the primatologist Prof Richard Wrangham, also at Harvard, is that cooking enabled our ancestors to eat more protein, which helped our ancestors develop their brains. The results indicate that early humans had everything in place once they had learned to control fire and so, according to Dr Warneken, supports Prof Wrangham's ideas. "For this hypothesis to work humans must have adopted cooking fairly early in their evolution," he said. Experts in human evolution say that they find it "interesting" that chimpanzees and humans share several of the essential psychological capacities needed, but believe that the chimp study does not add much new information to the human story. Prof Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London said: "Cooking was an important milestone for humans in terms of making meat more digestible and neutralising pathogens and toxins, also for its social role, but best evidence for the ability to make fire at will only shows in the last 400,000 years". Fred Spoor, a professor at University College in London who studies human evolution, said: "Cooking did not happen until 300,000 to 400,000 years ago. That is late in 7 million years of human evolution, so to put it bluntly, who cares that early humans may have liked the idea of cooked food? Perhaps they would have liked eating naturally roasted carcasses of animals occasionally trapped in savannah fires, but that is not cooking." And as for the idea of cooking driving the transition to bigger brains? "Substantially larger brains initially emerge around 1.5 million years ago and a major leap was around 500,000 years ago," said Prof Spoor. "Hence, meat eating probably made this possible but whether roasting played a role at 1.5 million years ago is an open question, because there is poor or no evidence (for it at this time). Cooking at 500,000 years ago is more likely." Follow Pallab on Twitter

New research suggests that chimps have most of the mental capabilities needed to cook food.

Farmers staged a blockade at two stores in County Londonderry on Thursday and cleared milk from shelves at an Asda store in County Tyrone on Friday. Farmers for Action said milk was being sold cheaper than bottled water. But the Northern Ireland Retail Consortium blamed the fall in milk prices on "global economic trends". The consortium's director, Aodhán Connolly, said: "The price of water and the price of milk are completely different things. "What we have to understand here is that it's global economic trends, that are beyond the control of Northern Ireland farmers and Northern Ireland retailers, that are the root cause of the reduced price for milk at the moment." Mr Connolly told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme that the price retailers pay farmers "is not connected to the price they charge customers". "Individual retailers have decided to cut milk prices and they, not farmers, are paying for the price cuts that are currently being enjoyed by consumers," he added. Mr Connolly said Northern Ireland retailers buy as little as 10% of milk produced by dairy farms in Northern Ireland, while more than 85% was exported. He said exporters were being affected by the strength of sterling against the euro; the Russian ban on European Union products, the removal of EU quotas, shrinking markets in China and India and a "huge oversupply" of milk in the UK. However, Sean McAuley from Farmers for Action told the same programme that supermarkets were selling two litre containers of milk for "less than the price of one litre of water". "The farmer on the ground is not getting a fair slice of the cake because the corporate influence - the supermarket again - is taking far too big a slice of that." Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said: "We need a concerted effort at this moment in time from Europe, but in the longer term picture what we need is fairness in the supply chain "Farmers are the people who are being continually pushed when prices are being driven down - they are entitled to produce, they are entitled to receive a fair price for what they produce and if we don't have fairness in the supply chain, then we're not going to have sustainable farming into the future." Dairy farmers have warned in recent weeks that the financial losses they are facing will put many in their industry out of business. Mr McAuley said that message must be communicated to shoppers. He asked farmers to explain their plight to the public during protests but appealed to them not to prevent people from shopping. He also called on the EU to assist farmers by raising the intervention price to protect the dairy industry.

Retailers in Northern Ireland have defended supermarkets' milk pricing policy after protests by farmers over what they get paid for their product.

The announcement comes after London Underground (LU) made an increased but "final" pay offer in a bid to avert the action from 21:30 BST on Wednesday. Unions were given until 18:30 BST to accept the offer which includes a 2% rise this year and £2,000 for drivers on the new night Tube. Finn Brennan, a senior negotiator for Aslef, said unions were not being given enough time to consider the proposals. Almost 20,000 workers are due to take part in the industrial action. Aslef, the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) and Unite have been in dispute over the pay offered for the new night Tube service, which is due to start at weekends from mid-September. LU chief operating officer Steve Griffiths said in a message to staff that a "full and final" offer had been made in an attempt to conclude five months of talks. Mr Griffiths said he had set a deadline so if industrial action was called off LU could plan to provide the "best possible service" to customers. He added: "I have made this offer, as I firmly believe that providing you with certainty on your pay is the right thing to do. "We are not asking staff to work unlimited nights and weekends. Most of you will not be affected at all by night Tube when it's launched in September." LU's latest offer included an average 2% increase on basic pay, RPI inflation or 1%, whichever is greater, in 2016 and 2017, a £500 non-consolidated "launch bonus" to all staff on night Tube lines or at stations serving these lines. At the last minute London Underground has gone in big. There is a 2% increase for all staff, but there is also a "transition bonus" of £500 for staff on affected lines for the night tube and £2,000 extra for drivers. Yes, you read that right £2,000. So Tube drivers could get in total a £2,500 extra. Bonuses aside 2% is what Network Rail and the DLR awarded their workers - so that's in line with the industry. Members have already contacted me saying it is not enough for the loss of work-life balance. Transport bosses also offered a £2,000 "transition bonus" for drivers working on the overnight services. Previously a 0.75% pay increase with an additional payment of £250 for drivers was offered. Mr Brennan said unions were prepared to return to Acas for more talks on Tuesday, however they had been told the new offer "will be off the table by then". "This is playground negotiating. Having made no offer for three months, they give four unions one afternoon to consider a new offer," he said. "The strike will definitely go ahead - the company has said the offer is off the table" at 18:30 BST. The RMT described the offer as "divisive and unacceptable" saying the union's executive will be recommended to reject it. General secretary Mick Cash said: "While a small minority of staff are being offered a non-consolidated one-off lump sum the remainder of staff are ignored and the key issues of work-life balance and the personal health and safety concerns are sidelined." The TSSA union also rejected the offer and urged LU to return to the negotiating table. General secretary Manuel Cortes said: "This dispute is not just about pay but about how to run a safe and secure night Tube which serves the passengers as well as rewarding the staff. "That service cannot be imposed top down. It has to be negotiated around the table with the staff who will be expected to deliver it."

A 24-hour Tube strike will "definitely go ahead", a union has said.

Tory David Melding, who was deputy to Dame Rosemary Butler, said he was "at my best as one of life's lieutenants". Dame Rosemary stepped down as presiding officer and an AM at the election after five years in the post. A new presiding officer and deputy will be chosen by the new assembly at its first meeting, expected to be on Wednesday. "After much soul searching I have come to realise that I am at my best as one of life's lieutenants," the South Wales Central AM said on Monday. "For this reason I do not believe that I am the right person to lead the National Assembly through its next stage of development. "I am very grateful to family, friends and colleagues who have given me such generous support and provided me the space to make this decision. "Consequently, I will not seek nomination to become the assembly's presiding officer. "I look forward to making a full contribution to the work of the fifth Assembly and in particular initiatives to strengthen Welsh democracy and the efficiency of public services," Mr Melding added. The circular showed a picture of Grasmere in Cumbria saying: "Don't let fracking destroy this" and claimed that fracking chemicals could cause cancer. A former geologist and energy firm Cuadrilla complained to the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) saying the leaflet was "wholly inaccurate". FOE denied "misleading" the public. Cuadrilla said it was lodging an official complaint to the ASA and the Fundraising Standards Board about the leaflet, which it said included "numerous misleading assertions". The Oil and Gas Authority announced in August locations in England where licences to frack for shale oil and gas would be offered and Grasmere was not included. Cuadrilla confirmed there were no licences to drill in Cumbria. The Reverend Michael Roberts, the former geologist who has also complained to the ASA, said he had received a copy of the leaflet in a magazine in the past week. He wrote on his blog the leaflet's inclusion of Grasmere was "very odd, as these rocks, being volcanic contain no carbon-rich material whether coal, oil or gas". Tony Bosworth, climate and energy campaigner for Friends of the Earth said: "The leaflet is not misleading. The picture of Grasmere is illustrative of the sorts of areas which the government is opening up for fracking. "Worryingly, companies were invited to express interest in oil and gas exploration in parts of the Lake District National Park earlier this year, along with the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Peak District." The leaflet also claimed 25% of chemicals used during the fracking process could cause cancer. There was a high chance chemicals would contaminate drinking water, it inferred. A Cuadrilla spokesman said: "As Friends of the Earth is well aware, the UK Environment Agency does not permit the use of 'a toxic cocktail of chemicals' in fracking fluid for use in the UK and, in fact, only permits fracking fluid that it has assessed and tested as non-hazardous to groundwater. 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. "FOE's assertion is wholly inaccurate in respect of fracking in the UK and in respect of Cuadrilla. As such, the leaflet is likely to materially mislead readers," the firm added. The Rev Roberts said "there is no science to support that statement that frack fluid could end up in your drinking water". He said the leaflet's presentation of fracking was "inaccurate, flawed and misleading, along with its attack on Cuadrilla." Mr Bosworth said the Environment Agency had approved the use, by Cuadrilla, of a chemical called polyacrylamide, which he claimed contained acrylamide, a "probable carcinogen". He said there was a "growing body of evidence" showing "negative health and environmental impacts" from fracking and the process had been "put on hold" in areas like France and New York State because of these risks. Cuadrilla has appealed against a decision, made by Lancashire County Council in August, which refused permission to drill and frack at two sites in the county. James Larkin, 26, of Crawshaw Road, Doncaster, shook Christopher, his partner's baby, on 16 September 2014. He died in hospital the following day. Larkin was found guilty of manslaughter at Sheffield Crown Court. Both Larkin and Christopher's mother Laura Ostle, 21, of Broadway, Doncaster, were found guilty of perverting the course of justice. More on this and other stories in South Yorkshire Ostle was handed an 18-month jail sentence. Christopher suffered "unsurvivable" brain injury when he was "shaken so violently", the Crown Prosecution Service said. Mrs Justice Andrews, sentencing, said Larkin's action was "not the action of man gripped by panic, endeavouring to save a life, but the action of man who had been driven by anger, frustration, exasperation, or combination of all three, to completely lose his self control". Evidence heard during the case had portrayed him as "kind, loving and caring" towards the boy, she said. Mrs Justice Andrews said the most "extraordinary feature" of the case was how Larkin was treated like a "doormat" by Ostle. She said Larkin did most of the childcare, suffered a black eye at Ostle's hands and tolerated her relationships with other men. Senior Crown Prosecutor Julian Briggs called it an "absolutely tragic case", with Larkin and Ostle "thinking only of saving themselves". He said: "Unbelievably, Laura Ostle even texted Larkin from the ambulance taking the dying child to hospital in order to align their accounts." A serious case review into the death by the Doncaster Safeguarding Children Board found there were missed opportunities to intervene. The report said there was a "lack of curiosity by professionals" in what was happening within the family and information was not shared. Also it found there was "no evidence found of joint visits or working" between the various agencies involved. In a monthly report of business conditions, the Bank said the cost of manufactured goods would also rise. Companies which made bets to mitigate against last year's drop in sterling will soon see those bets expire, increasing their costs, it said. However, more exports and "resilient consumer demand" had encouraged more investment, the report said. "So far, the main effect on consumer prices had been higher food and fuel prices," said the central bank. "But a wider range of goods prices were expected to be affected over the coming year, causing inflation to rise further." Rising air fares and food prices helped to push up UK inflation to its highest rate since July 2014 in December. The annual rate of Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rose to 1.6%, up from 1.2% in November, according to the Office for National Statistics. And higher costs for imported materials and fuels pushed up producer prices. With the price of oil and many other raw materials being set in dollars, the pound's slide from as much as $1.49 last summer to about $1.25 today has raised costs for many businesses. February's report suggested a "slight rise in total labour cost growth in the year ahead" due to "difficulties in hiring and holding on to staff". It said costs from the forthcoming apprenticeship levy of 0.5% on company payrolls, would push up costs. The levy aims to raise £3bn a year and fund three million apprenticeships. But pay rises will be kept down by what it termed "economic uncertainty" and a difficulty in passing on cost increases to customers. The report from the central bank makes use of data gathered from its business contacts between late November 2016 and mid-January 2017. The Bank has 12 Agents based around the UK who gather economic and financial conditions affecting businesses in their area.

They are now 11th, in the relegation play-off place, and are four points clear of bottom with three to play. When asked if he thought the club were too hasty to get rid of him, McGhee said: "Of course I do. I left, as far as I'm concerned, prematurely." Stevie Robinson was promoted from coach to manager in the wake of McGhee's departure and the club have won two, lost five and drawn two Premiership matches under the Englishman. On Saturday they visit 10th-placed Hamilton Accies, who are level on 32 points with Well but have a better goal difference. McGhee, who was "shocked and disappointed" by the club's decision to sack him, is confident he would have steered the Steelmen to safety. "At the time I left we had a couple of injuries, particularly to the back four," he told BBC Scotland. "We were still cobbling together a few results. Some of our performances prior to that Dundee game (McGhee's last, which they lost 5-1 at home) had been very good. "I'd be comfortable to say I think I would have kept them up. I still think they should stay up. I think they have a squad strong enough to stay up. "They really shouldn't go down but they've got a job on their hands. They know how I feel about that. I'm disappointed to have left but they know I'm fully behind them in terms of hoping they do stay up." McGhee, who guided Motherwell to a third-place finish and European football during his first stint in charge from 2007 to 2009, also had spells as boss of Aberdeen, Bristol Rovers, Reading, Leicester, Wolves, Millwall and Brighton. And the Scotland assistant coach revealed he is keen to return to management as soon as possible. "It (the Motherwell sacking) certainly did not dull my appetite for working in football and for coaching," he added. "I'm open to offers. I've got a home here and a home in Brighton, so I can be in England or Scotland. I have a family and want to be close enough to them, but I want to work and work at a decent level." Researchers suggest these aggressive tactics - seen for the first time - could be used to build more effective antibiotics in the future. And this could help tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance, experts say. The early, laboratory-based study is published in the journal Nature, Scientific Reports. A team of researchers, including scientists from University College London, built tiny equipment, smaller than a single human hair, to measure any changes in mechanical forces when antibiotics were unleashed on bugs. They studied four different antibiotics and found the most effective ones were able to exert higher forces on the bacteria than less effective ones, "tearing holes" in the bugs. One antibiotic, Oritavancin, which is a modified version of the already well-known drug Vancomycin, was particularly good at employing this tactic. Researcher Dr Jospeh Ndieyira, from University College London, added: "No-one has really thought about antibiotics using mechanical forces to kill their targets before. "And these forces seem very important when it comes to how effective a drug is. "This will help us create a new generation of antibiotics to tackle multi-drug resistant bacterial infections, now recognised as one of the greatest global threats in modern healthcare." Meanwhile Dr Paul Hoskisson, from University of Strathclyde, said the research showed that there was still a lot to learn about the basic science of antibiotics and without this knowledge it would difficult to design better drugs. He added: "The paper also suggests that even by modifying known antibiotics ever so slightly, we could add extra punch to the drugs we already have." The 23-year-old American was two shots behind leader Geoff Ogilvy after three rounds but recovered from three bogeys in four holes to card a three-under 69. It put him level with Australians Cameron Smith and Ashley Hall at 12 under, with Ogilvy two shots back. Find out how to get into golf with our special guide. Hall was closer with his approach at the first extra hole but could not match Spieth's 12-foot birdie putt. The two-time major winner became only the second American, after Jack Nicklaus, to win the title more than once. Smith and Hall had the consolation of securing places in next year's Open Championship at Royal Birkdale along with compatriot Aaron Baddeley, who finished in a five-way tie for fourth.

In his autobiography written last year Pietersen ridiculed Prior, labelling him 'The Big Cheese'. Pietersen accused Prior, who announced his retirement from cricket aged 33 on Thursday, of being a backstabber, a bully and bad for the team environment. Prior said neither he nor other team-mates recognised that description, but added: "It's water under the bridge." Prior, who won the Ashes three times, continued on BBC Test Match Special: "It was a very tough time, to hear things said about you and hear yourself described a certain way, which you didn't recognise and your team-mates didn't recognise, was tough to deal with." "But I'm not the kind of person to hold grudges. It's time for everyone to move on." Batsman Pietersen, 34, who has been told he will not be selected for England over "trust issues", tweeted Prior to "wish him all the best" after his announcement. "Kevin tweeted me on Thursday, which was a very nice touch," added Prior, who won 79 Test caps. Former England wicketkeeper and Surrey coach Alec Stewart told TMS: "You don't want to read those type of things from within a dressing room about someone I have huge respect for in Matt, and I have huge respect for Kevin as well. "I hope in the future they can shake hands, have a cheese sandwich and get on with life as it should be, as two former team-mates." The 65-year-old man was hit by a white Renault Clio at about 14:30 on Thursday at the junction of Muirhouse Parkway and Pennywell Medway. The man is being treated at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. The driver of the car is not understood to have been hurt. Police are now investigating and are appealing for information. Sgt Iain Blain, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a serious collision and we are eager to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident. "If you were in the area and witnessed anything which would help our investigation I would ask that you get in touch with us immediately." Burke twice put Forest ahead against Wigan before Thomas Lam sealed Saturday's 4-3 win in stoppage time. Sunderland are reportedly interested in the 19-year-old, who earned his first senior Scotland cap after making just 19 first-team appearances for Forest. "His future is at Nottingham Forest," Montanier told BBC Radio Nottingham. "Oliver knows that the most important thing for young players like him is to play and to progress. Here at Nottingham Forest, it is a good place to play and improve before going away. "A lot of young players go away very early and then they have problems trying to improve to play at the top level. "Oliver knows that it's important for him and for us that here we have good facilities and a good atmosphere around him to improve his level and learn the game." Burke, who came through Forest's academy, signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Championship club Forest in February. The Munster man was unable to take part in squad training on Monday or Tuesday but has not yet been ruled out of the match at the Aviva Stadium. "We're giving him a bit of time," said scrum coach Greg Feek, who indicated that Earls should be able to take a full part in training on Thursday. Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray are both set to be fit for the Dublin encounter. Both Irish half-backs trained on Tuesday, despite picking up injuries in the 22-9 defeat by Wales in Cardiff on Friday. Scrum-half Murray sustained a shoulder injury while fly-half Sexton suffered a head knock but was not concussed. Sexton was taken off for a head injury assessment and returned after clearing the medical tests. Flanker Tommy O'Donnell sat out Tuesday's session with some quad tightness but, like Earls, is likely to return to action on Thursday. Wing Tommy Bowe has been ruled out of the match with England after suffering a suspected broken leg against Wales. Ireland's hopes of a third Six Nations title in four years were ended at the Principality Stadium last weekend. Joe Schmidt's team stayed in second spot but eight points behind England, who are aiming for back-to-back Grand Slams. Kerrigan suffered a nightmare debut in last year's Ashes but returns to the England squad for this week's match. Vaughan believes the 25-year-old is not ready to win his second cap. "I fear for Simon Kerrigan," Vaughan told Radio 5 live Sport. "England have thrown him back into international cricket far too soon." Kerrigan was surprisingly selected for the fifth Test against Australia at The Oval last year but failed to justify his inclusion as he conceded 53 runs from just eight overs. He never recovered from a brutal early assault from Australian batsman Shane Watson as his first two overs went for 28 runs. Vaughan says a repeat of that experience could be fatal to Kerrigan's international career. "If the second one goes badly, he can never come back from that again," the former England opener said. "If he goes out on Thursday and it's like that situation against Watson, he won't come back from that for a long time." Kerrigan has taken 28 wickets for Lancashire this season at an average of 34.25, but Vaughan believes the left-armer should be left to learn his trade at county level. "He's not pulled up any trees for Lancashire this season," said Vaughan. "Why rush the lad back in? "Throwing him out to bowl at Lord's against an Indian batting line-up who can play spin with their eyes shut... I just think is unfair." Former England spin bowler Phil Tufnell argued England were right to pick the player if they felt he was good enough. However, he felt Kerrigan was now in "a horrible position", adding: "I don't know how that's affecting him." England are searching for a spinner following the retirement of Graeme Swann last year and have turned to batsman Moeen Ali as a part-time option in this summer's Tests against Sri Lanka and India. Swann believes that the additional workload on the England seamers may force coach Peter Moores to turn to Kerrigan, whom he coached during his stint at Lancashire. "I think he'll play," Swann said. "By all accounts, he's bowled very well in the nets and Peter Moores rates him very highly. Moeen's just not up to it as a spinner at the moment." Seamers Chris Jordan and Chris Woakes are the other options if Moores wishes to change the team that drew the first Test at Trent Bridge. The Romanian has only played three times this season, and has not started a game since April 2015. The 23-year-old joined Wednesday on a three-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee from Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia in February 2015. The Owls currently sit seventh in the Championship table, one point outside the play-off places. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Until now, same-sex couples could only adopt a child if it was the offspring of one of the partners. But in a historic ruling on Wednesday, the court instructed adoption agencies not to discriminate against gay men and lesbians. It said gay couples could adopt just as heterosexual couples could, as along as all legal requirements were met. The court reached its ruling in a 6-2 vote after hours of debate. It said that excluding gay couples as possible adoptive parents "limits children's right to a family". "A person's sexual orientation or gender are not in and of themselves indicative of a lack of moral, physical or mental suitability to adopt," said the chief justice of the Constitutional Court, Maria Victoria Calle Correa. Same-sex couples in Colombia are allowed to enter into legal unions but in 2013 Congress rejected a proposal to fully legalise gay marriage. Activists welcomed Wednesday's decision but opponents promised to appeal, Reuters news agency reported. Almost £6m has been spent on the 22-acre site on Strabane's Melmount Road. Businesses had applied for tenancy but been put off by "red tape", said SDLP MLA Daniel McCrossan. Invest NI said they were in talks with six businesses and had not received any concerns from politicians. At the opening of the park in March 2013, Invest NI also said six eligible companies had "declared an interest in acquiring sites at the business park". It had been hoped the new facility would offer more opportunities in one of Northern Ireland's unemployment 'black spots'. "It was completed and sold to us as a golden opportunity for the area and it now looks like a white elephant," said Daniel McCrossan. "I personally have been engaged with businesses where I organised a meeting with Invest NI officials in Strabane and we were promised the sun, the moon and the stars. "Seven months later, there hasn't been a response, there hasn't been a phone call." Mr McCrossan believes not enough is being done to secure interested tenants. "Just last night I contacted other businesses and another gentleman told me he was in advanced stages of conversation and after two-and-a-half months has had no response," he said. "I really have to ask Invest NI what are they doing proactively? As far as I can see they have done very, very little." Invest NI said it had invested more than £5.8m to purchase land and develop Strabane business park. "A company's investment within the business park is largely dependent on it securing the necessary funding to purchase a serviced site, develop their facility and achieve relevant statutory approvals such as planning permission, all of which can take some time and are outside Invest NI's control," it said. "Invest NI has not been contacted by any public representatives or businesses raising concerns about 'red tape'." Edward Wood, 50, was attacked and "left to die" by a group of people on Railway Road in Leigh on Wednesday. He had items stolen from him before he was taken to hospital, where he later died, Greater Manchester Police added. Four men - aged 28, 31, 38 and 46 - have been arrested in connection with Mr Wood's death and released on bail. His family said they are "shocked and deeply saddened" by the "tragic and meaningless loss of Edward" in a "mindless attack". "Edward was a dad of two, Ryan and Daniel, and had just learned he was to be a grandad later this year and was really looking forward to it. "This news had given him a new spring in his step and he was excited about the future." The family said he was "a much loved son, dad, brother and uncle" who had "a special bond with his mother Lois with whom he spent a great deal of time." Police are continuing to appeal for information about the attack which happened at about 23:00 BST close to the Oceans Eleven chip shop. Det Ch Insp Jane Little said: "Edward's death has left his family absolutely devastated... This was an innocent man who was not causing anyone any problems and was attacked and left to die in the street. "Leigh is quite a tight-knit area and we believe that the answers may lie within the local community." The 32-year-old from Brecon will be making his first international appearance since winning gold at the Rio Paralympics in September. He will be joined in Slovenia by Paul Davies and Tom Matthews. "I had a long break after Rio. Training has been going well and I'm reasonably happy," said Rob Davies. Rob Davies did win the class 1 title at the British Para Table Tennis National Championships in April, but said he is excited to get back on the international stage at the Slovenian tournament which begins on 6 May. He continued: "The Slovenia Open is always a strong competition so I know it will be tough. My main goal for this year is the European Championships in September and that is what I am working towards." Paul Davies, 50, from North Cornelly, won Paralympic bronze in London 2012 and reached the quarter-finals in Rio following a long absence with injury whilst Aberdare's Matthews has had his own injury woes. He missed most of 2016 after breaking his leg, but since his return he took bronze at the Italian Open in March. Meanwhile Swansea's Paul Karabardak, men's class 6 gold medallist in the Italian Open, is still recovering from a foot injury and will miss the Slovenia Open.

The 21-year-old was part of the Hibs side that finished runner-up in the Scottish Women's Premier League and lost the Scottish Cup final last term. "She ticks all the boxes in terms of the standard of players that we want at Bristol," said manager Willie Kirk. Arthur is the second player to join Bristol this week after Ellie Wilson arrived from Reading on Wednesday. The LGA says the current structure, with councils responsible for most schools but academies and free schools answering to Whitehall, is confusing and lets issues "slip through the net". It wants local education "trusts" to oversee all types of state school. The Independent Academies Association called it "a step back into the past". The LGA says the current system is so complicated that parents often don't know how to make complaints or raise issues. Academies and free schools, which now number about 3,500, are independent of local authority control and accountable directly to Whitehall which, says the LGA, "acknowledges it lacks the capacity and local knowledge to provide oversight". It says that local authorities, while responsible for 84% of schools, lack adequate powers to hold the growing number of these other schools to account. A new LGA document sets out a wish list for the first 100 days of a new government, following the 2015 election. It urges the government to set up local "education trusts" for all schools, including academies and free schools, which would bring together head teachers and governors, "supported and held to account" by local councils. Good and outstanding schools would share expertise and support improvement, says the LGA, "leaving Ofsted free to focus on schools which require improvement". "The current two-tier system of accountability is confusing for mums and dads to navigate... there are too many possibilities for issues to slip through the net," said David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board. "Education trusts would strip away this bureaucracy and provide an easily identifiable place which parents can turn to. "Someone has to take responsibility for accountability of schools and with local knowledge and links to the community councils are ideally placed to take this role," said Mr Simmonds. Traditionally, local authorities have had a role in monitoring standards in the schools they control, acting as a "middle tier" between schools and the Department for Education. Concerns have been expressed about the viability of Whitehall monitoring thousands of academies. The government is introducing regional schools commissioners and head-teacher boards to improve oversight of academies, while Labour proposes a network of regional school standards directors. Nick Weller, chairman of the Independent Academies Association, described the LGA proposals as "the latest attempt to resurrect the discredited system of local authority control. "The first 200 academies were established to replace maintained schools which did not provide a good or better education for their students and which had themselves been failed for years by their local authority. "Those academies have since gone on to improve much faster than other schools nationally over a sustained period of time: why would we now want to return them to the failures of the past?" Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders said: "The LGA is right to recognise that the diverse nature of schools today can be confusing to parents, however another layer of structural change is not the solution. "School improvement needs to be driven by school leaders, within a strong national accountability framework." Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: "NAHT believes every school should be working in a trust, federation or cluster with other schools, with streamlined accountability to one overarching body. "Ideally, however, these groupings would be small: half a dozen to a dozen schools, rather than encompassing an entire authority." A Department for Education spokesman said: "Academies are giving hope to children who have been failed by councils. "Since 2010 we have taken 900 schools which were failing under council control and turned them into academies with the support of a strong sponsor." The spokesman said results and Ofsted ratings were improving faster in academies than in council-run schools but the government's new regional schools commissioners and head teacher boards would "ensure swift action is taken in the small number of cases where academies are struggling". The production, which stars cabaret artist Meow Meow as Titania, has largely impressed the critics. Although there has been some controversy about Rice's use of artificial lighting. "Purists may wish to head for the hills," observed the Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish. The audience on Thursday's opening night was greeted outside by a "magical forest" of trees with metallic leaves. Meanwhile, the interior of the replica Elizabethan playhouse was transformed into a wedding venue, with circular tables dotted around the standing area under a canopy of giant orbs. Rice's gender-swapping production turns Helena into a gay man called Helenus (Ankur Bahl) while the "rude mechanicals" are a largely female group of Globe ushers, headed by Rita Quince (Lucy Thackeray). "Presiding over the mischief is Katy Owen's petite Puck, bedecked in a combination of hot-pants and Elizabethan doublet and ruff and squirting a water-pistol," continued Cavendish in his four-star review. "Much fun and games, then, but also seriousness, sadness, and troubling madness. The watching school-parties were transfixed. And I was too. Result!" The Guardian's Lyn Gardner, in a three-star review, said the play - despite many "fast and furious" gags - never fully tapped into any sense of the enchanted. "For the first production in what has been dubbed The Wonder Season, this lacks a genuine sense of wonder and magic. There are times when, for all its exuberant gleefulness and merry laughter, it seems a tad charmless. Less could be more." The Stage's four star review described Emma Rice's inaugural production "a bit of a ground-shaker". "This is living theatre," said Natasha Tripney, "hot-blooded and hot-bodied, a production that feels utterly at home in the space while also challenging people's perceptions of what the Globe is for." Whatsonstage.com's Daisy Bowie-Sell said the show was "a total hoot" and would "appeal to anyone who likes a bit of magic and a good party". Rice, she went on, was "here to shake things up, mess with our heads, get us stamping our feet and clapping our hands so that the rumbles from the Globe can be felt all the way to Tower Bridge". A Midsummer Night's Dream is at Shakespeare's Globe, London until 11 September. Media playback is not supported on this device The Belgians led 3-1 with only four minutes left, before David Ames scored his first international goal for GB. Barry Middleton equalised with just over a minute on the clock, but despite further pressure a winner did not come. Britain, who would have slipped to the fifth-sixth play-off with a defeat, will meet Germany for the bronze medal. "It feels like a defeat," Ames told BBC Sport. "We wanted to win this and there are positives to take from how we fought back, but overall we're disappointed we weren't able to take chances earlier." After pool leaders Australia defeated India in the first game of the day, Britain knew a victory over Belgium would have put them into Friday's gold medal match. However, Bobby Crutchley's side found themselves behind after only 35 seconds, with Thomas Briels sweeping home. Captain Middleton equalised in the second period, but Loick Luypaert then struck just before the break. After Luypaert scored again to put Belgium two ahead, Britain looked beaten, but the decision to withdraw keeper George Pinner for an extra outfield player paid off as they battled back to draw. Media playback is not supported on this device "We've had some amazing battles against Belgium and yet again we've had another incredible draw," said Middleton. "We don't want to be in this position where we have to fight back, we want to be controlling it from the off, so we'll learn from this." Britain will now face Olympic champions Germany for third place. "It's a game we want to win and we want to finish the competition with a medal," said coach Crutchley. World number one side Australia will face India for gold, whilst Belgium and Korea will meet in the fifth-sixth play-off. Alex Schalk's last-minute goal gave County a 2-1 victory over Hibernian in the League Cup final at Hampden. "He really deserves it. He's put Dingwall on the map and he's been absolutely fantastic for this club. He is Mr Ross County," McIntyre said. "For us to be able to give him a bit of silverware is so pleasing." McIntyre concedes his players rode their luck at times, but believes they are fully deserving of their winners medals. Media playback is not supported on this device "We've taken our chances when it counts," he noted. "These games are all about winning. "Nobody ever remembers the losers. That was my message to the players." It was a momentous day in the history of the Highlands outfit, who have finished fifth, seventh and ninth since promotion to the Premiership in 2012, and currently lie fourth in the table with nine games left. MacGregor says he hopes County's achievement will spur other smaller clubs in Scotland on to greater things. "I'm really proud for everyone and delighted for these fans," said the chairman. "Absolutely incredible. We've been on a journey together and this is not the end of the journey. We look forward to the next chapter. Media playback is not supported on this device "We've just got to battle on and see if we can come in the top six of the league. It will be a milestone for the club if we can do that. "We're a community club and hopefully that gives encouragement to all the community clubs in Scotland." Match-winner Schalk, 23, says the cup win is just reward for a squad who "go through hell" together. "We fought so hard today," said the Dutchman, who joined the club last October. "They're a great side Hibs, and played fantastic. Second half, we fought for each other. "The whole season with his squad, we go through hell for each other. The 90th-minute goal couldn't be better for me though. "It was a fantastic counter-attack. I am where I'm supposed to be as a striker. Tap-in, 2-1, cup-winners." County assistant manager Billy Dodds was pleased at how well the team recovered after a nervy opening to the match. "Hibs were the better team first half. I thought we froze a little bit. It was an eachy-peachy second half, could have gone either way. "I thought we stuck in, worked hard and we got the break. "I'm just delighted. I would have hated this bunch of lads to go on and lose this. I don't know what would've happened." Harmer bowled almost unchanged for 39 overs as Warwickshire, 60-2 overnight, were bowled out for 283 at Chelmsford. Jeetan Patel hit 71 and Sam Hain 58 for Division One's bottom club. But, having already slumped to 27-2 second time around against leaders Essex, the Bears face a fight to avoid a fourth innings defeat of the season. Apart from Patel's late-order runs, sharing a 76-run stand with the ever reliable Keith Barker (24), the only plus point on a sultry day in Essex for the Bears was Hain's return to form. In his previous seven County Championship innings this season, the Hong Kong-born England hopeful had managed only 59 runs in seven innings. But he almost matched that before becoming a victim for left-arm paceman Paul Walter, who added the wicket of opener Ian Westwood when Warwickshire were put back in again halfway though the day's final session. Neil Wagner also took two wickets in the day for Essex, both catches for former Bears skipper Varun Chopra. He was in the right place on the deep square leg boundary to remove Jonathan Trott earlier in the day when he took the bait and hooked a Wagner bouncer, then he later caught Tim Ambrose at point for 25 - to safely pouch the 200th first-class catch of his career. The day then ended as it had begun, with the departure of Trott, lbw, to give Harmer another scalp, from the final ball of the day, and leave the Bears needing to bat the whole of the final day to avoid a fourth heavy defeat in just six matches. Essex have confirmed that Mohammad Amir will be available to make his debut against Middlesex next week in the inaugural round of day/night games The Pakistan fast bowler, one of the heroes of Sunday's Champions Trophy final victory against India at The Oval, was signed by Essex back last November. He has signed to play for the second half of the season, which will include Essex's final seven County Championship matches, as well as the entire T20 Blast. BBC WM's Mike Taylor "The two dismissals of Jonathan Trott that bookended today's play have advanced Essex's claims to a Championship title on their top-flight return. He offered only the front pad to the last ball of the day from Simon Harmer, which appeared well wide of the off-stump but turned, and was adjudged lbw by umpire Neil Bainton. "That was the 10th wicket of the day, leaving Essex eight more to get tomorrow on a pitch bound to offer a little more assistance to Harmer in particular. He claimed seven of the wickets in a diligent and skilful effort, showing great control and focus in the heat. "With Neil Wagner finding a troubling, short-but-not-too-short length from his first over, when he had Trott hooking into a trap at backward square leg. Sam Hain showed much improved form for Warwickshire and played with authority - Jeetan Patel changed the tone and, although he could not avert the follow-on, his runs could be of real value if Warwickshire are close to parity by tea. Getting that far, however, may be a trial." Essex off spinner Simon Harmer told BBC Radio Essex: "I've been struggling a bit with my knees, so that is the only thing that hurts. Other than that I've got a big engine, so once it gets going I'm all right. It was nice to get a good bowl in. "It was a long shift, but obviously a productive one so you're not going to complain after a day like that. We'll have a couple of beers tonight to help with the recovery. "Trott's wicket was a good cherry on the cake on a good day for Essex. To get them back in tonight, and get two more wickets, we definitely would have taken that." Warwickshire off spinner Jeetan Patel told BBC WM: "Simon Harmer bowled really well. He bowled great areas all day and asked questions on the outside and inside edge. It was a good length. "He bowled nearly 40 overs today and you've got to pat him on the back to keep coming in and asking the same questions over and over again. Their consistency and patience is what's going to stand them in good stead." "We've got to believe that every over we get through is one less over we have to face. We've been under the pump for three days. Can we fight back? That's the question that needs to be answered." It defines this as brands that can give a misleading impression that food comes from a British farm, market or farming town which may not even exist. It said a meat brand it had created called Hemsley was a play on the name of the sound-a-like North Yorkshire farming town, Helmsley. The National Farmers' Union (NFU) is unhappy about fake-brands, particularly when it implies the food is British. The NFU's deputy president, Minette Batters, said: "In our view it is important that product names and descriptions on packaging are clear, accurate and do not mislead consumers. "We would always encourage shoppers to look out for the Red Tractor logo to ensure the food is produced to the highest welfare standards, and can be traced back to a British farm." A number of big supermarkets, including Morrisons, have come under fire for using farm-like labels for some of their produce. The issue came to a head in 2016, when market leader Tesco created a range of brand names for its own produce, including Rosedene Farm and Boswell Farms. At the time, Tesco told the BBC that some of these were indeed fresh produce suppliers but conceded that not all the items sold under those brand names came from those farms. It told the BBC this was not misleading to customers, since they understood Tesco was a large organisation which could not stock its stores from one farm. The Hemsley brand, which Morrisons dropped last year, had been criticised by the NFU. The union said that Hemsley used poultry imported from abroad, which was produced to less exacting welfare standards than those met by British suppliers. Morrisons said on Wednesday that 70% of UK adults it polled in a survey objected to the use of fake farm brands. Instead, consumers wanted products to use real place names on packaging and branding. A Morrisons spokesman said that its pledge not to use fake farm names would not apply to the third-party brands it stocks. Families have been placed as far away as Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle. The number of placements rose from 113 between April and June 2012 to 551 between December and April 2016, figures from London Councils (LC) show. Authorities say they are forced into this by rising temporary housing costs, which have also doubled since 2012. London boroughs spent £203m on housing rented on a per-night basis in the 2015 financial year, up from £90m in 2011, the figures from LC, which represents city authorities, indicate. Kate Webb, head of policy at housing charity Shelter, explained high London property prices mean "councils are finding it much harder to find landlords that will work with them". Councils are struggling to secure long term leases on properties to use for temporary accommodation, so are forced into per-night rental agreements, or to look beyond the capital, she said. The number of nights rented under these arrangements has more than tripled from 540,000 to 1.8m over the past five years, 14 councils in London confirmed. "Because councils can't find anything affordable and suitable in their own local area, then they do often have no choice but to look to cheaper areas outside of the capital," Ms Webb said. Abigail Tumfo was placed by Waltham Forest Council in Hertfordshire, after being evicted by a landlord who did not want a child in his property. "The council told me they didn't have anything apart from a studio apartment in Welwyn Garden City." She explained her support network of family and friends has been stripped away by the move. "I feel like I've been abandoned. I've been here for three years, now, and I'm still here, the council are still not doing anything to move me back to where I'm from," she said. "It's like my life has been put on pause." She said her accommodation was in poor shape, that other residents in the building were disruptive, and has had to spend much of her income on commuting to London for work. "I've had to deal with mould, I've had to deal with cockroaches, I've had to deal with crazy people banging on doors at night, breaking through people's doors," she said. "It's been a hell living in this place, for me and my kids. My eldest thinks this is normal but I know this isn't a normal life for her. I know there is something better out there, that she doesn't deserve this kind of life." Housing departments have been considering alternative solutions to the shortage of properties. Converting former industrial units into temporary accommodation, and building prefabricated, modular housing on council-owned land, are among ideas discussed at meetings between council housing officers, according to documents released by LC. But cost increases are forcing London boroughs to look further afield for temporary accommodation. Most of these families were sent to towns in the south-east such as Thurrock, Medway and Luton, though a number of families were housed in Greater Manchester and the West Midlands. There has also been a rise in the number of families moved to another borough within London. While 2449 families were placed outside their borough between June and September in 2011, this rose to 4883 between December and March 2016, the figures show. Dave Smith, policy officer at the Residential Landlords' Association said: "One of the biggest problems that councils have is that they are not addressing people being evicted from properties quickly enough." He explained councils tend to leave people in a property to the very last minute, before looking for short term emergency housing solutions. "If that was being addressed more quickly, then these expensive temporary housing solutions could be avoided," he said. The BBC sent freedom of information requests to all London boroughs on the costs of their nightly charged temporary accommodation. Twenty boroughs provided full information, though some responses also included nightly paid, shared accommodation. The Food and Drug Administration said the ban would prevent under-18s from using sunlamp tanning beds, which have been linked to increased rates of skin cancer including of melanoma. Tanning beds typically expose the users to 12 times more UV rays then the sun. Market research firm IBIS World estimates the US tanning market to be a $3bn industry. According to a 2013 study, 1.6 million minors used tanning beds in America. "Today's action is intended to help protect young people from a known and preventable cause of skin cancer and other harms," said FDA acting commissioner Stephen Ostroff in a statement on Friday. He added that under-18s were at "greatest risk" for these adverse effects. A study by the American Academy of Dermatology found that people who use tanning beds are 59% more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never used them. The FDA also proposed requiring new safety standards including requiring emergency shut-off switches, making warning labels easier to read and improving protective eyewear. Davis, 25, has made exactly 100 Championship appearances for Blues since signing from West Midlands rivals Wolves in August 2014. He spent five years on the books as a professional at Molineux, During that time he played 61 times, as well as being loaned out to Darlington, Walsall, Shrewsbury Town, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Chesterfield. Davis's new deal, tying him to St Andrew's until the summer of 2020, follows the re-signing of Craig Gardner from West Bromwich Albion, ending a busy week of activity for Blues boss Gianfranco Zola in his midfield department. The Italian is open-minded about the future of Diego Fabbrini, who was signed by predecessor Gary Rowett from Watford in a £1.5 million deal a year ago. Despite being brought in for only his second start of the season against Newcastle last Saturday, Fabbrini is prepared to move on in the hope of regular first-team football. "In his mind he wants to go and maybe try somewhere else," Zola told BBC WM. "But he has a future here if he is willing to work at his game and work hard at some issues." "I know where he could be. But I cannot do anything unless he wants to do that. Then he can be a player who, wherever he goes, he plays." Zola is close to abandoning his plan to bring in Slovenia international Rene Krhin from La Liga side Granada. Although Blues had agreed a £2m fee with the Spaniards, Krhin returned without signing after attending last weekend's FA Cup third-round 1-1 draw with Newcastle United. "It's gone very quiet," said Zola. "We wanted the player, but the player is taking too much time and we need to move. We have waited more than we should. "To be fair that, position was not a priority. Stephen Gleeson and Robert Tesche have done well so far." The Wokingham Paper was launched following the closure of the Wokingham Times by publisher Trinity Mirror in December. About 10,000 copies of the 48-page independent paper, which sells for 50 pence, are being printed weekly. Editor Phil Creighton said: "It's an amazing feeling, I nearly cried. It's been such a journey to go from the idea to have it in my hand." Mr Creighton said he took on the project as the end of the town's paper had "left a huge gap in the heart of the community". "I wanted to make sure that news was shared", he said. Mr Creighton is attempting to raise crowd-sourced funding to sustain the publication. Witnesses said the confrontation came after an assembly session to mark the country's Independence Day. Military police guarding the site stood by as intruders brandishing sticks and pipes broke through the gate, AFP said. The government vowed to investigate. About 350 people were besieged for hours, the assembly's speaker said. Julio Borges said on Twitter that 108 journalists, as well as students and visitors, were among those stuck inside. Mr Borges also named five of the lawmakers injured. Some were taken away for medical treatment. Venezuela has been shaken by often violent protests in recent months and is in economic crisis. "This does not hurt as much as seeing every day how we are losing our country," deputy Armando Armas told reporters as he got into an ambulance, his head swathed in bloody bandages. The US state department condemned the violence, calling it "an assault on the democratic principles cherished by the men and women who struggled for Venezuela's independence 206 years ago today". Witnesses said several journalists and two assembly staff were also hurt. Venezuelan newspaper Tal Cual blamed the attack on militias known as "colectivos", and said the group had fired rockets and bangers as they forced their way in. Its report said some of the deputies attacked "fell to the ground and were kicked". Photos and videos circulating on social media showed victims of the assault with bleeding head wounds. At least one, believed to be deputy Americo De Grazia, was carried out on a stretcher. AFP, whose journalists were at the scene, said reporters were ordered to leave by the attackers, one of whom had a gun. The violence unfolded while President Nicolás Maduro was giving a speech at a government-planned Independence Day military parade elsewhere in the capital. Before the intruders rushed the building, Vice-President Tareck El Aissami made an impromptu appearance in the congress with the head of the armed forces, Vladimir Padrino Lopez, and ministers. Mr El Aissami gave a speech urging the president's supporters to come to the legislature to show support for him. A crowd had been rallying outside the building for several hours before breaking into the grounds. In a statement via the ministry of communication, the government said it "condemns the alleged acts of violence in the gardens of the Federal Legislative Palace". "The national government has ordered the investigation of the aforementioned acts of violence to establish the whole truth, and on that basis, to apply sanctions to those responsible," it said. Venezuela's National Assembly has been led by the opposition since elections in December 2015, and has become a focal point for critics of the president. Anti-Maduro protesters have staged nationwide street protests against the government over the past three months which have seen violent clashes between demonstrators and the security forces. At least 90 people have died in the bloodshed, with both political factions blaming each other. Just hours before the scenes at the National Assembly, Venezuela's attorney general was facing suspension for refusing to appear in court. The charges filed against Luisa Ortega Díaz came after she challenged President Maduro's reform plans. She says she is being legally pursued for defying the president, but the Supreme Court, which is dominated by government loyalists, says Ms Ortega has committed serious errors. Last week, Ms Ortega strongly criticised President Maduro after an incident in which a stolen police helicopter flew over Caracas, dropping grenades and firing shots. Venezuela helicopter attack: Who is pilot Oscar Pérez? The president called it a "terrorist attack" but Ms Ortega said the country was suffering from "state terrorism". While Venezuelan security forces later found the abandoned helicopter near the coast, opposition politician and parliamentary speaker Julio Borges said there was a possibility that the incident was a hoax. On Tuesday, the fugitive policeman who piloted the helicopter, Oscar Pérez, posted a video online saying he was still in Caracas. He urged Venezuelans to stand firm in the streets in protests against President Maduro. 3 March 2017 Last updated at 17:37 GMT UKIP failed to win any seats in Wales, whilst in England it lost 145 councillors and only got one elected. Neil Hamilton said UKIP voters who had returned to the Tories would come back because of immigration concerns. He told BBC Wales his party "started to slide down a cliff" when the prime minister called the general election. Speaking on Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme, Mr Hamilton said: "It's certainly a very disappointing result but I've been in politics a very long time, I've seen landslides come and go and come back again and UKIP will live to fight another day. "It's quite clear looking at the opinion polls over the last few weeks that as soon as Theresa May called a general election we started to slide down a cliff, because this has become a bit of a referendum in itself on the Brexit process I think." UKIP won no council seats in Wales, despite fielding 80 candidates. In England all 145 of the party's councillors defending seats lost, but UKIP did take a seat from Labour in Lancashire. Mr Hamilton said he was sure UKIP would "revive to its former eminence" but "we may have to wait a while". "A lot of people who had previously been Conservatives and voted for UKIP in order to get the referendum have now gone back to the Conservatives," he said. "But I believe that will be only temporary because a lot of people voted for the referendum for control of our borders and I don't think Theresa May will want to introduce the kind of immigration controls that these people wanted to see." Contingency plans have been put in place for S4, S5 and S6 pupils at three of the five closed high schools with plans due to be released on the other two soon. However, S1 to S3 pupils are still without any information. All primary and special needs pupils will be back in classrooms by 19 April. The council said that all pupils would be off school on Monday 18 April as it is a public holiday in the city. About 7,000 pupils were unable to return to their classrooms on Monday after the Easter break. Council officials said S4, S5 and S6 pupils from Firrhill, Drummond and Royal High would be able to return to their own schools on Wednesday. They said an update for S4, S5 and S6 pupils at Gracemount and Craigmount High would be released later on Tuesday once arrangements were finalised. The problems were first uncovered in January when a wall at Oxgangs Primary collapsed during high winds. Further closures were prompted after workers repairing serious structural issues at the primary found "further serious defects" with the building on Friday. The city council said urgent work would need to be carried out on at least four of the schools: two high schools Gracemount and Craigmount, and two primaries - Oxgangs and St Peter's. The initial problem was discovered with wall ties, which hold the outer and inner walls together, at Oxgangs Primary School. An additional issue on Friday was then found with head ties, which hold the top of the walls to the steel roof frame, at all four schools. In all, 10 primaries, five secondaries and two additional support needs schools have been shut, as well as a neighbourhood centre. All of the schools, which are about 10 years old, were constructed under the same public private partnership contract. A first phase was built by a combination of Miller Construction and Amey - with seven built by other contractors. A second phase of four schools were all built by Miller. Miller Construction was later acquired by Galliford Try in 2014, who also took contractual responsibility for the second phase schools - now found to require emergency work to remedy defects. The firm said: "Galliford Try takes its role as a responsible contractor very seriously and the safety of the pupils and staff is paramount." Award-winning architect Malcolm Fraser warned of the scale of the challenge facing the City of Edinburgh Council to keep on top of safety issues at the schools. Speaking on BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme, he said it was extremely difficult to pinpoint all structural issues. He said: "The issue is, when everything is covered up, it's very hard to tell where these other things and other problems might lie. "So when you do look at political demands for why haven't all schools been checked etc, you almost have to take a school to bits to find out that these issues are there. "And you don't really understand that there is a problem until something catastrophic goes wrong as it has at Oxgangs, which has led all these other inspections to happen." Concerns have been raised about the need to accommodate senior pupils who are due to sit exams soon and have coursework and assessments to complete. Many parents have also expressed anger and frustration at having to arrange extra childcare at such short notice. Edinburgh University, the Scottish Parliament, community groups, venues and private sector companies have all offered help. The local authority confirmed that structural surveys would continue to be carried out this week. Meanwhile, every other Scottish council has carried out, or is going to carry out, surveys of school buildings that could be affected. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing gave Dale a first-half lead after exchanging passes with Ian Henderson. Joe Edwards equalised for the hosts after the break following good work by Alex Gilbey and Chris Porter. But Calvin Andrew netted Dale's winner, finding the top corner of James Bransgrove's goal with a curling shot. Rochdale assistant manager Chris Beech told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "Winning away is something we enjoy and to gain three points on the last day of the season is very fulfilling. It was so warm but the players stuck at it. "Calvin Andrew got half a yard in the box and a rare moment, he scored with his right foot. "We didn't get to where we wanted to go but not for the lacking of trying. To get 69 points is a commendable season's effort." Hundreds of fans travelled to Helsinki for Northern Ireland's game against Finland on Sunday, the final leg of a historic Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. The city centre was a sea of green and white before kick-off. The team qualified for its first major tournament in 30 years after beating Greece 3-1 at Windsor Park on Thursday. "We just came to party," was the chant from the supporters. And they didn't disappoint. Even the locals found themselves caught up in the celebrations. Northern Ireland fans made all the noise inside the half-full Olympic Stadium. The reward was seeing their team collect the single point they needed to head to France as Group F winners. Defender Craig Cathcart scored Northern Ireland's goal in a 1-1 draw. It is the first time Northern Ireland has qualified for the finals of a major football tournament since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. "Qualifying means everything," one fan said. "I can't describe what this means after so many disappointments." When asked about his realistic expectations for the Euro 2016 finals his answer was simple: "I expect we'll win." Northern Ireland supporters' optimism is as hearty as their singing. The Republic of Ireland, however, had to settle for a place in the play-offs for the tournament finals after they fell to a 2-1 defeat by Poland in Warsaw.

The Bath back-rower, 26, sustained a mild groin strain in Friday's captain's run and will be replaced by Glasgow's Ryan Wilson. Wilson, recalled to the match-day 23 in Rome, is promoted from the bench. Josh Strauss, who played 75 minutes for Glasgow against Dragons on Thursday, is summoned to join the replacements. "Unfortunately David [Denton] hurt himself in training and strained his groin," head coach Vern Cotter told BBC Scotland. "We gave it overnight to see if he could play but unfortunately it has held him back. "But it won't change things a lot to be honest. Ryan [Wilson] is going to bring all the qualities he has: a lot of energy, his line-out ability, his tackle quality and work-rate." Scotland are aiming to avoid a 10th successive Six Nations defeat in Rome, scene of their last victory two years ago. Scotland: Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour, Mark Bennett, Duncan Taylor, Tim Visser, Finn Russell, Grieg Laidlaw; Alasdair Dickinson, Ross Ford, Willem Nel, Richie Gray, Jonny Gray; John Barclay, John Hardie, Ryan Wilson. Replacements: Stuart McInally, Rory Sutherland, Moray Low, Tim Swinson, Josh Strauss, Sam Hidalgo-Clyne, Peter Horne, Sean Lamont. Ball, 23, started against England and Scotland but Racing Metro's Charteris was preferred after that. Scarlets' Ball has an opportunity to impress Wales coach Warren Gatland against the Dragons on Saturday. "You've always got to fight for it and obviously at the moments it's Charts' shirt," he said. "It just shows you that the position is never yours. It's my job to chase him down and grab it back off him. "He's obviously a different style of player to me and I've got to prove my point of difference to regain my starting position. "The big thing is how you react to that. You can either go into your shell or you try and crack on and I'm trying to crack on and work my way back in." Gatland has confirmed he is returning to Wales for the Judgement Day matches at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, which also sees Cardiff Blues face Ospreys. New Zealander Gatland and attack coach Rob Howley have said regional form will play a part when the World Cup is selected. Ball says the priority is to secure victory for a Scarlets side targeting a place in next season's European Champions Cup. But Ascot-born Ball is well aware a good performance on Saturday could go a long way towards securing a place in the World Cup squad. "The focus is making that top six with the Scarlets," Ball added. "You play well and hopefully win the game and obviously impress selectors as well." The woman was attacked at about 23:30 in Bonnyrigg's High Street on Saturday. On waking she found her purse, with bankcard and cash, was stolen. She was treated by the ambulance service at the scene, after receiving minor head injuries. There is no description of the attacker as the woman was approached from behind but she believes there was one man involved. She was walking at a venal near to the RBS ATM machine when she was assaulted. Det Con James Welsh, of Police Scotland, said: "This was an extremely distressing incident for the young woman involved and we're urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident, seen anyone acting suspiciously in the area at the time of the incident, or who has any information which can help with our inquiries, to come forward." From 1 April, the £6bn health and social care budget will be managed by councils and health groups as part of an extension of devolved powers. The Greater Manchester Strategic Partnership will now make decisions on how to target specific health issues. Integrating health and social care services will ease the pressure on hospitals, said the government. The new partnership, chaired by Lord Peter Smith, comprises 37 organisations including hospital trusts, NHS England, the 10 borough councils and GP commissioners. How Greater Manchester is smashing the Whitehall model. Lord Smith, who is leader of Wigan Council, said: "The big vision is about people and getting people's health in Greater Manchester better. "We spend £6bn on health and social care but life expectancy in Greater Manchester is not as good as it should be. "Lots of people suffer from long-term illness and we've got great ambition to do something about their health. "But it's wider than health we want to do something for the economy. "A lot of people can't get into work because they have health problems, so if we can help them there will be more people getting back into work and we will have more wealth created in Manchester." Politicians and NHS leaders in support of the move say it will enable them to reshape health and social care according to the needs of local people. But it comes at a time of financial pressure as £2bn needs to be saved from the budget by 2020 due to cuts in government funding and increasing costs. Dr Zahid Chauhan, a GP in Failsworth, Oldham, raised questions about how that money will be saved. He said: "My concerns with all this funding deficit and loss of £2bn is that we might struggle to achieve it and who will be responsible for that? "Will it mean less doctors, appointments and operations? I don't know, but those are the questions that need to be answered." It was the only nation at the 15-member UN Security Council to oppose the move, triggering widespread condemnation. The Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board. Pro-Russian rebels in the area have denied shooting down the aircraft. Western nations and Ukraine say there is evidence it was hit by a Russian-supplied Buk anti-aircraft missile - a claim also denied by Russia. Malaysia pushed for an international tribunal to try those responsible. The move was backed by the Netherlands - which had 196 nationals on board - Ukraine, Belgium and Australia. Moscow has blamed the government in Kiev for the disaster. Speaking earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the establishment of a tribunal would be "premature" and "counter-productive". Russia exercised its veto at the Security Council session in New York during a vote on Wednesday, while 11 other members backed the draft resolution. Angola, China and Venezuela abstained. "Russia has callously disregarded the public outcry in the grieving nations," said Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the UN. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop called the Russian veto "an affront to the memory of the 298 victims of MH17 and their families and friends". She said Australia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Ukraine and Belgium would seek an alternative prosecution mechanism, without giving further details. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said: "There can be no reason to oppose this [draft resolution] unless you are a perpetrator yourself." Russia's envoy to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, defended his country's actions, saying any criminal prosecutions would have been carried out in a "closed fashion". He also criticised "aggressive propaganda" and said Russian investigators had been denied equal access to the crash site. Moscow drafted an alternative resolution that did not include a tribunal, but called for a full international investigation. Malaysia's transport minister had urged council members to vote in favour of a tribunal, saying it would be best placed to "deliver justice to the families of the victims". A final report on the cause of the crash by the Dutch Safety Board is due to be released in October.

They will serve only 45 days, which is the remaining time of their punishment. Mayolas and Wantete were found guilty of breaking Fifa rules in relation to "offering and accepting gifts and other benefits". Panorama investigated factories in Turkey and found children had been working on clothes for Marks and Spencer and the online retailer Asos. Adult refugees were also found working illegally on Zara and Mango jeans. All the brands say they carefully monitor their supply chains and do not tolerate the exploitation of refugees or children. Marks and Spencer says its inspections have not found a single Syrian refugee working in its supply chain in Turkey. But Panorama found seven Syrians working in one of the British retailer's main factories. The refugees often earned little more than a pound an hour - well below the Turkish minimum wage. They were employed through a middleman who paid them in cash on the street. One of the refugees told Panorama they were poorly treated at the factory. He said: "If anything happens to a Syrian, they will throw him away like a piece of cloth." The youngest worker was 15 years old and he was working more than 12 hours a day ironing clothes before they were shipped to the UK. A spokesperson for Marks and Spencer said the programme's findings were "extremely serious" and "unacceptable to M&S". It is offering permanent legal employment to any Syrians who were employed in the factory. "Ethical trading is fundamental to M&S. All of our suppliers are contractually required to comply with our Global Sourcing Principles, which cover what we expect and require of them and their treatment of workers. "We do not tolerate such breaches of these principles and we will do all we can to ensure that this does not happen again." But critics say the retailers are not doing enough to stop the problems highlighted by Panorama. Danielle McMullan, from the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, says the brands need to understand that they are responsible: "It's not enough to say we didn't know about this, it's not our fault. "They have a responsibility to monitor and to understand where their clothes are being made and what conditions they are being made in." Many clothes are now made in Turkey because it is close to Europe and used to dealing with last-minute orders. This allows retailers to get new designs into shops more quickly than if they are made elsewhere. But Turkey is a challenging place to do business. Concerns are rising about the exploitation of workers after the arrival of almost three million Syrian refugees. Most of the refugees do not have work permits and many of them are working illegally in the garment industry. Panorama reporter Darragh MacIntyre spoke to dozens of Syrian workers who felt they were being exploited. He said: "They speak of pitiful wages and terrible working conditions. They know they are being exploited but they know they can do nothing about it." In one back-street workshop in Istanbul, the programme team found several Syrian children hard at work. They also discovered an Asos sample in the office. Asos accepts its clothes were made in the factory, but says it is not an approved factory. The company has since inspected and found 11 Syrian adults and three Syrian children under 16 at work. Asos says the children will be financially supported so they can return to school and the adult refugees will be paid a wage until they have been found legal work. A spokesperson for the company said: "We have implemented these remediation programmes despite the fact that this factory has nothing to do with Asos." The investigation also found Syrian refugees working 12-hour days in a factory that was distressing jeans for Mango and Zara. The refugees were involved in spraying hazardous chemicals to bleach the jeans, but most of the workers did not even have a basic face mask. Mango says that the factory was working as a sub-contractor without its knowledge. Its subsequent inspection did not find any Syrian workers and found "good conditions except for some personal safety measures". Zara's parent company, Inditex, says its factory inspections are a "highly effective way of monitoring and improving conditions". It had already found significant non-compliance in an audit in June and had given the factory until December to make the necessary improvements. In another Istanbul factory, Panorama found Syrian adults at work alongside Turkish children as young as 10. The owner said he had been working for Next and showed the undercover team a set of Next pyjamas that he said the factory had helped produce. Next says the pyjamas were actually made by another supplier and the pyjamas we saw may have been a sample. It says samples circulate widely and that the presence of a sample in a factory does not mean it was made there. Panorama - Undercover: The Refugees Who Make Our Clothes is on BBC One at 20:30 BST on Monday 24 October and available on the BBC iPlayer afterwards. But President Vladimir Putin said the current level of attacks was not enough to defeat so-called Islamic State (IS). Russia said it fired cruise missiles for a fourth day against IS targets. The long-range missiles were launched from Caspian Sea warships. Some missiles hit IS in strategically important Deir al-Zour, reports say. The IS-held town in eastern Syria lies between the IS self-proclaimed capital of Raqqa and territory that the jihadists also control in neighbouring Iraq. Deir al-Zour province is also rich in oil. The Russian military says it fired 18 cruise missiles on Friday, destroying seven "Islamist" targets in Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo provinces. Col Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for US Central Command, said the Russian air strikes in recent days targeted more IS areas, including the group's oil infrastructure. But he added that "the majority of Russian air strikes are still against moderate Syrian opposition forces, which is clearly concerning, and those strikes are in support of the Syrian regime" of President Bashar al-Assad. A monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian and Russian warplanes conducted 50 bombing raids in Deir al-Zour province - Russia's most intense assault there to date. The BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow says that in the Russian defence ministry video soldiers can be seen writing messages on the bombs before loading them onto the aircraft - phrases like: "This is revenge for our dead" and "This is for Paris". In four days of heavy bombing against IS, the ministry said, more than 100 cruise missiles were launched and more than 800 "terrorist" targets destroyed in Syria. Mr Putin said Russia still faced a lot of work. He expressed hope that the next phases would "produce the expected result", but did not clarify what those phases would be. Later the president's spokesman told the BBC there was no talk of putting troops on the ground in Syria. IS said its jihadists based in Sinai brought down a Russian Metrojet airliner in Egypt last month. Russia concluded that it was a bomb that blew up the plane, killing 224 people, nearly all of them Russians. Russia's air campaign in Syria began on 30 September. Meanwhile, Turkey has warned Russia that it must immediately stop bombing "civilian Turkmen villages" in Syria, close to the Turkish border. The Russian ambassador to Ankara was summoned to the Turkish foreign ministry to hear the protest. Turkey warned that bombing villages populated by the Turkmen minority could lead to "serious consequences". Syrian government forces backed by Russian aircraft launched a ground offensive on the mainly Turkmen villages in Bayir Bucak, north-west Latakia province, on Thursday, Turkey's Anadolu news agency reported. The Turkish government is vehemently opposed to President Assad, while Russia says its air campaign is justified because Mr Assad has requested it. Eyewitnesses said about 50 fans were in the Bar BQ cafe in the Belgian capital on Wednesday night when up to 100 people tried to break in. "We had Tottenham fans and suddenly people came from outside," bar worker Marie Elizabeth told BBC Radio London. "They started hitting people with chairs, tables and glasses - whatever they found." One person was reported to be badly injured in the attack. Ms Elizabeth said the atmosphere inside the bar had been "very good" before the attack, and that Spurs supporters "did not do anything to cause problems". "It was very scary because it is the first time something like this has happened in the area," she added. "It wasn't expected and we didn't know what to do. "Thank god someone was by the door and they tried to close it, so they didn't come inside. If they had come inside I don't know what was going to happen. "A lot of people from England were hurt. We called the police and the ambulance and they came for first aid." Tottenham fan Sion Roberts tweeted pictures from outside the bar following the attack, showing displaced tables and chairs and damage to the bar's frontage. One person was reported to be badly injured in the attack. Fans of the north London club have previously been targeted when playing on the continent, notably in Rome in 2012 and Lyon in 2013. Tottenham play Anderlecht on Thursday night. Pascal Troadec's former brother-in-law, named as Hubert C, reportedly told investigators he had killed them in a row about the inheritance of gold bars. He is believed to have battered them to death with a blunt object at their home in Nantes, Le Parisien newspaper said. His DNA is said to have been found at their home. He was arrested along with Mr Troadec's sister, his ex-wife, in Brest. French media say items belonging to the family were found there. Pascal and Brigitte, both aged around 50, their son Sebastien, 21, and daughter Charlotte, 18 were last seen on 16 February. RTL reported that it is not yet known whether Hubert C has told police where he left their bodies. Hubert C, 46, had already been interviewed by investigators at the beginning of their inquiry into the family's disappearance, but he told them he had not seen the Troadecs for several years, French media reported. However his DNA was reportedly later found on a glass left in a sink in their home and also on Sebastien's car, which was found last Thursday in the port of St Nazaire. A day earlier, a social security card and a pair of trousers belonging to Charlotte had been found by a jogger in a forested area near Brest. In a search of the family's house last week, investigators found bloodstains matching the DNA of the parents and Sebastien, but not of the daughter. Traces of blood were found on Sebastien's phone, on Brigitte's watch and under the stairs, and it appeared that someone had tried to wipe them away. The role of Lydie Troadec - Hubert C's ex-wife and Pascal's sister - was not yet clear, reports said. The Garda commissioner has been asked to explain apparent contradictions between her public support for Sgt Maurice McCabe and reports that her legal team were under instructions to "attack" his character and motivation. Sgt McCabe had claimed that senior police officers had inappropriately wiped the penalty points from the driving licences of often well-connected offenders. He also complained about flaws and failures in criminal investigations in the Cavan-Monaghan division. A 349-page report published last week by former High Court judge Kevin O'Higgins described Sgt McCabe as a "dedicated and committed" member of the force. It said he acted out of genuine and legitimate concerns about Garda behaviour in the Cavan-Monaghan division and in Bailieboro Garda station in particular. While some of his complaints were upheld in the O'Higgins report, others were said to be overstated or exaggerated and some were unfounded. In her second statement on the report in a number of days Commissioner O'Sullivan said: "I want to make it clear that that I do not, and never have regarded Sgt McCabe as malicious." But last week, the Irish Examiner newspaper said it had obtained documents relating to the O'Higgins' commission's work in which the barrister for senior Garda officers, including Ms O'Sullivan, agreed with the commission that their line of enquiry would be to attack Sgt McCabe's motivation and character. Commissioner O'Sullivan has repeated in her second statement that she cannot by law discuss the proceedings before the commission, but this has been rejected by opposition politicians who say the law refers to evidence and not statements made by lawyers. Sinn Féin and the Labour party have called on her to clarify her position on the apparent contradiction. While the O'Higgins report was largely supportive of Sgt McCabe, it also noted that his allegations of corruption against the previous Garda commissioner, Martin Callinan, were "hurtful" and rejected them. The report also found that the former justice minister, Alan Shatter, had handled the sergeant's complaints in an "appropriate manner" and also, effectively, cleared him of any wrong-doing. With Ms O'Sullivan's statements likely to be raised in the Dail the Housing minister, Simon Coveney, has said people should take the Garda commissioner at her word when she said she had never regarded Sgt McCabe as malicious. In one operation, 17 bodies were found on three boats. Another 217 people who were on board were rescued. The coastguard said distress calls were made from 17 different boats on Friday. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says at least 1,826 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean so far in 2015. It represents an almost 30-fold increase on the same period last year, the IOM says. The Corriere della Serra newspaper said (in Italian) that most of the rescues on Friday took place close to the Libyan coast. Irish, German and Belgian ships took part in the rescue, the newspaper said. The UN estimates that at least 40,000 people tried to cross the Mediterranean between the start of the year and late April. The rise has been attributed to chaos in Libya - the staging post for most crossings - as well as milder weather. Many migrants are trying to escape conflict or poverty in countries such as Syria, Eritrea, Nigeria and Somalia. On Thursday, the charity Medecins sans Frontieres reported that a 98-year-old Syrian man had been rescued from a boat, having travelled by sea from Egypt for 13 days. He was taken to Augusta in Sicily. Are you in the area? Have you or someone you know been affected by the issues in this story? You can share your experiences by emailing haveyoursay@bbc.co.uk.

Italy's Matteo Montaguti beat France's Thibaut Pinot to claim a narrow victory in the fourth stage on Thursday. Pinot had led going into the final 50 metres of the stage, but Montaguti over took him just before the finish line. Team Sky's Thomas finished with the peloton to retain his race lead going into the final stage. Leighton Andrews turned down the proposals from the Welsh language commissioner Meri Huws. The standards are at the heart of legislation passed in 2011 that was meant to promote the Welsh language. But Mr Andrews said they would not provide Welsh speakers with clear rights and many were unreasonable. The standards place binding duties on the public sector and some private companies, such as phone and water firms, so people can use Welsh while receiving services. They were the centrepiece of the Welsh Language Measure which was designed to strengthen the language when it was passed by the Welsh assembly in 2011. The commissioner, Meri Huws, published 37 draft standards in November after holding a non-statutory consultation over the summer. However, in a letter to her Mr Andrews says her recommendations are too complicated and not enough consideration has been given to the impact on the organisations involved. The standards have to be laid before the assembly by the minister and voted on by AMs before they come into force. The Welsh government will propose a new set standards and hold a statutory consultation with the public sector, voluntary organisations and utility companies. Writing to Mr Andrews in November, Ms Huws acknowledged that it was for Welsh ministers to set the standards, but said her recommendations were "appropriate". She also urged that the standards be put into law as soon as possible so organisations have "certainty" to plan and prepare for their implementation. But in a reply to the commissioner on Monday, Mr Andrews said her proposals will not provide clear rights to Welsh speakers, some were contradictory and many appeared to be "unreasonable or disproportionate". Education Minister Mr Andrews, who has responsibility for the language, said: "My decision not to accept the proposed standards is based on policy considerations as well as legal advice. "These standards are complex and I have concerns over their reasonableness and proportionality." Ms Huws said: "The minister's officials and my officials will now work together in order to develop a set of standards which will ensure that the Welsh language is treated no less favourably than the English language in Wales. "I welcome the minister's commitment to work towards the target of imposing standards before the end of 2014, and making them specifically applicable to bodies, as well as his desire to work with my office to realise this." Welsh language campaigners said the minister had given in to pressure from the private sector. Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Welsh Language Society) chairman Robin Farrar said: "The minister's rejection of the standards raises major questions about the process and the role of the commissioner. "Why appoint a commissioner and then ignore her specialist advice?" The remains of the 10 men, seven women and three children were discovered in 2011, during renovation work in the abbey grounds. They were found near St Malachy's Wall, the last standing part of the former medieval monastery. Speaking to the County Down Spectator newspaper, Canon Ronnie Nesbitt said there was a bit of mystery surrounding the remains. "They were found inside the monastery and certainly the women and children couldn't have been monks. "So there's a bit of a puzzle over why they would have been buried within what was an operational ecclesiastical building." Archaeologists have said the group may have come from a rural farming community and there was evidence of wear, tear and injury caused by physical work. The twenty people died from natural causes and had Christian burials. On Saturday, they will be reburied in a modern funeral service and their resting place will be marked with a newly-commissioned headstone. The service will feature a reading and the choir may sing some medieval music to set the tone. "There is an open invitation to any members of the public to attend," said Canon Nesbitt. "We're hoping there might be some people with an interest in local history, or who want to pay tribute to some of our predecessors. "I've been trying to imagine the lives of these people. "What comes across is a sense of peril, of hardness, of how much they truly were at the mercy of the elements and I suspect their understanding of God would have been much more central to their lives." The service will take place at 3pm on Saturday. I was crest-fallen when my iPad 2 fell on to a hard floor and the screen smashed so one day I tweeted idly asking whether I could fix it myself. There it would have ended, except one of my followers tweeted me a link to a screen replacement kit for £15 - much less than the £200 I was quoted at the Apple Store. I clicked, bought the replacement screen then realised I had committed to a mission to fix my own iPad. So I visited iFixit.com - a crowdsourced website packed with tutorials on how to fix equipment. The guide to how to fix an iPad 2 looked well laid out, but complicated and intricate. It was rated "very difficult". But I was determined that that wouldn't deter me. I'd spent £15 after all. Further research revealed tales of broken glass and an almost certain guarantee of breaking something. Not exactly encouraging. My next port of call was the Restart Project - a group of volunteers who give amateurs advice on how to extend the life of their gadgets. Since last year, the movement has expanded to more than 40 countries, and they now offer "lunch hour" clinics in the workplace as well as holding evening and weekend parties. They offer advice on how to fix broken kit - and attendees accept the obvious risks involved in DIY repair. Before we continue, some warnings: if you think you're covered by a warranty you'll probably want to take your broken gadgets back to where you bought them. And the damage can be more personal - there is potential for electric shocks and bleeding fingers from broken glass. I wasn't put off - after all, my iPad is ancient, so I popped into one of their London events. I didn't fancy doing a job like this unsupervised, plus they'd agreed to lend me a heat gun, which is like an industrial-strength hairdryer. I used the heat gun to soften the adhesive that sticks the device together. Once the glue softened, I used plastic and metal implements called spudgers to prise my much-loved gadget open. The first incision was terrifying. Francis, a "restarter", kept an eye on me to make sure I didn't hurt myself. I wore safety glasses, and used sticky tape to collect tiny broken glass fragments. But important preparation such as reading guides, watching videos and memorising the steps in advance could not prepare me for the horrible reality of gouging out my kit. It was a taxing combination of brutal heavy-handedness and a delicate, dexterous light touch. Tablet repair is not a task I would encourage anyone to try without careful consideration and a healthy disrespect for the warranty. Janet Gunter, co-founder of the Restart Project, wants more companies to think about people's ability to repair their own devices. "Stuff is getting more difficult to open and we're seeing that in the events that we're hosting. We're going to reach a point where it's going to be hard to help people fix things in a three-hour period. "People always beat up on Apple but the point is everything is becoming sleeker, smaller, more sealed together and more difficult to open." I was determined - and finally removed the screen after three hours of prodding, poking, prying, scraping and applying heat. Everyone cheered. After removing the glass I undid four little screws and gently lifted the screen to reach the touchscreen connector behind it. I pulled out data cables, and prepared to do it all again - this time backwards. My tablet rebooted and connected to the web successfully. I had avoided the most common mistake - breaking the wifi/bluetooth antenna stuck to the glass next to the home button. But it was only a partial victory. During the removal of the glass, I'd severed the connection to one of the antennas at the top of the device. I couldn't consider it a complete repair, and was a little despondent. Alex Perjescu's company Lovefone repairs phones and tablets. He was at the event and was impressed that I'd even attempt a tablet screen repair, let alone try to replace the GPS antenna myself. He found me a replacement antenna and we arranged to meet at the next Restart party. The quest for a fully repaired tablet was back on! Alex told me it was normal to break something on the first fix. "The instructions you find online are great - but also [you need to know] those little tricks to get it right from the first try. And make sure you're confident with the instructions you've found." Alex's professional tools were much more precise than the ones I'd bought online. I got right down to the logic board, removing the camera assembly, unpeeling tiny bits of tape, unscrewing tiny screws. An excruciating exercise indeed - but seven hours later I had finally done it - taking five hours longer than a competent professional. I was too tired to cheer, but immeasurably happy - and I am still happy as I'm writing this article on my self-refurbished device. The Restart Project aims to empower people to fix stuff themselves - and I certainly felt exhilarated after such a difficult repair. For me, after opening an iPad, nothing feels impenetrable. But crucially I was prepared to break my kit in order to understand it - and I'd advise anyone to think this way if they are considering DIY repair. Because sometimes it's not the winning - it's the taking apart that counts. Find out more on BBC Click this weekend or on iPlayer The firm will, however, pick and choose who can take advantage of the proposal. The initiative follows the launch of the Google Home speaker and its associated Assistant. One expert said the two tech firms were now involved in a "land grab" to become the sector's number one player. Doing so will help attract developers, and in turn ensure that one product has a wider range of capabilities than the other. A spokesman for Amazon said the announcement was not meant to signal that it had become less committed to developing its own Echo speaker range, which uses Alexa. "Our vision is for Alexa to be everywhere, and that means making it available to other companies and services to integrate into a wide range of devices," he explained. "We expect Alexa to be in many devices over time, including products that compete with Echo, which is why we're investing in making a wide range of hands-free and far-field reference solutions available to OEMs [original equipment manufacturers]." Amazon's invite-only offer includes: Those taking advantage of the scheme will be given a reference kit as a starting point for their own designs, and the freedom to source components from a range of parts manufacturers. Amazon does not reveal sales figures for its Echo devices, but analysts have estimated that more than eight million have been sold in the US alone since their launch in 2014. The speakers are also available in the UK, Germany and Austria. Amazon has also formed partnerships with LG, Ford and Huawei, among others, to build Alexa into products including fridges, cars and smartphones. Google released its rival voice-activated Home speaker last November, which is powered by Google Assistant - a variation of the digital helper it developed for Android handsets. Many smartphone-makers have since adopted it, and Nvidia has added the tech to its latest TV set-top box. "Amazon needs to be very careful that it isn't eclipsed by Google," commented Ben Wood from the tech consultancy CCS Insight. "Google can just roll the Assistant out to hundreds of millions of Android smartphones, so people get it by default, whereas Amazon has to work harder to get Alexa into people's hands or appliances. "This offer shows Amazon has fully understood the hardware is just a means to an ends and that the real prize is getting people to use its platform, because scale gives such an advantage in this field," he added. A motorist reported someone in a passing, blue car throwing the box onto their bonnet at Gelligaer Common. The black and white female cat - believed to be blind - was not injured in the incident at 22:00 BST on Sunday. RSPCA inspector Sophie Daniels described the incident as "shocking" and asked for information. Graves suggested in March that the batsman, sacked by England in 2014, could return with good county form. But new ECB director of cricket Andrew Strauss said he would not be selected over "trust" issues, with Pietersen describing the decision as "deceitful". Graves insists he "did not make any promises" to the 34-year-old. He added in a statement: "Kevin was told on Monday and I completely support the decision that was taken. He may not have liked what he heard but it allowed him to look at his opportunities. "Despite everything, he can work with us to rebuild the relationship and make a further contribution to English cricket. It was important he knew where he stood." In the statement, Graves also said: Strauss offered Pietersen a role as an advisor on a board to improve the one-day side, which was turned down. Pietersen's omission has divided opinion, particularly after he scored an unbeaten 355 for Surrey against Leicestershire earlier this week. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Pietersen said he had been "misled" by the ECB. "I just find it incredibly deceitful what has happened to me," he said. "I am angry and hurt but right now there is nothing I can do about it." Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme in early March, Graves refused to rule out a recall for Pietersen but said selectors and coaches would make any final decision. Graves later told the Telegraph that the selectors "can't ignore" Pietersen if he "scores a lot of runs" for a county side. "Forget personalities," he added. "Selectors pick the best players in form, taking wickets and scoring runs. That is their job." Meanwhile, Angus Porter, chief executive of the Professional Cricketers' Association, said he has had no recent contact with Pietersen or his advisors. He hopes England's players will be allowed to ignore the saga and focus on the upcoming series against New Zealand and Australia. "The policy on Pietersen is a matter for the ECB board," Porter told BBC Sport. "The current England players are getting put in a really difficult position every time they are asked for their views. "It is nothing to do with the players. Managers manage and the players play. You just hope that the team will be given every support during what will be a very challenging summer ahead." The girl is being treated in hospital for grazes, cuts and bruises following the incident in Oxford on Monday. Police are hunting for the car - believed to a black or dark-coloured Audi - which did not stop after the crash in Mortimer Road, close to Nowell Road junction, at about 16:15 GMT. Witnesses are urged to contact Thames Valley Police. PC Daniel Watford of the Roads Policing Unit said: "It is hard to believe that a driver would not stop at the scene following an accident, especially when a young child is involved. "I would therefore appeal to anyone who may have any information, no matter how insignificant they think it might be, to search their conscience and contact police." So why shouldn't Stoke Central culminate in an epic weather event. The day of storm Doris blew to smithereens so many of Paul Nuttall's brave words: "Stoke Central is the Brexit Capital". Oh really? When I questioned him during the only live television debate on Sunday Politics (Sunday 12 February, still available on the iplayer) I reminded him that UKIP's 'unique selling point' was no longer unique. The Conservatives were a Brexit party too these days, and they were in a position to deliver it. "Stoke Central is Brexit Central and it wants a true Brexiteer", he told me. "That's me". So how does that square with his declaration, at the moment of his defeat in the early hours of Friday morning, that Stoke Central was only seventy-second on his party's 'hit list' of target seats? Mr Nuttall took a huge risk in standing in this by-election so early in his leadership. If UKIP couldn't win here, how now can they hope to neutralise the growing number of very pointed questions: "What's the point of UKIP now that Brexit's happening anyway?" And even more awkwardly: "What's the point of Paul Nuttall himself?" It will be hard for him to dispel suspicions that the party's best days are behind it now that Nigel Farage is no longer leader. As his successor (but one) Mr Nuttall has sustained not only an election defeat but also some self-inflicted damage: first, over that house and the claim that he lived in Stoke and then, more damagingly, over Hillsborough and his false claim that he had lost close friends in the disaster. Paradoxically, a constituency which voted two-to-one to leave the EU has now returned, in Gareth Snell, a Labour MP who has compared Brexit with a pile of something unmentionable. Can it really be, as he said throughout the campaign, that it was more about "NHS Central" than the EU? The city's major acute hospital has recorded some of England's longest trolley waits. Significantly, Mr Snell identified the Royal Stoke University Hospital's budget deficit as his number one priority as the incoming MP. In reality, of course, NHS and Brexit are both still major factors here. A year after Stoke Central registered a turnout of under 50% in the 2015 General Election (the lowest in the UK), the turnout in last summer's referendum was significantly higher, with an 80% Leave vote among those who ventured to the polling stations on the city's Bentilee housing estate. It is hard to imagine such an emphatic expression of public sentiment simply vanishing into thin air. So how are we to account for this? Look a little more closely into the result and you see that it was the Conservatives who succeeded in turning this from what was originally billed as a two-horse race into a genuine three-party contest. They increased their share of the vote to finish third with only 80 fewer votes than UKIP. Which takes us back to the question I posed at the beginning about UKIP no longer being the only Brexit party in town. The Conservative candidate Jack Brereton went out of his way, time and again, to stress Theresa May's commitment to "a Brexit that works for everyone". In the process, he helped to blunt the UKIP challenge sufficiently for Labour to hang on to a seat which has been one of their strongholds since its inception 67 years ago. Add together the UKIP and Conservative votes and you have a combined total of 10,387 against Labour's 7,852. On this analysis, Brexit certainly doesn't look like a busted flush. But UKIP will have to work hard to dispel suggestions that they could well be. What's more, any Conservative strategist would far rather see Gareth Snell taking his seat on those famous green benches than Paul Nuttall. It all sets the scene for a vintage edition of Sunday Politics Midlands this weekend. I will be joined live in the studio by Stoke Central's victorious MP-elect Gareth Snell for his first major televised interview. Also live from UKIP's Black Country heartlands, we'll hear from one of their three Midlands MEPs Bill Etheridge: what does the future hold for him and for them now that they are confirmed as still just a one-man-band at Westminster? Also with me will be the Conservative MP for Cannock Chase, Amanda Milling and the Labour MP for Wolverhampton South West, Rob Marris. And I hope you will join me too, in our usual 11.00 slot on BBC One this Sunday morning (Sunday 26 February 2017) But what is it like for women who study and work in the field? We asked women from UCL to tell us about their experiences, why they chose science and whether women really do cry in labs. I was hugely influenced by my teachers to study science at GCSE and A-Level. I liked biology and chemistry and so a degree in biochemistry seemed a perfect option. I really believe that any positions in science should be based on ability rather than anything else and, from my experience, biosciences have a fairly even gender balance, especially when compared to other areas like engineering for example. I haven't faced any specific discrimination but I do think it can be harder for women if they have to take time off for maternity leave. It can slow your career progression and make it harder to move up. And no, women don't go around crying in the lab. I've seen more men getting angry and frustrated than I have women crying over a stressful job. I've never been told that I don't belong in science but I do think women are treated differently within the sector. There are so few women at the very top and I think progression is really hard. Women's competencies are often described differently. You hear a lot of "proficient" and "good at experiments" rather then "highly intelligent and insightful", which men get and suggest someone is more professor-level. I once worked on some programming and a male professor suggested "you could make it pink". I also went to a conference that had encouraged more women to attend but many men saw it that we were only there because we were women and not because we were as good as them. I was just quite shocked about how blatant they were about saying those things to us. I also think women have a hard time challenging what their seniors say about them, as the industry is so dependent on recommendations and I don't think women feel comfortable challenging them. It can make women's aspirations more limited if they see that it is going to be much tougher for them. I went to a school that specialised in maths and science and when I started the line of boys was much longer than the line of girls. But by the time I left six years later it was much more even, so changes have happened even in a short time. There are so many career opportunities for women in science and I don't feel at this stage that anything is off limits. I've personally always enjoyed labs where there is more of a balance of men and women, as they can be much more productive and nicer environments but really I think it's much more down to personality than it is to gender. I always wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up and was really into science from a young age. My parents were both civil engineers, and growing up in Sri Lanka studying physics and maths was never seen as a boys thing to do. But since then I've had very different experiences. I see girls in my groups who are much less confident than boys, even though often they are much better students. I think it's from decades of these attitudes being reinforced. It's not from outright incidences of sexism but 1,000 small cuts that all add up. After I made an appearance on the BBC's Newsnight talking about astronomy a newspaper columnist suggested I was only on the programme because I was a woman. It hadn't even crossed my mind that anyone would think that and it was so upsetting. At the moment a few exceptional and hardy women make it to the top of my field of research but a lot of women leak out of the pipeline along the way. I really believe that equality will only be reached when average women get the same opportunities that average men do. I always knew I wanted to do a maths degree. My school was pretty good at encouraging me and I never felt it was something I was being persuaded against, but then I've also never really felt the need to conform, so maybe that's why I just stuck with what I was determined to do. I did notice the gender difference when I got to university though. About a quarter of the people on my undergraduate degree course were female and the proportions went down and down after that, which makes you more aware you are in the minority. There are just as many career opportunities for women in this area but I wonder if the perception is very different or whether it comes down to a confidence issue among some women. I have two young children but I've always found it to be a very family friendly career. I am in a research job, so my hours are more flexible, but I know this isn't the case for women who work in lab science where it isn't always that easy. I didn't take off a huge amount of time when I had my children. Research can move on quite quickly and I was aware of that and it wasn't always easy getting back into work. Harry Maceachen's infectious laughter and excited energy captured hearts - and distracted presenters. Born with a rare liver disease, Harry needed a transplant for his first birthday and now needs another. His father Simon will become a living donor as no suitable match has been found from the organ donor register. More on Harry's story and updates from Shropshire Harry, from Shrewsbury, was born with biliary atresia which meant he had blocked bile ducts. He was treated at Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. "The first transplant was a success, there was no problem with rejection or anything like that," said his mother Clare Maceachen. "He's had a very rare mechanical failure - more of a plumbing issue - but hopefully after the next transplant he won't need another. "We could still get a call right up to next week saying they've found a match, but it's looking increasingly likely it will be Simon." "Children don't need a full liver and Simon's will grow back," said Mrs Maceachen. "We've explained to Harry what is going to happen and I think it's been easier for him to understand he is going to be having part of daddy's tummy rather than the alternative." Simon is a volunteer at Shrewsbury Parkrun and he and his family fundraise for the Children Liver Disease Foundation. The University of Cambridge researchers say their findings from more than 300 boys help unravel the causes of autism - a condition that affects both sexes but is far more common in males. But they say it does not mean a prenatal test for autism is near. Nor will it necessarily be possible to stop autism by blocking the hormones. The hormones in question - testosterone and three other steroid hormones - were important for foetal development, which meant it could be too risky to block them, they told the journal Molecular Psychiatry. But the findings did pinpoint an important window in foetal development when autism might be triggered, they said. The study authors, Dr Michael Lombardo and Prof Simon Baron-Cohen, looked at stored samples of amniotic fluid - the liquid that surrounds a baby while in the womb - to see if there was anything about this early environment that might explain autism risk. They found that for 128 boys who later went on to develop autism, levels of steroid hormone in the amniotic fluid that had bathed them as a baby in the womb were, on average, particularly high. In comparison, far lower levels of steroid hormone were detected in the corresponding amniotic fluid of a control group of 217 boys without autism. Prof Baron-Cohen said: "This is one of the earliest non-genetic biomarkers that has been identified in children who go on to develop autism. "We previously knew that elevated prenatal testosterone is associated with slower social and language development, better attention to detail, and more autistic traits. Now, for the first time, we have also shown that these steroid hormones are elevated in children clinically diagnosed with autism. "Because some of these hormones are produced in much higher quantities in males than in females, this may help us explain why autism is more common in males." The study did include some girls, but the researchers say they need to do more investigating to see if a similar association between sex hormones and autism might exist in females. Steroid hormones influence how instructions in our genetic code - DNA - are translated into making important proteins. The researchers believe that altering this process in early life when the building blocks for the brain are being laid down may explain how genetic risk factors for autism get expressed or "switched on". The exact causes of autism are unknown, although it is thought that genes and environmental factors are involved. The developmental disorder usually starts to develop in childhood and can cause problems with social interaction, language skills and behaviour. Prof Richard Sharpe, an expert at the University of Edinburgh, said the work was "an important first step" on the path to discovering what causes autism. Richard Mills, of Research Autism said: "Despite a growing awareness of the biological and genetic nature of autism, there is currently no agreed biological or genetic marker for autism, with diagnosis made on the basis of early developmental history and behavioural criteria. "So research that sheds light on this specific area is critical to our understanding of this mysterious and highly complex group of conditions." A gang of masked men broke into a house at Ballygomartin Drive on Friday shortly before 21:40 BST and attacked him with iron bars and a hatchet. They beat the man, who is a Catholic, in front of his girlfriend and their eleven-week-old baby. Sectarian graffiti was daubed on the house claiming to be from the UDA. The couple had been living in the home for less than five weeks. A red car parked outside was also damaged in the attack. Police have appealed for information. The UK anthem, God Save the Queen, is currently used during some sporting events but Chesterfield MP Toby Perkins believes England should have its own. He intends to bring his English National Anthem Bill to Parliament on 13 January. If MPs voted in favour, a public consultation would be held to choose a song. The Labour MP said: "I have nothing against God Save the Queen but that is the national anthem of the United Kingdom. "England is a component part of the UK but it competes as a country in its own right and I think a song that celebrated England rather than Britain would be more appropriate." Mr Perkins said he was proud to be both English and British but they were "not the same thing". His proposed new law would bestow a responsibility on the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to hold a consultation. All relevant sporting bodies would be instructed to use the chosen anthem prior to international sporting contests, at medal awarding ceremonies and whenever else a national anthem was required for teams or athletes representing England. God Save the Queen would continue to be used for teams or individuals representing Great Britain or the UK. "I hope that Scots and Welsh will also recognise this not as an anti-union move, but a pro-union one," said Mr Perkins. "By recognising that England is a component part of the union but a different entity, I think this strengthens both our Englishness but also reminds us all of what the union is." Liberal Democrat MP Greg Mulholland raised the same issue in Parliament in 2010. Prime Minister David Cameron has said that Jerusalem would be his choice for England's national anthem, according to the ConservativeHome website. Jerusalem was chosen as the anthem to be played for English athletes competing at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi following a month-long public vote. Voters were able to choose from three songs, and Jerusalem beat both the UK national anthem and the anthem previously used for English athletes competing at Commonwealth Games. Jerusalem drew 52.5% of the votes Land of Hope and Glory was voted for by 32.5% God Save The Queen was voted for by 12% Survey by YouGov of 1,896 entrants The 23-year-old defender played 42 games for the Whites prior to joining Orient in July 2015. Essam, who has made 26 appearances for Orient this season, last featured in their 1-0 win at Oxford on 12 March. He could go straight into the side when Dover Athletic play host to Torquay United on Saturday. The vessel, called the Mangyongbong, will sail once a week to the port city and will also carry cargo. North Korea is under wide-ranging UN sanctions. The ferry service comes amid heightened tension between North Korea and the US over Pyongyang's missile tests and efforts to develop a nuclear arsenal. A Chinese tour operator sent some staff on the inaugural voyage. The ferry has a restaurant, bars and a karaoke room. Chinese tourists are expected to use the service to visit communist North Korea and Russia. A Russian firm, InvestStroiTrest, is operating the ferry from the North Korean port of Rajin. The firm runs an import/export business at Rajin, handling freight shipping as far as Vietnam and Thailand. In 2015 the BBC's Stephen Sackur visited Vladivostok and found many North Koreans employed on building sites, earning much-needed cash for the isolated communist regime in Pyongyang. Japan's Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida has voiced concern to Russia about the new ferry service, noting the UN sanctions imposed on North Korea because of its nuclear programme. Russia's close economic links with North Korea date back to the Cold War, when they were ideological allies hostile to the West. Russia's government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta says the Mangyongbong will carry essential goods and other cargo, "which will undergo strict control at Russian customs". The Mangyongbong was built in 1971 and modernised last year, Russia's Tass news agency reports. It can carry up to 200 passengers and about 1,500 tonnes of cargo. The UN sanctions on North Korea ban: American Snedeker, 35, posted his score on a weather-hit Sunday before play was curtailed. Jimmy Walker resumed his final round with a one-stroke lead but bogeyed four of his last eight holes to slip back. South Korea's KJ Choi had a chance to force a play-off but missed a 30-feet putt on the 18th green. Snedeker, who also won the event in 2012, carded a 69 in his final round, despite gusting winds and bursts of heavy rain. The wind was still bad enough on Monday to prevent any spectators being allowed on to the course near San Diego in California. And no-one was able to conquer the conditions to beat Snedeker's clubhouse lead as he collected his eighth USPGA tour title. "I thought I was out of the tournament starting on Sunday morning," he said. Meanwhile, Jim Furyk, 45, is expected to miss the Masters in April as he requires surgery to clear up an ongoing wrist injury. The 2003 US Open champion will be out for a further three months.

When she returned to the UK Ms Bates was referred to the specialist burns service at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital by her doctor. Dr Chris Flower, of the Cosmetic, Toiletry & Perfumery Association, warned people could be scarred for life if they had black henna tattoos. BBC London's Yvonne Hall spoke to Ms Bates and Dr Flower.

Dozens of UK users of Apple's Safari web browser claim Google bypassed a privacy setting without telling them. The Sunday Times reported that Google's lawyers have filed papers with the High Court which said any information gleaned from its search engine was not "private or confidential". Google declined to comment. The case is in its early stages and lawyers have yet to appear in court to present their arguments. However, Google has already been fined by the US trade watchdog for flouting Safari security settings. The British claimants, who launched their campaign earlier in the year, argued that between summer 2011 and spring 2012 they were assured by Google that their online activity was not being tracked, and believed Safari's settings to be secure. But, they say, cookies - which allow websites to "remember" the user - were used to collect data about the online activities of web users to allow Google to provide targeted advertising to them. Safari has a setting that is supposed to block the cookie software used by internet companies to track their customers' behaviour. Google, worth about $285bn (£182bn), has suggested that British courts should not decide the matter, and the case should be heard by a court in California because that is where the company's software is based, according to reports. The internet giant has tried to use this tactic in other cases against it, Mr Tench said. But the lawyer said he believed the "harmful action" took place in the UK, where his clients lived and accessed the internet, so it would be appropriate for the case to proceed here. "Google are trying to resist this claim on the basis of whether the UK is the appropriate jurisdiction to bring the action," he said. "If they were right, that would constitute a very significant, practical handicap on anybody bringing any complaint against Google." A British judge is expected to rule on the issue of jurisdiction in October. In its submission to the UK's High Court, Google also said the information taken was not "private or confidential". Mr Tench said: "I do find it surprising that Google is seriously trying to contend that there is no expectation of privacy in one's history of internet usage. "That is something inherently, intimately, personal, where one would have a very high expectation of privacy." Most grammar schools have been using unofficial tests to select pupils since 2008, when the 11-plus was scrapped by the Department of Education. There are two testing systems - GL Assessment exams are mostly used by Catholic schools, while AQE exams are mostly used by controlled schools. Primary Seven pupils can opt to sit either exam, both GL and AQE, or none. However, some of Northern Ireland's 66 grammars accept results from both tests. According to figures provided by the two testing organisations, the number of entrants fell slightly in 2016/17. There were a total of 14,491 entrants to the tests this year, down from 14,575 in 2015/16. A total of 7,725 pupils sat this year's AQE exam, while the final number sitting the GL Assessment test was 6,766. It is estimated that about 2,000 pupils sit both tests. There have been attempts to create a single exam, with fresh talks between AQE and the Post-Primary Transfer Consortium (PPTC) - which runs the GL Assessment test - taking place since October 2016. Although sources in both organisations told the BBC good progress had been made, there is no sign yet of agreement on a common transfer test. It is therefore almost certain that there will be no single test by the time this year's entrants sit the exams in November 2017. In September 2016, Stormont's Department of Education reversed a long-standing policy by allowing primary schools to prepare pupils for the tests. However, that policy could be changed again by whoever takes the education portfolio following the assembly election. Although pupils will receive their test mark on Saturday, they will not know which post-primary school they will transfer to until May or June. Abbie Ferguson from Ballywalter in County Down, who sat the AQE exam, was among the children who received their test results. She said she had "butterflies" in her stomach on Saturday morning before the post arrived, but was delighted with the outcome, gaining a score of 105. Her mother Ann was full of praise for Abbie and said she had been preparing for the test for nearly a year. "I am the proudest mother there ever could be, I am so, so proud of her," she added. Irish state broadcaster RTÉ has reported that the incident happened as one aircraft was taxiing to a stand. No passengers were injured, and there was no disruption to any flights. It is understood tenders from Dublin Fire Brigade were sent to the airport as a precautionary measure. Glenn Jordan from Bangor, County Down, was one of the passengers caught up in the disruption. Writing on Twitter, he said the collision had been "nothing too dramatic". "Loud bang and the plane shook for a few seconds. Kept on board for over an hour though," he said in reply to a tweet. In a post three hours later, he said: "About to board again #Ryanair hope the rear view mirror is clear and L plates are down #collision #dublinairport." One passenger told RTÉ people on her flight remained on board for about an hour before being allowed off. A spokesperson for the Dublin Airport Authority has said that the airport is fully operational, although there are "minor" delays to some flights. She said the incident happened on a taxi-way area, and the main runways are not affected. The two planes will remain in place until investigators from the Air Accident Unit arrive. The spokesperson said this section of airport will be out of bounds for aircraft for a time, and will mean departing and arriving planes will take a slightly longer route to and from runways. In a statement, Ryanair said: "Two of our aircraft were taxiing slowly to the runway at Dublin Airport this morning. The winglet of one aircraft appears to have scraped the tail of the other. "There was no impact on customers on board. Ryanair has contacted the IAA and is working with them to return both aircraft to stand and allow normal operations at Dublin Airport to resume. "Ryanair apologises sincerely to customers for any inconvenience." He was speaking at the 100th passing out parade of new officers at Garnerville on Friday. Mr Hamilton said: "We want the police service to be as representative as it possibly can be." He said he wanted to go over and above the Patten recommendations. The Patten Commission, established in 1998 as part of the Belfast Agreement, suggested at least 30% of police officers should be catholic. Now about 32% of the PSNI is catholic, but Mr Hamilton told BBC News he wanted to go further. "I'd like to see it at 50%", he said. The 47 student officers who graduated at the milestone event will now complete a two-year probationary period. During the course of the 9-week trial, the 35-year-old trader was portrayed by the prosecution as the "ringmaster" in a global conspiracy, but by the defence as a minor player who was "thrown under a bus" by his bank employers. In the end the jury believed the prosecution counsel. So who is the man, nicknamed "the Rainman" by his colleagues, now convicted with conspiracy to manipulate one of the world's most important financial benchmark rates? Mr Hayes said he never had any great ambitions to go into the world of high finance. Having spent his university summer holidays working in a restaurant kitchen, he decided that once he graduated he wanted to earn a bit more money than he earned cleaning out deep fat fryers and de-boning chicken. Hayes gained a degree in maths and engineering from Nottingham University - just two years before Kweko Adeboli, the UBS trader jailed for unauthorised trades which cost the bank £1.4bn. My managers knew, my manager's manager knew. In some cases the CEO [chief executive] was aware of it Hayes' natural ability with numbers was enough to impress the recruiters at RBS, who offered him a place on their graduate trainee scheme in 2001. There he had his first introduction to the workings of the financial markets, before moving on to Royal Bank of Canada and then to UBS in September 2006. It was at the UBS office in Tokyo that he started trading a financial product based on the Libor rate. Libor: What is it and why does it matter? Mr Hayes didn't deny that while at UBS, and subsequently at Citibank, he attempted to manipulate the Libor rate. Or that the conversations in online chatrooms and the bank's internal messaging system, that were used in evidence, were genuine. But when the court heard that he was colluding to set the Libor rate to his own advantage, his response was that manipulating Libor was common practice at the banks where he worked and that his superiors were aware of what he was doing. He argued he was being made the scapegoat for wrongdoing when in reality many others had been involved long before he started in the industry. None of that contradicts the prosecution's claims that he was an "extremely intelligent man" who used his gift for numbers to make huge profits for his employers- and in return received considerable remuneration. Mr Hayes was paid £1.3m for just over three years' work at UBS, but he became frustrated believing the bank was reneging on a deal on his pay. He left to take up a similar position at Citi where he was then paid £3.5m for the nine months he worked there, before being sacked in September 2010 over allegations of manipulating the Libor rate. Mr Hayes then returned to the UK and handed himself into the Serious Fraud Office. He told the court that he was "frozen with fear" at the possibility he would be charged by the US authorities, saying he thought he could be jailed for decades. He ended up giving over 80 hours of recorded interviews to the SFO in which he admitted to his part in trying to manipulate the Libor rate. "I mean I probably deserve to be sitting here because, you know, I made concerted efforts to influence Libor," Mr Hayes told the SFO. "Although I was operating within a system or participating within a system in which it was commonplace, you know, ultimately I was someone who was a serial offender." Having made the confession he subsequently pulled out of the SFO process and decided to fight the legal proceedings against him. He told the court that he felt more confident having his fate decided by 12 jurors than in what he called a 'politically driven process' brought by the SFO. Hayes has had to fight against a huge weight of evidence showing Bloomberg instant messaging chats and other online exchanges which appeared to incriminate him. In one chat he told an RBS trader: "Three-month Libor is too high, 'cos I've kept it artificially high". He explained he was able to do this by being 'mates' with traders at another bank. In a phone call played to the court he offered 'a humungous deal' of $50,000 to $100,000 if his contact kept his Libor submission at a particular rate. But another time he suggested a mars bar was enough to persuade other traders to help fix the rate. The judge told the jury that Mr Hayes had been diagnosed with a "mild" form of Asperger's syndrome, which meant that he saw issues in black and white rather than shades of grey. During his evidence Hayes insisted he did not know or think he was doing anything dishonest as the activities were so common within the industry. Mr Hayes told the court that he did not always fit in with his bank colleagues who nicknamed him "Tommy chocolate" due to his enthusiasm for drinking hot chocolate while others drank beer at social events. He also said that his colleagues would mock him for keeping a childhood superhero duvet cover well into his adult life. While on the stand Mr Hayes was keen to portray himself as part of wider system of wrongdoing in the banking system. "I acted with complete transparency to my employers. My managers knew, my manager's manager knew. In some cases the CEO [chief executive] was aware of it," Mr Hayes told the court. He denied that what he was doing was "clandestine" and said that he made no attempts to "cover his tracks", even posting on Facebook about his Libor related trades. During the trial, Mr Hayes talked about how hard the legal process had been for his wife and young child. He told the jury that he had found it hard not being able to work in the financial services sector since his arrest and that although he had studied for an MBA, he did not think he had been very good at it. While the court case has put him firmly in the spotlight, there are other Libor trials to follow. The SFO has charged 11 others over Libor rigging, having received special funding from the Treasury to pursue prosecutions. For now Tom Hayes is the only individual to take the rap for his part in one of the most shameful episodes in financial history. Media playback is not supported on this device The 34-year-old flanker played a world-record 148 Tests, 131 of them wins, and led the All Blacks to two World Cup final victories, including last month's triumph against Australia. McCaw is also a three-time winner of the World Player of the Year award. The news, expected for some time, comes 24 hours after the death of iconic All Blacks winger Jonah Lomu. "Today, I thought about whether it was the right thing to do," said McCaw. "But I'm going to be hanging up my boots." Before the news conference to announce his retirement those present held a minute's silence in memory of Lomu, whose death at the age of 40 was described as "a big shock" by McCaw. "My thoughts and condolences go to his wife and two boys," added McCaw, a former team-mate of the giant winger. "When I became an All Black he was in the team. To play with him was amazing. I remember one of my first games, I climbed off the bus and the mob came towards me and I thought 'this is pretty cool, being an All Black' but they kept going because they only wanted to be near to Jonah. "There are a lot of people round the world hurting at the loss of a great man." McCaw, who now plans to pursue a career as a helicopter pilot, won 131 of his Tests and captained the All Blacks 110 times - both also all-time world records. "My last game was the World Cup final, so the end of something that has been a big part of my life," he said. "I made no secret this year was probably going to be my last, but deep down I didn't want to shut the door totally. I was worried the emotion might get to me in a World Cup year, by leaving that door open it didn't feel final until now. "It has been a hell of a journey over the last 15 years. I've been privileged to do what I love for so long. Here's to new adventures." McCaw said he had played some of his best rugby "in the last few weeks", and All Blacks coach Steve Hansen agreed, saying the World Cup final was "one of his best games". "We will miss him but he has to pick the right time to go and he has done that," said Hansen. "On the top of the heap." Seven people were killed in Germany, including two men whose car was hit by a tree. German media reports that there have been dozens of injuries from flying branches. In Austria, a man fell from a ladder and suffered fatal head injuries while securing an awning over his patio. Forecasters said that on Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze, winds of more than 190km/h (118 mph) were recorded. Rail services were disrupted and the main station in Munich had to be evacuated due to concerns that parts of the roof might collapse. A man in Birmingham, UK, was seriously injured when his car was crushed by a falling tree. The biggest winds in the Netherlands were put at 120km/h (75mph) by weather site Weeronline. Toppled lorries were left scattered across Dutch roads. As the storm, dubbed Niklas, swept from the west across Germany, regional rail services came to a halt in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, while many Germans were trying to get away ahead of the Easter holiday period. A man was killed when a concrete wall fell on top of him in the eastern town of Gross Santersleben, police said. Flights were disrupted at airports in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich. Media playback is not supported on this device In a ruling released by the Football Assocation, a commission chaired by barrister Craig Moore accepted Moyes' comments were "attempted humour". However, it said his actions were "wholly unacceptable". He was fined £30,000 by the FA in June. The ruling has now been published. Moyes' comments came following the Black Cats' home draw against Burnley in the Premier League in March. The Scot was asked by Sparks if the presence of Sunderland's owner Ellis Short had put extra pressure on him. Moyes responded to Sparks' question about Short's presence by saying "no", but after the interview added she "might get a slap even though you're a woman" and told her to be "careful" next time she visited. Both Moyes and Sparks were laughing during the exchange and the former Everton and Manchester United manager later apologised to Sparks, who did not make a complaint. Moyes, who resigned as Sunderland boss in May, subsequently expressed "deep regret" for his comment. "That's certainly not the person I am," he said. "I've accepted the mistake. I spoke to the BBC reporter, who accepted my apology." The report said: "It is no answer for Mr Moyes to say that his comments were intended as mere banter, or a joke, and were not to be taken seriously. "We are satisfied from his oral evidence to us that he was at least irritated by what he considered to be a 'rude' question and that he wanted to convey the sense to Ms Sparks that, in asking it, she had crossed what he regarded as an acceptable boundary. "When Ms Sparks asked him whether he felt under any additional pressure due to the presence of the club owner at the match, it was a reasonable question for a journalist to ask and one that he might have anticipated. It did not merit any censure. "We find that the threat of physical violence was not one that a reasonable person viewing the video footage would seriously consider Mr Moyes would carry through with. Instead, the implication of his comments was that Ms Sparks had had her 'card marked'. "We accept that Mr Moyes attempted humour, but it was still his intention to convey a point to Ms Sparks, which he succeeded in doing, and in an entirely inappropriate way. "It is wholly unacceptable for a high profile Premier League manager whose statements/opinions are closely scrutinised, to threaten physical violence towards a journalist in the terms used by Mr Moyes, or at all." During the hearing, Moyes' lawyer Paul Gilroy QC, tried to have the case thrown out because of "fundamentally prejudicial" comments made by FA chairman Greg Clarke in the days after incident became public. Gilroy said that when Clarke told reporters that "the disciplinary team will crack down on people who break the rules" and "will decide whether the rules have been broken and what an appropriate sanction should be" it meant Moyes would not be treated fairly. But the panel said Moyes had a "fair hearing, free from any bias on the part of the commission". Miller Argent said the surface coal mine in the Rhymney Valley would provide up to 239 full-time jobs. If the scheme is backed the company said it would invest nearly £13m annually in the site. But cosmetics firm Richards & Appleby said it would move its manufacturing department if the mine came into use. It said it was concerned coal dust at the Nant Llesg site could contaminate production. Around 1,000 people work in the coal industry in Wales, the majority in opencast mines like Ffos-y-Fran in Merthyr Tydfil. Miller Argent already employs 200 staff at Ffos-y-Fran which is Wales' largest. But there has been opposition to the proposals for Nant Llesg, with campaigners claiming the legacy of the opencast mine would last considerably longer than its planned 14-year life. Mitchell Field, managing director of Rhymney cosmetics company Richards & Appleby which neighbours the planned mine in Rhymney, employs 140 people and supplies products to the likes of Harrods, Harvey Nichols, John Lewis and Selfridges, and exports to 60 countries. He said if the opencast mine went ahead then the manufacturing part of his business, employing 90 staff, would have to relocate. Mr Mitchell said the manufacture of a new cosmetics range from actress Joan Collins had already switched to Italy over fears coal dust could contaminate make-up and face cream production in the future. "We've been aware of the plans for about 18 months but it's disappointing that the plans have now been submitted," added Mr Field, who said other businesses and residents in the area were opposed to the mine plans. "New work on a Joan Collins product range has already gone to Italy and that would have created 70 jobs. The distribution will still be carried out here. We can bring the work back here at any time but at the moment we can't take the risk. "It simply wouldn't be suitable to have dust polluting the products. Joan Collins is a major product for us and we can't afford recalls, it could wreck a brand. "We came here originally because of the good air and water quality. It's madness to turn back the clock and return to mining in an area you have already regenerated." The majority of the coal produced at Ffos-y-Fran and Nant Llesg would be used to power Tata Steel's plant in Port Talbot and RWE's Aberthaw Power Station in the Vale of Glamorgan. Neil Brown, Miller Argent's managing director, said: "We are pleased to be able to announce that after an extensive period of investigations and consultation, we have now submitted our planning application for a new surface coal mine at Nant Llesg. "Nant Llesg would provide further significant investment in the area, along with job creation and training opportunities, and we would look to work with local communities to ensure these are, as far as possible, filled by local people." Mr Brown said the company had held "extensive discussions" with council officers, councillors, the local community and local businesses, and the feedback had resulted in significant changes to its proposals. Plans for Nant Llesg, north of Fochriw and west of Rhymney, have been submitted to Caerphilly council. Subject to planning permission, work on the project could begin next year. A public exhibition will be held later this autumn for people to examine the final plans.

Kinsey scored in the 1956 FA Cup final for Birmingham as the Blues lost 3-1 to Manchester City. The match is best remembered for the bravery of Manchester City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann, who played on with a broken neck suffered in a collision. Kinsey played youth football for Cardiff City, and was appointed player-coach at Vale in 1960 before moving on to King's Lynn and Lowestoft Town. Officers found the child had got out of the window in Levenshulme, Greater Manchester, due to a damaged latch. She was taken to hospital for checks following the fall at 16:40 GMT on Tuesday but was later released. Insp Phil Spurgeon said the child was seen "running around the hospital as though nothing had happened." "A bump was seen on her head but the toddler was apparently otherwise unharmed... ", he said. He added: "Given the circumstances, a detective-led review of safeguarding took place but initial thoughts are that this was an accident with a miraculous ending. "A follow-up will be made to ensure that the landlord fixes the latch." The slower gains mark a break from a 12-month streak where employers added over 200,000 jobs each month. Severe winter weather, factory slowdowns, and dull construction activity contributed to the lacklustre numbers. The US unemployment rate held at 5.5%, the US Department of Labor said. "A range of factors including the weather and the global economic slowdown have affected economic data for the first quarter," said Jason Furman, Chairman of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers. Additionally, the job statistics for January and February were revised down by a combined 69,000 jobs. Factories shed 1,000 jobs after 19-months of hiring, while the construction industry broke a 15-month streak with same number of losses. Restaurant hiring took a sharp downward turn, while the sector for mining, logging, and oil drilling lost 11,000 jobs. Wage growth was unexceptional. Average hourly wages rose just $0.07 (£0.05) - a year-over-year rise of 2.1%. People in the US worked fewer hours on average in March than they did in February, meaning their actual earnings fell. Many Americans are out of the labour force, due in part to the large number of so-called "baby boomers" who are reaching retirement age. In March, only 62.7% of Americans were working or looking for work - a figured tied with the lowest rate since 1978. Cheaper gasoline and past job growth have not yet boosted consumer spending, and modest wage gains have burdened the US economy since the Great Recession ended nearly six years ago. The ivory weighs 110kg, which is more than a baby elephant, and includes tusks, carved bangles and beads. It was found last month at Terminal 4 in baggage left abandoned in transit from Angola to Hanover, Germany. Ivory trading is strictly controlled under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and a permit is required by EU law. The global trade in illegal wildlife products is said to be highly profitable. It was denounced by the Duke of Cambridge on Chinese television in October. Phil Douglas, the director of Border Force Heathrow, said: "This is one of the largest seizures of its kind made in the UK and it demonstrates the vigilance of our officers. "The illicit trade in animal products like ivory is a serious contributory factor in the threat of extinction faced by many endangered species and that is why the rules around it are so strict." Alexander Rhodes, chief executive of the Stop Ivory Group, said: "Ivory represents dead elephants. Seizing illegal shipments of ivory is a grisly but essential business. "Border Force and the NCA (National Crime Agency) should be congratulated on this major haul." The world's largest illegal ivory haul was seized in Malaysia in 2012 - it included 1,500 tusks. The NCA is investigating the Heathrow seizure. The Cameroonian, who has been in power since 1988, faces Madagascar FA head Ahmad in the vote in Addis Ababa. Manuel Nascimento is one of just two men to publicly back Hayatou, with the Comoros FA also offering its support. If Hayatou loses, I will quit football "If Hayatou loses, I will quit football," Nascimento said. Last year, Nascimento oversaw one of the most remarkable qualifications in Africa Cup of Nations history as rank outsiders Guinea-Bissau qualified for the tournament for the first time. They had never come close to qualification prior to that but duly recorded both their first point and first goals at the tournament in Gabon. So why is a president, in the midst of such a high, so prepared to put himself on the line? "Because I can guarantee there will only be a daily jumble in the institution (if Ahmad wins)," he told BBC Sport. "There is no one among us who can lead Caf better than Hayatou right now. You cannot compare the value that exists in this man as a leader with any other person in (African) football. "You cannot have a gentleman with the character, dignity and value of Hayatou and just say one day that you are going to humiliate him - that he is not entitled to rule Caf any more." "I do not agree with that. We should not be ungrateful." Nascimento, who also works in politics in his homeland, says he is among several African football leaders who convinced Hayatou not to step down this year. The 70-year-old had previously said that this would be his last term in office, only to later have a change of heart. "We have to protect our leader so that after this election, President Hayatou will say 'look, it's time for me to get rest - I did something good.' Many times he tried to do it, but we said - 'No, Caf will die if you quit,'" added Nascimento. Tunde Adelakun, who worked on a biography of Hayatou in recent years, says the son of a local ruler had once been looking forward to stepping away from Caf. "When I was writing his biography, we always thought that 2017 was going to be his final hurrah," the Nigerian told BBC Sport. "He told me he wanted to retire, return home to northern Cameroon, to Garoua, and do what his father bequeathed to him - the rulership of his town. He really was passionate about it and felt he hadn't had enough time over the last 20 years to do enough of that. It's the only place he can be totally relaxed. "People around him (appear to) have made the decision for him to stand - so whether they are looking after his interests or their own, since their livelihoods depend on him, becomes an issue." Hayatou hails from a political family, with his brother having once served as Prime Minister of Cameroon. His father was also a local ruler - known locally as a 'lamido' - with the hope being that Issa would one day follow the family business. Instead, the former athlete has established a political legacy of his own in African football administration - becoming the longest-serving ruler in Caf's history. On Thursday, he has the chance to extend his 29-year reign into a fourth decade. Whoever wins the vote will serve a four-year term. The move follows last week's attack in Nice in which 84 people were killed and scores injured when a lorry was driven into crowds. The state of emergency was brought in after terror attacks in Paris in November that left 130 people dead. Prime Minister Manuel Valls said France must expect more deadly attacks despite precautions taken by his government. Speaking at the debate in the National Assembly, he said France would have to learn to live with the threat. "Even if these words are hard to say, it's my duty to do so," he said. "There will be other attacks and there will be other innocent people killed. We must not become accustomed, we must never become accustomed, to the horror, but we must learn to live with this menace." The extension agreed in the early hours of Wednesday would take the state of emergency until the end of January 2017. It is the fourth extension France's parliament has proposed and the move must be approved by the Senate. The emergency measures give the police extra powers to carry out searches and to place people under house arrest. Earlier this month, President Francois Hollande said he did not intend to extend the state of emergency beyond 26 July. The last extension was to cover the Euro 2016 football tournament and the end of the Tour de France cycling race. A recent commission of inquiry found that the state of emergency was only having a "limited impact" on improving security. It questioned the deployment of between 6,000 and 7,000 soldiers to protect schools, synagogues, department stores and other sensitive sites. Ian Taylor stopped proceedings for the Portland helicopter, which was retired on Friday after 22 years. The helicopter has been axed in favour of a Hampshire-based regional service. The coastguard said the diver was rescued within 40 minutes, but Mr Taylor said the wait for the rescue earlier was "disgraceful". He interrupted a memorial service, which included the unveiling of a commemorative stone, at Portland harbour. He apologised and was applauded by those who had gathered for the service as he left. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the "unwell diver" - a man - was airlifted to hospital but did not give any further details of his condition. "For a significant proportion of their time, coastguard helicopters are not on the ground at their base but are out conducting their duties around the UK," a spokeswoman added. "When an incident occurs, the UK Coastguard tasks the most appropriate resources, be they lifeboats, coastguard rescue teams, helicopters or other local resources." The memorial stone bears the names of all 46 former crew and staff. The decision to retire the service comes despite a campaign and 100,000-signature petition to save it. It is part of a new restructuring of the MCA that will see a fleet of search and rescue helicopters operate from 10 bases around the UK. The MCA said it was 15 minutes flying time from Lee-on-Solent, where the new Leonardo AW189 helicopter is based, to Portland. Heli Operations saved the Portland helicopter base at Osprey Quay last year and it will now be used as a refuelling facility. It is the latest example of the largest local party being left in opposition. Last week, a proposed coalition deal between Labour and the Conservatives in West Lothian was vetoed by the party's executive body. Administrations have still to be formed in Edinburgh and Clackmannanshire. Media playback is not supported on this device Rooney, 30, featured as a forward and in midfield under previous England manager Roy Hodgson during Euro 2016. Allardyce said it was too soon to confirm whether Rooney, England's record scorer, would remain as captain. "I still think Wayne Rooney has a massive place to play in the England side," said the 61-year-old. "If Jose says he is not going to play him in centre midfield and he is playing up front and scoring goals for Manchester United then it would be pointless me bringing him into England and playing him in centre midfield." With Rooney likely to face competition for a starting spot at Old Trafford from forwards Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial, Allardyce said a player's club form will be important in him being selected. "I don't know until that happens with anybody, let alone Wayne Rooney," he added. "I hope there are standout players all over the place when the Premier League starts. "I hope it's a hugely difficult task for me to pick my first squad because everybody is on really good form and playing exceptionally well." Allardyce's first game in charge will be a World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on 4 September, and he hopes to have made contact with Premier League managers to "hear their thoughts" before choosing his squad. "We've got to try and help each other if we possibly can," said Allardyce, who has more than two decades' worth of domestic coaching experience. "It won't always be the case, the demands on Premier League managers and demand on me as England manager is bound to cause some conflict down the line because the pressures are far greater than ever before. "So they are bound to want to protect their players and that is what I have to try and overcome with a little bit of give and take, hopefully." Allardyce, who has managed clubs including Sunderland, West Ham, Newcastle and Bolton, believes England had the players to win Euro 2016 "had they all performed to their best". Having signed a two-year deal with the Football Association, he said taking England further than they have progressed at recent tournaments is a "different level" of challenge. Media playback is not supported on this device Allardyce added: "I think that this is a new challenge for me. It's outside of my comfort zone, which is what I like. "The challenge of the Premier League is not as big a challenge to me as when I first got there because I've done it for so long. I've managed in there for such a long time that I know I can achieve at that level. "I'm ready for this now. After 950 games as a manager there is something you want to change in your life sometimes and this was it for me."

After resuming on 163-4, still only 73 runs in front, the hosts' initial job was simply to save the game. Captain Ryan ten Doeschate's 109 helped to do that before Napier took over. He hit 124, only his seventh first-class century, including three late sixes in one over, as Essex declared on 470-8 before hands were shaken. David Masters was still there at the end on 47, while Tom Westley earlier weighed in with 44. Essex's haul of 11 points from the match takes them back to the top of Division Two by one point from Kent, while Sussex, although still unbeaten in 10 games, are in sixth, now 41 points off top spot. Taoiseach Enda Kenny said he made no apology for defending the Irish government's right to appeal. The decision to appeal was agreed by the Irish cabinet on Friday morning. Apple chief executive Tim Cook said he was "very confident" the ruling would be overturned on appeal. He called the European Commission's decision "maddening" and "political". Speaking after the cabinet meeting, Mr Kenny said: "This is about Ireland, it is about our people, it's about us as a sovereign nation, actually setting out what we consider our appropriate policies". "A motion will come before the Dail (parliament) on Wednesday seeking an endorsement of that decision," said a government spokesman on Friday. €13bn demanded in back taxes. Equal to: ALL of Ireland's healthcare budget 66% of its social welfare bill 15 million iPhones 27% of Apple's 2015 profit The cabinet first met on Wednesday but decided to adjourn until Friday for "further time to reflect on the issues and to clarify a number of legal and technical issues". Analysis: Shane Harrison, Dublin correspondent This is a minority Fine Gael government that includes independents. It is dependent on the support of the main opposition party, Fianna Fáil. Fianna Fáil has indicated that it wants to see an appeal of the commission's ruling, if only to see who is right - Brussels, or Dublin - on whether or not the Irish government had a secret deal with Apple. Also at stake is the credibility of the independent tax authority in the Republic, the Revenue Commissioners. For the government to turn down 13bn euros, equivalent to the country's annual health budget, is a huge political ask. The government's view is that it is in Ireland's long-term interest not to be seen as a tax haven, but to be seen as transparent regarding its taxation. Apple chief executive Tim Cook said on Thursday that the European Commission's decision was "maddening" and "political". He was "very confident" the ruling would be overturned on appeal, he added. However, European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager rejected Mr Cook's claims. "The is a decision based on the facts of the case, looking into Apple Sales International, how they are arranged within Ireland, and the profits recorded there," she said. Sandra Bland died three days after a physical confrontation with a white police officer during a traffic stop. Police say that Bland hanged herself while being held in the Waller county jail. The family have denied that she was suicidal. In the last 12 months, the death of black Americans in police custody has caused debate and protests. An official post-mortem examination report found that Bland had hanged herself while in her cell. The wrongful death lawsuit was announced in Houston by the family of the 28-year-old Chicago native. In it, they name State Trooper Brian Encinia, the Texas Department of Public Safety in Waller County, the county's sheriff's department and two jailers as defendants. The lawsuit seeks unspecified punitive damages "for egregious acts and omissions" and alleges Mr Encinia falsified an assault allegation to take Bland into custody. The jail is accused of being "reckless" in disregarding her safety and failing to keep her free from harm. Dashcam video shows Bland's car being pulled over on 10 July for failing to signal during a lane change. An argument began after Bland was asked to put out her cigarette and demanding she get out of her car. Mr Encinia, 30, then points his stun gun at Bland, telling her "I will light you up" after she refuses his orders. Bland was arrested for assaulting an officer. On 13 July she was found dead in her jail cell. The Texas Department of Public Safety had previously said that Trooper Encinia had acted improperly during the stop. Protestors from the "Black Lives Matter" movement have been holding rallies around the US to demand answers from Texas authorities. The 29-year-old man was charged with unlawful possession of weapons and endangering the public. Weapons, explosives and police uniforms were found in his flat in the city of Ostrava and detectives say he was using the name Breivik on the internet. The man has five convictions, one for blowing up a wooden shack. Neighbours told Czech media that the suspect, whose name has not been released, had mental problems but did not appear to be an extremist. Police searched the man's apartment on 10 August but have only now disclosed details of what was found. They raided the property after being tipped off that he was planning to detonate a large explosive device crafted from an aircraft bomb. He was carrying a remote-controlled detonator when he was arrested last week. About 400 ammunition rounds, police uniforms and masks were also found in his flat. At a news conference, police said they did not know the suspect's intended target, but said the explosives, weapons and ammunition were all functional. The man had enough weapons to kill dozens of people. The director of the regional headquarters of the Czech police, Tomas Tuhy, said they were investigating any possible connection with Breivik. "We are working with the idea that this 29-year-old man probably sympathises with known murderer Anders Breivik from Norway," he said. A photograph in the Czech media shows a smiling young man with a receding hairline and a neatly trimmed beard, being led away in handcuffs, the BBC's Rob Cameron reports from Prague. On 22 July 2011, Breivik, a right-wing militant, killed eight people in a bomb attack in Oslo before gunning down another 69 in a youth camp on the island of Utoeya. Judges are set to decide next week whether he is sane or insane, and therefore whether he will be given a long prison sentence or be sent to a secure psychiatric ward. Broad Street, the centre of the city's nightlife, and a number of side roads were shut to traffic at 23:30 BST. The swift response led to some speculation on social media the city was also under threat. "We closed Broad Street purely as reassurance in response to what happened in London," a spokesman said. Officers stopped traffic entering Broad Street, which is home to several bars, restaurants and nightclubs as well as the Symphony Hall, International Convention Centre and the city's library. The Broad Street taxi rank was moved to nearby Sheepcote Street while the main route was cordoned off. Rumours circulated on social media the heightened police presence was in response to a specific threat but the force was quick to dispel them. Many praised officers for their response. Rob Barnes, who lives in the city centre, said: "I was watching the terrible events unfolding in London on TV when I saw the police closing off Broad Street to traffic. "The speed at which they closed off Broad Street did make me wonder if something had happened here too, but then saw tweets confirming it was just a precaution. "I was so impressed with how quickly the police were able to do that, so grateful at how they are keeping us all safe." Chief Constable Dave Thompson said: "We were quick to respond following Saturday's attack and purely as a reassurance move we temporarily restricted access to Birmingham's Broad Street while businesses remained as usual. The restrictions were lifted at 3am having been implemented at 11.30pm. "Other key locations across the region also saw enhanced patrols. Again, this was simply to reassure people worried by events in the capital and not in response to any local threat." Heightened security is taking place across the region, including at Sunday's ICC Champions Trophy cricket match between India and Pakistan at Edgbaston and in Coventry for MotoFest, which is expected to attracted 120,000 people. In a video to sports fans, the FAA warns the stadium is a "no-drone zone". The restrictions cover anywhere within 32 miles of the Super Bowl stadium in Santa Clara, California, between 14:00 and 23:59 PST on 7 February. FAA regulations also advise that "deadly force" may be used if a drone is perceived as a security threat. The Super Bowl is the climax of the football season, and a crowd of 70,000 is expected for this year's game. "Bring your lucky jersey, bring your facepaint, bring your team spirit," the video announces, "but leave your drone at home." No-drone zones have become commonplace in the United States at sports and entertainment events at which large crowds gather. Furthermore, permanent restrictions are in place over sensitive buildings - such as airports and the White House. FAA regulations state: "The United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft, if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat." Stephen O'Brien urged the warring parties to allow the evacuation of hundreds of people who need urgent medical care. Rebel-held front-line areas were subject to dozens of Russian air strikes overnight, observers said. It allowed government troops to gain ground in the north of the city. Hours later, the Syrian army offered rebel fighters safe passage if they evacuated eastern Aleppo. "The army high command calls all armed fighters in the eastern neighbourhood of Aleppo to leave these neighbourhoods and let civilian residents live their normal lives," said a statement, carried by state news agency Sana on Sunday. "The Russian and Syrian military leaderships will guarantee safe passage for the fighters and will give them aid as necessary." The government made a similar offer in July, but the rebels ignored it. Syrian government forces have been trying for months to recapture the city's eastern half, which has long been a major opposition stronghold. "I am deeply alarmed by the ferocious pummelling of eastern Aleppo city," Mr O'Brien, UN under-secretary for humanitarian affairs, said in a statement. "Indiscriminate bombing and shelling continues in a shocking and unrelenting manner, killing and maiming civilians, subjecting them to a level of savagery that no human should have to endure." The healthcare system in eastern Aleppo had been "all but obliterated", he added. On Saturday, air strikes hit Aleppo's main trauma M10 hospital for the third time in a matter of days, medical workers say. "The hospital is now out of service completely," radiologist Mohammad Abu Rajab was quoted by Reuters as saying. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based opposition monitoring group, said dozens of Russian air strikes overnight had targeted front-line "fighting zones". A correspondent with AFP news agency said the districts of Bustan al-Basha, Sakhur and Suleiman al-Halabi were all hit. Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said the strikes had helped pro-government troops to advance in the north of the city, reaching the outskirts of al-Halaq district. "Regime forces aims to control Bustan al-Basha and Sakhur districts, to tighten the zones controlled by rebels," he said. Ismael Abdullah, a volunteer with Syrian civil defence group the White Helmets, told the BBC: "The bombing started from the morning. There are air strikes in the al-Maja neighbourhood and rescue teams are there to get the people out from under the rubble." Russia and the US are at loggerheads over ending the conflict in Syria, both supporting opposing sides in the five-year civil war. A US-Russia brokered cessation of hostilities recently collapsed and the US had threatened to end co-operation with the Kremlin unless Russia halts its military campaign. For its part, Russia accuses the US of secretly supporting the powerful jihadist group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly known as al-Nusra Front) in its attempts to unseat President Bashar al-Assad. It has emerged that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his US counterpart John Kerry talked again on Saturday about the situation in Aleppo. But there was still no sign of any diplomatic breakthrough that might end the bloodshed. Once Syria's commercial and industrial hub, Aleppo has been divided roughly in two since 2012. At least 250,000 people have been killed in the conflict, with the observatory estimating the true number to be about 430,000. More than 4.8 million people have fled abroad, and an estimated 6.5 million others have been displaced within the country, the UN says. Despite a slowdown in recovery, firms have taken on extra staff in recent months. The Ulster Bank survey monitors a panel of firms to give a monthly snapshot of the local economy. It said the rate of growth in new orders remained "very weak". The strength of the pound against the euro "is an issue affecting demand," the bank's chief economist Richard Ramsey said. "The exchange rate is likely to remain an issue affecting export price competitiveness for the foreseeable future," he added. Northern Ireland's recovery continues to lag behind the rest of the UK. Mr Ramsey said: "Businesses and individuals face challenges and uncertainty in the months ahead. "Not least in relation to what happens with tax and public spending after the forthcoming general election." The 30-year-old Northampton Saints hooker has missed 14 weeks this season because of head injuries. Hartley, who returned to action this month after being knocked unconscious during the Six Nations in March, will lead England against Wales at Twickenham on Sunday. He said: "If I got another lay-off now, I'd be worried." The New Zealand-born front-rower continued: "I'd probably start looking at other careers or maybe a long lay-off. Maybe I'll look at my tackling technique too. "Three in one season would warrant a bit of time off and I would probably take that anyway - take a step back and have a minute. "It's not something I fear. It's something you deal with when it happens. I won't go into the Wales game worrying about it. "I feel confident in my head and have tested it out a few times." Hartley, who has 71 caps, previously admitted he had no recollection of lifting the Six Nations trophy following his blow to the head in the Grand Slam-winning victory over France. He was eventually passed fit to play in time for Northampton's last Premiership game of the season against Gloucester on 7 May. But Hartley, who was made England captain in January by new head coach Eddie Jones, admitted he struggled with day-to-day life while he waited to begin the return-to-play protocols. "I couldn't run or do anything and spent a lot of time on the couch," he said. "It was lethargy, constantly wanting to sleep. "I had no urge to get on the [indoor] bike. I almost tried forcing myself to get on and I just said 'I can't be bothered', so I went back to lie on the couch and went to sleep. "There's no lying in your recovery. I had a constant reminder of that every time you see your kid and you think 'if I hit my head again, what's that going to mean?'. "Then I just turned the corner one week and it was great to get that run-out against Gloucester for a bit of confidence." He beat Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena 4-6 6-2 6-3, 24 hours after being ruled ineligible to represent his adopted nation in the annual team tournament. "I'm still shocked, to be honest," said the Slovenia-born Bedene, 26. Britain's Heather Watson beat American Sloane Stephens to reach round three of the women's singles. Watson won the last 11 games to record a 6-3 6-0 win and will now play Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer. While Bedene said he respected the International Tennis Federation ruling, he said he was angry with the way it had treated him. "Even today, the first set, I was still thinking about it," said the British number two, who next plays Spanish 17th seed Roberto Bautista Agut. "I've been struggling. I was sad, almost crying. It's been difficult and I really wanted it. I'll still keep fighting." Bedene is considering taking his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport but fears it could cost "six figures" and so prove impossible. "I think the best thing is the lawyers check it and see if there is a chance," said the world number 57, who said he would consult with the Lawn Tennis Association. "Not a slight chance, but a good chance to win. If not, I don't think it's fair on the LTA to do this."

Malala won it jointly with Indian child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi. The prize judges described both winners as "champions of peace". Martyn Poliakoff of Nottingham University estimates that a solid gold trophy of its size - 36cm (14 in) high - would weigh at least 70kg (154lb). He concludes that the trophy, or at least part of it, must be hollow. Fifa insisted that the metal part of the current trophy, which dates back to 1974, was "solid gold". It told the BBC News website the prize weighed 6.175kg, including 4.9kg of "solid 18-carat gold" and two layers of the semi-precious stone malachite. Nobody wins the coveted trophy outright as Fifa retains possession between tournaments, awarding a gold-plated replica to each World Cup champion. Making his case on the university's Periodic Table of Videos website, Professor Poliakoff said a genuinely solid gold cup of this height would be "as much as the weight of quite a large adult". "Gold is very heavy, it's one of the densest metals that there is," he said. "According to my calculations, if it was solid all the way through, it would have somewhere between 70 and 80kg of gold in it." The professor suggested the term "solid gold" might mean "the metal part is gold all the way through - it isn't that there is a thin layer of gold and the rest is steel, for example". "However, I think - and I have no means of knowing - that perhaps the ball at the top, which is the world, is probably hollow... because I don't think that it would be light enough for people to wave above their heads, and also it would be a big waste of gold." The professor added that he was "not very interested in football". "I was a teenager when England won the World Cup in 1966," he said. "I didn't watch the game then and I haven't watched a World Cup match since then, but perhaps I will watch something this year." Items belonging to robbers Ronnie Biggs and Bruce Reynolds, who both died in 2013, are for sale at a Northamptonshire auction house. They include a watch and a ring worn by Biggs in the robbery, as well as £1 and 10 shilling notes from the £2.6m haul. An ignition key and petrol caps from getaway vehicles and a length of wire used to alter railway signals are also being sold off. Bruce Reynolds planned the attack, at Mentmore Bridge in Buckinghamshire, on an overnight mail train travelling from Glasgow to London on 8 August 1963. The gang of 15 wearing helmets and ski masks, made off with a then-record haul, equivalent to £40m in today's money. Train driver Jack Mills was struck over the head during the robbery and never worked again. He died in 1970. Reynolds evaded capture for five years and spent 10 years in jail. Biggs, who died aged 84 in December 2013, believed the British public saw him as a "loveable rogue". He was sentenced to 25 years jail but escaped and fled to Brazil.

Parents have been advised to actively encourage their children to pursue hobbies and interests that require physical exertion. Children aged eight and under have been targeted in the move. Finland is known for producing some of the most physically fit children in Europe. It also produces some of the highest academic results among schoolchildren in the developed world. Finland's Minister for Education and Culture, Sanni Grahn-Laasonen, believes this is no coincidence. Ms Grahn-Laasonen said physical activity contributed to a child's happiness and promoted learning by developing a young person's ability to interact socially. "When children exercise together they develop interaction skills and connect socially, and it's healthy, too," she told local media. The minister's recommendation has been embraced by those who set the educational agenda, with the move expected to have a positive impact on results. Anneli Rautiainen, head of basic education with the Finnish National Board of Education, told the BBC that schools would now be experimenting with new ways of teaching. "In our new curriculum, we are looking at two to three hours a week of physical education and more outdoor activities. But we are also looking at non-traditional ways of teaching," she said. These include removing desks and chairs from some classrooms, so that children are not sitting as much while learning regular subjects. "Some children learn very well sitting at a desk and listening, others would benefit greatly from moving around the room talking with their classmates," said Ms Rautiainen. "The child has an active role. We will emphasise personalised learning. The learning environment should be modern and support different learners." Finland is one of the first countries to put forward these recommendations, which will use classrooms to connect physical exercise with traditional learning. A report published last month by the child and family services change programme revealed that young people in Finland were in favour of more physical activity in schools. The idea was widely supported among those questioned, who suggested using the school gym during breaks and increasing out-of-hours school club activities. Guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO) suggest that children and young teenagers aged between 5 and 17 should perform at least an hour of moderate physical exercise a day. But the public health body goes on to say that more than an hour will provide additional health benefits, including later in life. Finland's obsession with health dates back to the 1970s, when it had the highest rate of deaths from heart-related issues in the world. This was largely due to a thriving dairy sector, which played a large part in the Finnish diet. In an effort to tackle the issue from a young age, schoolchildren were weighed on an annual basis and the results were recorded in end-of-year reports. If there was a problem, a doctor was called in. This led to the Finnish National Nutrition Council, a government body that issues dietary guidelines, eventually introducing a directive that schools should not only provide free lunches, but that the food should be nutritional. According to the WHO, Finland's population is still among the healthiest, but economic, social and cultural developments through globalisation are having a detrimental impact. As in many countries, health inequalities are on the rise in Finland. Finland introduced child health clinics way back in the 1940s, a pioneering move that was later introduced in other nations. The primary focus at the time was on physical development and nutrition, early identification of abnormal conditions or disease and immunisation. With this latest focus on physical activity among schoolchildren, Finland remains a leading nation when it comes to the health of its young citizens.

Children should spend at least three hours a day performing physical activities, according to the Finnish government.

An internet watchdog based in Canada, Citizen Lab, said the surveillance software is only sold to governments. Last week, Citizen Lab also said that 12 journalists and human rights lawyers had been targeted. At the time, the Mexican president, Enrique Peña Nieto, described accusations that the government was involved as false. Mr Peña Nieto said surveillance software was only used for matters of national security and for fighting organised crime. He added that he had ordered an investigation by the attorney general's office. Citizen Lab said the head of the Conservative National Action Party (PAN), Ricardo Anaya, a PAN Senator, Roberto Gil Zuarth, and the party's communications secretary, Fernando Rodriguez, were targeted. "There is strong circumstantial evidence implicating the government of Mexico", the watchdog said. The software, known as Pegasus, was sold to Mexican federal agencies by the Israeli company NSO Group on the condition that it only be used to investigate criminals and terrorists. It is usually sent in a text message to a smartphone. If the person taps on it, the spyware is installed, and huge amounts of private data - text messages, photos, emails, location data, even what is being picked up by the device's microphone and camera - are hacked.

Three senior opposition politicians in Mexico have been targeted by spyware on their mobile phones, researchers say.

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."

When you host what is arguably the most famous tennis tournament in the world - Wimbledon - it would be tempting to rest on your sporting laurels and let things tick along as they always have done.

It felt like a busy place, somewhere that mattered, where significant things happened. People were striding hither and thither with a self-important sense of purpose in their pace, and there was something in the air suggesting a self-conscious satisfaction that, once again, the members of the second chamber of the British Parliament had proved a point. The curious irony, however, underlying this latest constitutional clash between the elected government of the UK and the unelected upper house - "the other place" as they call it in the Commons - is that for once it was a Conservative government that was failing to secure the passage of a piece of controversial policy because of the strength of the combined opposition in the House of Lords. The irony derives from the fact that throughout the history of the last century conflict has previously always arisen because of an attempt by a Labour government to enact something radical against the wishes of what was, until 1999, the overwhelmingly Conservative majority in the Lords. For example, in 1968 Harold Wilson's government embarked on one of the many attempts to reform the House of Lords but was scuppered by an alliance of Enoch Powell and Michael Foot (for differing reasons) in the Commons and by the hostility of the Tories in the Lords. That all changed two years into Tony Blair's government, with the first step towards some sort of serious reform and the introduction of a limit of 92 in the number of hereditary peers. Now, there are 249 Tory peers ranged against 500 Labour, Liberal Democrat and cross-bench peers - plus an awkward squad of 25 bishops to be taken into account, let alone another 42 non-aligned others. The Conservatives' dominance in the Lords, which was once taken for granted, is well and truly over. There were some disputed technical issues to this week's challenge - should the measure have been proposed as a statutory instrument? Was it primarily a financial issue or one of welfare? - which need not detain us here. The point is that the Lords overturned a decision of the Commons in unprecedented circumstances. In recent history, the challenges that have occurred since the majority of the hereditary peers were shown the exit door for the grouse moors have led to bills being sent between the two Houses in what is now known as "parliamentary ping-pong". It was previously called "lutte a la corde" (tug-of-war) because much of the formal language of the Lords is in Norman French. In 2005, for example, the two chambers sat for over 30 hours sending the Prevention of Terrorism Bill between them for two days and a night in the longest continuous sitting for 99 years. The issue was whether provisions in the bill would lapse after a year, but the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, gave up on the second day and offered an acceptable compromise. David Miliband, as the Schools Minister, had trouble with an Education Bill in 2002 and Charles Clarke, Home Secretary, with an attempt to introduce identity cards in 2006. The coalition government had serious problems with the legislation to allow a referendum on changing the voting system in 2011, which was strongly resisted in the Lords. All led to "ping-pong" and eventually some form of mutual agreement. There have been murmurs about packing the Lords in the past, but only ever murmurs. This week, the suggestion David Cameron might create 100 new peers was floated as a threat, but would have caused more of a constitutional outrage than anything that was voted through on Monday. As Prime Minister, Mr Cameron has already appointed more peers than any of his predecessors since 1958 - when life peerages were introduced - but with 816 members, the Lords is not only the largest unelected second chamber in the world, they don't even have the space to sit down. Instead, the government is playing for time on the substantive issue, and Lord Strathclyde, the Leader of the Lords at the time of the referendum row - who pleaded then with his fellow peers to "respect the will of the elected chamber" has been charged by Mr Cameron with a rapid review of the constitutional niceties of what happened this week and what should prevail in future. Scarcely a coincidence; we may presume this is because the prime minister knows, at least, where his lordship is coming from. "Politics like a tarnished mirror must always retain some reflection of the national destiny," wrote George Dangerfield in his seminal work The Strange Death of Liberal England about the collapse of the Liberal Party at the beginning of the last century. That was where this chapter began, with the rejection of Lloyd George's "People's Budget" in 1909 and the subsequent Parliament Act of 1911 to limit the authority of the Lords and remove all power over financial issues. But that act specifically predicated reform of the Lords to a "popular" chamber, and in the intervening century that has still not yet been achieved. The Blair government put forward seven options in 2003, and Jack Straw had another crack in 2007. All three major parties were committed to Lords reform in the election of 2010, and the coalition had a go in 2012. None of these ships sailed, no balloons flew. The tarnished mirror reflects instead just a constitutional mess of pottage. But as Dangerfield also wrote, in his chapter Their Lordships Die in the Dark: "There is a barbarism in politics, not unhealthy, which decrees the death of any institution which has lost its economic meaning." That is something that might perhaps focus the minds of those who wonder what the Lords is for. Source: www.parliament.uk

There was an underlying new buzz of excitement in the corridors and bars and cafes of the House of Lords this week.

Sir Harry Burns is standing down as chief medical officer to become professor of global public health at Strathclyde University. He has said health inequality is the biggest issue facing Scotland. Health Secretary Alex Neil said Sir Harry had made a "significant contribution". Sir Harry, a former surgeon who became chief medical officer in 2005, has played a key role in shaping health in Scotland, including leading the response to the 2009 swine flu pandemic. He said: "It has been a pleasure working with the Scottish government over the past eight years, but it is time to hand over to a new chief medical officer. "I have enjoyed the challenges over the past eight years, and I have had the opportunity to do a lot of work around health inequalities. "I am looking forward to being able to develop my interest in health inequalities further, and continuing to contribute towards building a better public health landscape." After graduating from Glasgow University in 1977, Sir Harry spent 15 years as a surgeon, eventually becoming consultant surgeon at the city's royal infirmary. He went on to become director of public health for Greater Glasgow health board in 1993, until his appointment as Scotland's chief medical officer. Sir Harry, who was knighted in 2011, has become well know for highlighting the links between poverty and poor health. In 2012, he told the Scottish Parliament's audit committee: "Health inequalities are the biggest issue facing Scotland just now, because not only are health inequalities a problem but [they] are really a manifestation of social inequality. "Social complexity, social disintegration drives things like criminality, it drives things like poor educational attainment, it drives a whole range of things that we would want to see different in Scotland. "The more attention we can get paid to the drivers of that situation, the better." Last year, Sir Harry suggested the decline of heavy industry was partly responsible for poor health in Scotland, saying at the time: "A void appeared in men's lives and the void was filled with drink, drugs and fighting." Paying tribute, Mr Neil said: "Sir Harry has brought a renewed focus to the issue of health inequalities within Scotland, and I am delighted that his new role will enable him to continue his focus in this area." Sir Harry will start his new post in April and the Scottish government is currently working on appointing a new chief medical officer. The incident took place on 22 July after 28-year old Mark Ross had been refused entry to the sheriff court for being drunk. Ross had first approached four sheriffs as they had coffee at a nearby cafe. He then kicked Sheriff Frank Crowe on his right leg as he returned to the court building in Chambers Street. Sentence was deferred for reports. Fiscal depute Bruce Macrosson, prosecuting, told the court that Ross had been refused entry to the court building because of his drunken state. Five minutes later, Ross entered the cafe where sheriffs Crowe, Gordon Liddle, Nigel Morrison and Norman McFadyen, were having coffee. "The accused approached the table occupied by the sheriffs and mumbled something towards them which they either neither heard nor understood" said Mr Macrosson. "The accused then approached another table." The sheriffs left the cafe at 09:20, walking towards the court building in Chambers Street. The fiscal depute said: "The accused approached Sheriff Crowe and kicked him on his right leg to his injury." Sheriff Crowe reported the matter to the police and pointed out Ross as his assailant. Mr Macrosson added that Sheriff Crowe suffered soreness to his right shin but did not require medical attention. Defence solicitor Ray Megson told the court: "I want to see if this man can get help. "He has a large number of previous convictions, all of the same sort. This man is not getting proper medical attention and resorts to alcohol." Sheriff Alistair Noble deferred sentence until later this month for an updated psychiatric report and Social Work report. What's happening in Scotland today? Keep in touch through our live page. Nine years in the making, the Wolfpack will compete in their first professional game against the West Yorkshire side in round three of the cup competition. The Canadian club start this season in the third tier of English rugby league, but they have high ambitions - to reach the Super League within five years. With the world of rugby league eager to see what the Canadian side are made of, BBC Sport uncovers how they came to play in England and what fans can expect. The man behind the team is Eric Perez, who has worked in PR and broadcasting. He's a born and bred Torontonian who first came across rugby league when he was living with his girlfriend in Gibraltar and saw a match on TV. Nine years ago he was living in Birmingham and started to regularly watch the Super League. He says he was blown away by the sport, describing it as the most Canadian sport not played in Canada. He decided to make it his lifetime goal to set up a side in his home city of Toronto. Media playback is not supported on this device Their head coach is the highly rated Paul Rowley, a former England international and ex-coach of Leigh, while director of rugby is former Great Britain, Bradford and Wigan coach Brian Noble. For the past nine years Perez has been working behind the scenes to convince the Rugby Football League (RFL) and other clubs that this was no pipe dream. He's worked closely with Gary Hetherington, chief executive of Super League side Leeds Rhinos, to learn how to run a club. Perez gathered together financial backers and sponsors and secured the 10,000-seater Lamport Stadium in Toronto. He's also sold the broadcast rights for TV stations to cover the Wolfpack across Canada and the UK. He created a Canadian national rugby league side using players from a league he set up, and got a crowd of more than 8,000 to watch their opening game against a visiting Royal Air Force team. All that work convinced the RFL that they should be allowed into the league. When a vote was put to the English clubs they gave their backing with an overwhelming majority in favour. And with nearly 3,000 season passes having already been sold before a tackle has been made, Perez is confident the Wolfpack will play in front of sell-out crowds on home soil. The majority of players are drawn from England and the Wolfpack have assembled quite a squad. Their captain Craig Hall, a former Hull FC and Hull KR centre, was still playing in Super League for Wakefield Trinity last year. And Trinity wanted to keep him. Their most charismatic signing is Tonga pro Fuifui Moimoi, who played for Parramatta Eels in Australia, before spending last season at Super League side Leigh Centurions. Most expect the Wolfpack to romp through League 1 this year and be a real challenger in the Championship next year as they bid for promotion to the Super League. The team also includes American centre Ryan Burroughs plus Canadian scrum-half Rhys Jacks and prop Tom Dempsey. They've also run trials in several Canadian and US cities to identify youngsters who haven't quite made the grade in the National Football League (NFL) or Canadian Football League (CFL) but who could transfer their skills to rugby league. But that's a longer term project. The North American-based, Australian mining millionaire David Argyle is the main financial backer behind the new club. But they have several sponsorship deals in place too. Not the least of them is with the Airline Air Transat. That deal will cover Toronto's travel costs, but will also mean that each English team will travel free when they go to Canada to play against the Wolfpack at home. Each English club will be able to take a full squad, coaches and ancillary staff to Toronto, at no cost to them. English fans will also be given subsidised travel. The Wolfpack have been based in England for their pre-season training. Following the match against Siddal, their opening five league games, starting with a match against London Skolars on 4 March, will be played in England. Then Toronto fly home and over the next five weeks, English sides will fly out to play them. That pattern is reversed throughout the season. It's expected that the English clubs will fly out on a Thursday morning, play the game on Saturday and then fly home on Sunday. That might give the Wolfpack an advantage, but Perez is having none of that. In League 1, clubs are as far apart as Workington and Whitehaven in the north and London, Oxford, Hemel and Gloucester in the south. He argues that players would rather spend eight hours on a flight, than six hours on a coach. With a mixture of excitement and caution. Most players and coaches fancy regular trips to play in Toronto. And the idea of a side based in Canada has captured the public's imagination. But now their campaign is about to get under way, the proof of whether this business model can work will finally be tested. There's no hint of anything less than supreme confidence from Perez. And he's already suggested that more North American clubs will be coming in the next few years, with Montreal and Boston mooted as the next staging posts. Watch live coverage of Siddal v Toronto Wolfpack on the BBC Sport website on Saturday, 25 February. Only two minutes had passed when Lisa Evans headed the hosts in front from a Brown cross. They started the second half just as quick; Jane Ross directing another Brown cross beyond the goalkeeper. In a slick performance from Anna Signeul's side, they could have had more goals as they stepped up their preparations for Euro 2017. They face a tougher test on Tuesday, when they travel to Sweden, the world's sixth-best team in the world rankings, before the squad is then announced for the finals in Netherlands. Scotland were keen to impose themselves on visitors who are 15 places below the 21st-placed hosts in the rankings. Ross shrugged off her marker and laid it off to Leanne Crichton in the box, but her shot lacked power. But, a minute later, Scotland were ahead when Evans met Brown's floating cross at the back post and nodded in. Vaila Bardsley headed over then Caroline Weir had a free-kick pushed wide as Scotland continued their assault on the Romanian goal. The movement and passing was electric and, in 21 minutes, the defence was opened up for Brown to burst through from the left, but she lifted her shot over. As good as they were going forward, Scotland's frailties at the back were shown when Florentina Olar was able to easily pick out Cosmina Dusa, who should have done better with her header from close range. Romania started the second half with 10 players, Laura Rus not yet ready to come on, but while they waited for a break in play, they were punished as Scotland made the extra player count to grab a second. Brown picked out Ross and, although goalkeeper Andreea Paraluta got a touch to her header, she could not keep it out. Romania were proving to be more stubborn as the game went on and Rus could have pulled one back when she rounded goalkeeper Gemma Fay, but Joelle Murray got back to clear. Scotland were still creating chances. Brown cut inside and shot over, Lana Clelland and Bardsley both headed over and Erin Cuthbert's stab at goal was pushed wide by Paraluta. Bardsley threatened again at a free-kick, being denied at the back post, then showed her worth at the other end when she cut-out Mara Batea's goalbound effort. Scotland head coach Anna Signeul: "I'm very pleased with the performance. "We defended well, we played as a team, everyone did really well from Gemma Fay to Jane Ross. I'm delighted with how we defended together. "A lot of players were very good, but I was very pleased for Vaila Bardsley as that was her second game. "Against Belgium, we didn't perform very well, but now she showed how good she can play." Scotland: Fay, Bardsley, Dieke, Love, Lauder, Weir, Crichton, Evans, Jane Ross, Frankie Brown, Fiona Brown.

The firm secured an annual £30m government contribution for the next 15 years, but originally had to raise the rest of the cash by September. Carlton Power now has until 19 December to secure the investment. The Department of Energy and Climate Change is proposing to shut all coal-fired plants by 2025, and replace them with gas-fired power stations. The government's capacity market scheme aims to encourage the construction of new power plants and keep existing ones going. The Trafford power station is the only new major gas-fired power plant to be offered the capacity market contract. This will be terminated in December if Carlton Power is unable to secure financial backing. The Brazil right-back, 34, confirmed his departure via Instagram before the club also confirmed the move. "Today our professional relationship ends and I will carry with me all of those who with love and a true heart make Juve a great club," he wrote. City have been linked with a move for Alves with Juve saying they would release him from his contract. Alves added: "I apologise to the fans of Juventus if they at some point thought I did something to offend them. Never had ever the intention, just I have a way of living things spontaneously that few understand. Even if it seems I'm not perfect, but my heart it is pure. " "I would like to thank all the Juventus fans for the year I've had, to my team-mates who welcomed me like the professionals they are, for a club that wins and reaches finals." His final game for Juventus was the 4-1 Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid in Cardiff. Alves made 33 appearances as the club sealed the domestic double for the third successive year. 21 March 2017 Last updated at 14:25 GMT It's a new craze that is sweeping the internet, where you try to blow one cup into another. We went to a school to meet some of you guys to find out a bit more about it. Can you do it? The S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq also achieved new highs, fuelled by hopes that President Donald Trump's policies will boost the US economy. The Dow, which has nudged the 20,000 milestone during January, rose 0.8% to 20,068.51. Investors' cash has poured into shares on hopes of tax cuts and higher growth. The Dow had risen above 20,000 early into the trading day, prompting Mr Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway to tweet that the landmark was down to "The Trump Effect". "It was definitely a milestone that the market has been focused on for really the better part of two months and you were starting to get a little bit of anxiety as to whether it was going to be surmounted or not," said Julian Emanuel, Equity Strategist at UBS. The Dow reached its latest 1,000-point milestone two months after closing above 19,000, making it the second quickest 1,000 point rise ever. The index rose from 10,000 to 11,000 in only 24 trading days between 29 March and 3 May, 1999, while the rise from 18,000 to 19,000 took 483 trading days (nearly two years). Financial stocks have been a major factor in the gain - with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan accounting for around 20% of the rise. This is because investors believe that some of Mr Trump's policies will trigger inflation and produce a rise in interest rates. Also on Wednesday, the broad-based S&P finished up 0.8% at 2,298.37, while the Nasdaq advanced 1% to 5,656.34 - both fresh records. Finally, the Dow hit 20,000 at the US market open after being tantalisingly close for weeks. When the moment came, floor traders at the New York Stock Exchange were ready. Long before the opening bell rang, one trader yelled 'get your hats on, get your hats on'. He was referring to the baseball caps emblazoned with Dow 20,000 on the front. It's a tradition dating back to the first time the Dow passed 10,000. To mark the occasion, they made hats. And the habit stuck. Wall Street veteran Art Cashin, director of floor operations at UBS had his on. When asked if the Dow at 20,000 matters, he answered that the publicity would make people think about their own investments and that was a good thing. For many though today's historic milestone is just a round number. Its value is symbolic. In part that has to do with the index itself. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is made up of only 30 companies compared with 500 in the S&P 500. So it is far from comprehensive. Then there is the way it is calculated. The Dow puts too much emphasis on share price, unlike the S&P 500 which reflect its members market capitalization. As a result, a few names have the power to significantly move the index. Make no mistake though, this will be front page news. And for market professionals, it's a moment to pop the champagne, celebrate and pull out their Dow 20,000 baseball caps because who knows when they'll be able to wear it again. Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of financial management firm Solaris Group in New York, said: "There is a real belief that [Mr] Trump is real, he has been extremely active these first couple of days of the presidency and a change may happen faster than people had thought." Neil Wilson, senior market analyst at London brokers Capital, said: "It's psychologically huge and, after a bit of pullback ahead of the inauguration, really confirms that the 'great rotation' from bonds to stocks is definitely upon us. "Fears about protectionism are running second to optimism about inflation and growth - for now at least. "The question now is how long can this last? "Mr Trump's first steps as president have confirmed much of what investors had hoped for and that he's extremely pro-business and light on regulation for energy and financials. That's what's driving this renewed rally. "The other argument claims that this is a massive bubble and if this is a real rotation from bonds into stocks, ending a 30-year bond bull market, there is still a huge amount of cash piled up that could yet pour into equities and power further gains through 2017. "It might not be too long before 21,000 is in sight." Dr David Rosser said she was making good progress, but has a long way to go and is not out of the woods yet. The 14-year-old schoolgirl was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman for her campaign for girls' education. Pakistan's president described it as an attack on "civilised people". Speaking in Azerbaijan on Tuesday, President Asif Ali Zardari said: "The Taliban attack on the 14-year-old girl, who from the age of 11 was involved in the struggle for education for girls, is an attack on all girls in Pakistan, an attack on education, and on all civilised people." Malala was flown to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham on Monday night for treatment. Security is tight at the hospital, with a police presence in place to deal with any unauthorised visitors. On Monday night a number of well-wishers turned up hoping to see her but were turned away by West Midlands police. Dr Rosser described the incident as "irritating", but said the hospital and its partners are "comfortable with security arrangements". The Taliban have threatened to target Malala again and she was given tight security for her journey to the UK. Dr Rosser said the team of specialists working with her have been pleased with the teenager's progress. "There's a long way to go and she is not out of the woods yet... but at this stage we're optimistic that things are going in the right direction," he added. Once Malala recovers sufficiently, it is thought she will need neurological help as well as treatment to repair or replace damaged bones in her skull. She was flown to the UK from Pakistan by air ambulance on Monday, almost a week after she and two other schoolgirls were attacked as they returned home from school in Mingora in the Swat Valley. The gunman who boarded the van in which she was travelling asked for her by name before firing three shots at her. Malala is widely known as a campaigner for girls' education in Pakistan. In early 2009 she wrote an anonmyous diary for BBC Urdu about life under the Taliban, who had banned all girls in her area from attending school. It has taken a 112bn yen ($1bn; £780m) charge, citing "an acceleration of market decline". The rise of online streaming services has hit demand for traditional media such as DVDs and blue-ray discs. Sony's movie division has also struggled, with recent flops including an all-female Ghostbusters sequel. Sony had warned earlier this year its movie division could post more losses. The Japanese firm, which reports its third-quarter results on Thursday, is still assessing whether the impairment charge will affect future earnings. It plans to offset the loss by selling shares in medical web service M3. The head of Sony's entertainment business, Michael Lynton, recently announced he would be stepping down in February after more than a decade at the firm. The gambiense strain of the trypanosoma parasite is resistant to proteins the immune system produces to fight the infection. Belgian researchers have developed a mutant version of the protein, which early tests show can kill a wide range of trypanosomes including gambiense. The study was published in the journal Nature. The gambiense strain causes more than 97% of sleeping sickness cases in western and central Africa. According to the World Health Organization, there were 7,197 cases in 2012. The immune system produces apoL1 to try to attack the parasite. In the study, researchers from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles outlined how gambiense evolved a three-part defence mechanism against the protein apoL1. ApoL1 is normally taken up by the trypanosoma parasites, as it tricks the parasite into believing that it is beneficial. The protein then embeds itself into the walls of the gut membrane, where it kills the parasite. The first step in gambiense defence is they "create a protein that stiffens the membranes against the apoL1 protein," said Prof Etienne Pays, lead author of the research. "This acts as a barrier." The second stage is to make it more difficult for the parasite to absorb the protein. Finally, if the protein was to get through the other barriers, gambiense is able to digest apoL1 quicker than other forms of the parasite, so that it cannot be absorbed by membranes. Prof Pays said: "The crucial thing here is that apoL1 is still there. It has not been absorbed. It can still be used to kill the parasite." This led Prof Pays and his team to develop a mutant strain of apoL1. This not only kills gambiense, but "it kills all African trypanosomes, pathogenic for humans or for cattle". But Prof Pays said the research was still in the early stages. "Needless to say, this is a promising discovery," he added. "However, it remains to be seen if this apoL1 variant could be used to treat sleeping sickness. In the blood, this protein could be either unstable or toxic in itself, so more work is needed to appreciate the potential of this finding." In 1998, the same group of researchers discovered how rhodesiense, another strain of the parasite trypanosome, resisted our defences. Rhodesiense uses an anti-protein to disable apoL1 so that we cannot fight against it. Wendy Gibson, professor of protozoology at the University of Bristol, who has been studying the evolution of trypanosome said: "They've finally solved the mystery of how the gambiense has been fighting our defences. It is a meticulous piece of work." The musical is based on Mel Brooks' Oscar-nominated film which starred Gene Wilder as Dr Frederick Frankenstein, a descendant of the deranged Victor. Living in New York, he tries to play down the family name, until he inherits the infamous castle and discovers Victor's book: "How I Did It". Noble will play Frankenstein's hunchbacked servant, Igor. Joseph will appear as housekeeper Frau Blucher, whose very name causes horses to rear in fright; while West End star Hadley Fraser will take the main role of Dr Frederick Frankenstein. Brooks will produce the show, which will open for a pre-West End season in Newcastle on 26 August until 9 September. It will then open at the Garrick Theatre on 28 September. The musical previously ran on Broadway between 2007 and 2009. The cult film on which it's based was co-written by Brooks and Wilder, and earned them an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay. Beachgoers saw a "massive fire" spread quickly up East Cliff on Bournemouth beach at about 15.30 BST. Firefighters said a patch of gorse was alight behind some beach huts near Undercliff Drive and Pier Approach and part of the promenade was evacuated. Dorset Police advised people to avoid the area and said no injuries had been reported. Bournemouth Council said its seafront rangers guided beachgoers away from danger and ensured the area was clear. Bournemouth East MP Tobias Ellwood posted on Twitter: "Huge praise for Bournemouth's Emergency Services in responding to major grass fire that spread rapidly on East Cliff cliff top above packed beach." The 53-year-old, who denies nine sex offences against six complainants, allegedly "forced his tongue" into the mouth of a girl aged 13 or 14. The allegations, spanning more than two decades, also include a charge that he grabbed hold of a 16-year-old girl at Chessington World of Adventures. Mr Fox is due in court again on 30 April for a case management hearing. Details of what the Magic FM presenter, known as Dr Fox, is alleged to have done can be reported after his barrister, Jonathan Caplan QC, asked for the usual reporting restrictions that apply to preliminary court hearings to be lifted. Mr Caplan said there had been a lot of false reports about what his client had allegedly done. Mr Fox faces seven charges of indecent assault and two of sexual touching without consent, over a period from 1991 to 2014. One of the complainants alleges that Mr Fox, from Fulham in south-west London, repeatedly assaulted her at Capital Radio's studios in London's Leicester Square. Two other women claim to have been sexually touched against their will at Magic FM's premises in Winsley Street in central London, between January 2003 and August 2014. Prosecutor Darren Watts told the court: "The Crown argue that the complaints show a consistent and determined pattern of sexual predatory behaviour on the part of the defendant which spans some 23 years." He said Mr Fox assaulted two girls at a motor show in Bromley, south-east London, in summer 1991, at which he was appearing in his capacity as a DJ. Mr Fox is also alleged to have kissed a girl aged 13 or 14 and forced his tongue into her mouth after she asked for a photograph with him. The court heard a second teenager was assaulted by Mr Fox in a similar manner at the event, and she claims he also put his hand up her skirt. A third complainant, who was also under the age of 16, alleges that, while she was at Chessington World of Adventures theme park in April 1996, she asked the DJ for a photo and a kiss. He allegedly grabbed hold of her, causing her to back away. The ages of the complainants range from the 13 or 14-year-old to a woman who was 36. By Lisa Hampele, BBC News correspondent In an unusual move, Neil Fox's barrister asked for regular reporting restrictions which apply at this stage in court proceedings to be lifted. Jonathan Caplan QC made the request because he said he wanted to "safeguard a fair trial". He said there'd been a lot of speculation on social media about what his client had allegedly done, and that created prejudice against him. The chief magistrate at Westminster Magistrates' Court, Howard Riddle, granted the application. So, details of the allegations can be given. The alleged victims will remain anonymous. Four of the alleged indecent assaults are said to have taken place at Capital Radio between January and December 2003. It is alleged that on one occasion he put his arms around a woman and squeezed her breasts, that he would regularly touch her bottom, and that one incident involved him simulating sex with one of the complainants. During one of the alleged assaults at Magic FM, Mr Fox is said to have walked up behind a complainant and kissed her shoulder. "When questioned about his actions, he has said 'Oh, I just had to. You look as if you taste so good'," Mr Watts said. Mr Fox, who was first arrested in September last year, then again in December and last month, has been granted bail. He has elected to have his trial at the magistrates' court. The DJ, who rose to fame presenting the chart show on Capital Radio, was a judge on Pop Idol between 2001 and 2003 alongside Simon Cowell, Pete Waterman, and Nicki Chapman. Not only is the first royal tour for the newlyweds a photo opportunity to die for - just think of all the different hats and dresses Kate will wear - for Canada, it's a matter of cultural identity. While Canadians remain deeply divided on the issue of the monarchy, support for Crown rule appears to be gaining ground, thanks to what will be three royal tours in as many calendar years and a staunchly traditionalist Conservative prime minister, Stephen Harper. When Charles and Camilla popped over for a visit in November 2009, loyalist crowds were embarrassingly thin on the ground. An Angus Reid poll conducted at the time found that two-thirds of Canadians wanted to see an elected home-grown head of state. But just seven months later when the Queen came to stay, royal support had perked up. A record-breaking crowd of over 100,000 turned up to greet Her Maj on Parliament Hill - more than double the regular turnout. Surveyed at the time, Canadians reported overwhelmingly positive feelings for the Queen and the number who felt the monarchy was outdated then dropped to just under half - not exactly a 21-gun salute, although we gave her one of those as well. Presumably the Palace learned its lesson: If Britain wants to strengthen Commonwealth bonds, send over your most charismatic royals. And it helps if they are extremely good-looking. Now that Canada is the first to officially welcome Will and Kate, the nation is poised to return the love. And what better choice of host could there be? Like the royal couple themselves, Canada is young, clean-cut, polite, uncontroversial and financially secure. A bit dull, perhaps, but we make up for it with upbeat small talk and unfailing good manners. It's an approach to life the Royal Family instinctively understands. Last spring, Canadians got up in droves in the wee hours to watch the royal wedding - a reception that could only have validated Prime Minister Stephen Harper's own not-so-covert monarchist agenda. In the past couple of years, his Tory government has re-introduced the crown to Canada Customs agents' badges, emphasised the swearing of allegiance to the Queen in the Oath of Citizenship and reportedly has plans to to tie together the bicentennial of the War of 1812 (in which Canada, as a colony, fought with British troops against the US) with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next year. When asked during last spring's election campaign whether he supported UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's wish to abolish male primogeniture in the Royal Family (a move that would have serious constitutional ramifications for Canada), Mr Harper was dismissive. "The successor to the throne is a man. The next successor to the throne is a man. I don't think Canadians want to open a debate on the monarchy or constitutional matters at this time. That's our position, and I just don't see that as a priority for Canadians right now at all." Judging by the warm-to-slathering reception William and Kate have received from the Canadian media so far, the PM's instincts are right. While Canadians might have strong opinions about the monarchy when polled, the Monarchist League of Canada estimates that in fact fewer than 0.6% of the population is actively engaged in the debate over the issue of republicanism. The prevailing mood in parliament is, if it ain't broke, why fix it? John Fraser, author of the forthcoming book The Secret Crown: Canada's Fling With Royalty, recently observed: "The idea of a Canadian monarchy, derived from our history and evolved through our federal and provincial offices of governor general and lieutenant governors, rests on a firm foundation of two sturdy and irrefutable facts: It exists and it works." Maclean's, a popular Canadian news magazine (for which Fraser and I occasionally write), has produced four special commemorative issues and a royal wedding book since the the royal couple announced their engagement late last year - that's over 500 glossy magazine pages devoted to a pair who live an ocean away. Cathrin Bradbury, editor-in-chief of Maclean's Intelligence Unit, says Canadians can't get enough of the young royals. "It's a love story - a happy, well-matched, stylish pairing of two great-looking young people with the future gleaming in their eyes," she said in an interview, adding that the fascination is not just about celebrity. "Canadians, many Canadians, are proud and serious monarchists. It's part of who we are, and how we govern ourselves. "And it's a very visible way that we are not American, and not being American is central to our identity. There are some who say the monarchy will survive longer in Canada than in Britain, and they might be right. William, King of Canada." Or perhaps King Harry instead, if you agree with Etienne Boisvert, the Quebec provincial spokesman for the Monarchist League of Canada, who this week told the press he thought William's younger brother ought to take up residence across the pond. Being third in line to the throne, Prince Harry "has virtually no chance of becoming king and could set himself up here and found a Canadian branch of the Royal Family", Boisvert suggested. It's an odd notion, especially coming from a Francophone Quebecker. While the monarchist love-in is expected to predominate in the rest of Canada, La Belle Province, as it is known, with its history of separatist tension, is the one place royal visitors can expect to feel some resistance. A small crowd of 100 protesters disrupted the Prince of Wales' last tour in 2009, and it is expected the Duke and Duchess will be forced to keep calm and carry on through more of the same. The Quebecois Network of Resistance has announced it will demonstrate at Quebec City Hall against the royal visit's cost to tax-payers (which, according to the Monarchist League of Canada, works out to only a few cents per citizen). But William and Kate would be wise not to take such insults too personally. The late separatist politician Rene Levesque once said, "I have great respect for the Queen... but what the hell part should monarchy have in Quebec?" Until recently one could have said the same for the rest of the country. But once Kate and William have their way with us, I suspect Canada will be singing God Save the Queen. Leah McLaren is a London-based columnist for The Globe and Mail newspaper. Police said Rashan Jermaine Charles was followed on foot after officers tried to stop a car in Kingsland Road, Hackney, at 01:45 BST on Saturday. He then tried to swallow an object but died later in hospital. Following a vigil outside Stoke Newington police station, some people threw bottles and sticks at police and set fire to rubbish bins in the road. A mattress was placed across the road and one protester's car was parked across the street, BBC reporter Andy Moore said. Police were monitoring the situation and would intervene if necessary, The Met said. A spokesman for the force said no officers had been injured. Earlier people held Black Lives Matters placards during the vigil organised by Stand Up To Racism. Campaigners said they were "enormously concerned and angered" about the death of 20-year-old Mr Charles. Ch Supt Simon Laurence, the borough commander for Hackney, said officers "understand they will be asked to account for their actions and they would not want it any other way". He said the death "has had an impact on some members of the local community" and police had met with community representatives "so we can hear the community's concerns and how they are feeling." Scotland Yard said the officer involved "intervened and sought to prevent the man from harming himself". A force medic provided first aid at the scene before London Ambulance Service paramedics arrived. Mr Charles was taken to the Royal London Hospital in east London and was confirmed dead at 02:55. The police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, is investigating. A spokesman for the heavyweight told the Tass news agency the 36-year-old returned "low concentrations" of the substance in a blood sample in April. Povetkin's promoters say the WBC will now decide whether the 21 May fight with Wilder in Moscow can go ahead. The World Anti-Doping Agency said in September it was adding meldonium to its banned list from 1 January 2016. Andrei Ryabinsky, the head of Mir Boksa promotions, described the situation as "ambiguous". "He consumed it in September last year. He has not taken it since 1 January," he added. "We have been in contact with the World Boxing Council, which is to decide if Povetkin's boxing bout against Deontay Wilder will take place or not." Povetkin's fight against American Wilder, the reigning WBC heavyweight champion, is due to take place at the Megasport complex in the Russian capital. Povetkin is the latest among several Russian athletes to fall foul of the new meldonium ban. Tennis player Maria Sharapova was the first high-profile athlete to test positive for the Latvian-made drug - in a test taken at the end of January - but since then leading Russian athletes from boxing, skating, swimming and winter sports have all failed tests for the substance. Recent Wada figures showed there had been 172 positive tests for meldonium this year - 27 of those involving Russians. Wada says it is aware of the possibility of the drug remaining in an athlete's system long after taking it, as is claimed by Povetkin's management. The organisation admitted last month there was "a lack of clear scientific information on excretion times". It said that athletes might be able to show that they "could not have known or suspected" meldonium would still be in their systems having taken it before it was banned. In a matter of three years, the Saudi-born dissident had emerged from obscurity to become one of the most hated and feared men in the world. Osama Bin Laden was born in 1957, apparently the 17th of 52 children of Mohamed Bin Laden, a multimillionaire builder responsible for 80% of Saudi Arabia's roads. His father's death in a helicopter crash in 1968 brought the young man a fortune running into many millions of dollars, though considerably less than the widely published estimate of $250m. By Frank GardnerBBC security correspondent Osama Bin Laden has gone to his grave with some of his life's aims achieved, and some frustrated. Following the 9/11 attacks he said he did not care if his life ended now because his "work was done", having "awoken Muslims around the world to the injustices imposed upon them by the West and Israel". But al-Qaeda and its affiliates have failed to remove any Arab "apostate" regimes, nor instigated a transnational conflict between mainstream Muslims and the West. The global jihadist movement has been sidelined by this year's largely secular revolutions in the Middle East. With Iraq now calmer and with Nato forces helping anti-Gaddafi rebels in Libya, al-Qaeda's world view of perpetual confrontation with all non-Muslims is holding a diminishing appeal. All the more reason, say experts, to be vigilant for desperate acts of violence by hardcore extremists in the movement's dwindling ranks. While studying civil engineering at King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Bin Laden came into contact with teachers and students of the more conservative brand of Islam. Through theological debate and study, he came to embrace fundamentalist Islam as a bulwark against what he saw as the decadence of the West. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 changed Bin Laden's life forever. He took up the anti-communist cause with a will, moving to Afghanistan where, for a decade, he fought an ultimately victorious campaign with the mujahideen. Intelligence experts believe that the US Central Intelligence Agency played an active role in arming and training the mujahideen, including Bin Laden. The end of the war saw a sea change in his views. His hatred of Moscow shifted to Washington after 300,000 US troops, women among them, were based in Saudi Arabia, home of two of Islam's holiest places, during the 1991 Gulf War against Iraq. Bin Laden vowed to avenge what he saw as blasphemy. Along with many of his mujahideen comrades, he brought his mix of fighting skills and Islamic zeal to many anti-US factions within the Middle East. American pressure ended brief sojourns in Saudi Arabia - which removed his citizenship in 1994 - and then Sudan, and Bin Laden moved back to Afghanistan in January 1996. The country, in a state of anarchy, was home to a diverse range of Islamic groups, including the fundamentalist Taliban militia, which captured the capital, Kabul, nine months later. Though geographically limited, Bin Laden's wealth, increasing all the time through lucrative worldwide investments, enabled him to finance and control a continuously shifting series of transnational militant alliances through his al-Qaeda network. Sometimes he worked as a broker, organising logistics and providing financial support. At other times, he would run his own violent campaigns. In February 1998, he issued a fatwa - or religious edict - on behalf of the World Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, stating that killing Americans and their allies was a Muslim duty. Six months later, two bombs rocked the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Some 224 people died and nearly 5,000 were wounded. He was indicted as chief suspect, along with 16 of his colleagues. Almost overnight, Bin Laden became a major thorn in the side of America. A byword for fundamentalist Islamic resistance to Washington, he soon appeared on the FBI's "most wanted" list, with a reward of up to $25m (£15m) on his head. The US fired 75 sea-launched cruise missiles into six training camps in eastern Afghanistan in a failed attempt to kill him. They missed their target by just one hour. As well as the African bombings, Bin Laden was implicated in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York, a 1995 car bomb in the Saudi capital Riyadh and a truck bomb in a Saudi barracks, which killed 19 US soldiers. "I always kill Americans because they kill us," he said. "When we attack Americans, we don't harm other people." In the case of the bombs in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, his words rang hollow. The vast majority of the dead and injured were African, not American. The arrogance of wealth saw Bin Laden make the government of Kazakhstan a multi-million dollar offer to buy his own tactical nuclear weapon. It comes as no surprise, then, that both the US and Israel are believed to have sent assassination squads after him. Then came the events of 11 September 2001. Two hijacked aircraft smashed into, and destroyed, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Another aircraft ploughed into the Pentagon in Washington and a fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Altogether more than 3,000 people died in the attacks, which led to the US-led operation against the Taliban. Allied forces moved into Afghanistan late in 2001. At the time, it was believed that Bin Laden might have been killed during the battle for the Tora Bora cave complex. In reality, he had slipped across the border into Pakistan, a country in which he achieved the sort of cult status usually reserved for pop stars or film actors. In February 2003, an audio tape, purporting to be of Bin Laden, was delivered to the al-Jazeera television company. Of the impending US-led invasion of Iraq, the voice said: "This crusaders' war concerns, first and foremost, all Muslims, regardless of whether the Iraqi socialist party or Saddam remain in power. "All Muslims, especially those in Iraq, should launch a holy war." The US conceded that the voice was probably Bin Laden's. The last known sighting of Bin Laden by anyone other than his very close entourage remains in late 2001 as he prepared to flee from his Tora Bora stronghold. In Pakistan, he was given hospitality and shelter by some local Pashtun tribesmen loyal to the Taliban and opposed to their own government then led by President Pervez Musharraf. The hunt for Bin Laden took a dramatic turn with the arrest in Pakistan, in 2003, of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The head of al-Qaeda's operations and the suspected mastermind of the Twin Towers attack, it seemed as though the net had begun to close in on Bin Laden himself. A major offensive to capture Bin Laden was launched by the Pakistani army along the Afghan border in May-July 2004. But a year later, Mr Musharraf admitted the trail had gone cold. Though al-Qaeda has been prolific in issuing audio messages, often on the internet and featuring the network's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, videos of Bin Laden himself have been rare. His appearances have been carefully timed and aimed, analysts say, at influencing Western public opinion by driving a wedge between citizens and their leaders. One such video was issued in 2004 - the same year as the Madrid bombings - and days before the US election. A second surfaced as the sixth anniversary of the 11 September attacks approached, timed to quell rumours that he had been dead for some time. To his supporters, Bin Laden was a fighter for freedom against the US and Israel, not, as he was to many in the West, a terrorist with the blood of thousands of people on his hands. Robertson took charge of his first competitive game in his second spell as boss of the Highland side as they swept aside Brechin City 3-0 in League Cup Group A. Falkirk beat Stirling Albion 4-1 in the group's other match. "It was a situation I never thought I'd find myself in," Robertson told BBC Scotland. "I hadn't applied for the job. I wasn't 100% sure if I would go back into management, I had a good job at Hearts. I spoke to the club, it was a very positive chat. It was a complete shock. "In the end I spoke to family members and they said 'would you regret it if you didn't take it?' "They were spot on - in a year's time I would have regretted it." Robertson was Inverness CT manager from 2002 to 2004, leading the club to the top flight for the first time in their history. It is a feat he hopes to repeat after the club's relegation last season, and has been encouraged by the recruitment of eight players over the summer. "It'll be a positive, attacking team, that's the way I try to play, and try to entertain people," said Robertson. "I've been encouraged by the talent that's out there. I can assure everyone they're not coming here for the money, they're coming here for the chance to stay full-time and play and get their careers on track. "We've got a good squad of players together. We want to be in a place to try and qualify from the group stage and then be ready for an absolute blockbuster of an opening league game against Dundee United." Gary Warren scored a first-half double for Inverness before George Oakley added a third to give them a winning start to their League Cup campaign. It is Falkirk who occupy top spot in the group, though, after Nathan Austin, Joe McKee and Alex Harris' first half goals were added to by Aaron Muirhead's penalty. Darren Smith's goal three minutes from time gave the Binos a consolation. Match ends, Inverness CT 3, Brechin City 0. Second Half ends, Inverness CT 3, Brechin City 0. Corner, Brechin City.

Fallan Kurek, from Tamworth, died on 14 May, six days after going to Robert Peel Community Hospital complaining of chest pains. A coroner ruled she died from a "massive" pulmonary embolism after side-effects from the pills were not treated properly. Burton Hospitals NHS Trust claimed it had learned lessons from the case. In a statement after the inquest, Ms Kurek's aunt Rebecca Loeve said the family was "devastated" by her death. "We love Fallan so much and we miss her desperately," she said. More on this and other stories in Stoke and Staffordshire The inquest heard Ms Kurek had been taking the pill to regulate heavy periods. She had prescriptions from her GP, Christopher Jones, from October 2014, as well as January and March last year. Mr Jones said she had been assessed as being at "extremely low risk" of deep vein thrombosis. The inquest heard users of contraceptive pills are issued with a leaflet warning of a raised risk of the condition. Ms Kurek went to the hospital on 8 May where a nurse assessed her and gave her painkillers for muscular pain. She collapsed at home three days later. Recording a narrative verdict, South Staffordshire Coroner Andrew Haigh said Ms Kurek had probably suffered "irrevocable" brain damage by the time she arrived at Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield. A spokesman for Burton Hospitals NHS Trust said: "The trust wishes to express its deepest sympathy to the family of Fallan Kurek." Leigh Griffiths had turned the game on its head, netting two stunning free-kicks on 87 and 90 minutes to give the Scots a 2-1 lead. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had given the visitors a 70th-minute advantage. England lead Group F with 14 points from six games, Scotland are fourth with eight points. The result means England are now unbeaten in 35 qualifying fixtures, a run stretching back to 2009. When Scotland needed someone to believe, to insist that they were not beaten in the game or in this qualifying campaign, Griffiths stepped to the fore. With two sweeps of his left foot he turned the contest and gave Scotland fresh hopes of qualification. The striker had been an effective presence throughout the game, holding up the ball well, releasing it at the right times and showing clever awareness. No chances were created for him, but he took the two opportunities that came his way with devastating accuracy from free-kicks 25 yards out. Having the nerve and presence of mind, only moments after scoring his first, to be as accurate and poised again for the second was remarkable. At that moment, Scotland would have felt elated, but the game still had one cruel twist to deliver. Media playback is not supported on this device The dilemma for Gordon Strachan was where best to place Kieran Tierney. He knew that the Celtic left-back would be a solid and dependable figure at right-back, but that would mean leaving out Ikechi Anya, one of the other players in his squad who is quick across the ground. When England were likely to be sending out Marcus Rashford, Kyle Walker and Ryan Bertrand, Scotland needed as much pace in their side as Strachan could muster. There was the threat, too, of the combinations between Kane and Dele Alli in attack, so the prospect of a three-man defence, with Tierney on the left, Charlie Mulgrew playing as the spare man at sweeper, and Anya at right wing-back made sense. It was a bold decision by Strachan, since the left-footed Christophe Berra played on the right of the three and Tierney is a dynamic, attacking full-back. He is also, though, a clever defender with shrewd instincts. For long periods of the game, the back-three looked stable enough to justify Strachan's decision. Mulgrew tended to offer security between his two centre-back partners, and Kane was seldom a threat, yet he slipped free once, in time added on, to stab home the equaliser and reduce Scotland's haul from this game to one point. Scotland ought to have been most competitive in midfield. Scott Brown and Stuart Armstrong have been in excellent form all season for Celtic, while James Morrison was a vital figure in the last game, a 1-0 win over Slovenia. Brown was booked in the third minute, but he remained his usual bullish self. Morrison took a knock early on and never really recovered, needing to be replaced at half-time. The change improved Scotland since his replacement, James McArthur, was more dynamic and assured on the ball. In the early stages of the second half, Scotland pressed England back and made their defenders look rattled at times. Replacing the subdued Robert Snodgrass with Ryan Fraser was also the right move by Strachan, while the third substitute, Chris Martin, earned the second free-kick that Griffiths scored. Strachan made a series of decisions before and during this game, and almost pulled off a famous victory. Yet that will feel like only a small consolation. Match ends, Scotland 2, England 2.

Flanker Robshaw, 28, has captained Harlequins for the past four years. Quins director of rugby Conor O'Shea said he wanted to relieve some of the pressure on Robshaw in the run-up to next year's Rugby World Cup. "I have been speaking to Chris about the dual role of captaining both England and Harlequins for some time," O'Shea said. "He has a massive year ahead of him. It will allow him to focus on being at his best for both club and country. "We want him to be at his best for Harlequins, win trophies here and also lift the World Cup next year. "To do so, we believe he needs to be fresh both mentally and physically, hence why we have made this decision now." Eastbourne-born Marler, who made his England debut in 2012 and has won 22 caps, paid tribute to his predecessor. "Chris led us through the most successful period we have had as a club," Marler said. "It will be good to be able to take the pressure off him as he heads into a huge year with England. "I'm really honoured to be asked to lead a special group like this and a great club." Patients at the Tawel Fan ward at the Ablett Unit at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Denbighshire were treated "like animals in a zoo", a report in May found. The latest inspection found Tegid ward provided a "caring approach" but was unable to meet patients' needs. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said progress was being made. It added: "The report highlights a number of significant issues that we are working to address with urgency. "Progress is being made, with six of the recommendations completed. We are on schedule to deliver actions with a 31 October target date." The Ablett Unit has four wards including Tawel Fan, which was closed in December 2013. The three others, Cynnydd, Dinas and Tegid, were given an unannounced inspection in July by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, which found "significant environmental issues on the unit". Inspectors found problems with the layout and decoration of Tegid ward, which caters for older people, including cramped eating areas, dirty and worn dining chairs and insufficient space for wheelchair users. The report noted staffing level problems on Tegid and Dinas wards which had the potential to compromise patient safety. Inspectors also found male patients could be put in the female area on Tegid ward due to bed shortages. However they reported positive improvements since a 2014 inspection, including the appointment of an activities co-ordinator which had "really helped by enhancing the social and recreational activities for patients". The inspectors made more than 20 recommendations, saying: "The significant environmental issues identified on Tegid ward clearly highlighted that the ward was not fit for purpose and was unable to meet the needs of the patient group. "The health board must review and address the concerns and provide assurance of long and short term provision." Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board was placed in special measures in June after the original report was published. The Edinburgh-based publisher announced the move in a memo to staff on Friday. The number of planned redundancies was not specified but the National Union of Journalists said 32 posts in Scotland were at risk. The move comes as the company, whose titles include The Scotsman and the Yorkshire Post, continues to cut costs following a decline in revenue. The memo, sent by editor-in-chief Jeremy Clifford, said: "We're reviewing the structures within every newsroom, considering if we are best placed to deliver the content to our audiences in the fastest, most efficient way, and if not, identifying how we need to organise ourselves better. "We need to consider if we have we got the right mix of managers, writers and those who curate and collate content from our communities. "Other considerations include looking at the print portfolio, and have we got the websites most appropriate for our markets." He added: "We expect the review of our newsroom structures will lead to a reorganisation for some of our teams as well. In some cases that will mean a reduction in team sizes. "We have identified a number of areas where job reductions will come from and how that may affect different teams directly. "Later today a number of announcements will be made about some of those proposals. "These will set out our intention but it will take some time to work out the detail of those changes and how we want our organisations to operate in future." Johnston Press, which also publishes the Edinburgh Evening News, later said it would be making no further comment. NUJ Scotland national organiser Paul Holleran said: "It would be an understatement to say that journalists across Johnston Press are shocked at this latest round of job cuts. "The NUJ will work with local management to mitigate the redundancies and their impact on the quality of titles but we are seriously concerned at this announcement." Earlier this week, Newsquest announced plans to cut editorial jobs at the Herald and Times newspaper group. The group said the move was aimed at ensuring "the long-term sustainability of the business" in the face of "challenging" trading conditions. The reigning world champion fluffed the 12th red in the opening frame of his 6-1 victory in York. But the miss was not as costly as it could have been, with the rolling prize money of £5,000 meaning the total top break fund stood at £10,000. "A 147 is nice but it still only wins one frame. It's good if the money is a substantial amount as well," he said. Selby, the 2012 UK champion, hit a memorable 147 at the Barbican in 2013. "That was for about £59,000 and it wasn't at that yet. But it would have been a nice way to start the tournament," Selby added. "I didn't make up my mind when I played the red I missed. I should have got up off the shot and started again." But the Leicester potter, 33, said negotiating a tough opening match was all that mattered: "Andy has been a semi-finalist at the World Championship and the UK and he is a difficult opponent," Selby added. "I knew it would be tough and I would have to be on my toes so I am happy to get through." Sign up to My Sport to follow snooker news and reports on the BBC app.

Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said the fire happened at a site in Broad Street, Kidderminster, where vehicles are stored and repaired. Nearby residents reported a "lot of smoke" coming from the 130m by 60m unit at about 13:40 GMT. Brigade spokesman Dan Quinn said four crews would stay overnight to tackle any hot spots and make the area safe. He said the blaze "destroyed 100% of the unit". More than 30 firefighters from across the West Midlands region tackled the fire at its height. No-one was injured, the fire service said. The cause of the blaze is being investigated. Lee Burton, a witness at the site, said he heard "explosions" before seeing plumes of smoke. Rebecca Telling, who lives nearby, said she was watching television which she noticed "hazy smoke" through the window. "I saw it all black in the sky and I could see a lot of flames from the roof tops, still really black and burning quite a lot. It [the smoke] is moving across through roof tops," she said. It said without a more pro-business stance, the resulting political instability may force more firms to alter their plans "away from the UK". The EEF is the latest business organisation to call for a rethink of the government's Brexit plans. It wants access to the single market to be at the heart of Brexit negotiations. The EEF said even before the election firms were already altering or thinking about changing their business plans because of the Brexit vote. Terry Scuoler, EEF chief executive, said the government had already "wasted a year" and needed to "move away from its previous rhetoric and start repairing relations with EU partners". For the EEF that meant putting access to the single market and staying in a customs union at the centre of the government's negotiations and involving business groups in the talks over trade. It is also calling for a "suitable" transition period to be "firmly back on the table" as part of the Brexit talks. On Monday Carolyn Fairbairn, director-general of the CBI, called for the government to "reset" Brexit negotiations, which are due to start next week. Meanwhile, the uncertainty caused by the general election has led business confidence to sink "through the floor", according to the Institute of Directors. A snap poll of 700 members of the lobby group found a "dramatic drop" in confidence following the hung parliament. The main priority for the new government should be striking a new trade deal with the European Union, according to the IoD. Business groups such as the CBI and EEF believe the election result has weakened the hand of those wanting a "hard Brexit", which would involve leaving not just the EU but also the single market, customs union and escaping the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. They favour a deal that would give British business much the same access to the rest of the EU as they enjoy now and seem to be freshly emboldened to press their case. A location on the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula was designated a protected area for the endangered cat last year. It is being extended to taken in parts of Morvern to give the haven a total coverage of 500 square miles. Domestic cats in and around the wildcat green zone are being neutered to prevent them breeding with pure wildcats. Mixing with domestic cats, disease and loss of habitat have led to wildcats becoming an endangered species. The project involves scientist Dr Paul O'Donoghue. They believe wildcats' best chance of surviving is in the remotest parts of Scotland. Ardnamurchan and Morvern include some of Scotland's wildest landscapes and few human residents. The main communities in Ardnamurchan - Acharacle and Strontian - have populations of about 560 and 350. The haven project is separate from one involving six priority areas for Scottish wildcat conservation identified following research commissioned by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Thee Angus Glens, Strathbogie in Aberdeenshire, Strathavon in Moray and Morvern, Strathpeffer and Dulnain in the Highlands are the six areas. The research suggested these were where wildcats had the best chance. Nine areas were assessed as part of the multi-agency Wildcat Action project. Saturday will see the final day of the World Orienteering Championships, and Belladrum Tartan Heart Music Festival. The same day sees the start of Historic Scotland's Celebration of the Centuries event at Fort George near Ardersier. The event, which features 250 re-enactors depicting 2,000 years of history and draws crowds of several thousand people, continues on Sunday. Hundreds of competitors watched by thousands of spectators have been competing in the World Orienteering Championships and the Scottish 6 Days Orienteering event in and around Nairn, Forres and Glen Affric. The competitions started on 31 July. Kaiser Chiefs will close Belladrum near Beauly. About 15,000 people have been at Bella, which opened on Thursday night. The Black Isle Show was also held this week at Muir of Ord. The £240,000 four-bedroom Passivhaus in West Kirby, Wirral, was built of insulated masonry and concrete. It features triple-glazing, LED lighting and an air-source heat pump. Owner Colin Usher said being honoured by the Buildings and Energy Efficiency Awards "dispels the myth" eco homes are "expensive and radically different". Passivhaus, which mean passive house, is an ultra-low energy design standard for homes developed in Germany in the 1980s and 90s. About 37,000 homes have been built to the standard across the world according to the Passivhaus Trust, an organisation for the movement in the UK. Mr Usher, who is a director at Liverpool's John McCall Architects, designed the house for himself and his wife. He said it was "very comfortable to live in and its appearance is not incongruous with surrounding houses". It has been orientated so the windows and solar panels on the roof receive the optimum amount of sunlight and features high ceilings, carefully positioned glass and large spaces to let the most natural light and heat in. Mr Usher and his wife have lived in the property for two years and the cost for heating, lighting, hot water and cooking was "just £15 per annum", he said. "This is a simple building and, in effect, runs on the same amount of power used by a 40W light bulb." An equivalent property his firm recently designed to meet normal building regulations cost about £1,800 a year to heat, he said, adding that data showed his home was performing "almost four times better than the Passivhaus standard it was targeting". Households were responsible for 600,000 tonnes of the waste, while businesses generated about 740,000 tonnes. The amount of food dumped would, according to ZWS, fill 17 million wheelie bins. The figure, calculated from detailed information gathered in 2013, will be used as the baseline to measure future improvements. The Scottish government has set itself the target of reducing food waste by one third by 2025. The financial cost to households has been calculated as £1.1bn each year - an average of £460 per household. ZWS believes about 60% of the waste is avoidable. Its chief executive, Iain Gulland, said: "Our research shows for the first time the true scale of the challenge we face to achieve Scotland's ambitious food waste reduction target - but it's one we are determined to take on together. Tackling the scale of wasted food in our society is an economic, environmental and moral imperative. "We have made a good start. Since putting the issue of food waste on the map we have worked to reduce household food waste, resulting in a 6% decrease." Food and drink production is believed to account for one-fifth of Scotland's carbon footprint. Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham added: "This research from Zero Waste Scotland, together with the work that we are doing to measure food that doesn't make it off the farm, will set the baseline against which we will measure our target. "We will now collaborate with organisations from all sections of the supply chain to develop options for policy interventions to meet our target." After two major upgrades to its growth forecasts since the referendum - in November and February - today saw a slight downward revision. But it is not time to race for the lifeboats. The Bank said business investment was stronger than expected and that growth next year and in 2019 was likely to be slightly higher than previously forecast - although still significantly below 2%. A prediction, it said pointedly, "conditioned on the assumptions that the adjustment to the United Kingdom's new relationship with the European Union is smooth". Which it might not be. For this year there are some major negative trends. Consumers have started to feel the effects of inflation and there has been a "slowing in real household spending growth". Wage growth is also "notably weaker than expected" and is set to be below inflation this year - meaning that real incomes are falling. The incomes squeeze - felt so widely after the financial crisis - is back. Businesses are still nervous about the future - and what they may invest in salaries - and there is enough slack in the labour market to make inflationary wage demands difficult. At the same time, the Bank upgraded its inflation forecast, saying it could now hit 2.8% as the effects of the fall in the value of sterling wash through an economy that imports 40% of its food and fuel. So, a tough 2017. But the Bank's take on the temperature of the economy is more than a one year analysis. And over the three year forecast period, it is more bullish. Sterling has strengthened this year after its precipitate fall following the Brexit vote. The European - and indeed global - economy is stronger than expected, important for a trading nation like the UK. Wage growth will strengthen, it says, as the employment market tightens. Inflation risk will dissipate as the effects of sterling's decline falls out of the data. The incomes squeeze will reverse. This is a carefully worded Inflation Report, drafted, of course, in the middle of an election campaign. It is cautious in the short term, with the Bank indicating privately that 2017, when it comes to that key issue of wage growth, could be "the worst of it". There is a sting in the tail. Earlier this year the markets judged that the chances of an interest rate rise were so low there was only likely to be one increase over the next three years. Today the Bank was certainly more hawkish, saying that monetary policy "could need to be tightened by a somewhat greater extent" than markets believed. That is not to say there is likely to be an interest rate hike any time soon. But, if the Bank's more positive outlook towards the end of the three year forecast period comes to pass, the Monetary Policy Committee could move more rapidly towards interest rate rises than some expect. Police were called to reports a woman at a property in Peckmill Green had been shot by one of two men on a motorbike at about 18:10 GMT. She was taken to hospital for a leg injury consistent with a firearm discharge, police said. Her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. Police believe it was a targeted attack and an investigation is under way. The motorbike had been outside the property and was later seen being ridden in the direction of Wood Lane. Det Ch Insp Mark Tivendale said: "We are keeping an open mind as to why this has happened and the investigation is in its early stages. "If you know something, please come forward - silence could result in someone being seriously injured, or killed in the future." In an interview with Fox News, Mr Trump called Mr Tillerson, 64, a "world-class player" who has made "massive deals". As Exxon CEO Mr Tillerson has had business ties with Russia's leadership and is said to have a good relationship with President Vladimir Putin. He has criticised sanctions against Russia for its annexation of Crimea. In an interview Fox News Sunday, Mr Trump praised Mr Tillerson, saying: "He's a world-class player. He's in charge of an oil company that's pretty much double the size of its next nearest competitor." Mr Trump added that Mr Tillerson knows many of the players and he knows them well. He does massive deals in Russia." Republican Senator John McCain expressed "concern" about Mr Tillerson's potential links to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom the senator called "a thug, a bully and a murderer", during an interview with Fox News on Saturday. However, speaking on to CBS on Sunday, he said the Senate would give Mr Tillerson a "fair hearing" should he be selected by Mr Trump. Mr Tillerson is likely to be named America's top diplomat next week. NBC News reports that ex-US ambassador to the UN John Bolton may serve as his deputy. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani withdrew himself from consideration for the post last week. This is the latest twist in Donald Trump's weeks-long search for a top diplomat: he has been considering close to a dozen candidates with significantly different views and backgrounds. Transition officials say he has finally settled on Rex Tillerson although there has been no official announcement. The long-time oil executive does not have any diplomatic experience but he has done business with many foreign governments, including in Russia where he has developed a good relationship with President Vladimir Putin. That is one reason his nomination would be closely scrutinised by lawmakers - especially in the wake of intelligence assessments that Russian hackers acted covertly to promote Mr Trump's campaign. A former company commander in the Parachute Regiment, he served in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq and Sierra Leone, including a tour of duty in Helmand province and a stint as right-hand man to Gen Sir Mike Jackson. The 43-year-old is a father of three, who recently remarried after losing his first wife to cancer. Born in Nottingham, he attended a local comprehensive school, later gaining a degree in international politics and strategic studies at Aberystwyth University. A mild-mannered character when you meet him in person, his action-man credentials were nevertheless burnished further when a story emerged about him facing down a would-be mugger who threatened to smash a bottle over his head. This sort of stuff makes him stand out in a Parliamentary Labour Party packed with former university lecturers, journalists and other varieties of pen-pusher. But the question hanging over him since he arrived in Parliament in 2011, after winning the Barnsley Central by-election, is whether there is more to him than an impressive back story? He was cautiously on-message in his early media appearances. This may, in part, be a legacy of his 20 years in the armed forces, when he was prevented by Queen's Regulations from publicly expressing political views, even though he had been a member of the Labour Party since his teens. He confessed in one of his first interviews, that he went out of his way to avoid the media spotlight until he was selected to fight Barnsley Central, a contest caused by the jailing of MP Eric Illsley for expenses fraud. He has been more outspoken recently, particularly on the subject of Britain's nuclear weapons, even hinting that he might have to leave the party if it ditches its commitment to renewing Trident. And on Thursday, he made a wide-ranging speech setting out his vision for getting Labour back into power, arguing for a break with the New Labour era and a more "radical" economic policy to tackle ingrained inequality. Mr Jarvis had been urged to stand in last year's Labour leadership contest, amid much excited chatter about him being the candidate the Conservatives would fear most. He was pursued by "Dan fans" and dogged by reporters and film crews for a couple of days until he ruled himself out, saying he had to put his young family first. He now says he regrets not giving more thought to a leadership bid - and is once again being touted as the standard-bearer of the "moderate", or anti-Corbyn, wing of the party, if as some expect, there is a challenge to the Labour leader in the summer. His speech on Thursday was pored over for signs of attacks on Jeremy Corbyn - there were none - and the outlines of a distinctive policy agenda - there was talk of an end to short-termist economics and getting the unions more involved in training. The key soundbite, in a conscious echo of Tony Blair's famous crime mantra, was: "Tough on inequality, tough on the causes of inequality." It got mixed reviews from Labour figures on social media but it did enough to earn him a blast from Ken Livingstone, Mr Corbyn's defender-in-chief, who laid into his decision to accept donations from a hedge-fund manager. "Hedge-fund managers have been the most rapacious and damaging form of capitalists that we've had. It's absolutely bizarre. It's a bit like Jimmy Savile funding a children's group," said Mr Livingstone. According to the Register of Members' Interests, Mr Jarvis received £16,800 from hedge-fund manager Martin Taylor in February to support his work as an MP. Mr Livingstone went on to say that there was an "embittered group of old Blairites who are looking for someone to challenge Jeremy" and they think Dan Jarvis is "someone credible to run". It provoked a furious reaction from Labour MPs opposed to Mr Corbyn, with one calling the Savile reference "disgusting". Mr Jarvis has opted not to respond, although the episode will have offered him a small taste of what he can expect if he does decide to challenge Mr Corbyn for the leadership. The home side had only just drawn level on 54 minutes to wipe out the visitors' interval lead when McKirdy picked up a loose ball in the centre circle and showed amazing pace to race clear on the break, and slot past Scott Shearer on 57 minutes to end the Stags' unbeaten run at six matches. Three minutes earlier Pat Hoban had turned well to steer home the equaliser from close range after keeper Jamie Jones had been forced to claw a long Rhys Bennett cross away from his goalmouth. After a poor first half-hour with few openings, the visitors had broken through on 32 minutes when Charlie Lee was allowed to get his head onto a Henry Cowans free-kick and flick the ball past Shearer. Mansfield should have levelled five minutes later, but Mal Benning headed over from six yards after getting on the end of a long Kevan Hurst cross. On 42 minutes Benning looked to receive a shove in the back from Ronnie Henry in the box as he tried to head at goal, but penalty appeals were turned down. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Media playback is not supported on this device Ninth seed Waites, 38, eased past number four seed and fellow Englishman Jamie Hughes 6-1 in his semi-final. He remains on course for a second world title at Frimley Green, having thrashed Tony O'Shea 7-1 in the 2013 final. Smith, 40, beat Dutchman Richard Veenstra 6-5 in the other last-four tie, sealing the match with a 10-dart leg. Waites was the only one of the four semi-finalists to have qualified for a Lakeside final before, and that previous experience appeared to give him an edge early on against Hughes. After two comeback wins over Geert de Vos and top seed Glen Durrant, this was a comfortable victory for the Yorkshireman. He was 5-0 up inside 46 minutes, winning 15 of the 19 legs that were played before the interval. Hughes managed to avoid a whitewash by winning the sixth set but Waites, who has recently recovered from surgery on a long-term shoulder injury, comfortably closed out the match. He almost did it in style, missing a shot at the bull for a 161 checkout, before a successful attempt at double four saw him through to a second World Championship final. In contrast to a one-sided first semi-final, the second was as tense as they come. Modest Canadian Smith is accumulating a growing group of supporters 3,000 miles from home and came through an enthralling contest with Veenstra - who began the tournament as a 66-1 outsider for the title. Neither player held more than a one-set advantage in the match, but Smith saved his best until last. Leading 3-2 in the decider, he got seven darts into a perfect leg. Although the magical nine-darter did not materialise, a 10-dart leg was more than enough to see him into the final. As for Veenstra, reaching the last four on his Frimley Green debut was far beyond his expectations. He was scheduled to return home to the Netherlands on Tuesday, but had to cancel his boat trip home after knocking out third seed Jeffrey de Graaf in the first round. The 34-year-old has had a memorable week in Surrey, also knocking out defending champion Scott Mitchell in the quarter-finals, and is definitely a name to look out for in the future. •Scott Waites could join a select group of players who have won the BDO World Championship title on more than one occasion - John Lowe, Eric Bristow, Jocky Wilson, Phil Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld, Ted Hankey and Martin Adams. •Jeff Smith is aiming to become the third non-European winner of the BDO World Championship title, following fellow Canadian John Part (1994) and Australia's Tony David (2002). •Smith's 10-dart leg, which sealed victory against Richard Veenstra, equalled the best leg of the tournament so far. Jeff Smith: "This year has proved that last year wasn't a fluke. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. Anyone can win tomorrow. You've just got to put your head down, play one leg at a time and see where you end up." Scott Waites: "That seemed a little bit more straightforward than the other two days. Jamie's such a fantastic player and he didn't perform today." BBC pundit Bobby George on Waites' win over Hughes: "Obviously you can come back from 5-0 down, but you've got to be right on your game to do it and Hughes wasn't on his game today. If you watched him yesterday (against Wesley Harms) and then watched him today, he didn't seem like the same guy. "Waites didn't play as well as he has in the games before, because he had the pressure to make him play better. He's done his job, he's in the final." According to court documents, Michael Sandford, 20, told police he wanted to shoot Mr Trump. His mother Lynne said she feared her son may try to take his own life if he is detained in a US prison. She said she want him to be deported "so he could be back in this country and get psychiatric help". If convicted, Mr Sandford, who has Asperger's syndrome, could face up to 30 years in prison. Speaking on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme, Ms Sandford said she did not want her son to "escape punishment" but did not want him to be incarcerated abroad. Mr Sandford has a history of contact with mental health services, she said, and had previously tried to take his own life. There was "no way" he would cope with the conditions in a US prison if he received a lengthy sentence, she said. His family had been told he was being held "in isolation 22 hours a day with no window to the outside world". "He is really closed off to society, to everything," she added. "He is very gentle, calm person" and would think "there is no point," she added. "Why would he live the next 30 years in these situations? So yes I think he would attempt to commit suicide again." Mr Sandford travelled to the US around a year ago. His mother said she "desperately" tried to stop him from leaving the UK, but despite support from medical professionals was unable to do so. "We were basically told because he's 18 unless you have him declared mentally incompetent, there's nothing you can do," he said. "And because he is very articulate, very bright, we could not stop him." His mother said she would go from hearing nothing at all to receiving 10 calls a day from him. He would refuse to answer questions about what he had been doing or his lifestyle, she added. "Next thing I knew, on 18 June, I was woken at midnight by a call from the Foreign Office - it shocked me," Ms Sandford explained. "They said he had been arrested. My world fell apart, I was shaking head-to-foot and burst into tears. I couldn't believe it." "I need to know what happened to him in the last year in America. Who put these ideas in his head?" According to court documents, Mr Sandford told the secret service that he had driven to the rally in Las Vegas from California in order to kill Mr Trump and he had been to a gun range the day before to practise shooting. He also said he expected to die in the attempt, which he had been planning for a year. Ms Sandford said her son "had never mentioned politics in any way in his entire life and never taken an interest in politics." The Foreign Office said in a statement: "We have offered advice and information to the family in this case and will continue to do so. We remain in contact with Mr Sandford's legal representatives and have submitted a request to visit him." The Federal Bureau of Prisons says it works to provide education to staff and inmates on suicide prevention. The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays from 09:00-11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel. The Finn spun into the spectator zone in Saturday's stage 11 at the Rally Monte Carlo and hit a photographer at low speed. Latvala carried on driving, saying after the stage that he had not realised he had hit someone. As well as the ban, Latvala has also been fined £3,800. Explaining his failure to stop, Latvala said: "My visibility was hampered briefly by thick steam from the engine and mud that had sprayed up from the ditch." But a statement from the rally stewards rejected that claim. "Looking at the images, it would be hard to believe that the driver and/or co-driver had not realised that they had hit a spectator as the body could be seen quite prominently on the bonnet and right in front of the windscreen," it read. "At that moment the visibility through the windscreen on the driver's side was not so bad and the body could be seen clearly." Wilson, 57, took charge on Christmas Eve 2015, but after winning only six of their 26 league games this campaign the club are in the relegation zone. Saturday's loss, their fourth in the last six games, left the Spireites in the drop zone on goal difference. Left-back Ritchie Humphreys has been named as caretaker manager. The 39-year-old, who is also the current chairman of the players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association, will be in charge for Tuesday's EFL Trophy game at Luton. Former Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley boss Wilson has managed in more than 1,000 competitive games and replaced Dean Saunders at the Spireites with the club 18th in League One. Last term, Chesterfield finished in the same position they were in when Wilson took over, but are now 22nd in the table. Following what proved to be his final game, Wilson said: "We're not playing badly. Yes, we're getting punished for opportunities we're giving to other teams but we're not playing badly. "But it's about results, winning games, getting as many points as we possibly can and get us in a safe or safer position." Director and company secretary Ashley Carson told BBC Radio Sheffield that Chesterfield did not want to be a club that had a "knee jerk reaction" when things were not going well. But he said poor results, plus a dwindling fan base, had prompted the board's decision to relieve Wilson of his job. "He had a great affinity for the club and he's an absolutely top drawer manager, but it gets to the stage where you look at everything that's happening and think 'we have got to change something'," Carson continued. "We've just had to look at the bigger picture with all this, and feel the time is right, and that if we get a new (management) team in before the end of the month they can make some changes while the transfer window is open." Two recent books claimed officials get huge payments for investigating candidates for sainthood, with little control over how they spend the money. The new rules mean external oversight of the bank accounts concerned. Pope Francis has made reform of the Vatican a priority of his papacy, including perceived corruption. The new rules set out the mechanism by which donors supporting a candidate for sainthood pay for the services of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, the Vatican office responsible for reviewing candidates for sainthood. How does someone become a saint? The rules call for an administrator to be named for each prospective saint, and they must "scrupulously respect'' the intention of each donation. The administrator must keep a running tab on expenditures and donations, prepare an annual budget and be subject to the oversight of the local bishop or religious superior. However, the rules do not specify how much money should be given by donors. The costs to the Vatican of investigating candidates can be high, if lots of travel is necessary to collect testimony and conduct research about the candidate's life, including establishing whether they performed miracles. However, recent books by Italian journalists alleged that there was no oversight over how some donations were spent and that candidates supported by wealthier donors were likely to have cases resolved more quickly. Hamid Nehal Ansari confessed to spying and was jailed for three years by a military court, a prison official, who asked not to be named, told the BBC. There were no further details, and the military has not officially commented. Ansari entered Pakistan's Kohat region illegally via Afghanistan in 2012, and was held by the army, media reports said. His family, who struggled to determine his whereabouts until earlier this year, have told Indian media they believe he entered Pakistan to search for a woman he had befriended online. Pakistan and India frequently arrest each other's citizens, often accusing them of being spies after they have strayed across the land or maritime border. The two neighbours have a history of mistrust and have fought three wars. Kezia Dugdale also said the manifesto offered a vision where the "rich and powerful pay their fair share". But the Conservatives said Labour's "nonsensical manifesto doesn't add up". And the SNP said it had already introduced many of the policies Labour was proposing. The Labour manifesto, which was unveiled by Jeremy Corbyn in Bradford, commits the party to opposing a second referendum on Scottish independence, which it describes as "unwanted and unnecessary". It also says a Labour government would establish a People's Constitutional Convention that will consider the option of a more federal UK. Among the other measures contained in the manifesto are: The manifesto - a draft of which was leaked last week - also outlines Labour plans for public ownership of utilities and the Royal Mail, and to introduce a £10 an hour minimum wage. And the party said it would also lower the threshold for the 45p rate of income tax from £150,000 to £80,000 and introduce a new 50p rate on earnings over £123,000. However, income tax is devolved to Holyrood - so the changes would only apply in Scotland if the Scottish government chose to introduce them. Mr Corbyn said the manifesto was a "programme of hope", which he contrasted with a Conservative campaign which he claimed was "built on one word - fear". And he insisted that Labour's plans were fully costed, telling activists: "We can embark on this ambitious programme without jeopardising our national finances." The manifesto launch was attended by Ms Dugdale, who said the party was was offering a "radical vision for a country that works for the many, not just a privileged few". And she said a Labour government would redistribute wealth and power across the UK - arguing that the Tories had made working families worse off while offering tax breaks to the wealthiest. Ms Dugdale added: "The SNP has done nothing to stop this austerity - it has simply passed it on with £1.5bn worth of cuts to local services since 2011. "A Labour vision for our country is one where the rich and the powerful pay their fair share. "Labour's manifesto gives voters a real choice: a fairer Scotland for the many, not the few; or a Scotland caught between the two extremes of Tory and SNP nationalism." By BBC Scotland political editor Brian Taylor One journalist, from a paper generally seen as supporting Labour, opened by suggesting that the party's policies, as leaked a week back, had proved relatively popular with the focus groups, before whom all politicians bow. On stage, Jeremy Corbyn beamed, beatifically. This, you could see him thinking, was the stuff to give them. That'll teach my critics. However, his interlocutor wasn't quite finished. The snag, he said, was that those same members of the public didn't seem to favour Mr Corbyn as leader and PM in waiting. During an election, politicians are programmed to smile. But it has to be said that, with this addendum, Mr Corbyn's grin faded a mite; only fractionally but perceptibly. Read more from Brian Responding to the manifesto launch, SNP deputy leader Angus Robertson said Labour was "pledging today what the SNP are already delivering for the people of Scotland". He added: "Scrapping hospital parking charges, free tuition, publicly-owned water, ending the Bedroom Tax, increasing renewable energy and expanding free childcare will all seem familiar to voters in Scotland - because they are already happening under an SNP government. "And on Scotland, Labour can only mimic the Tories' anti-independence obsession. In Scotland we don't need a poor copy of the SNP, we need strong SNP voices standing up to the Tories at Westminster." Mr Robertson also said Labour "are not going to form the next government", and that it was the SNP that had led the opposition to the Conservatives at Westminster. Meanwhile, the Conservatives said that the economic sums in the Labour manifesto "simply don't add up", and claimed working families would "pay for Corbyn's chaos with higher taxes". The party's treasury minister, David Gauke, said: "It's clear that proposal after proposal in this manifesto will mean more borrowing and debt: from promises on benefits, to promises on prison guards, to promises on nationalising the water network. "It is simply not worth taking the risk of this shambles being in charge of our economy and our Brexit negotiations in three weeks' time. "For strong, stable leadership through Brexit and beyond there is only one choice at this election: Theresa May and her Conservative team." Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said Labour would not provide the "competent opposition" the country needs. He added: "On the biggest issue of our generation, Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn, has nothing to say. "The Conservatives can't have it all their own way and Labour are incapable of even providing a competent opposition. "Liberal Democrats are standing up for the mainstream. We will oppose a hard Brexit and offer a competent, fairer voice for the country." Do you have any questions about Labour's manifesto?

Bonneval - Chartres, 53.5km Winner: Bradley Wiggins - Report Stage 20 - Sunday, 22 July: Rambouillet - Paris, 120km Winner: Mark Cavendish - Report The research suggests the risk of psychosis is three times higher for users of potent "skunk-like" cannabis than for non-users. The study of 780 people was carried out by KCL's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience. A Home Office spokesman said the report underlines the reasons why cannabis is illegal. Scientists found the risk of psychosis was five times higher for those who use it every day compared with non-users. They also concluded the use of hash, a milder form of the drug, was not associated with increased risk of psychosis. Psychosis refers to delusions or hallucinations that can be present in certain psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. "Compared with those who had never tried cannabis, users of high potency skunk-like cannabis had a threefold increase in risk of psychosis,' said Dr Marta Di Forti, lead author on the research. She added: "The results show that psychosis risk in cannabis users depends on both the frequency of use and cannabis potency." Dr Di Forti told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the availability of skunk-like cannabis was becoming more widespread. Cath from Berkshire, who asked to remain anonymous, believes smoking skunk caused her to experience mental health problems. "I dabbled with a friends' group in my early 20s, and went from someone who had never experienced any mental health issues whatsoever, to an absolute wreck. "I was terrified of leaving the house, and I became petrified of death, of the mysteries of the universe, and of being alone. You name it, I was terrified of it. "It took about six years to feel normal again and now, almost 20 years later, I have absolutely no doubt that my issues were triggered by casually and naively smoking this so called 'soft' drug. "For years I have shuddered as campaigners have sought to declassify or promote the product as I understand first-hand the hidden yet, until now, unspoken dangers of this awful drug." "In London, it's very difficult to find anything else," Dr Di Forti said. "There were lots of reports from police across the UK saying we have become a great producer of skunk. And not only do we use it locally but we export, so this is a Made in England product." Someone suffering from psychosis would often be "extremely paranoid and become very suspicious" about the people around them, she added. She has called for "a clear public message" to cannabis users, comparable to medical advice on alcohol and tobacco. GPs should be encouraged to ask how often and what type of cannabis patients use, she added, A Home Office spokesman said the findings backed up the government's approach: "Drugs such as cannabis are illegal because scientific and medical evidence demonstrates they are harmful. "This report serves to emphasise how they can destroy lives and communities." Skunk contains more THC - the main psychoactive ingredient - than other types of cannabis. Unlike skunk, hashish - cannabis resin - contains substantial quantities of another chemical called cannabidiol or CBD and research suggests this can act as an antidote to the THC, counteracting psychotic side effects. Sir Robin Murray, professor of psychiatric research at King's, commented: "This paper suggests that we could prevent almost one quarter of cases of psychosis if no-one smoked high potency cannabis. "This could save young patients a lot of suffering and the NHS a lot of money." The research was carried out over several years, comparing 410 patients aged 18-65 who reported a first episode of psychosis at a south London psychiatric hospital with 370 healthy participants within the same age range from the same area of London. It will be published later this week in the Lancet Psychiatry. Rosanna O'Connor, director of alcohol, drugs and tobacco at Public Health England, responded: "No drug use is without risk as this report demonstrates. "Anyone having problems with drug use should seek help from their local specialist drug services. It is important to remember that treatment for all types of drug problems, including cannabis, are readily available and very effective". Cannabis user Robert, from Hertfordshire experienced a "temporary psychosis" after taking home-grown cannabis in his 20s. "It was utterly terrifying, and the worst night of my life," he told the BBC News website. "As someone affected by this issue it is hard watching mainstream media, particularly comedy films, portraying cannabis as a harmless life-enhancing substance with limited ill-effects - it's simply not true." Another person who contacted the BBC website felt that legalising cannabis would allow varieties to be regulated. Phil, from Cambridgeshire, said: "Speaking as a 'toker' for past 25 years, super skunk is the term they should be using. "The cause of all this is the illegality. If things were more open and informed, people could buy 'saner' variety seeds." The bombing campaign in the skies over Yemen is in its sixth month now. Every day, residents of the capital, Sanaa, listen nervously for the rumble of jets. They know what will follow: a flash in the sky, a sickening pause, then the thud and boom of explosions as the missiles strike. The aim of the Saudi-led coalition is to oust Houthi rebels from the city. The Houthis took Sanaa last year, with the help of forces loyal to Yemen's ousted former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and the support of Iran. In response, Saudi Arabia, Iran's regional rival, has imposed a blockade on the north of the country, controlling what comes in by land, sea and air. "Yemen is one of the world's worst crises," says Tariq Riebl, head of programmes in Yemen for the charity Oxfam. "We have bombings every single day via airstrikes. We have ground fighting of very heavy levels. The country is facing famine which could start in a couple of weeks or months if things continue the way they are. We have more than a million people displaced across the country." Away from the capital, towards the Saudi border, the bombing is even more intense. We travelled across the mountains that ring Sanaa to investigate reports of deliberate attacks on civilians - attacks that could amount to war crimes. On the evening of 29 August, Ahmed Al Beyna, 13, had dinner as usual with his parents and his brother Mohammed. They live in the village of Alrabu Matwara, near the town of Abs in the north-west of the country. Just before 6pm, the brothers set off for work at a nearby water bottling plant. They were coming to the end of their night shift when the missile struck. "There was an explosion, then everything burst into flames," says factory worker Khalid al-Hababi. "Most of the workers came out like pieces of coal, buried beneath the rubble." "Everything is gone," said Akram, another worker who witnessed the aftermath. "There's nothing left. No factory, no people. We found the workers burned on to the machines." When we arrived, two days after the strike, smoke was still rising from piles of molten plastic. The owner showed us a list of who was working that night. More than half were killed, 13 men in total, including Ahmed and his brother. The Saudis said the bottling plant was in fact a weapons factory and a training camp for African mercenaries. We saw no evidence of that. The bottling plant near Abs is just one of dozens of civilian targets that have been hit since the Saudi-led campaign began at the end of March. The airstrikes are backed by a resolution at the United Nations Security Council. But the UN's top humanitarian official in Yemen, Johannes van der Klaauw, says attacks on civilian infrastructure are violations of the laws of war. "Schools and hospitals, markets, enterprises and factories should not be stricken, should not be shelled. Even in warfare there are certain rules, and they are being violated in this conflict," he said. Since the conflict started, more than 2,000 civilians have been killed. Some are victims of months of vicious ground fighting between the two sides. Houthi soldiers, some of them no more than teenagers, are accused of firing heavy weapons in built-up areas. But it is the Saudis and their coalition partners, mainly Gulf Arab countries including the United Arab Emirates, who have overwhelming force. The coalition's efforts are supported by Britain and the United States. Both countries continue to sell arms to Saudi Arabia, and are providing the Saudi-led coalition with liaison officers and technical support. Oxfam, whose own warehouse in Yemen has been hit by an airstrike, says the UK could be in breach of domestic and international laws on the sales of arms. "It's difficult to argue that a weapon sold to Saudi Arabia would not in some way be used in Yemen," says Mr Riebl. "Or if it's not used in Yemen it enables the country to use other weapons in Yemen." The Arms Trade Treaty, which came into force in December 2014, prohibits the sale of weapons where there is a clear risk they could be used for war crimes. The British government says it is not participating directly in the Saudi-led operations, but acknowledges it is providing technical support and precision-guided weapons to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Air Force has a fleet of British and American-made fighter jets, including F15s, Tornados and Eurofighter Typhoons. In July, a consignment of Paveway IV missiles, a highly accurate 500-pound bomb originally earmarked for the RAF, was delivered to Saudi Arabia. "The UK is digging into its own weapons supplies to replenish Saudi stocks," says Michael Stephens of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). The majority of the Saudi airstrikes are being carried out by American-made F15 jets. The Saudi-led coalition has publicly given few details of which weapons are being used in Yemen. Saudi Arabia is also involved in the air campaign over Syria in airstrikes against Islamic State targets. But Mr Stephens says British missiles are being used in Yemen. "They're firing UK-supplied weapons," he says. The combined effects of intense ground fighting, airstrikes and the blockade are having a devastating effect on the country. A million and a half people have fled their homes, seeking shelter in makeshift camps. Half the population of Yemen doesn't know where the next meal will come from. That number now includes Ibrahim and Khadija Al-Beyna, the parents of Ahmed and Mohammed, who were killed in the airstrike on the water bottling plant. The brothers were the only breadwinners in a family of nine. Ahmed was a typical teenager, his mother, Khalidja, remembers: always on his bike or chasing pigeons. "They took our children," says Ibrahim. "Not one but two. Mohammed and Ahmed. Together, in one moment, in one day. Whoever did this to us, may God repay them." In recent days, the airstrikes have intensified. In the capital, there is talk of an impending advance by pro-Saudi forces. This war is part of the wider regional struggle for power between Saudi Arabia and Iran. In Sanaa, the Houthis do not enjoy universal support - far from it. But with every airstrike, and every civilian death, resistance to the Saudis and their allies is growing. Part two of Gabriel Gatehouse's special report from Yemen is on Newsnight on Friday 11 September. You can also catch up on on iPlayer afterwards. Wythenshawe Hall, which is owned by Manchester City Council, was partially destroyed by the blaze, which was tackled by 50 firefighters at its height on 15 March 2016. Jeremy Taylor, 28, of Cheadle Hulme, pleaded guilty to arson at Manchester Crown Court. He was remanded in custody for sentencing on 18 August. The roof and upper floor of the Grade II timber-framed hall, which was built in 1540, were gutted in the fire. Refusing a bail application, Judge Martin Rutland told Taylor: "It is inappropriate for you to be at large having pleaded guilty." The judge said arson was an extremely serious offence and the property in question was a unique building where a huge amount of damage had been caused. In 2015 she won the bronze medal in the all-around at the European Championships becoming the first female gymnast to win an individual all-around medal for Great Britain, in her first senior year. She was also part of the team who took bronze at the World Championships - Great Britain's first ever team medal. Ellie, 17 is the current BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year and regularly competes alongside her older sister Becky who is also part of the Great Britain Gymnastic Team. Here, Ellie answers questions set by BBC News School Reporters from Aston Manor Academy in Birmingham. If you weren't an athlete, what would you want to be and why? I would either be a coach or a physiotherapist, so I'm still involved in gymnastics or sport. Describe what a typical day of training is like for you I usually start training at 10am and finish at about 6pm. Training involves a lot of condition, cardio and strength work and also training your routines and learning new skills. What keeps you motivated to train? I think just how you feel when you get to go out there and compete for you club or country just gives you such a buzz you just want to keep doing it because there no feeling like it! What do you think is the biggest myth about being a successful sportsperson? I don't think people realise really how much time, dedication and determination you really need to become a successful sportsperson. What advice would you give to other young people wanting to get into competitive sports? I think that you should set your goals but don't be to disheartened if they don't go to plan - just create more stepping stones and keep pursuing your dreams! Sophie Ecclestone (Cricket) Keelan Giles (Rugby Union) Tom Hamer (Para-swimming) Ellie Robinson (Para-swimming) Lauren Rowles (Para-rowing) Georgia Stanway (Football) Jess Stretton (Para-archery) Rebekah Tiler (Weightlifting) Amy Tinkler (Gymnastics) Read more about shortlist How do you feel before a major event or competition and how do you manage your nerves? Obviously you're going to always be a bit nervous but I think the thing that calms me down is that I know how much hard work and training I've put in to be ready for the competitions. I tell myself: "if you weren't ready you wouldn't be there". Do you have a certain ritual or routine you follow before a competition and if so what? Not particularly. Depending on my nerves I either talk to people about something totally different to gymnastics or just put my headphones in and get in my zone. What kind of support network do you think you need in the sports industry? I think you just need someone who is willing to support you through good and bad times and those people are usually friends, family or coaches. They see the day in and day out progressions and struggles. Who do you think is a brilliant role model for aspiring athletes? I think people who are at the highest level in their sport and still are so humble about it are amazing role models, people like Mo Farah and Max Whitlock. What is your 'golden moment' so far in your career? I can't decide between my individual all-around European bronze medal or our World Team bronze medal - I am really proud of them both! But as the decades have gone by and health care has shifted from curing illnesses to helping people manage long-term conditions such as dementia and heart disease, there has been an increasing sense that the two systems need to become more joined up. All three main political parties have their own ideas of how this should be done - and NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens signalled his support for greater integration with the publication of his Five-Year Forward View last autumn. But Greater Manchester has taken the bull by the horns and proposed a pooling of budgets. At this stage (and it must be said the details are still emerging) it seems to mirror what is being rolled out in Scotland and what has happened in Northern Ireland since the 1970s. So will this catch on across the rest of England? It could be argued it already has. From April there will be small pooled budgets in every 151 local authority areas - including the 10 boroughs in Greater Manchester - as part of the government's Better Care Fund initiative. They will be worth £5.3bn in total. That represents less than 5% of the combined spending on health and care nationally, but is clearly a step towards full integration. Details are still sketchy, but documents seen by the BBC suggest that the plan would be to create a pan-Greater Manchester board of health and local government officials to oversee the £6bn combined health and care budget. That would probably draw on money from several sources: the social care budgets held by the 10 local authorities, the regional funds NHS England control for specialist, complex care like heart surgery and the money held by the 12 local GP-led clinical commission groups for local health services, such as district nursing. It looks like this could take two years to get fully up-and-running. What is not yet clear is where the ultimate accountability for all this money will lie. The words devolution suggest the Greater Manchester board will be in charge. But it would be a surprise if NHS England did not retain some kind of control on the health money which will make up the majority of the £6bn pot. In theory, there is much to recommend this approach. By joining up budgets, it will allow Greater Manchester to plan the health and care of its population in a much more coordinated manner. The need for this has never been more obvious. This winter, hospitals have increasingly started to struggle to discharge frail patients because of the lack of support available in the community. That, of course, leads to blockages in the hospital system. It has also been suggested the lack of care is one of the factors behind the rise in attendances to A&E. While the NHS budget has been protected this Parliament, the same cannot be said for social care. Spending has fallen in real terms while the number of people receiving help has dropped by a quarter to 1.3m in the past four years alone. Pooling of budgets also opens up the possibility of more innovative approaches to keeping people well. For example, some local authorities have started funding home improvements on the basis that a warm home can do more for someone's health than medication. However, for all the consensus on this issue, there is an elephant in the room. Social care is means-tested, so everyone is expected to make a contribution towards their care - with many paying the full cost. If you integrate the two systems, where do you decide where one ends and the other starts? Nasreem Buksh, 43, was found dead at a flat on Dixon Avenue at about 07:00 on Saturday. Police confirmed a man was being detained in connection with the death and a report would be sent to the procurator fiscal. After the first leg of their play-off finished goalless, Fraser Mullen, for Beath, and Kieran Gibbons, for Kilby, netted in normal time. With no further score after 30 more minutes of play, the hosts scored all five of their spot-kicks. Liam Henderson struck the decisive penalty, keeping Gary Locke's side in Scottish League Two. The home side came flying out of the traps and duly took the lead after just three minutes. There was excellent build-up play down the left involving Robbie Buchannan and Dale Carrick, before Henderson laid the ball off for Mullen. The former Hearts and Hibernian defender drilled a low shot beyond Matthew McGinley in the visiting goal to break the deadlock. The Blue Brazil keep their foot on the gas, and only a magnificent stop by McGinley denied Carrick from doubling the lead. The striker also crashed a header off the crossbar before Kris Renton's deflected volley flew inches wide. East Kilbride slowly eased their way into the game and Joao Victoria, then Sean Winter, came close to a leveller. The Lowland League champions began the second half on the front foot and had claims for a penalty turned down by referee Craig Charleston after the ball appeared to strike the arm of David Syme. The Lanarkshire side's pressure did pay off, though, when the home defence failed to clear their lines, allowing Gibbons to drill the ball along the slippery surface from 25 yards out and find the bottom corner. Neither side were able to strike a knockout blow before normal time expired, and the game East Kilbride's Adam Strachan fired in a deflected 20-yard effort that struck the crossbar on its way over. Both teams looked weary as the rain-soaked pitch began to take its toll. but Cowdenbeath almost snatched a late winner through Craig Johnston, whose effort was tipped over by McGinley. With Mullen, Johnston, Renton and Syme netting spot-kicks for Cowdenbeath, and Strachan, Russell McLean and Victoria replying, it was Jamie Sneddon's save from Paul Woods that proved crucial. The stop gave Henderson the opportunity to seal victory for the Blue Brazil, and the defender duly converted his penalty, preserving Cowden's SPFL status, and consigning East Kilbride to another season of junior football. Cowdenbeath manager Gary Locke: "I don't think it's really anything to celebrate. The chairman is a flamboyant character, and when I came to the club, he said, we're in the play-offs, just win them for us. "Credit to the players, they've battled really hard over the two games. East Kilbride were fantastic, I certainly feel if they came up they'd be top-four or top-five team in this league. "So it was a really difficult two games, it gets to be a bit of a lottery when it goes to penalties, but I'm delighted the club's kept their place in the league, because the consequences of going down would've been pretty tough, I'd have thought." East Kilbride manager Martin Lauchlan: "It's devastating - we put so much into the game. We lost a goal early - the worst possible start we could've had - but after that we looked the better team and the more likely to score. "I think our fitness levels looked terrific. It's so difficult to get to this point, with so many play-off games, and to get here and lose it is tough. "I think they showed in the game they're well capable of playing at this level, but we're bitterly disappointed." Match ends, Cowdenbeath 1(5), East Kilbride 1(3).

The works, which are the second phase of a key scheme to protect the A372 at Beer Wall and increase the capacity of the River Sowy, started in April. Completion was pushed back into August to accommodate additional engineering, but it is now hoped it will be finished the week beginning 20 July. The associated closure of the A372 will also be lifted. The Beer Wall scheme is part of a multi-agency 20 Year Flood Action Plan which is now overseen by the Somerset Rivers Authority. John Osman, authority chairman and county council leader, said it was a "large and complicated" project. "That means an end date is especially hard to pin down as some design work is still going on while construction is underway," he said. "The good news is that the engineers now have plans that bring forward the expected completion date. "I'm delighted that things are going in the right direction." Mr Osman asked for "continued patience" from local residents, business and commuters, and said the council wanted to get the work finished "as soon as possible". The stretch of the A372 was closed for several weeks in 2014 due to flooding and to accommodate emergency pumping. 23 August 2016 Last updated at 06:16 BST Neill Birnie is paralysed from the neck down as a result of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. In 2014, he was admitted to Antrim Area Hospital three times with pneumonia. He told BBC Newsline that he was "furious" about what had happened. Media playback is not supported on this device As part of the change, Thunder have applied to Newcastle City Council to make Kingston Park their home ground. The switch comes after Newcastle Rugby Limited, owned by Falcons rugby union chairman Semor Kurdi took over the rugby league side in May. "It was a commonsense step," managing director Keith Christie told BBC Sport. "We're keen to make sure we don't forget our birthplace in Gateshead, but we have to ensure we move forward and unfortunately that means changing the name." Thunder play in Championship League One - two steps below the top-flight. The side previously played in the Super League as Gateshead in 1999. Christie said one of the club's priorities would now be to build up the fan base. "We always want fans to come and it's a business decision we've taken to move here," he added. The Rugby Football League has approved the name change. The decisive goal came when Liam Daly's long ball forward was nodded down by Andy Brown and White fired home to secure the three points in the 84th minute. The Moors had led early on when Brown bundled the ball home. Will Hatfield scored a spectacular equaliser as half-time loomed, the ball going in off the underside of the crossbar. Three goals lit up the final 15 minutes. Adam Boyes put Guiseley in front as he latched on to a long punt upfield, but the hosts levelled shortly afterwards when Brown headed home his second. White's late intervention then sent the Damson Park faithful into raptures. Report supplied by the Press Association Match ends, Solihull Moors 3, Guiseley 2.

He is married to a UK national. But disciplinary action for a 2010 fight with a colleague means he is considered to have a criminal record. The Border Agency said applications for settlement by ex-forces personnel were considered the same way as all others. "This involves consideration of a range of factors including unspent convictions, whether passed by military courts or resulting from police involvement," a spokesperson said in a statement. Lance Corporal Baleiwai - known as "Bale" - was born in Fiji but told the BBC's Angus Crawford he now considered the UK his home. He is married to Kim - a British national with whom he has two children, aged three and six. The 32-year-old applied for British citizenship in March 2012 because he planned to leave the Army. He left voluntarily on 15 June after 13 years' service. Foreign and Commonwealth soldiers can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain after four years' service, and citizenship after five. L/Cpl Baleiwai served in Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Iraq twice and once in Afghanistan. In 2011, his commanding officer said his performance was "of an exceptionally high standard". L/Cpl Baleiwai was rated "an excellent junior NCO [non commissioned officer]" who was "always leading from the front". "He is charismatic, selfless and well-liked," the officer said. But on 28 June 2012, L/Cpl Baleiwai heard that he had been refused citizenship and would also be refused Indefinite Leave to Remain because he had what the UK Border Agency (UKBA) classed as a criminal conviction so was not of "good character". On 12 July he was informed by letter that he must leave the country by 9 August. L/Cpl Baleiwai said he had returned from Afghanistan "a mess", suffering from flashbacks and drinking heavily. "To me, there was nothing wrong - I was normal. But now that we've had time to look back, everything was going wrong. The drinking was getting out of hand; I was getting in a mess that I was struggling to get out of." L/Cpl Baleiwai said that he then ended up brawling with his colleague. Under changes in 2010 to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, disciplinary offences and crimes under military law automatically carry over into civilian life. However, our correspondent said many disciplinary offences in the military would not be offences in civilian life and the military process lacked some of the checks and balances of civilian courts. L/Cpl Baleiwai said that his fight lasted less than a minute and his colleague suffered a broken filling. He pleaded guilty at the subsequent disciplinary hearing before his commanding officer and was fined £1,000. He said he had been offered a solicitor but waived his right because he just "wanted the case to go away". "To me as far as I understood it, that was it - that was the end of it," he said. However, the incident is now preventing him from staying with his family in Britain. L/Cpl Baleiwai said that soldiers coming back from combat zones were likely to be emotionally damaged as a result of serving Britain, and that the UKBA should make allowances when considering their applications. "We're not going to be coming back of sound mind and good character because of what we've been through - the trauma we've been through," he said. "People who are making these rules, passing those laws, they don't understand what that feels like." L/Cpl Baleiwai and his wife have written to their MP, the Home Office, Number 10, the Ministry of Defence, the Labour Party and former head of the Army Lord Dannatt to try to get permission for him to stay. So far, they have had no success. "I was proud to have served in the Army and for that 13 years service I was seen as a British soldier but to the UK Border Agency, as soon as that uniform comes off I'm no longer a British soldier, but just a foreign Commonwealth person trying to reside in the UK," he said. "But at this point I had a British family, I had a British wife - two kids that are British - and I'd been given this letter saying that I wasn't good enough. I wasn't good enough to be a citizen of this country and yet throughout those 13 years I've paid my taxes, I've served Queen and country and I felt betrayed." Mrs Baleiwai said that the support the couple had received had reminded her of why she was "proud to be British" but that what had happened to her husband made her "feel ashamed". "I want to fight this for my husband and my family because I believe it's wrong - I've believe it's incompetent of the government to make these decisions," she said. Veterans Aid chief executive Dr Hugh Milroy said it seemed "completely incredible" that L/Cpl Baleiwai was being barred from the UK because of his brawl. "This is so minuscule as an incident, but the implications are massive," he said. "This should have been done and dusted and gone." A report by the US-based group says the deaths occurred in villages inhabited predominantly by members of President Bashar al-Assad's minority Alawite sect near the coastal city of Latakia. It said the findings "strongly suggest" crimes against humanity were committed. The group has previously documented atrocities by pro-government forces. The report calls on the UN to impose an arms embargo on all groups where there is credible evidence of their involvement in war crimes. By James ReynoldsBBC News, Istanbul The attack documented by Human Rights Watch highlights the clear problem faced by countries which oppose Bashar al-Assad: the rebels whose cause they share are accused of the same kinds of crimes as the president they are trying to bring down. The scale may be different, but the impact is similar. The West has tried to address this problem by dividing the way it deals with the opposition. It provides support to the mainstream Free Syrian Army. At the same time, it has sought to prevent money and weapons reaching hardline Islamists and jihadists linked to al-Qaeda. But this appears to do little harm to the Islamist rebels' ability to fight. That is largely because they have their own sources of support - thought to include funding from individuals in the Gulf. The Syrian government has criticised the work of international human rights organisations. But it may choose to use the testimony collected by Human Rights Watch to reinforce its argument that Syria is facing a fight against foreign-backed terrorism. Human Rights Watch says it conducted an on-site investigation in September and interviewed more than 30 people, including survivors and combatants on both sides. Its 105-page report says that in the early hours of 4 August fighters from several different rebel groups attacked and overran army positions in the Sheikh Nabhan area of the Latakia countryside. A soldier told HRW that about 30 of his comrades were killed in the assault. The rebels then entered the Alawite villages of Barouda, Nbeiteh, al-Hamboushieh, Blouta, Abu Makkeh, Beyt Shakouhi, Aramo, Bremseh, Esterbeh, Obeen, and Kharata. "Eight survivors and witnesses described how opposition forces executed residents and opened fire on civilians, sometimes killing or attempting to kill entire families who were either in their homes unarmed or fleeing from the attack, and at other times killing adult male family members, and holding the female relatives and children hostage," the report says. The report names 190 civilians killed by the rebels, including at least 57 women, 18 children and 14 elderly men. The total number of dead is likely higher because many residents remained missing and bodies were buried in mass graves, it adds. Opposition sources say the women and children taken hostage in the attack are still being held. Relatives said many appeared in the background of a video published online. HRW says about 20 opposition groups took part in the offensive and that five were involved in the attacks on civilians - the al-Nusra Front, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), Jaysh al-Muhajirin wa al-Ansar, Ahrar al-Sham and Suqour al-Izz. None are affiliated to the Western-backed Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army, though SMC chief Gen Salim Idris did say at the time that fighters under his command participated in the assault. The report says ISIS and Jaysh al-Muhajirin are holding the hostages. The government launched an offensive to retake the Sheikh Nabhan area on 5 August, ultimately regaining full control on 18 August. Joe Stork, acting Middle East director at HRW, said the abuses were "not the actions of rogue fighters". "This operation was a co-ordinated, planned attack on the civilian population in these Alawite villages," he said. The report says evidence including witness statements and a review of hospital records showed rebels executed or unlawfully killed at least 67 of the 190 dead civilians who were identified. For the remainder, further investigations are required. A doctor at a hospital in Latakia said several of the bodies had multiple gunshot wounds, stab wounds or had been decapitated. Some were burnt or had their feet bound, he added. The report says the high civilian death toll and the nature of the recorded wounds "indicate that opposition forces either intentionally or indiscriminately killed most of the remaining victims". "The evidence strongly suggests that the killings, hostage taking, and other abuses committed by opposition forces on and after August 4 rise to the level of crimes against humanity." HRW says Islamist rebel groups - which include foreign fighters - are financed by individuals in Kuwait and the Gulf. It calls on the UN to impose an arms embargo on all groups credibly accused of war crimes. The organisation has also accused Syrian government forces of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the country's 31-month long conflict, most recently in a chemical weapons attack in several suburbs of the capital, Damascus, on 21 August. Western nations blamed government forces for the attack, in which hundreds died, but President Assad said rebel fighters were responsible. Experts from the global chemical weapons watchdog, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), are currently overseeing efforts to destroy weapons production equipment in Syria. Earlier this year, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, called on the UN Security Council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC). She said it "would send a clear message to both the government and the opposition that there will be consequences for their actions". More than 100,000 people have been killed since the uprising against President Assad began in March 2011, according to the UN. Twenty-six Welsh Paralympians have been selected looking for a haul of 20 to 30 medals over the Rio and Tokyo Games in four years' time. Attention will focus first on the table tennis, but there are of hopes of Welsh success across the board. "We're proud to have 26 Welsh athletes selected," said Jon Morgan, executive director of Disability Sport Wales. "We agreed a target with Sport Wales of making up 7% of the ParalympicsGB team. To get 10% is very pleasing and a credit to the structures we have in place and the backroom team involved. Media playback is not supported on this device "Para-sport has never been as competitive and it is increasingly difficult to win medals. "But we have a group of athletes that includes world champions, European champions, world record holders and Paralympic medallists." The table tennis starts with Wales providing a third of the 12-person team, including world number one Rob Davies while Sara Head and Paul Davies won bronze London 2012. Head is looking to pick up another medal in Rio, but said being a part of the Games was already a dream come true. "It was an exhilarating experience to win bronze in London," said the 36-year-old. "Of course I would really like to win a medal again, but as long as I perform to my best and I achieve as much as I can then I know I will go home happy. "To have a third of the team from Wales is a massive achievement in itself. The support back home is incredible. You just can't describe how wonderful it is to have that support from home." Paul Davies 49, believes the pressure will be off slightly in Rio this time around. "It's going to be different from London, the conditions and weather are very different and the ball will be playing in a different way," said Davies. "For me personally I've been in this game for 25 years. If you can be in a bronze medal game in London with 6,500 people shouting you name, then coming to Rio should be a breeze. "I would love to capitalise on winning the bronze last time." The Welsh contingent in the table tennis side is completed by Paul Karabardak and Abergavenny's Rob Davies, who missed out on a medal in London, but arrives in Brazil currently ranked number one in the world. "Being number one is something I am just going to have to use to my advantage. I just have to get out there and do a job," Davies said. "I think I put a lot of pressure on myself going into London. In Rio I am just going to try to enjoy it." The case should be "struck off" because of lengthy delays in bringing him to trial, a judge ruled. Mr Malema was charged in 2012 with money laundering, racketeering and corruption related to a government contract worth $4m (£2.5m). He denied the charges, and said they were politically motivated. Mr Malema formed the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party in 2013 following his expulsion from the governing African National Congress (ANC). He is a fierce critic of President Jacob Zuma, and has campaigned against corruption. Correspondents say the ruling is a big boost for Mr Malema's career, and will fuel perceptions that he is the victim of an abuse of power. Judge George Mothle said the case had dragged on for too long, and this was "prejudicial" to Mr Malema, South Africa's News24 site reports. "For now, the case is over, you are free to go," the judge told Mr Malema. However, he added, the defendant not been formally acquitted, so prosecutors could still charge him again. Addressing his cheering supporters outside court, Mr Malema said the prosecution had "messed up" its case. "Let them manufacture any new charges against me. They will never win," he said. "It is going to keep happening; there will be attempts on our lives," Mr Malema added. The charges related to a government contract awarded to a company in which Mr Malema held a stake through his family trust. The contract was for the construction of roads in Mr Malema's home region of Limpopo, when he was still the head of the governing party's youth wing. He was accused of "improperly" receiving money for the contract.

Stoke manager Tony Pulis said: "This is a fantastic deal for the club because Wilson has proved himself to be a top class performer at the highest level." Palacios moved to Spurs in a £12m deal from Wigan Athletic. The move was finalised close to the end of the transfer window after Palacios passed a medical and agreed personal terms. He made 22 starts for Spurs last season and featured for his country at the World Cup in South Africa, playing three times. Pulis added: "He has a considerable amount of international experience and played a prominent part in getting Tottenham into the Champions League only two years ago. "He has great energy and the qualities to become a driving force in the middle of the park, the type of player our fans will love. "We have been looking to stregthen our options in midfield and I am delighted to have him on board." Palacios follows Jonathan Woodgate, who completed a free transfer from Spurs to Stoke earlier this summer. Stoke later broke their transfer record to sign striker Peter Crouch from Tottenham in a £12m deal. "Why hire a lawyer when you can buy the judge?" The slogan, painted on a placard carried recently by civil society protesters, captures the kind of attacks the Kenyan judiciary has had to endure in recent days. The men and women who dispense justice have come under fierce scrutiny, following bribery allegations against a supreme court judge. After reviewing a report by a special committee that looked into the matter, the Judicial Service Commission recommended that Justice Philip Tunoi should face a tribunal. Its job would be to determine whether or not he received a bribe of $2m (£1.4m) to rule in favour of Evans Kidero, whose election as Nairobi governor was challenged in 2014. Justice Tunoi denies the allegations and says that he's willing to face the tribunal to prove the allegations are not true. Mr Kidero, who became governor in March 2013, has also denied that he paid a bribe to influence the ruling. In Kenya, Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has been complaining openly about corruption being rife in the judiciary. But across the border in Tanzania, the president himself is the one leading the charge. A few days ago, President John Magufuli, who has declared an all-out war against corruption, attacked Tanzania's judicial system, accusing the courts of laziness, bureaucracy and corruption. "I'm worried that even the people I'm firing because of corruption will easily secure freedom despite watertight evidence against them," the president said. In Kenya, many argue that whatever the outcome of the tribunal over bribery allegations against Justice Tunoi, the image of the judiciary will be tarred. In 2012, the country's deputy Chief Justice, Nancy Baraza chose to resign after a tribunal recommended her removal from office "for gross misconduct" over an alleged assault. Ms Baraza was accused of assaulting a security guard at a shopping mall in Nairobi on New Year's Eve. She denied the allegations, which were never tested in a court of law. In this case, Justice Tunoi has opted not to resign, but to face his accuser at the tribunal. Depending on the outcome, the tribunal could have serious implications for the Kenyan judiciary. Already, the Justice Tunoi saga has taken on a political aspect. Joseph Warungu: "The integrity and reputation of the supreme court is critical to political stability in Kenya." Some voices in the opposition see the affair as an attempt to weaken key institutions of the state, ahead of general elections in 2017. They argue that if the results of next year's elections are contested, as happened in the 2013 election, it will be the supreme court that will have the final say on who becomes president. In 2013, the court ruled in favour of President Uhuru Kenyatta, after a petition challenging his victory that was filed by his rival, Raila Odinga. So, the integrity and reputation of the supreme court is critical to political stability in Kenya. Luckily for Tanzania's John Magufuli, he is free from such election fever. He's only been in office for three months and so has no fear about shaking up the judicial system. Mr Magufuli made it very clear in a speech to judges, magistrates and advocates that he would not interfere with the independence of the judiciary. But his sharp criticism of the judicial system has sent a signal to that no one will be immune to the reforms he is pursuing in other key sectors of the country. He also said that he wants money from the courts. If they processed cases quickly and collected fines efficiently, he said, there would be enough to fund the judiciary properly, and pay for other priorities of his administration. If Mr Magufuli has his way, the days of judges who receive bribes or delay cases unnecessarily will be numbered. But due to the country's separation of powers he can't jump in and personally kick out the learned folks. He has to rely on the chief justice for that. Meanwhile in Kenya, the country's highest court risks being dragged through the mud, if Justice Tunoi goes through with his plan to face the tribunal. In fact, the very future of the supreme court could be thrown into doubt if the tribunal were to establish that Justice Tunoi - one of its seven members - had received a bribe. In Kenya, Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has been a big a champion of reforms in the judiciary, but much to his frustration, he's now learnt that the wheels of justice are designed for the marathon, not the sprint. And it seems, sometimes the wheels need oiling.

It uses an average value for properties after considering components such as location and size. The survey is based on its own mortgage lending which represents about 13% of the market. A survey by the Halifax, now part of Lloyds Banking Group, is published a few days later. Lloyds is the biggest mortgage lender in the UK with 20% of the market and, like the Nationwide, uses its own home loan data. Figures from the Land Registry are widely considered to be the most robust but are published much later than the lenders' data. It calculates the price change for properties that have sold multiple times since 1995. This survey only covers England and Wales. A survey is of house prices in Scotland is published by the Registers of Scotland, using a simple average of house prices. The Land and Property Services assisted by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency produces a quarterly house price index in Northern Ireland. The official UK statistical authority - the Office for National Statistics - is another well-regarded survey, used for reference by government. It offers a UK-wide regional breakdown. It draws on data from the regulated mortgage survey by the Council of Mortgage Lenders, so excludes cash buyers of property. Housing market sentiment is reflected in the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) survey of some of its members. Various other surveys include a Hometrack review of house prices in UK cities, and a Rightmove survey of asking prices. The map was constructed using data from Europe’s current Swarm mission, combined with legacy information from a forerunner satellite called Champ. Variations as small as 250km across are detectable. Clearly seen are the "stripes" of magnetism moving away from mid-ocean ridges - the places on the planet where new crust is constantly produced. This pattern - the consequence of periodic changes in Earth's polarity being locked into the minerals of cooling volcanic rock - was one of the key pieces of evidence for the theory of plate tectonics. On land, the signal tends to reflect the composition and thickness of the different rock layers that make up the continents. Generally speaking, younger crust will be thinner and have a low content in magnetic minerals. Whereas, the old cratons, those stable interior sections of continents, will tend to be thicker and have a higher magnetic mineral content. Detecting any of this from orbit is a challenge because the signals are dwarfed by that part of the global magnetic field coming from the dynamo - the movement of liquid iron in the Earth's outer core. Stand on the surface of the planet and the intensity of the global field may be between 25,000 and 65,000 nanoTeslas (a fridge magnet is a thousand times stronger). "Again it depends where you are but the lithospheric signal is well below 100nT, even 50nT, on average," explained Nils Olsen from the Technical University of Denmark and one of the scientists who created the new space map. "But we have certain regions where it can reach up to 2,000nT, and one of these regions is the Bangui anomaly in western Africa," he told BBC News. This sharp signal in the Central African Republic is the possible impact site of a large iron asteroid more than 500 million years ago. Another high intensity region in the crust is the famous Kursk anomaly in central Russia where substantial reserves of iron ore have been mined. The German Champ spacecraft measured Earth's magnetic field from orbit between 2000 and 2010. It was succeeded in 2013 by the Swarm trio of satellites operated by the European Space Agency (Esa). Champ was lower in the sky than Swarm is currently, and so found it easier to detect the lithospheric magnetism. However, the sophistication of the new mission and the subtle differences the newer satellites can sense in side-by-side observations mean further detail still can be extracted from the data. Champ alone was getting a resolution of 300-330km, so the combined model is a big step forward. Our very best global view of crustal magnetism is the World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM), which was put together by scientists over many years, and includes much high-resolution aero- and ship-borne measurements. But the WDMAM would be very patchy if it did not also include space data, said Mike Purucker from the US space agency. "The World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map is a 5km grid at 5km altitude around the world. The longwave component is provided by satellite observations and the shorter wavelengths by aero and marine surveys. "[The satellite data] defines better the magnetic field under the auroral ovals where it has been very difficult to separate internal from external fields," he told the BBC. Future versions of the WDMAM will now make use of the updated Champ/Swarm view. Having maps of crustal magnetism is important for investigating the geological history of Earth and for understanding the distribution of commercially important mineral resources, says Kathy Whaler from Edinburgh University, UK. "[The new Swarm/Champ] model should mean estimates to the depth at which magnetisation is lost are better. "Our assumption is this is where the temperature reaches the Curie point. There has previously been a suggestion that this is deeper in some subduction regions, as well as possibly over old, thick, stable cratons, for example. "We should be able to estimate these depths as a function of position on the surface more accurately, and thereby understand some of the large-scale tectonics better." Swarm itself is trying to provide greater insights on all of the different contributors to the global magnetic field. As well as the rocks and that dominant signal coming from the swirling convection of molten iron in the core, there are other inputs pulling on the needle of every compass. These include the magnetism generated by electric fields high above the Earth, and even a very subtle effect derived from the movement of salt water ocean currents. Long-term observations will tease apart the size of each contribution and how it varies through time. "The Bravo satellite is still at slightly above 500km and the Alpha and Charlie satellites are at 443km, roughly. So we are still at a good altitude,†Nominated for the Brits critics' choice award and the BBC Sound of 2016, the singer has a knack for achingly beautiful ballads that tug at the heartstrings. Songs like Let It Out and Say It Again have earned her more than 50 million streams on Spotify - and top 10 singles around the world (although not at home, thanks to the current state of the UK singles chart). Born Sophie Frances Cooke in Berkshire, she was an aspiring violinist when her teacher sent her to see a film composer for career advice. On a whim, she played him a pop song she'd written for fun - and moved him to tears. "It was a bit awkward," she recalls. "I was like, 'Are you ok?' and he said, 'Yeah. But you need to do that. You have to do that for the rest of your life." She took his advice - choosing to attend the pop-focussed Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts instead of her original choice, the Birmingham Conservatoire. By the time she reached her third year of studies, she'd already been signed by a record label and moved to London. Her debut album, Things I've Never Said, comes out this week. A warm and wistful collection of perfectly-crafted piano pop, it has already won the singer comparisons to Adele and Carole King. Meanwhile, her single Grow has been selected to soundtrack a new campaign by Refuge, the charity supporting female victims of domestic violence. The 23-year-old sat down to tell the BBC about that video; the perks of fame; and what it's like to get school lessons from Paul McCartney. Hello Frances... Or should I call you Sophie? I'm Sophie to my family and friends - but I once thought, "If I'm going to be an artist, my name's got to look good on a piece of paper". Sophie is very curly, it looks very young, whereas Frances is a lot more angular. So it just kind of stuck. But then up until the age of 16, everyone called me Cookie. So anything goes. It's been three years since your first single - you must be relieved the album is finally out? I'm so excited. It's definitely been a while. I wrote some of these songs when I was 18 or 19, and so they've literally been with me for five years. It's unusual for people to stay fond of the songs they wrote in their teens. Actually, at the time, I didn't think much of them! But they made it through all the label cuts and slashes. They stood the test of time. What are the oldest ones on there? I wrote Drifting and Sublime in my room at LIPA - the performing arts school up in Liverpool. That's the one that Paul McCartney founded, right? Did he ever show up? A couple of times. He'd come in to do little Q&As. He was really nice, if you saw him walking past, you could just say "hi" and he was always really sweet. What's the best advice you got from him? He said that when he and John [Lennon] were writing, they didn't have anything to record what they were doing… Whereas now, if I'm writing in a session, I've got my phone there recording everything. And so if I forget something I can go back and find it. But he said, "We didn't have that luxury. So if we forgot something, it wasn't good enough and we didn't use it." I was like, "Oh my God, that's so true." Because if you've written something and 10 minutes later you don't remember it, then it's not good enough. Do you stick to that advice even now? No, because my memory's terrible! One of the first songs you released was Grow... and that's now being used in a very powerful video for Refuge. It's amazing. It's about a woman called Melanie Clark, who had a terrible time, a really abusive partner, and she managed to get out of it by seeking help from Refuge. They've animated her story. It's basically about her feeling invisible until one woman, who represents Refuge, notices her for the first time. It's a campaign to encourage victims of domestic abuse to seek help. We want people to realise they are not alone. The original song isn't about domestic abuse at all. Were you surprised by how well the words and the images complement each other? It's weird how the lyrics make so much sense alongside the story. I just hope it will resonate with people all over the world. It's an amazing animation and everyone's done it for free. Would it be fair to say you've always wanted to play music? Absolutely. My best friend's parents were professional violinists. When I was about eight, I went round to her house, picked one up and fell in love with it. Then her dad taught me all the way up 'til I was about 16 or 17. What grade did you get? Eight. I absolutely loved it. What was your exam piece? I did a kind of a gypsy piece called Csardas. It's so fast - and it speeds up towards the end, as well. And then I started the piano when I was 10 - but I only got to grade six. I couldn't be bothered to do scales any more. Do you remember your first stage performance? I was three, dressed as an ice cream in a production of The Hungry Caterpillar at the Royal Festival Hall! And then throughout school, I was always on stage, playing violin or piano. And I played in the Berkshire Youth Orchestra. You sound like a high achiever. Were you good academically, too? I was quite lucky at school. I had this little charm - I could not do my homework and somehow get away with it. Everyone knew I worked so hard at music. I was doing stuff after school every day, so the teachers were quite lenient. And then you went to LIPA... Actually, I didn't get in the first time. They put me on their foundation course, which cost like 10 grand or something. My parents, bless them, scrambled together every penny we had and I worked at Waitrose trying to get money to go. How did you get signed? I put a song called Coming Up For Air on SoundCloud in early 2014. It was quite calculated - because at the time London Grammar were really big, so I thought, "OK, I'm going to write something like that, so all the blogs listen and pick up on it". Eventually, a few started writing about it and then Tom Robinson from 6 Music played it which was really cool. After that, we ended up having a meeting with [boutique record label] Kitsuné, and released a single. Don't Worry About Me was a big breakthrough for you. How did that come about? One of my friends was quite ill - and I wrote the song to say, "look after yourself and I'll be here for you". I wrote it really quickly. I was just getting off the bus on Kilburn High Road when I came up with the phrase, "I'll feel the fear for you, I'll cry the tears for you, don't worry about me." I ran home thinking, "I need to get to a piano quickly, I don't want to lose this." It's a very emotional performance. I think because I wrote it so quickly. I was thinking about my friend and the lyrics just came out. Don't Worry About Me has been played nine million times on Spotify. How do you wrap your head around that? I don't really. I always said that if I won the lottery, I'd be more excited by £100,000 than I would with £1m because I can't understand a million pounds. I've never seen that. I can't quantify it. Whereas a hundred grand, I can think, "ah, that's a really nice car". It's a weird period for music at the moment… You can have all those plays, and millions of people know your song, but it hasn't troubled the charts in the UK. It's a really weird time. In Belgium, Don't Worry About Me was in the top 20 for 10 weeks and that's mainly because in Belgium the singer-songwriter world is their Radio 1. In Australia, it hung around the chart for ages. In the UK, I've just come out at a really funny time. There's a weird limbo. But I'm so proud of my album. I know it's not going to sell 20 million copies but that's OK. I want to be an artist that's going to be around for 20 or 30 years. In a strange way, you're famous to the people who know you and nobody else. It's actually lovely because I can walk down the street and not be bothered. Apart from in John Lewis once, where the manager recognised me while I was buying a sofa. He was like, "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" and I thought, "Oh no, my card's been rejected" but he was like, "Can I get a picture with you?" And I think he paid for my sofa because I took out finance and I haven't paid a penny yet. That's a proper celebrity discount! Totally. 100% off!

The National Audit Office says the government's plans for three million new apprenticeships in England by 2020 should be honed to meet skills gaps. The focus should be less on how many apprenticeships are created and more on which sector needs them, it adds. A minister said employers are creating training places to meet their needs. The report says the Department for Education (DfE), which was recently given overall responsibility for the apprenticeships programme, has not yet set out how the increase in apprenticeship numbers will lead to increased productivity. Presently, it relies on market mechanisms to attract the right apprenticeships to address skills gaps in the economy. The DfE is "therefore not directly involved in deciding where, or at what level, apprenticeships take place". For maximum benefit to the country, it adds, there needs to be "a clear rationale for how apprenticeships fit into the wider plan for productivity and growth". The report argues that "without this strategic underpinning, there is a clear risk that the drive to deliver greater numbers is delivered at the expense of delivering maximum value". The NAO report also stresses that the DfE has no way of checking how its programme is achieving its aims. "There are no success measures in terms of, for example, how the programme is impacting on skills levels, addressing skills gaps or improving achievement rates," it says. But the report does note that the programme is in the early stages of a transition, and that it has been suggested a new Institute for Apprenticeships may take on the role of measuring success. The NAO also highlights research comparing the earnings potential of successful apprentices and those following different paths. There are significant differences in earnings for apprentices across different sectors, but the report says that the most common apprenticeships do not command the biggest wages. Amyas Morse, head of the National Audit Office, said: "The Department for Education needs to chart and follow a course from having a lot of apprenticeships to having the right apprenticeships in order to help improve the UK's productivity and achieve value for money, in return for the costs of the programme." Petra Wilton of the Chartered Management Institute, said: "It's far too early to measure the impact of the new trailblazer apprenticeships - as apprentices on the new degree courses have not yet even finished their first year. "There's no doubt higher apprenticeship programmes make a positive economic contribution." Apprenticeships and Skills Minister Robert Halfon said: "Our apprenticeship reforms give young people a ladder of opportunity, provide employers with high quality apprentices and deliver real benefits to the economy. "We are giving employers more power than ever before to design apprenticeships that are rigorous, robust and world class. "The new Institute for Apprenticeships will ensure that apprenticeships are even more closely tailored to the needs of employers." Shadow Minister for Higher Education, Further Education, and Skills, Gordon Marsden said the report underlined what opposition MPs had been saying for months. "The government needs to put extra capacity urgently into delivering the strategy. "Robert Halfon needs to lobby his Treasury colleagues to give the apprenticeship agencies the funding to carry this programme through properly." Officials thought the bill would save £4.8m over four years but Lifelong Learning Minister Alun Davies said it is now expected to cost £8.2m. Plaid's Simon Thomas said the change suggested a "serious miscalculation". The Welsh Government said the bill is still expected to save more money than the existing system. Mr Davies outlined the changes in a letter to two assembly committees. It came after a charity disputed the Welsh Government's figure for the cost to councils of resolving disagreements over the provision of help for children with special educational needs. SNAP Cymru, which provides resolution services to most of Wales' councils, told AMs earlier this year that one of the figures which appeared in the bill's regulatory impact assessment had "no basis in reality". The proposed law's passage through the assembly has now been delayed until officials complete work to revise the figures - following a request from Mr Thomas to allow AMs to look at them again - with the bill not to return before the autumn. If passed, the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Bill will set up a single system - called an individual development plan - to replace "statements" which currently address the needs of an individual aged up to 25. It will also allow parents and young people to appeal to the special educational needs (SEN) tribunal, set to be renamed the Educational Tribunal for Wales. Originally, the impact assessment suggested it could save £4.8m over four years, with the savings outweighing the costs. Estimated savings were expected to be achieved from provisions in the bill which aim to remove the current adversarial nature of the statement process, the document said. But in his letter, Mr Davies said that estimated savings had fallen from £14m over four years to £3.6m. The overall cost of the bill had changed from a saving of £4.8m to a cost of £8.2m. He said the figures were revised after new figures from SNAP Cymru suggested a reduction in the number of cases of dispute resolution and the cost to local authorities of services for resolving disagreements. "Changes of this scale are disappointing," he added. SNAP Cymru had disputed a figure in the assessment that 20 out of 22 councils spent an average of £2.7m a year for 1,394 disagreements around wanting or having a statement. Chief executive director Denise Inger said she was "really pleased that the minister has listened". The Welsh Government already had to alert the children, young people and education committee to "errors" in the financial assessments over the bill in February, including an instance of "double counting". Mr Thomas, chairman of the finance committee, said: "The whole thing suggests they left the final calculations until far too late in the day when they didn't have sufficient background or discussions with people in the sector." A Welsh Government spokesman said the bill will "support tens of thousands of children and young people with additional learning needs in Wales, by helping them realise their potential". "In the light of revised financial information received from SNAP Cymru during stage one of scrutiny, a programme of work is now underway to revise the Bill's regulatory impact assessment," he said. "These changes do not lead to an increase in the cost of running the new system. The new system is still expected to cost less than the current SEN system." How often have you heard that phrase? There is probably an event in our lives every week when, with the benefit of hindsight - the wisdom that comes from viewing actions after seeing the consequences - we think we shouldn't have done that or should have done it this way instead. The drink after work that means you miss the train; the text sent in anger that causes an even bigger upset; the short-cut that turns into a dead end. It's an entirely human reaction that we should look back at our decisions when they go wrong and say: "If only." But when it comes to life-changing incidents, is 20:20 vision after the event a fair way for official bodies to assess where fault lies? Has that process of re-examination gone too far? Or is it the only way we learn lessons for the future? These are issues that have concerned me over many years covering court cases, inquests and inquiries in which prison officers, police and security staff have had to defend and explain their actions. The bereaved rightly demand answers as to how their loved ones have died and the public has a right to know if someone has been killed because of neglect, misconduct or a deliberate, and illegal, act. But in some cases, particularly those of fatal shootings by police, decisions are scrutinised in the most extraordinary detail. Months, sometimes years, after a firearms incident, barristers will question an officer, their colleagues and witnesses about those few seconds, fractions of seconds even, when the judgment was made to pull the trigger. Those questions take place in the clinical setting of a courtroom, far removed from the pressure-laden environment in which that decision was made. Here is an extract from the five-hour questioning of the policeman who killed Mark Duggan, in Tottenham, north London, in August 2011 - the shooting which sparked riots in London that spread to other cities in England in the worst disorder for a generation. The officer, known only as V53, was being cross-examined by Leslie Thomas QC, for Mr Duggan's family, at the inquest into his death, two years on from the incident, and after V53 had given evidence at two linked criminal trials. V53 fired two shots at Mark Duggan in rapid succession. He was asked whether, based on reconstructive modelling that had been done, his account of which shot had been fired first was accurate: Thomas: Not only do you have the angle, the chest shot with the angle going downwards, but it's also going from right to left, do you follow? V53: Yes, I do follow, sir, yes. Thomas: Which would suggest that when Mark Duggan was shot in the chest, he was at an angle facing towards where the minicab is. He would have been facing towards the minicab; do you follow? V53: Sorry, sir, I appreciate your movements but whereabouts are you saying Mark Duggan would have been standing, with his back to the minicab? Thomas: You are standing where you are standing - imagine you are you, Mark Duggan is in front of you, the minicab would be to the left of Mark Duggan, to your right? V53: Yes. Thomas: What I'm saying is, for the bullet to have entered the right-hand side and to have slightly come out on the left-hand side he would have had to have been tilted towards the minicab; do you follow? V53: I do follow, yes, sir. Thomas: That's not what you say happened, is it? V53: No, sir, it's not. Thomas: You see, I'm going to suggest the science doesn't support your account at all. V53: OK At the end of the 13-week inquest, the jury concluded that Mark Duggan had been "lawfully killed". John Tully, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said at the time: "Firearms officers are armed and trained to deal with the most serious threat to our society from criminals. "They often have to make split-second decisions in order to protect themselves or the public in difficult circumstances. "Their decisions are then scrutinised during a court processes (sic) which looks at the situation with the luxury of hindsight." For some, though, it is not a luxury - it's a necessity: the only way to understand where mistakes have been made, hold people to account and ensure poor practice is changed. Deborah Coles, co-director of Inquest, a charity that supports the families of those who have died in custody, including the Duggan family, says hindsight helps facilitate the rigorous probing of the actions of people whose duty it is to keep us safe. "It's fundamental: if you don't look back, how can you move forward?" she says. "These individuals have to be accountable for their conduct and you sign up to it when you take on that role." According to Ms Coles, the problem with using hindsight arises when investigations into deaths at the hands of the state aren't put into the wider social and political context of resources and work pressures. The findings shouldn't be "isolated from the reality of the environment in which people are working", she says. For Mike Tongue, the former Chief Constable of Gwent Police, the danger of hindsight comes with examining decisions in very old cases, when policing standards, attitudes and training were different to the present day, though he believes the reviewing bodies generally get the balance right. He acknowledges, however, the strain that interrogation can put on officers who make "life and death decisions". "It is difficult for firearm officers. They know their decisions will be pored over and reviewed. "I feel sympathy for these people, when people are put under very, very stressful circumstances." But Mr Tongue, who was once the policing lead in England and Wales on firearms and public order, believes hindsight has enabled important improvements to be made in police procedures, for example the use by officers of potentially dangerous techniques to restrain suspects. In the absence of an alternative, hindsight remains the main tool for reviewing critical incidents - but we shouldn't forget that it has its imperfections. The killer whales are the same animals recently seen off Caithness. The group is known in Scotland as the Northern Isles community and moves between Iceland and Scotland to hunt and raise young. Pippa Low, of Findhorn-based North 58° Sea Adventures, photographed the orca in the firth earlier this week. She was guided to where they were by marine life observers Adele Sutherland and Alan Airey, who were documenting the orcas' behaviour from locations along the firth's coast, including Burghead. Ms Low said: "I had just got back to Findhorn Marina, cleaning up after a busy day on the water, when I got a call from Alan Airey to say there were orca in the firth. "So we squeezed out of Findhorn on the low tide and headed across the firth towards Portmahomack Lighthouse - expertly directed by Adele Sutherland, Alan and the rest of the team. "We encountered the pod at approximately 8pm, seven miles north-west of Findhorn." She added: "The pod has been identified by the Icelandic Orca Project as a pod which winters in Iceland. "Individual identification of each animal is still being confirmed. However, this is the furthest south that these particular whales have ever been recorded by the research group, which makes it an even more interesting sighting." Kathy James, sightings officer with conservation charity Sea Watch, said: "Although this sighting is now the furthest south that individuals from the Icelandic population have been confirmed, other killer whale sightings have occurred in the Moray Firth and further south on many occasions. "It may well be that amongst these, were unidentified Iceland killer whales. One must remember that clear photographic evidence is required to recognise individual orcas." She added: "We don't know very much about the movements of killer whales around Britain. "Members of a pod that has numbered up to 14 can be seen annually around the Hebrides of west Scotland, mainly in summer." It is believed the 58-year-old may have fallen around two hours before police were called to Church Street, Tetbury, on Saturday evening. Firefighters helped to recover her body from the property, Gloucestershire Police said. The woman's death was not being treated as suspicious and the woman's next of kin and the coroner had been informed, the force added. Emma Jones, 40, was staying in a cottage overlooking the large 17th-century semi-detached house where the woman died. She said: "There were seven ambulances, two or three police cars, about two fire engines and a helicopter - I feel so sorry for her family." A neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said they had been looking out of the window at around 20:30 BST when they "saw the body come out in a private ambulance". "We were told that she was doing her gardening and she just fell. One moment she was gardening, the next minute gone," they said. "Just imagine how her family feel. Something like that, you wouldn't dream of happening." Skye Mountain Rescue Team and the Stornoway Coastguard helicopter were called out on Sunday evening. The helicopter crew picked up the man and airlifted him to safety. Lochaber and Skye Police tweeted: "Google maps on a phone with no charge, no map and a hopeful attitude are no mix for hills on Skye (or anywhere!) be prepared not rescued." Jonathan Mustard, from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, added: "Prepare and plan for your walks in the hills. Wear suitable clothing and footwear, ensure you carry suitable equipment like a map, GPS, a fully-charged mobile phone or a locator beacon and make sure you check the weather. "If you do get into difficulties, call 999 and ask for help." More than two decades after they first picked up a racket, both Andy, 29, and Jamie Murray, 30, will finish 2016 as world number one tennis players. After years of hard work and sacrifice, their proud mum Judy can look back on a job well done. And the former Strictly contestant has marked the historic occasion in the best way possible - by posting throwback pictures of her boys on Twitter. It's fair to say Judy has form for embarrassing her kids in public. Remember when she spilled the beans on Andy's hi-jinks at rugby practice? And she is not afraid to take to social media to share her pride in her sons' triumphs. She tweeted "Mission accomplished" alongside this image when her youngest son finally ousted Novak Djokovic as world number one. And when Jamie and Bruno Soares became the number one ranking doubles team, she proudly posted this snap. But our favourite tweets from the Murrays are those which show that, despite having two world-beating tennis players in the family, they are actually very normal. Andy's success has also prompted our team at BBC Scotland to delve into the archives. And a television package from 2001, when he was just 14, shows mum Judy was on hand back then vowing that "anything is possible" when it comes to Scotland producing a future tennis star. Judy Murray was not the only person to take to Twitter to celebrate Andy Murray's remarkable win at the ATP World Tour finals on Sunday. The victory over Serb Novak Djokovic cemented his position as world number one. Some members of his backroom team also shared snaps of their victory celebrations. Jamie Delgado, who shares coaching responsibilities with Ivan Lendl, said it had been an "incredible year" while his fitness coach Matt Little said "you get everything you deserve in life". Among others who tweeted their support and admiration were First Minster Nicola Sturgeon and patriotic fellow Scot, and former F1 driver, David Coulthard. Meanwhile businessman and The Apprentice star Lord Sugar led calls for a knighthood for the three times Grand Slam champion. And BBC Scotland's Tom English considered the prospects of a viable future for tennis in Scotland. She takes over from Liz Lochhead, whose tenure as national poet came to an end in January. Born in Edinburgh and brought up in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, Ms Kay was made an MBE in 2006. She now lives in Manchester. The Scots Makar position was established in 2004 by the Scottish Parliament with Edwin Morgan the first poet to receive the honour. The role will see Ms Kay, who is chancellor of Salford University, create new work and promote poetry throughout the country and encourage young people to engage with the art form. She said: "I'm absolutely delighted and honoured to have been chosen as Scotland's new makar and to follow in the footsteps of such really inspiring and wonderful poets as Edwin Morgan and Liz Lochhead. "I hope that I can do my country proud and do them proud. It's a really wonderful day for me, my family and everyone that loves me. It feels a little like a fairytale for me. "I was born in Edinburgh, adopted, and my mum said to me the other day 'who would have thought that that wee baby they brought home in a basket would end up being the makar'." She added: "Poetry has an extraordinary role to make a difference in the world. In these times we live in, in troubled times, poetry can lend a hand and be a player and I look forward to looking at all the different ways we can use poetry to develop Scotland's conversation, not just with itself but with the rest of the world. "It seems to me to also be a very, very exciting time to be in Scotland at the moment." The award-winning author was selected from a shortlist prepared by a panel of literary experts, convened by Dr Robyn Marsack, the director of the Scottish Poetry Library. The final selection was made by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and former first ministers Alex Salmond, Lord McConnell of Glenscorrodale and Henry McLeish. The first minister made the announcement at the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh where Ms Kay read one of her poems, "Between the Dee and the Don". Ms Sturgeon said: "Poetry is part of Scotland's culture and history, it celebrates our language and can evoke strong emotions and memories in all of us. "The role of the makar is to celebrate our poetic past, promote the poetry of today and produce new pieces of work that relate to significant events in our nation. "Jackie Kay's poems sometimes deal with challenging subjects, taken from her own life experiences, and she has a particular Scottish brand of gallus humour. "She is hugely respected, is known for her poignant and honest words, and is a role model for many, and I am delighted to name her as the new national poet for Scotland." Ms Kay, who was recently elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, will remain in the role of makar for five years. It denies Dr Jeffrey John's claim that he said he was rejected as Dr Barry Morgan's successor because he was gay. It is understood Dr John received the most electoral college votes but not the two-thirds needed by Church rules. The Bench of Bishops appointed the Rt Rev June Osborne after the initial process failed to select a candidate. Bishop Osborne - a friend of Dr John, who is the Dean of St Albans - was consecrated as 72nd Bishop of Llandaff at Brecon Cathedral on Saturday. "I'm sure we will go forward really confidently under my leadership," she told BBC Radio Wales. "I wasn't part of the early process and simply I don't know what went on. "The process is very clear and was followed meticulously. I'm confident - and it has been scrutinised - that the process was followed carefully and constitutionally. "I realise Jeffrey John won't be the only one disappointed to not be the Bishop of Llandaff and I hold Jeffrey in very high esteem, he is a good friend. "For myself, I can only say discernment has happened. The sense that this is God's call to me is very vivid to me. "I am the Bishop of Llandaff and the diocese will want to gather around that fact." "Being ordained a bishop into the Church in Wales is such an immense privilege and to be the Bishop of Llandaff even more so," she added. Her comments come as Dr John claims the contents of emails between two bishops show they were against his selection because of his sexuality. One, dated 8 February and published in the Church Times last week, read: "My instinct is that JJ's stance on the matter of same-gender relationships and his own situation might be un­­welcome to many in the Diocese... It would probably do the perception of the Bench, at home and elsewhere, no particular good either." Another sent on 17 February stated: "I will be meeting with my electors in Cardiff, probably on Mon­day evening, and expressing my an­xi­eties." In an interview with BBC Radio Cymru's Bwrw Golwg programme, Dr John said the emails "show how deceiving and hypocritical the whole process has been from start to finish". In response, a spokesman for the Church in Wales said: "We understand that the private correspondence of the Church in Wales' bishops concerning the process to elect a Bishop of Llandaff has again been put into the public domain by others. "We are satisfied that the entire process of electing and then appointing the Bishop of Llandaff was carried out properly and fairly and will not be commenting further." Bishop Osborne is the Church in Wales' second female bishop appointment after Canon Joanna Penberthy was consecrated as Bishop of St Davids in January. She left her post of Dean of Salisbury after 13 years, where she became the first woman to become a dean at a medieval cathedral. The diocese of Llandaff serves most of Cardiff, the south Wales valleys and Vale of Glamorgan. Bishop Osborne will be enthroned at Llandaff Cathedral on 22 July. The Swans have two games left this season - away at West Ham and home to Manchester City - having already secured Premier League survival. Wales will prepare for Euro 2016 with a training camp in Portugal later in May. "Hopefully it's a chance to rest a few of the senior players, especially with the Euros in mind," said Swansea assistant coach Alan Curtis. "It's a chance for some of the younger players and some of the fringe players to come in. "Two tough games, West Ham and Manchester City, so you don't want to just throw the youngsters in and expose them." Swansea captain Williams is also Wales' skipper and played every minute of their successful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. Left-back Taylor played in nine of the 10 qualifiers, as he was rested for the final match against Andorra. The 27-year-old has made 39 appearances for club and country this season, while Williams has played 43 games in all competitions for the two sides. Wales' appearance at Euro 2016 will be their first in the finals stage of a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup. Media playback is not supported on this device Italy took a shock lead through Sofia Stefan's early try, but England gained control with four tries, plus two Emily Scarratt conversions, before half-time. Hooker Vicky Fleetwood completed her hat-trick before Italy fought back with two tries either side of a red card for England skipper Katy McLean. Poppy Cleall was also sin-binned, but England avoided a nervy finish to win. The favourites looked to be cruising towards an emphatic third win from three matches in this year's tournament, until some indiscipline after the break allowed the visitors to bring some respectability to the scoreline at Twickenham Stoop. World champions England, who have not won the Six Nations since 2012, move top of the table above Ireland who play France on Sunday. Few predicted anything other than an overwhelming win for the fully professional home side, the question seemingly being whether England could rack up more points than the 63-0 win against Wales in their previous game. They certainly did not expect the Azzurri, bottom of the table after losing to Wales and Ireland, to take an early lead when Stefan picked up a neat chip to finish. England levelled 10 minutes later when Kay Wilson touched down in the left corner, taking the lead shortly after with almost a carbon copy try from Amy Wilson Hardy in the opposite corner. After Italy second-rower Elisa Pillotti was shown a yellow card for a high tackle, England used their numerical advantage to run in two more tries through Fleetwood before half-time. England would have been confident of going close to the 11 tries scored against the Welsh when Fleetwood crossed again shortly after the restart. But Italy fought back as they carried on taking the game to the hosts. Skipper Sara Barattin finished off a chip and chase and, after McLean was dismissed for a dangerous tackle and Cleall was yellow-carded for a high challenge, full-back Manuela Furlan finished off a flowing move for Italy's third try. England hat-trick try-scorer Vicky Fleetwood: "It was amazing to get 80 minutes under my belt after coming back from injury and I can't thank my team-mates enough for getting me over the line. "It was down to the forwards grinding out the win and we stayed resilient to the end even though it didn't always go our way. "We stuck it out and we got the bonus-point win which we wanted." England head coach Simon Middleton: "I'm pleased we got the win and got the bonus-point win, but it was still frustrating. "We didn't get to where we wanted to get in our performance - but we dug in well and held our defensive shape in the final 10 minutes. "All credit to Italy, they were outstanding. " England: McKenna, Wilson Hardy, Scarratt, Burford, Wilson, Scott, Mason; Lucas, Fleetwood, Keates, Millar-Mills, Taylor, Matthews, Packer, Hunter. Replacements: Cokayne, Clark, Bern, Cleall, Noel-Smith, Hunt, Mclean, Reed. Italy: Furlan, Stefan, Sillari, Zangirolami, Magatti, Rigoni, Barattin; Ferrari, Bettoni, Gai, Pillotti, Trevisan, Cammarano, Locatelli, Giordano. Replacements: Cucchiella, Giacomoli, Ruzza, Este, Fedrighi, Arrighetti, Madia, Bonaldo. For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter.

Rescuers were called out more than 1,800 times in England and Wales last year - the fourth year figures have increased, according to Mountain Rescue England and Wales. In Wales, mountain rescue teams dealt with 422 - 23% - of those incidents. A campaign has now been launched to promote greater safety awareness. A checklist compiled by Ordnance Survey and Mountain Rescue England and Wales helps walkers to prepare for their trek. It emphasises the need to plan ahead, check weather conditions, wear the right kit and carry paper maps as well as GPS devices. John Grisdale, vice chair of Llanberis Mountain Rescue, said people needed to take responsibility for their own safety. His team covers Wales' tallest mountain, Snowdon, which attracts about 450,000 visitors a year, and last year volunteers were called out nearly 200 times, putting pressure on their family lives. "Usually it's a lack of preparation leading to us being called out or having poor footwear," said Mr Grisdale. "They often get themselves into difficult situations because of a lack of planning in advance. "Snowdon is perhaps prone to the day visitor who comes thinking that there are easy paths towards the summit. There's a cafe at the summit, there's a railway... these are unique features and [people think] it can't be a difficult mountain to get to the summit. "Unfortunately all mountains inevitably have some sort of danger." In April, Central Beacons Mountain Rescue - which covers the Brecon Beacons - said 2016 was the busiest year in its 54-year history, It has traditionally not sought power through elections, but looks to use its street muscle to change Bangladesh's traditional secular culture and politics through the imposition of what it believes are proper Islamic ways. The organisations in the Hefazat coalition are based at more than 25,000 madrassas, or religious schools, across Bangladesh. Teachers at these madrassas belong to these organisations and all students are brought out en masse to participate in street rallies and marches. Hefazat burst onto the scene in February following the killing of young blogger Rajib Haider. The murdered blogger and his associates had launched the Shahbag campaign to demand the death penalty for a political leader convicted of war crimes committed in 1971. Haider and other bloggers were subsequently accused by Islamists of being atheists who had written comments derogatory of Islam and its Prophet. They served notice on the governing Awami League by gathering half a million supporters in Dhaka on 6 April, where the main slogan was "hang the atheist bloggers". Since then Hefazat has launched a 13-point charter of demands. These include: The government of Sheikh Hasina has sought to treat Hefazat softly, and preferred to engage in negotiation. It sees Hefazat as less militant than the Jamaat-e-Islami, many of whose leaders are currently facing charges related to crimes against humanity committed in 1971. Hefazat also has theological disputes with Jamaat, although the latter has given all-out support to Hefazat in its current campaign. Hefazat's detractors see its activities as little more than a cover of support for Jamaat's often-violent campaign to derail the war crimes trials. Islamists say Hefazat is campaigning to "save Islam" in Bangladesh, but its opponents fear it will throw the country back into the dark ages. Some of the groups under the Hefazat banner played a key role in the mass demonstrations in 1994 which forced the feminist write Taslima Nasreen to seek asylum in Sweden. They have also been relentless in their campaign - so far unsuccessful - to have the Ahmadiyas (Islamic reformists) declared as "non-Muslims", as has been the case in Pakistan. But Pedro Pablo Kuczynski is set to become Peru's next president after winning a desperately close run-off against his bitter rival, Keiko Fujimori. Mr Kuczynski clinched 50.1% of the votes, beating his opponent by a razor-thin margin. Peruvians spent several days waiting for an official result from the election authorities, the slim gap between the candidates hovering around a mere 50,000 votes. A week before election day, Keiko Fujimori was riding high with a six-point lead over the former minister, who is best known to Peruvians simply by his initials: PPK. But just days before the polls opened, thousands of people marched through the centre of the capital, Lima, to protest against Ms Fujimori's candidacy. She is a divisive figure in a country that is still grappling with her father's controversial legacy. "We are here to stop Fujimori from repeating the corruption and crimes of her father," said Roxana, 55, a university lecturer who attended the march. Ms Fujimori's father, Alberto Fujimori, was president of Peru for 10 years in the 1990s. After fleeing to Japan and sending his resignation by fax in 2000, he is currently serving a 25-year sentence in a Peruvian prison for human rights abuses. But many in the country also revere him as the leader who defeated the notorious Maoist insurgent group, Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), in the 1990s. He is also credited with kick-starting the revival of the country's struggling economy. Despite her controversial father, Ms Fujimori had been the frontrunner for much of the race. Her tough stance on crime and tireless campaigning in rural areas attracted both committed fujimoristas, as supporters of her and her father are known, and new voters to her Fuerza Popular (Popular Force) party. In contrast, with his foreign surname and background as a World Bank executive, many people see Mr Kuczynski as being out of touch with ordinary Peruvians. "He is perceived as too old, too white and too connected to economic elites," said Steven Levitsky, a Peru expert and Professor of Government at Harvard University. A heavily criticised trip to the United States after the first round of voting only added to this image. But a chaotic final few weeks for Ms Fujimori's campaign sparked a dramatic comeback for the 77-year-old, who held dual Peruvian and US citizenship before giving up the latter in 2015. First, Joaquin Ramirez, a senior figure in Ms Fujimori's team was forced to step down after allegations emerged linking him to drug trafficking. Then her running mate, vice presidential candidate Jose Chlimper, was accused of handing doctored audio tapes aimed at clearing Mr Ramirez to the media. "The Fujimori campaign was hit by a series of very destructive events in the final days of this election. These undermined five years of her efforts to try to create a new image for her party. For so many Peruvians, this smacked of exactly the kind of manipulative behaviour that occurred on a daily basis under her father," said Prof Levitsky. For many Kuczynski voters, the former economist was the only alternative to a second President Fujimori in 30 years. "I had no option but to vote for Kuczynski. The Fujimori family has a dark past. This election was a choice between democracy and authoritarianism," said 69-year-old taxi driver Victor Rios. Such allegations about key members of Fujimori's team seem to have ruined her attempts to distance herself from her father's legacy. "This country realised that we can't endorse a president who was going to be surrounded by people implicated in corruption," said Gonzalo Cordova, 35, a member of a local anti-Fujimori activist group. As the momentum started to shift towards Mr Kuczynski, Veronika Mendoza also threw her support behind PPK. Ms Mendoza, a left-wing presidential candidate for the Frente Amplio (Broad Front), came third in the first round of the election. "To stop the advance of fujimorismo, the only option is to vote for Kuczynski," she announced just days before the election. Despite his narrow victory in the presidential race, Mr Kuczynski is not yet done battling fujimorismo. In legislative elections held in April, Ms Fujimori's Popular Force party won 73 out of 130 seats in Peru's Congress. Mr Kuczynski's party only holds 18 seats. There are also many Peruvians who are disappointed by Ms Fujimori's defeat. "I voted for Keiko because she was going to be tough on crime. I feel defrauded by this result. It's the same politics as always," said Luz Rojas, 52, a food stall owner in Lima's San Borja neighbourhood. While Mr Kuczynski campaigned on a platform of change - even his party is called Peruvians for Change - analysts say his centre-right fiscal policies differ little from those of his rival. The greatest challenge for Peru's new president could well be the battle to win over a public that has grown increasingly disillusioned with politics in general. Even among the thousands of people who took to the streets to protests against fujimorismo, there seemed to be a certain sense of despondency. When asked about the current state of their country's politics, some simply shrugged their shoulders and said: "Es lo que hay (It is what it is)." The major security operation began at about 14:30 GMT on Monday at flats at John Street, close to Craigavon Bridge, and ended just after 20:00 GMT. Police said they had concerns for the welfare of a man who was in a distressed state in one of the flats but have confirmed that no weapons were found at the scene. Residents had to be moved from their homes for several hours. Specialist police units and other emergency services were involved in the operation. The closure of two of the city's main streets during rush hour also caused major traffic disruption. Ch Insp Tony Callaghan said: "This was a fluid and very delicate situation and we had real concerns for the man involved as well as the residents. "We deployed negotiators to the scene, they talked to the man throughout this operation because our priority was to make sure no harm came to anyone. The man gave himself up to police and was arrested, we searched the property and made sure everything was safe. "The investigation is ongoing, it is live, but we can say that the initial information which led to our response came from the individual involved." Sinn Féin Councillor Patricia Logue, who was at the scene on Monday, said she was relieved that nobody was hurt. "I spoke to some of those people who had to be moved from their homes and it was good to see that the council acted quickly to make sure there was temporary accommodation made available for any residents who needed it. "Thankfully it didn't go on too late into the night and I hope this man gets the care that he needs." David Mitchell was killed when his transit van was in collision with a lorry and a Skoda taxi, on the B5305 at Westward, near Wigton, on Friday. In a statement the family of the 53-year-old from Waverton, in Cumbria, said he would be "sorely missed". The lorry driver was unhurt and the taxi driver suffered minor injuries, Cumbria Police said. It is believed the HGV was reversing when it was struck by the van, which was then hit by the Skoda, police said. Mr Mitchell's family said: "It is with deepest sadness that David has been so tragically taken from us. "He was hard working, family-orientated and loved life and will be sorely missed by all that knew him."

Once she finally got to hospital, she waited a further 14 hours for treatment before dying of pneumonia. Marc Ashdown speaks to her daughter Helen Forde and Dr Mark Spencer, medical director for the NHS in London. The vote decides which 20 MPs get priority for their selected private members' bills and in what order. Those at the top of the list get more parliamentary debating time. Private members' bills are one of the few chances ordinary backbench MPs get to create legislation. The vast majority of new laws originate from the government of the day. Few private members' bills become law due to the lack of time in the Parliamentary calendar and the annual ballot is always fiercely contested. The deputy speaker of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, presided over the random draw, reading out the names of the top 20 MPs in reverse order. The higher the MP is in the order, the more likely it is that their proposed legislation will be debated in the Commons in the coming months. Mr Hoyle said 462 MPs applied. Conservative MPs Chris Heaton Harris was second on the list, followed by Conservative Sir Gerald Howarth and newly-elected Labour MP Julie Cooper. The first seven bills proposed normally get a full day's debate in the Commons at second reading, when the general principles of bills are considered. The 20 MPs on the list will see their bills get a first reading in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 June and will then be debated in the Commons on Fridays when the house is is sitting. The winner of last year's ballot was Lib Dem MP Andrew George, who lost his seat at the general election. He introduced an Affordable Homes Bill, which would have partially overturned housing benefit changes, dubbed the "bedroom tax" by critics, after consulting his constituents about what law they would like to see introduced. The legislation reached committee stage before being torpedoed by the coalition government, which refused to provide the money to enact it. Conservative MP James Wharton, who topped 2013's ballot, saw his bill enshrining in law a commitment to hold a referendum on whether the UK should be in the EU pass through the House of Commons, but fall after it ran out of time in the House of Lords. Here is the full top 20 in this year's ballot: 1. Rob Marris 2. Chris Heaton-Harris 3. Sir Gerald Howarth 4. Julie Cooper 5. Wendy Morton 6. Teresa Pearce 7. Mike Wood 8. Nick Thomas-Symonds 9. Ms Karen Buck 10. Simon Hoare 11. Dame Angela Watkinson 12. Lilian Greenwood 13. Sir William Cash 14. William Wragg 15. Heidi Allen 16. Vicky Foxcroft 17. Mark Pawsey 18. Mr Geoffrey Cox 19. James Cleverly 20. Caroline Ansell Media playback is not supported on this device The 40-year-old American extended his perfect record to 50-0 having come out of retirement for what could be boxing's most lucrative fight. After several heated exchanges in the build-up, Mayweather said the fighters gave the fans "what they wanted". "He is a tough competitor," he said. "He was a lot better than I thought. But I was the better man. "I guaranteed everybody this would not go the distance. Boxing's reputation was on the line." Mayweather, whose victory meant he surpassed Rocky Marciano's record of 49 wins without defeat, said he "looked forward to going down in the Hall of Fame". "This was my last fight, for sure," said the former five-weight world champion. "I chose the right dance partner. Conor McGregor, you are a hell of a champion. "A win is a win, no matter how you get it." McGregor, 29, was making his professional boxing debut at the T-Mobile Arena. The Irishman looked to be on top in the early rounds but Mayweather, who boasts 27 knockouts in his 50 victories, said he was unfazed. "Our gameplan was to take our time, go to him, let him shoot his shots early and then take him out down the stretch," he said. "We know in MMA he fights for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, he started to slow down." McGregor felt referee Robert Byrd stopped the fight "a bit early". He said: "I thought it was close. I get a little wobbly when I'm tired. "The referee could have let it keep going, let the man put me down. I am clear-headed." Mayweather first retired after beating Andre Berto in September 2015, claiming he had "nothing left to prove". But after beating McGregor, he said he was "not a fool", adding: "If I see an opportunity to make $300m (£232m) in 36 minutes, I will." However, he added: "This is my last one. You won't see me any more. Any guy that's calling me out, forget it. "I look forward to becoming a boxing trainer, helping fighters." Mayweather admitted the fight had gone on longer than he and father Floyd Sr had expected. "I did what I do best," he said. "I found a way to trap him and broke him down. "Me and my father, we don't always see eye to eye but we get great results. "My dad thought it would be the seventh or sixth. It took us a little longer than expected but we did what we said we would do." During the fight, Mayweather seemed angered by McGregor punching him to the back of his head. "I let the referee do his job," he said. "I'm not here to bash the referee but you know what was going on. A lot of rabbit punching. "In 21 years I had some great fights, some boring fights, but at the end of the day I will always be seen as a winner." A report in The Sun said the Devizes Lions May Fayre had fallen foul of council demands for an anti-terror plan. But Lions president Roger Stratton blamed bureaucracy for the decision. He also added he had "never witnessed" parsnip wine-induced drunkenness among visitors, despite the report's claims. The annual event on the May Day bank holiday attracts hundreds of visitors to the Wiltshire town centre. Wiltshire Council was reported by the newspaper as wanting the town square security strengthened after last month's attack in Westminster. Mr Stratton told the BBC the cancellation was caused by council red tape, not "far-fetched" fears about terrorism. "The problem is for many years we have filled in an event-management plan and this year we had an email back from the council running to three pages asking for more information about 'this and that'," he said. "For example, we have a trailer promoting local bands during the afternoon and we were asked how we would monitor the noise, to which my last response was 'I have an ear on one side and an ear on the other'." The Sun's article also added the only trouble in the fair's 20-plus year history had been "drinkers quaffing too much parsnip wine". Mr Stratton insisted: "I don't think there has been one case of drunkenness, as I far as I can recall." A Wiltshire Council spokesman said the Lions' plan "couldn't guarantee a safe event" but "would be happy to work with the club to help them plan the event in good time for future years". The winning ticket was bought in Merthyr Tydfil or Rhondda Cynon Taff for a one-off Team GB-inspired Lotto Medal Draw on 27 August 2016. It was one of 27 millionaires created to celebrate the number of gold medals won at the Rio Olympics. If it is not claimed, the cash will go to charity. Camelot said it has a code of RUBY 6863 3083. There was another £1m ticket purchased in the area - in the Euromillions UK Millionaire Maker draw which has four winners weekly, two on Tuesday and two on Friday. That one was successful in the 3 February draw and had a winning code of ZXPR 17675. The ticket's owner has until 2 August to come forward. "Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their winnings," said the National Lottery's Andy Carter. There was grumbling, there was pleading, and there were several sharp retorts. It was sometimes hard to remember that all the leaders who turned up here professed to want the same thing: an end to the chaos that increasingly marks the migration route through the Western Balkans. They don't agree on the way to do it. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who called the meeting, was hoping to rekindle a spirit of co-operation and trust that would allow countries to co-ordinate with each other - taking time to register new arrivals, and not simply waving them through to their next destination, or, as Slovenia has put it, "dumping" them on their border. The pressure is real: 9,000 people a day have been crossing into Greece. And on Sunday alone, the government of Slovenia - a country of two million - said 15,000 people arrived at their border. Without agreeing concrete steps soon, its Prime Minister Miro Cerar said Europe "will start to fall apart". It's already splintering. Deep rifts have opened up in the region, as the number of migrants has increased, and Mr Juncker's new proposals to strengthen Schengen's external borders in Greece and Slovenia play into national fears, as countries further along the route fear being turned into buffer zones. In the story of Europe's migrant crisis, one nation's protection becomes another nation's problem. In the end, he got a watered-down version of the co-operation he'd been hoping for: a commitment from countries to inform their neighbours before sending migrants and refugees their way, and to make an effort to process them properly. In return, he promised extra border police for Greece and Slovenia, and 100,000 new places at reception centres along the West Balkans route. Even before the meeting began, Croatia's Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic labelled the plan "unrealistic", drafted by someone "who had just woken up from a months-long sleep". The solution, he said, lay in Turkey and Greece. It's a sentiment echoed by many of the leaders here - that without action from Turkey in stemming the number of people crossing its border into Greece, anything else is just tinkering around the edges. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, acknowledged that the meeting was about managing the situation rather than tackling the root cause; any real solution, she said, would have to involve Ankara. So was it all worth it? The Serbian Prime Minister, Aleksander Vucic, summed it up. One of the optimists going in to the meeting, he was the first to speak after it broke up. Standing slack-limbed in front of the microphone, he told waiting reporters that the agreement would not be "immediately helpful". We're looking at "small steps," he said. "Hopefully, step by step, things will get a bit better." The influx of migrants into southern Europe has escalated, driven by the wars in Syria and Iraq, as well as conflict in many parts of Africa. More than 150,000 have arrived this year - far more than in the first half of last year. The EU is struggling with shifting migration patterns, creating particular problems for individual countries. How are they coping? For months Italy has been on the frontline of the crisis, as boatloads of desperate migrants risk their lives trying to reach Lampedusa or Sicily. Last year Italy controversially reduced its naval patrols off war-torn Libya, telling its EU partners that they must contribute to efforts to stop the migrant boats coming. After hundreds of migrants drowned off Lampedusa this year, the EU agreed to launch a joint naval operation to rescue migrants in distress. But aid agencies say patrols ought to cover a wide area on the high seas - not just the EU's territorial waters. Italy says its EU partners must also share the burden of housing migrants and processing asylum claims. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi voiced anger at East European leaders who rejected an EU plan for mandatory quotas to distribute migrants across the 28-nation bloc. Recently France blocked hundreds of migrants at Ventimiglia, on the Italian border. Many migrants staying at makeshift camps in Italy are desperate to move on to northern Europe. The boatloads of migrants heading for Greek islands have increased sharply this year. Lesvos is a particular pressure point. Many of the migrants are Syrians, and many of them will be entitled to refugee status, having fled the civil war. But Greece's reception centres are overcrowded and some are in a deplorable state. Heavily indebted Greece, already unable to pay its bills, cannot cope with the influx. It has a massive backlog of asylum claims to process. There is much hostility in Greece towards non-EU migrants, and many of them quickly try to move north via the Balkans to reach other EU countries. In the current economic crisis many Greeks fear competition from foreigners for scarce jobs. In recent years France has sent many poor Roma (Gypsies) back to Romania and Bulgaria, after they entered France illegally. But now the French focus is on the growing numbers of migrants entering Europe from the Mediterranean. They include many sub-Saharan Africans, some of whom have camped out on the streets of Paris. The latest pressure point is Calais, where about 3,000 irregular migrants are sleeping rough, getting little local help. They want to get to the UK - and pictures of them jumping on to UK-bound lorries triggered fresh British criticism of lax security at the French port. France says the UK must provide more help to solve the Calais crisis. 153,000 migrants crossed into Europe so far this year 149% increase from 2014 63,000 migrants reached Greece by sea 62,000 migrants reached Italy by sea 10,000 on Hungary/Serbia border in May The UK's emphasis is on breaking up the people-smuggling networks - trying to tackle the problem before the migrants turn up in Europe. UK politicians point out that the UK spends more than many other EU countries on development aid, which can help stem the flow of economic migrants from poor countries. The UK and some other EU countries also want stronger EU efforts to send failed asylum seekers back. Last year the rate for sending migrants back was just 39%. But the British debate has tended to focus on the Conservatives' ambition to reduce immigration from EU countries. The government wants to tighten the rules on migrants' social benefits, as a disincentive for would-be immigrants from the EU. The UK is involved in the Mediterranean naval operation, but has opted out of the EU plan to relocate 40,000 asylum seekers from overcrowded migrant centres in Italy and Greece. Germany has more asylum seekers than any other EU country. Its strong economy is a magnet for migrants desperate to start a new life. But like other EU countries, Germany wants much better screening of migrants, to determine who has the skills that the German economy needs. The birth rate in Germany, as in Italy, is low - so both countries will need immigrants to fill labour market gaps in future. Germany has a tradition of welcoming migrants - after all, Turks, Yugoslavs and some other nationalities contributed greatly to Germany's post-war economic boom. Germany and Austria support the EU plan for resettling asylum seekers. That contrasts with the reluctance of most East European countries to take in more migrants. Germany has been the preferred destination of many Chechens, who fled Russia's bloody crackdown against separatist fighters. Partly the East Europeans are worried that they could see an influx from Ukraine, where fighting continues between government troops and pro-Russian rebels. But apart from Hungary and Bulgaria, the other eastern countries have relatively low rates of immigration. Tensions have risen between Hungary and neighbouring Austria recently, since Hungary announced that it would not take back migrants who had moved elsewhere in the EU. Hungary now says it is a temporary measure, because of a sudden influx - not a violation of the EU's Dublin Regulation. That rule says the country where a migrant first arrives is responsible for handling the migrant's asylum claim. This year Hungary has experienced a surge of migrants trying to enter from Serbia. It has announced plans to fence off the Serbian border. Many of Hungary's recent immigrants are escaping dire poverty in Kosovo, and many of their asylum claims are likely to be rejected. Hungary and Bulgaria are exempt from the new EU plan to relocate asylum-seekers across the EU. Bulgaria, like Hungary, says it cannot cope with any more, as its reception centres are overcrowded. The head of Venezuela's National Defence Council, Alexis López Ramírez, said he had resigned over President Nicolás Maduro's plans for a constituent assembly. The general said he did not agree with the way the assembly was convened and how its members would be selected. His resignation amid a political crisis has caused waves in Venezuela. While polls suggest that 80% of Venezuelans are unhappy with the way Mr Maduro runs the country, the military has so far expressed its loyalty to the president. Government critics have repeatedly tried to get the armed forces to switch sides. Most recently, jailed opposition leader Leopoldo López published a video message on Twitter calling on the military to rebel. But so far there has been very limited dissent within the armed forces. When news of the renunciation of Gen López filtered through on Monday, speculation therefore was at fever pitch about what had triggered it. On Tuesday, he broke his silence and published a letter on Twitter [in Spanish] in which he stated his "appreciation, gratitude and friendship for President Nicolás Maduro" before writing that the reason for his renunciation was due to "my disagreement with the procedure used to convene and elect the constituent assembly". President Maduro first announced plans to create a citizen's assembly to rewrite the constitution on 1 May. The move has been heavily criticised by the opposition, which says it is an attempt by the president to increase his powers by sidestepping the opposition-controlled National Assembly. But there has also been criticism from some "Chavistas", people loyal to Mr Maduro's mentor and predecessor in office, Hugo Chávez. They say there is no need to change the constitution, which was drawn up and passed under President Chávez in 1999. President Maduro argues that the constituent assembly will "bring peace" to Venezuela, where more than 60 people have been killed in protest-related violence since 1 April. The president says a new constitution will also enshrine some of the social programmes Mr Chávez introduced and prevent them from being abolished should a new government come in. There is also disagreement over whether the way the assembly was convened was legal, with some saying the president should have held a referendum. However, a legal challenge filed by the chief prosecutor has been dismissed by the Supreme Court, which critics say is stacked with supporters of President Maduro. Opposition politicians have called on Venezuelans to further increase the pressure on the government by stepping up their protests. Tanveer Ahmed, from Bradford in Yorkshire, attacked Asad Shah outside his store in the Shawlands area on 24 March. Mr Shah later died in hospital. The 40-year-old was stabbed after publishing hundreds of videos about his spiritual beliefs online. Mr Shah was an Ahmadiyya, a group known for its peaceful interfaith concerns. Ahmed said he had "disrespected" Islam. He pled guilty to the murder at a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow. Sentence was deferred until 9 August and Ahmed was remanded in custody. The judge, Lady Rae, said he would face a very lengthy period of imprisonment. She told Ahmed: "This was a truly despicable crime, motivated, it seems, by your sense of offence at a man's expression of his religious beliefs, which differ from yours. "Let me be clear - there's no justification whatsoever for what you did." The court heard Ahmed, a cab driver, was in Glasgow a couple of days before the murder with a friend who knew Mr Shah and who showed Ahmed Mr Shah's Facebook page. The shopkeeper had uploaded hundreds of videos about his spiritual beliefs to Facebook and YouTube, most of which were filmed behind the counter of his shop. The court was told Mr Shah had posted some videos which could be seen as him claiming that he was a prophet. Advocate depute Iain McSporran, prosecuting, said: "The accused's consistent and repeated account as to his motivation for murdering Asad Shah was that Shah claimed to be a prophet, which so offended his feelings and his faith that he had to kill him." Ahmed, a Sunni Muslim, returned to Bradford but then drove to Glasgow on the day of the murder. On the journey, he watched online footage of Mr Shah and said: "Listen to this guy, something needs to be done, it needs nipped in the bud." He arrived at the shop at about 21:00 where Mr Shah was working with an assistant, Stephen McFadyen. After walking around the shop, Ahmed approached the counter and began speaking to Mr Shah. Mr McSporran said: "The accused having apparently not received the response he was looking for, reaches into the robes he is wearing and removes a knife which which he attacks Asad Shah, moving behind the counter to do so. "Stephen McFadyen, approaches and attempts to assist but the incident is fast moving and he is unable to prevent the attack, involving repeated stab wounds aimed at the head and upper body, continuing. "Asad Shah attempted to flee his assailant and moved outside the shop but the accused kept hold of him and continued striking him with the knife." Mr Shah was taken to hospital in Glasgow, but despite CPR and surgery he could not be saved and was pronounced dead at about 22:00. He suffered multiple broken bones and the base of his skull was fragmented in a way more commonly seen in victims of road traffic accidents, with "numerous powerful blows" to his head and back, the court heard. To many in Pakistan, Mumtaz Qadri was a cold-blooded murderer. But to the tens of thousands of his supporters he was a hero who defended Islam and its prophet. Mumtaz Qadri was hanged in February for killing the governor of Punjab Salman Taseer in 2011. Mr Taseer had spoken out against the country's blasphemy law. Riots broke out after Qadri's funeral with many vowing to carry on the cause. One banner said: "We're all Mumtaz Qadri". I met Qadri's brother, Dilpazeer Awan, in their family home in Rawalpindi. He said Tanveer Ahmed was one of his brother's biggest supporters. I asked him if he thought he killed Asad Shah because his brother inspired him. He told me: "Yes no doubt he was very much impressed by Mumtaz, he used to send him messages in jail. Let me tell you it's only Mumtaz Qadri's body which was hanged but his spirit still lives on." Blasphemy is a capital crime here in Pakistan and while no one has ever been executed for it, dozens have been killed before their cases even made it to court. Human rights groups have long called for a change of the law which they say is used mainly against religious minorities. But it's a very sensitive and often life threatening subject that many people especially politicians prefer to avoid. Mr McSporran said the nature of the attack was such that "only death could possibly have been the intended outcome". Ahmed then calmly walked to a bus shelter and sat "head bowed as if in prayer" and made no attempt to escape. He told the police officers who found him: "I respect what you do and I have nothing against you and so I am not going to hurt you. "I have broken the law and appreciate how you are treating me." Ahmadiyya Muslims are persecuted in many parts of the world and are banned by the constitution of Pakistan from referring to themselves as Muslims. Mr Shah was born in Rabwah, Pakistan, but moved to Scotland after he and his family were persecuted for their faith. They were granted asylum by the UK. On the day Mr Shah died, he had posted a message on Facebook which read: "Good Friday and a very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nationx." However, Mr McSporran stressed this specific post had no bearing on the crime. After being arrested, Ahmed released a statement through his lawyer saying he had killed Mr Shah as he had falsely claimed to be a prophet. The statement was immediately condemned by Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders, who said killing for "blasphemy" was "completely against the teachings of Islam". "We must not let the same mindset of hate and violence take root here in Glasgow, and for that matter, the UK and anywhere in the world," they added. The court heard Ahmed was not motivated by malice towards Ahmadiyya Muslims as a group, but by his offence at Mr Shah's comments. However, a victim statement from the shopkeeper's family - his wife, parents and six siblings - said they could no longer live normal lives and some intended to leave Scotland. His parents said: "We brought our children to this country to seek refuge from Pakistan in 1991 fleeing persecution, religious hatred, discrimination and a danger to our lives because we were Ahmadis. "We never thought that we could be in danger here. We feel imprisoned by our pain and suffering and we have little hope of ever having a normal life again. "Most of the family, unable to live with this turmoil, pain and fear, has taken a decision to leave Scotland forever." The murder of Mr Shah, who was well-known in the area, shocked the local community, with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon among those to pay their respects to him. Asst Ch Con Steve Johnson, from Police Scotland, said Mr Shah had been a "peaceful family man" who was well-liked in the community. He added: "Mr Shah's murder was the result of an extreme act of violence; an attack which was concluded within the space of four minutes. It is clear that the actions of Tanveer Ahmed were motivated by his religious beliefs. "There is a consensus across all of our communities that there is no place in Scotland for religious or cultural intolerance which generates crimes of hatred, intimidation or violence. Religious or cultural beliefs, no matter how strongly held, do not entitle anyone to commit murder or acts of aggression." The 21-year-old from Ipswich, who became the youngest ever winner in 2014, eased to the first set 10-5. Cambridge's Falkner, 37, responded by taking a 5-2 lead in the second set. But Rednall came back to claim the set 10-6 and deny Falkner what would have been a record fourth title. "Coming back here each year is an absolute pleasure," Rednall told BBC Sport. "It was an incredible game and it was what you hope for from a final." Betsi Cadwaladr's Simon Dean said it was due to "extreme difficulties" in recruiting doctors. He said it was a daily challenge to fill rotas. On Tuesday, the board will discuss downgrading units at either Glan Clwyd, Ysbyty Gwynedd or Wrexham Maelor hospitals. The health board favours making the doctor-led unit at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, a midwife-led unit. Mothers needing more complicated care will be transferred to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. Critics of the controversial proposal have claimed some expectant mothers would be at greater risk from having to travel further. The Betsi Cadwaladr board initially argued it did not have time to hold a public consultation on its decision because the changes had to be implemented urgently. However, campaigners challenged the decision in court and managers backed down. The consultation document which will be discussed on Tuesday also includes a proposal to maintain services as they are, but Mr Dean told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme that would not be safe. "Clearly if we thought things were safe as they were - we wouldn't be entering into consultation," he said. He said it was important to "recognise the warning signs that things are much more difficult before a tragic event happens. We're trying to manage risks in anticipatory way - looking at the things that could go wrong". If the decision is given the go ahead, the public will be invited to have its say. Mr Dean took over as interim chief executive after its previous boss stepped aside following the health minister's decision to put the board into "special measures" following a series of scandals. He said his priority has been to "rebuild the trust and confidence of the public and staff" and "create the conditions which staff could succeed". The traditional opening parade took marchers and several bands around the city's historic walls. Members of the Apprentice Boys then made their way to the Diamond for a wreath laying ceremony. After the ceremony there was a religious service in St Columb's Church of Ireland cathedral. A re-enactment of the Siege of Derry of 1689 was staged by a local drama group, before the main parade got under way on Saturday afternoon. About 8,000 Apprentice Boys and 145 bands participated in the demonstration. There was a visible police presence around the city centre. The memorial ceremony is held on the second Saturday in August each year, to commemorate the ending of the 105-day siege of the city in August 1689. The siege took place against the background of the deposed Catholic King James II's attempt to regain his crown from his Protestant son-in-law, King William III. Also known as William of Orange, or King Billy, the new monarch was supported by Protestants in Derry, who shut the gates of the walled city to keep out the advancing Jacobite army. Mr Mattis was briefing Nato allies on future strategy, amid reports the US will boost its military presence. His comments were in direct contrast to Nato's secretary-general, who said the withdrawal should have happened sooner. US troops reached 130,000 in 2011 but were drawn down, leaving the Afghan military in control at the end of 2014. There are now 13,500 Nato troops there. Mr Mattis was speaking at a press conference after meeting Nato defence ministers in Brussels. He said: "Looking back on it, it's pretty much a consensus that we may have pulled our troops out too rapidly, reduced the numbers a little too rapidly." However, Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg insisted it was right to end Nato's combat role in 2014, saying: "If anything, we should have done it before." Diplomatic and US sources have suggested the number of US troops could increase by between 3,000 and 5,000 to try to counter a resurgent Taliban and the presence of an Afghan branch of so-called Islamic State. Mr Mattis said: "I don't put timelines on war; war is a fundamentally unpredictable phenomenon. "The bottom line is that Nato has made a commitment to Afghanistan for freedom from fear and terror, and freedom from terror demands that you can't let this be undone." The conflict in Afghanistan has dragged on for 16 years, since the 9/11 attacks in the United States. At the end of 2014, Nato assumed the Resolute Support mission, helping train the Afghan military while handing over frontline combat duties. Mr Stoltenberg said there would be more Nato troops for Afghanistan but gave no precise figure and said they would not be in combat roles. UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon pledged 100 more troops on top of 500 already in Afghanistan. "We're in it for the long haul," he said. Afghanistan has been hit by numerous violent attacks in recent weeks, including a massive bomb attack in the capital, Kabul, that killed more than 150 people. It was a notable moment for Steve Paterson, part of a story that began with a £10,000 cash inducement before he fell into gambling, a drinking problem and now, a sense of having come out the other side to a place of serenity. "I've been at the highest level and now it's almost like I've returned to my roots," Paterson says. "That makes me happy." The arrival of Tommy Docherty in an expensive car in the small Moray village of Mostodloch in 1974 would have caught the attention of locals, although Paterson was already well known at home and beyond. He made his Scotland Under-18 debut while only 15 and after playing against England at Old Trafford his signature was widely chased. Media playback is not supported on this device Paterson was drawn to the history and romanticism of Manchester United, although he insisted on completing his education before moving south. By that time, he was already an enthusiastic gambler. "[It] began about a year before, when I got money from Man United," he says. "It was laid out in £10 notes in the middle of my living room and my mother and father - pretty working class, just managed to pay the rent and get a couple of screw tops on a Saturday and fags - couldn't cope with the sum of money and left it to me. "It was £10,000, a huge amount. I stuffed it in a big Bisto tin and kept it in my mother's wardrobe. I started to dip into it. "The club should have put it into a trust to get at the end of your contract, but it was a long time ago. And it would have been illegal. Back then, the top schoolboys were getting bunged, that was the norm, but I was naive and I'd have signed for nothing." The game's culture at the time offered no protection from his personal demons. At Old Trafford, the youth players spent their afternoons playing snooker or gambling. Attending the Wednesday afternoon drinking club was expected. "I fell into the bookie and racing gang," Paterson says ruefully. "If I had to change anything, it would be that." He left Old Trafford in 1980, with a move to Sheffield United eventually falling through because of an injury, followed by spells in Hong Kong, Australia and Japan, before a return to Moray, his "comfort blanket". Back home, Paterson ended up as player-manager of Elgin, embarking on the next chapter of his football career. "I couldn't do anything but win for the first 10 years of my [management] career, yet off the park I wasn't putting in anything," Paterson says. "I wasn't into the theory and science of the game. I had a good eye for a player." His finest hour and a half came at Celtic Park in February 2000, when he steered Inverness Caledonian Thistle to a 3-1 Scottish Cup victory over Celtic. At the time, Paterson was considered one of the most promising managers operating outside the top-flight, but the success was in spite of an increasingly chaotic personal life. "I got away with an awful lot of things at Inverness," Paterson says. "Some of my behaviour was shocking. I let a lot of people down, none more so than myself. "I was very much into gambling. I was very much into drinking. But I pulled off the football because you can put on a mask and function when inside you're in turmoil. "I was a runaway train, an accident waiting to happen and unfortunately it happened when I got the biggest job of my life." Paterson joined Aberdeen in December 2002, but within three months the addictions in his personal life finally spilled over into his professional one, and he failed to turn up for a game against Dundee following a night of heavy drinking. Aberdeen stood by him, but he was eventually sacked at the end of the 2003-04 season, and left Pittodrie in the boot of a car to avoid the waiting press. "I had a drink problem whereby I never knew when to stop," he says. "It's the biggest regret of my life and I firmly believe I should have been sacked right away. I've never been back to Pittodrie because I feel ashamed. "If [Aberdeen] had done a bit more research they would maybe have had second thoughts, but I was so successful and in days gone by, it was fairly common that a lot of managers would have a drink or gambling problem. "For the next five years I lost the plot, my behaviours escalated in terms of irresponsible drinking and gambling. I hit a few years of clinical depression." Paterson spent two months at the Sporting Chance clinic in 2008 and wrote a book about his life that was in many ways a confession. Even then, it took longer to fully cope with his addictions. Football, though, was a constant, with Paterson managing Forres Mechanics, Peterhead, Huntly, Formartine United and now Dufftown since leaving Aberdeen, combined with his job as a social worker. "I was very much into self-pity and I had loads of really bad character defects," he says. "It's only the last few years that I've grown a bit. When you're in the grip of an addiction, your emotional growth is stunted. "My life has been really good [now] and I feel at peace. I've changed a lot for the better. My ambitions and aims now all revolve around my family and friends and my partner. I'm in a good place. "I played for a wee village team called Fochabers and I'm now managing Dufftown, which is a lovely wee club. I've come a full circle." Listen to the full interview with Steve Paterson on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound on Thursday evening, from 18:30 BST. In those days, between 1995 and 2005, it was often a title decider. Everything was completely different about Sunday's game at Emirates Stadium, and it summed up where both teams are at right now. Media playback is not supported on this device It was a match between the teams in fifth and sixth place in the Premier League but it felt more like it was ninth versus 10th, in one of those dead rubbers you get at the end of the season. Yes, Arsenal won, to end United's long unbeaten run, but nobody really cared - including United manager Jose Mourinho. It was the first time Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has beaten him in a competitive game, at the 16th attempt and after 13 years of trying. But watching Mourinho afterwards, it was probably the first time in about six months that I have seen him relaxed and smiling. Media playback is not supported on this device It was a game that was clearly a nuisance for him, sandwiched between the two legs of United's Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo that he has made it obvious is his priority. So, for United, Sunday was just a case of survival - to get off that pitch without getting any more injuries - or at least that was how it looked. Arsenal were clearly short of confidence, and in a different way they were looking to survive the game too. They eventually worked out that United were not at full strength and they might be able to win, but for most of the first half they looked nervous, as if they were thinking 'let's not lose and have more fans protests after the game'. The Gunners might have got the three points but the way they did it did not make any sort of statement about how strong they are. Media playback is not supported on this device When I played for United against Arsenal, I always thought I was going into a situation that was totally out of my comfort zone. It was a matter of life and death, or it felt like it anyway. This time, Mourinho had been telling us for the past 10 days that his priority was the Celta Vigo tie. That completely knocked the stuffing out of the build-up and the game matched it - it was completely flat. I was watching it with former Arsenal defender Martin Keown in the Match of the Day 2 production office, and he agreed that the lack of atmosphere and intensity was the most disappointing thing. Even in the tunnel beforehand you saw everyone hugging and smiling, which would never have happened when Martin and I played. Our teams were at each other's throats most of the time - literally on a few occasions. There is a famous picture of me being throttled by Arsenal defender Lauren in September 2003 - in 'the battle of Old Trafford' - while a few weeks earlier in the Community Shield at the Millennium Stadium I was booked after only 27 seconds for a tackle on Patrick Vieira. Sunday was a million miles away from that kind of occasion. I tweeted during the game that it was like a testimonial, and it was certainly played at that kind of pace - which is what you would expect from a pre-season friendly between two Premier League teams played in the United States. It felt like a veterans game but if Martin and I were playing each other now, there would have been more sparks flying than there were at the Emirates. United's eggs are all in one basket now - for them, making the Champions League is all about winning the Europa League. It makes sense in lots of ways because, as well as looking like the easier route, it gets you straight into the group stage and you avoid starting the season early in the qualifying rounds, which you have to do if you finish fourth. If they do win the Europa League, then I think Mourinho has had a brilliant season. If not, then that is when the criticism will probably come his way. The pressure is on them for Thursday, when Celta Vigo come to Old Trafford, and it is a dangerous game to play, but I think Mourinho did the right thing with his team selection against the Gunners. Some of the players he rested conserved energy and the ones who came back from injury have got some playing time under their belts, which bolsters the squad a little bit. That sort of performance would not be acceptable from United in normal circumstances, and in general they need to improve when they go away to the top clubs. Looking at their performances in their 0-0 draws at Liverpool in October and at Manchester City last month, they did not offer enough of an attacking threat. I think United fans will expect far more in those games from the start of next season, especially because by then it will really be Mourinho's team. Arsenal have put themselves back in touch with the top four with Sunday's win but I don't think they will make it, from what I have seen of them recently. I think there is a big job in store for whoever is the Gunners' manager next season, and that is the key issue when you talk about their future. You cannot assess who Arsenal will buy in the summer until you know who is going to be in charge - if it is, say, Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone then it will be 10 warriors; if Wenger is still manager it will be 10 really nice and pretty footballers. In contrast, with United, you can predict that Mourinho is going to grab hold of that squad and say to his players that if they are not mentally tough enough, they will be out of the door. Three or four of the team that lost to Arsenal might not be at the club next season but you know there will be some big characters arriving in the dressing room. Mourinho is building a team that he can go to war with, and it will not be long until these kind of games are back to being the big battles we all remember. Phil Neville was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. The National Association of Mayors asked the federal government to offer added security to mayors "at risk". On Saturday, the mayor of the town of Pungabarato in southern Guerrero state was shot dead only hours after a mayor in southern Chiapas had been killed. Local officials are often targeted by criminal gangs in Mexico. The association asked the government "to prepare and put in place security protocols for mayors" and to investigate the killings. An armed gang ambushed the mayor of Pungabarato, Ambrosio Soto, on Saturday evening as he was travelling along the main motorway. The men blocked the motorway with lorries and opened fire on Mr Soto's car, killing him and his driver. Two weeks previously, Mr Soto had said on Twitter that he had been threatened "by organised crime" and that his cousin had been killed. "It's time to act, Mr President @EPN," he said addressing Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. "#TierraCaliente needs you." Tierra Caliente is the name given to the an area of Mexico State, Guerrero and Michoacan characterised by its hot temperatures. The area has seen a sharp increase in violence over the past years with drug gangs and vigilantes battling for control of the region. Mr Pena Nieto has said the area is "one of the greatest challenges" in terms of security. Local press reported that Mr Soto had received threats after he had refused to hand over part of his budget to a local drugs gang. Extortion is common in the region and many businesses are forced to hand money to gangs or self-styled vigilantes for "protection". Mr Soto had a police escort of two officers in a patrol car at the time of his killing. They were both wounded in the attack. The state governor of Guerrero said Mr Soto was also given protection by Guerrero state police, but that he had asked them to watch over his family while he travelled to a neighbouring town to attend to some personal business. His killing came just hours after that of the mayor of the town of San Juan Chamula, Domingo Lopez, and his deputy, Narciso Lunes, in southern Chiapas state. The two officials were holding a meeting with protesting residents in the main square of San Juan Chamula when unidentified gunmen opened fire. A total of four people were killed and a dozen injured. The motive behind the killing is not clear. Each petal represents a Scottish soldier who lost their life or was wounded during the 1917 conflict. The battle saw the greatest concentration of Scottish battalions of any during the World War One. The event included a commemorative service led by the Royal British Legion Scotland (Legion Scotland). Poppyscotland's head of fundraising, Gordon Michie, said: "The sight of thousands of poppy petals gently fluttering to earth was a dramatic and fitting way to mark the centenary of the Battle of Arras. "It was also a moment to remember those for whom the poppy is a symbol of hope today and to show our support for the Armed Forces community living in Scotland. "We were delighted so many were able to come along and witness the poignant spectacle of the Arras Petal Cascade." The Battle of Arras was fought in April and May 1917 to support a French offensive on the Aisne by diverting large numbers of German reserves to the north. Three Scottish infantry divisions took part in the assault and 44 of the 120 participating British infantry battalions were from Scottish regiments. The report by one of the government's own agencies, Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), found the creation of Enterprise Areas has had a "minimal" effect on employment since 2012. Even within the areas, there has been only a '"small" growth in employment, and that displaced jobs from elsewhere. Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the policy "continued to evolve". The report authors found that in nine out of 15 Enterprise Areas, no new employers had moved in and in others, new employers had already been planning to move in anyway. Many companies moved into Enterprise Areas without knowing they had that designation. There was no evidence of any inward investment into an Enterprise Area. Having heard from other public sector agencies and companies in the sectors targeted, HIE's report concluded: "There is a general impression that the financial incentives are lightweight, and would not be significant in larger companies' location decision". Enterprise Areas were a key element of the Scottish government economic strategy published in 2011. Fourteen areas were chosen the following year, and a 15th in 2013. In life sciences, these included sites in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Forres, Inverness and Irvine. In renewable energy, the areas were specific sites in Lewis, Orkney, Easter Ross and Caithness, as well as the ports of Dundee and Leith. In growth sectors of manufacturing, the policy drew in part of Glasgow and Prestwick, with Broxburn and Livingston in West Lothian. As they were based on important growing sectors of the economy, it was found that the designation of Enterprise Areas had a merely "limited" effect beyond existing work. The HIE review of the policy, covering all of Scotland, said that Enterprise Areas barely changed existing strategies for the sector or area. Promotion of the opportunities brought by the policy was found to be "minimal". About £300m of public sector investment had already been committed ahead of the choice of the 15 areas. Once designated, some areas - including Nigg in Easter Ross, and Scrabster in Caithness - got no further public sector funding. Eighteen companies together saved only about £100,000 per year from their business rates bills as a result of the policy, which was a "windfall" for some of them rather than an aid to investment. There was one example of a capital allowance being claimed, and that was for only £90,000. Skills Development Scotland, another Scottish government agency, should have helped with training and recruitment. But the review found no evidence of that happening, and some participating companies were unaware that it was meant to. On a more positive note, streamlining of planning decisions in Enterprise Areas was found to have been "successful". The report explains that constraints are placed on government support for industry by European state aid rules. The initiative also struggled due to a low appetite for private investment in the years following deep recession and constrained access to bank finance. There was also a big shortfall in the expected development of offshore renewable energy. The Enterprise Areas had been seen as one of the ways to build up Scotland as "the Saudi Arabia of renewable energy". But there has been only a low level of investment in on-shore manufacturing. HIE recommended that the Enterprise Areas be given a chance to continue for five more years, particularly to give more time for the marine energy sector to develop. It said there could be a change of focus to other sectors. Enterprise Areas did not feature in the updated Scottish government economic strategy, which was published earlier this year. Yet last September, the first minister visited BioCity in Lanarkshire, announcing it should be added to the areas covered. At the time, Ms Sturgeon was quoted saying: "Enterprise areas in Scotland at sites like Irvine and Edinburgh's Bioquarter are already doing a terrific job creating new economic opportunities, new partnerships with education and - most importantly - new jobs across the country." Following publication of the HIE report, Deputy First Minister John Swinney sought to find some positive messages, stressing that it was "a mid-term evaluation", showing how Enterprise Area status "complements wider support". He cited figures showing 48 companies that are located in Enterprise Areas, and employing 1,000 people. "This report provides valuable insight as this long-term policy continues to evolve," he said. Keith Towler said children wanted someone to listen to them and act on what they say. He said it was about "making sure you get the basics right". He made the comments following the suspected overdose of a teenager from Rhondda Cynon Taf whose mother said he could not cope with being bullied. Talking to BBC Radio Wales, but not specifically about 15-year-old Simon Brooks, Mr Towler said: "At the heart of all of this is about listening to children's complaints. "Sometimes we overlook the basics, that's absolutely true." Mr Towler believed adults sometimes "lose sight" of the fact children expect them listen to their fears "and act on what they say". "It's all about (children) feeling safe," he said. Mr Towler said the Welsh government's guidelines were good, but added: "Sometimes the systems can over-complicate things. "It's about making sure you get the basics right." The commissioner spoke after Simon Brooks, of Tonyrefail, died on Tuesday following a suspected overdose. His mother said her son left a goodbye message on his phone saying he been bullied. Julie Brooks said Simon had suffered bullying at both his current school, Y Pant, in Pontyclun, and former school. RCT council and the schools have been asked to respond to the allegations of bullying, but have not yet done so. The probe went into orbit around the inner-most world in March, and has been relaying a stream of data ever since. Its latest pictures from just a few hundred kilometres above the surface are expected to provide important new clues to the origin of the planet and its geological history. Nasa believes much of what we thought about Mercury will need to be revised. "We had many ideas about Mercury that were incomplete and ill-formed that came out of our three flybys with Messenger and the flybys in the 1970s by the first spacecraft to visit Mercury, Mariner 10," said Messenger principal investigator Sean Solomon of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, US. "Many of those ideas are having to be cast aside as we see orbital data for the first time. We are confirming a few theories but many others are being cast into the dustbin of science." Messenger has now returned more than 20,000 pictures, a great many at resolutions that finally allow scientists to begin a proper interpretation of surface features. This is particularly true of the polar regions, where previous imagery was poor or even absent. At the north pole, Messenger can discern a huge expanse of smooth plains some four million square kilometres in area - about half the size of the continental USA. "From our more detailed look at this beautiful large unit of smooth plains, we're seeing all kinds of evidence for volcanism and tectonic deformation," explained Brett Denevi, a mission scientist from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. "You can see 'ghost craters' that were impact craters that were later covered over by lava." Messenger went to Mercury to prove or disprove a number of cherished theories. One concerned a 20-year-old hypothesis, supported by radar observations from Earth, that suggested some polar craters might hide reserves of water-ice. On the face of it this seems an extraordinary proposition given that surface temperatures on Mercury, certainly at the equator, can exceed 400C - hot enough to melt lead. But without a thick atmosphere to trap heat, it is possible that permanently shadowed regions could stay cold enough to preserve ices for millions, if not billions, of years. Messenger has begun testing this theory by deploying a laser altimeter to map the shape of craters at the poles - with some encouraging results. Already it has found a depression that is deep enough and dark enough to have the right conditions. "Stay tuned," said Dr Solomon. "This is a very exciting hypothesis that has stayed with us for 20 years, and it has passed its first test with flying colours. "We look forward to results from our geochemical remote-sensing instruments - the neutron spectrometer, in particular - which will demonstrate whether or not the material at the poles is likely to be water-ice on the basis of excess hydrogen." Messenger's X-Ray Spectrometer (XRS) has been investigating the presence and abundance of different atomic elements in surface materials, and has established rapidly that the rocks have a distinct signature that sets Mercury apart from its planetary neighbours. "What's clear here is that Mercury is not the Moon and it's not the Earth," explained Larry Nittler, also of the Carnegie Institution. "The surface of Mercury occupies a fairly unique location on the diagram for the surfaces of terrestrial planets. It's got lower aluminium and more magnesium relative to silicon, so it has a lower abundance of feldspar [minerals], and so it has clearly undergone a unique geological history." XRS observations also reveal significant quantities of sulphur - at least a factor of 10 times higher than is seen at Earth. Why that should be is not clear, but probably points to the fact that Mercury formed in a different part of the Solar System to Earth where the raw materials for planet growth had a different composition. Another new discovery concerns Mercury's magnetic field. The planet, along with Earth, is alone among the terrestrial planets in having a global magnetic field. The probe has now identified a north-south asymmetry in this field which will allow far more charged particles streaming off the Sun to strike its south pole than its north. These impacts are what lift atoms off the surface - sputtering, as scientists call it - to create Mercury's super-tenuous atmosphere (more properly described as an exosphere). The impacts also change the colour, reflectance and chemistry of the surface over time. "What we thought on the basis of our flybys was that Mercury's magnetic field was a miniature version of Earth's magnetic field, produced by similar processes and with broadly similar geometry," said Dr Solomon. "Now we are in orbit, we can measure that magnetic field every day, and what we are seeing is that it is not a miniature of the Earth's field." Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk In January, British dealers made $2.2m (£1.7m), 16% of the online market. Commissioned by the Netherlands government, research company Rand Europe trawled the eight largest drug marketplaces on the dark web. These online sites can be accessed only using a specialised web browser. They do not show up in mainstream search engine results. Rand Europe found the number of drug deals taking place on the dark web had tripled since 2013, when police in the US closed Silk Road - one of the first online drugs marketplaces. Online drug market share in January Source: Rand Europe Online deals still represent a small portion of the overall drugs trade, which Rand says is estimated to be worth £1.7bn a month in Europe. Rand acknowledged that it faced difficulties collecting some of its data, due to the secretive nature of the online drug trade. However, it suggested that a majority of deals were between buyers and sellers on the same continent, which it attributed to the popularity of locally grown cannabis. Cannabis was the most popular item on the underground websites, accounting for a third of transactions. Purchases of prescription-only medicines accounted for a further 19%. Bought on the dark web in January Source: Rand Europe The researchers noted that online transactions were dominated by "drugs typically associated with recreational or 'party' use" - such as cannabis and ecstasy. Offline, heroin is thought to account for 28% of the total European drugs retail market. Rand said: "A possible explanation for these differences between online and offline markets may be that crypto-market purchases typically require an element of planning, which may not suit the daily use of dependent users of, for instance, heroin."

MPs will gather at the airport to elect a new head of state. On Tuesday evening, suspected Al-Shabab militants launched a series of attacks, with two mortar rounds fired close to the venue where the vote will be held. Residents in Arbacow village outside Mogadishu say jihadists attacked an African Union military base there. More than 20 candidates are vying to become Somali president, with the top three proceeding to a second round of voting and the top two from that round going forward to a third and final vote. Incumbent President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is standing for re-election and analysts say he is likely to be one of those who goes forward to the later rounds. Results are expected later on Wednesday. The airport is viewed as the most secure site in the Somali capital and voting was moved there from a police academy because of growing security concerns. Wednesday's security measures will include a ban on flights to and from Mogadishu airport. Correspondents said most schools and offices remained open on Tuesday but people had had to walk to reach their destination. Analysts say holding the election in the airport environment may also reduce the possibility of vote buying or other corruption in the election process. Somalia has not had an effective central government since the fall of the Siad Barre regime in 1991. The Mogadishu-based government is backed by an African Union force, Amisom, made up of more than 22,000 troops and police, as well as civilian staff. Al-Shabab has a presence in much of the southern third of the country and has carried out many attacks in Mogadishu. It has previously attacked the Somali parliament, presidential palace, courts, hotels and the fortified airport zone. At least 19 politicians, as well as civilians and soldiers have been killed in its assaults.

A traffic ban has been imposed and major roads sealed off in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, ahead of a presidential vote.

Banks will reopen on Sunday. Finance Minister Samir Radwan says the economic situation is "very serious". Analysts say the uprising is costing the country at least $310m a day. In a separate development, the politburo of the ruling National Democratic Party has resigned en masse. Hossam Badrawi, seen as a liberal, became the party's new secretary-general and also took over a position held by Mr Mubarak's son Gamal, Reuters news agency reported. Meanwhile the army has tried to secure one of the entrances to Tahrir Square, where protesters remain encamped since Friday's mass rally. Dozens of soldiers were seen trying to remove barricades in what appears to be an attempt to restore order ahead of the new working week. A senior army official tried to negotiate the army's moves which led to arguments with the protesters, who accused them of attempting to retake control of the square. Earlier there were reports of an explosion at a pipeline that supplies gas to Israel and Jordan. The blast caused a fire near el-Arish, Egyptian state television reported. Mr Mubarak has said he will not stand for re-election in September but insists he must stay until then to prevent chaos in the country. Protesters are demanding that he goes immediately. On Saturday, the president met the prime minister, finance minister, oil minister and trade and industry minister, along with the central bank governor. By Jon LeyneBBC News, Cairo There are still substantial numbers in Tahrir Square - it was a relatively peaceful night although there was some gunfire for a short period. The strategy now seems to be to kill the protest with kindness. The authorities have used rubber bullets and baton charges and - some strongly suspect - paid thugs and nothing has worked, so they are saying 'it's ok, you can protest as long as you like'. The government is encouraging people to go back to work - the banks will open again - and the hope is things will go back to normal and the whole thing fizzles out. They may think a hard core will remain in Tahrir Square which they can whittle down - but they may have underestimated how much they have lost control of much of the country - many other cities are close to chaos - whether it can return to a level where it can function normally is hard to predict. But President Mubarak is not going to resign unless absolutely forced to and the opposition fears if he can make it to the autumn, he can last even longer. Trade Minister Samiha Fawzi Ibrahim said exports were down 6% in January and that the authorities were providing extra food to try to stabilise prices and curb shortages. Banks and the stock exchange have been closed for days, and many factories in the major cities have shut. State media said the stock market would not now open on Monday as planned. The BBC's Kevin Connolly, in Cairo, says the paralysis induced by the protests is having a huge impact on the creaking economy. Tourists have been frightened away and the prices of basic goods like cigarettes and bread have been soaring. He says many Egyptians are beginning to wonder aloud how quickly daily life will return to normal regardless of the outcome of the struggle for power. Speaking to the BBC, Mr Radwan admitted the economy faced a "very serious" situation and that he was in constant touch with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. But he also said the economy had a "solid base" and "so far, we are coping". Economists at Credit Agricole say the uprising is costing the country at least $310m (£192m) a day and they have revised down their economic growth estimate for Egypt this year from 5.3% to 3.7%. Hotel businessman Adly el-Misikawi told the BBC his trade was down 30% and although he believed the demands of the protesters should be met he said Mr Mubarak should stay in office to oversee a smooth transition Mr Radwan also said there would be a meeting with opposition groups to try to end the 12 days of protests. Egypt unrest: Protests map He said Vice-President Omar Suleiman and "almost certainly Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq" would attend, adding that they would have "sufficient authority to negotiate with the opposition". He did not say which opposition groups would attend. Egyptian television said the al-Wafd and Al-Tajammu parties would be at the talks. However, the BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo says if only these parties were involved the dialogue would have little credibility. Leading opposition politician Mohamed ElBaradei told Germany's Der Spiegel weekly he would like to hold talks "with army chiefs, preferably soon, to study how we can achieve a transition without bloodshed". The biggest opposition group in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, has said it will take part in discussions provided the government submits political reform within a specified time frame. But it also insists Mr Mubarak must leave office immediately. By Mark MardellBBC North America editor Read Mark's thoughts in full Mr Radwan said the transition of power had already begun, with Mr Mubarak saying he would not run again for president. "It is setting a process in place to ensure a smooth transition of power without falling into the trap of the chaos scenario," he said. Saturday's pipeline explosion targeted supplies to Israel and Jordan from Egypt's Port Said. Gas was shut off and the fire was brought under control by mid-morning, state television said. It also reported that the curfew had now been shortened and would be in effect from 1900 to 0600 local time (1700-0400 GMT). Also on Saturday, Reuters news agency said a senior Egyptian security source had denied reports on the Fox news network that there had been an assassination attempt on Mr Suleiman which left two of his bodyguards dead. On Saturday at a conference in Munich, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the "status quo" of undemocratic nations in the region was "simply not sustainable". She said: "Governments who consistently deny people freedom will open the door to instability... free people govern themselves best." German Chancellor Angela Merkel and UK PM David Cameron, also at the conference, both stressed the need for stability in Egypt. Mrs Merkel added: "Early elections at the beginning of the democratisation process is probably the wrong approach." On Friday huge crowds had demonstrated across Egypt for an 11th day. More than 100,000 people - including large numbers of women and children - gathered in Tahrir Square for what was being called the "day of departure". There were also demonstrations in Egypt's second city, Alexandria, and in the towns of Suez, Port Said, Rafah, Ismailiya, Zagazig, al-Mahalla al-Kubra, Aswan and Asyut. However, there were suggestions that the protesters would now reduce their presence in central Cairo. The UN believes more than 300 have died across Egypt since the protests began on 25 January, with about 4,000 hurt.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has held talks with ministers to try to revive an economy hit by a wave of anti-government protests.

On Wednesday, the Department of Work and Pensions announced the closures as part of a review of its estate. Scottish government Employability Minister Jamie Hepburn has written to the department to ask for clarity. The DWP said there would be public consultation on closures resulting in travel of more than three miles. Denise Horsfall, DWP work services director for Scotland, told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme that three of the proposed closures would result in travel increasing to up to four miles. She said these job centres - in Maryhill, Castlemilk and Bridgton - could remain open depending on the outcome of the consultation. Jobcentre Plus offices in Govan, Drumchapel and Laurieston will be unaffected. Mr Hepburn said there should have been discussion with the Scottish Government, particularly as it had been working closely with the DWP to transfer new employability support powers. "My first concern is to understand how DWP have assessed the impact of these proposed changes on their customers at a time when they are increasing the level of Jobcentre Plus-based support in favour of reducing funding for devolved employment provision," he said. "The UK Government must also explain its plans for other Jobcentre Plus networks and whether we should expect further planned closures." A final decision on the plans is expected to be made within six months, with a view to completion by 31 March 2018.

The Scottish government has said it was "completely unacceptable" that it was not consulted on plans to close half of Glasgow's job centres.

Collins, 36, joined the Mariners on Tuesday having been without a team since his release by Championship club Rotherham at the end of last season. He has also played for seven other clubs, including spells in the Premier League with Sunderland and Stoke. "A lot of teams, managers or chairmen in particular are looking to take young lads on loan from Manchester United or City, the academies," he said. "They're thinking - are we going to get much shelf-life out of an older player if we take him on? "Other managers think 'well, we need a solid older head in the team with a bit of experience to help the young lads through' as well, so there's a balance. "It does get annoying, people thinking, 'oh he's 36 now', but I've rarely missed a day's training through my career and I'll always make myself available to play." 6 Music will broadcast gigs from venues including the Colston Hall, O2 Academy and Trinity from 12-14 February. Bristol natives Beak, The Blue Aeroplanes and DJ Pinch will also perform. The full line-up will be revealed next month. Previous 6 Music Festivals have been held in Manchester and on Tyneside. Primal Scream singer Bobby Gillespie joined 6 Music DJs Mary-Ann Hobbs and Steve Lamacq to launch the festival in the city on Tuesday. The band will perform material from their new album Chaosmosis live for the first time at the festival. And it will be a homecoming for Tricky as the trip-hop auteur showcases material from his new album Skilled Mechanics, which is released in January. Mary Anne Hobbs promised the festival would be an "unforgettable experience". She said: "This year, the festival is coming to Bristol, a place where music is such a primary element of the DNA of the city. "The 6 Music Festival is such a special event because it brings all the elements of what we do as a digital radio station into a physical space - the artists, the whole of the station's staff and presenters, and of course our wonderful listeners." Lamacq said: "Bristol has some fantastic venues - I was there a while back to see a band called The Archie Bronson Outfit and had an excellent night at the Colston Hall so I'm really looking forward to going back there. "I've also presented a lot of good shows from Bristol over the years including Sound City for Radio 1 in the '90s and some gigs for 6 Music, so I know the appetite for music is really healthy around the city. I hope people come along and enjoy it." The state news agency KCNA said the ban would stay in place "until the incident that happened in Malaysia is properly solved". Mr Kim, the estranged half-brother of North Korea's leader, was killed in Malaysia last month. North Korea has denied accusations that it carried out the killing. It has also been fiercely critical of the Malaysian investigation into Mr Kim's death, and has rejected the findings of a post-mortem examination which ruled he had been killed with VX nerve agent, the most potent of all known chemical weapons. Pyongyang has also not yet confirmed that the body is that of Kim Jong-nam, acknowledging him only as a North Korean citizen. Mr Kim was travelling using a passport under a different name. While Malaysia has not directly blamed North Korea for the attack, there is widespread suspicion Pyongyang was responsible. Several North Koreans are being sought by police in connection with the killing. Two women - one Indonesian and one Vietnamese - have been charged with murder. Both Malaysia and and North Korea have now expelled each other's ambassadors. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

Gokul Venkatachalam, 14, nearly won last year. Paige Kimble, the bee's executive director, was shocked to see another tie. She had predicted another half-century would pass before it happened. Ms Kimble said she was impressed by both winners, but was sure a word would trip one of them up at some point. That never happened during the contest, held at a convention centre outside of Washington, DC and aired by sports network ESPN. The two sailed through the 25 words reserved for the final three spellers without stumbling. "Scherenschnitte", the art of cutting paper into decorative designs, was Vanya's final world. Following Vanya, Gokul nailed his final word, which determined whether he would be a co-champion or lose: "nunatak", a hill or mountain surrounded by ice. Before last year, a tie had not happened since 1962. The winners continue on with the 10-year-streak of Indian-Americans snagging the spelling bee champion title. Asked how she was feeling after the contest, Vanya said she was dedicating the win to her grandmother, who had passed away a few years ago. She hopes to become a cardiac surgeon. Gokul hopes to attend Stanford University and become an entrepreneur or stockbroker. The two winners will receive more than $37,000 (£24,000) in cash and prizes. Eleven million spellers entered local bees hoping to qualify for this year's contest. Only 285 make it to the national bee. The bee may have to get more challenging in coming years, Ms Kimble said. The event has become so popular and competitive that winners sail past the toughest words. Network Rail said some platforms would be closed between 5 and 28 August for extension work. It suggested people try to avoid the station altogether. The £800m redevelopment is part of a project to bring five former Eurostar platforms back into service. Once complete, there will be 30% more platform space at the station. But Network Rail warned the work would mean there will be fewer trains on the South West Trains (SWT) network during the summer holidays. South West Trains said stations would have fewer services and some would close altogether while the work takes place. It said passengers should "consider their journeys" well ahead of the summer. When the work is completed, South West Trains will be able to run longer, 10-carriage trains on suburban routes, once a new timetable comes into force in December. Becky Lumlock, of Network Rail, said: "Right now we're in the midst of the largest upgrade at Waterloo for decades and this is a significant part of Network Rail's national railway upgrade plan. "This means big changes for passengers and we want them to be well-equipped to plan ahead. "Fewer trains will be arriving and departing at Waterloo, and some stations will close entirely. "This is why we're asking passengers to check how they will be affected now so that they can plan ahead, either by planning to travel at different times of day or working from home on some days during the works." SWT managing director Christian Roth said: "This is the biggest investment in this railway for decades and it will provide a significant increase in capacity for the thousands of passengers who use this railway every day." Electoral reform plans in the last parliament suggested creating constituencies of 75,000 voters, but the island currently has about 110,000. Conservative Andrew Turner MP tweeted the island "will have two MPs by 2020". The Boundary Commission confirmed two undersized constituencies was the likely outcome of a new review. In 2010, during the last review of constituency boundaries, the commission proposed dividing the Isle of Wight. About 16,000 people signed a petition to stop a second island constituency being added to part of Hampshire. The boundary review was never completed in the last parliament as the Lib Dems withdrew their support following a dispute with their Conservative coalition partners over proposed elections to the House of Lords. The Boundary Commission is due to begin a new review of boundaries in time for the 2020 general election. Mr Turner said: "Now we have the majority, the government can indeed turn it from a one-constituency to a two-constituency island." He said it was likely to be an east-west division and there would "absolutely not" be any splitting of a constituency between the island and part of the mainland. Snake scales are slipperier on the belly than the back, but the reason for this difference is not yet known. By revealing the molecular make-up of the scale surface, this study offers a new explanation for how snakes reduce friction on their underside. It will be presented on Wednesday, at a symposium on the science of surfaces. Lead author Joe Baio, a chemical engineer from Oregon State University, said the lubrication helps the snakes in two ways: it makes movement easier, but also reduces wear and tear. "When snakes slide on the ground, how do they reduce friction and not scrape away their skin?" he said. "The coefficient of friction for the belly of the snake... is a lot lower than the top of the snake - so it's somehow reducing friction on its stomach side. "But under a really high-powered microscope, the shape and morphology of [the scales] look identical." Dr Baio is in San Jose to present his findings at the AVS symposium. He told the BBC he is rather scared of snakes - but his interest was sparked by a conversation with zoologist Stanislav Gorb, at the same conference several years ago. Together, they started to study the scales of the California kingsnake. "I ran into [Stanislav] at the AVS conference a few years ago and we talked about this problem," Dr Baio said. Soon, packages of fresh scales were traversing the Atlantic from Prof Gorb's laboratory at the University of Kiel in Germany. "As soon as the snake moulted he would send me scales, and I would use very surface-sensitive spectroscopy techniques that we've developed, to look at the outer couple of nanometres of the surface." Using these techniques, Dr Baio was soon struck by "huge differences" between belly and back scales. Both sets of scales have a thin film of grease on their surface, but on belly scales those lipid molecules are arranged into a very orderly structure. "It's extremely, extremely well ordered. It's not just some grease they picked up; it's there for a reason," Dr Baio said. "I do a lot of other sorts of chemistry - including modifications for biological implants, for the human body. And to make the chemistry this well ordered is really hard." They started with the California kingsnake, but Dr Baio said his team had already started working on other species, with similar results. And now that they have detected this orderly lipid structure, they are planning experiments to test whether it is, in fact, the cause of reduced friction on the snake's belly. At the moment it remains an intriguing observation. "The argument we're making is, everything else looks the same; the morphology and the roughness looks the same. The only thing we can find that's different, is the chemistry at the surface." The source of the lubricating layer is also a mystery; it does not appear to wear off, so it might be constantly secreted by pores in the snake's skin - or the molecules might be stuck in place. "Another possibility is that at the surface, these things are covalently attached. We haven't quite figured out the source," Dr Baio said. Prof Bruce Jayne, a zoologist and snake expert at the University of Cincinnati, told BBC News he was unsure whether the lipid layer was the whole story. Many land snakes do, he said, show microscopic physical differences between the scales on their belly and elsewhere. But he thought it was an interesting finding, nonetheless. "I have often thought that snakes with freshly shed skin feel just a bit different, but is not clear to me if this is because of a coating or wear." If the lipids are not, in fact, playing a role reducing friction, he suggested they might help to stop the snake's scales from drying out. Meanwhile, according to Dr Baio, the findings could help engineers produce new paints or coatings with very low friction, protecting surfaces from wear. "You could make very slippery surfaces by mimicking what's going on in these scales," he said. The AVS is running its symposium in San Jose until Friday. It is a member society of the American Institute of Physics, dedicated to the study of surfaces; it was formerly called the American Vacuum Society because high-vacuum environments were essential for such experiments. Follow Jonathan on Twitter Work has begun on constructing the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Limited (Bowl) in the Outer Moray Firth at a cost of £2.6bn. More than 80 turbines have been proposed for the scheme. The new £3m fund is open to community groups, charities and non-profit-making organisations. It will operate over five years with £2m available for projects in Caithness and Sutherland and £1m for applications from Moray. Energy giant SSE, one of the companies involved in Bowl, has announced the establishment of the fund's panel. Its members are Caithness and North Sutherland Fund co-ordinator David Shearer, Highlands and Islands regional director at Scottish Council for Development and Industry Fraser Grieve and chief executive of Moray Chamber of Commerce Sarah Medcraf. Also Prof James Hunter, who is Emeritus professor of history at the University of the Highlands and Islands, and SSE's head of community investment Morven Smith. Officers said a woman died after her car skidded on ice on Southport New Road, Tarleton at about 05:30 GMT and crashed into a tree. She was taken to hospital but died later from her injuries. There have been five crashes on the M6 and one in which a man was seriously injured in Hesketh Bank. Windsor Road bridge, which connects Adamsdown with Splott, will be closed until spring 2016 with diversions of up to two miles in place. The new bridge is needed to accommodate heavier loads and allow to extra headroom needed for the future electrification of the railway by 2017. Cardiff council said it had worked with Network Rail to minimise disruption. With his customary disingenuous charm, the Australian added: "I don't know how I do it. I'm going to have to learn eventually, I suppose." A decade on, there is no sign that Foster - who once dated the Page Three model Samantha Fox - has altered his ways, despite serving further jail terms for more of the scams for which he has long been infamous. Now the 54-year-old is back behind bars, charged with yet another alleged fraud: conning at least one investor in an online betting agency, the Sports Trading Club (STC), and funnelling up to A$32m (£20m; $24m) offshore. Foster, who had been on the run for nearly a year, will face court this month after being arrested in a cafe on Queensland's Gold Coast in February and extradited to New South Wales. Last month, he was denied bail despite insisting to a magistrate that he was a changed man. The STC affair is the latest episode in the long-running soap opera that is Foster's life - a drama that embroiled and embarrassed the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, in 2002, when it was revealed that the Australian had helped Mr Blair's wife, Cherie, to buy two cut-price flats in Bristol. Downing St initially denied Mrs Blair's association with the convicted fraudster, but she was then forced to deliver a tearful public apology on TV. The pair had met through Foster's then partner, Carole Caplin, who was Mrs Blair's "fitness guru". Under threat of deportation, Foster left Britain in 2003, and since then has divided his time between Australia and Fiji, allegedly continuing to fleece the gullible while portraying himself as a lovable rogue. In Fiji, he was arrested in his underpants after diving into a river to evade police. He also tried to blacken the name of a rival property developer in that country, and was even credited with a part in one of its numerous coups. His latest brush with the law comes after he allegedly swindled one STC investor out of A$1.5m, using an alias, Mark Hughes. The Perth-based man became suspicious after receiving a text message from an STC director which mentioned Peter Foster by name. He realised Foster and Hughes were allegedly one and the same. Appearing by video link in Sydney's Central Local Court, Foster pleaded for bail, claiming he was at risk of being killed in jail for informing on a Gold Coast businessman, John Chardon, accused of murdering his wife. The garrulous Australian, who shared a cell with Chardon in 2015, also promised the magistrate he would not abscond. "My past is bad, and I'm the first to admit it, but even God can't change the sins of the past," he declared. Foster, who is close to his elderly, sick mother, added: "I'm not the person I was 20 years ago or 10 years ago. I don't want to run away from my own family. I don't want to be an orphan travelling the world." Unimpressed, the magistrate refused to grant bail, deeming him a flight risk - particularly in light of an "escape kit", including a fake Irish passport, which police previously found buried in his backyard. As a teenager, Foster promoted nightclubs and boxing matches on the Gold Coast. He made a fraudulent insurance claim in relation to a cancelled match when he was just 20. Over the years, many of his scams have involved bogus weight-loss products, including the notorious Bai Lin tea, which he persuaded Ms Fox and the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, to promote during the 1980s. The tea and other products - including so-called "slimming granules", Ageless Ageing jelly, the TRIMit diet pill and a thigh reduction cream - saw him fined and jailed in Britain, the US and Australia during the late '80s and '90s. Given bail in Fiji after his watery arrest in 2006, Foster absconded and crisscrossed the South Pacific, eventually wading to shore in Vanuatu, carrying his belongings in a plastic bag. He was imprisoned for immigration offences but freed early, apparently after a long lunch with police and prison officers. In 2011, he was arrested at his mother's hospital bedside, managing to stuff his mobile phone under her pillow before being led away. In 2013, he went on the run yet again - and it was during this period, holed up in Byron Bay, on the northern NSW coast, that he allegedly conducted the betting fraud. Arrested and jailed in 2014 following a tussle with police during which his underpants fell down, Foster was later fined A$660,000 for conning 90 investors in his SensaSlim "weight loss spray" out of A$6 million. The judge described him as "beyond redemption". The Local Government Association fears the demand for school places could soon reach a tipping point with no more space or money to extend schools. The LGA wants the government to fully fund the cost of all the extra places, calculated to run to £12bn. Ministers said the last Labour government had failed to plan ahead. Official government figures, published last year, project that by 2023 there will be a total of 8,022,000 pupils in England's schools - up from 7,143,000 in the current academic year. The school population bulge is most acute in major cities, according to the National Audit Office, with the birth rate rising faster than at any time since the 1950s. Some suburban areas have seen a rise in the number of families with school-age children, due to changes in work patterns - while the school population has fallen in some rural areas. The NAO has said the rising birth rate is related to a 6% increase in the number of women of child-bearing age since 2003, plus more older women having babies. Official figures for 2013 show that more than a quarter of births (26.5%) in England and Wales were to women born outside the UK - that is 185,075 babies out of a total of 698,512 born that year. Similar figures for 2002 show 596,122 live births of which 17.7% were to women born overseas. The LGA says the cost of creating places for all these pupils could be £12bn, meaning the government's commitment of £7.35bn for extra school places leaves a shortfall. As well as more central government funding, it wants councils to be given the powers to open new schools to meet local need without bureaucratic burdens. The association's comments come ahead of Thursday's deadline for the parents of some 370,000 three and four-year-olds to apply for school places for their children. It says councils are "pulling out all the stops to ensure there is a place for every child". Separate figures from the Labour Party suggest almost one in five primary schools is already over capacity. The party sent Freedom of Information requests to England's 152 local education authorities - 130 replied. The responses suggested 18% do not have enough capacity for their pupils, with children in over-large classes or temporary makeshift classrooms. These include a primary school in Northumberland which is holding classes in a converted double-decker bus, and another in Bristol which has taken over an old police station. More than three-quarters (78%) of the councils that responded saw a need for additional primary places in the next three years, with half saying they would need more secondary places. David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board, said: "We are calling on the government to commit to funding the creation of school places and hand councils the powers to open new schools, for both primary and secondary-age pupils, before time runs out." He said councils were trying to create places on time and in the right places but were hampered by red tape and lack of money. "The scale of this crisis is too much for council taxpayers to pay for alone. "Additionally, much of the decision-making about new school places rests in the hands of the government, whose funding for school places came late. "As a consequence, councils are carrying a billion pounds worth of costs which puts pressure on other school services." The government has focused funding on new schools for academies and free schools, which are independent of local authority control. Education Secretary Nicky Morgan told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the spaces would be provided by academies and free schools, and £5bn had been spent in this parliament so far on the creation of new places. "By the time we get all the free schools in the pipeline up and running, they will be providing over 200,000 new places across the country," she said. "Seventy per cent of free schools that have been opened have been opened in areas of basic need." Class size was important but so was the quality of education and number of teachers in the classroom, she added. Labour says government policy means local authorities are unable to build schools in areas where they are needed while allowing free schools to open in areas where there are already surplus places. Shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said parents had a "big choice" to make at the May election. "On education the choice is this: a Labour Party committed to sensible and pragmatic solutions for overcoming the growing pressures on school places, or David Cameron's irresponsible schools policy that prioritises money for new schools in areas with surplus places," he said. Conservative Education Minister Nick Gibb blamed the crisis on Labour. "The last Labour government failed to plan for the future, cutting funding for school places during a baby boom while allowing immigration to get out of control, and they wasted millions of pounds of taxpayers' money on their failed building schools for the future programme," he said. Natalie Evans director of the New Schools Network, which represents free schools, said they were "playing an important part" in helping address the places crisis. Some 86% of primary free schools are in areas with a projected need for places "rising to 100% in London where the shortage is most acute", said Ms Evans. The Resolution Foundation found that average income growth halved to 0.7% during that period compared with the previous year. Those aged 25-34 were worst hit, it said, with their average incomes no higher than they were in 2002-03. The Treasury said it was taking "concrete steps" to help families. The Resolution Foundation analyses living standards, and says its goal is to improve outcomes for people on low and modest incomes. It said young families were the only group whose incomes have failed to return to pre-financial crisis levels. Pensioner incomes grew by 30% over that 15-year period, the think tank said. "The typical 25 to 34-year-old appears no better off today than in 2002-03," the report said. "In comparison, typical incomes for all other age groups are now above, or very near, their pre-recession peaks." The fall in average income growth followed a "mini-boom" between 2013 and 2015, the foundation said, when living standards improved. Families in rented accommodation have experienced little or no income growth, while home-owners had a 1.7% growth, the report found. A Treasury spokesperson said the government was taking action to increase people's incomes and help families "keep more of what they earn". The Treasury said: "We have cut taxes so a basic rate taxpayer pays £1,000 less income tax compared to 2010 and introduced the National Living Wage which means £1,400 a year extra for a worker." The spokesperson said the government was investing in affordable homes and government-backed loans to help first-time buyers. The think tank's senior economic analyst, Adam Corlett, said: "For millions of young and lower-income families the slowdown over the last year has come off the back of a tough decade for living standards, providing a bleak economic backdrop to the shock election result. "Over the last 15 years and four prime ministers, Britain has failed to deliver decent living standards growth for young families and those on low incomes. "Rising housing costs have added further financial pressures." Over the year, incomes among low to middle-income families grew by 0.4%, compared with 1% for those in the top half of the income distribution. Two out of five of this group said they were not able to save £10 per month, while 42% cannot afford a holiday at least one week per year. "Despite the welcome political focus on such 'just managing families', we estimate that income growth for this group in 2016-17, ahead of the election, was lower than for higher income groups," the report said. The top 1% of households had a "rapid recovery" in incomes, the report said, and now have an 8.7% share of the nation's income. The think tank said the fortunes of the top 1% had been the driving force of rising inequality since the mid-1990s. Inequality among the remaining 99% of the population fell over the same period. The club issued a statement confirming it was aware of an "incident" now being investigated by Kent Police. A man in his 20s, understood to be batsman Liam Livingstone, sustained a head injury at The Auction House bar in New Street, Ashford. Earlier in the day, Lancashire had qualified for the T20 Blast Finals Day following a tied match against Kent. The Lancashire club statement said: "LCCC is aware of an incident that took place on Saturday evening involving some of our players. "The matter is currently being investigated by the police and nobody from the club will be making any further comment at this stage." Kent Police received a report of a disturbance at The Auction House bar at 23:57 BST on Saturday. A force statement said: "It was reported that a man in his 20s had been assaulted and sustained a head injury. "Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of the incident." The party was left with just one MP in Scotland last May as the SNP won 56 of the 59 seats. Dame Margaret Beckett's report said the party came to represent "continuity rather than change" in Scotland. And she said the Scottish result made it impossible for the party to win the election. Dame Margaret, a former Labour cabinet minister, led a taskforce set up to examine why Labour performed worse than expected in the election. Her report said that pollsters and activists on the doorstep consistently heard four main reasons for the party's defeat: The report said Scottish Labour came to "represent continuity rather than change" and that it is "widely believed that the collapse had been a disaster waiting to happen, perhaps for many years". But despite awareness of an impending defeat in Scotland, Labour still believed it would prevent the Conservatives from gaining an overall majority and that instead, Labour could form a minority government. The report said Labour must "develop a long term strategy for Scotland" and the Scottish party, while remaining "a key part" of the UK party, must develop "significant autonomy" in policy areas relevant to Scotland. It acknowledged that "Scotland is a huge challenge" for Labour, and that if it failed to recover north of the border the party in England and Wales would require a 12.5% swing from the Conservatives in order to form a majority UK government. The report said that in the aftermath of the independence referendum, no one envisaged that the prime minister would call for English Votes for English Laws and that few realised that "support for the Yes campaign might lead to increased support for the SNP". It was after this that the SNP adopted Labour policies and built "not only on the emotion of the referendum but on the perception of a possible betrayal of government promises", the report stated. And it highlighted that while Labour in Scotland was forced to conduct a leadership election, the SNP was left to disseminate "their post referendum narrative". The report found that the result in Scotland was a vote against the government but also "in a sense, a vote against Westminster" and that due to Conservative "weakness" in Scotland, a vote against Westminster also turned into a vote against Labour. And it concluded that the party needs a massive upswing in its fortunes in England and Scotland if it is to be returned to power in five years time. The 24-year-old joined the Bantams in January on a deal until the end of the season following a spell on loan. The former Preston, Swansea, Crawley and Fleetwood striker, who scored six times in 21 appearances for Bradford, has signed a two-year contract. He will reunite with Bolton manager Phil Parkinson, who left Valley Parade to join Wanderers on 10 June. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The Vatican says the Pope's eight-day trip will begin on 12 February. Pope Francis is expected to address issues such as poverty, organised crime and discrimination against migrants who look for a better life in their own country or abroad. He drew millions of people to the streets of four other Latin American countries earlier this year. Pope Francis is expected to get a warm reception in Mexico, where more than 80% of the population are Catholics. The Archbishop of Mexico City, Norberto Rivera Carrera, said the Pope would renew his calls for forgiveness and solidarity. "He will surely address the issues of dignity, human rights and duties and the care we owe to the most vulnerable people in society, such as migrants," said Archbishop Rivera. Details of the Pope's full schedule in the visit to Mexico have not yet been released. Archbishop Rivera has confirmed, however, that he would have a meeting with President Enrique Pena Nieto and also visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the national shrine of Mexico. In July Pope Francis visited Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay. The Vatican said that his choice of three of the poorest countries in South America reflected his "interest in the peripheries". He made an official visit to Cuba and the United States in September. During his address to the US Congress, the Pope said immigrants should be treated "with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated". Pope Francis has not been back to his native Argentina since being elected pontiff in 2013. Aleksandar Kolarov and substitute Samir Nasri struck after the break to make it three wins from three for City, who have yet to concede a goal as they lay down another marker that they are determined to reclaim their crown from Chelsea. Everton, buoyed by a fine win at Southampton last weekend, gave City a real run for their money but David Silva had already hit an upright before Kolarov took advantage of poor goalkeeping from Tim Howard to take Raheem Sterling's pass and score at the near post on the hour. Romelu Lukaku glanced the bar with a free-kick for Everton at the end of an evenly-contested first 45 minutes but City's greater quality made the difference after the break and it was an uphill battle for Roberto Martinez's men once Kolarov had broken the deadlock. Vincent Kompany came to City's rescue late on when he cleared Gareth Barry's header off the line and the destiny of the three points was settled when Nasri played a neat one-two with Yaya Toure to lift a finish over the advancing Howard with two minutes left. City demonstrated their credentials with their comprehensive victory over champions Chelsea at Etihad Stadium last Sunday and this was just as impressive as they emerged unscathed from a potentially hazardous visit to Goodison Park. Follow all the match reaction This was the sort of game where Manchester City were so often found wanting last season, caught short on trips to Liverpool and Manchester United - as well on visits to Burnley and Crystal Palace. There was a sense that Manuel Pellegrini's team were resting on their status as reigning champions and paid the price for complacency setting in. It may have been the loss of that title and the criticism that came with it but there was not a bit of complacency here as they came to Goodison Park, where they have struggled so badly in the past, and came away deserved winners. City showed strength as the back when required in the face of a very good Everton challenge, with Eliaquim Mangala faring much better against Romelu Lukaku than he did last season and showing he will not step aside easily for £30m new boy Nicolas Otamendi, and real class in attack. With Yaya Toure rejuvenated, Silva, Sergio Aguero and Sterling have licence to be expansive and after showing they could be a force at home with their dismissal of champions Chelsea, this was a real show of strength at Goodison Park, a ground where no-one has an easy ride. John Stones went into this game shrouded in speculation about his Everton future with Chelsea reportedly considering a fourth bid to take the 21-year-old England defender to Stamford Bridge having had a third offer of £30m turned down. It is easy to see why Everton insist he will not be sold - and why Chelsea will not go away in their pursuit of a player they see as the heir apparent to John Terry at the heart of their defence. Stones was easy on the eye, showing great composure on the ball and a willingness to mix it in the tackle that shows there is steel beneath the elegant exterior. He is still progressing, however, and it showed in one of two moments when his willingness to play his way out of trouble led to an anxious moment and also when he was involved in a mix-up with young Everton team-mate Tylas Browning that led to a chance for Jesus Navas. Stones showed enough elsewhere, though, to illustrate exactly why he is so coveted and regarded as a player with a glittering future for club and country. Sterling has hinted at why Manchester City were prepared to part with £49m to bring him from Liverpool in his first two games - here he showed exactly what he can add to Manuel Pellegrini's side. Sterling had to put up with inevitable jeers from Everton supporters as a former Liverpool player (although hardly a taste of what he will receive when he gets back to Anfield) but he played without a care in the world and was a constant threat. He had a fascinating battle with Everton right-back Seamus Coleman throughout the game and both emerged with credit, Sterling playing in Silva for a shot against the post then setting up Kolarov for his goal. Sterling showed pace, strength and industry to give City the width to get in behind Everton's defence in his before performance since his expensive switch from Liverpool. The Spanish magician was a constant source of danger from the first whistle with his brilliant close control and superb vision. Silva knits it all together for City and his link with Sterling and Sergio Aguero is rich in possibilities for City. He could have had a goal but struck a post with a thunderous shot but contributed enough elsewhere to make him City's main man again. Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini: "We have different pace with Sterling. It's a different way to play. It's important to have different things to do during the game. It's important to have a good squad because we play so many games in a season." Everton boss Roberto Martinez: "It's a little bit hard to take because I think we had very good moments. If we could get the first goal it would have changed the game. Overall I felt we didn't have that bit of luck you need in the six-yard box." Manchester City will hope they can continue their perfect start to the season when they face Premier League newcomers Watford next Saturday at Etihad Stadium before they travel to Crystal Palace after the international break. After Everton have travelled to Barnsley for a second-round League Cup tie, they will face an early test against one of their potential Europe-chasing rivals at Tottenham. The Toffees then host Chelsea at Goodison after the break. Match ends, Everton 0, Manchester City 2. Second Half ends, Everton 0, Manchester City 2. Corner, Everton. Conceded by Aleksandar Kolarov.

It was a season full of twists and turns with plenty of drama off the pitch as well as on it, but in the end it was the blue half of Manchester celebrating their first league title since 1968. BBC Sport looks back over the past 10 months and picks out some of the moments that shaped the destiny of the championship. It's unusual for me to take any notice of the Community Shield but this time I did. It was a real statement by United and, if you were one of the other sides with an eye on the title, you would start to worry Before a ball was even kicked in the Premier League there was a fixture that set-up the see-saw rivalry that unfolded over the season, as Manchester United came back from two goals down to beat Manchester City 3-2 in the Community Shield. One side had aspirations of mounting a successful defence of their league title, while the other was determined to emerge from the shadow of their city rival and prove they too were serious title contenders, rather than just the 'noisy neighbours' Sir Alex Ferguson once called them. Both sides were quick out of the traps when the Premier League season got under way as Ferguson's men took maximum points from their first three games with wins over West Brom and Tottenham, before sending out a signal of intent with an 8-2 demolition of Arsenal, while Manchester City followed up a dominant 4-0 victory over Swansea with a 3-2 win over Bolton. They then inflicted a hefty 5-1 defeat on Tottenham to ensure they joined Manchester United at the top of the standings with nine points heading into September... Manchester City made their way to the top of the table with a 3-0 win over Wigan, but it was to be a brief stay after Wayne Rooney's second hat-trick of the season helped Manchester United to a 5-0 win over hapless Bolton. You cannot keep disrespecting the manager. Whether you like him or not, it doesn't make any difference. You're playing for yourself, your club, your team. There's quite a few managers I didn't get on with but you put your shift in, you play for pride because you're a professional. You simply cannot refuse to play in a football match. It's selfish, it's cowardly and bang out of order. A 2-2 draw with Fulham - where Manchester City threw away a two-goal lead - paved the way for United to open up a two-point gap at the top of the table if they could beat Chelsea, who themselves had high hopes of challenging for a fourth Premier League title, but it was Ferguson's side who emerged triumphant, scoring three first-half goals for a 3-1 win. That victory moved them five points ahead of Chelsea and two clear of Manchester City, who were about to become embroiled in a bitter feud with key striker Carlos Tevez. The Argentine had been named on the bench as Manchester City beat Everton 2-0, and he was again among the substitutes for a Champions League fixture with Bayern Munich. However, boss Roberto Mancini claimed he refused to warm up with 35 minutes left to play, prompting the Italian to insist that Tevez would never play for the club again for as long as he was in charge. The Italian kept his word and Tevez was nowhere to be seen for City's next Premier League game against Blackburn and they certainly did not miss him as they eased to a 4-0 win. Manchester United kept hold of first place with a 2-0 win over Norwich but their grip was relinquished when they could only draw 1-1 with Liverpool, during which Luis Suarez racially abused Patrice Evra. Manchester City maintained their superb goal-scoring form as they swept aside Aston Villa 4-1 to set-up a tantalising encounter between themselves and Manchester United. However, nobody could have anticipated just what was to unfold at Old Trafford. The 6-1 thrashing at Old Trafford says more about City than it does about their closest rivals and makes them an even bigger scalp - it is the announcement that they have seriously arrived on the big stage. Having not lost at home in any competitions in more than a year, it was hard to see past the home side. But Manchester City were at their attacking best as Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko both scored twice, while Sergio Aguero and David Silva were also on the scoresheet in a 6-1 rout. That victory moved Manchester City five points clear of their city rivals and strongly suggested that the Premier League title battle was going to be contested exclusively in the north west of England. Media playback is not supported on this device Even those who temper their admiration for the Scot cannot contest his right to be regarded among the finest managers football has known Sir Alex Ferguson celebrated 25 years as manager of Manchester United with a 1-0 win over Sunderland, but Manchester City maintained their five-point advantage at the top as they dug out a 3-2 win at QPR. Both sides won their next Premier League fixtures, with United edging Swansea 1-0, while City handed Newcastle a first defeat of the season, beating Alan Pardew's side 3-1 at Etihad Stadium. Newcastle, whose fine start to the season had them snapping at the heels of the leading duo, next travelled to Old Trafford where they held the home side to a 1-1 draw - crucial points were dropped by Manchester United in their title challenge. Fortunately for United, Mancini's men also dropped points as they were held 1-1 by draw specialists Liverpool at Anfield. It is often said a side that wins league titles is a side that is capable of grinding out victories and Manchester United were doing just that as a first career goal for Phil Jones secured a 1-0 win at Aston Villa. Manchester City, meanwhile, maintained their 100% home record and their five-point lead over Manchester United with a comfortable 5-1 victory over Norwich. December saw both sides crash out of the Champions League but United put their European disappointment behind them with a resounding 4-1 win over struggling Wolves, but for City the hangover lasted longer as they slumped to a first Premier League defeat of the season, losing 2-1 at Chelsea. Finally, after weeks of chasing down their lead, Manchester United moved level on points with their city rivals after Dimitar Berbatov scored a hat-trick in a 5-0 win over Wigan, while Mancini's side could only draw 0-0 with West Brom. United had the chance to ensure they entered 2012 top of the table but suffered a surprise 3-2 defeat by Blackburn at Old Trafford on New Year's Eve, leaving the title race delicately poised for the second half of the season. Both sides kicked off 2012 with a defeat as Manchester United lost 3-0 to Newcastle, while Manchester City suffered a shock 1-0 defeat by Sunderland. Only 48 hours after that surprising loss, City responded in style with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Liverpool that opened up a three-point gap at the top. That put the onus back on United, who needed to do something special in January to reignite their title challenge. That something was to be the return of midfielder Paul Scholes from retirement, and he made his Premier League return against Bolton on 14 January. It was to be a memorable one as he scored the opener that put United on the way to a 3-0 win that moved Ferguson's side level on points with Manchester City once again. With Manchester City easing to a 3-0 win over Fulham on 5 February, the pressure was on Manchester United to win their game against Chelsea the following day. Things could hardly have gone worse for United as they found themselves 3-0 down with less than an hour gone but, inspired by Wayne Rooney, they staged a remarkable comeback as a double from the England striker and a Javier Hernandez strike ensured they escaped with a point. It was a vital result and one that was looked upon as somewhat of a turning point in their bid to defend the Premier League title. Crucial wins over Liverpool and Norwich were to follow. Media playback is not supported on this device City kept themselves top with victories against Aston Villa and Blackburn, but their title rivals were keeping pace as the two clubs entered the business end of the season. However, big news was developing behind the scenes at Etihad Stadium as Tevez returned from the wilderness to train with the first team, suggesting Mancini was prepared to reconcile differences and involve the striker in the club's end of season run-in. A win against Bolton was followed by defeat by Swansea for Manchester City, while victories over Tottenham and West Brom were enough to move Manchester United into pole position. It was also time for an old feud to be forgotten. It was time for pragmatism to overcome what many regarded as the unpalatable. It was time for Carlos Tevez. Media playback is not supported on this device In an effort to boost Manchester City's faltering title challenge, Mancini brought Tevez back into the fold for a crucial clash with Chelsea and, in a fairytale-esque return, he had a hand in the winner, providing the assist for Samir Nasir to fire home with only five minutes remaining to seal a 2-1 win. That closed the gap on United to one point, but Mancini's men failed to build on that as successive draws with Stoke and Sunderland followed, which left them two points behind the defending champions, who had a game in hand over their rivals, heading into the penultimate month of the season. Manchester United's lead at the top of the standings increased further as wins over Blackburn and QPR combined with a damaging 1-0 defeat for Manchester City at Arsenal looked to have effectively secured them the title, with the gap between the two sides an intimidating eight points. The title race is not over yet. City have to go to Newcastle which is going to be a tough game. With two games left, the momentum is with City. But a season that had already served up plenty of twists and turns was not finished just yet as Manchester United suffered a shock 1-0 defeat by fast-improving Wigan, and though they responded with a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa, they twice threw away two-goal leads to draw 4-4 with Everton. Tevez, meanwhile, was making the most of his return to first team action as he scored four goals to help Manchester City to wins over West Brom, Norwich and Wolves, in the process closing the gap on Manchester United to three points. A mouth-watering match between the two sides at Etihad Stadium on 30 April had City needing victory, while Ferguson knew a draw would suit his purposes. That permutation perhaps proved Ferguson's undoing as his team selection suggested he was erring on the side of caution, and a Vincent Kompany header just before half-time was enough to hand City the win they needed to go top on goal difference. A Yaya Toure brace gave Manchester City a 2-0 win at Newcastle and while Manchester United saw off Swansea by the same scoreline, Mancini's men were firmly in the driving seat. The two teams went into the final game of the season level on points, but City's vastly superior goal difference meant a win at home to QPR would guarantee a first Premier League title. United, meanwhile, travelled to Sunderland where they had to better City's result. After 90 nerve-shredding minutes of normal time, it looked like United would be celebrating a 20th league title, leading 1-0 at the Stadium of Light while City trailed 10-man QPR 2-1 at the Etihad. However, two dramatic stoppage time strikes from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero sent the blue half of Manchester into ecstasy and capped off a truly memorable tussle for the title. On Saturday a man brought the animal into a branch of Lidl on the Glenmanus Road in Portrush. John Junk, a book shop owner from Belfast, was in the store while on a camping trip with his family when he saw the unusual customer. He said the man was asked to leave the shop but pointed out that the sign simply said "no dogs" and did not mention sheep. Mr Junk said: "Other shoppers were incredulous, but seeing how we are used to all sorts coming to our book shop it didn't faze my wife and daughter at all." He said he spoke to the man outside the shop who "claimed that his charge was one of triplets, and he'd had her from she was three days old and had saved her from the abattoir". When asked about the incident, a police spokesperson said a man was "arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including common assault and disorderly behaviour, following an altercation at a supermarket in Portrush". He has since been released on bail pending further inquiries." Staff at Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre said the stuffed toy was loaned out last year, but was never returned. Mr Fox is described as wearing a red coat and jodhpurs, and has details of some of the missions he was on written on his leg. The mascot was on more than 30 bombing raids with 106 Squadron, including one the night before D-Day. Visitor centre chairman Andy Marson said the mascot, which belonged to Flt Sgt Bill Hovey, a navigator with the squadron, was a very important part of the airfield's history, He said: "From March 1944 to August 1944 - Flt Sgt Hovey completed some 36 operations - which is quite something - so obviously Mr Fox was quite lucky for him. "Mr Fox is the one surviving crew member from all those operations, and has gone absent without leave, and obviously we want him back." The mascot went missing last summer when he was loaned out for a display, but due to a mix up with the paperwork it is not known who took him. The error came to light as staff were preparing displays for the 2017 season. Mr Marson said: "What's probably happened is he's got packed up after a display and is languishing in a store room somewhere." He is hoping the appeal might jog people's memories. RAF Metheringham, in Lincolnshire, was home to 106 Squadron from 1943 until 1946. During the war, 59 Lancaster bombers and 300 air crew from the base were lost. The top 40 countdown has become part of DJ Greg James' show on BBC Radio 1 every Friday, having been on a Sunday for the past 28 years. The number one song in the revamped singles chart was David Zowie's club anthem House Every Weekend. Ed Sheeran's X has gone to the top spot in the albums chart after being discounted at the start of the week. The move from Sunday to Friday has come after the music industry decided to release all albums and singles on Fridays worldwide. But the time devoted to the top 40 on Radio 1 has been cut to one hour and 45 minutes, compared with the previous three hours. The new chart show will "reflect" the whole top 40 - but will focus on the top 20, according to BBC Radio 1 controller Ben Cooper. Speaking when the changes were announced in March, he said: "The Official Chart Show is currently three hours but if you look at audience figures and you look at where the peaks are in terms of audience listening, you know that obviously the top 20 is more important than the top 40." The station is launching The Number 1 Show, which will be on air from 18:00-19:00 on Sundays, and will feature the top songs from a range of charts such as the top streamed tracks, rock tracks and music videos. The move to co-ordinate global releases means singles and albums will be be released on Fridays in 45 countries. Music was previously released on Mondays in the UK but on Tuesdays in the US and Fridays in Australia. Electro-pop band Years and Years were among the first to take advantage of the simultaneous release day, putting out their debut album Communion on Friday. They did a midnight show and signing session at HMV in London to mark the release, and will fly to the US to promote the album on Jimmy Fallon's NBC chat show next week. Their single Shine entered the new chart at number two. The group's synth player Emre Turkmen said the simultaneous global release was a good thing. "It just makes sense at this point where everyone's so connected all over the globe," he said. "We've got fans in Mexico and Australia and Europe so it makes sense that the timing of the release date is the same for everyone." Gennaro Castaldo, a spokesman for the BPI, which represents British record labels, said: "In this global digital world, music isn't released in isolation depending on which country you're in any more. "If you're a Taylor Swift fan and you're in the UK, you're very conscious that she might be releasing tracks in America before you're getting them in the UK. This has caused a great deal of frustration among fans in recent years. "Quite a bit of research was carried out and the thing that came back consistently from fans was that they want new music ready for the weekend." The charts will not become less relevant as a result, he said. "They still are important to a lot of music fans. "You could argue that Friday is a better day because the listening audience will be bigger and broader as well. "You could have a lot of people at work listening to Radio 1 and a broader age range as well, which could help reconnect people with the chart and new music." The measure to be voted on next week sets a time limit of 60 days on any operation. The draft document also bans the use of any ground forces in Syria. Secretary of State John Kerry said the US had to act after the Assad regime's "undeniable" chemical weapons attack. The Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, endorsed Mr Obama's call for military action. According to a copy of the draft resolution obtained by AFP news agency, the senators wish to restrict the operation to a "limited and tailored use of the United States Armed Forces against Syria". The resolution states that "the president may extend" a 60-day operation "for a single period of 30 days" if he obtains further specific Congressional approval. By Mark MardellNorth America editor "The authority granted... does not authorise the use of the United States Armed Forces on the ground in Syria for the purpose of combat operations," the statement added. The BBC's North America Editor Mark Mardell in Washington says it is by no means the definitive motion, but it is a strong indication of the way committee members are thinking. No 'armchair isolationism' The draft was released after Mr Kerry appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The secretary of state said there was evidence beyond any reasonable doubt that the forces of President Bashar al-Assad prepared for a chemical weapons attack near Damascus on 21 August. Mr Kerry told the senators the President was not asking America to go to war. "He is asking only for the power to make clear, to make certain, that the United States means what we say." Standing aside, he said, would allow other countries to pursue weapons of mass destruction. "This is not the time for armchair isolationism," Mr Kerry added . "This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter.'' By Jonathan MarcusBBC diplomatic correspondent Some elements of the Syrian chemical weapons complex may be buried underground but large parts of it can easily be seen on satellite images. Much of it is reasonably close to populated areas - and this is the problem. Attacking such sites with regular explosive bombs might well wreak considerable damage but it could also open up chemical weapons stocks to the air, disperse them over a large area, and potentially cause large numbers of civilian casualties Can US hit Syria's chemical weapons? US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel and the top US military officer, Gen Martin Dempsey, also appeared before the Senate panel. Mr Hagel said that "the word of the United States must mean something", and echoed Mr Kerry when adding: "A refusal to act would undermine the credibility of America's other security commitments, including the president's commitment to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon." Earlier on Tuesday President Obama met key congressional leaders at the White House. He said a "limited" strike was needed to degrade Syrian government's capabilities in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack. Mr Boehner said he supported Mr Obama's call for action, and that only the US had the capacity to stop President Assad. Mr Boehner urged his colleagues in Congress to follow suit. Tough sell Mr Obama also won the backing of Eric Cantor, the House of Representatives' majority leader. But the BBC's Jane O'Brien, in Washington, says Mr Obama still faces a tough task winning the support of the American people. The latest opinion poll shows public opposition to involvement in the Syrian conflict is growing, with six out of 10 Americans against missile strikes and lawmakers also divided. Mr Obama is now travelling to Sweden, ahead of a G20 meeting in Russia later in the week that is sure to be dominated by Syria. France has strongly backed the US plan for military action. President Francois Hollande said on Tuesday: "When a chemical massacre takes place, when the world is informed of it, when the evidence is delivered, when the guilty parties are known, then there must be an answer." He called for Europe to unite on the issue, but said he would wait for the Congress vote. If Congress did not support military action France "would not act alone", he said. UK Prime Minister David Cameron had also backed Mr Obama, but Parliament rejected a resolution on military action. At the US hearing, Mr Kerry said the possibility of such a defeat in Congress was "too dire" to contemplate. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon had earlier said that the organisation's charter permitted military action only in self defence or with the agreement of the Security Council. Mr Ban said a US military response could create more turmoil, but that if chemical weapons had been used in Syria then the Security Council should unite and take action against what would be "an outrageous war crime". The US has put the death toll from the attack on the outskirts of Damascus on 21 August at 1,429, including 426 children, though other countries and organisations have given lower figures. The Syrian government denies any involvement and blames rebels for the attack. In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro on Monday, President Assad warned that foreign military action could ignite a wider regional conflict. Earlier, the UN refugee agency said that more than two million Syrians were now registered as refugees, after the total went up by a million in the past six months. As well as those who have left the country, a further 4.25 million have been displaced within Syria, the UNHCR says, meaning that more people from Syria are now forcibly displaced than from other country. The UN says this is the worst refugee crisis for 20 years, with numbers not seen since the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. Under the scheme, workers on the list would be paid ??4,000 on a fast-track basis rising to ??20,000 if they can prove discrimination. In more serious cases, up to ??100,000 could be awarded. But the scheme has been denounced as "a PR stunt" by the GMB union. The existence of blacklisting in construction was revealed in 2009. In March of that year, the Information Commissioner's Office uncovered a list drawn up by a firm called the Consulting Association, based in Droitwich. At the time, the ICO seized a database containing the names of 3,213 construction workers and environmental activists used by 44 companies. The Consulting Association (TCA) has since been closed down. The scheme, to be known as The Construction Workers Compensation Scheme (TCWCS), is now accepting applications and will remain open for two years. The companies involved are: Balfour Beatty, Carillion, Costain, Kier, Laing O'Rourke, Sir Robert McAlpine, Skanska UK and Vinci PLC. "All eight companies recognise that the activities of TCA were unacceptable and regret their involvement." said a statement issued by TCWCS. "They are sorry that information was held about individuals and for any hardship suffered as a result." But GMB national officer Justin Bowden said the scheme did not go far enough and said the sums of money involved were "grossly inadequate". "This cut-price compensation offer is not an act of genuine contrition, it is a PR stunt," he said. "The eight companies between them have a turnover of over ??34bn and pre-tax profits of ??1.04bn. They can afford to own up, clean up and pay up." Under the fast-track process, workers whose names appeared on TCA's list are eligible for ??4,000 in compensation, rising to a maximum of ??20,000 "when there is evidence that the records had been accessed to the applicant's detriment". The money will be paid within two weeks. Those who can prove that being blacklisted had an impact on their employment can choose to go in for a full review process, which will take three to six months. Under this part of the scheme, claimants can receive up to ??100,000. The 26-year-old played 43 times for the Welsh side last season, scoring his only goal against Oxford in April. The ex-Colchester, Dagenham and England Under-19 man has made 217 appearances in English football and also had a season with Dutch side VVV-Venlo. "I'm pretty sure we'll be in and around (promotion places) because I know what this squad's capable of," said Elito. He added to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "(Manager) Shaun Derry is very inspirational, just from the talks I've had with him and what he wants from his team. He wants them to work hard and be fit. "He's been at the top level playing for QPR and Crystal Palace and having a manager who's been there and done that, you couldn't ask for any more because he knows what he's talking about." Meanwhile, 22-year-old Danny Carr has left the U's after mutually agreeing to cancel his contract having only made six appearances for them since joining last summer.

A trade union has described the situation as "disgraceful", saying too many employees were paid-off under a Stormont redundancy programme. Department of Finance figures reveal there were 889 agency workers within government departments on 1 January 2017. This compares to 380 in mid-2015 when a voluntary redundancy scheme began. The department said the use of agency workers provided by recruitment firms was "normal policy and practice in any modern large organisation". Up-to-date costs will not be available until April, but they are likely to have been more than £10m in 2016/17. Public sector union Nipsa said 300 permanent, full-time jobs could have been funded instead. Northern Ireland's civil service has shrunk by one fifth - or 5,020 posts - thanks to a pay-off programme funded by Northern Ireland Executive loans from the Treasury. Nipsa deputy general secretary Bumper Graham said: "You are borrowing money, paying interest, and putting people out of work. "Then the next day you are going to a private sector company saying 'we let too many people go, can we hire some of the same people back again'. All round, Northern Ireland is losing." The Department of Finance does not hold data on people who took redundancy and were then re-hired as agency workers, but it is permissible. It said the civil service has seen payroll savings of £152m due to the redundancy programme. It added that a big part of the rise in agency workers was due to a short-term contract for the Department of Work and Pensions. This alone involved 385 agency workers. Kirsty Williams said the party had helped bring "order" to the UK's economic chaos by going into coalition with the Conservatives in 2010. She told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme that this did not stop her opposing policies "detrimental" to Wales such as regional pay. "No man in London tells me what to do," she said. Officers sealed off part of Scarrel Road on Tuesday afternoon. Jamie Lee, 22, died after a "targeted attack" during a large-scale incident in nearby Ballantay Terrace on Saturday. Five other men were injured. A Police Scotland spokesman said he was unable to confirm if the latest incident was linked. Detectives, who earlier issued a photo of Mr Lee, are treating his death as murder. A 62-year-old man was shot and four others received more minor injuries during the incident near a play park at about 20:00 on Saturday. Police said it had involved up to 15 people. It is believed the men involved were known to one another and sought each other out in targeted attacks. It is understood no firearms were involved in the incident on Tuesday. Tavare's innings was ended by Gavin Griffiths (4-101), but Phil Mustard (72), Jack Taylor and David Payne (54no) helped boost the total. They declared on 466-8 and David Payne and Luke Norwell then took two wickets each to pile on the pressure. Colin Ackermann retired hurt because of a hand injury as Leicestershire reached the close on 165-6. After slumping to 14-3, with Neil Dexter going for a third-ball duck, they staged a partial recovery as Mark Pettini (54) and Mark Cosgrove (48) added 102. Both departed before the close, along with Ben Raine, who was caught behind off Craig Miles. Earlier, Tavare achieved his fifth first-class ton in slightly over six hours, facing 272 balls before losing his middle stump. Sadie Jenkins, 28, of Newport, attacked them while in a drug-induced trance after prolonged amphetamine abuse. She was cleared of two counts of attempted murder on the grounds of insanity. At Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, Miss Jenkins was handed the order, which requires drug testing at least once a week. Her trial heard Miss Jenkins was psychotic and out of touch with reality when she attacked the children with a 6in (15cm) kitchen knife on 7 May 2014. After wounding the children, she used the knife on herself and later told doctors: "The voices told me to do it". In the hours before the attack, she was convinced she been sent a "secret message" via US TV show CSI. The court heard the children were attacked with a steak knife while Miss Jenkins was "in the grip of a psychosis, induced by your past illegal drug taking". Mrs Justice Carr described the case as a "tragedy" and said Miss Jenkins would take amphetamines on a daily basis and there was "no excuse" for her drug abuse. She added: "They [the children] will be physically and emotionally scarred forever. "Because of your psychosis, you did not know what you were doing was wrong." The court was told that medical experts said she did not require treatment in hospital and that Miss Jenkins has fully recovered from her psychosis. "Providing you remain drug-free and mentally stable, you present a low risk of re-offending," said Mrs Justice Carr. Miss Jenkins has taken several drug tests since her arrest and has tested negative every time. Canon Jonathan Draper, who is currently Canon Theologian at York Minster, will succeed Jonathan Meyrick, in the position. Canon Draper said he hoped to make the cathedral more accessible to people in the city. He also said he supported the Occupy Exeter protest movement and wanted to be involved in its debates and discussions. Canon Draper was born in Boston in the US and studied at Durham University. He was ordained in 1983 and served in Manchester, Putney and York. He also worked as a lecturer in theology at the University of Oxford. Canon Draper said he was "very excited about coming to Exeter - to a beautiful cathedral, a vibrant city, and a county with many riches to explore". "I am also really pleased to be coming to a city with a Premiership rugby team and a county with such fantastic countryside to walk in." Canon Draper said he supported the Occupy Exeter protest movement which set up a tent community on Cathedral Green in mid-November. "I think they're taking the right approach, there's no need for confrontation or getting heavy handed. "The issues they raise are really important to us as a society and I think we need to take them seriously. "We also need to help them to find ways to move on and to make the protest and the debate they've generated a bit more fruitful. "It is my hope that the cathedral will continue to be able to offer spiritual sustenance and be a place where the great issues of our time can be thoughtfully and creatively addressed." Canon Draper is expected to be in position by Easter. The continents are converging; and for many millions of years, the northern edge of the African tectonic plate has descended under Europe. But this process has stalled; and at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) meeting last week, scientists said we may be seeing Europe taking a turn. If they are correct, this would signal the start of a new subduction zone - a rare event, scientifically fascinating. Beneath the Mediterranean Sea, the cold, dense rock at the extreme north of the African plate has virtually all sunk under the Eurasian plate on which Europe sits. But the African landmass is too light to follow suit and descend. "Africa won't sink, but Africa and Europe continue to move together; so where is this taken up?" asked Rinus Wortel from the University of Utrecht. "It looks possible that on the appropriate timescale, we are witnessing the beginning of subduction of Europe under Africa," he told BBC News. The Mediterranean Sea's geological structure and history are quite complex. The Utrecht group's analysis goes like this: The slow convergence - just a few centimetres per year - was obstructed partially by collision of the two plates further East, in Turkey, and then by the fact that the lightness of the African continent prevented further subduction. As a result, bits of the African plate that did subduct have broken off and are descending to the Earth's mantle. To fill this gap, bits of the Eurasian plate have been pulled southwards across the Mediterranean, such as the Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia. The same thing is happening with Crete. And computer modelling suggests the end product of all this could be the initiation of subduction in the opposite direction from the past. Additional evidence comes from observations of earthquakes. "We see what motion occurs in the earthquakes, and we see that the fault planes dip towards the South," said Professor Wortel. Although the power of subduction zones to generate enormous events has been thrown into stark light once more by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami off the Japanese coast, the geology of the Mediterranean is very different. Nevertheless, there is some concern among scientists that European countries are putting only small amounts of money into building a tsunami warning system for the region. At the EGU, Stefano Tinti from the University of Bologna, Italy, said the EU collectively had put only about 8m euros into tsunami research over the last five years. Over the same period, Germany alone funded the Indonesian early warning system to the tune of about 55m euros, he said. "There was interest just after [the Asian tsunami of] 2004, and then interest rapidly decreased again," Professor Tinti, who until recently chaired an intergovernmental co-ordination group on tsunami in Europe, told reporters. "It's very political; and putting together all these member states in order to co-operate and put money in - even though the sums are very small, was a very difficult task." Although tsunamigenic earthquakes in the Mediterranean are smaller than the biggest ones around the Pacific rim, Magnitude 8 events have been recorded, such as the 1303 Crete quake whose tsunami devastated Heraklion and Alexandria. Confirmation that European subduction had started could allow scientists to model the region better, and so make better assessments of earthquake and tsunami risk. But the long timescales involved in geological processes make this a challenge. "We'll keep track of the seismic activity to see whether it continues to indicate this underthrusting of the Mediterranean subsurface underneath North Africa," said Rinus Wortel. "But it's not going to mature in the lifetime of a scientist." The home side started with confidence but went behind after 24 minutes when Mark Cullen struck a fine shot past Josh Vickers from the edge of the box. The Bees responded terrifically, Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro finding Sam Slocombe and then a post between him and the goal. Alex Nicholls went closest to a first-half equaliser hammering a 20-yard shot against the crossbar with the keeper well beaten. Barnet boss Martin Allen threw on Luke Gambin after the break and they continued to dominate, effectively playing four across the front. Brad Potts should have doubled the lead on the hour mark though when clean through but could only hit a post. Nicholls drew a stunning one-handed save in the last minute of normal time from Slocombe but John Akinde delighted the home support with a volley from close range in the fourth minute of injury time to break Blackpool's epic resistance.

The lower house voted 317-199 to adopt the package of measures. There were 51 abstentions. As well as enshrining emergency powers in the constitution, the package of measures would allow terror convicts to be stripped of their citizenship. But the vote still has to jump several hurdles before it passes into law. It needs support from the Senate and will then have to be approved by a two-thirds vote of a joint session of parliament, which is likely to take weeks or months. Nonetheless, it is a significant victory for the French government, which had faced opposition from leading voices, some among its own ranks, say correspondents. Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he was "satisfied" with the result and that he was confident senators would also approve the changes. Justice Minister Christian Taubira resigned last month in protest at the measures. Critics say the proposal to strip those convicted of terror offences of their French citizenship could only apply to people with a second nationality, which would make two tiers of citizenship. President Francois Hollande outlined the changes in the aftermath of the gun and bomb attacks by Islamist militants who targeted a concert hall, a major stadium, restaurants and bars - leaving 130 people dead and hundreds more wounded. The so-called Islamic State group said it was behind the attacks. Seven suspects blew themselves up during the attacks, with two more dying in a police raid days afterwards. Key suspect Salah Abdeslam has been on the run since the attacks. Also on Wednesday, the Bataclan concert hall, where 89 people died, said in a statement it was aiming to host events again by the end of 2016, AP reports. France has attacked militants in Mali to support the Malian government, and has attempted to rescue a French hostage in Somalia, in recent days. The UK is to provide two transport planes but No 10 stressed no UK troops would be deployed in a combat role. Minister for Africa Mark Simmonds has indicated British personnel could play a role in training the Malian army. He said the UK was only providing "very limited strategic tactical support" in the form of two C-17 transport planes, in response to a French request. "There are no plans to extend the UK's military at the moment but there are discussions that are taking place that we're waiting for scrutiny from Parliament to, through the European Union, provide training support for the African Union and Ecowas [Economic Community Of West African States] to enable them to give the training they require to push the Islamists out of the northern part of Mali," Mr Simmonds told the BBC News Channel. The move to transport foreign troops and equipment was agreed in a phone call between Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Hollande, Downing Street said. "The prime minister spoke to President Hollande this evening to discuss the deteriorating situation... and how the UK can support French military assistance provided to the Malian government to contain rebel and extremist groups in the north of the country," a spokeswoman said. "The prime minister has agreed that the UK will provide logistical military assistance to help transport foreign troops and equipment quickly... "We will not be deploying any British personnel in a combat role. They also agreed that the peacekeeping mission from West African countries needs to be strongly supported by countries in the region and deployed as quickly as possible. "Both leaders agreed that the situation in Mali poses a real threat to international security given terrorist activity there." The government's National Security Council (NSC) will discuss the situation when it meets on Tuesday. Meanwhile, President Hollande has ordered security is stepped up around French public buildings and transport following the operations in Mali and Somalia. French troops were deployed in Mali on Friday after its army lost control of a strategically-important town to Islamists who were advancing south. The rebels took control of a huge swathe of northern Mali last April. The central town of Konna has since been recaptured, the Malian government says. Then, French commandos went into action in Somalia, swooping on the town of Bulo Marer in an attempt to free Denis Allex, who was kidnapped in July 2009. A battle erupted with al-Shabab militants and, according to President Hollande, the operation failed "despite the sacrifice of two of our soldiers and probably the assassination of our hostage". Officers were called to the Tesco store on Altrincham Road in Baguley at about 18:45 BST on Monday, following reports a baby had been hit. Mother Amy Duckers said it was the first time the family had taken baby Elsie Rose out since she was born. A 63-year-old arrested on suspicion of assault is currently in custody being questioned by officers. Ms Duckers said the suspect had apologised and said he thought the baby was a doll. Ms Duckers was showing her new daughter off to friends and neighbours in the store with her partner Lewis Temple, and her seven-year-old daughter, Libby. She said a neighbour saw a work colleague who was with her husband, and it is alleged he came over and punched the baby, leaving a "very big fist mark" on her forehead. The "mortified" parents called security and the baby girl was taken to hospital as a precaution. She has since been discharged. Ms Duckers praised Tesco staff at the store saying the way they had dealt with the situation was "amazing". A spokesman for the store said: "We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear about this traumatic incident and our thoughts are with baby Elsie, Amy and her family. "We're grateful for Amy's kind comments about our colleagues who we commend for their actions and we will be assisting the police with their investigation." The tiny computer was originally supposed to have been given to one million schoolchildren last October. The corporation said it now planned to start giving teachers their own units just after the half-term holidays, to help them plan classes. It added it was "pushing to deliver as many as possible" to pupils before the term's end but could not be more specific about how many or when. The idea behind the project has been widely praised, but some teachers are concerned they will no longer have enough time to do it justice this school year. The Micro Bit is designed to run code written by children that will let them display text and patterns on its 25 LEDs and make use of its built-in sensors. The idea is that they will be able to create simple games they can play on the device. In addition, they can physically connect it to other hardware or link it up to a smartphone via Bluetooth to carry out more complex functions. The BBC has promised to give one to every child in Year 7 or equivalent. Last September, it revealed a problem with the power supply had caused a delay, adding teachers would receive the device before the end of 2015 and children "early in the new year". But on Wednesday, at the Bett education trade show in London, the BBC said its timetable had slipped again. "The main issue has been some fine-tuning," BBC Learning executive Cerys Griffiths said. "We have created hardware, it's very complex, it's very sophisticated, it's very new. "What we were really hoping for was that the teachers would get their devices before Christmas. "But our commitment to teachers has always been that we would get them the devices first to give them time to play and get familiar with them." Some schools have been given prototype Micro Bits. Emily Rowland, a teacher at Manchester's Fairfield High School for Girls, said even the least able of her pupils had been able to use them to show smiley-face graphics. But she added the delay to the proper rollout was causing concern. "Some teachers get panicked by the idea that they can only use them for six weeks of the summer term and haven't even seen one yet," she said. "Quite a lot of schools will struggle to put them in place this summer, and some will have to put it off until the next school year, and then the issue is who do you give the freebies to?" Another computing teacher, Steve Richards, from Eastlea Community School, in London, had a more positive view of events. "I understand the frustration of other teachers, because it is this wonderful thing that is slightly out of reach," he said. "But judging by the kind of things we have been able to do with [the prototypes], it will be worth the wait." Although the hardware may be delayed, there is already software available to give children a chance to start coding in advance of receiving their micro-computers: To help offset any disappointment, the BBC has also promised to release more copies of the device than it had originally planned, meaning some children in other school years should also receive one. Ms Griffiths also stressed that just because the Year 7 pupils would receive the Micro Bits later than had originally been hoped, that would not mean their time with the devices needed to be more limited. "This device was never intended for just for one year," she said. "Each child will own their own device, so we are hoping they will use them during the summer holidays. "And we will have loads of activities and stimulus for them to use into Year 8, so it won't be just for one term." Police were called to the Thickthorn roundabout on the A11 near Norwich shortly after 12:30 BST after reports the 30-tonne truck was missing. Six squad cars and a helicopter were involved amid reports the vehicle was being driven dangerously. The truck was stopped in Brandon, Suffolk and a man in his 30s arrested at about 14:30 BST. The dumper was driven along the A11 to Thetford before turning north on the A134 towards Mundford. Police said the two-hour pursuit continued in the Santon Downham area until the truck was stopped in Brandon on Bury Road. Police said the man had been taken into custody for questioning. The helicopter was from the National Police Air Service. Pritchard joined the Black and Whites from Canterbury Bulldogs on a two-year contract in June 2015, making 26 appearances last season. The 33-year-old, who started his career with Penrith, has represented Samoa and New Zealand at international level. Hull won the Challenge Cup last season and made the Super League play-offs, losing to Wigan in the semi-finals. Short-term uncertainty caused by leaving the EU could tighten credit conditions and push up mortgage rates, according to Treasury analysis. The Leave campaign said Mr Cameron's "bogeyman" claims were "desperate". Meanwhile, Vote Leave's Michael Gove and Boris Johnson warned of the "real" economic risks of remaining in the EU. They said voters "cannot trust" the government's promise that the UK will not contribute to a possible future bailout of a eurozone country. A referendum on the UK's membership of the EU will be held on 23 June. Britain Stronger In Europe, supported by David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne, said Treasury analysis suggested voting to leave the EU could add £920 to the annual cost of the average mortgage. It said analysis - first revealed earlier in the campaign - had shown mortgage rates could rise by 70 basis points, meaning a mortgage with an interest rate of 1.5% would rise to 2.2%. How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU. Such a rise for an average property costing £292,000 would result in a payment increase of £75 per month, pushing up annual payments by £920 a year. First time buyers could expect to pay £810 more per year, Remain added, making it harder for people to get on the housing ladder. Mr Cameron told the Mail on Sunday: "Nearly all experts agree there will be instant shocks to the economy if we leave the EU and there is clear and present danger of higher mortgage rates." In an interview with the Sunday Times, Mr Osborne said: "If we quit the EU the country would be poorer, there would be volatility in the financial markets and that would push up mortgage costs irrespective of what the Bank of England might do with official interest rates." There was "a clear consensus" amongst economists that leaving the EU would result in a rise in mortgage rates, the Remain campaign added. However, Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Vote Leave said it was "desperate stuff for the PM to run down people's mortgages in his bid to win the referendum". "Even the most pro-EU campaigners have admitted the economy will grow after we Vote Leave so bogeyman claims about mortgages are just the latest act of desperation from the remain campaign fast losing the plot and public," he said. It is not the first time the Remain campaign has warned about the cost of mortgages rising in the event of a Leave vote. Last month, Mr Osborne said a vote to leave the EU would cause an "immediate economic shock" that could hold back growth in house prices. By Tom Bateman, BBC political correspondent The early days of this campaign saw an air war waged between the two sides over the economy, in which the Remain team were more recently declaring victory. They repeatedly pointed to the majority of economists backing their case and used the rapid-fire line that - on the economy - Leave have "lost the argument". The claims on mortgage rates rising after Brexit are not new. Yet the £920 figure - extrapolated from a Treasury document released earlier in the campaign - is a fresh grenade lobbed towards their opponents. But it appears to have done little to stop Vote Leave returning to fight hard over this crucial campaign ground. The campaign's claims on Eurozone bailouts and trade deals outside the EU may have been ridiculed by their rivals but they tell us one thing; the shelling over the economy is back on. Meanwhile, in a letter to Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne, leading Vote Leave campaigners said remaining in the EU would tie Britain's economy to a eurozone "crisis" which was a "danger to Britain". Justice minister Mr Gove, former London Mayor Mr Johnson, and Gisela Stuart, MP for Birmingham Edgbaston, warned the UK would not be protected from future potential bailouts of eurozone countries. "The eurozone institutions remain broken and have been unable to cope with the euro's crisis," they wrote. "Despite writing a promise of 'no bail-outs' into the EU Treaties, there have been massive bailouts." They added: "The public cannot trust EU or Government promises that we won't be paying for Eurozone bailouts given the history and how we can be outvoted." Remain campaigners dismissed the letter as "reckless nonsense". A Remain spokesman said: "As any credible expert will tell you, this letter from Leave is reckless nonsense - they are now guilty of actively misleading the British people. "We have clear guarantees we will not contribute to bail outs and protections against eurozone integration." The government has previously said a legally binding agreement is in place to protect UK taxpayers' money from future rescue packages. On Saturday, Mr Johnson said around 300,000 jobs would be created if Britain leaves the EU. At a rally in London's Olympic Park, Mr Johnson said: "After we liberate ourselves from the shackles of Brussels we will be able to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs right across the UK." However, Labour's Chuka Umunna, campaigning for the UK to remain in the EU, said the job claim was "embarrassing", adding: "If you want see more jobs in the UK, you should vote to remain in Europe." Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock also called for young people to register to vote in the EU referendum, as a low turnout could lead to Brexit "by default". His message at a London rally came as he and five fellow former Labour leaders tried to persuade the party's supporters to vote to remain in Europe. Doherty, 24, has provided three assists in three games and also scored a 94th-minute winner against Bristol City. "That's what happens when you're in the team and get successive games," he told BBC WM. "I was out of it earlier in the season a bit, which was frustrating. "I thought to myself when I got in that I would do my best not to let it go even though it was at left-back." Following the sale of left-back Scott Golbourne to Bristol City in January, Doherty has worked his way back into Wolves' back line and has started the last 16 games in all competitions. He continued: "I always back myself and I'm quite comfortable to be able to change from right-back to left-back. My left foot is not the strongest but I can be clever by going round somebody or using the right side of my foot. "We've got quite a young team but we have a talented team as well. Our bench [against Bristol City] wasn't full of experienced first teamers and neither was our starting 11." Doherty has made more than 100 appearances for the club and now has the chance to utilise his experience in a young Wolves set-up. "He's an asset for us as he's been strong defensively and the most important thing for Matt is that he's 24 and it has to be his time. He's had spells in the team before but I want him to come through and be a leader for us," boss Kenny Jackett said. "There's not many experienced players at the club and he was one of the older players out there in the second half [in the win against Bristol City] and he has to step up now and build on the good work he's done and be one of the players that leads Wolves." Stuart Powell hit the jackpot on the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw almost four years to the day of his previous Lotto win. The father-of-three said he did not intend to buy a ticket for that day. "The lady in the shop got her dates mixed up and I'm so glad she did," said the 50-year-old. Mr Powell from Featherstone, South Staffordshire, said he will give all the money to his wife Denise, 44 and their three sons, Matthew, 26, Adam, 25 and Nathan, 20. Back in 2011 Mr Powell matched five numbers and the bonus ball on the Lotto. The latest win came via a Millionaire Maker code on a lucky dip ticket. It was secured after a shop assistant at the Co-op, Boley Park, Lichfield, sold Mr Powell a ticket for 24 November - not 20 November as requested. He said: "I won £55,464 on 30 November 2011, my birthday, and gave all of it away to my children and wife. I intend to do exactly the same with this million. "I'm going to buy the kids a house each and my elderly father a car. Denise wants a Range Rover Evoque and me, well, I'm not bothered as long as they are happy." The couple had already booked to go to Lanzarote to celebrate his 50th birthday so they hid the winning ticket in their safe while they were away. Mr Powell said it was only on their return that they collected the cheque and the dream became a reality. He said: "The timing couldn't be better with Christmas around the corner. Maybe when I sit at the table on Christmas Day it may start to sink in. To think I have won twice…it's just unbelievable…the stuff of dreams!" The scheme is said to have earned the gang as much as $90m (£52m) per tournament and could have been operating for four World Cups. Some of the tickets seized were meant for sponsors, while others had been allocated to Brazil team officials. Police believe some of the tickets were sold to foreign tourists. Twenty simultaneous search warrants were enforced on Tuesday morning in an operation named "Jules Rimet". Jules Rimet was a president of the international football governing body, Fifa, and initiated the World Cup tournament in 1929. The original World Cup trophy - given to Brazil in perpetuity after their third World Cup triumph in 1970, and subsequently stolen - was named after him. The BBC's Wyre Davies, in Rio de Janeiro, says police were reportedly investigating the gang's operations in Brazil for the last three months ahead of the raids. Among items seized during the arrests were 100 tickets, computers, US dollars, mobile phones and documents. Police said the man they suspect of being the leader of the gang, Mohamadou Lamine Fofana, was an Algerian national who "had free access to restricted Fifa areas". Fabio Barucke, a senior police officer involved in the investigation, said that there were "clues which lead us to believe he could have ties to someone from Fifa". "His car had a sticker which gave him access to any private Fifa event", Mr Barucke explained. According to Mr Barucke, the suspects confessed to running the scam at four World Cups. "The gang goes to the host country. It's possible that they only work during the World Cups as their profit is so large they can sit back in between Cups." Those arrested could face charges of money laundering, criminal association and illegally selling tickets. Alexandre Bissonnette faces six counts of first-degree murder and five of attempted murder. The 27-year-old briefly appeared in a Quebec City court over Sunday evening's attack, during evening prayers at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre. Vigils have been held across Canada to commemorate those killed and injured. More than 50 people were at the mosque when the shooting erupted just before 20:00 on Sunday. Nineteen people were wounded - all men - and of five people still in hospital, two were in a critical condition. Quebec provincial police have released the names of all six victims who were killed: Quebec attack: Who were the victims? Quebec Muslims 'emotionally destroyed' Who is Alexandre Bissonnette? Mr Bissonnette did not enter a plea as he appeared in court on Monday, wearing a white prison-issue jump suit, his hands and feet shackled. The suspect was arrested in his car on a bridge leading from Quebec City to Ile d'Orleans, where he called police to say he wanted to co-operate with the authorities. According to local media, Mr Bissonnette studied political science and anthropology at Laval University, whose campus is about 3km (two miles) away from the mosque. Francois Deschamps, an official with an advocacy group, Welcome to Refugees, said the suspect was known for his far-right views. Mr Bissonnette was "unfortunately known to many activists in Quebec for taking nationalist, pro-Le Pen and anti-feminist positions at Laval University and on social media," Mr Deschamps posted on the organisation's Facebook page. A man of Moroccan heritage who was also arrested after the attack, Mohamed Khadir, is now being treated as a witness. Thousands of people, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, braved the cold at a vigil near the mosque to lay flowers and candles that flickered in the snow. The streets were packed tight, and residents flowed by foot from the streets surrounding the mosque as police still blocked the roads to cars directly around the site of the attack. Few carried signs but those that did called for unity among Quebecers. "Tous unis", French for "all together", was a popular phrase. Ali Dahan, one of many who came to pay his respects, said the vigil sent a strong message against intolerance. "Such racist people can affect all possibility of progress," he said. "But they lose because you see all the people out here today and they show their solidarity." The vigil was a balm for the Muslim community, which has sometimes felt it bears the brunt of political rhetoric in the province. Mr Trudeau and Mr Couillard both described the shooting as a terrorist attack. Addressing the more than one million Muslims who live in Canada, Mr Trudeau said: "We are with you. "Thirty-six million hearts are breaking with yours. Know that we value you." The shooting came amid heightened global tensions over Mr Trump's travel ban on immigration from seven Muslim countries. On Tuesday the US administration pointed to the Quebec attack as further justification for the new president's policies. "We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms," White House spokesman Sean Spicer said. "It's a terrible reminder of why we must remain vigilant and why the president is taking steps to be pro-active, rather than reactive when it comes to our nation's safety and security." The mosque has been a target of hate crimes in the past, including last summer when a pig's head was left on its doorstep during Ramadan. Mohamed Labidi, vice-president of the Islamic centre, said the victims had been shot in the back. "Security at our mosque was our major, major concern," Mr Labidi said tearfully. "But we were caught off-guard." The predominantly French-speaking province of Quebec has welcomed thousands of immigrants from Arab countries and other nations. But there has been a longstanding debate over the "reasonable accommodation" of immigrants and religious minorities. Alberta witnessed a political earthquake last night. Premier Jim Prentice and the ruling Progressive Conservatives went down to defeat to Rachel Notley and the New Democratic Party. The PCs were a political dynasty that had governed Alberta since 1971. But the party won only 11 seats (a drop of 59) to finish third. Meanwhile, the NDP skyrocketed from four seats to 53, enabling it to form a government here for the first time. This reflected a major political shift as the province went from an established centre-right party to an inexperienced centre-left party. Alberta, the major oil producing province in Canada, has been the country's major economic engine for several years. However, the precipitous drop in the price of oil created a $7bn Canadian dollar (£3.8bn) hole in the province's finances. Mr Prentice decided to base his campaign on a budget that increased taxes/fees (except for corporations), slightly cut government spending, and ran a C$5bn deficit. However, this budget angered many Albertans who responded by electing Ms Notley who campaigned with a different vision. Ms Notley promised to raise corporate income taxes and personal income taxes on the wealthy, conduct a royalty review aimed at capturing more of the resource wealth for the province, and reinvest in health and education. In the waning days of the campaign, the Alberta business community launched attacks against the NDP, threatening job losses, disinvestment, and the moving of corporate head offices, if the NDP was elected. These attacks did not work, and likely backfired by creating more public support for the NDP. In the hours since Ms Notley's victory, the warnings from downtown Edmonton and Calgary have continued, setting up a clash between the business class and the newly elected NDP. But Ms Notley is a pragmatist. Even with her tax increases, Alberta will continue to have the lowest taxes in Canada. On energy policy, despite the campaign rhetoric, there was plenty of common ground with the former Prentice government. Ms Notley has acknowledged that Alberta is an energy economy and she supports some pipelines to get Alberta crude to market (such as the Energy East pipeline to Saint John, New Brunswick), but opposes others as not realistic (the Northern Gateway to Kitimat, BC and the Keystone XL to US refineries along the Gulf of Mexico). On royalties, Ms Notley says that while she wants to review all aspects of the royalty regime, she would only raise rates when the price of oil and natural gas rises. Finally, Ms Notley has promised tougher environmental standards for the oil sands and the phasing out of coal plants for electricity. Both of those items are similar to previous statements that Prentice had made. Ms Notley's victory in Alberta will have an impact on the Fall 2015 federal election. Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair will hope to capitalize on Ms Notley's success by electing more NDP members (they currently hold only one seat in Alberta). In addition, he will try to convince other Canadians that if Alberta - the most right wing province - can elect an NDP government maybe Canada can too. On the other hand, Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper is more popular in Alberta than Prentice was. In addition, the federal Conservatives are a united party, while in Alberta conservatives choose between two parties (the PCs and the Wildrose Party). So while the federal NDP may pick up an additional couple of seats the vast majority of Alberta's 34 seats will continue to go Conservative. Mr Bratt is a politics professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary. A large mob attacked union stewards with machetes and sharp objects at the Anglo American Platinum mine. Security guards fired rubber bullets at the mob, injuring nine miners. Four guards were also wounded in the fight. Last August, Rustenburg was the scene of violent wildcat strikes, during which police shot dead 34 miners. The bloodshed at the Marikana mine was the most deadly police action since South Africa became a democracy in 1994 and sparked national outrage. No officers were involved in Monday's incident, police spokesman Thulani Ngubane confirmed to the BBC. The stand-off is thought to have taken place between the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) - allied to the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party - and the militant Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu). They may have been fighting over the occupancy of union offices at the Anglo American Platinum's Siphumelele mine shaft in Rustenburg, 100km (60 miles) north-west of Johannesburg, Mr Ngubane said. "Mine security intervened and fired rubber bullets, and in the process a total of 13 mine workers, including four security guards [were injured]," Mr Ngubane said. Some of the people injured were hacked with machetes and sharp objects, he added. Three of the wounded miners are believed to be in a critical condition. Last year, wildcat strikes and violent unrest over wages spread to a number of mines across South Africa, the world's largest platinum producer. Rhodri Glyn Thomas warned that the Welsh Government could "penalise those who have been successful" in resolving workers' disputes. He said the library dealt with the issue of weekend working 12 years ago. The National Museum said they are "still seeking a solution" to the strike. The comments came as the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) strike enters its second month. Mr Thomas, a former heritage minister, told BBC Wales' Newyddion 9 programme: "Where's the money going to come from? "Is the Welsh Government going to reward failure and penalise those who have been successful? It raises a number of issues, but ultimately the Welsh Government have to have a strategy in terms of national institutions." The strike has affected museum sites across Wales. The wool museum at Drefach Felindre and the slate museum in Llanberis have been the most consistent to close. Since indefinite action was announced at the end of April, between 180 and 190 workers have not worked at all. Since the assembly election the Welsh Government has been part of the negotiations to settle the dispute - with the PCS believing that those discussions would pave the way to an agreement. But it has not happened so far. In a statement, the National Museum said: "We have met with the Welsh Government and the PCS over recent weeks to try and reach an agreement and bring the dispute over weekend working allowances (Premium Payments) to a conclusion. "Though the meetings were useful, giving all parties an opportunity to set out their position, it was clearly communicated at the end of those discussions that no agreement had yet been reached. "We are still seeking a solution and we hope to reach an agreement that is acceptable for all parties soon." The Welsh Government did not respond to Mr Thomas' comments, but confirmed that Heritage Minister Ken Skates recently met with representatives from the PCS and the museum. Cato Berntsen Larsen climbed feet-first into the public facility after his friend dropped the phone while urinating. Mr Berntsen Larsen said he had volunteered to enter the tank, which is not connected to the sewer and which is only emptied once a season. The 20-year-old became sick as he stood thigh-deep in its contents, and had to spend an hour completely enclosed in the small area. "I panicked because I hate confined spaces," he told Norwegian newspaper VG. "It was damn disgusting - the worst I have experienced. There were animals down there too." To make matters worse, Mr Berntsen Larsen quickly threw up after entering the tank, which was standing room only. The unfortunate turn of events had begun when Mr Berntsen Larsen's friend shouted for help to get his phone back. "I did not think twice," Mr Berntsen Larsen said about his decision to go in. But the amateur diver immediately realised he was stuck. He later described himself as "apparently thin enough to go down but not thin enough to come up again". Firefighters were forced to destroy the toilet, which is now out of service. Mr Berntsen Larsen sustained injuries to his upper arms and said he believed he had been bitten several times. He was treated at hospital and given antibiotics. He was not successful in retrieving the phone. Conlon gave the visitors the lead when he powered a left-foot shot into the top corner from the edge of the box. Aaron O'Connor set up Conlon to tap in his second, before Billy Paynter's volley reduced the deficit for Pools. Paynter had a shot cleared off the line as the hosts pushed for an equaliser, but Boro held on for their first win under caretaker manager Darren Sarll. Stevenage move 11 points clear of the relegation places, while the home side remain second from bottom, four points adrift of safety. Bell, 24, kicked 19 points as Irish won the first leg of their Championship play-off final against Yorkshire Carnegie 29-18 on Wednesday. The Exiles are hoping to make an immediate return to the top flight after relegation last season. "Hopefully we can give the fans the reward next week," Bell told BBC Sport. He added: "It's been a tough year for them and they've come out in their numbers to support us." Despite Irish holding an 11-point lead going into the return leg at the Madejski Stadium, Bell is prepared for another tough test against Yorkshire. "We know the job's only half done," the former Leicester Tigers player said. "We've had some great battles this season with Yorkshire, we've got one more to go and we're really looking forward to it." Bell agreed his move to Irish before their relegation was confirmed last season and, having scored 229 points so far in the Championship campaign, he is hungry to get back to the top flight. "As a still youngish player, I want to play at the highest level for as long as I can, play against the best players in the country and compete at the level," he said. "That's the goal for us as players at the club and it would be a huge deal to put it back up where it belongs." Hutchinson led the Superbikes with a lap of just under 18 minutes on his Tyco BMW, a speed of 125.839mph. Michael Dunlop was second at 125.68 on a Suzuki in less than ideal conditions, with damp patches around the circuit. Hutchinson set 121.15 on his Supersport Yamaha, followed by Dunlop on 121.020, with Michael Rutter fastest Superstock. Rutter recorded an average lap speed of 124.117 on his BMW, with New Zealander Bruce Anstey close behind with 123.722 on the Padgett's Honda. The Midlands rider also topped the the Lightweight class for Supertwins at 113.946 on board a Paton machine, while Ivan Lintin was second with 113.856. The roads were beginning to dry after rain earlier in the day by the time practice got underway at 18:20 BST. All the riders were keen to reacquaint themselves with the Mountain Course and get some vital set-up time for their bikes after the first two scheduled sessions on Saturday and Monday had to be cancelled because of adverse weather conditions. The practice leaderboard already has a familiar look about it with Hutchinson, a treble winner in 2016, and Dunlop, who secured a double last year, stamping their authority on proceedings. Manxman Dan Kneen produced a blistering lap of 124.64 to occupy third place in the first Superbike outing. Another Manx competitor, Dave Molyneux, with passenger Dan Sayle, dominated the sidecars with a lap of 114.09mph on his third circuit of the night. Practicing is scheduled to continue on Wednesday, with further sessions on Thursday and Friday, before racing is due to get underway on Saturday with the six-lap Superbike opener, won by Dunlop 12 months ago. Fastest Monday practice speeds Superbike - 1 Ian Hutchinson (BMW) 125.84mph; 2 Michael Dunlop (Suzuki) 125.68; 3 Dan Kneen (BMW) 124.64 Superstock - 1 Michael Rutter (BMW) 124.12; 2 Bruce Anstey (Honda) 123.72; 3 Conor Cummins (Honda) 121.18 Supersport - 1 Ian Hutchinson (Yamaha) 121.15; 2 Michael Dunlop (Yamaha) 121.020; 3 Gary Johnson 120.311 (Triumph) Supertwins - 1 Michael Rutter (Paton) 113.95; 2 Ivan Lintin (Kawasaki) 113.86; 3 Dan Cooper (Kawasaki) 111.83 Sidecars - 1 Dave Molyneux/Dan Sayle (Yamaha) 114.09mph; 2 Ben Birchall/Tom Birchall (Honda) 110.92; 3 Peter Founds/Jevan Walmsley (Suzuki) 110.43 Konta reached the quarter-finals last year before losing to eventual winner Belinda Bencic. The fans will get to enjoy some "world-class tennis" said Konta, as she returns to her home town. Watson will be looking to repeat her 2015 grass-court form which saw her one game from defeating Serena Williams. "They are two of the best players this country has seen and the crowd will really enjoy getting behind them," said tournament director Gavin Fletcher. Entries for the tournament, which runs from 18-25 June, are to close this week with further high-profile names expected to be added. Watson has lost 6-4 6-2 to the Czech Republic's Barbora Strycova in round two of the Italian Open on Wednesday. Konta faces Italy's Roberta Vinci at the same stage.

The firm said it planned to buy another 19-seat aircraft to add to the six Skybus planes it runs to St Mary's. A ferry would also travel from Penzance every day next summer, it added. British International Helicopters is to stop its year-round service from Penzance on 31 October after running into financial problems. The Isles of Scilly Steamship Company operates both the Skybus planes and Penzance ferry services. The Scillonian ferry currently runs for only seven months a year and the Skybuses are weather dependent. The company said it was planning to increase the size of its air passenger terminal at Land's End, and that a new control tower would make flights less weather dependent. Patrick Rice took up the new role as head of the police and Guernsey Border Agency last week. The former Guernsey police chief said the business case for the joint role was undeniable. He admitted it had caused some anxiety among staff and it was his job to allay their concerns with a clear plan for the future. Mr Rice said: "[The police] collaborate very closely with its colleagues in Jersey, and the border agency does with its colleagues in Jersey as well. "It is about finding where the duplication is... and where to pool resources, as we have done with our colleagues in Jersey around [police] training." He said the police and border agency faced the same financial challenges as other States departments and his focus would be to make savings while protecting front line services. The States of Guernsey is currently undertaking a five-year programme aimed at delivering £31m of savings from the annual budget by the end of next year. Maurice Hammond's P-51 Mustang came down at Hardwick airfield, near Bungay, at about 15:35 BST on Sunday. His passenger, a man in his 80s, died at the scene. Mr Hammond, from Eye, Suffolk, was airlifted to hospital. The family friend said: "He is probably in the top three or four pilots of this marque of aircraft in the UK." Air accident investigators are expected at the airfield, which remains closed, later. The P-51 D Model Mustang was in flames when emergency services arrived at the airfield, about 10 miles south of Norwich. More on this and other news from Norfolk Charles Christian, who saw the plane come down, said it appeared to approach the runway normally, with its landing gear down, before he heard a small explosion after it disappeared behind some trees. The American plane was one of two Mustangs owned by Mr Hammond, who is in his fifties and a regular at airshows. It was built by North American Aviation in Dallas, Texas, in 1945 as one of a batch of 10. It was restored by Mr Hammond. A family friend said: "He is a phenomenal engineer. "You couldn't fly with somebody technically more competent. He is regarded as a leader in his field." Mr Hammond is considered an expert on vintage plane restoration and his work has been featured in a Discovery Channel series, Plane Resurrection. He remains in a stable condition in hospital, friends said. Plans for a £41m revamp of the central London street, including a daylight ban on cars six days a week, were approved by Camden Council in 2014. The Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTA) said it was "madness" and would hinder customer pick-up and drop-off. It sought a judicial review of the decision that was refused on 1 June. The council said the redesign would make the street safer and support businesses ahead of the opening of a Crossrail station in 2018. It undertook an assessment of the impact the partial car ban might have and said allowing taxis to use the street would lead to more traffic congestion, worse air quality and increased traffic collisions. Only buses, bicycles and local access would be allowed on the street from 08:00 to 19:00 Monday to Saturday, but side streets should still give other vehicles 60% access to Tottenham Court Road, the council added. BBC One drama Capital, based on the novel by John Lanchester, won the prize for best TV movie or mini series. Dustin Hoffman received the best actor award for his performance in the BBC One TV movie Roald Dahl's Esio Trot. The comedy prize was won by Hoff The Record starring David Hasselhoff, which is produced in the UK and broadcast on Dave. The mockumentary-style series sees the former Baywatch actor playing a fictionalised version of himself as he moves to the UK to get his career back on track. Elsewhere, German thriller Deutschland 83, which aired on Channel 4 in the UK, won best drama series, while Shonda Rhimes, the producer of hit shows Scandal, Grey's Anatomy and How To Get Away With Murder, was presented with an honorary International Emmy. Other winners included Christiane Paul, who won best actress for her role in the German drama Unterm Radar (Under the Radar). The ceremony was held at New York's Hilton Midtown and hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Mr Kenyatta, who had denied the charges, said he felt "vindicated". The prosecutor's office said the Kenyan government had refused to hand over evidence vital to the case. Mr Kenyatta said he was "excited" and "relieved" at the dropping of charges. "My conscience is absolutely clear," he said, adding that his case had been "rushed there without proper investigation". Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said her government would try to have two other similar cases thrown out including one involving Deputy President William Ruto. "As they say, one case down, two more to go," Mr Kenyatta said on Twitter. On Wednesday, the ICC had given prosecutors a week to decide whether to pursue their case against Mr Kenyatta or withdraw charges. Further delays in the case would be "contrary to the interests of justice", it had said. On Friday, prosecutors said the evidence had "not improved to such an extent that Mr Kenyatta's alleged criminal responsibility can be proven beyond reasonable doubt". The BBC's Anna Holligan in The Hague said the announcement was a huge blow to prosecutors. Many observers had seen the case against Mr Kenyatta as the biggest test in the court's history, she says. Mr Kenyatta was the first head of state to appear before the court, after he was charged in 2012. The prosecution repeatedly asked for more time to build its case, saying witnesses had been bribed and intimidated, and the Kenyan government had refused to hand over documents vital to the case. Human Rights Watch had accused the Kenyan government of acting as a roadblock and "impairing the search for truth". Mr Kenyatta denied inciting ethnic violence following the disputed 2007 elections in order to secure victory for then-President Mwai Kibaki. He has repeatedly accused the ICC of pursuing a political prosecution. On Friday, he again criticised the legal process, saying: "The prosecutor opted to selectively pursue cases in a blatantly biased manner that served vested interests and undermined justice. "As a result, the court has had to pay a steep reputational price, which it will continue to face unless a serious and systemic rethinking of the international justice framework is undertaken." Mr Kenyatta won Kenya's presidential elections in 2013, with the backing of Mr Kibaki. He used the ICC case against him to rally nationalist support by accusing the Dutch-based court of meddling in Kenya's affairs. About 1,200 people were killed in the violence in 2007-8 and 600,000 were displaced. Fergal Gaynor, a lawyer who represents victims of the violence, told the BBC's Foucs on Africa programme that there was a "widespread feeling of disappointment" at the dropping of the case against Mr Kenyatta. He said there had been a "well-organised and systematic effort to undermine the ICC justice process and much of the blame for that can be laid with President Kenyatta's government". Mr Gaynor said the victims had been "robbed" of justice and there was little legal recourse left. "Frankly, this marks the end of the road," he said. Uhuru Kenyatta Mr Ruto is on trial at the ICC on similar charges after his legal team's efforts to have the case thrown out failed. He and Mr Kenyatta were on opposing sides during the 2007 election, with Mr Ruto accused of fuelling violence to bolster opposition leader Raila Odinga's chances of becoming president. He denies the charges. Mr Ruto subsequently formed an alliance with Mr Kenyatta in the 2013 election, opening the way for him to become deputy president. Analysts say the dropping of charges against Mr Kenyatta while the case against Mr Ruto continues risks reopening a political rift and upsetting Kenya's delicate ethnic balance. Mr Kenyatta said the deputy president faced his accusers "with a clear conscience". Mr Ruto and another defendant, Joshua Sang, "have been steadfast in declaring their innocence", said Mr Kenyatta. "I am confident that they will be vindicated in due course." The two professors have been working together on a State of the Planet report, which has involved trawling through numerous reports and scientific papers. At the end of it all, the message of one appears somewhat optimistic, the other fundamentally pessimistic. They agree that changes to the world since about 1950 have been startling - rapid spread of the human population, accelerating exploitation of forests and marine resources, surging economic growth in successive waves across the world, and so on. This radical reshaping of the natural world by a single species is certainly unprecedented in Earth history, which a few years back led to scientists Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer coining a special name for our epoch - the Anthropocene. (The Planet under Pressure organisers have made an animated video of humanity's journey of expansion, by the way, which you can see here.) If you accept the premise that we have entered the Anthropocene, one of the over-arching questions is "what happens now?"; another is "can we get out of it?" Prof Liverman, who studies social aspects of global change at the University of Arizona, has the task of assessing the societal trends that either indicate we're heading further into Anthropocene territory or beginning to back out. Since 2000, she says, some trends have begun to reverse - in particular human fertility, which has halved globally in the past few decades as women have had progressively more access to family planning and maternal health services. In time, this should see the global population stabilise. There has been a change in food production too. "In agriculture, the big idea used to be that we destroyed tropical forests [in order to raise food production]," she says. "What we've seen is that is turning around in some parts of the world where people are growing more food without encroaching on forests - in countries such as Vietnam, the forests are starting to return." The carbon intensity of industry has reduced too. Companies are finding ways of doing business that are more frugal with energy than before, and saving money in the process. As a physical scientist, Prof Steffen's role is to see whether these changing human trends are reflected in the condition of the natural world - the oceans, the atmosphere, the land. Overwhelmingly not, he says. "Over the last decade, with a couple of exceptions we cannot yet see any effect of these trends on the human side. CO2 emissions increased by a larger rate post-2000 than pre-2000 even though we're more efficient - it's just swamped by rising consumption." The main exception is ozone depletion, which has been arrested, if not yet reversed, by the Montreal Protocol. Other than that, we appear to be heading deeper and deeper into the Anthropocene. But what does that mean? No-one really knows. The trends driving global change are unprecedented, so history can give only hints, not a full answer. Computer models struggle to give precise answers even on single issues, such as climate change or the response of ocean ecosystems to temperature change. There's a lot of talk about runaway effects. It's said, with some evidence to back it up, that warming and deforestation in the Amazon could combine to create feedbacks that destroy the forest, or that the Greenland ice sheet could begin to melt irreversibly. Prof Steffen raises another possibility - that the Earth system will stabilise again, but under a different set of conditions, which would be a lot less suitable for the whole range of nature that we find today. This conference, Planet Under Pressure, has assembled several thousand delegates from academia, business, campaign groups, and the occasional government representative. It's designed to get people from science and the policy field together three months before the Rio+20 summit in June, to discuss where we are, where we might be going, and how the supertanker workings of our global society can be turned round, if that's what needs doing. Much of what I've so far read and heard, though, seems very familiar: Will one more conference, one more set of reports and - in June - one more global summit bring about these changes? At the end of Monday's morning session, conference host Nisha Pillai asked the packed hall of delegates for a show of hands on this most basic question - will the changes that "we need" happen? The noes outvoted the ayes. Best wishes for a balmy Anthropocene. Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said the issue over an ineffective sealing mechanism could not be fixed in time for voting on 2 October. The election will now take place on 4 December. A re-run of May's vote was ordered after the far-right Freedom Party challenged the result. The announcement comes after ineffective adhesive strips on envelopes, making them insecure, raised concerns about the validity of ballot papers. Mr Sobotka said on Monday that he had no choice but to ask parliament to introduce a new law allowing the election to be postponed over the technical issue. Under Austrian law, the rescheduling of a presidential election is subject to strict terms, such as the death of a candidate. Former Green Party leader Alexander Van der Bellen, standing as an independent, and the Freedom Party's Norbert Hofer both said they had expected the election to be delayed. The announcement could favour Mr Van der Bellen, whose left-leaning pro-European policies appeal to younger voters, with some 15-year-olds unable to vote in May able to cast their ballots in December. Mr Van der Bellen beat Mr Hofer by just 31,000 votes among the 4.64 million cast in May's election. But Austria's highest court annulled the result after a challenge from the Freedom Party, which claimed that postal votes had been illegally and improperly handled. In two weeks of hearings, lawyers for the Freedom Party alleged that thousands of votes were opened earlier than permitted and counted by people unauthorised to do so. The party also claimed that some under-16s and foreigners had been allowed to vote. The court ruled that election rules had been broken in a way that could have influenced the result, although it said there was no proof that the count had been manipulated.

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted of attempted murder at Winchester Crown Court. She lured her victim to a quiet area of their Hampshire school and stabbed her in the chest in April. Mr Justice Fraser said the girl, who was 14 at the time, had a "far darker side to her personality". She was given a 14 year sentence and will only be considered for parole after 10 years. Her trial at Winchester Crown Court heard the girl was obsessed with mass murders and had compiled a "kill list" of 60 people. Mr Justice Fraser said the "intelligent, articulate young girl" had watched snuff movies online and had previously planned to kill her mother and brother. She turned up for school on 25 April wearing a bandana and with her mouth cut to resemble the Joker from the Batman film The Dark Knight, the jury heard. She told her 15-year-old victim she had a present for her and to "close your eyes and put your hands out". The attacked girl stepped back and although the knife went through her blazer and shirt she only suffered a superficial puncture wound to the chest near her heart. Prosecutors said the girl bore a grudge against her victim who she believed had set up fake Instagram and Tumblr accounts in her name. In a statement read out by the prosecution barrister James Newton-Price, the victim's mother said her daughter is haunted by the attack and has since been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. She said: "It's a nightmare no-one wants for their child and we're living it." A psychiatric report found the attacker did not have a mental illness but instead had a personality problem and struggled with empathy. Abu Musab al-Barnawi, who was previously spokesman for the Nigerian-based Islamists, is featured in the latest issue of an IS magazine. It does not say what has become of the group's former leader Abubakar Shekau. He was last heard from in an audio message last August, saying he was alive and had not been replaced - an IS video released in April said the same. Boko Haram, which has lost most of the territory it controlled 18 months ago, is fighting to overthrow Nigeria's government. Its seven-year insurgency has left 20,000 people dead, mainly in the country's north-east. In the interview in IS's weekly Arabic magazine al-Naba, Mr Barnawi said his group "remained a force to be reckoned with" and said it had been drawing new recruits. He described the group's battle against West African states as a war fought by Muslims against "apostates" and "crusaders". Mr Shekau took over as the group's leader after its founder, Muhammad Yusuf, died in Nigerian police custody in July 2009. Under his leadership Boko Haram became more radical, carried out more killings and swore allegiance to IS in March 2015. In numerous videos, Mr Shekau taunted the Nigerian authorities, celebrating the group's violent acts including the abduction of the more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls in April 2014. Nigeria's army has claimed to have killed him on several occasions, and he has not appeared in a video since joining IS. Boko Haram appeared to be on the back foot following a military campaign by the Nigerian army and its allies from neighbouring countries. This raised questions over whether the IS link had been of any benefit. But recently the group has stepped up its attacks against regional security forces. A UN convoy was also ambushed last week in north-eastern Nigeria. Even on social media, the jihadist group has resumed its propaganda campaign. The increase in attacks could worsen the humanitarian situation around the Lake Chad region, where tens of thousands of people remain in miserable conditions in overcrowded camps. Aid agencies also warn that children are dying there in large numbers from malnutrition. The town that lost its girls 'How I almost became a suicide bomber' Town divided by Boko Haram legacy On patrol against Boko Haram Some vegans, Hindus and Sikhs had been unhappy with tallow's use in the new plastic £5 notes which entered circulation in September. Future production of the polymer £5 notes and £10 notes, plus the £20 to be launched in 2020 will be unchanged. The Bank said its "has not taken this decision lightly". "The Bank fully recognises the concerns raised by members of the public, both prior to and during the consultation," it said. Tender for production of the £20 had been put on hold while the Bank assessed whether palm oil or coconut oil should be used instead. However, that announcement proved controversial with conservation groups, who warned that palm oil production can wreck rainforests and displace people living in them if it was not sustainably sourced. The Bank launched a public consultation, receiving responses from 3,554 people. Of those who expressed a preference, 88% were against the use of animal-derived products and 48% objected to the use of palm oil-derived additives "The Bank has had to balance these responses against its other public duties and priorities as well as the other evidence gathered over the past months," a spokesman said. "The use of palm oil raises questions about environmental sustainability and the Bank's suppliers have been unable to commit to sourcing the highest level of sustainable palm oil at this time. "Value for money was also a consideration in the Bank's decision." The additional cost of switching to a new type of production had risen to about £16.5m over the next 10 years, according to the Bank. It said it had consulted with the UK Treasury, as the additional cost would have had to have been taken on by the taxpayer. HM Treasury advised the Bank that it does not believe switching to palm oil derivatives would achieve value for money for taxpayers. The track notched up a combined sales and streaming total of 1.76 million, the Official Charts Company said. As well as spending seven weeks at number one from December 2014, it remained in the UK top 40 for 39 weeks. The second spot in the 2015 chart went to OMI's Cheerleader with a combined total of 1.52 million. Hozier's Take Me To Church rounded out the top three with 1.25 million combined sales after spending 20 weeks climbing the chart. It is the only song in the top five that failed to reach the number one spot, however, peaking at two for four consecutive weeks. The song that pipped him to the top spot was Ellie Goulding's Love Me Like You Do - which ended up as the fourth best-selling song of the year. Despite only being released last October, Adele's Hello managed to finish sixth place in the list. You can see the top 40 songs of 2015 on the Official Charts Company website. Hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes and businesses were shut when major flooding hit Stoke Newington, Blackheath and Islington. Sadiq Khan said people were "rightly furious it appears lessons are not being learnt". Thames Water has said a "full investigation" will take place "to reduce the risk of further disruption". Mr Khan said the "huge damage" caused was "a devastating thing to happen in the run-up to Christmas". "It is right that Thames Water have launched a full investigation, and residents and business must now get full compensation," he said. Director Bob Collington told the BBC the firm had spent "about £1bn a year upgrading our network" but "clearly the events of the last few weeks point to the fact that we need to do even more". Some business owners have accused the company of "incompetence" over the floods. Gonen Ozer, who owns two businesses in Stoke Newington, said the mains had been leaking for several days but the water firm had only "patched it up temporarily". "I can only describe Thames Water's attitude as reckless, irresponsible and totally unprofessional", he said. Emily Oliphant was in her Blackheath flooring shop when water started pouring into the building and said the damage caused was "unbelievable". She accused Thames Water workers of "incompetence" as it took "four or five hours" until the water stopped. 10,000 miles of pipes in London 1,700 miles of Victorian pipes replaced £742m annual profit (2015/16) 15m customers £1bn invested annually on upgrading the network Mr Collington said he was "absolutely devastated about the damage" but denied the company was unprofessional. He said Thames Water had been "in the process of applying for the permits" to close the road in Stoke Newington to fix the mains when it burst. With regards to Blackheath, Mr Collington explained that it can take "several hours to shut down one of these large pipes" to reduce disruption to other companies. "We understand fully the consequences of getting it wrong and we take that really, really seriously," he said. An International Cricket Council (ICC) movement expert found his arm extended beyond the 15 degrees allowed. Phangiso, 32, is in the Proteas squad for this month's World T20 in India. If he passes a re-test on 7 March, he will be available for the final T20 against Australia and the World T20. South Africa meet England in their opening game on 18 March. Phangiso was reported by umpires after helping Lions reach the final of South Africa's domestic 50-over competition. He will remain with the South Africa squad and work with spin bowling coach Claude Henderson and Cricket South Africa high performance manager Vinnie Barnes to try to remedy his action. South Africa face Australia in Durban on Friday, Johannesburg on Sunday and Cape Town on 9 March. The body was found at a World War Two shipwreck off the County Donegal coast, according to Irish broadcaster, RTÉ. Lough Swilly RNLI lifeboat was involved in the search operation which began at 16:00 local time on Saturday. Its spokesperson said the man got into difficulty 16 miles north of Malin Head. Nationwide said house price inflation fell to 8.5% in November on an annual basis, down from 9.0% in October. That is the lowest annual rise since December 2013. In contrast, the Land Registry said that house price inflation in England and Wales continued to increase in the year to October. The Land Registry figures suggest that annual house prices rose by 7.7% in England and Wales, up from 7.2% in September. Prices showed a monthly rise of 0.1%. On a monthly basis, the Nationwide said prices rose by 0.3% in November from the month before, compared with an increase of 0.5% in October. It said the average property price had risen to ??189,388. "The annual pace of house price growth continued to soften in November, falling from 9.0% in October to 8.5%, marking the third consecutive month where annual growth has moderated," said Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist. "Housing market activity levels have remained relatively weak in recent months," he said. The apparent difference between the figures from the Nationwide and Land Registry may be explained by the fact that the Land Registry includes cash sales, which can account for a third of all sales - and probably more in expensive areas such as London. The Land Registry figures also exclude Scotland and Northern Ireland, where prices have risen more slowly than the national average. Prices in London are still rising faster than anywhere else, with an 18.6% rise in the year to October, according to the Land Registry. Wales reported the smallest increase, of 2%, followed by the north-east of England, where prices rose by 2.7% over the year. IHS Global Insight: 5% Halifax : 3% to 5% Capital Economics: 4% CEBR: - 0.8% Nationwide said there seemed to be "something of a disconnect" between house price growth and economic indicators in the rest of the UK economy. "In particular, the labour market has continued to improve, with employment rising strongly and the unemployment rate falling sharply in recent months," Mr Gardner said. "Moreover, indicators of consumer sentiment remain elevated, where healthy rates of retail sales growth and new car registrations also suggest that households are feeling more confident," he said. House price inflation is expected to continue to soften in the short term, but should pick back up in the longer term if the economy remains in good shape and mortgage rates do not rise sharply, he added. Barca arrived in Spain's capital with a 2-1 advantage from the first leg but poor defending allowed the unmarked Griezmann to power home Saul's cross. Saul headed against the bar as Barca toiled before Griezmann scored a late penalty after Andres Iniesta handled. Barca were denied a penalty when Gabi handled just inside the area. The defeat ended Luis Enrique's hopes of securing a La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey treble, while Atletico join Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid in Friday's semi-final draw (11:30 BST). Relive the action from Wednesday's Champions League quarter-finals Barcelona's players surrounded the referee after Gabi clearly handled inside the area though he was standing outside it, the referee awarding only a free-kick. Listen again:'Simeone is the archetypal baddie' But Barca were a shadow of the team that conquered Europe so convincingly last season and have now lost three of the last four games in all competitions. In addition, Lionel Messi failed to score for the fifth game in a row for his club, and Neymar and Luis Suarez were frustrated by excellent home defending. On the rare occasions Suarez managed to work an opening he found Jan Oblak in fine form on a great night for Atletico. The tie was littered with late challenges - there were eight bookings in total - while there were two flashpoints as Barca exited the competition on a bad-tempered note. Suarez caught Uruguay team-mate Diego Godin with an elbow that left the Atletico defender with a swelling above his eye. And another scuffle between the top two clubs in Spain broke out when Neymar appeared to lash out at Juanfran from behind. Barca enjoyed 77% possession and had more shots than Atletico , yet could not disguise their frustration as they were undone by Griezmann's double. This was the eighth meeting in 15 months between the sides, with Barcelona having won the previous seven. Indeed, Atletico's most recent win over their oppoents was at this stage of the Champions League two years ago. Barcelona suffered a 2-1 aggregate defeat in 2014 with Diego Simeone's side eventually reaching the final - only to lose 4-1 to Real Madrid after extra time. Simeone will be confident after this fine performance that his side can go one better this time. Messi remains on 499 career goals, just as he has done since 30 March when he scored for Argentina. He has gone 452 minutes without scoring for Barcelona. On Wednesday, Messi did not look like finding the net as he failed to register a shot on target in a Champions League game for the first time since 2014 - also against Atletico. The 28-year-old cut a frustrated figure as Godin and Lucas Hernandez produced commanding performances at the heart of the home defence. Messi's last touch of the game was a free-kick on the edge of the area, when they should have had a penalty, which flew wide. It summed up Barcelona's night. Barcelona are three points clear at the top of La Liga with six games remaining. They will look to put this result behind them when they entertain Valencia on Sunday (19:30 BST) Atletico host Granada on the same day at 17:15 BST. The body of the 36-year-old was found in Monmouth Road, Bartley Green, by ambulance crews, who called police. Det Insp Warren Hines said it was "believed the deceased and the man arrested were known to each other". The 51-year-old man is being questioned by police. The house remains cordoned off for forensic investigations. Anyone with information about the incident was asked to call West Midlands Police. A post-mortem examination will take place at a later stage to establish the cause of death, a force spokesman said. The Asia-focused bank reported pre-tax profits of $589m for the January to March period. Although that was down from a $1.4bn profit a year earlier, it compared with a loss of $4.05bn in the final quarter of 2015. Standard Chartered was the biggest riser on the FTSE 100, with the index up 23.6 points at 6,284.52. Investors were cheered by signs that the number of bad loans at the bank had fallen. Standard Chartered said losses from impaired loans were $471m in the January to March period, compared with $1.13bn in the previous quarter. The bank's chief executive, Bill Winters, said: "Although trading conditions in the first quarter remained challenging, we continue to make good progress on our strategic objectives." In November last year, Standard Chartered said it would raise $5.1bn and cut 15,000 jobs by 2018 as part of a turnaround plan. Elsewhere on the London market, positive results from oil giant BP and Costa Coffee owner Whitbread also gave the FTSE 100 a lift. BP shares rose 4.3% after its first quarter results beat expectations. The oil company reported a $485m loss for the three months to March, but on an underlying basis it posted a better-than-expected profit of $532m. Shares in Whitbread - which also owns Premier Inn hotels as well as Costa Coffee - rose 2.6% after it reported an 11.9% rise in underlying annual pre-tax profits to £546.3m. In the FTSE 250, shares in engineering company Cobham dived 17% after it announced plans for a £500m rights issue in order to cut its debt. Cobham also reported a 70% fall in first quarter profits to £15m On the currency markets, the pound rose as expectations grew that the UK would vote to remain in the EU in June's referendum. Sterling climbed 0.85% against the dollar to $1.4605, and was up 0.4% against the euro at €1.2907. South Koreans must complete two years' compulsory military service before the age of 29 or face being exiled. After winning bronze at the 2012 London Olympics, Ki, 27, and his team-mates' service was reduced to four weeks. Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin said: "We want him to have more time for his holiday." After helping South Korea's Olympic efforts, Ki left Celtic for the Liberty Stadium for a then club record fee of £5.5m. Ki is expected to return for pre-2016-17 training in early July. Meanwhile, Guidolin could turn midfielder Leroy Fer's loan stay from QPR into a permanent deal this summer. The Dutchman made 10 league appearances after joining Swansea in January. "Leroy has been a good surprise," said Guidolin. "I didn't know him before, but he has helped the team in the last part of the season. He is a good player and it is possible he stays here. "I don't know if he wants to stay. I think so, but he could be a good option to stay." Team Tachyon, made up of Denbigh High pupils, won three awards while representing Wales in Austin. Competitors had to design a miniature F1 car which was propelled down a 20m track, powered by compressed CO2. Team members described the experience as "incredible" ahead of a celebration at Cardiff Bay. As part of the process, the team had to give a talk to a board of 70 head teachers despite being "quite shy" - a feat the girls told Good Morning Wales they would not have been able to achieve two years ago. In the US, the team which consists of Jessica Briody Hughes, Amy Martin, Katie Rowlands and Holly Roberts attended an F1 race at Circuit of the Americas. Three of them also got to go into the pit of the Manor F1 team. Though the girls said the industry was "very much male dominated", they said they had discovered there was an increase in women getting into engineering - which helps to promote F1 among younger people. Amy Martin put the team together after being asked by a teacher and is now one of just nine people in the world to be accepted into the Randstad Williams F1 Engineering Academy. "I'm just going to try and get through the academy, every year they knock two people out, and then hopefully have a job with Williams," she said. Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said the whole of Wales should be proud of the girls. She said: "They are superb role models. I want to see more girls studying science, technology and engineering in our schools. Anyone who meets these girls can't be anything but totally inspired. They are fantastic." Ground works will begin on the Mynydd Y Gwair site at common land near Felindre. The 16-turbine farm will generate enough power for about 22,000 homes, innogy Renewables has said. The Welsh Government approved the development following a recommendation from the public inquiry. The project was Swansea's largest renewable energy project to date, the company said. Three inquiries have been held into the project in the wake of strong opposition from people who claimed the turbines would spoil the area's natural beauty. Swansea council originally granted planning permission for the wind farm in 2013 but the project went through a number of hurdles before finally being approved in July last year. Tim James, Mynydd y Gwair project manager from innogy, said: "We are delighted to be starting the construction of Mynydd y Gwair wind farm and working with Dawnus Construction Limited. "This project represents a significant investment in South Wales and we look forward to continue working with local companies and communities." The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) also warned the firms paying them and forced the intermediary, Social Chain, to undertake to stop. But the CMA insisted on keeping the names of the public figures and the companies secret. Transparency campaigners said the names should be released A CMA investigation found that Social Chain arranged for "widely followed social media personalities" to promote films, games, takeaway and dating apps, without declaring that the content was paid-for advertising. They posted the adverts on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, the government body said. It added that Social Chain organised 19 marketing campaigns featuring undisclosed advertising in a four-month period last year. The posts appeared on social media accounts with a "combined reach of around four million followers" and some of the campaigns "trended on Twitter, which may have increased their readership further". Social Chain also used its own social media accounts. The CMA wrote to 43 celebrities and 15 businesses to "warn them that arranging or publishing advertising that is not clearly labelled may result in them breaching consumer protection law". On Thursday, it refused to name any of them, saying that it preferred to concentrate on the marketing company. "It is important that when companies are caught breaking the rules, either in letter or in spirit, that the names of those companies, and any others involved in the offence, are made public," Peter Van Veen of Transparency International UK said. He told the BBC: "Only through disclosing such information will any sanctions act as a future deterrent for those companies and others." According to Daniel Knapp, an advertising researcher at the analyst firm IHS, social media advertising has become more important in recent years as consumers tire of traditional advertising methods. They are "bombarded" by advertising and see as many as 1,000 ads per day and many people no longer trust "interruptive advertising", such as television ad slots, he said. "So, they are looking for other ways. Social media is where young and highly influenceable people congregate and the stars have bigger followings than some brands. They are also very close to the consumers." But Mr Knapp added that undeclared advertising was bad for the marketing industry in the long term because it risked eroding trust. "Social media personalities can have an important influence on people's views, especially young people. It is therefore crucial that when people decide what to buy, they should not be misled by adverts on social media that read like independent opinions," said Nisha Arora, of the CMA. The CMA also announced that it had received an undertaking from the clothing retailers Wool Overs, which it said had "cherry-picked" more favourable customer reviews for publication on its website. The firm agreed to publish "all genuine, relevant and lawful customer reviews on its website" in future and not to "suppress unfavourable reviews", the CMA said. Wool Overs said it had undergone a change of ownership and had begun working on a change in its practices when the CMA investigation was opened. Social Chain did not respond to a request for comment. He made between £2.2m and £2.25m in 2016/2017, while Claudia Winkleman was the highest-paid female celebrity, earning between £450,000 and £500,000. About two-thirds of stars earning more than £150,000 are male, compared to one-third female, according to the BBC annual report. Director general Tony Hall said there was "more to do" on gender and diversity. It is the first time the pay of stars earning more than £150,000 has been made public. The BBC has been compelled to reveal the information, including the pay of 96 of its top stars, under the terms of its new Royal Charter. The total bill for the 96 personalities was £28.7m; but the figures in the report reveal large disparities between what men and women are paid. Overall, 25 men on the talent list receive more than £250,000, compared to just nine women. Speaking on LBC Radio, Prime Minister Theresa May said: "We've seen the way the BBC is paying women less for doing the same job... I want women to be paid equally." When asked if Chris Evans was worth 12 of her, Mrs May - who earns about £150,000 - said: "What's important is that the BBC looks at the question of paying men and women the same for doing the same job." "On gender and diversity, the BBC is more diverse than the broadcasting industry and the civil service," Lord Hall said. "We've made progress, but we recognise there is more to do and we are pushing further and faster than any other broadcaster." When asked if female talent working at the BBC would now be asking for pay rises, Lord Hall said: "We will be working carefully on our relationship with our talent." Woman's Hour's Jane Garvey tweeted: "I'm looking forward to presenting @BBCWomansHour today. We'll be discussing #GenderPayGap . As we've done since 1946. Going well, isn't it?" Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis, who did not appear on the list, retweeted Garvey's message. There is also a gap between the pay for white stars and those from a black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) background. George Alagiah, Jason Mohammad and Trevor Nelson are the highest paid BAME presenters, each receiving between £250,000 and £300,000. The highest-paid female star with a BAME background is BBC news presenter Mishal Husain, who earned between £200,000 and £250,000. The annual report contains pay information in bands and does not reveal exact amounts. Nor does it include stars who receive their pay through BBC Worldwide, the corporation's commercial arm. The figures quoted only refer to the amount of licence fee money each person receives and do not include their earnings from other broadcasters or commercial activities. They also exclude stars paid through independent production companies. That means some big name stars - such as David Attenborough, Benedict Cumberbatch and Matt LeBlanc - do not appear on the list. The list also does not distinguish between people who are paid for doing multiple jobs within the BBC and those who are just paid for one. Strictly Come Dancing head judge Len Goodman - who has now left the show - and fellow judge Bruno Tonioli were both in the £200,000-£250,000 band. The show's other judges, Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell, got between £150,000 and £200,000. Tess Daly, Winkleman's Strictly Come Dancing co-host, was paid between £350,000 and £400,000. Graham Norton earned more than £850,000 but this does not include payments to his production company, which makes The Graham Norton Show and pays him a separate salary. The BBC is alone amongst the UK's major broadcasters in releasing pay details for its on-air and on-screen talent. Talent pay is considerably higher in the commercial sector. As he left the BBC after his Radio 2 breakfast show on Wednesday, Chris Evans said it was right "on balance" that star salaries were being disclosed. "We are the ultimate public company I think, and therefore it's probably right and proper people know what we get paid," he told reporters. During a briefing on the annual report on Wednesday morning, Lord Hall said: "Chris Evans is presenting the most popular show on the most popular radio network in Europe. "The BBC does not exist in a market on its own where it can set the market rates. "If we are to give the public what they want, then we have to pay for those great presenters and stars." Aside from Strictly, Winkleman's other BBC roles include presenting The Great British Sewing Bee and her Radio 2 Sunday night show. Her agent said she would be making no comment. If you ask experienced people in the world of broadcasting what they think of these salary disclosures, three clear and consistent points are apparent. First, the BBC pays below - and sometimes much below - market rates, both at management level and in terms of top broadcasting talent. Second, this move will prove inflationary. Those on the list will think to themselves: "Why is that inferior presenter getting paid more than me?" - and will demand a pay rise. Third, if you thought it was tin hat time for the talent, pity the poor agents they work with. Read more from Amol here. Casualty star Derek Thompson was the BBC's highest paid actor, receiving between £350,000 and £400,000 over the last financial year. Amanda Mealing, who also stars in Casualty as well as Holby City, was the highest paid actress, receiving between £250,000 and £300,000. Peter Capaldi, the outgoing star of Doctor Who, was paid between £200,000 and £250,000. Clare Balding earned between £150,000 and £200,000 for her work on sports shows including Wimbledon Today and the Rio Olympics. The overall spend on talent was £193.5m - down on the £200m spent in 2015/2016. The figures also showed a decrease - from 109 to 96 - in the number of stars paid more than £150,000. The total spend on stars with salaries of more than £150,000 was also down £5 million on the £31.9 million paid in the previous financial year. Speaking on the Today programme, Lord Grade - a former BBC One controller - called the government's insistence that talent pay be disclosed "distasteful and disturbing". "The net result of this is inflation," he said. "Talent salaries and wages will round upwards, they won't go down." Former culture secretary John Whittingdale MP said: "If somebody is earning the equivalent of 1,000 households' licence fees put together… the licence fee payer deserves to know." The annual report showed that the BBC continues to reach 95 percent of UK adults every week. It also said the iPlayer had its most successful year to date, with an average of 246 million requests each month. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

But, for this weekend at least, the border is soft and tactile, with sky-dancing dolls spinning above it, woolly-jumper-wearing cats and kaleidoscopic orbs hanging from its hard stone walls. The project is called Soften the Border. For months women's groups have been turning old clothes into stuffed shapes, as well as knitting and crocheting dolls. Their hard work is now festooning the bridge that denotes the border between counties Fermanagh and Cavan. "We're knitting this little patch of the border together," said Rita Duffy, the artist behind it. "These communities work together, hand-in-glove. "I'm quite surprised, I always thought of this as a semi-detached village. "But people actually co-operate and look after each other. "We should be doing that locally; we should be doing it universally as well." It is part of the Belcoo Sports and festival event, which is celebrating its 70th year. "Because it's probably one of the longest-running festivals, it does get a lot of support and a lot of cross-border support as well," said committee member Peter Gallagher. But Mr Gallagher has his own concerns about life post-Brexit. "If we get to a point where we have customs checkpoints and stuff like that, the practicalities become much more difficult," he said. "Whether it means there'll be an end to the Festival or not, only time will tell. "But it is worrying. It's an uncertain future which I don't think any of us deserve." But the border is everyday life here between these two villages and it's everyday concerns that have people worried. "Will I need a passport to go to the butcher's?" one man asked. "We hold the only cross-border St Patrick's Day parade in the world. A hard Brexit will put a stop to all that." The 21-year-old, who won two Commonwealth gold medals in 2014, swam 20.74 to beat the mark set by Foster in January 2001 by 0.39 seconds. "As soon as I nailed my turn, I knew it was going to be a fast swim but I didn't think it would be sub-21 seconds," Proud told swimming.org. The Plymouth Leander swimmer was racing at the ASA's winter meet in Sheffield. Two other British records fell at the meeting: Lizzie Simmonds swam the 100m backstroke in 56.35 seconds, while 16-year-old Imogen Clark recorded a time of 30.02 in the 50m breaststroke. Residents of Kelly Bray, Cornwall said "on your bike", after they were told they could no longer use the hall when the local branch of the WI folded. After the closure in November, Cornwall Federation of WIs (CFWI) changed the locks and banned villagers from entry. However, residents said the 78-year-old hall was built for everyone and have changed the locks again. The CFWI has declined to comment on the villagers' actions until a meeting on Wednesday to decide what action to take. The hall, on the corner of Stokes Road and Parson's Green, was built in 1937 with the deeds saying the site was sold "for an Institute for the women of Kelly Bray". However, the WI branch folded last November because of a lack of members. The CFWI put up a notice "as owner of the property" saying "no-one can lawfully enter the premises" without its authorisation. But, villagers said the hall was purchased by the village for the use of the WI ladies. Susie Iannantuoni, of the village hall committee, said: "Christenings, wakes, dog-grooming classes and Young Farmers' pantos have all been held there. "We were absolutely horrified to be told we couldn't carry on using it. "So, we have put up our own notice saying we don't recognise your authority and on your bike." The issue was referred by the committee to the attorney general who said the issue did not come under his jurisdiction. The CFWI has asked the Charity Commission if it can rent the hall to the villagers. The commission said it had "always tried to assist the charity in achieving such an outcome". But, the commission said the CFWI needed to show that was "in the best interests of the CFWI charity", for it to be legal. Members of World War Two codebreaker Alan Turing's family have also signed. Turing, played by Cumberbatch in The Imitation Game, was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and killed himself in 1954. He was pardoned in 2013. The signatories have asked the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and other "young leaders" to help with their campaign. But a spokesman for the couple said it was a matter for government and they would not make any public comment. Turing was granted a posthumous pardon by the Queen in 2013, four years after then Prime Minister Gordon Brown offered an "unequivocal apology" for the way he was treated. Now campaigners want pardons for all of those who were convicted of similar offences. The letter, printed in the Guardian, states: "The UK's homophobic laws made the lives of generations of gay and bisexual men intolerable. "It is up to young leaders of today including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to acknowledge this mark on our history and not allow it to stand." It describes Turing as "one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century" for helping to crack the Enigma code and says he was "pivotal in the development of modern computers". The letter continues: "The apology and pardon of Alan Turing are to be welcomed but ignores over 49,000 men who were convicted under the same law, many of whom took their own lives. "An estimated 15,000 men are believed to still be alive." Cumberbatch, who has been nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Turing, and The Imitation Game's director Morten Tyldum are also joined as signatories by Turing's great niece Rachel Barnes and Matthew Todd, editor of Attitude Magazine. Ms Barnes told BBC News the royal pardon given to Turing was "fantastic for all of us because he was such a great man and did so much for this country." "But we've always considered that it is totally unjust that only Alan was given a pardon," she said. "There were 50,000 other homosexuals who were convicted and not given a pardon. We would really like this to be put right now." An estimated 15,000 of them are still alive, she added. An online petition has also been launched at www.Pardon49k.org, with more than 60,000 having signed it so far. The NCA said it was taking on the investigation following a request from South Yorkshire Police last month. Both the force and the NCA declined to comment further on the scope of the investigation. It comes after the Jay report found more than 1,400 children in the town were abused from 1997 to 2013. Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles has called for a separate inspection into whether Rotherham Council covered up information about the abuse. The report by Professor Alexis Jay, published in August, detailed how children had been subjected to trafficking, rape and other sexual exploitation over a 16-year period and how their abuse had been ignored by a range of agencies, including police, councillors and council officials. The controversy that followed led to a series of high-profile resignations, including Rotherham's strategic director of children's services, Joyce Thacker, and South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright, who had been the councillor with responsibility for children's services between 2005 and 2010. After Mr Wright's resignation last month, Mr Crompton said: "This represents an opportunity for the force, and the county, to move forward in light of Professor Jay's report about child sexual exploitation. "The force has referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission and is in detailed discussion with the National Crime Agency to oversee an independent inquiry into allegations of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham. "Any organisations or individuals found to be at fault will be held to account." Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation (DCRO) was called out after three cavers failed to return from a trip into Gautries Hole, north of Buxton. Heavy rain had caused a section of passage close to the entrance to become completely flooded, leaving the cavers with no way out. They were rescued by the team using underwater breathing apparatus. Bill Whitehouse, from the DCRO, said: "They were very experienced cavers who knew what had happened and what the consequences were. "They did exactly the right thing and found somewhere to hold-up until help came." He added: "Once they were beyond the flooded part of the cave they were quite safe - it's just they couldn't get out." The team took the decision to "dive them out" because the water level was not going down and more heavy rain was forecast, meaning they could have remained trapped for a long period. Mr Whitehouse said it was unusual for the cave to be totally flooded. Chief executive Tim Steiner said the firm was pursuing conversations with "multiple" international companies. It also said Amazon's recent takeover of US chain Whole Foods was a "positive catalyst" for it to boost its international presence. Ocado had been under pressure over its delay in achieving overseas expansion. In June, it announced a long-awaited overseas deal with an unnamed European retailer, saying it was going to help it set up an online grocery delivery service. This also helped bolster its share price, reassuring investors who were growing increasingly sceptical of its strategy. The retailer has been slow to branch out internationally, missing a self-imposed deadline in 2015. Also last month, retail giant Amazon made its biggest push into traditional retailing by buying Whole Foods in a £10.7bn deal. The shares of rival grocers fell, but Ocado's stock went up because it was felt the deal signalled a future partnership between the two or a possible takeover. There has been much speculation that Ocado could be a potential takeover target for Amazon, which is seeking to expand its home delivery grocery business. Mr Steiner said: "We continue to progress conversations with multiple retailers internationally to use the Ocado Smart Platform and believe that recent industry developments such as the announced acquisition of Whole Foods by Amazon will be a positive catalyst in advancing these discussions." He added: "Grocery retailing is changing and we are ideally positioned to enable other retailers to achieve their online aspirations." The retailer, which also works with Morrison and Waitrose, said its half yearly pre-tax profits fell by £1.7m to £7.7m, because of the opening costs of its third warehouse in Andover and investment in its delivery systems. Retail revenue grew 12.5% to £659.6m, while its customer base increased 12.7% year-on-year to 600,000 in the six months to 28 May 2017. Ocado's shares rose 2.3% to 296p in early trading. The All Blacks, unbeaten at Eden Park since 1994, are favourites to beat a Lions side whose only series victory in New Zealand was in 1971. "There's always pressure on us and we don't mind pressure," Read said. "Losing would be pretty bad. "We will go out there and expect to win." Read was part of New Zealand's World Cup wins of 2011 and 2015, but believes the opening match against with the Lions is "probably the most important right now" in his career. The 31-year-old has recovered from a broken thumb to lead his country. He is expecting a physical battle between the two sets of forwards after the Lions' pack helped them to impressive wins over the Crusaders and New Zealand Maori during the run-up to the first Test. "Whoever dominates the set-piece ruck area will have a strong chance of winning the game," he said. Lions coach Warren Gatland sprung a surprise with his selection, opting for full-back Liam Williams and wing Elliot Daly, ahead of Leigh Halfpenny and George North respectively. Gatland has promised his side will be "courageous", adding "you have to score tries" to beat the All Blacks. Pte Richard Hunt, from Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, died after his vehicle was caught in an explosion in Helmand Province in August 2009. His mother Hazel later started the Welsh Warrior Foundation which raised more than £250,000 in eight years. But she said the charity has now come to a "natural end" and would close. Sunday will mark nine years since Pte Hunt, of 2nd Battalion The Royal Welsh, was hit by the explosion while on patrol. Mrs Hunt said she hoped the charity's lasting legacy would be greater awareness of the difficulties veterans face after active service. The charity has helped larger causes, such as Veterans With Dogs, and individual ex-service men and women in need. "Literally just after his funeral we raised £25,000 which we sent to Help For Heroes, and we carried it on from there," Mrs Hunt said. "One of Richard's loves was music, he played drums in a band, so we thought about a music festival for families - we had four of them. "We had people running marathons, people doing parachute jumps - you name it, people did it." Mrs Hunt said the charity provided some help in grieving for her son, who died just a few days before his 22nd birthday. "You don't get over it, you learn to live with it," she said. "His mantra would be 'if you want to go and do something, get off your backside and go and do it', so hopefully he'd be proud of it." Mrs Hunt said the foundation also aimed to alert others to the difficulties many soldiers were facing. She frequently spoke out about the struggles faced in getting the right equipment while on tour and a lack of support for conditions including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder when soldiers returned home. "I've learnt a lot… and they shouldn't just be left to rot on the scrap heap when they come home," she said. "A lot of them are quite capable of going on and doing other things with the right support." Mrs Hunt said with most British soldiers having left Afghanistan, other than for training roles, it felt like the "natural time" to wind the charity down. She still plans to play an active role in campaigning on behalf of veterans and keeps in regular contact with her son's close friends. "I think it's probably the hardest job that anyone will have to do - go to places like Afghanistan and fight for people who perhaps don't know you, don't understand you, don't want you there," she said. "The British forces are the very best in the world at doing it, but we need to show them that we recognise it when they come home again." Veterans With Dogs, which received £15,000 from the foundation, said the money would help train assistance dogs to reduce stress levels and make a "huge difference" to veterans suffering from service-related mental health conditions. They join Welsh laverbread, Anglesey sea salt and Carmarthen ham in having the European Commission-awarded status. Protected status means certain food and drink must be made in a specific geographical area to be given the name. Welsh Perry and Cider Society chairwoman Sally Perks said she was "thrilled". Protected Geographical Indication status is intended to ensure people know they are drinking or eating an authentic product from a specific area. There are 14 Welsh products with protected status, but this is the first time drinks have made the list. Ms Perks said: "It provides a huge boost to Welsh cider makers in getting their products recognised throughout the UK and abroad." Police took action against Matthew Adams, Daniel Batchelor, Javier Centeno-Gomez and a 17-year-old youth, all from Suffolk, after concerns were raised. The four pleaded guilty to a public order offence of threatening behaviour. They were each fined £100 and banned from climbing manmade buildings. Police said Adams, 23, of Raglan Street, Batchelor, 26, of Newark Road and a 17-year-old boy, all from Lowestoft, and Centeno-Gomez, 24, of Benacre Road, Ellough, near Beccles. They were prosecuted following reports of a number of incidents where men were reported to be climbing on structures around Lowestoft. The ban, which is active for two years, prohibits the four from climbing any structure more than 3m above the ground, unless it is specifically designed to be climbed, or unless they have written permission of the structure's owner and safety equipment is used. Officers showed footage to court from the quartet's head cameras, including images of two of the group lowering themselves over the edge of the roof and hanging off the side of St Peters Court in the town - 15 storeys above the ground. It also showed one of them parachuting from the wind turbine at Kessingland. A Suffolk Police spokesman said the threatening behaviour offence relates to them causing alarm and distress to residents of Lowestoft through their climbing and posting footage of their exploits on the internet. "Police felt they had no alternative but to take action due to the extreme danger of their actions. As was pointed out during sentencing, they may have fallen and not only killed themselves but innocent passers-by on the ground," he said. Adams disputed whether they put lives at risk. "What people don't understand is that we put a lot of training into this. I accept what I am doing is dangerous, but we prepare for it and we don't encourage other people to do it," he said. The four appeared at Lowestoft Magistrates' Court on 10 March, where they all pleaded guilty. They were also ordered to pay £20 victim compensation and £85 costs. Sixteen papers have so far been granted licences, although only four were ready to publish on Monday. This is another important milestone on Burma's journey away from authoritarian rule, the BBC's Jonathan Head reports from the commercial capital, Rangoon. Until recently, reporters in Burma faced some of the harshest restrictions in the world. Private dailies in Burmese, English and other languages, which had been commonplace in the former British colony, were forced to close under military rule in 1964. Subsequently, journalists were frequently subjected to surveillance and phone-tapping, and were often tortured or imprisoned. Newspapers that broke the rules were shut down. But media controls have been relaxed as part of a programme of reforms launched by the government of President Thein Sein that took office in 2011. Last August, the government informed journalists they would no longer have to submit their work routinely to state censors before publication. It announced in December that private dailies would be allowed to publish from 1 April. Some initial print runs will be a modest few thousand, while the papers assess demand, our correspondent reports. "I foresee several hurdles along the way," Khin Maung Lay, the 81-year-old editor of Golden Fresh Land, told the Associated Press. "However, I am ready to run the paper in the spirit of freedom and professionalism taught by my peers during the good old days." The other three dailies are The Voice, The Union and The Standard Time. "The Voice daily sold out soon after it arrived even though I ordered double the amount than other newspapers. People are keen to read private daily newspapers for the first time," vendor Phyu Phyu told the AFP news agency. The four papers all had different leads. The Voice carried an update on the situation in western Rakhine state, which saw deadly religious clashes last year. It also covered a weekend concert in Rangoon by Danish band Michael Learns to Rock. The Golden Fresh Land reported on opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's visit to Japan, as well as action being taken against corrupt government officials. Standard Time looked at violence by majority Buddhists against Muslims in central Burma last week. The arrival of privately owned papers on the news stands coincides with the first anniversary of the election of Aung San Suu Kyi to parliament. She has since become an energetic player in the assembly, although, like the government, she is finding it difficult to respond to the complex challenges now confronting her country, our correspondent says. She has been criticised for failing to speak out over the recent wave of attacks on Muslim communities, he adds - an issue over which the newly-liberated media is also being censured after some inaccurate and inflammatory reporting. Aung San Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy, is to start printing its own daily newspaper later this month. The charges allege that the Southern California (SoCal) Gas Company violated health and safety laws by failing to report and contain leaking methane. Ms Harris said the impact had been devastating to families in the area. The leak in Porter Ranch began on 23 October and has forced more than 13,000 people from their homes. It has been blamed for a variety of health issues and has been described by environmental campaigner Erin Brockovich as the worst environmental disaster in the US since 2010. Methane is also a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide (CO2). While it does not linger in the atmosphere as long as CO2, it is initially more damaging to the climate because is absorbs the sun,s heat so effectively. SoCal Gas spokesman Mike Mizrahi has repeatedly insisted that his company complied with all relevant state and federal regulations in the run-up to the leak. The firm has promised that it will be plugged by the end of February and the single well in question, a depleted oil field known as SS-25, will be taken out of use. The use of old oil and gas wells for storing natural gas is relatively common in the United States, according to industry bodies. But the state government says that SocCal is entirely to blame for the incident. "The impact of this unprecedented gas leak is devastating to families in our state, our environment and our efforts to combat global warming," Ms Harris said in a statement. "Southern California Gas Company must be held accountable." The lawsuit filed by the attorney general seeks unspecified civil penalties and emulates similar legal moves taken in December by the Los Angeles city attorney. The leak has been described as the biggest in California's history, forcing nearly 4,500 families living in the upmarket Porter Ranch area to relocate. About 1,200 more households are in the process of following them. Repeated efforts to stop the leak by pouring liquid and mud down the stricken well have been unsuccessful. SoCal is now drilling a relief well to seal the damaged well. Ms Brockovich has described the leak as a "BP oil spill on land", comparing it to the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico six years ago, in which 11 people died. The effect of the leak on human health is contested. SoCal Gas insists there is no evidence that it poses a long-term risk but some scientists say there are not enough data for them to be sure. 1.77 million: approximate number of cows burping for a year to produce equivalent methane 1.41 million: number of cars that would need to be added to the road to have a similar greenhouse effect in a year 13,000: number of people who have been relocated so far Calls grow for gas facility shutdown Belching cows and the LA methane leak All of the managerial movements for May will appear below, followed by the full list of each club, league-by-league.

Kiwi numbers have been falling at around 2% a year, largely due to predators such as stoats and dogs. Once numbering in the millions, there are now only an estimated 68,000 kiwi remaining in the wild. "This government is not prepared to accept that our national bird is at any ongoing risk of potentially becoming extinct in their natural habitat," said Conservation Minister Maggie Barry. "This strategy focuses on growing the wild kiwi population, rather than steadying or managing decline," added Ms Barry. As well as increasing numbers, the plan will also restore the birds' formerly safe habitats. "It is possible to bring kiwi back from endangered to everywhere," says the report. Success lies in managing kiwi predators. Dogs are one of the biggest threats, with a single dog capable of setting back years of conservation work in an area. "If kiwi don't have the predators managed, something like 5% of the chicks born every year make it to adulthood a year later," Forest and Bird campaigns and advocacy manger Kevin Hackwell told news outlet Newshub. "That can be almost reversed completely if you control the predators." Stoats are another threat to kiwi, responsible for approximately half of kiwi chick deaths on the mainland. Currently, humans intervene by taking kiwi eggs, incubating them and rearing them in captivity before releasing them into the wild. But this strategy is "expensive and very labour-intensive", according to Mr Hackwell. "The goal is seeing our national bird being healthy out in the environment, not having to be kept behind fences or anything," he said. The plan also ties into the government's Predator-Free 2050 plan which aims to rid the country of possums, rats and stoats. The government has set NZ$11.2m (£6.33m; $8.10bn) aside for kiwi conservation, but a shortfall of NZ$1.3m still remains each year. This will primarily be funded by national charity Kiwis for kiwi. The Green Party, however, says the programme should be funded by the government, not left to charities. "The government could easily pay the $1.3m it is asking charities to pick up," said Green Party conservation spokesperson Mojo Mathers. "The kiwi is our treasured national bird - the government should not be leaving its survival up to charity or chance." The public are being invited to have their say on the kiwi protection proposals before the end of January next year. They were arrested on 16 June in a market in Inezgane, near Agadir, after being heckled by market traders. Their case sparked a national outcry and an internet petition calling the arrest an attack on personal freedom attracted thousands of signatures. Hundreds of lawyers offered to defend the women in court. Women's rights campaigner Fouzia Assouli told the AFP news agency the acquittal showed that wearing a skirt "is not a crime". Moroccan news site Tel Quel quotes the women's lawyer, Houcine Bekkar Sbai, as saying that the next step is to prosecute the people who harassed them in the market. Ministers said the move, defeated when the SNP formed a minority government, would help tackle reoffending. Currently there is a presumption against courts imposing sentences of three months or less. Figures showed 60% of those sentenced to less than three months were reconvicted within a year. In 2010 the government introduced, for the first time in Scots law, a presumption against short prison sentences, except where no other punishment would be appropriate. Proposals to impose a six-month limit were dropped because the SNP government feared opposition parties would vote it down. Under the law passed in 2010, the court must publicly state its reasons for imposing a short sentence. Ministers are to launch a consultation on whether the minimum period should be extended, and by how much. Under the proposals, offenders would serve their sentences in the community instead of being jailed, and receive help for the causes of their offending behaviour, including drug or alcohol addictions or mental health issues. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said although crime levels are falling, Scotland has one of the highest prison populations per capita in western Europe. Two-thirds (66%) of those jailed in Scotland receive terms of six months or less. Mr Mathseon said evidence has consistently shown short term prison sentences are ineffective in reducing reoffending. "Prison will always be the right place for serious offenders who should be punished appropriately," he said. "Short sentences do nothing to stop reoffending in our communities and only result in offenders going in and out of prison time and time again and reoffending upon release." He added: "This isn't about being 'soft' or 'tough', it is about being 'smart' and acting on the clear evidence in front of us. "We must tackle the revolving door to our prisons and I believe these proposals will give greater protection to our communities, whilst helping offenders turn their lives around and become active and responsible citizens." Tom Halpin, chief executive of the community safety charity Sacro, welcomed the announcement. He said: "Simply jailing offenders for a short time does nothing to rehabilitate them, nothing to challenge their behaviour and nothing to pay back to victims for the harm they have caused. "The proposed extension to the presumption against short sentences offers a radical and progressive step for Scotland's justice system that is needed to further reduce reoffending." The former first minister Henry McLeish, who chaired the Commission into the future of Scotland's Prisons in 2008, said: "The most important recommendation in my Prisons Commission Report was to introduce a presumption against short sentences of less than 6 months. "Legislation was passed on three months and we now have the possibility of a more radical reform. "Extending the existing presumption period could be of significant help to the prison service, provide more effective and appropriate help for those who are not a threat to society and with further investment in community alternatives, help cut reoffending. "This is a bold and imaginative consultation paper and I hope it generates a positive response." But the Scottish Conservatives said the move "could mean hundreds of people convicted of crimes like housebreaking, handling offensive weapons and common assault walking free". It said the latest figures showed that more than 5,000 people were jailed for between three and six months last year. The statistics included 874 common assaults, 184 drug crimes, 164 cases of handling an offensive weapon, and 210 housebreakings. In 2013/14 there were even 13 occasions when attempted murder and serious assaults were dealt with by way of a custodial sentence between three and six months, along with 12 sexual assaults, the Conservatives said. The party's justice spokeswoman, Margaret Mitchell, said: "Extending the presumption against short-term sentences simply gives offenders the impression that their crimes aren't serious enough to go to jail. "Victims deserve a justice system that advocates for their interests instead of pandering to those of criminals. The Scottish government needs to get a grip. "Instead of emptying our prisons, it should provide better, more widely-available rehabilitation programmes and throughcare to get the reoffending rate down, which is in everyone's interest." The spectacles have been created by local communities, with trees sponsored and dressed by businesses, organisations, charities and schools. The popularity of Christmas Tree Festivals has grown year by year, with the Church of the Holy Cross, in Uckfield, East Sussex, now celebrating its eighth year. Last year, more than 5,000 people visited the festival, and this year the church is filled with 83 trees reflecting the wide range of activities within the town. A variety of entertainment runs alongside the festival, with any donations received going towards the upkeep of the church and the Children's Society. St Andrew's Parish Church, in Farnham, Surrey, is holding its first Christmas Tree Festival after holding flower festivals in the past. All of its trees are artificial with some of the more innovative designs reflecting the organisations they represent. Meg Daniels, one of the organisers, said it cost almost £500 a day to keep the whole parish running, and any donations received during its four-day festival would go towards the upkeep of the church. She said the event was meant for everybody to enjoy. In Kent, the Reverend Kevin Barnard is officiating at his first Christmas as Vicar of Westerham. About 80 trees and wreaths decorate the Parish Church of St Mary The Virgin, sponsored by businesses, schools, families and individuals. Many trees remain in the church for the whole Christmas period, while others return to their designers and reappear in shops, offices and homes after the festival ends. The new vicar, who moved to the town in August, said of the festival: "I couldn't have had a better demonstration of St Mary's role at the heart of the community, just as it has been for centuries."

The new legislation would also sharply limit President Donald Trump's ability to lift any sanctions against Russia. He has previously said he needs diplomatic leeway with the Kremlin. Mr Trump's time in office has been dogged by claims that Russia tried to influence last year's US election. Moscow denies any wrongdoing but several US investigations are looking into whether anyone in the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials. Correspondents say the bipartisan agreement indicates determination in Congress to maintain a firm line against Russia, whatever Mr Trump's view. The president could veto the bill, but in doing so would fuel suspicion that he is too supportive of the Kremlin, correspondents say. On the other hand, if he signs it he would be imposing legislation that his administration is opposed to. Senator Ben Cardin, the most senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said agreement was reached after "intense negotiations". "A nearly united Congress is poised to send President Putin a clear message on behalf of the American people and our allies, and we need President Trump to help us deliver that message," he said. Chuck Schumer, Senate Democratic leader, said the House of Representatives and the Senate would act on the legislation "promptly, on a broad bipartisan basis". He said a strong sanctions bill was "essential". The bill also covers the possibility of further sanctions against Iran and North Korea. It has already passed the Senate and the House is due to vote on it on Tuesday. The legislation would allow new sanctions against Russia for its 2014 annexation of Crimea as well as for its alleged meddling in the US election. The US already has a raft of sanctions in place against Russian individuals and companies over Crimea. In December, following claims of election hacking, then President Barack Obama also expelled 35 diplomats and closed two Russian compounds in the US. The Kremlin has demanded that the seized compounds be returned and has threatened "specific measures" in retaliation. After high-level talks last week, one Russian official involved said the row had "almost" been resolved. However, the new US bill would make it hard for President Trump to alter sanctions or return diplomatic properties without the approval of Congress. During his presidential campaign, Mr Trump hinted he would consider recognising Crimea as part of Russia and suggested lifting sanctions. In another development, Russia's ambassador to the US, Sergei Kislyak, has returned home after ending his nine-year tenure. Mr Kislyak has been linked to several of President Trump's associates and has been named by US media as a key figure in the investigation into alleged election interference. Mr Kislyak's successor has not yet been named. US authorities continue to investigate possible collusion between the Trump team and Russia, claims Mr Trump has repeatedly denied. In a new twist on Saturday, reports emerged that Mr Trump was considering presidential pardons for family members, aides and even himself. Presidents have the power to pardon people before guilt is established or even before the person is charged with a crime. He tweeted: "While all agree the U.S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us. FAKE NEWS." Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat who sits on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, described the reports as disturbing, adding: "Pardoning any individuals who may have been involved would be crossing a fundamental line."

Leaders of both parties in the US Congress have agreed on legislation that allows fresh sanctions to punish Russia for alleged election meddling.

4 August 2013 Last updated at 08:42 BST Kirobo will provide company for a Japanese astronaut who's due to arrive at the station later this year. It is part of a study to see how machines can help people who are on their own for a long time feel less lonely. Before blast off the 14 cm tall robot said that his journey was 'one small step for me, a giant leap for robots! The android took off from the island of Tanegashima in an unmanned rocket also carrying supplies for crew onboard the ISS. UN humanitarian co-ordinator Peter Lundberg said that overall 14 million people needed humanitarian assistance in a region that was the former stronghold of Boko Haram militants. He warned that the UN did not have enough funds to avert the crisis. Boko Haram jihadists laid waste to the region before being pushed back by Nigerian forces in recent months. "Currently our assessment is that 14 million people are identified as in need of humanitarian assistance" by 2017, Mr Lundberg said in Nigeria's capital Abuja on Tuesday. He added that this figure included some 400,000 children, and that 75,000 of them "are going to die in the few months ahead of us... if we don't do something rapidly and seriously". Tens of thousands of people have been killed and more than two million displaced since Boko Haram began its military operations in 2009 in the Borno state and other areas. In July, the UN warned that almost a quarter of a million children in parts of Borno were suffering from severe malnutrition. Town divided by Boko Haram legacy On patrol against Boko Haram Who are Boko Haram? Ex-City loan striker Danny Philliskirk looked to have made a dramatic return to the Ricoh Arena by giving the Latics a 13th-minute lead from close range. But, when the referee awarded six minutes of time added on, it inspired City's grand finale. Striker Frank Nouble lofted a right-wing cross to the far post - and Johnson powered in a header. On a night when four of their fellow League One strugglers also drew, Coventry moved a little closer to safety, now four points clear of trouble with three games left - although their next game is a trip to newly-promoted Bristol City. Coventry wasted a great early chance from Nouble's far-post knockdown, when the ball came at an awkward height for Nick Proschwitz, whose looping close-range header was too weak to beat Oldham goalkeeper Joel Coleman. And they were quickly made to pay from a classic training ground routine when Connor Brown pulled back for Philliskirk to clip home a low left-footed shot from six yards. But, other than Coleman having to touch over Grant Ward's inswinging corner on the stroke of half time, City produced little threat of note until Johnson's late intervention, leaving them with a record of just one win in six home games under new boss Tony Mowbray. Coventry manager Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire: "One more will get us over the line. That was the best performance we've put in at home since I came here. "The fans were great for us. They sucked the ball in. There might have been only 7,000 here but they made that much noise, it made it sound like there were 27,000. "The Oldham players complained to the ref that Frank Nouble had fouled Connor Brown in the build-up to our equaliser, but I didn't think it was a foul." The running of dozens of libraries and one-stop shops will be handed over to community groups and town councils. Closures cannot be ruled out for libraries which do not have arrangements, Cornwall Council said. Campaigners said the move would lead to a fragmented service with varying levels of staff expertise. It is hoped several libraries will be taken over by April 2016, while discussions continue over those which do not have plans in place to be taken over. Lauren Smith, a campaigner from Voices for Libraries said it would result in "a postcode lottery of services which is against the kind of fundamental principal of universal services like libraries." Leon Remphry, 11, handed over a petition of more than 5,000 signatures last year against cuts to library services. He said some town councils have the drive and the and capacity to do this but some of the smaller council will be unable. Councillor Geoff Brown, cabinet member for libraries, said closing libraries was "the last thing the council wanted to do" but they "could not exclude it" as an option. "We're very conscious of what happens to those libraries that are left where they haven't had any expressions of interest and won't be devolved," he said. "We have to still maintain a sort of efficient in those areas. How we do that, we're not yet clear on." Years of low interest rates and cheap borrowing costs, record high stock markets, and a recovery that is finally picking up steam combined to mark 2014 as the busiest year for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) since the recession. This year's pace is even faster as consumer spending has picked up over the past year. The latest is a €4.4bn (£3.2bn) deal announced between US company FedEx and Dutch firm TNT, which would propel it into one of the three largest parcel delivery services in Europe, rivalling DHL and UPS if approved. Strikingly, the €8 per share offered in cash by FedEx is 33% higher than TNT's share price. FedEx is aiming for a foothold into Europe through this acquisition and believes it can turn around struggling TNT. Like last year when 10 of the 15 largest acquisitions were US-based companies, the FedEx deal reflects the cash-rich balance sheets of American multinationals after years of rising stock markets. According to Thompson Reuters data, global M&A activity rose 47% from 2013 to reach $3.5 trillion last year. They were driven by large deals like FedEx's. There were 95 valued at $5bn or more in 2014 and several mega deals, such as Comcast's $70.67bn deal with Time Warner Cable. This year, there's the Heinz Kraft $40bn mega-merger, which I have written about before. Last month also saw AbbVie's $21bn deal to buy Pharmacyclics. M&A transactions in the biotech and pharma sector have already reached $59bn in 2015, which is a 94% increase over the same period a year ago. Towers Watson and Cass Business School found that the first quarter of 2015 was the busiest for M&A since at least 2008, with 41 large deals worth more than $1bn - an all-time high for the first three months of the year. The deals are happening largely in the US, Europe as well as Asia, so the reach is global. M&A activity rose by 51% in the US and by 55% in Europe. KPMG surveyed 735 M&A professionals from American companies, private equity firms and investment banks, and found that 79% had made one acquisition in 2014 while 82% planned to make at least one deal in 2015. Some 40% of respondents said that large cash reserves were the main driver of their M&A activity. The Federal Reserve says that there is a record amount of cash sitting on US corporate balance sheets, of some $2.05tn. When cash sits idle - when there's more than is needed for financing operations - there'll be questions over whether that money could be put to better use, say through investment and creating jobs. High US corporate tax rates are thought to have contributed to American companies parking money overseas. And that's caught the attention of President Obama, whose 2015-16 budget aims to raise $238bn from an one-off 14% tax on about $2tn in earnings stashed overseas by American multinational companies and will use that money for infrastructure investment. Surely that move will help spur more cash deals. So, coming back to 2015 being another record year for M&A, the most active sectors are healthcare, tech/media, and consumer goods. FedEx's latest acquisition reflects the growth of both the tech and the consumer goods markets. As bricks and mortar shops struggle against the rise of e-commerce, there'll be more goods ordered online to be delivered to homes. In the UK alone, Barclays estimates that products ordered online in 2013 generated more than one billion deliveries, and this number is forecast to grow by nearly 30% by 2018. Even so, the entry of Amazon and the failure of CityLink show that the parcel delivery market is a highly competitive one. Doing deals in the first part of the year may be even more important as companies aim to take advantage of record low borrowing costs before US interest rates are expected to rise, likely later this year. This is why 2015 is being viewed as another strong year for M&A. Seeing cash being put to work will be welcome, but it will also mean greater uncertainty for jobs as M&A usually means restructuring operations. So, it looks like we'll be seeing more of these billion dollar deal headlines for a while. "I'm looking at that right now," he told Bloomberg News. White House spokesman Sean Spicer said there were no further details and no announcement was planned. Shares in banks initially fell after President Trump's comments before recovering ground. US banks were permitted to own both High Street banks and investment banking operations in 1999, when the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed. Some argue the repeal set the groundwork for the financial crisis in 2007-8. During the campaign, President Trump expressed support for a "21st-century" Glass-Steagall Act. "There's some people that want to go back to the old system, right? So we're going to look at that," the president told Bloomberg, in response to a question about breaking up the banks. Donald Trump tells banks he will give laws a 'haircut' Viewpoint: Putting finance in its place US senators introduce 'new' legislation to separate banks But the odds of anything happening this year are low, according to Larry McDonald the author of A Colossal Failure of Common Sense, a book about the collapse of Lehman Brothers. While keeping consumer deposits and riskier banking practices separate makes sense, Mr McDonald said the Trump administration has more pressing priorities, such as tax reform. "With all the lobbyists and everything they have to do... this is way down the list," he said. Mr McDonald said there are good political reasons why the president might want to take a tough line on the banking industry. "The average little guy loves to hear this, so he's going to score points with his base and it may not hurt him politically at all because it may not get done," he said. The idea has support from some key US congressional figures, such as Democrat Elizabeth Warren and Republican John McCain. But any change is likely to face stiff resistance from the banking industry, making approval in Congress difficult. The American Bankers Association said on Monday it opposes reintroduction of Glass-Steagall. "There is broad agreement, including among all our bank regulatory agencies, that Glass-Steagall would not have prevented the crisis or the housing market collapse," association president Rob Nichols said in a statement. President Trump has also promised to roll back legislation covering the banking sector, including the Dodd-Frank regulations introduced following the financial crisis. Dodd-Frank was designed in part to protect consumer banking operations from riskier investment banking business. Among other provisions, it required banks keep money in reserve at levels the president has said he thinks are onerous on smaller operations. Earlier, US Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin said he believed the American economy could be growing at a rate of three percent within two years, thanks to the administrations proposed tax reforms. On the campaign trail Trump promised growth of 4% a year. The economy is currently growing at a rate of 0.7%. McGuire is world individual champion in the BC4 classification, while Smith won team gold alongside double Paralympic gold medallist Murray at Beijing 2008. Games debutants Josh Rowe and Claire Taggart, Patrick Wilson, and brothers Jamie and Scott McCowan are also named. Kieran Steer and Evie Edwards complete the line-up. Matt Hammond, team leader for GB Boccia, said: "Today's announcement is a proud moment. "The team is as strong as it's ever been and these athletes have been pushed to deliver the performances needed to secure their place on the team. "I'd like to congratulate the athletes and their competition partners for all of their hard work up to this point and I believe we can pose a real threat to our rivals on the court in Rio." The Paralympic Games get under way in Brazil on 7 September.

The test was planned months ago, but comes amid rising tension with North Korea over its weapons programme. Pyongyang claimed it has tested a series of missiles in recent weeks. On 4 July, Pyongyang said it had carried out its first successful test of an inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM). It said the Hwasong-14 could hit "any part of the world", but the US military described it as an intermediate-range missile. North Korea has repeatedly defied a UN resolution banning all nuclear and missile activity, and has ramped up the pace of its tests in recent months. "The successful demonstration of Thaad against an IRBM-range missile threat bolsters the country's defensive capability against developing missile threats in North Korea and other countries," the US Missile Defense Agency said in a statement on Tuesday. The ground-based system, designed to intercept short, medium and intermediate ballistic missiles, has hit its target all 14 intercept attempts since testing began more than a decade ago, but the latest test was the first ever success against an IRBM, according to US officials. In Tuesday's test in Kodiak, Alaska, Thaad shot down a ballistic missile target launched from a C-17 aircraft flying north of Hawaii, according to the agency. The US has installed Thaad in Guam and at a former golf course in South Korea, amid angry protests. South Koreans in central county of Seongju, where the system is located, believe it is a potential target for attacks and endangers the lives of those living nearby. China also strongly opposes the system, believing it interferes with the security of its own military operations. Earlier this month, both Beijing and Moscow urged the US to end its deployment of Thaad in South Korea. When the announcement of the Thaad deployment was made last year, North Korea promised a "physical response", with state media expressing the "unwavering will of our army to deal a ruthless retaliatory strike". The US Missile Defense Agency told lawmakers in June it plans to deploy more than 50 Thaad systems to the US Army between October 2017 and September 2018. What impact will S Korea's expanded missile defence system have? 1. The enemy launches a missile 2. The Thaad radar system detects the launch, which is relayed to command and control 3. Thaad command and control instructs the launch of an interceptor missile 4. The interceptor missile is fired at the enemy projectile 5. The enemy projectile is destroyed in the terminal phase of flight The launcher trucks can hold up to eight interceptor missiles. The Blades had been heavily criticised for agreeing to allow Evans to train at the club after his release from prison. Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill stated that she wanted her name removed from one of the Bramall Lane stands should he play for the club again. The club said reaction to their initial decision "has been at an intensity that could not have been anticipated". In a statement it said: "Sheffield United have decided to retract the opportunity for its former player, Ched Evans, to use the club's facilities for training purposes," adding that the U-turn followed consultation with supporters, officials, staff and sponsors. "We recognise that a number of our supporters will be disappointed with this decision, but would ask that they remember the responsibilities we have not only to a fine and proud club, but also to the communities in which Sheffield United is active. "The club condemns rape and violence of any kind against women in the strongest possible terms." Evans was released last month after serving half of a five-year sentence for the rape a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room in 2011. TV presenter Charlie Webster, 60s pop star Dave Berry and Sheffield businesswoman Lindsay Graham have all resigned as patrons of the club since Evans was invited to return to training, while musician Paul Heaton stood down as a patron of the club's community foundation. Shirt sponsor DBL Logistics also threatened to end its backing of the club should Evans sign a contract to play. Webster tweeted that Sheffield United had done "the right thing" in changing their position. "It's the right thing for the club, its fans, its community and the victim. Sheffield United is a great club with a fantastic history and now its future can be fantastic too," she wrote. More than 165,000 people have signed a petition opposing Evans' possible re-employment by the club, although some of United's fans have chanted support for the 25-year-old, who scored 48 goals in 113 appearances for the club before his conviction. Manager Nigel Clough had previously said the Blades were "nowhere near" re-signing Evans and that the final decision on the matter would be taken by co-owners Prince Abdullah Bin Musa'ad Bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia and Kevin McCabe. Media playback is not supported on this device The Football League has said that "while we fully understand the gravity of the offence", if a request were received from any of its member clubs to register Evans, it would "have no option but to accept it". Richard Caborn, former Sheffield Central MP, former Minister of Sport and Sheffield United fan, said that Evans' future as a professional footballer might depend on whether the Criminal Cases Review Commission overturned his conviction. "I think the vast majority of people will welcome the United statement," he told BBC Radio Sheffield. "I think United will have to wait, as indeed the rest of professional football will have to wait, until the decisions have been made by the courts of the land." The Dow Jones was ended 259 points higher - or 1.5% - at 17,813. The S&P 500 gained 31 points to 2,063, while the tech-focused Nasdaq index rose 82, or 1.8%, to 4,750. The euro dipped to an 11-year low against the dollar with the dollar rising more than 2% to 0.8802 euro cents. Amid the gains there was some disappointing company news. American Express shares fell 4% after the company said it was planning to cut about 4,000 jobs, about 6% of its workforce. Shares in Verizon Communications dropped 1% after it reported a $2.15bn loss for the fourth quarter. Verizon said average revenue per account rose to $158.82 from $157.21, but was still below analysts' expectations. Northampton Borough Council lent the money to Northampton Town FC but work on the Sixfields Stadium stalled and the club has since been taken over. The council initially wrote off the loan before setting aside £950,000 to try and recover the money. However, a report by auditors KPMG has now revealed most of the £950,000 has now been spent. Live: For more on this and other Northamptonshire stories The report said: "From the £950,000 authorised, the authority has spent or committed a large proportion to date. "Despite this, the authority has not had any success in recovering the lost monies." The council has refused to say exactly how much of the £950,000 has been spent so far, citing "commercial sensitivity". The council is yet to state whether it intends to continue pursing the lost loan money. A PricewaterhouseCoopers audit report published last year found a number of issues with the approval and handing over of the loan money. It claimed that, due to "political and management pressure", the loan was not properly checked. Northampton Town was given the £10.2m to redevelop Sixfields stadium three years ago, 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. A police inquiry is examining the handling of the loan. Haveron quit Carrick in May after keeping them in the Premiership and he replaces Alan Kernaghan following his resignation last month. His first match in charge is against rivals Linfield on Saturday. The Nixon brothers, who would have managed together at the Oval, are former Glentoran players. The club made their decision to appoint Haveron after the trio were interviewed on Tuesday night. Former Coleraine and Ballymena United player Haveron left Carrick after a controversial end to last season. Rangers avoided relegation by finishing 10th but the club was later charged for failing to implement Haveron's touchline ban against Dungannnon. It could have resulted in Carrick losing three points and being relegated but the Irish FA decided not to apply any sanction following a hearing. The Nixons are now at Championship club H&W Welders. Colin, who made a record 792 appearances for Glentoran, works with the Welders U20 side while Alan is first-team coach. Glentoran have made a poor start to the season and lie 10th in the Premiership standings while Kernaghan stepped down after a shock League Cup defeat by Annagh United. It is believed most of the dead came from Eritrea and Somalia, so all must have taken not only the risky sea crossing, but a long and hazardous journey across the Sahara desert as well. "I still can't believe it when I think about the Sahara," said Samson Kidane, an Eritrean who is now a refugee in Switzerland. "It was so difficult to cross. We were more than 30 people in a small automobile, and later we were in a container, more than 120 people for 24 hours." Mr Kidane, like many young Eritreans, fled his country's forced, indefinite military conscription, a system which requires all citizens to serve in the army for an unlimited amount of time. Human rights groups have condemned the practice as akin to slavery, claiming that a lack of freedom of press and expression, and widespread arbitrary detention and torture, mean that the only real way to avoid conscription is to flee the country. Until June of this year, Switzerland accepted avoidance of Eritrea's military service as a valid reason for claiming asylum, and the country now has one of Europe's biggest communities of Eritrean refugees. But Switzerland, like many European countries, no longer allows applications for asylum to be made at its embassies abroad, meaning that anyone wanting to make a claim must make their way, somehow, to Switzerland. Human rights groups suggest Europe's asylum policies are a contributory factor to the regular boat tragedies in the Mediterranean. Daniela Enzler, an asylum adviser with Amnesty International and the Swiss charity Caritas, said she was not surprised by this week's loss of life. "Almost every week boats sink in the Mediterranean," she said. "It's a tragedy that people can't apply for asylum in embassies anymore. If they could, they would not have to risk this journey… Lives could be saved." When Mr Kidane was finally granted refugee status by the Swiss, it was the end of a journey which could easily have cost him his life. After crossing the Sahara, which cost each man more than $1,000 (£621; 735 euros), he and his friends had to find what he calls a "businessman" to get them across the Mediterranean. "If you pay the money for the journey, the businessman sometimes disappears with the money," he said. In the end his trafficker took another $1,200 from each member of the group, and organised five small boats, each carrying around 30 people. After 53 hours at sea, Mr Kidane arrived in Italy. But only two boats arrived. Three had sunk, one of them carrying his best friend. Both human rights groups like Amnesty International and the UN refugee agency have expressed concern that national coastguards and Europe's joint border patrol Frontex are more interested in pushing migrants and asylum seekers back than they are in rescuing those in distress. "Nearly every asylum seeker I have met who made the Mediterranean crossing told me they had seen boats pass by, even helicopters flying overhead," said Daniela Enzler, "but distress calls were ignored." That allegation is borne out by the experience of Bemnet Aron, who fled Eritrea aged just 17. An exhausting journey across the Sahara was followed by three months working in Libya, while he tried to earn the money for the sea crossing. Eventually he got a place in a boat, with around 80 other people. "The boat was overloaded, too heavy," he remembered, "and after three days we ran out of fuel." As time went on food and then water ran out too. "We started to drink our own urine," he said, "but some people couldn't bring themselves to do that." One by one, people began to die. "We saw other boats going by, one very close, and we all jumped up and waved and shouted, but it just kept on going." Mr Aron drifted in the Mediterranean for days. When he and his colleagues were finally rescued, just five were left alive - 75 had died, of thirst, hunger, and exposure. Now 21, he is also a refugee in Switzerland, but his traumatic experiences continue to affect his ability to lead a normal life. The UN's High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, has said he hopes the latest tragedy in the Mediterranean will serve as a "wake-up call". "There is something fundamentally wrong in a world where people in need of protection have to resort to these perilous journeys," he said. And the refugee agency's Director of Protection, Volker Turk, believes Europe must now engage in a political debate and find solutions to prevent further deaths. "What happened should go high up on the political agenda of governments, not just in the Mediterranean, but in all parts of the world where lives are lost every day in the most cruel circumstances because people flee out of despair, and try to cross the sea in rickety boats," he said. But with unemployment high in many countries, and opinion polls consistently suggesting that immigration and asylum worry voters, Europe is unlikely to relax its polices. And as conflict, poverty and repression continue to affect parts of Africa and the Middle East, people like Mr Kidane and Mr Aron will go on risking their lives in the hope of a better future. Mushin Ahmed died 11 days after he was attacked by Dale Jones and Damien Hunt, both 30, as he walked to prayers at a mosque in Rotherham in August. Jones, of Norwood Street, Rotherham, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 32 years. He was convicted of murder. Hunt, of Doncaster Road, Rotherham, was jailed for 14 years for manslaughter. During the trial at Sheffield Crown Court, jurors heard Jones attacked Mr Ahmed after accusing him of being a "groomer". Prosecutor Andrew Robertson QC said there was "no doubt" Jones abused Mr Ahmed "for no better reason than Mr Ahmed was Asian". During the attack Mr Ahmed was kicked so hard the imprint of a trainer was left on his face. His false teeth were also broken during the attack, with Hunt's DNA later being recovered from the shattered dentures. The court heard Jones was in a "raging fury" fuelled by drink and drugs and, shortly before attacking Mr Ahmed, had racially abused an Asian taxi driver. Det Ch Insp Victoria Short said the "brutal and unprovoked attack" had sent "shockwaves" through the local community. She said: "This extreme violence is nothing short of sickening and highlights just how dangerous these individuals are. "They have never given an explanation for their own vicious actions that evening, but the court heard how Mr Ahmed was assaulted because of the colour of his skin, a fact that is as disturbing as it is despicable." Proceedings against a third man, 21-year-old Kieran Rice, were discontinued in October. He was released without further action. Some 9.24 million people completed their self-assessment tax forms via the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) website. A total of 1.14 million returns, the other 11% of submissions, were filed on paper before an earlier deadline. Some 870,000 expected returns were not received by the deadline, with those individuals facing financial penalties. These fines start at £100, even if there is no tax to pay, before rising to an additional £10 a day after three months, and rising further if returns are more than six and 12 months late. The busiest period for self-assessment submissions was between 14:00 GMT and 15:00 GMT on Friday, when 50,358 people sent through their forms online. "Each year, we are dedicated to making the self-assessment process easier and more intuitive," said Ruth Owen, director general for personal tax at HMRC. The Friday surge came despite many people facing disruption when trying to access HSBC bank accounts online, with the bank being "attacked" by cyber criminals. The claim is made in the 23rd annual cost-of-living survey carried out by the advisory firm Mercer. Tokyo, Zurich and Singapore comprise the rest of the top five. London has fallen to just 30th place in the rankings, partly because of the pound's devaluation, with other big UK cities also dropping down the rankings. "UK cities have fallen again this year as the British pound weakened before, and after, the EU referendum last summer," said Kate Fitzpatrick of Mercer. "However, London did not drop as far as may be expected, with steep prices keeping London as one of the most expensive cities for expatriates worldwide. "The capital's rental costs remain at the higher end globally and have remained stable, or increased slightly over the last year as construction cannot keep up with demand," she added. After London, the other most expensive UK cities were Aberdeen (146th), Birmingham (147th), Glasgow (161st) and Belfast (170th). The annual survey looks at more than just the cost to expats of renting an apartment or house. It examines the cost of 200 items in each place, including housing, transport, clothes, food and entertainment. Thus it compares the cost of buying a cinema ticket, a pair of jeans, a litre of water, a cup of coffee, a litre of petrol, a litre of milk, and bread and beer. The position of Luanda, which has topped these rankings frequently in the past few years, is influenced by the cost of secure accommodation for expat staff as well as for everyday goods. For instance, the cost of renting an unfurnished three-bedroom house of "international standards in an appropriate neighbourhood" is put at a whopping $13,000 US dollars (£10,300) a month. In general, Asian and European cities are the most expensive. Places six to 10 in the annual rankings are taken by Seoul, Geneva, Shanghai, New York and Bern. Mercer uses New York as its benchmark for comparing the costs of living in other cities, and measures currency movements against the US dollar. "Overall, US cities either remained stable in the ranking or have slightly increased due to the movement of the US dollar against the majority of currencies worldwide," said Mercer. The economy minister said there was a "significant question around the viability of the project" and an "unacceptable risk" to the government underwriting the entire project. Edwina Hart said she had "reluctantly come to the conclusion" not to proceed with the guarantee after legal advice. Insurance firm Aviva has been expected to back the project. Michael Carrick, the CEO of Heads of The Valleys Development Company which is behind the project, said negotiations with the Welsh Government and Aviva would continue. He said: "We respect and understand the minister's decision on the support for a 100% guarantee for our private funding. While this was our clear preference and reflective of the negotiations we have held over the past six months, we accept that the project will need to progress on revised terms." Aviva's money would have allowed work on the track, which aims to bring thousands of bike fans for motor sport events like the MotoGP and employ up to 6,000 people in the south Wales area. Ministers agreed to provide grant aid of £16m to support job creation if the project goes ahead. But the sticking point came over the Welsh Government being asked to provide a financial guarantee to the privately-funded project. Ministers took legal and financial advice, including from outside, and it was after final external advice that Mrs Hart made her decision. Aviva would not comment. Mrs Hart, in a letter to First Minister Carwyn Jones, said: "As you will be aware we have been working to support this project for a significant period of time and have already in effect spent around £9m in support of its development. "We also explored sharing the risk with several local authorities, and as you are aware that option also failed unfortunately. "In these last few days we have considered that a guarantee of 80% of the total value of the project may have reduced our risk to an acceptable level, but the Circuit have not been able to secure any real private risk capital and so this option has not been possible." Mrs Hart added that given the existing substantial investment in the project "it is important that we keep the door open to any new investors who might be able to take this project forward". Sports car company TVR last month agreed to set up its new factory at Ebbw Vale near the planned circuit. The town has had many millions spent regenerating it after the steelworks closed in 2002 but unemployment has remained high. In a statement, McIlroy said that "my health and my family's health comes before everything else". "Even though the risk of infection from the Zika virus is considered low, it is a risk nonetheless and a risk I am unwilling to take," said McIlroy, 27. Vijay Singh and Australia's Marc Leishman have already pulled out of the Games because of the Zika issue. Earlier this month, four-time major winner McIlroy, who was set to represent Ireland in Rio, said that his concerns over the virus had eased. The mosquito-borne virus has been linked to brain defects in newborn babies. World number four McIlroy's decision is to a blow to a sport which will be making a return to the Olympics after a 112-year absence. A number of top golfing stars, including major winners Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen, have already pulled out for scheduling and family reasons. McIlroy added: "I trust the Irish people will understand my decision. "The unwavering support I receive every time I compete in a golf tournament at home or abroad means the world to me. "I will continue to endeavour to make my fans and fans of golf proud with my play on the course and my actions off it." Ireland's Olympic governing body said that it was "extremely disappointed not to be taking Rory with us to Rio" but added that it "respected his decision". The Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) statement added that it had "total confidence that the Games will be safe for all athletes". It said the OCI has taken its lead from the International Olympic Committee on the Zika situation and was also following recommendations of the Rio 2016 organisers, the World Health Organisation and national health authorities. After deliberating over the issue, Northern Irishman McIlroy announced in May 2014 that he had decided to play for Ireland and not Great Britain at the Rio Games. The International Golf Federation also said it was "disappointed" by the decision, but added it accepted players each had to "weigh personally a unique set of circumstances". "People were aware that Rory McIlroy did have concerns. He mentioned the Zika virus a couple of weeks ago. He is 27, engaged to Erica Stoll and has spoken about his desire to start a family in the very near future. "That said, only last week in a news conference at the US Open Rory said golf's return to the Olympics is something we should be getting excited about. "Jason Day has raised one or two concerns about the Zika virus, but he has also expressed a desire to represent his country in Rio. "Day is the world's number one player and people will be watching very closely to see what his reaction is now that McIlroy has taken this decision." Pregnant women have been advised not to travel to areas where there are outbreaks of Zika, while women have also been advised to avoid falling pregnant in these areas. But the International Olympic Committee, following World Health Organisation advice, says it has "total confidence" the Games will be safe for athletes. Jonathan Ball, professor of molecular virology at the University of Nottingham, said McIlroy's decision struck him as being "extreme". "The chances of being infected by Zika virus is low, especially if you protect yourself from mosquito bites by covering up and using a good insect repellent. Most people infected don't even show any symptoms and serious illness, although reported, seems to be a very rare event," he added. Dr Derek Gatherer, lecturer in biomedical and life sciences at Lancaster University, said: "If Mr McIlroy is contemplating becoming a father within a year or so, then it is a perfectly reasonable precaution to stay away from regions of active Zika transmission. "On the other hand, if he is not going to become a father any time soon, he has little to worry about." BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter: While McIlroy's concerns over the risk to his and his family's health should be respected, his withdrawal provides worries for the credibility of golf's return to the Games. With Marc Leishman and Vijay Singh also steering clear because of Zika fears and Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel staying away for scheduling reasons, the list of absentees is growing. There will now be close attention on world number one Jason Day and Masters champion Danny Willett. Both have expressed Zika concerns. If golf has a higher proportion of Rio absentees than other sports, questions over whether it should have been readmitted to the Games will grow louder. Report says RUC let down residents The booby-trap device exploded at 38 Kildrum Gardens in the Creggan on 31 August 1988. Two people died in the explosion. A third person, who was injured, died seven months later. Dr Maguire, said police did not fulfil their duty to protect the public. However, he said this was not prompted by a desire to protect an informant. Eugene Dalton, who was 55, and Sheila Lewis, who was 60, died in the explosion. Another man, Gerard Curran, died the following year from his injuries. The Police Ombudsman's investigation found that three weeks before the explosion, police records showed police received "reliable information" that the IRA intended to place a booby-trap bomb in a house in the city. This was designed to prompt officers to carry out follow-up enquiries, during which they would be the targets of the concealed bomb. The ombudsman found that police were told five days before the explosion that a car abandoned in Kildrum Gardens was "convenient to a house" that had been booby-trapped and that, if necessary, the terrorists planned to stage another incident to lure police to the property. Three days before the explosion, police were aware that a document with the address of 38 Kildrum Gardens was dropped during a robbery at a local chip shop. Records show that police treated the robbery as a "potential attempt" to lure officers into a trap and decided to delay going to the address. Some time after 11:00 BST on 31 August, Mr Dalton, Mrs Lewis and Mr Curran had gone to 38 Kildrum Gardens, a top floor flat, concerned about the welfare of the man who lived there and whom they had not seen for a week. They were unaware that he had been abducted by the IRA. As they went inside the flat the device exploded. Dr Maguire said there was "strong evidence" the police had sufficient information that they ought to have known the bomb was in the vicinity of Kildrum Gardens, even if they could not be sure which property it was in. "We found no evidence of any effort to pinpoint the exact location of the device or to warn the people who lived in and frequented the area," he said. "The police placed the area 'out of bounds' to their officers." Dr Maguire said in compiling his report, staff had talked to former police officers and considered other things that were happening in the city at that time, which, he said, "must have placed enormous pressures on policing". "The safety of officers was obviously a critical concern and police were rightly very cautious in responding to such incidents," he said. "However, police allowed a booby-trap bomb to remain in a location which presented a very real risk to life. There was an obligation on police to protect the lives of the public and I have to conclude that they failed in this regard. "They failed to do all that could reasonably have been expected of them in the circumstances. "That being said, let there be no doubt that the responsibility for the deaths rests with those who put the bomb there - the IRA." An investigation was launched after members of Mr Dalton's family complained to the Police Ombudsman's office that police had failed to warn people in the area and, in particular, failed to uphold their father's right to life. The family alleged these failures were prompted by a desire to protect the identity of a police informant and also complained that police failed to investigate properly what had happened. With regard to the allegation that police did not investigate the bombing properly, the Police Ombudsman said the RUC investigation involved a range of activities but said he had to conclude that it was "flawed and incomplete". "My staff found evidence that there was an initial flurry of activity by officers investigating the bombing, but that within a short period this was scaled down and lost focus," he said. "I am aware of the enormous and competing pressures on policing then, but by the standards of the time this was an inadequate investigation." Dr Maguire said the current police procedures for dealing with security incidents were "very different". "I note that police response to such threats today is much more inclusive of the community," he added. The Police Ombudsman said his investigation was "wide ranging", involved the interview of more than 40 people and recovered almost 400 documents related to the events. Police Service of Northern Ireland Deputy Chief Constable Judith Gillespie said: "For police officers, whose duty it is to protect life, there is a deep and sincere sorrow for the loss of the lives of Eugene Dalton, Sheila Lewis and Gerard Curran. "To their friends and families, on behalf of the police service I am truly sorry for the loss of their loved ones. "The Police Ombudsman has been clear from the outset that the responsibility for the deaths of Mr Dalton, Mrs Lewis and the injuries to Mr Curran rests with those who planted the bomb. "I would make a renewed appeal for the people who know who did this to come forward with information." "Today, the policing response to a threat to life would be very different," she added. DCC Gillespie said it was "disappointing that a number of retired officers felt unable to engage with the Police Ombudsman's investigation in a way which would have painted a fuller picture and enabled a greater understanding of the challenging and dangerous world in which they were operating." The drugs, with an estimated street value of A$360m (£212m; $258m), were uncovered after a police investigation over more than two years. Police said they seized 500kg (1,100lb) of cocaine from a boat in Brooklyn, north of Sydney, on Christmas Day. It followed the confiscation of 600kg in drugs in Tahiti. Police believe they were destined for Australia. "The size of that seizure collectively makes it the largest cocaine seizure in Australian law enforcement history," Australian Federal Police acting assistant commissioner Chris Sheehan told reporters. "The criminal syndicate we have dismantled over the last few days was a robust, resilient and determined syndicate." The drugs are believed to have originated in South America. Local media reported one of the accused men was a former National Rugby League player. In early December, police and border officials began monitoring a vessel that was travelling between Sydney's popular fish markets and the central coast of New South Wales. On Christmas night, police said a small boat was launched from the vessel and later docked in Brooklyn. Authorities swooped on the boat and arrested three men. Another 12 men have been arrested over the past several days. The men, aged between 29 and 63, have been charged with conspiracy to import a commercial quantity of border-controlled drugs. If convicted, they face a maximum sentence of life in prison. Mr Sheehan claimed the men were "well-connected" and part of a sophisticated crime group. "We've gone from the top to the bottom, the entire group has been taken out," he said. New South Wales Police assistant commissioner Mark Jenkins said officers spent thousands of hours on the operation. "This job started with a thread of information that was given to the New South Wales drugs squad over two-and-a-half years ago," he said. "I want to thank the community for that information." Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue service was called after the dog was spotted on Long Row, Llanelli. A crew used a 10ft (3m) ladder to bring it down safely. It is not clear how the dog got there, but firefighters said it was safe and well after being rescued at about 20:20 BST on Monday. Here are some of the things their surveys have been saying: According to a newly released study by Ipsos Mori, age was the the biggest dividing factor in this election since it began its estimates in 1979. YouGov agrees, calling age the "new dividing line in British politics". Both companies, and Lord Ashcroft's exit poll, found Labour did better among under 50s, and the Tories with older voters. According to Ipsos Mori, the 25 to 34 age group was where Labour got the biggest swing from the Conservatives. To illustrate its "dividing line" point, YouGov said Labour was 47 percentage points ahead among 18 and 19-year-olds - with the Conservatives 50 ahead among over 70s. Plenty has been said about this - see the BBC's Reality Check verdict here - and YouGov and Ipsos Mori agree that turnout among under 24s went up. According to Ipsos Mori, it increased by 16 percentage points from 2015 to 54%, although it warned that its turnout estimate should be treated with caution. Despite the apparent increases in turnout among young people, Ipsos Mori and YouGov both agreed that older people were still considerably more likely to vote. YouGov estimated the turnout among over 70s at 84%. A university education looks like an indicator as to how someone might have voted on 8 June. "While the Conservatives' support decreases the more educated a voter is, the opposite was true for Labour and the Lib Dems," YouGov said. "Alongside age, education has become one of the key electoral demographic dividing lines." Ipsos Mori gave the Tories a whopping 17-point lead among people with no qualifications - and a seven point lead with voters educated to below degree level. But it said Labour had a 15-point lead among graduates (YouGov gave Labour a 17-point lead here). According to YouGov, class is "no longer a very good indicator of voting intention", finding little difference among the different socio-economic groupings between the two largest parties. In a reversal of the traditional class divide in British politics, Ipsos Mori found: "The middle classes swung to Labour, while working classes swung to the Conservatives." It's only two years since the last general election - and the Tories and Labour both kept 90% of their 2015 voters, Ipsos Mori says. Lord Ashcroft had this as 83% for Labour and 82% for the Tories. But only half of the Lib Dems' voters from last time around stayed with the party, Ipsos Mori said (more on this below). That was a finding from Ipsos Mori, which said Labour's lead here increased by six points to 54 points. Turnout among black and minority ethnic voters also increased by six points since 2015, it said. This was despite a concerted effort by the Conservatives to close the gap with Labour. Remainers in last year's referendum tended to back Labour, Leavers the Tories. Labour led the Conservatives by 47% to 33% among Remainers - while the Conservatives beat Labour by 46% to 39% among Leavers, Ipsos Mori said. Lord Ashcroft found that just over two-thirds of people who voted Tory on 8 June had backed Leave a year earlier - two thirds of Labour voters voted for Remain. No great surprise here. YouGov found the most pro-Conservative readership was the Daily Telegraph, followed by the Express and the Mail, all titles that backed Theresa May's party. Guardian readers were most likely to back Labour followed by the Mirror's. The Lib Dems' vote share was only slightly down from 2015 - but as mentioned above, Ipsos Mori said only half of the party's 2015 voters stayed with them this time. Where did the rest come from? Roughly the same number of Labour and Tories, says Ipsos Mori. But despite this "significant churn", the demographic profile of Lib Dems voters is "little changed", it said. The IMB report said maritime piracy was now more prevalent off the coast of West Africa than around Somalia. This is partly because an international naval task force has been patrolling the coast off Somalia. But it is also partly because of the peculiarities of the Nigerian economy and widespread corruption there. A map in the IMB report showing the most dangerous waters in West Africa draws a line around the coast of Nigeria - with a small extension into the territorial waters of the much smaller countries of Benin and Togo. While the typical modus operandi of a Somali pirate has been to hold ships and kidnap sailors for ransom, in Nigeria the main motivation is to steal crude oil or refined petroleum products from tankers. "Many vessels are attacked while at anchor, drifting, or conducting ship-to-ship transfers of refined cargo," said the IMB report. "Only 33% of vessels were attacked while actively in transit in the Gulf of Guinea. In contrast, attacks off Somalia almost always occur while ships are underway." The "story behind the story" of the IMB report - and the reason so many tankers are plying the coast in and out of Nigeria - has been a chronic failure by the authorities there to build and maintain domestic Nigerian oil refineries. To put it bluntly: There is so much money to be made from exporting crude from the sub-region's biggest oil producer - and re-importing refined fuel to the very large, petrol-thirsty Nigerian population - that developing a real, productive economy by doing things like building oil refineries has been almost forgotten. In a good year Nigeria produces more than two million barrels of oil a day, making it one of Africa's largest producers. But it only has the capacity to refine less than a quarter of that. In practice, poor maintenance at the handful of oil refineries means far less than a quarter is actually processed in-country. So every day hundreds of tankers are plying the Gulf of Guinea and the mangrove swamps of the Niger Delta, where Nigeria's many, relatively small and scattered onshore oilfields are found. The tankers are either taking crude out or bringing refined fuel back in. When combined with weak and sometimes corrupt security forces, this creates a perfect scenario in which pirates can operate. The swamps conceal numerous private jetties and mini-ports as well as a network of pipelines which are often broken into. Corruption and, until recently, armed rebellion in the oil producing areas have led to the development of an entire, well-organised industry for stealing - or, as it is known in Nigeria, "bunkering" - oil products. This criminal import-export industry has become almost institutionalised by a national government subsidy on petrol sales that costs the country several billion dollars a year and encourages illicit activities. The subsidy is paid to politically well-connected fuel importers to keep prices low and so stop unrest among the majority of Nigerians who are very poor. Nigerians know perfectly well how much money is being stolen at the top of their society and have therefore come to demand cheap petrol as their slice of the pie - and their political right. However, what actually happens to much of the subsidised fuel is that it, too, is sold on the black market at higher prices. When this happens, Nigerians are hit by a double whammy. Their government is ripped off by the fuel importers breaking the rules. And they are personally ripped off by the higher prices. Ordinary Nigerians live in a topsy-turvy world where petrol stations are never quite what they seem. It is commonplace in Nigeria to see petrol stations which are abandoned and empty - but where there are small mountains of stacked jerry cans of petrol being sold just by the roadside. The petrol stations are supposed to be selling the subsidised petrol. But the fuel has been diverted to the jerry cans where it is sold at a higher, black market rate. When the authorities clamp down on this diversion and fuel is correctly sold at the subsidised rate inside petrol stations, huge queues develop as people try to get their share. Some ministers in the Nigerian government have on occasion tried to remove the subsidy and introduce a more rational system. But they have been prevented from doing so by the threat of near revolution from ordinary people and what Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has called an "evil cabal" of people making money from the current arrangements. Warrington Wolves' Evans and Flower of Wigan Warriors will be in action in Saturday's Grand Final at Old Trafford. Both players had been named in an initial 29-man training squad, but have made themselves unavailable due to club commitments. Wales will also be without Tyson Frizell, who has been included in Australia's Four Nations squad. Salford Red Devils' Craig Kopczak will captain a squad featuring the majority of last year's European Championships winning side. Wales host Serbia at Stebonheath Park's Llanelli on 15 October and and face Italy in Monza on 29 October. "It is an important period for Wales as we aim to make the World Cup next season," head coach John Kear said. "Our group of players is a very hard working one and there is always a good atmosphere in camp, so we are looking forward to getting back to work." Kear has said he would be happy for second row Frizell to represent Wales once again in the future. Frizell, capped five times by Wales, has been included in Australia's squad for the Four Nations. Australian-born Frizell qualifies to play for Wales through his Swansea-born father and can switch to the Kangaroos as they are a tier one nation. "There's no hard feelings," Kear told BBC Wales Sport. "Should ever the opportunity arise in the future for him to switch allegiance back to Wales then we'd be more than happy to welcome him back." Wales squad: Elliot Kear (London Broncos), Rhys Williams (London Broncos), Calvin Wellington(St Helens), Christiaan Roets (South Wales Ironmen), Regan Grace (St Helens), Courtney Davies (South Wales Ironmen), Ollie Olds (Souths Logan Magpies), Gil Dudson (Widnes Vikings), Lloyd White (Widnes Vikings), Craig Kopczak (Salford Red Devils - captain), Rhodri Lloyd (Swinton Lions), Lewis Reece (Gloucestershire All Golds), Phil Joseph (Salford Red Devils), Steve Parry (Gloucestershire All Golds), Joe Burke (Oldham Roughyeds), Jake Emmitt (Swinton Lions), Anthony Walker (Wakefield Trinity Wildcats), Andrew Gay (Mackay Cutters), Matty Fozard (Sheffield Eagles), Morgan Evans (Gloucestershire All Golds), Ian Newbury (South Wales Ironmen), Connor Farrer (South Wales Ironmen) The Number 10 Project in Hounslow, west London, faces closure after the council approved a scheme to expand a nearby primary school. The centre, which helps people recover in the community, is used by more than 500 people. Hounslow Council said "steps are being taken" to work out "alternative provision". If the plans go ahead, the Number 10 project will have to find a new premises from which to operate or, if no suitable alternative can be found, have to close, the centre said. It provides a support service for people with mental health issues and works with a diverse range of patients but risks being closed by September. Service user Karen Tolley said: "A lot of people will be isolated. People will take their own lives because they have nowhere to go, no support from other people." Kalyani Siraj, a counsellor who runs an Asian women's group, said some users live "Friday to Friday". "They don't come out," she said. "And I fear they will be isolated. If this group closes there's nowhere I can take them." The planned expansion of Hounslow Town Primary School will create an additional 420 school places, a new facility for children with special educational needs, a new music centre and 250 new homes. John Viner, from the Number 10 Project, said: "No-one here disagrees with the council identifying and needing to build more primary schools. But this is a vital service, a vital lifeline that we cannot afford to lose." A spokesperson from the London Borough of Hounslow said no decision had been taken yet to demolish Number 10 Project. A planning application still needs to be submitted before any building work can get under way. The spokesperson said: "Steps are being taken, in discussion with West London Mental Health Trust, to determine specific needs so that the important functions being delivered to 10 School Road can continue to be delivered in an alternative provision." Martin Kobler said the M23 had abandoned most military positions in the east and was confined to a small triangle close to the Rwandan border. A fifth rebel-held area in a week fell to government forces on Monday. The rebels say that their withdrawals are temporary. Mr Kobler told the UN Security Council by video-link: "It is practically the military end of the M23." He said the rebels had abandoned a key position on Mount Hehu near the Rwandan border. By Moses RonoBBC Africa security correspondent There is no dispute that the M23 rebels are facing a military defeat. The military option was not the route that regional actors and the UN favoured. But as the humanitarian crisis escalated in eastern DR Congo, a military alternative seemed acceptable, even desirable. The Congolese army was emboldened by the deployment of a UN mission with a robust mandate to attack the rebels using helicopters. While the military defeat of the M23 is a psychological victory for the government, the region's problems are far from over. Ethnic-based groups, including those linked to the Rwandan genocide, still operate. A new rebel group, M18, recently emerged, adding to the complex mix of the conflict. Several issues lie behind the unrest, including a competition for resources and a history of ethnic rivalry. Add the involvement of regional actors in a vast area with weak state institutions and it is clear that bringing peace to eastern DR Congo is not a straightforward matter. After the UN meeting, French ambassador Gerard Araud said he hoped there would now be talks between the rebels and the government. He said: "Mr Kobler has briefed us and basically he told us that we are witnessing the military end of the M23. "So I think it's a positive development of course and there was a general agreement that now we should go back to the table of negotiation in Kampala." Peace talks between the government and M23, hosted by neighbouring Uganda, broke down last week. There had previously been about two months of relative calm in eastern DR Congo. Cheering crowds reportedly welcomed government troops on Monday as they entered Rumangabo town, where the latest M23 base to fall was located. The government is re-establishing its rule there, said North Kivu province governor Julien Palukui. "We have just held two meetings in order to discuss how to uplift the population... and we are announcing the restoration of the civil service within the next 24 hours,'' he added. Rumangabo - about 50km (30 miles) north of Goma, the main city in eastern DR Congo - had one of the three biggest military bases in DR Congo before it fell to the rebels last year. There is no doubt that the government forces have achieved huge victories over the rebels, says the BBC's Maud Jullien in the capital, Kinshasa. The UN has deployed a new intervention brigade to eastern DR Congo with a stronger mandate to confront armed groups. On Sunday, the UN mission in DR Congo, Monusco, said a Tanzanian peacekeeper was killed during fighting with the M23 in the town of Kiwanja. "The soldier died while protecting the people of Kiwanja," Monusco said in a statement. The military success in Rumangabo followed the capture of four other areas - Kiwanja, Rutshuru, Buhumba and Kibumba - since the weekend, the army said. M23 officials in Uganda said their fighters had retreated because government and UN forces had launched a joint assault, reports the BBC's Ignatius Bahizi from Uganda's capital, Kampala. Rebel forces were outnumbered, they said. M23 fighters planned to regroup before making their next move, the officials added. At least 800,000 people have fled their homes in DR Congo since the M23 launched its rebellion in April 2012, the UN humanitarian agency, Ocha, says. The rebels briefly occupied eastern DR Congo's main town, Goma, in November 2012 before pulling out under international pressure. The M23 are mainly ethnic Tutsis, like most of Rwanda's leaders. Rwanda and Uganda deny persistent Congolese and UN allegations that the neighbours are backing the rebel forces. Eastern DR Congo has been wracked by conflict since 1994, when Hutu militias fled across the border from Rwanda after carrying out a genocide against Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The coin commemorates the Mint's 225th anniversary and shows Liberty with a crown of stars and a toga-like dress. The 24-carat coin will weigh 28g (1oz) and have a face value of $100 (£80). The US Mint says it plans to issue further coins depicting Liberty as women from ethnic minorities, such as Asian, Hispanic or Indian Americans. Rhett Jeppson, the Mint's principal deputy director, told the New York Times newspaper that part of the intention was to "have a conversation about liberty - and we certainly have started that conversation". A total of 100,000 of the Gold coins will be created, along with 100,000 silver reproductions of the image, called medals, that will sell for about $50, the newspaper reported. The coins will go on sale on 6 April. Coins bearing new designs will be issued every two years, the Mint said in a statement. Taiwan claims the island - which it calls Taiping but is also known as Itu Aba - in the Spratly archipelago, a chain also claimed by China and other neighbours. Mr Ma, who is seen to be friendly towards China, has less than four months left in his presidency. Incoming president Tsai Ing-wen will not send a representative on the trip. China claims most of the South China Sea, including the Spratly Islands. It also sees Taiwan as a breakaway province that will eventually be reunited with the mainland. Some or all of the Spratly Islands and their surrounding waters are also claimed by Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei. "The Taiping Island is an inherent part of the Republic of China's territory," said Charles Chen, spokesman of the presidential office, using the official name for Taiwan. He said the purpose of the trip was to visit Taiwanese personnel based there, ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. Mr Ma will address reporters at a press conference after his trip, he added. The spokesman for China's Taiwan Affairs Office which handles cross-straits relations, said in response that China had an "undisputable authority" over islands in the South China Sea. "Protecting the rights of the country and keeping its territory whole, protecting the rights of the Chinese, are the shared responsibilities and duties of China and Taiwan," said Ma Xiaoguang. Taiwan has been building up a presence on Itu Aba/Taiping, constructing a lighthouse and upgrading a port. The largest natural island in the Spratly chain, it also has its own airstrip and a hospital. It is now the fourth biggest island overall in chain, after China's land reclamation activities on Mischief Reef, Fiery Cross Reef and Subi Reef, said Taiwan's coastguard last year. About 180 people live on the island which saw its last presidential visit in 2008, most of them coastguard personnel.

The island's fisheries department said the move was designed to protect queen scallop stocks and "strike a balance between demand and sustainability". Last year, research by Bangor University showed the volume of shell fish in Manx waters to have fallen by about 15,000 tonnes since 2010. Manx fisheries minister Richard Ronan said stocks are now "worryingly low". He added: "We are keeping the local industry closely involved and it's anticipated an industry meeting will be held later in the spring in advance of a formal consultation on proposed management measures." The queen scallop (aequipecten opercularis) is a bivalve mollusc which can grow up to 9cm in diameter and is found at depths of 100m. The industry is worth about £2.5m to the Isle of Man every year and many island fishermen rely solely on the queen scallop season. The fisheries department said the first meeting with the UK jurisdictions took place in December and since then several conference calls have taken place. His motorcycle was involved in a collision with a car on the Lough Fea Road at about 19:45 on Wednesday. Police said the man died from his injuries at the scene. The Lough Fea Road was closed following the collision but has now reopened. Police have appealed for anyone who was travelling on the road at the time of the crash to contact them. McGhee feels the changes to his side were needed to secure the 3-0 win that leaves the Terrors 13 points adrift at the foot of the Scottish Premiership. "I woke the other night at four in the morning as I had been thinking about it," he told BBC Scotland. "It will get football stopped. It's ugly." McGhee's idea was to not only replicate United's formation but the work-rate from a team desperate to narrow the gap at the foot of the table. Media playback is not supported on this device "I sent my assistant, Steve Robinson, a text at four in the morning saying 3-4-1-2 and we started discussing it and, by the time we got to work, we knew what we wanted," he said. "I don't know any team that I've managed that have played like that before, but that's the way we had to be. "We have over-played at times. We knew how they would play, the pressure they would put us under in terms of returning the ball and we decided to match it. "We set out to do a job and I thought we did it very, very well." Motherwell had started the night in second-bottom place and victory lifted them to eighth, but McGhee stressed that his side were still involved in a battle to avoid relegation. "It's three points towards the total we are trying to achieve and we're just thrilled with that," he said. "I will sleep well tonight for the first time, I can assure you, in several days." McGhee thought that Stephen McManus' opening goal in first-half stoppage time was vital. "We got a goal just before half-time, which was a great time to score, as it put them on the back foot and gave us a lift," he said. "If they had got to half time, coming back down the hill, it might have put us under pressure." Downbeat United manager Mixu Paatelainen admitted that it would be difficult for his side to now escape the drop. "I am disappointed to have lost that game because I never anticipated that," he said. "I thought we had plenty to worry them, but today we were very flat and that performance was not acceptable," he said. "We just concentrate on Saturday's match and doing our best, but it is a really long road." Paatelainen thought his side could have got back into the game before Scott McDonald's two goals in the final 20 minutes. "The first goal is always important, but after that we had chances," he said. "They were clear-cut chances and if you don't take big chances and, if you are not good enough, you are not good enough. "The first two goals were set-pieces and it's cost us. It's been the story of the season conceding goals like that and it's simply not good enough." 26 February 2016 Last updated at 12:02 GMT Well that's what happens if your birthday is on the 29th February - a date which only happens during a leap year.

The 22-year-old excelled in Saturday's 19-3 European Challenge Cup win over Stade Rochelais. Chris Pennell, capped once by England, is Worcester's first-choice full-back. "I haven't started a game this year and we're all just trying to show Dean what we can do," said Howard. "There's a lot of frustrated guys in that (cup) team." Warriors' academy graduate and England Under-20 international Howard, who made his top-flight debut in September 2012, has come off the replacements bench in Warriors' last three Premiership matches. "I've been lucky enough to be on the bench a few times which has been good - you're still around the squad all week," Howard told BBC Hereford & Worcester. "A lot of the guys haven't even had that which is very tough - training all week and on a Friday and Saturday doing extra fitness rather than playing rugby." When Pennell was injured last season, Howard took his chance, scoring six tries in 20 games as Warriors won promotion from the Championship. "I'm aware I've got Chris ahead of me and know what a great player he is," said Howard. "I've been used to that for a few years and I've got to just keep developing and continue to try to push my way to a starting spot." Andrew RT Davies told a House of Lords committee the assembly had not moved on from the Brexit vote, creating a "disconnect" with most people. In the June 2016 poll 52.5% of voters in Wales backed leaving the EU, with 47.5% supporting Remain. Plaid Cymru's leader Leanne Wood told the committee there was a lot of confusion over the details of Brexit. The three opposition parties leaders in the assembly were giving evidence to the Lords EU Select Committee, which was visiting the Senedd on Tuesday. The leaders agreed that polling evidence suggested no change in the wishes of the Welsh public to leave the EU, seven months after the referendum. Mr Davies made his comments as Plaid Cymru prepared to force a vote in Cardiff Bay on whether the UK government should triggering Article 50, starting the Brexit process. "The point that concerns me greatly is actually the disconnect from this devolved institution, and the mandate that the people of Wales turned out for and gave on June 23," he said. "It does feel very often as if the debates and the discussions are still stuck in the referendum here, rather than having moved on to try to create and shape the landscape that we are all gong to live in once the negotiations begin and are completed. "I think there is a positive role for this institution to play, but at the moment this institution is still playing out the referendum back last year." But Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said there was "a lot of confusion around the different terms used in this debate, in particular the question of membership of the EU and membership of the single market". "It is important to put on record that the two things are different," she said. "There are countries that are outside of the EU but inside the single market, like Norway." UKIP group leader Neil Hamilton told the committee he believed there could be benefits for the assembly as a result of Brexit. "I welcome the prime minister's statement that there would be no rowing back on the devolution settlement," he said. "Indeed Brexit gives us a huge opportunity in Wales to repatriate powers, not just from Brussels to Westminster, but also to Cardiff, in particular control over agricultural policy, environmental policy, both very important to significant businesses in Wales. "I see this as a massive opportunity and no excuse for doom and gloom." Economist Gerry Holtham later told the committee that a so-called hard Brexit could damage Welsh culture because of its impact on the farming industry. He said Wales would be hit harder by the loss of free trade with the European Union than the rest of the UK due to its dependence on industries such as aerospace, cars, and farming. The Cardiff Metropolitan University professor warned that there could be "anger and alienation" in Welsh-speaking rural areas if farming suffered, claiming that there could be a cultural as well as economic impact of tariffs and trade barriers. Simon Johnson, 41, was attacked at his home in Cradley Road, Netherton, Dudley, in August 2016. Damilola Johnson, 18, will appear before Walsall magistrates next month, West Midlands Police said. A 16-year-old boy has previously been charged with murder and another 16 year old has been charged with burglary. See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here Following his death, Mr Johnson's family said he was a "very proud father of two girls". Lee Gregory's penalty after Jake Cooper was fouled put Millwall ahead and Gregory then set up Aiden O'Brien. But Rochdale were level before the break as Nathaniel Mendez-Laing's volley into the corner was followed by Ian Henderson scoring from close range. Callum Camps swept in to put the hosts ahead, before Jed Wallace blasted into the roof of the net to equalise. The draw sees Millwall move level on points with sixth-placed Southend, while Rochdale remain 10th, six points adrift of the play-offs. After Dale's Mendez-Laing was denied by the legs of Jordan Archer in the first minute, Millwall scored two goals within 11 minutes of each other, before Steve Morison missed a great opportunity for a third as he put his close-range shot wide. Mendez-Laing's low drive into the corner reduced the arrears and Henderson equalised shortly after seeing his overhead shot shave the post, while Camps put the home side in front when the visitors failed to deal with a corner. Millwall pushed for an equaliser and O'Brien's volley was spectacularly saved by Rochdale keeper Conrad Logan, before Wallace drew his side level scoring at the back post.

Barclays says it cannot police all such businesses effectively and they could be used for money laundering. Protestors say they are a lifeline for people in countries where there is not a proper banking system. Farah came to the UK at the age of eight from war torn Mogadishu. Businesses, including banks, pull out of countries like Somalia where war has disrupted normal life, leaving people reliant on smaller, less formal monetary systems for cash payments from relatives who live outside the country. Double Olympic gold medallist Farah has been urging his 800,000-plus Twitter followers to support "vital" money flows to families in Somalia. He said: "It is so important that the government and the banks realise the incredibly serious threat this poses, and work with the remittance industry to find a solution. "Millions of Somalis as well as people across the developing world depend on it." Farah Hassan, one of the demonstrators, said without the money transfer companies, every aspect of his family's life would suffer: "There are no banking systems so that you can transfer money from one bank to the other. There is absolutely no other way other than the money transfer companies. "It will affect my family because whether it's education, food, everyday living - if that money is not there, then clearly they won't be able to eat, they won't be able to educate themselves, they won't be able to do anything, so it's just allowing somebody to die." Barclays is the last major UK bank that still provides such money transfer services to Somalia, which has an estimated 1.5 million of its nationals living overseas. A recent United Nations study found that more than 40% of the Somali population received remittances. The companies having their Barclays accounts in the UK closed have branches in countries as diverse as Bangladesh, South Africa and Romania. There is no suggestion that all the businesses whose accounts Barclays plans to close are transferring money from illicit sources. Many of those on the list are thought to have found other bank account providers, and Barclays has not closed every such account. It has granted a few companies, including some Somali ones, an extension until September. But there are fears that if a lasting solution is not found it is likely that the system will be driven underground. Dahabshiil, the largest such business providing services to Somalia, has said Barclays' decision could see money transfers pushed into the hands of "unregulated and illegal providers". Barclays has said in a statement that it was fear of illicit activity under the current system that was leading it to pull out of the sector: "Whilst Barclays makes no comment on specific companies, it is recognised that some money service businesses don't have the necessary checks in place to spot criminal activity with the degree of confidence required by the regulatory environment under which Barclays operates." Money laundering is illegal and can go on unnoticed. There are hefty fines when such activity is uncovered. Barclays' rival HSBC last year agreed to pay US authorities $1.9bn (£1.2bn) in settlement over accusations that it allowed the laundering of billions of dollars of cash from drug barons and rogue states through its international branches. The Labour MP, Rushanara Ali, delivered the petition to the prime minister's residence, saying it was vital the government acted: "What we cannot have is the government burying its head in the sand because that is too dangerous for developing countries, and also for people who want to get help to some of the poorest people in the world. "This is about communities helping each other. It's about taking the pressure off the British taxpayer. That's why it's so important." The government said the Economic Secretary Sajid Javid had held meetings with the major High Street banks, the British Bankers Association, representatives of money service businesses, as well as financial regulators, to discuss the provision of remittance services. A spokesman described the meeting as "very constructive". "The Department for International Development is also urgently reviewing the impact of changes on the UK remittance sector to developing countries and examining what can be done to support those affected and will take forward issues from the meeting to their roundtable in September," the spokesperson said. He said Indonesia respected human rights but there would be "no compromise" when it came to punishing such sexual crimes. Indonesia passed controversial laws earlier this month authorising chemical castration for paedophiles. The laws were subject to fierce debate in parliament. The Indonesian Doctors Association says its members should not be involved as the procedure would violate medical ethics. Chemical castration is the use of drugs to reduce sex drive and libido, without sterilisation or removing organs. The paedophiles who want treatment President Widodo said "our constitution respects human rights, but when it comes to sexual crimes there is no compromise". "We are strong and we will be very firm. We will hand out the maximum penalty for sexual crimes." He added: "In my opinion… chemical castration, if we enforce it consistently, will reduce sex crimes and wipe them out over time." In a wide-ranging interview with the BBC's Yalda Hakim, President Widodo - also known as Jokowi - discussed topics including the South China Sea, corruption, a recent tax amnesty and the government's stance on homosexuality. Earlier this month, an advert for a new youth ambassador position stipulated that members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community need not apply. The government advert said the post was only open to applicants not involved in "sexually deviant behaviour". President Widodo said there was no discrimination against minorities, but he added: "We are the world's largest Muslim nation and we have religious norms. You have to remember that and know that. We have social norms." You cannot cure paedophilia by chemical castration. How long can it last? Let's say the patient has it for three years while in jail. But after his release he can go to a doctor and reverse it with hormone therapy. Chemical castration is not completely irreversible, so it is not effective. Furthermore, the punishment cannot be done as long as the executor is a medical doctor, because we have to uphold medical ethics. When you become a doctor, you have to swear that you won't do anything harmful to any human being. My message to all doctors across Indonesia is that as long as you're a doctor, you cannot do it, even if the government says it is to punish a rapist. It is harmful and it's against human rights. Dr Prijo Sidipratomo is chairman of the medical ethics committee at the Indonesian Doctors Association. On the subject of the ongoing maritime rights dispute in the South China Sea, Mr Widodo defended Indonesia's stepped-up military presence around the Natuna Islands. He said the Indonesian military was acting to stop illegal fishing in the area. "This is our natural resources, this is Indonesian wealth. So from now on illegal fishing vessels cannot play around with us," he said. "The second thing is Natuna is our territory. Natuna is in Indonesia. So if we want to do military operations, war games, then it's our right. In terms of sovereignty I will never compromise." He also said the government was cracking down on corruption. "Nine ministers, 19 governors, 300 more local leaders [and] 100 parliamentarians are in jail because of corruption," he said. "We are harsh and strict on corruption. We will be consistent in our harshness to improve the situation." In September, thousands of Indonesian workers protested in Jakarta against a government tax amnesty scheme. It was meant to plug a budget deficit but unions say it unfairly pardoned wealthy tax dodgers. "It's not really about how much money we earn from it, how much money is repatriated," President Widoko said. "The most important thing is this is the start of reforming the tax system in Indonesia. "We want to expand the tax system, we want to improve the tax system and we want to build trust and faith among people in our tax system so that industry and businesses that pay tax they believe that their money will go to the good of the country and be used to build things." The Canaries went 3-1 ahead before Liverpool fought back and Adam Lallana scored a 95th-minute winner. "I think if we'd have had a bit more communication within the team we maybe hold that 3-1 lead longer which makes Liverpool a bit more nervous," debutant Naismith told BBC Radio Norfolk. "That's probably the biggest thing we will be disappointed with." He continued: "A lot of people will look at the defence, but it's the whole way through the team. They passed the ball through us far too easily at times and that's something we need to improve on as a team if we want to pick up results." Naismith marked his first Canaries appearance since his move from Everton with a goal, but Liverpool overcame the two-goal deficit and went 4-3 ahead after James Milner capitalised on a poor Russell Martin backpass, only for Sebastien Bassong to make it 4-4 in injury time. Lallana's dramatic late intervention then gave the visitors all three points. The defeat left Norwich just one place above the relegation zone. "When you lose that many goals in a game, [communication] is going to play its part in why it's happening," said Naismith. "I've only been here a few days, but what I've seen in that short time is there's a lot of quality that can go forward and I think we showed that with the goals scored." Depending on whether you are in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales or England, you will find different bandings being used. But what does each mean and how many calls fall into each category? This was how ambulance services across the UK described emergency calls for decades. It is still used in Northern Ireland and, until last week, was in place in Scotland. It encompasses a wide range of calls, which could be said to be potentially life-threatening. It includes conditions such as cardiac arrest and when a person has no pulse or is not breathing, all the way through to strokes, seizures and road traffic accidents. About a third of calls in Northern Ireland fall into this category, which is subject to the eight-minute target. The rest of the calls in this system are designated category B (serious but not life-threatening) which includes conditions such as fractures or category C (not serious) that are more likely to lead to a referral to another service or telephone advice being given rather than a face-to-face response. The Welsh ambulance service changed the way it started categorising calls in October 2015. Up to that point it was also using category A. But it changed to a red, amber, green system. Red is the smallest group and includes conditions that are the most immediately life-threatening, such as cardiac arrest. These account for only one in 20 calls in Wales. This band is subject to the eight-minute target. Amber includes life-threatening and serious calls, such as strokes and chest pains. These would have traditionally fallen into the old category A band. It also includes some of the conditions that would have been in the top end of category B, such as fractures. It is not subject to the eight-minute target. Green are non-serious calls that are unlikely to need an ambulance response and instead can be dealt with by other health service or by the individual themselves. Scotland has just introduced a similar system to this one. England was the first UK nation to move away from the category A model. It split the group into red 1 and red 2 in 2012. Red 1 was a small band, incorporating cardiac arrests and other life-or-death conditions. It accounts for only 2% of calls and is subject to the eight-minute target. Red 2 encompasses other serious and life-threatening cases, such as strokes and seizures. It accounts for 30% of calls and is subject to the eight-minute target. But unlike Red 1 calls, control rooms are allowed some time to assess these cases before the clock starts. It was one minute, but has just been increased to four. The rest of the calls that require a response by the ambulance service are classed as green. There are no national targets to reach these, instead standards are set locally. A goal of 60 minutes is commonly used. Plunkett, who took 4-73 in Somerset's first innings, was unable to bowl because of a suspected groin injury, while Sidebottom has a back problem. Tim Rouse (69) and James Hildreth (85 not out) shared 144 as the visitors closed on 234-3, a lead of 289. Yorkshire had earlier been dismissed for 213 after resuming on 159-7. Adil Rashid was the last man out for 49 - the home side's biggest contributor - while Sidebottom did at least manage to bat at number 11. But he was unable to feature at all with the ball, while England fast bowler Plunkett's workload was limited to only six overs at the start of Somerset's innings. Despite already holding a 55-run lead, the loss of opener Edward Byrom (40) at 80-2 had left the game still marginally in the balance. But Hildreth's 111-ball 85, his first 50 of the summer, and Rouse's maiden half-century for Somerset put the visitors in control heading into day four. Lord Turnbull ruled that the IndyCamp group should be evicted from their Holyrood camp after a lengthy case. Four different groups have lodged appeals against the ruling, making a range of arguments against eviction. The inner house will consider the case on 19 and 20 October after Lord Malcolm accepted calls to fast-track it. The court ruled against the campers in July after a seven-month legal battle, when Lord Turnbull concluded that evicting the IndyCamp would not breach their human rights. He criticised the campaigners, who want to remain outside Holyrood until Scotland is independent, as "rather selfish or even arrogant" for seeking long-term occupation of the site, saying they had shown "open disregard" for others. The campers maintain they have a right to protest and freedom of assembly at Holyrood, and appealed against Lord Turnbull's judgement. Parliament chief executive Sir Paul Grice pushed for an accelerated appeal process, but warned MSPs that the "intransigence" of those occupying the camp could see the stand-off continue for some time. The campers, who originally styled themselves as the "sovereign and indigenous peoples of Scotland", have split into a number of different groups for the appeal. Four different arguments will be heard at the October sitting. Arthur Gemmell, who was a second respondent in the original case, said that his arguments had "affected Lord Turnbull's decision on the vigil" negatively, and said he wanted his case heard separately. Some of the campers earlier issued a written letter distancing themselves from the views of another respondent, Richard McFarlane, who had claimed in court that Christ had returned to earth and had given permission to the camp to use the parliamentary estate. He will also make a separate case on behalf of himself and another respondent. Two of the campers continue to style themselves as the "sovereign and indigenous peoples". One of them, who asked to be referred to in court only as "David", demanded that a jury sit on the case, as he claimed that "a trial by the state is illegal" and that the court "might be inept or corrupt". The remaining four respondents will make a fourth case, and have stated their intention to appoint a Mr Keatings as a lay representative. Lord Malcolm, who declined a call from David to recuse himself from the case as well as rejecting bringing in a jury, said the court would consider all four arguments at a two-day hearing in October. The John Gosden-trained filly was ridden by Frankie Dettori to Oaks success at Epsom and in Ireland. Enable is favourite ahead of last year's winner Highland Reel. The three-year-old will face a host of older horses in one of the principal clashes of the season between the Classic generation and its elders. As well as Highland Reel and Gosden's Jack Hobbs, both aged five, the four-year-olds Idaho and Ulysses, the recent Eclipse Stakes winner, are all due to take part. Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager for Enable's owner Prince Khalid Abdullah, told BBC Sport: "Enable had a little blow [on the gallops] yesterday, and everyone was happy. "She's fine this morning so she'll be declared for the race tomorrow." Dettori, writing in his column for bookmaker Ladbrokes, said he was "really excited" to be back with Enable. The jockey - who missed Royal Ascot in June following a shoulder injury, added: "She was the reason I came back from injury so early. She really is special. I pushed myself so I could ride her in Ireland and it was worth it."

Defence coach Jonny Bell has been named interim head coach until the summer. "I'd be surprised if we don't take an external appointment as head coach," Vaughan told BBC Radio Gloucestershire. "We are probably looking for somebody who has already had head-coach experience, to keep us moving in the right direction. We have had interest from very talented people. "We are already moving down the track on an appointment and hopefully we'll be able to make an announcement fairly shortly." Vaughan was also keen to stress that the potential takeover of the Cherry and Whites by Montpellier owner Mohed Altrad would have no influence on the recruitment process. "There is zero impact, interest or involvement from anybody outside the club with regards to this appointment," Vaughan added. "Myself and David Humphreys are leading that and will be the total decision-makers on any appointment. "If there is a swift appointment then hopefully it will just serve to show people that the autonomy is there anyway." Gloucester have had "discussions" with the France-based billionaire but any takeover deal needs approval from the Rugby Football Union, French Rugby Federation, European Professional Club Rugby and World Rugby bodies, as Montpellier compete in the European Champions Cup as well as the French Top 14. The Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust (NSFT) was "not a safe, effective or responsive service", said the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The report said there were also concerns about a lack of beds and "urgent action" was needed. The trust said it would improve services and put patients first. The CQC report found: The report recommends leadership "must be more visible and accessible to staff". But the report also said: "Staff were kind, caring and responsive to people and were skilled in the delivery of care." Dr Paul Lelliott, CQC's deputy chief Inspector of hospitals, said: "We found a number of serious problems when we inspected the services run by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. "We were concerned about the safety and quality of care provided by some of the trust's services," he added. "We were also struck by the low morale of many of the staff that we interviewed who told us that their voices were not heard by those managing the trust." Trust chief executive Michael Scott said: "Our priority is to make sure we work with staff to improve the services we provide across Norfolk and Suffolk. "We are under new management, the new team is bedding in, and there is no complacency on our part about the need to continue to deliver improvements. "I would like to assure our patients, staff and our partners that this is a turning point for the trust and we will continue to do everything possible to address all of the recommendations the CQC has made." A spokesman for the Campaign to Save Mental Health in Norfolk and Suffolk said: "The regulator confirms what our campaign has consistently said for more than a year." Media playback is not supported on this device Along with key defender Ben Davies, Ramsey is suspended for the historic semi-final after being booked for handball in the 3-1 win over Belgium. "It was a sort of natural reaction and I knew straight away it was a yellow," said the 25-year-old midfielder. "I'm really gutted. I'm confident in the players we have to step in and get us to the final." Ramsey made two of Wales' goals as part of a sparkling individual display that helped them reach the last four of a major tournament for the first time. The influential Arsenal player now has four assists in five games in France, the joint-highest in the finals along with Belgium forward Eden Hazard. Ramsey, whose other booking came in stoppage-time during the last-16 win over Northern Ireland, added: "It was up there with the best performances of my career, especially on the stage that it was. "I wanted to stand up and be counted, so I am delighted I was able to help my team and grab a couple of assists that meant we won quite comfortably in the end. "Now we have to beat Portugal. I am sure it will sink in before then that I will not be playing - but I will be right behind my team, cheering them on and kicking every ball. I will be right in the mix of it, so hopefully they can do it." Davies, who plays on the left-hand side of three centre-backs, will also miss the biggest night in Welsh football history after his caution for a first-half foul on Kevin de Bruyne. Like Ramsey, the Tottenham defender has played in every Wales game in France, but is suspended after picking up two bookings - his other came for a foul on Adam Lallana during the 2-1 defeat by England in the group stage. West Ham's James Collins is likely to replace Davies against Portugal, while Jonny Williams could come into midfield for Ramsey. "Obviously it is a blow because Ben and Aaron have started every game for us," said fellow defender James Chester. "Aaron has undoubtedly got amazing ability, but the amount of work he puts in sometimes gets overlooked, while I think Ben has been our stand-out defender in the tournament. "The biggest thing we have in our squad now is strength in depth and players who are playing at the top level - so hopefully it will not hamper us too much." Media playback is not supported on this device Other Wales players talked about how emotional the dressing room was after the Belgium game, and manager Chris Coleman spoke of his sympathy for the suspended duo. When he stopped to face the media in the early hours of Saturday, Ramsey was clearly torn between immense pride at his part in a memorable victory and the knowledge he will only feature again at Euro 2016 if Wales reach the final at Paris' Stade de France on 10 July. "It was a very special night for us," Ramsey added. "We have a great team, great staff and great fans - and when you have the right balance then special nights like this can happen. "Of course everyone is ready to step in for myself and Ben. Everyone wants to achieve something special for each other. We are a team and we showed it against Belgium. "The fact it is Gareth Bale versus [Real Madrid team-mate] Cristiano Ronaldo on Wednesday is going to be mentioned - but Gareth will tell you himself that it is not about that. "It is about this team showing what we are capable of doing and getting to the final." The region has asked the Treasury for control of more budgets in areas including transport and housing. Tameside Council leader Kieran Quinn said the money would prove the government was "serious" about its plan to boost the North of England economy. The government said it was "determined" to build a more balanced economy. Mr Quinn said: "We know [Chancellor] George Osborne's view and we know that there are people within the cabinet who don't like the speed of change. "This is a very wide-ranging and significant submission to government which absolutely shows Greater Manchester's ambitions. "If we don't get close to what our ambitions are then I think it will show that in reality this was a pre-election matter to get them over a line." The Northern Powerhouse is Mr Osborne's plan for boosting the economies of the North of England through devolved powers and greater investment in infrastructure. In a statement the government said; "We are absolutely determined to end the decades-old gap between the North and South by building a more balanced and resilient economy for working people. "Greater Manchester broke new ground by being the first area to secure a landmark deal devolving far-reaching powers over transport, housing, planning and policing, and we welcome its new proposals to have an even greater say. "This will now be considered as part of the spending review process." The results of the review will be announced on 25 November. Gloucestershire looked in trouble at 157-5 before the pair came together. But Marshall made 123 and fellow New Zealander Noema-Barnett struck 84 as the hosts finished on 336-5. England's Moeen Ali (0-32), playing his first game for Worcestershire in 2016, failed to pick up a wicket. Phytophthora ramorum was first found in Dumfries and Galloway in 2010 but is now widespread in the region. Forestry Commission Scotland said the impact at the Galloway Forest Park was particularly stark. It said the only way to tackle the disease was to fell infected trees and those nearby over the next few years. Keith Muir, head of tourism for the FCS team in Galloway, said: "The impact on Galloway forests will be huge. "Within Galloway Forest Park, much of the larch can be found in highly visible areas, often close to our visitor centres, walking and mountain biking routes. "There is a lot of forestry activity going on at the moment and this will continue for the foreseeable future so this is really a call to make all visitors - and locals - aware of the need for additional caution." He said efforts were now being made to remove as many larch trees as possible from the most heavily-visited areas before the busier 2014 tourist season. "This will mean that there will be a lot of heavy machinery on site and more timber lorries than usual working in the forests and some of the minor roads," he said. "Unfortunately this means that there will be ongoing disruptions for visitors and trail users and there will be times when certain routes and car parks will be closed. "There will be diversions in place, which might change from day to day, so people need to take extra care, especially local residents who visit the forest on a daily basis." He apologised for any inconvenience and said every effort would be made to limit disruption. "The forest park very much remains open and visitors are extremely welcome but we would ask that everyone make themselves aware of and observe the biosecurity guidance notices on site and online," he added. Researchers scoured the clothes and boots of tourists and scientists visiting the continent and found that most were carrying plant seeds. Alien plants already grow on the fast-warming Antarctic Peninsula. Writing inProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the team says the plants are likely to spread as the climate warms. "People in the past have been sceptical, saying, 'It's largely ice-covered so it's unlikely that plants will establish themselves'," said lead researcher Steven Chown from Stellenbosch University in South Africa. "[They're] forgetting that probably less than 1%, but still a significant area, is ice-free - some of that's in the peninsula region, and it's been warming very quickly." The Antarctic Peninsula, which runs up towards the southern tip of South America, has warmed by about 3C over half a century, much faster than the global average. As a result, ice cover is dwindling. Many islands in the sub-Antarctic region have seen significant ecological changes due to invasive species that have either arrived accidentally or deliberately. The research team believes that the Antarctic Peninsula and some other areas around the continent's coast could see similar changes in decades to come. "Antarctica has a native ecology - a very well-established microbial ecology, and on the peninsula it has two species of indigenous plants," Prof Chown told BBC News. "And it will be changed by species coming in." The marine environment is changing too, with giant crabs establishing themselves in waters that were previously too cold. During International Polar Year in 2007-08, the research team took samples from tourists and tourism operators, and scientists and their support staff. On average, each visitor carried 9.5 seeds into the White Continent, though scientists carried far more each than tourists. "What we found was that people's boots and bags were the things that had most material attached," said Kevin Hughes from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). "I guess the tongue of the boot is an ideal place for seeds to be caught when you're tying up your laces. But we did find them in various bits of clothing as well." Extrapolating from their figures, this means that about 70,000 seeds arrive on Antarctica each year. The places that tourists visit tend to be the warmest bits of the continent - which are also the places where seeds are most likely to survive. The researchers found that although many of the seeds originated in South America, a large number came from the Northern Hemisphere. About half of them came from cold regions and would probably be viable in the warmer bits of Antarctica. The researchers also collated evidence from other scientists on organisms that have already established themselves. Deception Island, 100km north-west of the peninsula, has already been colonised by two grass species and two springtails - tiny animals that live in topsoil and leaf litter. On the western slopes of the peninsula itself, the grass speciesPoa annuahas established itself close to four research stations - implying that it has probably been brought, inadvertently, by visiting scientists. Poa annuahas already taken over several sub-Antarctic islands where it dominates vegetation. The researchers suggest that measures be taken as soon as possible to tackle invasive species that are already there, and to prevent the arrival of new ones, as far as possible. Dr Hughes has already "eradicated" a South American member of the aster family from Deception Island, where tourists regularly stop to visit an old whaling base, by the simple measure of pulling up the single specimen he found. But with some of the more widespread species, they fear it could already be too late. The International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO), which covers most companies in the area, already takes pains to make sure tourists arrive seed-free; and some countries' science organisations have similar requirements. "We can use guidelines for vehicles, make sure cargo hasn't got seeds and invertebrates on it, make sure clothing is clean and that we bring fresh boots," said Dr Hughes. "[However,] I think it's safe to say that wherever people go, it's inevitable that they bring other species with them; and no matter what we do, our best efforts will only reduce the rate at which species are introduced, we'll never prevent it altogether." There is no legal obligation to clean up accidentally introduced alien species under the Antarctic Treaty. But this team of scientists believes there is a moral obligation to do so, and to block new arrivals as far as possible. One complicating factor for the Antarctic Peninsula and its islands is that some seeds are known to arrive carried on the wind from South America. But, argues Prof Chown, there is still an element of human agency about these wind-blown cases in that the plants can only establish themselves under climatic conditions created largely through humanity's production of greenhouse gases. If nothing is done, he says, small pockets of the unsullied continent may, in 100 years, look very like sub-Antarctic islands such as South Georgia where alien plants and animals, particularly rats, have dramatically changed the local ecology. "South Georgia is a great sentinel of what could happen in the area in the next few hundred years," he said. "My suspicion is that if you didn't take any biosecurity measures you'd end up with a system that would look like a weedy environment with rats, sparrows andPoa annua." Follow Richardon Twitter In a statement released at their annual conference, they said violence was getting more ferocious than ever. The government of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner responded by saying this was a "deliberate attempt" to blame it for the insecurity. Her administration has had clashes with the Catholic church before. On Friday's statement, the bishops focused mainly on the rising violence. "We notice with pain and concern that Argentina is sick with violence. Some symptoms are clear, others more subtle," they wrote. "Criminal acts have not only risen in number but in aggressiveness - a violence ever more ferocious and merciless." It says that the Church wishes to see judges and prosecutors acting swiftly, independently and calmly. They also criticised "public and private" corruption, calling it a real "social cancer", which causes "injustice and death". However the bishops warned people against acts of vengeance or taking justice into their own hands. Argentina's chief of cabinet, Jorge Capitanich, reacted to the statement saying there was a "deliberate attempt" by the opposition to blame Mrs Fernandez de Kirchner's government for the violence. "Many of those who want to be presidential candidates [in October 2015] have had serious trouble on this issue in their districts," Mr Capitanich said. The bishops' statement also points a finger at the media for not always reporting "objectively and respecting privacy" and for promoting "divisions and aggressiveness". Mrs Fernandez de Kirchner's relationship with the church has never been as tense as that of her predecessor and late husband, Nestor Kirchner. In 2010, when Argentina became the first South American country to legalise gay marriage, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio attacked the government. There have also been clashes over the issue of abortion. However, since the appointment of Pope Francis, in 2013, relations have thawed to some extent, with the president meeting the leader of the church three times since then, correspondents say. Ko hit a final round seven-under 65 as she eased to victory by nine shots to overtake South Korean Inbee Park, who was not playing in the tournament. It was the 18-year-old's fourth round of under 70 as she became the youngest to earn 10 wins on the LPGA Tour. England's Charley Hull (70) was fourth on 10 under, while Scotland's Catriona Matthew (75) finished on three under. The Nigerians beat Algeria 2-1 on Saturday to win the trophy having already sealed a place at the Olympics. Despite the success Siasia does not feel his side were at their best. "We are happy we've won a very difficult tournament but there's a lot of work to be done between now and August," he told BBC Sport. "I wasn't even sure we could make it to the final but through hard work and intense discussions after every game ensured the boys corrected their mistakes - we came out victorious. "There can be no substitute for hard work, concentration, serious focus and that's what we're going to do. "If you don't get it right, you're in trouble at a major tournament like the Olympics. We still have a lot of tidying up to do over all. "I have to thank the players for what they have done but they should not let it get to their heads because we need to correct our mistakes and improve our game before the Olympics." Even though Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics, after crashing out in the group stages of the maiden African Under-23 Championship in Morocco in 2011, they boast a proud record at The Games. They made Olympic football history in 1996 by becoming the first African team to win the gold medal and were also runners-up at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when Siasia also coached the side. Meanwhile, Nigeria and runners-up Algeria alongside South Africa will represent Africa at Rio 2016 Olympics, all of the qualifiers will be allowed to include three players over 23 in their final squad for the Gamesa. It is the first time that both the South Africa men's and women's football teams have qualified for an Olympics. Branches in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, Llangefni on Anglesey, Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, Abergele, Conwy county and Monmouth are all affected. The move is part of a UK-wide overhaul of the UK's second largest mutual, which is putting 440 jobs at risk. Yorkshire will shut 20 branches this year and it will close down the Norwich and Peterborough building society brand, which it now owns. It follows an announcement by HSBC on Tuesday that nine of its branches would close in Wales. The ability of relatives of the 11-month-old girl to protect her from harm was being assessed by Cheshire East Council's social workers. Mr Justice MacDonald, sitting in Liverpool, said the assessments contained "patent defects". The council said it had not met the "high professional standards" expected. The private family court hearing was considering where the girl should live after she suffered serious head injuries while living with her parents. A previous court judgement found she had sustained head injuries on two separate occasions that were "on the balance of probabilities" caused by her mother. The court also found the girl's father had caused her emotional harm. The council had chosen some relatives to care for the baby but other family members had objected. None of the family members involved can be named for legal reasons. The judge said assessments contained "patent defects" caused by social work which was "at best lackadaisical and at worst in contravention of statutory guidance". He named two social workers who he said had carried out "inadequate and fundamentally flawed" assessments, adding that "the serious mistakes made by Cheshire East Borough Council in this case are of very real concern and must not be repeated". Kath O'Dwyer, responsible for children's services at the local authority, said: "Cheshire East Council apologises unreservedly for the failings highlighted in the court judgement. "Lessons will be learned and staff training and procedures will be reviewed and reinforced to ensure such failings are not repeated". Further assessments of the relatives' ability to care for the child have been ordered by the judge, with the costs to be met by Cheshire East Council. Republican Matt Rinaldi accused a Hispanic Democrat of "threatening his life" and said another Democrat had assaulted him. It happened after he told a group of Democrats he had called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The protest targeted a bill to make local police enforce immigration laws. The bill is aimed at so-called "sanctuary cities", where many undocumented migrants live and officials including police are not allowed to ask about an individual's immigration status in the course of their duties. President Trump has pledged to end the practice. Protesters opposing the so-called SB4 bill began cheering and chanting from the public gallery of the capital building in Austin, bringing proceedings to a halt on the final day of the legislative session before they were removed by state troopers. Mr Rinaldi then called ICE before reportedly walking over to a group of Hispanic legislators and telling them what he had done. "This is BS. That's why I called ICE," ABC news agency quoted him as saying. He later told the Texas Tribune that the protesters, some of whom he said had T-shirts saying "We are illegal and here to stay" were "disrupting and breaking the law". Mr Rinaldi and several Democrats have traded lurid accusations about what happened next. The Republican released a statement in which he accused Representative Poncho Nevarez of saying he would "get me on the way to my car" and said Ramon Romero had assaulted him while other Democrats had had to be held back by colleagues. Mr Rinaldi said he had told Mr Nevarez that he would "shoot him in self-defence" and said he was currently under police protection. Democrats meanwhile said Mr Rinaldi had shouted expletives at them and said his call to ICE showed how the new law could be abused. "Matt Rinaldi looked into the gallery and saw Hispanic people and automatically assumed they were undocumented. He racial profiled every single person that was in the gallery today. He created the scenario that so many of us fear," the Texas Tribune quoted Mr Romero as saying. Mr Nevarez branded Mr Rinaldi a "liar and a hateful man". Mr Trump has called for a federal funding cut for those municipalities that refuse to hand over their undocumented residents and said he will focus on deporting criminals first. Even before the Westgate shoot-out, al-Shabab had been trying to use English-language Twitter accounts to broadcast its message to the wider world. However, accounts thought to be used by the group had already been shut down by Twitter twice in the past nine months. Each time, however, the account has re-appeared under a slightly different name. During the attack on Westgate, an al-Shabab linked account began putting out messages saying the attack was in retaliation for Kenyan forces' "crimes" in Somalia and referring to "fighting the Kenyan kuffar [infidels] inside their own turf". That account in turn was suspended and others have appeared over the course of the siege, all of them using similar language, causing confusion over which one, if any, was genuine. On Tuesday yet another account was created, and an al-Shabab spokesman confirmed to the BBC that it was their account. As of Tuesday afternoon, it was still active. Like the previous accounts, it has also taken to gloating over the attack and urging Kenyans to put pressure on their government to withdraw forces from Somalia. One message reads: "You could have avoided all this and lived your lives with relative safety. Remove your forces from our country and peace will come #Westgate." The account also tweeted a photo originally posted by another, mainly Arabic-language, account affiliated to al-Shabab claiming to show two of the attackers inside the shopping complex. This feed has managed to stay on Twitter since being set up on 1 May. It has also been giving updates during the current crisis, some of them in English. Clearly aware of how the crisis is being covered in the international media, it refers to rumours that Samantha Lewthwaite, the British widow of one of the bombers that carried out the 7/7 attack in London in 2005, is involved in the Westgate attack, even using the "white widow" nickname given to her in the press. Kenyan security officials have also been tweeting prolifically throughout the crisis, with police providing many announcements in the form of tweets. The inspector general of Kenya's national police service, David Kimaiyo, announced after the crisis began on Saturday that the area was surrounded by police and appealed for the public and media organisations to stay away from the scene. He has been giving a regular stream of updates ever since, as has the account for the Kenyan police. However, verifiable facts about the situation inside the mall have at times been difficult to come by, with an apparent lack of co-ordination in the messages being given by different branches of government. For example, on Monday the Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said in a US television interview that "two or three" Americans and one British woman were among the attackers. On the same evening her cabinet colleague Joseph Ole Lenku sent a tweet stating: "All terrorists are male". Also on Monday evening several official accounts began to suggest the crisis was drawing to a close. "We're in control of #Westgate", read one message from the interior ministry, while other accounts linked to Kenyan security forces retweeted congratulatory messages about the operation. However, it soon became clear that the operation was in fact continuing and that not all of the attackers had been apprehended. But arguably the most important use of social media by the authorities is to rally Kenyans behind the security forces as they respond to the attack using the hashtags #WeAreOne and #WithOneAccord, a reference to the Kenyan national anthem. The prevailing mood among Kenyans on Twitter appears to be one of support for the operation against the militants and a feeling of solidarity in a time of crisis. Kenyans are among the most active users of Twitter in Africa and have also been using social media in order to come together and organise initiatives to help the victims of the attack. Many shared information about where to give blood - blogger Robert Alai shared a picture of children on roller-skates holding placards urging Kenyans to donate blood. Others shared stories of Kenyans bringing food to journalists covering the siege and the security forces posted near the centre. The double Olympic champion wants "to go back to the US and seek answers" after a "stressful week" that saw a BBC investigation allege his coach Alberto Salazar had been involved in doping. There is no suggestion Farah has done anything wrong but he is "angry" at his name being "dragged through the mud". Salazar strenuously denies the claims made by the BBC's Panorama programme. Media playback is not supported on this device Farah spoke publicly about the allegations made in 'Catch me if you can' - broadcast on BBC One on Wednesday - for the first time on Saturday. And on Sunday Farah, who had been scheduled to run in the 1500m in Birmingham, added: "This week has been very stressful and taken a lot out of me. "I have not been able to focus properly on today's race and after the events of the last few days I feel emotionally and physically drained. "I want to run well in the World Championships in Beijing (22-30 August) and have decided it is better for me to go back to the US, seek answers to my questions and get back into training. "I apologise to the people who bought tickets to come and watch me race and ask for your understanding at this time." On Saturday, Farah, who is the reigning Olympic and world champion over 5,000m and 10,000m, said he had spoken the day before with Salazar about the claims, and that the American had told him "it's just allegations". Media playback is not supported on this device However, Farah insisted he wanted further assurances "as soon as possible". The BBC investigation alleged that Salazar, who became Farah's coach in 2011, violated anti-doping rules and doped United States 10,000m record holder Galen Rupp in 2002 when the athlete was 16 years old. Rupp, who would later become Farah's training partner, won Olympic 10,000m silver behind the Briton at London 2012. Rupp also denies the doping claims. Salazar, Rupp and Farah's agent, Ricky Simms, were made aware of the BBC's allegations one month ago. Farah and his agent were together last weekend when he won the 10,000m in Eugene, Oregon. After losing the first Test in Ahmedabad, they battled back to win in Mumbai and Kolkata, and draw the finale in Nagpur. Here are some statistics from an enthralling series. 4: Number of Test series England have won in India. Alastair Cook joins David Gower (2-1 in 1984-85), Tony Greig (3-1 in 1976-77) and Douglas Jardine (2-0 in 1933-34) in leading England to victory there. 11: Wickets taken by Monty Panesar on his comeback Test at Mumbai. His 11-210 was the third best match figures at the Wankhede Stadium, behind Ian Botham (13-106), Laxman Sivaramakrishnan (12-181). 1984-85: India 1-2 England (5 Tests) 1992-93: India 3-0 England (3 Tests) 2001-02: India 1-0 England (3 Tests) 2005-06: India 1-1 England (3 Tests) 2008-09: India 1-0 England (2 Tests) 2012: India 1-2 England (4 Tests) The series in numbers 12: Wickets taken by James Anderson in the series - and the combined haul of India's seamers from 190.3 overs. 16: Ian Bell's century in Nagpur was his first in India, in his 16th innings. Though he struggled with the bat and missed a Test after the birth of his first child, a couple of not-outs lifted his series average to 43. 18.66: Series batting average for India legend Sachin Tendulkar, who averages 23.80 for the year 2012 compared to a career average of 54.32. 19: Number of players in England's touring squad at one time. Fifteen played, while Eoin Morgan, Graham Onions, James Tredwell and Stuart Meaker did not feature in the Tests. 20: Wickets taken by Graeme Swann and Pragyan Ojha, the joint leading wicket-takers in the series. 34.66: Batting average of opener Nick Compton after his first four Tests. 44: Number of maiden overs bowled by both Panesar and Swann apiece in the series. They combined for 25 in the final Test. 44: The number of innings Swann had batted since his last Test fifty in 2009, before his glorious 56 in Nagpur. 60.75: Batting average of Ravichandran Ashwin, who is in the India side for his bowling. He took 14 wickets at 52.64 in four Tests. Media playback is not supported on this device 91: Wicketless overs bowled by England seamers Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan in four combined appearances, at a cost of 299 runs. 93: Test batting average of 21-year-old Joe Root after scoring 73 and 20 not out on his debut. 99: Nmber of Tests played by off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who was dropped after the Mumbai Test and may struggle to play his 100th. 135: Samit Patel's bowling average for the series indicates he may have to earn future Test selection purely for his batting. 288: James Anderson, who ploughed a lone seam furrow for England for much of the series, is nine Test wickets away from equalling fourth-placed Derek Underwood in England's all-time bowlers' list, with Fred Trueman (307), Bob Willis (325) and eventually Ian Botham (383) in his sights. 438: Runs in the series by India's top scorer Cheteshwar Pujara, 185 higher than nearest rival Virender Sehwag. 528: Combined international wicket totals by Anderson (288 in Tests, 222 in ODIs and 18 in T20 internationals) and Botham (383 in Tests, 145 in ODIs), who now share the England record. 5: Set a new world record with centuries in his first five Tests as captain. 23: Cook became the first England batsman to score 23 Test centuries when he reached three figures in Kolkata. Walter Hammond, Colin Cowdrey, Geoff Boycott and Kevin Pietersen have scored 22. 27: Became the youngest batsman to pass 7,000 Test runs at 27 years 347 days 49.42: Cook's Test average has been pushed close to 50 by this series. 61.85: His Test average in India is only surpassed by his averages in Bangladesh (114) and Australia (65.12). 190: Top score for the series by Cook at Kolkata, his third highest in Tests. 866: Cook is now England's highest Test run-scorer in India, surpassing Mike Gatting's 863. *Statistics correct as of 17 December 2012 Listen to match highlights and Jonathan Agnew and Geoffrey Boycott's analysis of the day's play on the Test Match Special podcast.

However, the British Medical Association tells the paper GPs are under "tremendous pressure". "Signing a passport is not an essential service and that is why regrettably we have had to introduce a fee," it added. You may have heard about the parish in County Galway which held a drive-thru service for those unable to attend the Ash Wednesday Mass at St Patrick's Church in Glenamaddy. All the papers report on this story - The Irish News says "hundreds" of busy parishioners got their ashes to go, while the Daily Mirror, unable to resist a pun (who can?) heads its story with "Flash Wednesday". If you thought being a bus driver was a cushy number, think again. In The Belfast Telegraph we hear from two veteran bus drivers from Londonderry with 80 years behind the wheel between them. Johnny McLaughlin and Noel Christy describe how hi-jacking was commonplace during the Troubles but told the paper they weren't nearly as bad as "being attacked" by drunk people. Mr Christy describes having a gun held to his head as a "terrifying experience". But, despite his dramatic career he says bus driving is a "great job" and little kindnesses, such as an unexpected bar of chocolate or word of praise from passengers make his job worth while. Claustrophobics can look away now. The News Letter has an unusual sight on its front page. An (alive) man lying in coffin. The man in question, is John Edwards, who is beginning a three-day stint in a speciality built underground coffin, in Willowfield church in Belfast, to "reach out to those with mental health issues". The Irish News and Belfast Telegraph also report on his mission. He told the papers his Christian faith has helped him over come addiction. "I know this is a radical move but people are contacting me who are suicidal or know friends and family who are. My plan is to speak to them from the grave before they get there and show them hope," he said. It is worth noting that Mr Edwards looks in remarkably good spirits for a man about to spend the next three days underground. Wales' two volunteer gliding squadrons (VGS) at MOD St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan, and Swansea Airport are among 14 across the UK to be disbanded following a restructure. Air cadets from Wales will now travel to England for glider activities. Julian Brazier said the RAF remained committed to air cadet flying. He said a reduced glider fleet would be operated by "significantly fewer but larger volunteer gliding squadrons". In April 2014, all air cadet gliding was suspended following concerns over the airworthiness of the fleet. Mr Brazier announced the restructure, adding negotiations had "failed to find a value for money approach to successfully repair and recover all 146 gliders." St Athan's 634 Volunteer Gliding Squadron, which was founded in 1955, posted on Facebook: "It is with our deepest regret that we have been made aware that as of today 634 VGS will be disbanded along with several other VGS nation wide. "After a long association within Wales for many decades air cadet gliding will be no more."

York Art Gallery will introduce a £7.50 entrance fee after the body that runs it had its council subsidy cut by 60%. That follows Brighton Museum and Art Gallery's decision to charge tourists. Museums Association president David Fleming said charging for entry was now on the agenda at many other venues that face local council funding cuts. "I'm absolutely certain that museums all over the country are considering introducing admissions fees in order to try to help plug the gaps that are appearing in their budgets," he said. But the move would only be successful in towns and cities that attract a significant number of tourists, he added. Entrance charges at many publicly-funded museums and galleries were dropped around 15 years ago in an attempt to bring in a wider range of visitors. The government has pledged to keep free entry at venues classed as national museums - such as the British Museum, Tate and National Gallery - which are funded directly by the government. But that pledge does not cover council-funded venues in towns and cities across the country. York Art Gallery is one of four attractions run by York Museums Trust, which has seen its subsidy from City of York Council fall from £1.5m per year in 2012 to £600,000 this year. The gallery scrapped entrance fees in 2002 - but will reintroduce them when it reopens on 1 August after an £8m renovation and expansion. York Museums Trust chief executive Janet Barnes said she expected further funding cuts in the coming years. "Given that we've just put £8m into the gallery and it's a much bigger place, we think now is the moment to introduce charging," she said. "Obviously we would really hope not to, but we just couldn't see any other way of being sustainable in the longer term." York attracts seven million tourists per year, who are used to paying entrance fees, Mrs Barnes explained. Income from sources like philanthropy, events and the shop and cafe provide "piddling amounts" compared with admissions income, she continued. "They're not big enough lumps of money in order to maintain really expensive collections," she said. "In order to get substantial amounts of money, you have to charge. There's no alternative. Or you have to have public subsidy. "If the public subsidy's going, then what do we do? Do we just say we'll have to close, or we'll have to close two days a week, or only open in the afternoons? "It's that sort of thing that you're faced with. And that's no good for anybody. You're on a downward slide." A City of York Council meeting next week is expected to confirm that locals will be required to pay as well as tourists. However an annual season ticket will be on offer and those on benefits and aged between 17-24 will be charged half price. Children will be free. The York decision comes two months after Brighton's Royal Pavilion and Museums began charging £5 per adult to enter Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, unless they take proof that they are a local resident. Visitor numbers have dropped 50% as a result, according to Royal Pavilion and Museums head of enterprise Abigail Thomas. But the income generated is expected to hit the target of £200,000 per year, which will make up for this year's cut from Brighton and Hove City Council, she said. "The other options would have been closing some of the museums or more redundancies, and we have made a number of redundancies already," she said. "I have to say we've had very few complaints." Royal Pavilion and Museums' local authority funding is expected to drop from £1.9m in 2012 to £1m in 2017. Museums Association president David Fleming said museum entrance fees would raise more money in some locations than others. "It will work in some places," he said. "It might work in York. I doubt very much it would work in a place like Burnley or Rotherham. Those places are not full of tourists who are wanting to spend lots of money in museums. "I'm sure that museums all over the country will be looking at trying to find other ways of raising income from different places. "But introducing admission charges to museums isn't necessarily the best way of trying to resolve income problems." Mr Fleming is also director of National Museums Liverpool, which gets direct government funding to run seven venues, including the Walker Art Gallery, Museum of Liverpool and World Museum. He is happy with the government's policy of keeping national museums free - but is considering other ways to save money if more cuts are made, as expected. "It might be closing for certain days, it might be closing for a certain number of hours, it might be closing certain places in order to keep others open," he said. "But somehow or other, you've got to cut your cloth." Industry figures showed that in 2009 solar farms covered 24 acres and last year they covered 2,420 acres. Opponents say solar farms will drive tourists away from the area, which relies on its natural beauty for tourism. Industry body Regen SW said there was no evidence they affected tourism. One of the latest applications to South Hams District Council in Devon is for a solar farm of about 26 acres, surrounded by a 2m (7ft) high fence and monitored by security cameras, at Place Barton Farm at Moreleigh, near Totnes. Garden designer Alice Blount, an opponent of the plans, said: "We already have one at Diptford which is just under three miles away from here. There is another at Blackawton and another two have just been given planning permission nearby. "It seems as if the whole of this area is going to be smothered in glass panels and we really don't want that." But Merlyn Hyman of Regen SW said the overall landmass covered by solar farms was "still very small" and less than 0.057% of the counties' total landmass. "I do think it is important that solar farms are developed in the right place," he said. "Tourism is an important source of revenue for the South West. "But there isn't any evidence that renewables have had any impact on tourism. "In Cornwall, the growth of tourism has gone very much hand in hand with the growth in renewables and particularly wind turbines." British Solar Renewables, which is behind the Place Barton scheme, said it was "committed to striking the right balance between generating clean energy, supporting both agriculture and the natural environment". It said the solar farm was "well screened" and, if granted planning permission, it would generate enough renewable energy to power about 1,250 homes. Ms Blake and her two boys, aged eight and four, disappeared on 13 December and were found buried in the garden of their London home on 5 January. Arthur Simpson Kent, 48, of Erith, in south-east London, was arrested earlier at Heathrow Airport after he arrived on a flight from Ghana. He confirmed his name, age and address and was remanded in custody. He will next appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday. A post-mortem examination found Ms Blake and her sons Zachery and Amon died from neck and head injuries. The actress played Frankie Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders in 1996 and 1998. She had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. Mr Simpson-Kent was arrested by police in Ghana four days after the bodies of his partner and their sons were found. He previously told an extradition court in Accra he would have returned to the UK earlier had he not been held. Scotland Yard is under investigation by the police watchdog for the way it handled the missing persons inquiry and why it took more than three weeks to find the bodies at the actress's home in Erith. Euphemia Clark, 84, was reported missing from the Dalnaglar Care Home in Crieff at about 06:00 on Hogmanay. The last known sighting of her was thought to have been at about 10:30 the same day in the Coldswells Road area. Police Scotland said a body was found in Crieff on Friday. A statement added: "The body is still to be formally identified but the family of Euphemia Clark has been made aware." Dog units and a helicopter were brought in to search for Ms Clark. Police also asked local residents to check outhouses and external buildings. Robert Howard was granted leave to seek a judicial review of the coroner's decision to examine the disappearance of Arlene Arkinson in 1994. His legal team claim the move involves an attempt to undermine the not guilty verdict returned against him. The body of Arlene, who was 15, has never been found. Howard's lawyers argue that the inquest is being used as a way of reopening issues surrounding the case because the Arkinson family were unhappy with the outcome of the criminal trial. Arlene, from Castlederg, County Tyrone, vanished after attending a disco in Bundoran, County Donegal. Howard, 67, who formerly lived near her home, was charged with her murder but acquitted at trial in 2005. Life sentence The jury did not know that by then he was already serving life for raping and killing 14-year-old Hanna Williams from Deptford, south London. Her body was found in a cement works in Northfleet, Kent, in March 2002. Howard's lawyers, who unsuccessfully tried to have reporting restrictions imposed on their judicial review application, pointed out that the coroner's stated purpose was to allow Arlene's death to be registered. It was argued that this could be achieved through an alternative, High Court procedure with the Presumption of Death Act 2009 coming into effect. No confirmation was given on whether or not Howard would co-operate with any inquest. Counsel for the coroner contended that the test of necessity in holding an inquest had been met. The court also heard that issues about the admissibility of bad character evidence would play a significant part in the case. With the coroner said to be satisfied that Arlene is dead, it was set out that his obligation was to probe all the circumstances. The judge hearing the case, Mr Justice Treacy ruled on Tuesday that it should proceed to a full hearing. He said: "I'm going to grant leave (to apply for judicial review) and fix a date for hearing. "I'm satisfied there is an arguable case." A one-day hearing of the issues in the High Court has been listed for November. His Team Sky team-mate and fellow Brit Chris Froome is second, 13 seconds behind, heading into the final stage. American sprinter John Murphy won the 146.2km stage three from Traralgon to Inverloch in a photo-finish. Sunday's final stage ends with a climb to the summit of the 314m Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. And Froome believes his compatriot can hold onto the lead. He said: "I'm pretty sure he'll be all right. He's in good nick and he's feeling good. "It would be massive. It would be a great win for him, a great win for the team so that's the plan." Kennaugh, though, said he was well aware of the threat posed by the riders just behind him - not least, Froome. "If Froome's feeling super-good he'll be up for anything," said the 26-year-old. "He can have an attack, he can do what he wants but I'm sure we'll have a strategy by tomorrow and take it from there." Stage three result: 1. John Murphy (US/United Healthcare) 3hrs 20mins 52secs 2.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) says the deal will be referred for an in-depth investigation unless "acceptable undertakings are offered". The CMA's initial investigation found that about 1,000 Sprit pubs overlap with a Greene King pub in a local area. Both companies say they are putting proposals to the CMA that will address those issues. Sheldon Mills, CMA senior director of mergers, said: "Greene King and Spirit now have the opportunity to resolve these concerns by offering appropriate undertakings." The CMA is the UK's main consumer and competition authority. Spirit, based in Staffordshire, was split off from Punch Taverns in 2011. It runs the Chef & Brewer and Flaming Grill chains. Suffolk-based Greene King runs 1,900 pubs, restaurants and hotels across the UK, including the Loch Fyne Seafood and Grill and Hungry Horse chains. The planned deal is part of Greene King's shift into restaurants and pubs that serve food. Greene King chief executive Rooney Anand called the CMA's decision "sensible". He said: "We are confident we will be able to offer suitable undertakings, which will keep the number of pubs we need to sell to a minimum and allow the acquisition to complete before the end of June." The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) closed Redferns in Weymouth, Dorset, in November. It said it found "reason to suspect dishonesty" on the part of solicitor and partner Michelle Hind. About 60 of more than 100 claimants have now been paid, the SRA said. The £2.1m has come from its compensation fund, which all solicitors pay into, it said. The SRA added its investigation into Redferns continued and a decision "on the appropriate course of action" was still to be made. Police have not yet confirmed whether a criminal investigation into the firm is being carried out. The SRA had said Ms Hind, as well as the firm's other partners John Mackenzie and Damian Sommerscales, had failed to comply with rules made under sections 31 and 32 of the Solicitors Act 1974. All three were automatically suspended when the firm closed and cannot practise as solicitors. Ms Hind resigned from her role as president of the Weymouth and Portland Chamber of Commerce following the closure of Redferns. Redferns has described the closure as "regretful". Ward 2A has six patients currently displaying symptoms. Two patients have tested positive for norovirus. NHS Highland said the virus, which causes diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, spreads in the air. The health board added that the virus is "extremely infectious". According to the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) , the current system of oil price reporting is "susceptible to manipulation or distortion." Benchmark prices are compiled by price reporting agencies. The biggest, Platts, says "there is absolutely no similarity" between Libor and oil. Trillions of dollars of securities and contracts are based on these oil and gasoline prices. Both the Libor inter-bank lending rate at the heart of a global rate-rigging scandal and spot oil prices are based on a system of trust. They are, effectively, unregulated. Traders at various banks voluntarily report the prices they pay for oil contracts to Platts, Argus or one of their competitors. The price reporting agency use a number of trades to decide what the benchmark price, quoted to the outside world, should be. IOSCO said that "this creates opportunity for a trader to submit a partial picture, i.e. an incomplete set of its trades in order to influence the assessment to the trader's advantage." Journalists working at Platts or Argus are trained to check any figures which appear suspicious or spurious. However, they do not have powers to challenge or investigate banks or individuals responsible for these submissions. Platts - the biggest player in the market - insists that the competition between it and Argus as Independent Price Reporting Organisations (IPROs) provides "critical distinctions" from Libor which is regulated by a single body, the British Bankers' Association. IOSCO also criticised a lack of transparency about the way banks compile their submissions. Platts says the data is based on "bids and offers that are tested in the marketplace." However, IOSCO raises the issue that there are insufficient safeguards to prevent collusion between two or more banks as is currently suspected in the Libor scandal. The G20 had originally asked IOSCO, oil cartel OPEC, the International Energy Agency and the International Energy Forum to contribute to a report into oil price reporting in March. But, the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA) - which represents large financial organisations - is also critical of the perceived independence of Platts and its competitors: Argus, OPIS and ICIS-LOR, which also compile oil and gasoline prices for the market. In its statement, Platts said: "Platts and other IPROs have no vested interest in the markets they cover. We are subscription-based companies and never pay in any fashion for market participants to submit data to our assessment processes." However, Simon Lewis, chief executive of the GFMA wrote in an open letter to IOSCO: "there is potential for conflicts of interest to arise where PRAs engage in revenue generation, price reporting and news services on oil markets, as incentives may arise to favour those who pay greater subscriber fees or provide greater access to market information." Mr Lewis called for "barriers or fire walls to minimize contamination risk of information." IOSCO submitted a report update containing its preliminary findings to the G20 in June. The full report is currently scheduled to be published in time for the G20's next summit in November. The measure was passed unanimously and will become law when approved by the upper house and President Vladimir Putin, a virtual formality. Gay rights campaigners clashed with anti-gay activists outside the Duma. The lower house also passed a bill imposing up to three years in jail on those who offend religious believers. The law comes in the wake of the imprisoning of members of the punk band Pussy Riot for performing an anti-Putin protest in an Orthodox cathedral in February 2012. Two band members, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, are currently serving two-year jail terms. The new law on "offending religious feelings of the faithful" will also take effect after approval by the upper house and the president. Violence between rival protesters spread onto Moscow's central street on Tuesday, reports the BBC's Steve Rosenberg in the capital. Gay rights campaigners were attacked and there were no police to stop the violence, says our correspondent. When one group ran into a shop to take refuge, their attackers waited and then ran in to find them. Under the new law, private individuals promoting "homosexual behaviour among minors" face fines of up to 5,000 roubles (£100; $155) while officials risk paying 10 times that amount. Businesses and schools could be fined up to 500,000 roubles. Homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993, but anti-gay sentiment is high. A recent poll found that nearly half of Russians believe that the gay and lesbian community should not enjoy the same rights as other citizens. The man, a soldier, is accused of conspiring with another army officer who had falsely registered as a Syrian refugee, and a student. The suspected right-wing extremists wanted to frame refugees for the attack, say prosecutors. Their alleged targets included former German president Joachim Gauck and Justice Minister Heiko Maas. The affair has sparked a national debate about right-wing extremism in Germany's armed forces. On Sunday, inspections were ordered at every army barracks after Nazi-era memorabilia were found at two of them. But last week German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen provoked anger after using the alleged plot to accuse the army of an attitude problem. Germany hate crime: Nearly 10 attacks a day on migrants in 2016 German defence minister von der Leyen under fire for criticising army On Tuesday, German police detained 27-year-old "Maximilian T" in Kehl, across the Rhine river from the French city of Strasbourg. "The accused is strongly suspected of planning a severe act of violence against the state out of a right-wing extremist conviction," the prosecutor's office said in a statement. The man was stationed at a barracks in France, alongside another man who was arrested in April, 28-year-old "Franco A". He was arrested in April, after police discovered he had registered as a Syrian refugee at a shelter in central Germany in December 2015 and later officially requested political asylum in Bavaria. A student, 24, named as "Mathias F" has also been arrested. The three "planned an attack against a high-ranking politician or public figure who was supportive of what the accused saw as the failed immigration and refugee affairs policies", prosecutors said. They had drawn up a hit list and acquired a pistol for Franco A to carry out the attack, they said. Maximilian covered up his accomplice's absences from barracks in pursuit of the plot, prosecutors suspect. The country has experienced a backlash against Chancellor Angela Merkel's "open-door" policy which saw Germany take in more than one million asylum seekers in 2015. Ms Wilson is suing publisher Bauer Media over eight articles published by its magazines in 2015. The Supreme Court of Victoria heard the pieces alleged she had lied about her name, age and upbringing in Australia. Her "world collapsed" after their publication, her lawyer said. Bauer denies the articles were defamatory. The Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids actor, who is seeking unspecified damages, is expected to testify during the case in Melbourne. Opening her case, Ms Wilson's lawyer, Dr Matthew Collins, QC, told the six-woman jury that Bauer Media "tore down an Australian star to sell magazines". "She thought she had never been hit with such nastiness," he said. "It should have been the high point of her career. She should have been going from meeting to meeting to discuss future roles. In fact the phone stopped ringing." Dr Collins said Ms Wilson was subsequently sacked from two films, Trolls and Kung Fu Panda 3. In defending the articles, a lawyer for Bauer Media told the jury that the articles were substantially true, trivial, and unlikely to cause Ms Wilson harm. Georgina Schoff, QC, said actors often lied about their age. "They were not nasty articles," she said. The articles appeared in magazines including Woman's Day and the Australian Women's Weekly. Giving evidence on Tuesday, Ms Wilson spoke of her 'bogan' upbringing, using the informal but not necessarily disparaging Australian word for being uncultured, or of low social status. When asked to describe the meaning of bogan, the actor said she used it "very endearingly". "Although now I would be a cashed-up bogan," she said. Wilson described a childhood which included spending weekends at dog shows, often selling pet products. She told the court her age was 37, and that she had legally changed her birth name, Melanie Elizabeth Bownds, to Rebel Elizabeth Melanie Wilson. "I never expected to be in a court case having to prove every aspect of my life," she said. Wales saw the highest level of rainfall across the UK in December, although it was parts of northern England which bore the brunt of the floods. NFU Mutual said its Welsh claims of up to £2.5m would form part of an estimated £40m across the UK. Flooding closed the A55 on Boxing Day, homes were evacuated and Beaumaris Castle's moat overflowed. North, mid and west Wales had flood warnings in place. At the weekend, part of the M4 closed after lanes in the Brynglas tunnels in Newport flooded, and fire crews across south, west and mid Wales were called to flooded homes and roads following persistent heavy rain. NFU Mutual's chief claims manager Matthew Scott said: "The flooding across many parts of Scotland, northern England and north west Wales could be the worst for several years." On Tuesday, First Minister Carwyn Jones made a second visit to flood-hit parts of north Wales and announced an extra £2.3m for communities affected. A report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) listed a catalogue of poor practice by Cumbria Police. The force was criticised for failing to properly investigate the death of Poppi Worthington in 2012. It said improvements had been made since the inspection in July. The 41-page HMIC report said some serious cases were given to non-specialist teams who lacked necessary skills and the force had not done enough to train officers in child sexual exploitation. The inspection was prompted by Cumbria's former police and crime commissioner Richard Rhodes, who urged HMIC to look into how the force responded to unexplained deaths of children. A number of case studies in the report identified "shocking" cases where procedures were not followed, leads not pursued and children's safety has potentially been put at risk. They include the mother of a 14-year-old girl disclosing that her daughter had been in a sexual relationship with a number of men, including a 19-year-old registered sex offender. The suspect was arrested and the matter investigated, but inspectors found no evidence of a longer-term safeguarding plan to protect the girl from further exploitation. In another case an eight-year-old girl alleged she had been sexually assaulted by her mother's partner. But the suspect was not arrested for three weeks following the initial report and the suspect was not considered as a possible serial offender for six months, despite being known to have access to and explicit pictures of other children. Barrow MP John Woodcock said Cumbria Police needed "rapid improvement" to ensure the "horrific abuse" of youngsters was identified and those responsible punished. He said: "Parents across the county will be alarmed by the report's chilling examples of child sex victims who were not given proper protection from Cumbria police. "Similarly disturbing are the instances where there is no record of suspects of serious sexual offences being properly investigated. "The report did contain some examples of good practice and it is encouraging that inspectors concluded Cumbria's police officers are clearly committed to protecting children and determined to turn the situation around." A force spokesman said since the inspection 600 frontline staff had received training in how to spot child sexual exploitation. He added: "Much of what HMIC found in their visit in July has already been addressed and significant improvements made. "During the first two or three months of this year we are training staff in domestic abuse and how to treat children in domestic abuse situations, so we are investing heavily in ensuring our frontline staff have a better understanding of the issues and how to protect children." The unemployment rate in Wales between May and July has fallen to 4.1% while for the UK as a whole it remains at 4.9% for a third month. The number of people unemployed in Wales is 63,000, 10,000 fewer than three months earlier and down 35,000 for the same period a year ago. The fall in unemployment is steeper in Wales than the UK as a whole. However, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, the overall employment rate in Wales - at 73.2% - is still below the UK average of 74.5%. Employment in Wales between May and July was 18,000 higher than the previous quarter, February to April. The fall in unemployment in Wales is proportionately the biggest fall of all the nations and regions of the UK for both the previous year (May-July 2015) and the previous quarter (February-April 2016 ). Between May and July, Wales saw a fall of 0.7% compared with February and April and a 2.3% fall compared with the same period a year earlier. For that comparison Wales was a long way ahead with the next greatest fall, of 1.2%, being in Scotland While the latest ONS figures cover the period of the EU referendum, it could be too early to come to any assumptions or conclusions in terms of the Brexit vote and its effect on employment. On the whole, it takes companies more than a couple of months to hire or fire employees and for this to appear in the official statistics. Responding to the statistics, First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "This is all excellent news for the Welsh economy, but there is no time for complacency. "We will continue to work hard to support business and create the economic conditions to create and safeguard sustainable jobs right across Wales. "We continue to have big ambitions for Wales and its economy and are determined to deliver on them for the people of Wales." Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns added that the "record-breaking data" on jobs was testament to the ability of the Welsh economy to create jobs and reduce unemployment. "We are seeing more people in work than ever before and the jobless rate at a historic low as the Welsh employment market rapidly closes the gap on the rest of the UK," he added. Mr Cairns also said that welfare reform had played its part with some of the sharpest falls in unemployment in places like Merthyr Tydfil, Blaenau Gwent and Caerphilly. "Going back to work now makes better financial sense than ever, and we are ending the culture of homes with no history of a parent in work which has blighted some parts of our country," he said. Since 2013 we can see that there has been a significant fall in unemployment in some of the areas of Wales that have struggled most to increase jobs. Blaenau Gwent stands out as one of those areas. What the figures in the chart above do not tell us, is whether those jobs are low skilled or high skilled, how many hours they account for nor how long term they are. Despite the fact that Wales has a lower rate of unemployment than the UK, it also has a lower proportion of 16-64-years-olds working - 73.2% in Wales compared with 74.5% for the UK. If one is trying to assess the strength of the economy, you cannot look at unemployment and employment figures in isolation. The fact that Wales languishes at the bottom of the tables for productivity (or gross value added) suggests that despite enjoying the greatest fall in unemployment of all the UK's regions and nations, many of those jobs cannot be of high value economically. Federation of Small Business Wales policy chairwoman Janet Jones welcomed the figures but added: "We need to ensure that the jobs that are being created are sustainable over the longer term, and that no part of Wales is being left behind, especially with the uncertainty facing businesses in the wake of the referendum vote." Relatives and friends of 13-year-old Lindsey Inger, who was killed by a tram in November, have campaigned for it. Lindsey's foster mother said she was glad the bridge had finally been installed, but said it was too late to save her daughter's life. A woman and her grandson were killed at the Moor Bridge crossing, in Nottinghamshire, in 2008. Marlene Starling, Lindsey's foster mother, said: "If you see something and it's a danger you are going to make it so it's safe, so why have we had to lose all these lives before they've done it? "But we are thankful now that they have anyway, so we are hoping and praying nobody's going to lose any more lives." The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) union has accused Network Rail and the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) of ignoring safety warnings 14 months before Lindsey was killed. Network Rail said it had closed hundreds of level crossings because it recognised they can be dangerous, and safety features had been introduced at thousands of level crossings. The ORR said it was pushing for the closure of level crossings where possible. Neither Greece nor its creditors would say they are happy with how it has worked out. In 2010, when the Greek debt crisis started, Greece received €110bn (£96bn) in bailout money. And in 2012, the country received a second bailout of €130bn. These loans, from the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), were deemed necessary to stop Greece going bankrupt. In exchange, Greece was required to make deep public spending cuts, raise taxes and introduce fundamental changes to the public sector and labour legislation. In August 2015, the eurozone countries agreed to give Greece a third bailout, of up to €86bn, on the condition of further changes. The next tranche of that bailout, which Greece needs in order to honour repayments due in July, is being discussed at the eurozone finance ministers' meeting on Thursday. In 2010, they managed to keep Greece in the euro and prevented the collapse of the common currency. So, from the perspective of the eurozone as a whole, a chaotic "Grexit" did not happen. But seven years on, and many more billions of euros later, was this price worth paying, both from the point of view of Greece's creditors and of the Greek people? It is impossible to know what the situation would be like now had Greece not received the bailouts, but the consequences of receiving them have been painful. For the Greek people, the bailouts and the austerity measures implemented with them have come at a huge cost. Greece's creditors, strongly influenced by Germany, demanded that Greece start spending less than it earned. In 2016, for the first time, Greece achieved this. The surplus is small, at €1.3bn or 0.7% of GDP. But this can hardly be seen as a success - the economy has shrunk and the overall debt pile is still going up, not down. What to do about the debt is the main stumbling block between Greece's creditors, the eurozone countries and the IMF. Some countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, do not want to release any more money unless the IMF agrees to be part of the third rescue programme for Greece. They think that, without the IMF, the EU institutions would be too soft on Greece in their demands for changes. The IMF has so far refused to get involved because it says Greece's debts are unsustainable and need restructuring. It says that Greece cannot be expected to grow out of its debt problem, even with the full implementation of changes. The talks on Thursday will determine whether Greece will be able to make the repayments due in July. But the key question is whether the creditors can reach any agreement on restructuring Greek debt. French President Emmanuel Macron said he would "lead the fight" for debt relief because "there's no chance of returning to a stable economy and society in the eurozone with the current level of debt". Germany is much more reluctant to allow any debt relief, ahead of elections there in September. Bailouts for Greece may have dropped from the headlines, but have they worked? Not yet.

The nation's capital, Washington, could lie under a record 30in (76cm) of snow by the time the storm passes on Sunday. At least nine people have been killed and a state of emergency declared in 10 states. Transport services have been cancelled, and homes are without power. The weather system affects a huge swathe of the country, from Arkansas in the south to Massachusetts in the north-east. Supermarkets ran out of food amid a rush for supplies before the first snowflakes fell on Friday. In summary: The US federal government closed down at noon on Friday as Washington's mayor, Muriel Bowser, warned this was a major storm with "life and death implications". President Obama is remaining at the White House. The National Weather Service (NWS) warned that the worst of the snow would fall in the Washington area from the early hours of Saturday to the early afternoon, with winds of more than 50mph (80kph). In a warning at 02:17 (07:17 GMT), the NWS tweeted that an "intense snow band" was moving through the area, "expect rapid accumulations and near-whiteout conditions". Residents in the capital and surrounding suburbs in Virginia and Maryland have been warned the snowfall could eclipse the district's record of 28in that fell during a two-day period in 1922. The BBC's Laura Bicker, in Washington DC, says it feels as though the city is in hiding - the streets are empty and restaurants, bars and supermarkets remain closed. Residents have been told to find a safe place and stay there until the storm has passed. Some tips on surviving a snowstorm: 1.Make sure you have at least three gallons of drinking water per person, per day 2.Tape the windows with bubble wrap to keep the heat in 3.Use your dog to measure the snowfall How to prepare for a snowstorm Why do so many people die shovelling snow? Throughout the night, people were taking to Twitter to post updates on snow levels and pictures under the hashtag #Snowmaggedon2016. In Kentucky, the Red Cross erected shelters along Interstate 75 for the more than 3,000 people who became stranded after multiple crashes forced the closure of the highway. Kentucky State Police tweeted that officers were taking water, fuel and snacks to the motorists, some of whom had been stuck for more than 12 hours. Local TV reporter Caitlin Centner was one of those stranded. She told her station WKYT-TV: "Every time it looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel, more accidents and slide-offs are occurring." In Baltimore, teams of mental health specialists were working to bring some of the estimated 3,000 homeless people to shelter, the New York Times reported. Supermarket shelves in many areas were bare. In Baltimore, shopper Sharon Brewington remembered how she and her daughter were left with just noodles and water when the last big snowstorm struck in 2010. "I'm not going to make that mistake again," she said. The crash happened on Tivetshall Road, near Pulham Market at about 23:50 BST on Wednesday. They have been named locally as Kyle Warren, Billy Hines and Dominic O'Neill and are believed to come from the nearby town of Harleston. The teenagers died at the scene after the car left the road and crashed into the trees, Norfolk Police said. The road is expected to remain closed for the rest of the day while investigations take place. More on this and other news from Norfolk Jordan Sigismeau went over early on for Catalans, before Ian Henderson, Krisnan Inu and Elliott Whitehead made it 20-0. Lineham and Jordan Abdull put the hosts back in contention, while Lineham and Curtis Naughton touched down to cut the lead to four points after the break. Thomas Bosc added the Dragons' fifth try to secure victory, before Lineham scored twice more late on. The result meant Catalans finished seventh in Super League, one place and four points above the Black and Whites. Catalans dominated an error-strewn first-half, with the French side finally going ahead as Sigismeau touched down in the corner. Henderson sold the Hull defence a smart dummy to dive over, before poor tackling from the hosts allowed Inu to extend the lead. Lineham gifted possession to the Dragons shortly after to allow Whitehead to charge over, but the Warrington-bound winger atoned for his mistake by putting the finishing touches to a swift passing move. Three more unanswered tries from Lineham, Abdull and Naughton brought Hull back to within one score of the visitors, but Bosc was gifted possession to run in unchallenged from deep inside his own half. Lineham's two late tries failed to bring his side level as the hosts missed the target from all six of their conversion attempts. Media playback is not supported on this device Hull FC head coach Lee Radford told BBC Radio Humberside: "It was a pretty chaotic game and one that almost came to a standstill in the last 20 minutes. "The players going down and the stoppages in play really took the sting out of the game. "Ultimately that probably hurt us a little bit because we were chasing the game." Hull: Rankin; Lineham, Logan, Yeaman, Naughton; Abdull, Sneyd; Paea, Houghton, Watts, Minichiello, Whiting, Thompson. Replacements: Paleaaesina, Turgut, Fash, Bowden. Catalans Dragons: Escare; Inu, Gigot, Garcia, Sigismeau; Bosc, Dureau; Elima, Henderson, Bousquet, Anderson, Whitehead, Baitieri. Replacements: Maria, Guasch, Perez, Robin. Attendance: 10,832 The man and woman were arrested after the child was taken to hospital from Rochdale with multiple injuries on Tuesday and later died. The man has been charged with murder. The woman has been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child. Both have been remanded in custody to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on Saturday. The man and woman cannot be named for legal reasons. UKIP leader Paul Nuttall called for 20,000 more police officers on UK streets, and for a review of funding of mosques in Britain. Green co-leader Jonathan Bartley said the Prevent counter-radicalisation strategy should be scrapped. The Bristol Q&A was the latest in a series of special shows ahead of Thursday's general election. It took place the day after the London Bridge terror attack, which killed seven people and injured 48. Mr Nuttall, who has previously stated that detention without trial should not be ruled out for terror suspects, said a return of control orders and tagging should also be considered. He said the UK needs to "fight fire with fire" when it comes to Islamic extremism, adding that he agreed with the prime minister that the country had been "tolerant" of extremism. "We've got to get real now - these people are a clear and present danger to our own people in this country... I wouldn't take anything off the table in dealing with these people," he said. "There are a small number of people in this country who quite clearly hate who we are - hate the way we live - and want to destroy our democracy. They are cancer and they need to be cut out." He urged the prime minister to reverse cuts to the "police force, border force and prison service". "Politician after politician" had refused to acknowledge the problem of radical Islam, he said. "It's not about Muslims," he said, "Islamism is a political ideology". But a woman in the audience said he was actually "grouping" all Muslims together with policies like UKIP's proposed burka ban, and another audience member suggested his comments were fuelling radicalisation. "We've got to say to these people Islamism is not welcome in this country," Mr Nuttall replied. Mr Nuttall, who is seeking to gain his party a foothold in Westminster after its sole MP quit the party, also called for the Muslim community to sign up to the Prevent strategy and for an investigation into the Saudi funding of UK mosques. Appearing separately on stage, Green Party of England and Wales co-leader Jonathan Bartley called for a UK arms embargo on Saudi Arabia, but did not support Prevent. "It is clearly toxic to some communities," he said. "It is alienating some communities and therefore we are not getting to the root of radicalisation, not building bridges we need. We are not getting the intelligence that we need." Mr Bartley, whose party had one MP in the previous Parliament, echoed attacks on cuts to police numbers, saying they threatened the British tradition of community policing and "policing by consent". Pressed on whether he would authorise a drone strike on a jihadist overseas, he said he would look at it on a case-by-case basis, but warned: "Those incidents have consequences for radicalisation". The two politicians were also quizzed on their wider policies. These included the Greens' pledge for a four-day week - Mr Bartley jokingly told the audience it would help them avoid the "Sunday night feeling" and said it would help deal with the effects of "automation" in certain sectors. Mr Nuttall was asked whether his proposed post-Brexit migration crackdown was a "danger" to the NHS. He dismissed this, saying the government should assure all EU migrants working in the NHS that they can stay in the UK and calling for the foreign aid budget to be "slashed" to increase funding for the health service. Under the plans, small businesses will be subsidised with 90% of the costs of providing apprenticeships. Larger firms will be required to contribute 0.5% of their payroll to the new apprenticeships scheme from 2017. Employers group the CBI said firms were ready to play their part but April's proposed start date should be delayed. The Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) said keeping to the date was vital for achieving the government's target for three million apprenticeships. "Any delay would have made the task very difficult," it said. The government said its overall £2.5bn apprenticeships plan would help people of all ages gain high-quality skills and experience and build a talented workforce. It also said it would help to ensure every young person, regardless of background or ability, had the chance to make their first step into work. Manufacturers organisation EEF said: "Recruiting young people can sometimes be seen as a little riskier so today's announcement is a nice sweetener and will act as an added incentive." Apprenticeships and Skills Minister Robert Halfon said: "We need to make sure people of all ages and backgrounds have a chance to get on in life. Apprenticeships give young people - especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds - a ladder of ‎opportunity. "That's why we continue to work tirelessly to deliver the skills our country needs. The apprenticeship levy is absolutely crucial to this." The government say its plans also: CBI director general Carolyn Fairbairn said business was ready to play its part. "However, the Apprenticeship Levy in its current form risks turning the clock back on recent progress through poor design and rushed timescales." General secretary of trade union group the TUC Frances O'Grady said: "After the vote to leave the EU, it is vitally important that we make a serious investment in skills." Jonathan Clifton of think tank, the Institute for Public Policy Research, said the plans did not go far enough. "The proposed apprenticeship levy will still only cover 2% of employers," he said. "In the long term, the government should expand the levy to cover all employers - because every firm has a role to play in training up the next generation." The Honda 350cc was being ridden by two men on Ninian Park Road at 21:30 BST on Friday when the crash happened. One man was found with serious injuries and was taken to hospital. The second man left the scene but was located a short time later and is helping police with their inquiries. The road was closed for four hours while investigations took place. Cousins Keith Smith, 30, and Peter McMurray, 25, had earlier admitted forcing their way into Ekundayo Badamas' flat in Leith in August 2016. During a struggle, Smith fired a warning shot with a rifle but instead hit McMurray in the leg. Smith was jailed for seven years and eight months while McMurray was given six years and eight months. They appeared at the High Court in Glasgow having earlier admitted trying to rob 50 year-old Mr Badamas. Lord Beckett told them: "This must have been terrifying for the victim and those living nearby." Both will be monitored for a further five years on their release. The previous hearing had heard how McMurray stabbed Mr Badamas with a knife during an initial struggle. Smith then took a rifle from a bag and fired "an attempted warning shot". However, he hit his cousin, who ended up needing several operations to remove bullet fragments. Mr Badamas managed to bundle the pair out of his home. Smith put the gun back in the holdall, but the rifle went off again as he had forgotten to use the safety catch. McMurray was later found on the pavement writhing in pain. He claimed he had been shot by someone in a white car. Smith was later arrested by armed police days later. The court heard Mr Badamas needed 14 stitches to a head wound and has been left permanently scarred. Det Insp Alan O'Brien, of Police Scotland, said: "The reckless actions of these men endangered lives and could have easily ended in tragic consequences. "However, following a swift and effective investigation we successfully recovered the weapon as well as those involved and ensured they could not pose any further risk to the public." Andrew Kettlewell, who owns Redherring in Lowestoft, Suffolk, said he wanted to find a "different calibre" of staff. Mr Kettlewell is looking for a "culturally-refined individual" who "feels the love" for the spirit. He admitted he made up the "gin butler" name but said the quirky advert had attracted 35 applicants. More than 900 people have also viewed the advert online, which calls for a "natural entertainer who loves gin". Mr Kettlewell said: "We require three years or more experience as new age drinkers only see the gin boom as the norm, whereas experienced 'gin swillers' will understand that only a few years ago, everyone just associated Gordon's as pretty much the sole gin company and have seen it develop." If gin is not your tipple of choice, that does not rule you out of the £22,000 a year job. "Say, for example, a 'rum butler' applies, that's not a problem at all and they could probably teach us something too," the owner said. The restaurant bar has about 50 artisan gins and runs a "gin club" twice a month. The job title was designed to attract a "quirky person to fit in with our quirky team", Mr Kettlewell said. Debris from the SpaceX vehicle tumbled out of the sky into the Atlantic Ocean. The rocket, which had 18 straight successes prior to Sunday's flight, was in the process of sending a cargo ship to the International Space Station. The US space agency (Nasa) says important supplies have been lost but the orbiting lab's crew is secure. Even now, the three astronauts have sufficient stores of food, water and equipment to operate until late October, and there should be visits from Russian and Japanese freighters before then. The problem occurred 139 seconds into the flight, just before the first-stage of the rocket was about to separate from the upper-stage, or top segment of the Falcon-9. "The vehicle has broken up," said Nasa commentator George Diller, as TV images showed the white rocket falling to pieces. "We appear to have had a launch vehicle failure," he added. "There was an overpressure event in the upper-stage liquid oxygen tank," tweeted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. "Data suggests counterintuitive cause. That's all we can say with confidence right now. Will have more to say following a thorough fault tree analysis." SpaceX will now lead an investigation, overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Nasa, which contracts the California company commercially to resupply the station. This means there will be no further Falcon-9 launches in the immediate future. "Once we identify the issues we will submit that documentation to the FAA and it will be considered prior to the next flight," said SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell. "I don't have a timeline for that right now. It certainly isn't going to be a year - (more likely) a month or so." Nasa had loaded SpaceX's Dragon freighter on the top of the Falcon with just over two tonnes of supplies. These included a new docking mechanism that will be needed when future astronaut vehicles - one of them based on the robotic Dragon itself - come into service later this decade. The agency has a second mechanism that it will be sending up shortly, but it will now also have to build a third to replace the one lost in the Atlantic. "I think this points out the challenges and difficulties we face in spaceflight," said Nasa's associate administrator for human spaceflight, Bill Gerstenmaier. "We are operating systems at the edge of their ability. This is a very demanding environment that requires tremendous precision and tremendous amounts of engineering skill - for hardware to perform exactly as it should." Rockets are very complex machines and every so often, they fail. SpaceX has built a reputation for being smart and fleet of foot, and most people would expect it to bounce back from this disappointment pretty quickly. But Sunday's mission failure does have implications for the future running of the International Space Station. It was already operating its supplies at less than ideal levels. This was the result of recent launch failures on two other freighter systems - the US Cygnus ship and the Russian Progress craft. Before today, the stores on the ISS were good until October. The Russians will now have another go at re-stocking the 400km-high space lab next Friday, and there will be an enormous amount riding on that flight as a consequence. For the moment, the partner nations still plan to raise the current three-person crew to six in July. But they will surely keep that decision under review until they can be certain there are sufficient reserves of food and water to sustain a full crew complement of astronauts in orbit. A word also for the satellite industry. This will have its head in its hands today. The big satellite operators effectively only have three competitive companies to put up their spacecraft - Europe's Arianespace (Ariane-5 rocket), SpaceX (Falcon-9) and International Launch Services (Proton rocket). Already, the Proton is grounded because of yet another failure this year. And with the Falcon now under investigation, it leaves only the Ariane-5 to service the commercial launch manifest. The satellite operators need to see all three rockets in operation and fighting for their business. Homes were ruined and the clean-up cost a fortune. Northern Ireland Water suffered its worst ever crisis as more than a million calls were made to its helpline and people tried to use its website - but it wasn't prepared. As a result it bore the brunt of public anger and frustration, and it led to the resignation of its chief executive. "We have very painful memories in NI Water of what happened, especially when we consider the experience of our customers during that time," said Sarah Venning from Northern Ireland Water. "We have doubled the amount of call handlers we have available. We've taken a website which had a capacity of 20,000 visits per day to a capacity of 200,000 visits per hour and we've almost tripled the stock of bottled water that we're holding now" she added. Motorists too were badly affected as snow and ice built up on the roads. The roads service battled against the snow to keep the roads open. Thousands of tonnes of salt were spread. That salt comes from deep underground just outside Carrickfergus in County Antrim. Huge machines chop away at the walls of the salt mine to give us the grit we need to help keep life in Northern Ireland as normal as possible during the winter months. Workers travel so deep underground it's like scaling down the length of the Empire State Building in New York. The roads below, laid out straight, would stretch from Belfast to Newry. Ironically the road network in the mine will never need salted as it is warm underground all year round. Inside the salt is crushed by giant machines until the grains are about the width of a pen. And when it's ready, up to 4,000 tonnes every day are brought to the surface. "It was extremely busy for us, it was our busiest year on record," David Lee, from the Irish Salt Mining Company, said. "We supplied more than 100,000 tonnes of salt to the local road service. "Unfortunately our own production here couldn't meet the increased demand that we had, so we brought some salt in from Egypt." Stormont will give out cold weather payments of £25 again this year when temperatures are recorded or forecast to be zero or below for seven days in a row. However, people over the age of 60 will see a cut in their winter fuel allowance, some by as much as £100. It will mean that six in ten pensioners will struggle to heat their homes this winter, so if the big freeze hits again it will be even more challenging. In fact it could be difficult for all of us, especially if the preparations made by the authorities aren't enough.

Ethem Orhon, 67, told police he felt like he was being "remote-controlled" before the attack outside Sainsbury's in Hampton, west London. Mr Orhon said he launched the attacks because he felt "mistreated" by police. He denies two counts of attempted murder and two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Suzanna Brand, 53, Janet Morsy, 63, Jean Sullivan, 68, and Charandasi Chandiramani, 71, were randomly targeted in the car park on May 20, suffering "appalling injuries", prosecutor Jonathan Polnay said. Excerpts from police interviews were shown to jurors at Kingston Crown Court After being released on bail the previous day, Mr Orhon said, he went to the supermarket, which he described as "the most crowded place that I know". Once there, he began "stabbing and stabbing", he said. During the police and medical interviews, the defendant said he "became a different person" at the time of the attacks. "There was one thought in my mind - which was go home, grab the spare knife and assault people," he said. He added: "These were innocent people. They have done nothing to me. No conversation. I was out of control of myself. I was just stabbing and stabbing." The court heard Miss Brand, was struck 13 times when she was attacked from behind, and left with two collapsed lungs. Ms Morsy thought she was "going to die" as she was struck in the arm and chest as she tried to defend herself, the court heard. Ms Sullivan was stabbed in the back, causing her chest wall, right lung and liver to be damaged, while Ms Chandiramani was stabbed twice in the back. Mr Orhon, who is originally from Turkey, said he realised what had happened much later. Consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Philip Joseph told the jury about Mr Orhon's suffered from paranoid psychosis, which may put a person out of touch with reality. Jurors were also told the "bravery" of two Hampton Grammar School pupils probably prevented more bloodshed. The boys alerted police, distracted Mr Orhon and warned other passers-by he was armed and dangerous, the court heard. Under cross-examination the accused said he remembered assaulting one person and following two men - who turned out to be the schoolboys. Mr Orhon said he "had no memory of going to the Sainsbury's car park" or of stabbing the women - contrary to what he said during the police interview. He told the police he had "rushed" at someone in the car park and remembered "stabbing someone in the back". Mr Orhon dismissed the prosecutor's suggestion that he wanted to take revenge on the police who had strip-searched him. He said: "It was a police trap and I have been framed. If there is hypnosis, there is a conspiracy. "Even this voice (on the police tape) is not my voice. I'm inside a conspiracy and these things are easily set up." The trial continues. Many residents of the capital, Kathmandu, lost their homes as a result of the tremor. And others are afraid to return to their homes - especially after strong aftershocks hit the region on Sunday. It is thought hundreds of thousands of people in central Nepal have been spending a second night outdoors. The tremor also unleashed avalanches on Mount Everest, which killed at least 17 people and injured 61 others. Efforts to dig victims out from under the rubble of collapsed buildings in Kathmandu have been continuing. Rescue missions and aid have started arriving to help cope with the aftermath of the worst earthquake to hit Nepal for more than 80 years. The situation is still unclear in remote areas which remain cut off or hard to access. The 7.8-magnitude quake struck an area of central Nepal between Kathmandu and the city of Pokhara early on Saturday. Renewed panic A powerful aftershock was felt on Sunday in Nepal, India and Bangladesh, and more avalanches were reported near Everest. The 6.7-magnitude tremor, centred 60km (40 miles) east of Kathmandu, sent people running in panic for open ground in the city. It brought down some houses that had been damaged in the initial quake. The Nepali Times said that some people who had ventured back to their homes had decided to spend another night in tents. People were using any available open spaces, it said, including school playgrounds and courtyards, and even traffic islands. At hospitals rattled by the aftershocks, staff moved sick and injured patients outside. Doctors at Kathmandu Medical College set up an operating theatre inside a tent, Reuters news agency said. "Both private and government hospitals have run out of space and are treating patients outside, in the open," Nepal's envoy to India, Deep Kumar Upadhyay, was quoted as saying. "We have launched a massive rescue and rehabilitation action plan and lots needs to be done," Nepal's Information and Broadcasting Minister Minendra Rijal said. "Our country is in a moment of crisis and we will require tremendous support and aid." Mr Rijal said helicopters were being used to get teams into remote areas to get a better picture of casualties. The official response was becoming more of a relief operation than a rescue mission, he said. Offers of help have come in from around the world. Some foreign teams have already arrived and are helping with search and rescue efforts. The UN children's agency says nearly one million children in Nepal urgently need humanitarian assistance as they were particularly vulnerable. Heavy rain has further worsened conditions. Nepalese officials have warned that the number of casualties could rise as rescue teams reach remote mountainous areas of western Nepal. Eyewitness reports suggest that some mountain villages may have been virtually destroyed. A man evacuated by helicopter to Pokhara, 200 km from Kathmandu, said almost every home in his village of more than 1,000 houses had been destroyed, charity worker Matt Darvas of World Vision told the BBC. In Dhading district, 80 km west of Kathmandu, people were camped in the open, the hospital was overflowing, the power was off and shops were closed, Reuters news agency reported. British Red Cross spokeswoman Penny Sims said it was hard to get an accurate picture of what is going on. "A lot of the roads are blocked, there's rubble, there's been landslides as well... So that is going to make the aid effort very difficult," she told the BBC. Foreign climbers and their Nepalese guides around Mt Everest were caught by the tremors and a huge avalanche that buried part of the base camp in snow. Pemba Sherpa, who was among the first group of survivors were flown to Kathmandu on Sunday, said he was resting in his tent when the quake hit. "I heard a big noise and the next thing I know I was swept away by the snow. I must have been swept almost 200 metres. I lost consciousness," he told AP news agency. He said many people are still missing on the mountain as several tents were buried by the snow or blown away. Separately rescue workers have told the BBC that climbers stranded on Everest have been unable to get down because climbing ropes and ladders have been swept away by a series of avalanches. Tourism Minister Deepak Chanda Amatya told the BBC that more than 50 climbers had been rescued. Are you in the area? Are you affected by the earthquake?

Renovations on the clock tower of the Gallery of Modern Art in Royal Exchange Square began in May last year. The £400,000 project saw the tower and weather vane, which date back to 1827, cleaned, restored, and reinstated. More extensive repairs were needed when some masonry, dating back almost 200 years, was found to be wrongly bedded. The Gallery of Modern Art, is run by Glasgow Life, Glasgow City Council's arms-length body which overseas culture, arts and sports venues. Depute council leader and chair of Glasgow Life, Councillor Archie Graham, said the work would ensure "generations to come have the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful building". "The Gallery of Modern Art is a building firmly tied to the history of Glasgow itself," he said. "We are delighted to reveal the restored clock tower and weather vane, in complete working order just in time for its 200th anniversary. The building was originally constructed in 1778 as the townhouse of William Cunninghame of Lainshaw, one of Glasgow's wealthy tobacco lords. It later became a bank in 1817 when it was enlarged to create the Royal Exchange. It was this work which added the Corinthian pillars of the temple frontage to Queen Street and the Cupola and clock tower design. The Royal Exchange was later purchased by Glasgow Corporation in November 1949 for £105,000. David Millar, head of conservation at Austin-Smith:Lord architects, which led the project, said the restoration had been "a very interesting and challenging" experience. "There is always a level of risk associated with removing paint from sandstone but it's an exciting activity as you don't know what you might find," he said. "We discovered masonry wrongly bedded and sandstone heavily carbonated and although some individuals might like to see these dark deposits removed it's not good practice as you are potentially removing too much original historic and listed fabric. "We have steam cleaned and removed loose material and carried out indent repairs and what we have represented follows good conservation practice. We think the final result is both beautiful and able to stand the test of time." The restoration work was undertaken by City Building Group and CBC Stone, with financial support from Historic Environment Scotland. Anne Hidalgo said that the exact location of the "humanitarian camp" would be revealed in the next few days after an inspection of possible sites. Hundreds of migrants have been camping rough in the city. Meanwhile, the death toll from migrant shipwrecks in the Mediterranean last week was revised upwards to 1,000. International Organization for Migration (IOM) spokesman Flavio Di Giacomo gave the new figure which comes after an estimate on Sunday of 700 deaths by the UN refugee agency. The new camp in Paris is expected to provide both day facilities and overnight accommodation. "We are going to work extra hard on this," the Socialist mayor told reporters. The current situation, she said, was no longer "tenable", citing a makeshift camp that had sprung up in the north of Paris in the past few days, which is now home to 800 people. The new camp, she added, would be modelled on one created near the northern port of Calais to take in people from the unofficial "Jungle" encampment. Calais and Dunkirk, which also has an official camp, are seen by undocumented migrants as gateways to the UK. Few of those passing through the French capital en route to other countries say they plan to settle there, the BBC's Lucy Williamson reports from Paris. Tweeting on Tuesday, the IOM spokesman noted that 2,400 migrants had lost their lives in sea crossings since January. The number of arrivals, he said, were the same number as in January-May of last year but the death toll had risen by 34%. Spring weather has led to a surge of people attempting the perilous crossing from Africa to Europe. It is now a key route for undocumented migration since a deal curbed numbers making the much shorter crossing from Turkey to Greece. 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. In a speech later, Mr Smith will say NHS spending on the private sector has doubled from £4bn to £8.7bn since the Conservatives returned to government six years ago. The Department of Health said his analysis was "simply wrong". Mr Smith is campaigning to replace current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. He will point out that the recently published Department of Health annual report showed that almost 8% of healthcare in England last year was bought from private sector providers - up from 4% in 2010. Ahead of his speech on the campaign trail in Salford, Mr Smith said: "The NHS is our country's most valued institution - and people will be shocked to hear that the Tories have been putting together a secret plan to privatise it. "We all rightly contribute to the NHS through our taxes - but we must make sure that money is spent on doctors and nurses, and not lining the pockets of private sector shareholders." A spokeswoman for the Department of Health said: "This analysis is simply wrong - this government was the first to ensure that doctors, not politicians, make decisions about who provides care." She added that the rate of growth in the use of the private sector was slower than when Labour was in power. "We are committed to the values of the NHS and to delivering a safer seven day service. We are investing an extra £10 billion a year by 2020 so the NHS can introduce its own plan for the future," she said. Chris Mason, BBC political correspondent, said in this keenly fought Labour leadership contest "being seen to be socialist is essential". "Owen Smith will hope this speech, aimed at the left wing electorate of Labour members and supporters who will chose their party's leader, will help burnish his claim to be both radical and effective at holding the government to account," he said. Last month Mr Smith's rival, Jeremy Corbyn, took a dig at his rival for comments he made about "choice" and private health providers when he worked as a lobbyist for drug company Pfizer in 2005. Mr Smith told the BBC he believed in a "100% publicly-owned NHS free at the point of use". Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn has been focusing on education. In an interview with The Observer he said he wanted a "National Education Service" based on the principles of the NHS meaning free education for all, "from cradle to grave". The Labour party has been embroiled in bitter in-fighting since Mr Corbyn's leadership was challenged. Rows escalated over whether the massive influx of new members that have signed up to the party in recent months should be allowed to vote in the election, leading to claims that hard-left activists were trying to infiltrate and sway the result. Labour's National Executive Committee (NEC), the body that governs the party, ruled that full members could only vote if they had at least six months' continuous membership by 12 July. The party offered a window from 18-20 July when more recent members - and non-members - could pay £25 to become "registered supporters" and gain the right to vote. On Friday the Court of Appeal ruled Labour was within its rights to stop some 130,000 new members who did not meet this criteria from voting. The exclusion of the new members is thought to benefit Mr Smith. Mr Corbyn has made a dig at his rival's former job with Pfizer, who he was a lobbyist for in 2005, The unit at Banbury's Horton General Hospital will be midwife-led, rather than consultant-led, from October. But a joint statement from Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, Green and UKIP representatives said they had "major concerns". The hospital trust said patient safety was behind its decision. The joint statement said the politicians wanted to "show a unified front in support of the staff at our hospital" and described the "unity amongst politicians of the area" as "almost unprecedented". It added: "Downgrading the unit to a midwife-only service, leading to women in labour having to travel to the [Oxford] John Radcliffe consultant-led unit an hour's drive away, will put the lives of both mothers and babies at risk. "We believe the decision to downgrade the service at the Horton, even on a temporary basis, is wrong." Former prime minister David Cameron, MP for nearby Witney, added his voice in support of campaigners on Thursday when he said the unit "won't be able to look after all mothers' needs". Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said it was trying to recruit doctors as soon as possible. Bosses revealed in June they might have to downgrade services because there were not enough obstetricians to provide a "safe and effective service". A petition with 17,000 signatures against the plan was delivered to a meeting on Wednesday when the suspension of services was approved. Palmer died at the UPMC Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was undergoing heart tests, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. During a long career he won more than 90 tournaments worldwide, including seven majors. The US Golf Association called him "golf's greatest ambassador". As tributes flooded in from across the world of golf, Tiger Woods tweeted: "Thanks Arnold for your friendship, counsel and a lot of laughs. Your philanthropy and humility are part of your legend." Palmer attracted thousands of diehard fans known as "Arnie's army" and helped to promote the game into the television age. Reaction to golfing great's death 'The King' of golf who changed the game Obituary: Arnold Palmer The golfer was loved as an everyman superstar, and even had a drink named after him - the Arnold Palmer cocktail, made from one part iced tea and one part lemonade. He also gave his name to a professional tournament - The Arnold Palmer Invitational, held each March at his private golf resort in Bay Hill, Florida. Arnold Palmer was the most important golfer to play the game, says the BBC's golf correspondent Iain Carter. "His force of charisma put the game on the map and it never dimmed", he added. Fellow golfing great and a close friend of Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, said he would "miss him greatly". "We just lost one of the incredible people in the game of golf and in all of sports," he tweeted. "Arnold transcended the game of golf. He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. He was a legend." "Remembering the special times I spent with Mr Palmer at Bay Hill. A true pioneer for our sport. Forever remembered," said Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, hours after winning the Tour Championship in Atlanta. "My heart aches with passing of the King. What he did for golf cannot be measured. Athlete, pioneer, philanthropist, family man, and much more...RIP Arnie," tweeted US golfer Zach Johnson. US President Barack Obama also paid tribute to "The King", tweeting a picture of him visiting the White House. The R&A, which runs The Open and jointly governs golf worldwide, called Palmer a gentleman who would live long in people's memories. Its chief executive Martin Slumbers said: "It is with great sadness that we have awoken to hear the news of Arnold Palmer's passing. He was a true gentleman, one of the greatest ever to play the game, and a truly iconic figure in sport. "His contribution to The Open Championship was, and remains, immeasurable. He will be missed and forever remembered by all at The R&A and throughout the world of golf as a charismatic and global champion of our game." Arnold Palmer was the first golf player to make $1m from playing the sport. But he made much more than that from his many off-course endorsements, putting his name to a variety of products and services, from United Airlines to Cadillac cars. Nowadays it is commonplace for sports stars to lend their names to commercial products. But half a century ago such an association between sport and brands was ground-breaking. Palmer, in association with marketer Mark McCormack, was the trailblazer in breaking this new ground. With his winning persona and looks, not to mention golfing ability, Palmer showed that a sportsman or woman could make more from commercial deals than from prize money alone. It is a legacy for which today's high earning stars, earning astronomical sums from their own deals, should be eternally grateful. Palmer was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, in 1929, the son of a groundskeeper at the local country club who later became the professional at the golf club there. He was one of golf's most dominant players in the late 1950s and early 1960s, winning seven major titles over seven seasons. He also notched up 62 PGA Tour wins. In a 1960 cover story written during his heyday, Time magazine swooned over Palmer, whose fans would flock to tournaments in droves: "Win or lose, Palmer, with his daring, slashing attack, is fun to watch. He is a splendidly built athlete (5ft 11in, 177 lbs) with strength in all the right places: massive shoulders and arms, a waist hardly big enough to hold his trousers up, thick wrists, and leather-hard, outsized hands that can crumple a beer can as though it were tissue paper. "Like baseball buffs, golf fans dote on the long-ball hitter; they pack six deep behind the tee to gasp in admiration as Powerman Palmer unwinds to send a 280-yard drive down the fairway." Palmer is survived by his wife Kathleen Kit Gawthrop, his daughters, stepchildren and a large extended family of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The Ibrox side lost 2-1 on aggregate to crash out in the first qualifier. Their part-time opponents, who are ranked 440th by Uefa, secured their first win in European competition. "We need to apologise to our fans because they gave us support and loyalty, they don't deserve this," Caixinha told Rangers TV. "I assume all the responsibility." Kenny Miller's winner in the first leg in Glasgow had put Rangers 1-0 ahead going into the match in Luxembourg. And up until Tuesday night Progres, who finished fourth in Luxembourg's top flight last season [21 points behind champions F91 Dudelange], had not won any of their 13 games in Europe. But it is the side who are only two places below Prestatyn Town of Wales in Uefa rankings - and from a town with a population of 3,000 - who progress to the second qualifying round. Progres had chances before Emmanuel Francoise netted at the near post in the second half, scoring his side's second ever goal in European competition. The second came from a Sebastian Thill free-kick that evaded everyone in the box and curled in at the far post. At 0-0, Rangers had hit the bar through Niko Kranjcar's header and at 2-0 Josh Windass and Kenny Miller also saw efforts come back off the bar. The defeat goes down as one of the worst results in the club's history. "We could not do what we were here to do - win the game," Caixinha added. "It's something that happens once in a lifetime - it happens to us today. "For the second goal we knew we could not commit unnecessary fouls and we did, but as I said, I assume all the responsibility and the disappointment." The Portuguese manager, who has overseen a significant summer rebuild added: "I'm always a positive guy, I never give up. It's a strong moment that we are living and we need to face it, we need all our character, personality and strength. "I believe in this process, I believe in the players and the work we are going to do. "It's a strong lesson that we need to learn from now on, and we need to focus on the positives regarding the future. We need to keep working harder and looking forward." For Progres, this was the greatest result in their history. Head coach Paolo Amodio told BBC Scotland: "It's a great event, amazing. I cannot believe that we won 2-0 against Rangers. It's not possible. "We made history and I can't believe it. It's incredible." The German exchange is concerned that the threshold could be hard to reach without its index fund shareholders. They hold up to 15% of its shares but will not be able to accept the offer until the minimum level of acceptances has already been reached. The merger has already been backed overwhelmingly by LSE shareholders. If it goes through, the tie-up will create the world's biggest exchange by revenue, forecast to be €4.7bn ($5.19bn) this year. A statement from Deutsche Boerse said the parties involved were looking at the potential for lowering the minimum acceptance threshold "with a view to enabling index funds to participate in the offer". It will make a final decision on lowering the threshold on Monday. German shareholders are due to vote on the merger on Tuesday. The merger still needs approval from European Union authorities. It has already been passed by the US and Russia. The two stock exchanges agreed a $27bn (£20bn) merger earlier this year, but the Brexit vote has raised questions about how it should be implemented. The LSE said the deal would still deliver value to shareholders. Radyr was playing Marylebone Cricket Club when officers ran across the pitch and into a neighbouring field, leaving players and spectators watching on. It ended soon after when officers re-appeared with five arrested youths. It is alleged a stolen BMW was involved in the incident and had earlier driven through nearby Hailey Park in Llandaff North. Jo Morgan, the scorer at Radyr Cricket Club, said they had heard the helicopter for a while before they saw a police car heading towards the pitch. "The police got out and ran across the field," she said. "They went into the neighbouring fields and within 10 minutes they were all walking back through with five youths." South Wales Police has been asked to comment on the incident. Prince William called it a "vicious form of criminality" that "erodes the rule of law, fuels conflict and may even fund terrorism". The prince made the speech after visiting an elephant sanctuary in the south western province of Yunnan. He has worked to raise awareness of illegal trading among the Chinese, who are huge consumers of ivory. The prince who is president of the organisation United for Wildlife said: "The greatest threat to elephants worldwide today is not local farmers protecting their livelihoods, it is ruthless and organised poaching and trafficking." He talked about how the world seemed to be "hurtling towards" elephants becoming extinct in the wild which he said would be "an immeasurable loss to humanity". By BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt, in China The irony will not have been lost on Prince William. In Wild Elephant Valley, close to the Burmese border, the prince met Ran Ran and learned about the initiatives being undertaken here to protect Asian elephants. This conservation work is taking place at the same time as elephants are being slaughtered in Africa to satisfy the growing Chinese market in ivory. William can't singlehandedly stop that demand. In a speech he chose not to criticise but to encourage and focus on the work being done in China, work which conservation critics say isn't enough. In the past, the British royals hunted such creatures. Now Prince William, who enjoys shooting, is working to eradicate the illegal wildlife trade. In three days in China, William has drawn attention to the plight of elephants less fortunate than Ran Ran; he's focused on trade; and he's improved the relationship between the Windsors and the Chinese leadership. Read more from Peter The man protecting China's elephants Prince William commended China's contribution to the protection of wildlife in Africa but said there was more work to be done, calling for increased international efforts to prevent criminals from smuggling wildlife via legitimate trade networks and reducing demand for the products. On Thursday China imposed a one-year ban on ivory carving imports but environmental groups said a domestic trading ban was also needed. The prince said he had discussed the issues with China's president Xi Jinping during talks in Beijing. During the visit the prince helped to feed Ran Ran, a 13-year-old rescued female Asian elephant, who was discovered in a jungle river in 2005 with a leg wound caused by a trap. The prince also met villagers in Xishuangbanna prefecture to hear how they were adapting to living in close proximity to wild elephants. He arrived in China on Sunday after a four-day trip to Japan. After initially falling 1% in early trade, the Nikkei 225 closed up 0.2% at 16,054.43 points. Analysts said the early morning falls were due to investors taking profits after the steep rises a day earlier. Shares in Japanese telecoms giant Softbank Group rose nearly 16% after it announced a new share buyback. The firm announced its biggest share buyback to date late on Monday in an attempt to shore up investor sentiment following a sharp fall in its latest quarterly profits. In China, markets rose despite disappointing official trade numbers released on Monday. The Shanghai Composite closed at a three-week high, up 3.3% to 2,836 points, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index finished 1.1% higher at to 19,122 points. Monday's comments from the head of China's central bank, Zhou Xiaochuan, aimed at easing concerns about falls in the country's currency reserves, helped the onshore yuan in its biggest daily rise since 2005 when the country dropped an official peg to the dollar. The onshore yuan is traded only in China. The offshore yuan is free of Beijing's control. Analysts said that investor sentiment had been boosted by Mr Zhou's comments, the yuan's rally and some hints from the government that new stimulus measures may be near. "Trade balance was weak, and the export figures illustrate demand isn't there on a global basis," said Evan Lucas from IG Markets. "However, the Zhou effect cannot be ignored and the CNY [onshore yuan] fix coupled with his comments should settle the fear factor around an August 2015-styled devaluation." Elsewhere, South Korea's Kospi index closed up 1.4% to 1,888 points in line with regional sentiment. The country's central bank left interest rates unchanged at a record low of 1.5%. After falling earlier, Australia's ASX 200 index closed higher, up 1.4% to 4,910 points. The signals were picked up by the Advanced LIGO facilities in the US and are determined to have come from the merger of two huge black holes some three billion light-years from Earth. It is the third time now that the labs' laser instruments have been perturbed by the warping of space-time. The detection confirms that a new era in the investigation of the cosmos is now truly under way. "The key thing to take away from this third, highly confident event is that we're really moving from novelty to new observational science - a new astronomy of gravitational waves," said David Shoemaker, spokesperson for the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. The latest detection, which was made at 10:11 GMT on 4 January, is described in a paper accepted for publication in the journal Physical Review Letters. Once again, it is a merger of black holes, and once again the energy scales involved are extraordinary. The analysis suggests the two black holes that coalesced had starting masses that were just over 31 times and 19 times that of our Sun. And when they finally came together, they produced a single object of a little under 49 solar masses. It means the unison radiated a simply colossal quantity of pure energy. "These are the most powerful astronomical events witnessed by human beings," explained Michael Landry, from the LIGO lab in Hanford, Washington State. "In this case two times the mass of the Sun were converted into deformations in the shape of space. This energy is released in a very short space of time, and none of this comes out as light which is why you have to have gravitational wave detectors." Gravitational waves - Ripples in the fabric of space-time As with the two previous observations - in September and December 2015 - the scientists are uncertain about where on the sky the 4 January event occurred. From the three millisecond gap between the signal being picked up first at Hanford and then at the second lab in Livingston, Louisiana, researchers can only specify a large arc of possibility for the source. Conventional telescopes were alerted to go look for a coincident flash of light, but they saw nothing that could be confidently ascribed to the black hole merger. The LIGO collaboration will only solve this triangulation problem when a third station called VIRGO, in Italy's Pisa province, starts work alongside the US pair this summer. The detection of gravitational waves has been described as one of the most important physics breakthroughs in recent decades. Being able to sense the distortions in space-time that occur as a result of cataclysmic events represents a transformative step in the study of the Universe, one that does not depend on sensing electromagnetic radiation in any of it forms - from radio and optical light through to X-rays and gamma rays. Now, as well as trying to "see" far-off events, scientists can also "listen" to those events as they vibrate the very fabric of the cosmos. And immediately this approach is telling researchers new things. One simple discovery is the recognition of a totally new class of black holes. Before LIGO's discoveries, orbiting pairs of these objects, some of 25 solar masses and greater, were completely unknown. "In two years, we've gone from not knowing these systems existed to being really confident there's a whole population of them out there," commented Sheila Rowan, a collaboration team member from Glasgow University, UK. "And it's all consistent with gravitational waves from one of these systems passing through us about once every 15 minutes, from somewhere in the Universe," she told BBC News. The quest for the future is to get LIGO to sensitivities where more of these events can be detected. Also possible now are new investigations of the properties of black holes. The scientists can tell from the nature of the 4 January signal that the spins of the objects were not fully aligned when they came together. This suggests they were not created from a pair of previously orbiting stars that exploded and then collapsed into black holes. Rather, their origin was more probably as stars that led independent lives and only at some end stage fell in as a duo. "In that first case, we would expect that the spins would stay aligned," said Laura Cadonati, the collaboration's deputy spokesperson. "So, we have found a new tile to put in the puzzle of understanding formation mechanisms." In addition, gravitational wave astronomy permits new tests of Einstein's theories. Because of the greater distance to this merger (twice the distance to the 2015 events), researchers could more easily look for an effect called "dispersion". For light, this describes how electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies will travel at different speeds through a physical medium - to produce a rainbow in a glass prism, for example. Einstein's general theory of relativity forbids any dispersion from happening in gravitational waves as they move out from their source through space towards Earth. "Our measurements are really very sensitive to minute differences in the speeds of different frequencies but we did not discover any dispersion, once again failing to prove that Einstein was wrong," explained Bangalore Sathyaprakash, a LIGO team member from Penn State, US, and Cardiff University, UK. In a poignant coincidence, 4 January was also the day that Heinz Billing, a pioneer of gravitational wave science, died aged 102. The German physicist and computer expert built one of the first laser interferometers - the instruments now used to detect gravitational waves. His early work is credited with making crucial contributions to the development of the eventual LIGO systems. "His group started in about 1975, just before we did it here in Glasgow," recalled LIGO collaborator Jim Hough. "They were following the idea that the American Rai Weiss had had of using multiple beam delay lines, and of course the German detector was absolutely superb. They did fabulous work that has continued in Germany to this day."

He was initially banned for one game but had this overturned by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). "We have a committee in charge of monitoring this and the committee will take action," Fifa secretary general Fatma Samoura told BBC Sport. "What matters is that the committee has to act and the sooner the better. "I have my personal feelings on anybody that is treated like he has been treated, on the pitch and off the pitch but I'm not here for my personal matters. I'm here to make sure that Fifa takes, through the committee, the appropriate action for any single discriminatory action." On Tuesday, Fifa president Gianni Infantino said he would speak to ex-Portsmouth player Muntari, who believes world football's governing body, and European equivalent Uefa are "not taking racism seriously". "We will work together," said Infantino, who also said he intends to talk to the head of FIGC, Carlo Tavecchio. "Unfortunately idiots, there are always idiots everywhere but we have to fight them. We have to work on the people." Fifa was criticised for disbanding its anti-racism task force last September. The organisation defended this decision at the time, with Samoura then saying that it had fulfilled the "mandate" for which it was set up in 2013 - which was to provide recommendations for a "strong programme" to tackle racism. A number of these have been put into action, including the introduction of an Anti-Discrimination Monitoring System to assess 850 high-risk matches for potential discriminatory incidents during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and friendlies. Speaking before this week's Fifa congress meeting in Bahrain, Samoura adopted a different stance to Infantino, saying: "I don't have to call people anytime that they have been victim of an abuse." She continued: "We've been regularly publicising the action of the committee on every action that relates to racism, homophobic chants and any kind of discrimination. "We have monitoring too on anti-discrimination. We have heavy sanctions every time we have been receiving reports." At the weekend, Juventus' Morocco defender Medhi Benatia cut short a post-match television interview on Sunday after claiming to hear a racist insult in his earpiece. On Monday, Boca Junior player Frank Fabra reportedly left the pitch in tears after receiving racist abuse during his side's match with Estudiantes. La Nation says that the Boca players approached the referee to halt the game but he deemed the insults to be isolated. BBC sports editor Dan Roan Does Fifa talk a good game, but not really care when it come to fighting racism, as Sulley Muntari suggested in his hard-hitting interview with my colleague David Ornstein in Milan this week? Those working to eradicate discrimination from football believe the sport is slowly heading in the right direction, with heftier sanctions, regular initiatives, and better monitoring, despite the abolition of Fifa's anti-racism task force last year. But as this case proves, there are still failings, especially in South America, Eastern Europe, and in Russia, where Fifa in their wisdom will stage the next World Cup. 2022 hosts Qatar meanwhile, have the death penalty for homosexual acts. Yet Fifa remains silent, and has not changed its regulations since 2013, something which frustrates campaigners. Despite pressure from groups like Fifpro and Fare, Fifa prefers a 'hands-off' approach when it comes to dealing with national associations, hence their statement last week that the Muntari issue was a matter for the Italian authorities. The implied threat from secretary general Fatma Samoura that the Italians may now be punished should therefore be viewed sceptically. There has been a spate of similar cases in recent years, with players suspended for leaving the field and making a stand against racism, and Fifa has been notoriously reluctant to get involved. Ms Machel called Mozambican Manuel Jossias' murder "a symbol of what must not happen again". In an emotional speech in Johannesburg, she said the recent violence should be "a wake-up" call for the entire region. At least seven people have died over a month of attacks on foreigners and foreign-owned property in South Africa. To loud applause from the crowd, Ms Machel, who is a former first lady of both South Africa and Mozambique, encouraged acceptance of all nationalities: "I am South African. I am Mozambican. I am Zambian. I am Zimbabwean," she said, continuing: "Migration is in our blood! The borders were created by colonisers. They mean nothing to us because we are one." Ms Machel described the recent violence as an "expression of self-hate which was inculcated by the system of apartheid". She stressed that similar attacks would happen again unless countries throughout the region were able to provide better economic opportunities for their people. After her speech, the former first lady broke down in tears, reports the BBC's Milton Nkosi from the scene. Ms Machel, 69, was married to Samora Machel, the first president of independent Mozambique, who died in a 1986 plane crash. She married Mr Mandela on his 80th birthday, in 1998. Speaking on behalf of the family, Mr Jossias' cousin Veronica Sithole told the congregation that he had been the breadwinner for the whole family. "You are robbers because you left us broken. You are evil. You didn't hear him pleading for mercy," she said, addressing his killers directly. Mr Jossias was clubbed and stabbed to death in the Alexandra township of Johannesburg on 18 April. His murder, which was was captured on camera by a photojournalist, shocked the nation and caused global outrage. Initially, he was referred to in the media as Emmanuel Sithole, but South African President Jacob Zuma has since confirmed his real name as Manuel Jossias. "He used a false name to avoid detection by authorities as he was an illegal immigrant", said the president in his freedom day speech on Monday. The president also used his speech to criticise irregular migration from other countries in the region: "As much as we have a problem that is alleged to be xenophobic, our sister countries contribute to this. Why are their citizens not in their countries and are in South Africa?" he asked, in comments reported in local media, but not included in the official government transcript of his speech. Four suspects appeared in court last week over Mr Jossias' killing. The case has been adjourned until 4 May. Mr Jossias in not currently included in the government's official count of victims of the recent xenophobic violence. Among them are current and former US presidents who worked with the elder Israeli statesman. Current US President Barack Obama recalled meeting him in Jerusalem as a young senator, and called Mr Peres a "dear friend" and "the essence of Israel itself". "Perhaps because he had seen Israel surmount overwhelming odds, Shimon never gave up on the possibility of peace between Israelis, Palestinians and Israel's neighbours," he wrote. "A light has gone out, but the hope he gave us will burn forever. "Shimon Peres was a soldier for Israel, for the Jewish people, for justice, for peace, and for the belief that we can be true to our best selves - to the very end of our time on Earth, and in the legacy that we leave to others." Bill Clinton said he would "never forget how happy" Mr Peres was in 1993 when the Oslo Accords were signed on the White House lawn. He called him a "genius with a big heart". "The Middle East has lost a fervent advocate for peace and reconciliation and for a future where all the children of Abraham build a better tomorrow together," he said. "And Hillary and I have lost a true and treasured friend." George Bush Sr praised Mr Peres' "innate humanity, his decency". His son George W Bush said his family "will miss Shimon Peres and his grace, dignity and optimism". British Prime Minister Theresa May called Mr Peres a "visionary and courageous statesman, who worked relentlessly for peace and never lost hope that this would one day be achievable". "My thoughts go out to the Israeli people and the family of Shimon Peres as they mourn the loss of a beloved father and compatriot - a great man who epitomised optimism and a belief that by working together we can build a brighter future for generations to come," she added. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who served eight years as envoy for the Quartet group of Middle East peace mediators, called him a "political giant, a statesman who will rank as one of the foremost of this era or any era, and someone I loved deeply". Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he and his wife Sara "express deep personal sorrow over the passing of the nation's beloved former president". "As a man of vision, his gaze was aimed to the future,'' he said. "As a man of security, he fortified Israel's strength in many ways, some of which even today are still unknown. "As a man of peace, he worked until his final days toward reconciling with our neighbours for a better future for our children.'' A long list of dignitaries and world figures will attend Mr Peres' funeral, Israel's foreign ministry says. They include Pope Francis, US President Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Prince Charles, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas sent a letter of condolences to Mr Peres' family "expressing his sorrow and sadness". "Peres was a partner in creating the peace of the brave with the late President Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Rabin, and has made intensive efforts to reach a long-lasting peace since the Oslo agreement and until the last breath," a statement said. French president Francois Hollande said "Israel has lost one of its most illustrious statesmen, and peace has lost one of its most ardent defenders". Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said it had lost "a highly treasured friend and partner" and mourned "a courageous and wise voice, who was a constant motivation" to do more. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that "even in the most difficult hours, he remained an optimist about the prospects for reconciliation and peace". European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said: "We can only honour his memory with a daily commitment to reconciliation, preserving and advancing his vision for a two-state solution." Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull, Indian PM Narendra Modi and Canadian PM Justin Trudeau have also paid tribute. Britain's Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis described Mr Peres as a "true giant amongst men". "It is true that Shimon Peres was a great statesman. He was the noblest of soldiers, a born leader, a uniquely talented diplomat, an inspiring speaker and a relentless campaigner. "But, more significantly than any of those things, Shimon Peres was the greatest living example of an unshakeable belief in the pursuit of peace against all odds." Israel Defense Forces chief Lt Gen Gadi Eisenkot said Mr Peres, who twice served as defence minister, "left his fingerprints and legacy on all fields of life in Israel", especially the armed forces. Five days after Valencia won a league match under him for the first time, Neville saw his players race into a five-goal lead inside 35 minutes. Santi Mina scored twice and set up three more in a sparkling performance. The visitors improved after the break but Rodrigo wrapped up the win. The result matched Steaua Bucharest's competition record. With a Champions League place at stake for the winners of the Europa League, Neville could end the season on a high despite his side being 12th in La Liga. "Obviously the result makes it my best night in Valencia," Neville said. "But I've never celebrated victories halfway through the season. "I hope to start a positive run but it is dangerous to start thinking about turning points." Earlier on Thursday, holders Sevilla beat Molde 3-0 to take control of their last-32 tie. Former Juventus striker Fernando Llorente struck twice and Kevin Gameiro added a third as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men were well beaten. Villarreal will also defend a lead next week after beating Napoli 1-0 thanks to a superb free-kick from Denis Suarez, while Borussia Dortmund took a large step towards qualification with a 2-0 home win over Porto. Dortmund - who won the now defunct European Cup Winners' Cup in 1966 and the Champions League in 1997 - need the Europa League to complete the set of European trophies and were welcomed by an enormous banner at the Westfalenstadion. Right-back Lukasz Piszczek put them ahead when Iker Casillas failed to keep out his original effort before forward Marco Reus buried a low shot to finish a clinical counter-attack. Midfielder Fleming, 28, moved to the Shrimps from Wrexham in 2010 and has made over 200 appearances for the club. Defender Edwards, 22, initially joined the club on loan from Blackburn in March 2014 and made the switch to the Globe Arena permanent that summer. Both players were out of contract, but boss Jim Bentley offered them new terms for next season. Luke Ayling was pictured with MK Dons midfielder Samir Carruthers and Northampton Town's on-loan striker James Collins, relieving themselves on a racecourse balcony. In a statement Ayling apologised for any embarrassment caused to his club. He said: "I'm devastated it ended up in the media and causing offence." "Looking at the pictures in the cold light of day I regret, firstly, that I put myself in that situation and, secondly, that I didn't remove myself from it earlier," he said. "We were on a sanctioned team day out and I'm devastated it ended up in the national media and causing offence." He added he was "grateful" for the thorough investigation made by the club, which had "cleared my name of any indecent behaviour". On Tuesday, Collins apologised, saying it had "emphasised the negative stereotype of the modern footballer", while Carruthers told Sky Sports News he had "let everyone down". The incident on Tuesday led to a group being banned from the second day of racing. It is not known whether the same group was due to attend. Cheltenham director Ian Renton said the incident was "totally out of place on this racecourse". The four-day Cheltenham Festival is one of the highlights of the horse racing season, with the Queen's granddaughter Zara Tindall and the Countess of Wessex among the guests at this year's event. Gloucestershire Police said it was made aware of the "disgusting and thoughtless act" and no police action would be taken. The balcony was over a lawn and not easily visible, it added. Bedene, 26, played three Davis Cup ties for Slovenia before becoming a British citizen in March 2015. That was after the International Tennis Federation introduced a rule preventing players from representing more than one country. "I've got a strong case, and I'm still positive," Bedene told BBC Sport. The case will be heard in Moldova, with Bedene appearing by video link from Irving in Texas, just a few hours before competing in the final of a Challenger event. Bedene is appealing on the grounds his passport application was lodged before the rule was altered at the start of 2015. The hearing was originally scheduled for Prague in November, but the ITF postponed it - after Bedene had arrived in the Czech Republic - to "ensure the rights of all parties are considered". The Lawn Tennis Association was frustrated by the delay and Andy Murray - who feels Bedene should be eligible for Davis Cup and Olympic Games selection - described it as a "bit disrespectful". "I've been waiting for a year and a half now," said Bedene, who was a practice partner during Britain's Davis Cup tie with Japan earlier this month. "I'm quite nervous - I really want it to be successful. I've got my own 15 minutes over Skype at 5 or 6am, but I'll wake up to do that and try to convince them." Media playback is not supported on this device The Lawn Tennis Association is, privately, talking down its chances, and if the hearing ends in disappointment, Bedene's last option will be an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which seems a likely course of action. "It's a tough one," he said. "If they would say at the beginning 'No,' straightaway, no complications, I would accept that, but it's been taking way too long, and yes, that's the next step." The Pithouse West opencast colliery site, near Rother Valley Park, has been sold by Rotherham Council to the Gulliver's Family Theme Parks firm. The Gulliver's company said on its website the rolling development of the site would cost about £37m. The plan includes a theme park, adventure centre, "glamping" woodland lodges, a hotel and holiday village. Rotherham Council said its decision was subject to certain conditions being met and planning permission being approved but, if successful, building work could start "as early as next year". In a statement the authority said: "Gulliver's Valley Resort would be developed in four or five phases over a 12-year period." The Gulliver's company said its development of the Pithouse West site - the site of the former Brookhouse Colliery, which closed in 1985 - was planned to be "sympathetic, retaining and enhancing large areas of existing woodland as attractive elements of the resort". Managing director Julie Dalton said: "We want to create a 'whole park feel', with nature trails, walks, outdoor gyms and woodland runs which can be used by our guests and the local community alike." The first phase of developing Gulliver's Valley would be the theme park and associated areas, taking about two years. Gulliver's already operates three family theme parks at Matlock Bath, Warrington and Milton Keynes. Five government commissioners were selected to run Rotherham Council until March 2019 after a report found the local authority "not fit for purpose" over its handling of child sexual exploitation in the town. In agreeing to the sale of the 333-acre site, one of the commissioners, Julie Kenny, said she was "absolutely delighted" to see a well-established family company planning to locate to the area. The rare machines, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, were taken by thieves who targeted a vintage store in Weybridge, Surrey. Other gaming machines were also stolen in the burglary on The Games Room, in Hamm Moor Lane. Collectors have been asked to help look out for the stolen items. The machines are "extremely distinctive" and have unique serial numbers, making them easily recognisable, police said. The burglary happened between 17:00 BST on 28 August and 08:00 the next day, but details have only just been released by Surrey Police. PC Matt Ladd said: "Our enquiries so far have led us to believe that this was a thoroughly researched and pre-planned job. "We are very keen to speak to anybody who saw anything or who has heard conversations around this incident." He urged anyone who saw pictures of the items on sites like eBay or Gumtree, or who knew of someone selling them at car boot sales or vintage fairs, to get in touch. Pakistan said Indian troops had raided a military post in the Haji Pir sector of Pakistani-administered Kashmir, killing a soldier and injuring another. An Indian army spokesman said it had responded to a "ceasefire violation" but did not cross the Line of Control. Kashmir is claimed by both nations in its entirety and has been a flashpoint between them for more than 60 years. Exchanges are not uncommon but rarely result in fatalities. The Pakistani military said in a statement that Indian troops had "physically raided a checkpost named Sawan Patra". The Haji Pir Pass is just south of the main road from Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir to Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir. "Pakistan army troops effectively responded to the attack," the Pakistani statement said, adding that Indian troops had left behind weapons as they retreated. One Pakistani soldier was killed and another critically injured, it said. Indian army spokesman Col Jagadish Dahiya told Reuters news agency it had responded to a "ceasefire violation" by Pakistan. He added: "None of our troops crossed the Line of Control. We have no casualties or injuries." Another Indian army spokesman, Col Brijesh Pandey, told Associated Press that Pakistani troops had "initiated unprovoked firing" with mortar shells and automatic weapons at Indian military posts. One civilian home was destroyed, he said. "We retaliated only using small arms. We believe it was clearly an attempt on their part to facilitate infiltration of militants," Col Pandey said. There has been a ceasefire in Kashmir since late 2003. India suspended a peace process with Pakistan following attacks by Pakistan-based militants in Mumbai in 2008. Negotiations resumed in February last year. Last month, the nations signed an agreement to ease visa restrictions on travel for some citizens. Media playback is not supported on this device The Honest Men became the first team in the cup to use a fourth substitute in extra-time with Michael Rose replacing Nicky Devlin against Queen's Park. Though defender Rose only came on in the 121st minute at Hampden, he played an important part in Ayr's win. After a 2-2 draw, Rose scored from the spot in a 5-4 penalty shoot-out win. Media playback is not supported on this device The Scottish FA announced in September that a fourth replacement could be used in extra-time in this season's competition. England's FA Cup will allow a fourth substitute in extra-time from the quarter-finals onwards, starting this term. It was an eventful match at the national stadium with League One Queen's Park twice leading their Championship opponents and then having a man sent off. Paul Woods and Bryan Wharton netted for Gus MacPherson's Spiders but those goals were cancelled out by Craig Moore and Conrad Balatoni. The hosts' Sean Burns was dismissed in the first half of extra-time after receiving a second booking. A shoot-out ensued after Rose's introduction and though he was successful with his kick from 12 yards, team-mate Paul Cairney missed his at 2-2. But Ayr goalkeeper Greg Fleming saved from Wharton and Gregor Fotheringham to give the visitors a 5-4 win on penalties. They will host Clyde or Stirling Albion at Somerset Park on the weekend of 11 and 12 February. Few facts have been released by the city, Minneapolis police, or the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), which is leading the investigation. The BCA investigation may take up to four months, according to the Hennepin County Attorney, who will determine whether to press charges against the officers after investigators present him with their findings. So what do we know? Just before 23:30 local time, officers Matthew Harrity and Mohamed Noor responded to Damond's 911 emergency call of a suspected assault in an alleyway behind her home. She lived at the property with her American fiancé whom she had planned to marry in August. Dressed in her pyjamas, Damond approached the squad car, which had its lights turned off. A conversation followed and Officer Noor, who was in the passenger's seat, shot her through the driver's open window, Officer Harrity told officials. "Harrity indicated that he was startled by a loud sound near the" car, according to the preliminary BCA report released on Tuesday. A police radio recording from the incident says they also mention hearing a loud noise, which they suspect are fireworks. The 40-year-old yoga teacher was struck in the abdomen and died at the scene at 23:51 local time, despite the officers attempts to save her. No weapons were found at the scene. Damond's mobile phone was recovered near her body. Officer Noor has refused to speak to investigators, as is his legal right, and officials do not know if he will ever provide a statement. Neither officers had turned on their bodycams, and the vehicle's dashboard camera did not capture the incident, investigators say. For the past six months, every police officer in Minneapolis has been equipped with body-worn cameras, but officers are required to switch them on only during certain encounters. Unlike in Los Angeles or Washington DC, where cameras must be switched on for any response to a call for service, Minneapolis officers have more discretion to turn them off - for instance when interviewing a confidential source. Instead, there are more than a dozen situations in which cameras should be used, according to the police manual, which adds that failure to use the camera could result in job termination. Without any video evidence, investigators are hopeful that a cyclist who was seen watching police perform CPR on Damond, will come forward to give his account. Australian media has extensively covered the story, and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said that he wants answers from the US. "It is a shocking killing, and yes, we are demanding answers on behalf of her family," he told Australian TV on Wednesday. Her fiance, Don Damond said the family is "desperate for information", adding that "piecing together Justine's last moments before the homicide would be a small comfort as we grieve this tragedy". Minneapolis officials have described the death as a "tragedy" and have demanded an transparent and speedy investigation. Officer Noor, described by local media as a Somali-American, was described as "a caring person with a family he loves and he empathised with the loss others are experiencing". On Wednesday morning, hundreds of people gathered for a dawn vigil at a Sydney beach to honour Ms Damond. The competition had been filled with highs and lows for the three finalists which included surviving the dreaded dance-off and scoring 10s from notoriously difficult judge Craig Revel-Horwood. Here we look at what Danny Mac, Ore Oduba and Louise Redknapp brought to the 2016 show: Famous for: Being an actor - he appeared on long-running soap Hollyoaks. Known on Strictly for: His shirt "accidentally" coming undone - and occasionally being so good he is confused for one of the professional dancers. Grand final dances: The couple's favourite dance was their samba to Magalenha by Sergio Mendes. Their showdance was performed to Set Fire to the Rain by Adele. Mabuse said the dance expressed Mac's journey on Strictly Come Dancing and how "Strictly has made him a better person". Best moment: "The best moment for a high was probably the samba and getting that score - the first time everything went as good as it could possibly have been." Worst moment: "It was the foxtrot, the disappointment Oti felt that she hadn't done enough. It broke my heart that she felt she hadn't done enough for me." Key quotes: Famous for: Being a BBC sports presenter. Known on Strictly for: Getting emotional and shedding a few tears - on more than one occasion. Grand final dances: Oduba and Clifton took to the dancefloor with a jive to Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars, their favourite of the series. Their showdance was set to I Got Rhythm by George and Ira Gershwin. Best moment: "For me, the best thing has been learning to dance with such an amazing friend." Worst moment: "Being in the dance-off for the first time for the salsa. In that moment, the whole Strictly experience flashes before your eyes and within a dance, you might not be able to do this again. And it's crushing." Key quotes: Famous for: Performing with girl band Eternal and as a solo singer. Grand final dances: The dance picked by the pair to repeat for the final was their Argentine Tango to Tanguera by Sexteto Mayor. Their showdance was to One Moment in Time by Whitney Houston, which Clifton said was "based on Louise... her story on Strictly, how she's developed from the beginning to the end". Best moment: "The moment I enjoyed most was probably with my feathers, in Big Spender - getting to stand up there with two big feathers, shimmying, it's good fun." Worst moment: "Apart from wearing a fruit hat on Saturday, which wasn't one of my finest moments - I had a slight meltdown over wearing the fruit hat - I cried in rehearsals trying to learn the rumba and I'm not that person - I don't cry when I can't get something. I just get on with it. I never thought Strictly would affect me like that."

The ban follows other restrictive measures imposed by Russia and Ukraine on each other since Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. They have barred each other's main TV channels on their territory. Ukraine has blacklisted 83 cultural figures, most of them Russian, whom it considers a national security threat. Those on the list - barred from visiting Ukraine - mostly support Russia's annexation of Crimea and the pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine. The list includes film directors Karen Shakhnazarov and Pavel Lungin and the actors Vasily Lanovoi, Valentin Gaft and Oleg Tabakov, Russia's Tass news agency reports. The cultural tit-for-tat war has escalated during the conflict in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists control much of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Ukraine accuses Russia of waging a propaganda war against it, and of helping the rebels with heavy weapons and professional soldiers. Moscow denies that, but says some Russian "volunteers" are helping the rebels. The international security organisation OSCE says there are many daily violations of the Minsk ceasefire accord by both sides. Ambassador Martin Sajdik, an OSCE special representative, spoke of 4,700 violations in just 24 hours, including deployments of heavy weapons that should have been stored. Russian is widely spoken in Ukraine - not just in the east - and millions of Ukrainians have ethnic Russian relatives. There was a shared culture in Soviet times, before 1991, and most Soviet-era films can still be shown in Ukraine. Similarly, Russia has banned many Ukrainian performers. That blacklist includes many Ukrainian pop and rock stars popular in Russia, BBC Ukraine specialist Olexiy Solohubenko reports. Last August, a Russian court jailed Ukrainian film-maker Oleg Sentsov for 20 years for plotting terrorist acts in Crimea. He pleaded not guilty. The new ban on Russian films was signed into law by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Wednesday. It also includes any Russian films made since 1991 that "glorify the work of [Russian] government bodies". It widens an existing Ukrainian ban on Russian films and TV series that, in Kiev's view, positively portray Russian secret police or other security forces. Dozens of Russian books are also on a Ukrainian blacklist, because they are perceived to contain Russian nationalist messages. Wide-ranging tit-for-tat trade embargos are also costing both countries billions of dollars. Ukraine has stopped exporting arms and military components to Russia and no longer buys gas from Gazprom. Russia and Ukraine have hit each other with food import bans, including dairy produce and vegetables. The Russian National Guard says militants took advantage of heavy fog to try to storm one of its bases overnight on Thursday. Six attackers are also said to have been killed in the gun battle. Russian forces have fought two wars against Islamist separatists in Chechnya since 1994. They still face a low-level insurgency in the mainly Muslim region in Russia's volatile North Caucasus area. But clashes between the two sides have become less commonplace in recent years, correspondents say. The insurgency has been quelled largely because of Chechnya's authoritarian leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has ruled Chechnya since his forces, helped by massive Russian firepower, defeated separatist rebels between 1999-2009. His much-feared militia, called the "Kadyrovtsy", have been accused of kidnapping, torture and other human rights abuses. Qatar has bought up banks across the globe, football clubs in Europe, and properties in the heart of London with some of the highest price tags on the planet. But the worldwide energy price slump is putting pressure on the small Gulf country, highlighted by cutbacks to flagship projects and talk of reforms being made to its subsidies and tax systems. Is this a signal that the economic superpower is finally feeling the financial squeeze? Qatar's financial cuts have been extensive - encompassing development projects, cultural schemes, education, transport and its 2022 football World Cup spending. The country is focusing on completing its 2022 World Cup stadiums, which are estimated to cost some $220bn (£155bn), although in 2014 the government reduced the number of planned stadiums from 12 to eight, reportedly linked to spiralling costs. However, Qatar's World Cup organising committee has denied the plans were scaled back for economic reasons. The Gulf state is cutting costs in a range of other ways. Qatar Rail announced in January that it had sacked 50 employees as part of a "business efficiency review". Energy firms RasGas, Qatar Petroleum and Maersk Oil Qatar have laid-off thousands of employees since 2014. The Sidra Medical and Research Centre, funded by the Qatar Foundation - a non-profit body - has announced staff cuts. Cuts at the foundation have also led to the end of a partnership with Bloomsbury Publishing, reduced spending on the film industry, and cuts to university budgets. Qatar's Museum Authority announced in January that 250 staff had been laid off and plans for two new museums shelved. And since the start of 2016, broadcaster Al-Jazeera has laid off more than 1,000 staff at its global offices and headquarters and has closed Al-Jazeera America. Qatar has also indicated that it plans to privatise some state-run firms. The country's generous subsidy system is a major cash drain. It is thought that subsidies will be cut back to exclude foreign nationals. This is particularly pressing because of a rapid influx of foreign labour, which has driven the population figure up by 40% since 2010. The country raised petrol costs by more than 30% in January to combat its deficit with just a few hours' notice. With up to 1,000 troops in Yemen as part of the Saudi-led campaign against Houthi rebels, Qatar is involved in one of its largest-ever military engagements. It is expanding its military - on which it spent $23bn in 2014 alone - possibly as a reaction to the threat posed by militants from the so-called Islamic State group, and growing tensions between Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Iran. Bucking a 15-year trend, Qatar predicts a budget deficit of almost $13bn for 2016. Its financial dependency on oil and gas is likely to be behind this. The global price of a barrel of oil has plummeted by more than 70% since June 2014. Last November, Development Minister Saleh Mohammad Al Nabit said pressure on state finances meant that the government had to be more disciplined in its spending. International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has also urged Doha to make tax and spending reforms. Qatar's ruler, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, said in November 2015 that he hoped the fall in energy prices would reduce dependency on the state, warning against "wasteful spending, overstaffing and a lack of accountability". Qatar's wide scale cutbacks to its workforce certainly seem to fall in line with his wishes. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

Update 13 April, 2016: This story has been amended to include Qatar's denial that it reduced the number of World Cup stadiums for economic reasons. South Wales Police said it was called to a sudden death in Dunraven Bay, Southerndown, just after 10:00 BST on Sunday. It is not being treated as suspicious and police inquiries are ongoing. The Welsh Ambulance Service said it was called by the Coastguard to reports of a man falling from a cliff. Police, the fire service, ambulance crews and the Coastguard helicopter were all sent to the scene. The film, directed by 300's Zack Snyder and starring British actor Henry Cavill as the superhero, opens in UK cinemas this week. Total Film praised "an intelligent, earnest attempt to modernise and mature the original superhero". But The Guardian noted Cavill's "frowning humourlessness". In his review, writer Andrew Pulver said the influence of producer Christopher Nolan - British director of Inception and the Dark Knight trilogy - was evident in early scenes where Superman struggles to accept his identity. "Reminiscent, perhaps, of Batman Begins, this is superheroism as a burden, and a burden transformed into neurosis," he wrote. "It's this early part of the film that is most successful," Pulver continues. "Nolan and Snyder, along with scriptwriter David S Goyer, have created a plausible context for the introspection and self-doubt that dogs the adult version of their costumed warrior." Man of Steel sees Superman attempt to save the world while battling General Zod, a rebellious military leader from his home planet of Krypton - played by Boardwalk Empire's Michael Shannon. In its four-star review, Total Film said the film's action set-pieces made up for the lack of action in a previous attempt at a "reboot", 2006's Superman Returns, "There are some truly titanic clashes here between super-beings, going at it like flesh-and-blood Transformers," wrote Matthew Leyland. Cavill, he said, "doesn't make heavy work of one of the biggest, toughest roles in comic-book cinema" but is overall "more solid than spectacular." Jersey native Cavill, 30, is the first non-American to play the role of Superman on screen - a "tough gig" according to Empire magazine. "While there are some interesting touches," writes Dan Jolin, "his Kal-El is a bit stiff and slow to thaw" - a reference to Superman's Krypton birth name. However, he concludes: "It feels the right Superman origin story for our era, and teases what would be a welcome new superfranchise." In the US, reviewers have also picked up on the film's darker tone and lack of humour. Variety said Man of Steel "is undeniably impressive, in the sense that little if any expense has been spared in bringing Snyder's vision to the screen". According to Scott Foundas, though, "this is a case where less would almost surely have been more". "Zack Snyder's huge, back story-heavy extravaganza is a rehab job that perhaps didn't cry out to be done," said The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy. But the film, he continues, "proves so overwhelmingly insistent in its size and strength that it's hard not to give in". Man of Steel is out in the UK and US on Friday.

There were 861 formed in 2015 compared with 1,683 the year before. Civil partnerships have declined by 85% since 2013, a result of the introduction of marriage for same-sex couples in 2014. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said dissolutions of civil partnerships had risen as more couples swapped them for marriages. The figures for 2015 showed two thirds (66%) of civil partnerships were between men. And almost half (48%) of people forming a partnership were aged 50 and over. Dissolved partnerships increased 14% on 2014 to 1,211. Elizabeth McLaren of the ONS said: "Civil partnerships have fallen sharply since the introduction of marriages for same-sex couples in March 2014. "On the other hand, civil partnership dissolutions have increased due to the rising number of civil partnerships that were formed since they were introduced in December 2005. Dissolutions are likely to reduce in the future as more same sex couples form marriages instead of civil partnerships." London was the most popular place to form a civil partnership with 294 of the total. The figures also showed that in the North East, Yorkshire and The Humber and Wales more partnerships were formed between women than men. Japan's Nikkei 225 was later down 0.8% to 15,918.7 points. The yen rose as much as 0.3% against the dollar in early Asia trade, hurting some of Japan's big exporters, while oil prices lost more than 4% overnight. In Australia, energy related shares were hit by the fall in oil prices. BHP was down more than 7% and Santos fell nearly 3%. Australian miner Fortescue said on Wednesday that its first-half net profit fell by 3.6% as the price of iron ore tumbled amid a mounting global supply glut. Its Sydney-listed shares were down 1.4%. Sydney's ASX 200 was down 1.2% to 4,919.3 points. In China, shares were mixed in early trade. The Shanghai Composite index was up 0.67% to 2,922.9 points, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong was down 0.3% to 19,355.43. Shares in lender Standard Chartered sank more than 6% in early Hong Kong trade after the Asia-focused bank on Tuesday posted a $1.5bn (£1.1bn) loss. In his annual budget speech on Wednesday, Hong Kong's financial secretary John Tsang said he expected the city's economy to grow between 1% and 2% this year. South Korea's Kospi index was up 0.13% at 1,916.46 points. Last week, campaigner Peter Mitchell called the toilet sign at Limavady Health Centre "deeply offensive". Mr Mitchell had said there was an onus on health care providers to use more acceptable language. The new Western Health Trust sign makes no reference to physical disabilities apart from using the wheelchair symbol. Peter Mitchell, a local actor and wheelchair user, had said that for him and many others, the word "handicapped" was outdated and insulting. "It comes from mid 17th century when disabled people were seen as second class citizens, they literally had to beg on the streets with their cap in their hands. "Do people look at me because I am in a wheelchair, as a second class citizen, that I have nothing to offer?" he asked. It is understood the sign was replaced on Monday. So, what do you do? Watch in the local fan park? Perhaps find a nice bar? Nope... the BBC World Service's Steve Crossman got an invite to a house party to watch the game, and charted the range of emotions felt by his hosts throughout the evening as Barcelona won 3-1. Barcelona score after four minutes - not the best start to any party! Spirits are raised when Juventus begin to improve... It's all a bit of a blur as Juventus level through Alvaro Morata... Parity is short-lived as, 13 minutes later, Luis Suarez makes it 2-1... Meanwhile, on the streets of Barcelona... Who thinks the ref was right to chalk out a Neymar goal for handball? It's all over - Barcelona win 3-1 - but the Juventus fans are still proud, and even let Steve (second from left) in to a picture The Championship starts a week earlier on 10 April with promoted Surrey facing Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. The White Rose county will launch the season on 20 March when they play against the MCC in Abu Dhabi. The NatWest T20 Blast starts on Friday, 20 May and the Royal London One-Day Cup on Sunday, 5 June. The basic format for the summer remains unchanged, with most Championship fixtures starting on Sundays and the majority of T20 Blast games on Friday evenings. One big change will see the mandatory coin toss scrapped in both Championship divisions with the visiting captain being offered the opportunity of bowling first. If he declines, the toss will take place as normal. If he accepts, there will be no toss. The opening round of Championship games will also see 2008, 2009 and 2013 champions Durham take on Somerset and Hampshire, who avoided relegation on the final day of the 2015 season, play Warwickshire in Division One. In Division Two, relegated Worcestershire face Kent at New Road, and Sussex, who also went down, travel to Northants. Essex, who will begin the season under a new head coach following Paul Grayson's departure in September, play Gloucestershire at Chelmsford. The second round of Division One games sees Yorkshire play Hampshire at Headingley, while Lancashire get their campaign under way against Nottinghamshire who will have Australian fast bowler Peter Siddle available. Yorkshire, who were the last side to win three titles in a row from 1966-1968, face Lancashire in the first Roses match of the summer at Headingley on 29 May, with the reverse fixture at Old Trafford beginning on 13 August. Lancashire, the reigning T20 Blast champions, start their defence of that trophy against Derbyshire on Saturday, 21 May, with the two nine-team North and South groups unchanged from 2015. Beaten finalists Northants, who will be without England all-rounder David Willey following his move to Yorkshire, face a trip to three-time Twenty20 winners Leicestershire. The final round of 14 group games takes place on Friday, 29 July, with the quarter-finals taking place from 8-11 August. Edgbaston will play host to finals day for the eighth time on Saturday, 20 August, nine days earlier than this summer. The group stage of the 50-over One-Day Cup will be split over a couple of fortnights - one between 5-15 June and the other from 24 July - 2 August - with the groups made the same as those in the T20 Blast. The final at Lord's, which saw Gloucestershire beat Surrey by six runs in 2015, is on Saturday, 17 September. It comes before the last round of Championship fixtures, starting on 20 September, in which Yorkshire visit Middlesex - the only side to beat Jason Gillespie's men in first-class cricket in 2015. Group A: Warwickshire, Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Worcestershire, Northants. Group B: Kent, Essex, Sussex, Hampshire, Middlesex, Surrey, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Glamorgan. North: Birmingham Bears (Warwickshire), Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Worcestershire, Northants. South: Kent, Essex, Sussex, Hampshire, Middlesex, Surrey, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Glamorgan. The 24-year-old was found at a house in Park Parade, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire at 22:30 GMT on Wednesday. His injuries are serious but not life threatening. West Yorkshire Police believe the shooting was "targeted" and took place in nearby Cemetery Road. Another person was threatened before the shooting in what officers believe was "mistaken identity". The shooting has also been linked to a robbery and an attempted robbery. A Peugeot was stolen as a getaway vehicle in one of the incidents. Live updates and more stories from Yorkshire Police are looking for four males in their late teens/early twenties. Three of them are described by the force as being Asian, Afghan and Afro-Caribbean. Det Ch Insp Sue Jenkinson said the suspects were in possession of a shotgun. 　 Detectives are also appealing for anyone who may have seen a damaged dark-coloured VW Golf. Durham County Council was criticised for selling Windlestone Hall near Bishop Auckland for £240,000 in 2011. Now the estate where Sir Anthony Eden was born, which comprises the hall and 25 acres (10.1 hectares) of grounds, is on the market again. The council said disposing of the hall was the best option at the time. An external auditor reviewed the sale and found it complied with the rules, although the authority was criticised for a lack of transparency. John Shuttleworth, who represents Weardale on Durham County Council, has been a vehement critic of the sale and earlier this year asked Durham Police to investigate it. He said he was not surprised by the estate being put back up for sale, adding "the council are closing care homes and turning off street lights to save some money, but this makes a total nonsense of all of that". Ian Thompson, Durham County Council's corporate director of regeneration, said the estate had been up for sale for a number of years but, due to the condition of the building, the state of the market and the ongoing maintenance costs, the £240,000 they received was the "only viable" option. He said: "As well as generating £240,000 for the council, the sale of the hall has delivered substantial savings to the council, including £300,000 since November 2011 on security, heating and repair costs. "The council is also no longer responsible for carrying out the £3m of urgent repairs that the building required." The estate is being sold through Urban Base with a total asking price of £2.56m. Running the day after the death of her grandmother, Mageean, 24, held off Fionnuala McCormack and Olympic steeplechaser Michelle Finn for gold. "The 1500m at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade are my focus" said Mageean suffering from a cold. "That's what I am looking forward to - getting over there and running good and fast." Mageean clocked 9:08.83 to win in the new National Indoor Arena , four seconds clear of silver medallist Finn with McCormack taking bronze seven seconds behind Mageean. "The time is not overly fast," added Mageean. "I was nervous going into the race because it was a very good field with all the girls there. "Fionnuala and Michelle are good hard competitors, especially over 3,000 metres. I am happy to come away with the win and the title. "It's a good confidence boost and I still have a good two hard weeks in the lead up to Belgrade, so I will be focused on being healthy and getting rid of this head cold." Elsewhere, Letterkenny's Brendan Boyce took bronze in the 5,000m walk in 20:09.28 as Alex Wright broke Rob Heffernan's national record in 18:50.70. Finn Valley's Summer Lecky took the high jump gold with a best of 1.81m, while Peter Glass, formerly of North Down, took pole vault silver with a best of 4.45 metres. Arsenal midfielder Wilshere, 24, was left out of the two previous squads but his form has improved during his current loan spell at Bournemouth. Spurs striker Kane has recovered from the ankle injury that saw him miss the matches against Malta and Slovenia. Wilshere is a player that we feel has a lot of class and is now starting to get more 90 minutes under his belt Manchester United's Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw are not in the squad. Both defenders were declared unfit for United's 3-1 win at Swansea. Spurs midfielder Dele Alli also misses out having twisted his knee during training in the build-up to Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Sunday. Burnley's Michael Keane is included again, having received his first call-up as injury cover for last month's games. Full-back Nathaniel Clyne and midfielders Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling also return to the set-up after overcoming injuries. "Over the last few weeks we've been looking at as many games as possible and keeping track of all of the players," said interim England boss Gareth Southgate. "Wilshere is a player that we feel has a lot of class and is now starting to get more 90 minutes under his belt. It's good to bring him back into the squad." England face Scotland on Friday at Wembley Stadium and then play Spain on Tuesday, 15 November. Phil McNulty, chief football writer Wilshere's loan move to Bournemouth from Arsenal was designed to revive his career with club and country - his England recall for the first time since the doomed Euro 2016 campaign proves its success. The midfielder was left badly exposed by former England manager Roy Hodgson's misplaced loyalty in selecting him for France on the back of 141 minutes over three games for Arsenal at the back end of last season. He looked totally ill-equipped physically to play and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger clearly felt the only way he could recover was to go somewhere else and get regular games away from Emirates Stadium. Wilshere has impressed at Bournemouth and his fitness has improved to such an extent he played his first full 90 minutes in the goalless draw with Spurs on 22 October. Southgate has taken note, recalling how Wilshere has been an international influence when fully fit, and brought him back for the World Cup qualifier with Scotland and the friendly against Spain at Wembley. England's 25-man squad to face Scotland and Spain: Forster (Southampton), Hart (Torino), Heaton (Burnley); Bertrand (Southampton), Cahill (Chelsea), Clyne (Liverpool), Jagielka (Everton), Keane (Burnley), Rose (Tottenham), Stones (Man City), Walker (Tottenham); Dier (Tottenham), Drinkwater (Leicester), Henderson (Liverpool), Wilshere (Bournemouth), Lallana (Liverpool), Lingard (Man Utd), Rooney (Man Utd), Sterling (Man City), Townsend (Crystal Palace); Walcott (Arsenal), Kane (Tottenham), Rashford (Man Utd), Sturridge (Liverpool), Vardy (Leicester).

At the push of a button, the vehicle's "highway pilot" helped it avoid other road users via a radar and camera sensing system. The company reiterated the requirement that a human driver be present and focused on the road at all times. Earlier in the year, Daimler had expressed its desire to carry out such a test by the end of 2015. "As soon as we are on the highway, we will start the autonomous driving mode," said Daimler executive Wolfgang Bernhard as he steered the Mercedes-Benz Actros truck towards a busy stretch of motorway in Baden-Wurttemberg last week. Then, at the push of a blue button on the vehicle's dashboard, the autonomous driving system took over. It successfully piloted the vehicle along the motorway, reaching speeds up to 80km/h (50mph). Mr Bernhard and Winfried Kretschmann, Minister-President for Baden-Wurttemberg, shared a coffee in the cab, as Mr Bernhard continued to describe how the technology worked. The system identifies markings on the road as well as other vehicles and obstacles with a camera and radar mounted at the front of the lorry. At an earlier press event, Mr Bernhard had emphasised the system's reliability. "The highway pilot brings more safety because it is never inattentive, it is never tired, it is always present 100%," he said. "It never loses concentration or focus." The lorry, he said, was, therefore, safer and more efficient than any human driver. "No matter how well you accelerate, slow down or steer a truck you can never do it as good as the highway pilot can," he said. Alan Stevens, of the Transport Research Laboratory, told the BBC: "I'm pleased that the trucks have proven safe enough to now undergo realistic road trials. "Such trials are really the only way to understand the real economic and safety benefits. "The behaviour of other drivers will be very interesting to see so I look forward to the result." News of Daimler's test comes as a Japanese company, Robot Taxi Inc, reveals a plan to provide self-driving cars to people in Kanagawa, just south of Tokyo, in 2016. About 50 people will be selected to take part in the trial. The cars will be able to self-drive only along a 3km stretch of public road in the area. Those selected for the trial will be accompanied by a human driver, who will control the vehicle at all other times, and a second person on-hand for safety reasons. The company is also hoping to provide self-driving vehicles to visitors to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Ultimately, it aims to develop driverless cars that require no human driver at all. "Unlike many automakers, we are aiming for what the US government calls Level 4 driverless technology - which doesn't call for any human intervention," a spokesman told the BBC. Demonstrations by people from the Oromo ethnic group have been sparked by fears that Oromo farmers could be displaced. Human rights groups have estimated that at least 140 people were killed by security forces during the protests. The ruling party in the Oromia region said it was dropping the plan following discussions with local people. The Oromo People's Democratic Organisation (OPDO) made the decision after three days of talks, the state broadcaster EBC reports. The OPDO, along with the Addis Ababa city authority, would have been responsible for implementing the "master plan". Oromia is Ethiopia's largest region, and completely surrounds the capital. The government has disputed the death toll quoted by the New York-based Human Rights Watch, saying the figure was an overestimation. Abiy Berhane from Ethiopia's London embassy told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme that the government "has been trying to avoid confrontation", but the protests were hijacked "by people whose intention it was to induce violent confrontation". The government has also said that plan was going to be implemented only once "a consensus had been reached after in-depth and full discussions". But a message on the Facebook page of a leading online campaigner says Oromo activists have "dismissed" the government's change of heart as "as too little too late". The master plan was proposed as a way to incorporate the areas close to Addis Ababa into the capital's rapidly developing economy. The recent wave of protests began in November last year, but anger over the proposed expansion of Addis Ababa goes back to 2014. Observers say that the Oromo protests build on long-standing complaints that the community has been excluded from political and economic power. At the last census in 2007, the Oromo made up Ethiopia's biggest ethnic group, at about 25 million people out of a population at the time of nearly 74 million. The gem came into British hands in the 19th Century and is part of the Crown Jewels on show at the Tower of London. Ownership of the priceless gem is an emotional issue for many Indians, who believe it was stolen by the British. On Monday, India's solicitor-general had told the court that it was "neither stolen nor forcibly taken". Ranjit Kumar, who was representing India's government in the hearing, had said the 105-carat diamond had been "gifted" to the East India company by the former rulers of Punjab in 1849. But a statement by India's ministry of culture on Tuesday said the government "further reiterates its resolve to make all possible efforts to bring back the Koh-i-noor diamond in an amicable manner". Mr Kumar's comments, which elicited surprise in India, did not represent the views of the government, the statement said. The official submission to the court has yet to be made, it added. The case is being heard by the Supreme Court after an Indian NGO filed a petition asking the court to direct the Indian government to bring back the diamond. The court is still considering the issue, and said it did not want to dismiss the petition as it could "stand in the way" of future attempts to bring back items that once belonged to India. Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, said in 2009 that it should be returned as "atonement for the colonial past". However, successive British prime ministers have refused to do so. Most recently, David Cameron said that returning it would set an "unworkable precedent". "If you say yes to one, you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty," he told Indian media during a trip to the country in 2010. The diamond was last worn by the late Queen Mother and was displayed on her crown when her coffin lay in state after her death in 2002. The Koh-i-Noor, meaning "Mountain of Light" in Persian, is the most famous diamond in the Crown Jewels. It has been the subject of conquest and intrigue for centuries, passing through the hands of Mughal princes, Iranian warriors, Afghan rulers and Punjabi Maharajas. Attempting to sum up its worth, the 18th Century Afghan queen Wufa Begum said: "If a strong man were to throw four stones, one north, one south, one east, one west, and a fifth stone up into the air, and if the space between them were to be filled with gold, all would not equal the value of the Koh-i-Noor." The stone was originally found in India's Golconda mines and measured 186 carats when it was eventually handed to the British in 1849 under the terms of a punitive treaty following the Anglo-Sikh war. It was signed by the 10-year-old Sikh ruler after his mother was thrown in jail. However, the diamond's traditional rose cut did not impress visitors to the Great Exhibition in 1851 and so it was re-cut as an oval brilliant, gaining sparkle but losing about 40% of its weight in the process. The 105.6 carat stone - the size of a hen's egg - is currently set in the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. It is said to be unlucky for men to wear the Koh-i-Noor diamond owing to its long and bloody history. Some Indian and Pakistani visitors to the Tower of London hiss as they pass it - they want it returned to the subcontinent, though to which country remains unclear. The album shifted nearly 57,000 copies across streaming, downloads and physical sales. It comes a month after the album's lead single, Sign of the Times, ended Ed Sheeran's chart reign.

The Rugby Park side have targeted the former Motherwell, Preston, Derby and Nottingham Forest boss to replace Gary Locke, who resigned after Saturday's home defeat by Hamilton. Davies has been out of management since being sacked by Forest in March 2014. The 51-year-old's first game in charge could be the Scottish Cup tie with Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday. Kilmarnock, who are second bottom of the Scottish Premiership, have put Lee McCulloch in temporary charge. The former Rangers defender, who joined the Rugby Park club as a player and first-team coach in the summer, will be helped by assistant manager Peter Leven and youth coach Alan Robertson. The Ayrshire club have won only two of their last 13 Premiership matches - losing 5-1 to bottom club Dundee United and 1-0 to Hamilton in consecutive weeks - and have the threat of relegation hanging over them for the third successive season. They have escaped the previous two years, but would face a play-off against the runners-up from the Championship if their situation remains the same. The Kilmarnock board believe an experienced manager like Davies would enhance their chances of avoiding that possibility. Alongside tents and drinking water, RAF planes dropped more than 1,000 solar-powered lanterns attached to chargers for all types of mobile handsets to the stranded members of the Yazidi religious community below. It is the first time the lanterns have been airdropped in such a relief effort, but humanitarian workers say it is part of growing efforts to develop technology designed to make a difference in disaster zones. In 2010, Dr Paul Gardner-Stephen, a computer systems researcher at Flinders University in Australia, was driving to work in his car when he first heard radio reports of the devastation of the Haiti earthquake, more than 10,000 miles away. With roads blocked, infrastructure reduced to rubble and mobile networks down, he realised something needed to be done, and quickly. "You typically have about three days to restore the communications before the bad people realise the good people aren't in control any more," he says. His solution was to develop the technology that allows mobile phones to communicate directly with each other even where there is no network coverage, or when mobile masts have been knocked out of action - a system known as "mesh networking". His Serval Project work means users can send text messages, make calls and send files to other users nearby, creating a mobile network through a web of users. It is just one example of the dozens of technologies developed in the wake of Haiti to help relief efforts in disaster zones. "There's plenty of technology for rich white men," Dr Gardner-Stephen says. "It's the rest of the world that we need to help." Another project born out of the Haiti disaster was the Trilogy Emergency Relief Application (Tera), a mass text messaging programme now being rolled out by the Red Cross in 40 countries around the world. It allows aid workers to navigate a disaster-hit country from a computer screen, identify all the mobile phones being used in a given area, and blast them all with urgent 140-character updates with a click of a button. It was first developed in Haiti with the help of local mobile network operators, allowing messages with advice on water sanitation and medical aid to be distributed to millions of people across the Caribbean country. "I don't know of any other means of communication where you could reach that many people, that quickly and that directly," says Sharon Reader, a communications adviser for the International Red Cross currently working on setting up the Tera system in east Africa. "It's not like the radio when someone has to be switched on and listening. It's a buzz in their pocket and they're going to be able to see that information immediately." She says the sheer volume of mobile phones now sold in developing countries makes text messaging the ideal way to communicate. Global mobile subscriptions are expected to reach seven billion this year according to the UN, with developing countries in Africa and Asia seeing the fastest growth. The Tera project also allows disaster victims to send messages back to aid agencies, telling them where they are and what they most urgently need. That makes it similar to other recently developed applications designed to harvest the huge volumes of information generated in the immediate aftermath of a sudden-onset disaster, like a war or earthquake. The Ushahidi project was used in Haiti to crowd source information from the Haitain population, using social media sources like Twitter and Facebook alongside text messages, with information visualised on an online map for humanitarian agencies to use. Similar platforms became popular following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The Japanese are the third biggest users of Twitter in the world, and the network became a crucial communication method and information source, typically faster and more effective than mainstream media. Several similar projects are being developed, including those through the Digital Humanitarian Network and the Standby Taskforce - organisations that mobilise volunteers with expertise in monitoring social media, translating messages to and from local dialects, and creating crisis maps around disasters. Kim Scriven is the manager of the Humanitarian Innovation Fund, a government-backed agency set up in 2011 that supports innovative research in humanitarian aid. He says the trying to harvest and filter the vast amounts of data generated by a disaster or conflict is "the big nut that people are trying to crack", with the real challenge being to turn all of that data into information that humanitarian agencies can actually act on. "There are lots of people working on it, but in my view that hasn't happened yet," he says. Alongside the smaller start-ups typically supported by Mr Scriven's fund, the bigger technology players are beginning to show more interest in humanitarian applications for their technology. Google recently unveiled its drone programme, which it suggests could be used to airdrop aid into disaster zones. Last year, the search giant unveiled Project Loon - a plan to deliver internet connections to hard-to-reach places through a network of high-altitude balloons. Both are in the early stages of development. But aid workers say we are seeing a sea-change in the role of technology in humanitarian relief, and how it can empower those affected by the disaster they find themselves in. "[Disaster relief] is no longer about just dropping items on people and leaving them to it," says the Red Cross's Sharon Reader. "There has been a huge shift in the aid world in seeing people who are affected by a crisis not as victims but as people who have the capacity to look after themselves." Sergio Ramos' controversial finish put Zinedine Zidane's side ahead before Atletico striker Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty. However, substitute Yannick Carrasco sent the Champions League final into extra-time with a close-range finish. Cristiano Ronaldo struck the winning penalty after Juanfran had missed. In the shootout, Lucas Vazquez, Marcelo and Gareth Bale scored for Real, with Griezmann, Gabi and Saul Niguez replying to make it 3-3. After Ramos stepped up to make it 4-3, Juanfran hit the post, leaving Ronaldo with the chance to win the cup. The competition's all-time leading scorer kept his composure to win it - his third individual Champions League triumph following on his from his successes with Manchester United in 2008 and Real in 2014. Media playback is not supported on this device Zidane, a Champions League winner with Real as a player in 2002, replaced Rafael Benitez as manager at the Bernabeu in January, with Real still reeling from a bruising 4-0 hammering by Barcelona earlier in the season and facing the prospect of a second successive campaign without major silverware. The 43-year-old finishes it as the seventh different manager to deliver a European Cup to Real. As stylish as his side were going forward, they were just as impressive at the back as Atletico's attacking duo of Griezmann and Fernando Torres were starved of service before the interval. Bale and Ronaldo repeatedly dropped back into midfield to help cut out the supply routes to Griezmann and Torres, while Karim Benzema also typified Real's work rate by doing his defensive duties. Atletico were the better side after the break yet fortune was on Real's side as Pepe's rash challenge on Torres went unpunished and Stefan Savic stabbed another golden chance wide. Bale was excellent as Real dominated the first half - powerful going forward and quick to help out at the back when required. The Wales international was a danger at set pieces while he was heavily involved as his side took the lead. Despite having an effort cleared off the line, Bale faded after the break and he spent most of extra-time limping around the pitch with cramp, unsurprising considering his work rate. Yet he still put himself forward for the decisive shootout - and scored with a cool, low finish to help his team to a famous win. Three weeks ago, Atletico were on course for a La Liga and Champions League double, yet Diego Simeone's side end the season without a trophy after the most heartbreaking of defeats. Having finished three points behind champions Barcelona in Spain, they are left to reflect on what might have been despite an impressive second-half performance at the San Siro. Griezmann became more dangerous but his missed penalty proved crucial, even though Carrasco later levelled after Juanfran's brilliant volleyed cross. It is the third time Atletico have reached the final and failed to win yet the future remains bright, with Simeone likely to remain in charge next season despite earlier reported interest from Premier League clubs. His task this summer will be keeping his assets, with Griezmann and midfielder Saul having been linked with moves to Chelsea and Manchester United respectively. England's Mark Clattenburg had his work cut out as he refereed a tempestuous derby, which saw eight bookings. Real defender Pepe was at his theatrical best from the start as he tried to influence the Premier League official, who also had to calm down Simeone after Dani Carvajal's early foul on Griezmann. Ramos put Real ahead from what looked like an offside position but Clattenburg's assistant kept his flag down. However the 41-year-old from County Durham, who will be officiating at Euro 2016, was right to award the penalty which saw Griezmann hit the underside of the bar in the 47th minute. Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane: "I've got a phenomenal squad who have fought and worked incredibly hard. "We went into the game in good shape. Towards the end we suffered physically. The players had cramps but that's normal. Mentally, there's a lot of pressure. You have to fight and we've got there by working hard. "Yes, I've dreamed about this. I'm positive. The president has given me the opportunity to coach this great club. "I've got a phenomenal squad who have fought and worked incredibly hard. Having players with this kind of talent, you can achieve something great." Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone: "You do your best, you try to do what you can, you get to two finals and you lose them both. "One you lose 4-1, even though it was 2-1 for a long time, the other you lose on penalties. "This cycle for me at Atletico, two finals in three years is, actually a marvellous achievement, but I am not happy with what I have achieved." Match ends, Real Madrid 1(5), Atlético de Madrid 1(3).

But despite being born with Erb's palsy, a condition which affects the main nerves in the upper arm, the 25-year-old has racked up a record of 14 wins and only one loss in 15 professional fights to date. His success has earned him a fight for unbeaten Jack Catterall's WBO intercontinental super-lightweight title on Friday. "When I was born, my shoulder was stuck on my mum's hip, and the midwife just pulled me out by my head as hard as she could," the reigning English champion told BBC Wiltshire. "As she did, my shoulder was dislocated and there was a lot of nerve and muscle damage to my right shoulder and due to that it hasn't grown properly. "It's about three inches shorter than my left arm and it's quite a bit weaker. The muscles in it become very very tight, but I just try not to let it hold me back and keep working hard with it." Hughes turned professional in 2010 after 70 fights in the amateur ranks, but his reasons for first getting in the ring as a child had little to do with dreams of forging a career in the sport. "I did taekwondo when I was about five years old, and my dad took me along because it was sort of an exercise for the shoulder," Hughes said. "Since I was born I had to do physiotherapy on it and obviously when you're a child you don't want to do those standard exercises, it's boring for a child. "Then at about eight years old my dad took me along to the local boxing gym, Malmesbury Amateur Boxing Club, for the same reason, tricking me really into exercising it. "I had my whole amateur career at Malmesbury and haven't looked back since. And it's my job now, so quite a funny profession for someone with my condition." While taking Catterall's belt is his current goal, the Bristol-based boxer admitted he is also motivated by the desire to silence people who doubt his ability to compete. "When I was born they told me I'd never be able to run in a straight line - I don't know why they said that, but that's what my parents were told - I'd never be able to have a manual job, I'd have to sit at a desk all my life, never be able to play contact sports," he said. "When I first started boxing I just wanted to have a bout so just doing that was an achievement and that was proving people wrong. "Most people would think you've got Erb's palsy, there's no way you can possibly be successful in a sport such as boxing and I just want to prove that yes, you can. "As long as you're willing to put the work in, you can definitely achieve it." Hughes goes into Friday's fight knowing that few are backing him to beat Lancashire's Catterall, who is ranked number four in the world by the WBO and will have a partisan Manchester crowd behind him. "I've always been the underdog really, with my shoulder and everything, I'm going to every fight with a disadvantage and as an underdog, and I relish it," he said. "I'm fighting in his backyard, and because it's so far I don't have a massive following that can travel up there - one of my friends can't come cause he can't get anyone to cover milking the cows at the farm. "Jack's number one in Britain and all that, but if I beat him I become number one. That's what I'm aiming for. "I know it's a very big challenge and he's a very good kid, but I believe that I can beat him." Sharon May, 46, who taught at Irlam and Cadishead College, spent the money on gift vouchers "for her own purposes", a panel found. She admitted three counts of fraud at Manchester Crown Court last March and was given a suspended sentence. A professional conduct panel said the case amounted to "serious dishonesty". The National College for Teaching and Leadership professional conduct panel concluded May's actions had "deprived vulnerable pupils of public monies that had been allocated to enhance their educational needs". May, who was also a special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCo), had failed to show respect for the rights of those pupils and abused her position of trust, the panel added. In October 2014, concerns were raised about the possible misuse of a grant that was given to the college to transform the way mental health support was given to children. Funds taken from this and 1-2-1 Tuition budgets had been used to buy Trafford Centre vouchers, restaurant vouchers and vouchers for Center Parcs. In Nov 2014, May then provided information to the local authority about this spending which was "false or misleading", the panel said. She resigned on 27 February 2015. In March last year, May admitted three counts of fraud, between 1 May 2010 and 3 December 2014, at Manchester Crown Court. She was given a two-year suspended sentence and was ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work. In December last year, the panel found a prohibition order was "both proportionate and appropriate". It said that a review period "would not be appropriate" because May had been "responsible for dishonesty committed over several years, involving a very significant amount of public money allocated for the education of vulnerable pupils". The 46-year-old was prohibited from teaching indefinitely. Cyclone Mora is likely to hit the eastern coast early on Tuesday, the meteorological department said. Port cities in the south-east have been asked to display the highest warning system known as "great danger level 10". Ports further west are on level 8. The cyclone formed after heavy rains in Sri Lanka caused floods and landslides that killed at least 180 people. The worst flooding in 14 years on the island has affected the lives of more than half a million people. More than 100 people remain missing. In Bangladesh, people in Chittagong district have been flocking to nearly 500 cyclone shelters as warnings were announced on loudspeakers. Schools and government offices are being used to shelter people, and residents of hilly areas are also being urged to evacuate. Bangladesh profile Flood-hit Sri Lankans fear more rain Low-lying areas of Cox's Bazar, Chittagong and many other coastal districts are "likely to be inundated" by a storm surge of 1.2m-1.5m (4-5 feet) above normal levels, the meteorological department warned. "We are targeting zero casualties and we will try our best to evacuate more than a million before the landfall," disaster management authority spokesman Abul Hashim told the AFP news agency. He said nearly 300,000 people had already been moved to cyclone shelters. Though Bangladesh is used to cyclones, many people don't live in dwellings sturdy enough to withstand bad weather, the BBC's South Asia editor Charles Haviland says. Their lives, and the crops on which so many of them depend, he says, are constantly at risk when cyclones hit. Fishing boat and trawlers have been advised to remain in port, and coastal ferries have suspended operations Bangladesh is yet to fully recover from flash floods in the north-east of the country in April that destroyed rice crops and pushed rice prices to record highs. Heavy rains are also expected in parts of north-eastern India due to Cyclone Mora. But in truth, you are probably manipulated into doing so by publishers using clever machine learning algorithms. The online battle for eyeballs has gone hi-tech. Every day the web carries about 500 million tweets, 300 hours of YouTube video uploads, and more than 80 million new Instagram photos. Just keeping up with our friends' Facebook and Twitter updates can seem like a full-time job. So publishers desperately trying to get us to read and watch their stuff in the face of competition from viral videos and pictures of cats that look like Hitler are enlisting the help of data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). But do these technologies actually work? Recent start-up Echobox has developed a system it says takes the human guesswork out of the mix. By analysing large amounts of data, it learns how specific audiences respond to different articles at different times of the day. It then selects the best stories to post and the best times to post them. Echobox claims its system generates an average 71% gain in referral traffic from Facebook and a 142% increase from Twitter. The software is already being used by publishers such as Vogue, Le Figaro and Telegraph Media Group. "Imagine a superhuman editor with an incredibly deep understanding of its audience, but 100 times faster," says Antoine Amann, Echobox founder and chief executive. "The data we use is both historical and real-time. For instance, our system will have a strong understanding of what type of [publishing] times worked well in the past, whilst at the same time analysing what's currently trending on the web." Anne Pican, digital publisher at French daily newspaper Le Figaro, one of the firm's clients, says they have already seen benefits. "Social media optimisation has been a major headache," she says. "Not only is it extremely complex but it's a lot of guesswork and requires a more scientific approach. "Since using Echobox we've seen a major upswing in our traffic and saved valuable time." Traditional newspapers facing dwindling print circulations are particularly keen to attract new digital audiences. The New York Times (NYT), for example, has built Blossom, an intelligent "bot" constructed inside the messaging app Slack. It uses machine learning to predict how blog posts and articles will perform on social media. It can also tell editors which ones to promote. If a journalist sends Blossom a direct message, such as "Blossom Facebook?", the bot will respond with a list of links to stories it believes will do well on the social media platform at that time. According to its developers, Blossom posts get about 380% more clicks than ones it doesn't recommend. What this type of historical and real-time analysis shows is that certain headlines, photos and topics attract more attention than others on different devices at different times of the day with different audiences. Predicting this without the help of machine learning computers is very tricky. Programs such as Chartbeat and Echobox also give publishers the ability to test different headlines and promotional tweets for the same story in real time. And programs like SocialFlow - used by some sections of the BBC website - apply algorithms to try to anticipate when the social media audience will be most receptive to an update. It can then automatically post the message at the "optimum" time, measure how many people look at the post, and crucially, how many bother to click through to the original article. But does using data analytics to learn about reader and viewer behaviour, then make publishing decisions based on that analysis, really count as AI? The NYT is staying tight-lipped about the exact workings of the bot, citing intellectual property reasons, but Colin Russel, a senior data scientist at the newspaper and Blossom's main designer, says: "We do characterise it as AI. "We're emulating what a team of editors would do if they had the time enough and a whiteboard big enough to observe and enumerate all the stories, all their history of posting, and all possible places they could be posted. "It's definitely an artificial intelligence." Echobox also describes its service as "artificial intelligence meets online publishing". But Tom Cheesewright, a futurist and head of consultancy firm Book of the Future, describes such tech as "more of a tool than an intelligence". "I'd argue this is probably the very outer edges of what might be called AI. Here, a more prosaic term like machine learning or predictive analytics might be more appropriate." Semantics aside, Richard Reeves, managing director at the Association of Online Publishers, believes this kind of tech could have a positive impact on the industry. "Publishers are faced with the dual challenge of increased competition for user attention and a diminishing pool of resources. "This makes it essential for publishers not only to make the most of their archived content, but also to deliver targeted content that aligns with user needs. "Thanks to recent developments in AI, publishers are starting to achieve this balance by using advanced new tools." If you feel there's just too much content to choose from, you could let others do the choosing for you. For example, German publishing group Axel Springer and tech giant Samsung have joined forces to develop the Upday mobile news app. New users specify what kind of topics they like, then a team of human editors, backed up by computer algorithms, curates content from 1,200 different sources, including Le Figaro, Der Spiegel and The Economist. And Japanese tech firm SmartNews aggregates stories from 1,500 publications, highlighting those that are being most widely read and shared by others - crowdsourced news as it were. One solution, of course, is simply to switch off all your gadgets and read a good book.

One of the five, Lam Wing-kee, now back in Hong Kong, says he considered ending his life while he was detained. Many believe the booksellers were detained because they sold gossipy books about China's leaders. One of the men, Gui Minhai, is still in custody. 1. Lui Bo, general manager.

His comments reflect the fact that the Hong Kong authorities were not initially informed of the booksellers' arrest and detention. Mr Lam was arrested while visiting the Chinese city of Shenzhen in October last year. He says he was taken, blindfolded, to the eastern city of Ningbo, where he was held until March. In March, when three of his colleagues were released and returned to Hong Kong, Mr Lam was transferred to a room in the city of Shaoguan in Guangdong province, where he said he enjoyed more freedom. He returned to Hong Kong last week, and he claims the Chinese authorities were expecting him to return to China with details of his customers, something he does not now plan to do. Gone are the steady jobs and home ownership of yore. Gone too is married life - more 18-34 year-olds live with their parents than with a spouse. The US Census Bureau report found that the extent to which young people reached milestones like living alone was "tied to economic security". But some of their expectations of what it means to be an adult have changed. In these hard economic times, then, about a third of millennials still live at home with their parents. Last year, research found it was the most common living arrangement for young adults - for the first time in 130 years. There are 24 million 18-34-year-olds, among whom there are more men than women. And of them, 2.2. million are not studying or working. Some of those who stay at home have disabilities or poor health, but it seems many are just priced out of moving out. Weirdly, though, this study counts college dorms as being "at home". Maybe because they think it's parents who pay for that? The study compared the 18-34 year old age group with young adults in 1975, their parents' generation. So what's changed between then and now? A few things: Back then, eight in 10 people were married by 30. Now, young people wait longer. By the age of 45, eight in 10 are married too. Maybe it's because they don't see family as a marker of adulthood in the way their parents might have done; more than half of young Americans today say marrying and having children are not very important for becoming an adult. The state where young people were most likely to be living in their own household was North Dakota, where 60% of young people were living alone or with a partner or spouse. Millennials these days believe in getting a good education. More than 60% said finishing school was very important for becoming an adult. More women work outside the home nowadays - it's one of the biggest changes highlighted in the report. Only 14% of 25-34 year-old women are homemakers now, compared to 43% in 1975. This change drove an overall boost; young people today are more likely to be employed year-round than their parents were at the same age. Only a quarter of men had low incomes in 1975 (annual salaries of less than $30,000 - £23,500 - in 2015 money). But by 2015, that had risen to 41%. The study's authors said men were "falling behind" and, compared to 1975, were "more likely to be absent from the work force and a far higher share today are at the bottom of the income ladder. It's worth bearing in mind though, that young men's median income is still $11,000 (£8,500) a year higher than women's. Good question. This study says it counts "people born between 1982 and 1998, which roughly corresponds to the millennial generation". A guide to the generation was published for MPs in the UK last week, and it called them people who "would have experienced at least some, if not all, of their teenage years and early adulthood in the 21st Century". The pair were close to agreeing a bout for 10 December but Klitschko has picked up a "minor injury" in training. The WBA had also yet to state whether its vacant title would be on the line. "While waiting on the WBA and with Klitschko's injury, it was a non-starter," said Hearn. "Let's get this over the line for March or April." Hearn has reiterated that Joshua will compete in Manchester on 10 December but expects an official announcement on a 2017 meeting with Ukrainian Klitschko later this week. He added: "We will announce that fight for the spring and give it the build-up it deserves - probably take it to a stadium as well. I'm certain it will happen in the spring. "We are in talks with the Millennium Stadium [now the Principality Stadium] about their dates in March and April - it has a roof and it can be a bit nippy in London in March or April." British heavyweight Tyson Fury has vacated the WBA and WBO titles and had his boxing licence stripped by the British Boxing Board of Control "pending further investigation into anti-doping and medical issues". Hearn is hopeful the WBA will make its title available for the proposed meeting of Joshua and Klitschko. New Zealander Joseph Parker is set to fight Mexico's Andy Ruiz Jr for the WBO belt on 10 December. Klitschko, who has 64 wins and four losses in his career, lost the WBA, WBO and IBF titles to Fury in 2015. Joshua picked up the IBF title - vacated by Fury as he did not face a mandatory challenger - by knocking out Charles Martin in April. Hearn expects Joshua's camp to decide on his next opponent in the next 48 hours. Last week, 2008 Olympic bronze medallist and former British champion David Price tweeted Joshua stating "I'm coming to knock you out on December 10". Alt-pop artist FKA Twigs won best single (Pendulum) and best album (LP1), both of which she co-produced. Catherine Marks was named breakthrough producer of the year for her work on Wolf Alice's Mercury-nominated album My Love Is Cool. Sylvia Massy, whose credits include REM and Prince, won an inspiration award. The US producer, who has 25 gold and platinum albums to her name, was also honoured for her efforts to preserve and promote vintage recording equipment, and for her work as a writer, artist and educator. Figures compiled in 2010 suggested less than 5% of record producers were female, although the figure is thought to have risen as technology allowed music to be created at home studios or on laptops. "The diversity of talent winning MPG Awards this year is truly outstanding and we are proud to be reflecting the ever rising number of women in the top tier of music making," said MPG award director Tony Platt. Elsewhere, the awards honoured Swedish pop svengali Max Martin, whose recent hits include Ellie Goulding's Love Me Like You Do, The Weeknd's Can't Feel My Face and large swathes of Taylor Swift's global smash album 1989. He was named best international producer, while Olga Fitzroy, who works closely with Coldplay, was named recording engineer of the year. Charlie Andrew won the top honour - producer of the year - recognising his contribution to albums by Alt-J, Sivu and Marika Hackman in 2015. The award means he automatically received the 2016 Brit Award for best producer, which was presented at the same time. The lifetime achievement prize went to Youth, who sat behind the mixing desk on classic albums like The Verve's Urban Hymns, James's Seven and Together Alone by Crowded House. The musician, whose real name is Martin Glover, is also the bassist in Killing Joke and has recorded three experimental electronic albums with Sir Paul McCartney under the name The Fireman. He was presented his award by The Verve's Richard Ashcroft; and they went on to play Bittersweet Symphony, accompanied by David Gilmour, Jah Wobble and Sex Pistols drummer Mark Cook. Finally, Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick won the MPG Award for innovation. The programme has already landed one positive test, from Jamie Insall, on loan at East Fife from Hibernian. The case is being processed by UK Anti-Doping and could result in a ban. A BBC Scotland report in February revealed a lack of testing within Scottish football, which drew criticism from the World Anti-Doping Agency. Ukad provides no funding for testing in Scottish football, but since the governing body began allocating its own funds, 64 tests have been carried out over 16 matches. Those began in March, with Insall testing positive after a League One game against Livingston on 11 March. The SFA has deliberately tested across all four divisions in the Scottish Professional Football League, rather than concentrating on the top two leagues as was previously the case when Ukad funded testing in Scotland. Ukad is not expected to provide "public interest funding" to the SFA for the foreseeable future, which means Scottish football's governing body will continue to have to finance testing if it wants to maintain current levels. That funding is in place for at least the remainder of 2017. Cancer Research UK statistics show more than 13,000 people develop malignant melanoma each year, compared with around 1,800 in the mid-1970s. It says the rise is partly due to rising popularity of package holidays to Europe from the late 1960s. Sunbed use has also fuelled the increase, the charity has said. Malignant melanoma is now the fifth most common cancer, with more than 2,000 dying from it each year. Around 17 people in every 100,000 are diagnosed with the disease in Great Britain every year - compared with three per 100,000 in the mid 1970s. Mark Birnie, 48, from Chesterfield, was originally told a mole on his shoulder was a cyst. However, in February 2013 it was diagnosed as a malignant melanoma. "The mole had been checked for at least 12 months. As it got larger it was deemed to be a cyst and would be cosmetic to remove. "In January last year we insisted I be referred to a dermatologist consultant, he removed it and checked it and confirmed it was malignant. "Full scans then confirmed it had spread to lymph nodes in my arm pit." He said he had more tissue removed followed by radiation treatment and then quarterly skin check ups. "In February this year I had confirmation that I had three cancerous brain tumours which had spread from the original melanoma." He said six weeks on from having surgery to remove two of the tumours and treatment on the remaining one, he was at home recuperating. Those with the highest risk of the disease include people with pale skin, lots of moles or freckles, a history of sunburn or a family history of the disease. Experts advise spending time in the shade, covering up and using at least an SPF15 sunscreen. Nick Ormiston-Smith, head of statistics at Cancer Research UK, said: "Since the mid-1970s, malignant melanoma incidence rates in the UK have increased more rapidly than for any of today's 10 most common cancers. "Holidays in hot climates have become more affordable and sunbeds are more widely available since the 1970s. "But we know overexposure to UV rays from the sun or sunbeds is the main cause of skin cancer. "This means, in many cases, the disease can be prevented, and is why it's essential to get into good sun safety habits, whether at home or abroad." However, eight in 10 people survive the disease, among the highest rate for any cancer. Mark Birnie, 48, from Chesterfield, recently underwent surgery to remove three cancerous brain tumours. He told the BBC he had a mole on his shoulder repeatedly checked for around a year, but was told it was a cyst. The mole was later diagnosed as a malignant melanoma by a dermatologist consultant, which then spread to the lymph nodes in his arm pit and to his brain. "My mole bore no resemblance to the pictures that you see in the doctors' surgery or online," he said. Source: Cancer Research UK "Any mole that grows, you need to get it checked out." Caroline Cerny, senior health campaigns manager at Cancer Research, said: "Everyone loves getting out and about and enjoying the summer sun. It's essential to take care not to burn - sunburn is a clear sign that the DNA in your skin cells has been damaged and, over time, this can lead to skin cancer. "When the sun is strong, pop on a T-shirt, spend some time in the shade and use a sunscreen with at least SPF15 and good UVA protection." Witnesses saw flames leap up to 200ft (60m) in the air and said the front of the building, in Oldham, had collapsed. About 100 nearby homes were evacuated as up to 80 firefighters tackled the fire, which broke out at 04:15 GMT. Hundreds are unable to return home since the fire is "still alight" and the mill "structurally unstable". Earlier, it took fire crews nearly seven hours to bring the flames under control with the heat from it being felt 1,640ft (500m) away. Witnesses saw flames leap up to 200ft (60m) in the air and said the front of the building had collapsed. Eyewitness Sarah Jones told the BBC: "I was woken by two loud bangs that I thought were gunshots but they were explosions." Firefighters initially tackling the fire - which started on the top floor of the mill - were forced to withdraw as part of the building on Cardwell Street collapsed. A GMFRS spokeswoman said that while it remains their "number one priority" to allow nearby residents to return home, they cannot do so while the area remains so dangerous. Local residents had suggested homeless people have been seen using the mill for shelter in recent days. But Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said there was "nothing to suggest" anyone was caught up in the blaze. An emergency "rest centre" has been set up in the nearby Honeywell Centre for those forced out of their homes. As of 17:00 GMT, 70 firefighters and 14 engines remained at the scene along with Greater Manchester Police and Oldham Council officials. GMFRS said it managed to stop the flames causing electricity blackouts to 2,500 homes and averted gas explosions. Gas, propane and oxygen cylinders were covered with water to prevent them exploding and an electricity sub-station was found in the mill's courtyard. Area manager Warren Pickstone said: "If that would've gone down, approximately 2,500 properties would have lost their electricity. "We made sure that we kept that at bay." The BBC has learnt the former textile mill is owned by kitchen businessman Vance Miller, who was the subject of a failed Trading Standards prosecution in 2010. The site has previously been damaged by fires. In 2009 nearby homes had to be evacuated following an explosion and there was another blaze at the building three months ago. In November, two homeless men died in a blaze in a derelict building in Manchester's Chinatown. The deaths of Wayne Bardsley, 51, and James Evans, 57, are being treated as murder by Greater Manchester Police. Aston Villa v Everton Bournemouth v Southampton Leicester City v West Bromwich Albion Norwich City v Chelsea Sunderland v Crystal Palace UK and Wales Green Party leaders Natalie Bennett and Pippa Bartolotti joined about 200 people on the march from the Guildhall at 12.30 BST. It was organised by The People's Assembly - a group opposing public sector spending cuts by the UK government. Campaigners, including Plaid Cymru AM Bethan Jenkins, ended the march with a rally in Castle Gardens. Pacheco, 17, has made three appearances this season for Liverpool, who are fifth in the WSL One table. Doncaster are currently bottom of the league, having failed to pick up a point from their opening four games.

Campaigners have also organised a Save Our Swimming gala taking place later at the Fairfax Street sport centre - home to the Olympic-size pool. Coventry City Council is proposing closing it and building a new leisure centre with a 25m pool and water park. The authority said it was currently reviewing the responses from a public consultation into its plans. Jo Deakin, from Coventry Swimming Club, said the gala was being staged to show the council the benefits of having a 50m pool in the city. She said: "We are aware of the economics of the situation and that the centre can't go on as it currently is but we want to show this pool is needed not just for us as a club but for the whole city. "We're not anti-water park but we're saying to the council it shouldn't be instead of an Olympic-sized pool, it should be there to complement it." A spokesman for the council said: "We are working through the responses to our consultation and carrying out feasibility studies on various options. "One of those studies is whether it is possible to have a 50m pool at the new proposed site."

More than 6,000 people have signed a petition to save the only 50m swimming pool in the Midlands.

The giant aircraft carrier was released from a dry dock at about 03:00 on Thursday. The ship is the largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy and was formally named by the Queen in a ceremony earlier this month. It will remain in Rosyth until it is handed over to the Ministry of Defence in 2016 ahead of being put into service in 2020. Six shipyards from across the UK and more than 10,000 people were involved in building parts of the vessel. The estimated cost of the ship and its sister ship, the HMS Prince of Wales. is £6.2bn, well over the initial projected cost of £3.65bn. The warship is as long as 25 buses and can carry 40 jets and helicopters at a time. It will have a permanent crew of almost 1,600. Once the carrier has been fitted out with equipment, it will make way for the assembly of its sister ship which is set to start later this year at Rosyth.

HMS Queen Elizabeth has been floated for the first time at docks in Rosyth.

Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire made the comment in the House of Commons on Tuesday. However, Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill said the only option he was entitled to take was "to call an election". "Direct rule is not an option," she said, adding that such a move would amount to "an act of bad faith". Speaking at Westminster, Mr Brokenshire said in the absence of a devolved assembly, it was up to the government to provide "political stability". However, he added that the government "did not want to see a return to direct rule". On Monday, the secretary of state said there was a short window of opportunity for the talks. He removed the prospect of a second snap election within weeks and told reporters that there was no appetite for another contest. Mr Brokenshire told Westminster that he would bring legislation to the House of Commons after the Easter recess - on 18 April - depending on the outcome of the talks. If they are successful, he said he would push forward laws to allow an assembly to be formed. However, if they fail, he said he would "at a minimum" bring forward legislation to "set a regional rate to enable local councils to carry out their functions and to provide further assurance around the budget of Northern Ireland". In response, Sinn Féin's northern leader Michelle O'Neill said: "There is only one option which the British secretary of state is entitled to take and that is to call an election." She added: "There is no legal basis for any other course of action. And while parties may, or may not, want an election the fact is if the British secretary of state brings in new legislation to restore direct rule that will be an act of bad faith and a clear breach of an agreement between the Irish and British governments in 2006." The talks collapsed on Sunday ahead of Monday's 16:00 BST deadline. Issues like the Irish language and the legacy of the Troubles are the main sticking points. In a memo to all his staff, the head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service Sir Malcolm McKibbin has promised to try to maintain a "business as usual" approach during what he describes as "this time of uncertainty". Sir Malcolm confirmed the civil servants would use the limited powers open to them to keep funds flowing in order to carry out the essential work of delivering public services. But he added that these powers were no substitute for a regular budget agreed by executive ministers. The two biggest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin, blamed each other for the breakdown in talks. The political deadlock came after a snap election on 2 March brought an end to Stormont's unionist majority and the DUP's lead over Sinn Féin was cut from 10 seats to one. Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing agreement, the executive must be jointly run by unionists and nationalists, with the largest party putting forward a candidate for first minister. Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness quit as deputy first minister in January in protest against the DUP's handling of a botched green energy scheme. The party said it would not share power with DUP leader Arlene Foster as first minister until the conclusion of a public inquiry into the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. Mr McGuinness, who had been suffering from a rare heart condition, died last week at the age of 66.

The UK government will "consider all options" after Easter, including direct rule, if talks to form a Northern Ireland Executive fail.

The 26-year-old Corinthians player has now moved to Chelsea on loan until the end of the season - aiming to rise again. Blues interim manager Guus Hiddink insists the move is not a "gamble". Here, BBC Sport analyses whether the Dutchman is right. Rumours were rife at the beginning of the 2008-09 season that Chelsea's new Brazilian manager Luiz Felipe Scolari was doing everything in his power to convince an 18-year-old Pato to join him in west London. The World Cup-winning coach had witnessed the teenager's breakthrough in his homeland with Internacional, his goalscoring debut for Brazil, a one-in-two goal record during his first Serie A season and a call up to the squad for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. 'Big Phil' was sure Pato would be an instant success at Stamford Bridge. The only fly in the ointment? AC Milan were not prepared to sell a striker set to dominate Europe's scoring charts for the next decade and beyond. With hindsight, the Rossoneri would regret not cashing in as they had done with Ukraine legend Andriy Shevchenko two years previously, as Pato's promising career stalled dramatically at the San Siro. Pato was named Serie A Young Player of the Year at the end of the 2008-09 season after ending the campaign as AC Milan's leading scorer. However, during the following season and while still a teenager, his body began showing the strain. A series of muscle injuries, including pulled hamstrings, cost him a place in the Brazil squad for the 2010 World Cup - although admittedly the exclusion of Neymar - then at Santos - was the bigger story. Even the Rossoneri's famed Milan Lab struggled to get Pato fit for any length of time and when an £11.5m bid came in from Corinthians the Italian outfit decided to cut their losses. The Sao Paulo club that gave the world Rivellino - who starred for Brazil on their way to World Cup glory in 1970 - was on a high after winning their first Copa Libertadores title in 2012 and following it up by beating Chelsea in the Club World Cup later that year. Pato joined Corinthians in January 2013, but was out the door again within 12 months. His nadir being a failed panenka penalty (a slow chip down the centre of the goal) in a Copa do Brasil tie against Gremio, the fierce rivals of Pato's first club Internacional, that was saved by Dida, his former AC Milan team-mate. Pato has spent the last two years on loan across the city at Sao Paulo FC, the initial deal taking the attacking midfielder Jadson, now in China with Tianjin Quanjian, in the opposite direction. While the strike rate has dropped to a goal every three games, Pato has been able to avoid any serious setbacks with injuries during his time with the Tricolor. The price tag - a joint record fee for a Brazilian club along with the £11.5m paid to Boca Juniors, also by Corinthians, for Carlos Tevez in 2005 - was continually used to undermine Pato's efforts in his homeland. Undoubtedly the Brazilian has lost some of his pace after his time on the treatment table and the fear factor for opposition defenders has waned, but a new-found mental resilience has kept Pato amongst the goals. Even with partisan crowds forever on his back, the forward refused to shirk responsibility and was always looking to get a shot away. Sao Paulo FC tried to make Pato's move to their Morumbi stadium permanent but Corinthians were keen to recoup more of the £11.5m they paid for the player than their neighbours were willing to offer. Chinese outfit Tianjin Quanjian met Corinthians' valuation and offered the player a salary in the region of £10m a year. Pato refused the move, much to the chagrin of the Corinthians board, but has since signed a contract extension with the Brazilian club. The hope on both sides is that following a successful six-month stint with Chelsea a permanent move will be forthcoming that not only suits Corinthians but also the player's ambitions. The 26-year-old believes he has unfinished business in Europe and Chelsea welcome a striker out to prove a point. Pato has received criticism in Brazil for not capitalising on his talents and not showing enough passion on the pitch. For example, the traits his Chelsea team-mate Diego Costa demonstrates when tangling with opponents are lauded throughout South America. Pato is a different animal, but the goal remains the same - prove the doubters wrong by sticking the ball in the back of the net again and again.

They have arrested three men in connection with her death - a minibus driver, his father and a friend. The Turkish president and prime minister called Ms Aslan's family to offer their condolences. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu promised the family to hunt those responsible for the crime and punish them. Ms Aslan, a psychology student, was kidnapped on Wednesday on her way home. The driver allegedly tried to rape her. She reportedly fought him off with pepper spray, but was then stabbed to death. She was also hit on the head with an iron pipe. The brutality of the murder caused an outcry across Turkey. Thousands of women staged protests in several cities on Saturday, including Ankara, Istanbul, and Mersin - Ms Aslan's hometown in southern Turkey. In Istanbul, women activists held two separate protests to show their anger at the murder. During the day, hundreds gathered behind a banner that read "Enough, we will stop the murder of women!" In the evening, the crowd got bigger. Thousands of women of all ages and walks of life poured out to the streets. A young woman, Bulay Dogan, said Ms Aslan's murder scared her. "I'm afraid, because the same thing could happen to me or my friends. But on the other hand, I'm furious too. How can they [the murder suspects] be so reckless to do something like this?" she asked. Also on the protests was a gender studies academic who would only give her first name, Zeynep. She thought Ms Aslan's murder was of a political nature too. "It is the result of the radical Islamic atmosphere created by the government. The men say that women should be conservative. They think if they are not conservative, they deserve this kind of violence," she said. The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has its roots in political Islam and has been in power since 2002. Women's rights organisations say violence against women has risen sharply in the last decade. Last year alone, almost 300 women were killed at the hands of men and more than 100 were raped, according to local reports. Sevda Bayramoglu from Women for Peace Initiative demanded new legislation to protect women from violence. "Men kill and rape and torture women. The state, the 'men's state', is protecting them. We expect the parliament to stop this violence," she said. Ms Aslan's murder may become a rallying cause for activists seeking to end violence against women in Turkey. Login details for social media accounts could be seen behind a journalist interviewed on France 2. It comes after hackers claiming to represent jihadist group Islamic State (IS) took TV5Monde off air. The Paris-based channel told the BBC the visible data was a one-off mistake and was not linked to the attack. Its TV station, website and social media accounts were all hit on Wednesday night. Prime Minister Manuel Valls condemned what he called an "unacceptable attack on freedom of information". Journalist David Delos was speaking on camera of the "frustration" felt in the newsroom on Thursday when passwords for accounts on Twitter and Instagram could be seen on a dividing screen in the background. Most were too blurry to be distinguished with the naked eye, but social media users claimed to have been able to decipher YouTube login details. Footage broadcast on BFMTV also appeared to show a password written on yellow post-it notes and stuck on computer monitors. A spokeswoman for TV5Monde said passwords were not normally left around in such a way, and the error made in the interview was an isolated case. Prosecutors have opened an investigation into the cyber-attack, which French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said was likely to have been a "terrorist act". A message posted by the hackers on TV5Monde's Facebook site read: "The CyberCaliphate continues its cyberjihad against the enemies of Islamic State." They replaced TV5Monde's social media profile pictures with a masked Islamist fighter. Mr Cazeneuve promised the government would do "everything to catch those who tried to attack the heart of the French Republic". The head of TV5, Yves Bigot, said on Thursday it was not clear whether the hackers had targeted the channel specifically, or used it as a messenger. "Obviously what they were doing is threatening the French government, the French military and the French policy in the Middle East." France is part of the US-led coalition carrying out air strikes against IS in Iraq and Syria. The channel has not commented on the latest apparent security breach. TV5Monde regained control over most of its sites about two hours after the attack began on Wednesday and full services were restored by Thursday evening. Aung Kyaw Naing, a freelance journalist, was killed in October after being detained by the military near the border with Thailand. The report by the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission listed multiple injuries to his body. But it made no judgement on how he was killed. Aung Kyaw Naing was shot dead on 4 October after being arrested reporting on clashes between the military and an ethnic rebel group. The army said he was working for the rebels and that they had shot him when he tried to escape. In November, his body was exhumed and sent for a post-mortem examination after his family raised questions over how he died and why he was then buried so quickly. According to the investigation, he had a cracked skull, a broken arm and ribs and was hit by five bullets including one from a shot from beneath his jaw, reports the BBC's Jonah Fisher from Yangon. His wife says she believes he was tortured - but this report stops short of that conclusion. Instead it recommends the case be taken to a civilian court for the sake of greater transparency, our correspondent adds. Aung Kyaw Naing had often reported on ethnic issues along the Myanmar-Thai border for local newspapers, and had met opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi several times. The circumstances of his death provoked international concern, with the US calling on Myanmar (also known as Burma) to conduct a "credible and transparent investigation". The figure has been revealed as the county council conducts a review of how it has been dealing with the issue. The authority said partnerships are working well but improvement is needed around the best way to respond once potential victims are identified. Last month, neighbouring council Stoke-on-Trent said 27 youngsters were targeted in 2013 and 78 were at risk. The review has been requested by Staffordshire County Council's Safe and Strong Communities Select Committee. It is an annual update on progress made tackling child sexual exploitation, trafficking and is also in response to the recent Rotherham child abuse scandal where at least 1,400 children were subjected to appalling sexual exploitation. The review said council-run Families First has been carrying out an an independent audit of children recognised in September 2014 as having been previously or currently at risk of sexual exploitation. The children are known to local support teams and safeguarding units. "This audit is nearly complete and early findings indicate that work at the early stage of cases between partner agencies is good. Forty-three children have been identified as currently at risk of child sexual exploitation," the report said. The select committee will receive a full update on the review on 15 December. Chairman John Francis, said: "Since 2011 the council and its partners have done a great deal to understand and combat child sexual exploitation. "However no-one is complacent about this abhorrent crime and as our knowledge and understanding of it evolves, so too do the methods we use to protect children and target those who prey on them. "This committee has regularly looked at this issue in recent years to ensure everyone is working together effectively and this month's meeting is the latest step in that process." The 34-year-old, from Cambridge, was being sought by police after breaching court bail and was found by officers at an address in the city on Monday. Cambridge Police posted a photo of the chest of drawers on Twitter and said the man was found "hiding in an unusual place". The man was due to appear at Cambridge Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. Friends of Otley Lido has announced an exclusivity deal with Leeds City Council, which owns the site. The group said it now has 12 months to form plans to raise £5 million needed to bring the lido back to life. Leonie Sharp of Friends of Otley Lido said the plan was to heat the pool with hydro-electric power. The West Yorkshire lido closed in 1993 and became a leisure venue for several years before gradually declining and closing to the public. Ms Sharp said: "There's no likelihood that we'll be be swimming there in the short term, but the plan is to restore this as an outdoor swimming pool for the local community. "We plan on having a heated swimming pool, ideally heated from hydro-electric power which would make it economically viable and sustainable." Supporters wore bathing suits for the announcement at Wharfemeadows Park on Saturday. Friends of Otley Lido, established in 2015, said the site had become "something of an eyesore, spoiling its picturesque riverside location". The group said the recent floods caused further damage to the site, and part of the retaining wall had collapsed. There is another lido on the edge of Ilkley Moor, six miles away, which was flooded when the River Wharfe burst its banks in December. Ilkley lido's main pool is freshwater and unheated, with a lawn for sunbathing and picnicking, and an indoor heated pool. A court was told that David Cameron slashed Gary Penman on the neck before jabbing the concealed 13-inch blade into his ribs. Mr Penman called for an ambulance on his mobile phone before collapsing in the street. Cameron, 38, was found guilty by a jury of assault to danger of life. Sheriff William Gilchrist imposed an extended sentence of two years following Cameron's release from jail. A trial heard that Mr Penman, 40, had been sitting outside a flat in Alva, Clackmannanshire on 15 August last year, when Cameron came out shouting that he was "going to get him". Mr Penman said Cameron attacked him because he wrongly believed property had gone missing from his flat. He said: "He came bouncing towards me. I remember him saying 'I'm going for your jugular'. "He went for my neck, and when I raised my right arm to my neck he stuck it right through me." Neighbours staunched his wounds with towels before paramedics took him to the Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert. Mr Penman's gall bladder was perforated during the attack and had to be removed. Mr Penman spent nine days in hospital, and has been left with a large operation scar, post traumatic stress disorder, and digestive problems from the loss of his gall bladder. Sheriff Gilchrist told Cameron: "You have accrued over 100 charges from 59 separate court appearances. "Most of those are for dishonesty, but your record is peppered with crimes of assault, and you have one conviction for possession of a weapon. "If you had a more extensive record for violence, I would have remitted you to the High Court for sentence." The California Air Resources Board (CARB) proposals did "not adequately address overall impacts on vehicle performance, emissions and safety". The board also said the proposed fix was not fast enough. It said it would continue its investigation as well as talks with VW to find a suitable solution. The head of the California Air Resources Board, Mary Nichols, said: "Volkswagen made a decision to cheat on emissions tests and then tried to cover it up. "They continued and compounded the lie and when they were caught they tried to deny it. The result is thousands of tons of nitrogen oxide that have harmed the health of Californians. They need to make it right." The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also said the VW plan for vehicles with two litre diesel engines was not acceptable. The rejection comes ahead of a meeting between VW chief executive Matthias Muller and EPA chief Gina McCarthy on Wednesday to discuss the emissions scandal. Volkswagen said in response: "Today's announcement addresses the initial recall plans Volkswagen submitted to CARB in December. We are committed to working co-operatively with CARB and other regulators, and we plan to continue our discussions tomorrow when we meet with the EPA." The issue affects almost 600,000 vehicles in the United States and up to 11 million worldwide. The scandal has severely damaged the German car maker's reputation and sparked investigations in several countries. In the US alone VW is facing fines that could run into tens of billions of dollars. Sales of VW brand vehicles fell by 4.8% in 2015 to 5.82 million cars - the first decline in 11 years - in the wake of the scandal. Herbert Diess, VW chairman, said last week he was optimistic the company would find a solution soon. "We will bring a package together which satisfies our customers first and foremost and then also the regulators," he said. However, the EPA, which first revealed the existence of the devices, said that VW had not yet "not produced an acceptable way forward". The US Department of Justice is suing Volkswagen on behalf of the EPA with a lawsuit that was filed on 4 January in a federal court in Detroit, Michigan. The DoJ said the filing was the first step in "bringing Volkswagen to justice". It can be used to find information on its computers, carry out web searches and send messages to acquaintances. The move lets the firm catch up with Microsoft, which offers a similar facility - Cortana - on Windows 10. Apple also announced it would be opening up Siri on its iOS mobile operating system to third-party apps. The firm's software chief Craig Federighi said that meant iPhone and iPad users would soon be able to send Whatsapp messages or book Uber cars via voice commands. One expert said the tool had been due a makeover. "Siri had changed very little since it was acquired by Apple and added to iOS in 2011," said Ian Fogg from the tech consultancy IHS. "In that time, Amazon and Google have dramatically improved their equivalent voice agents. So, Siri had fallen behind by comparison." Apple's TV set-top box's version of the artificial intelligence tool is also being improved to let people search YouTube clips by speaking into its remote. The announcements were made at the tech giant's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco. In April, Apple posted its first year-on-year drop in sales since 2003. Its second quarter net profit was also 22% lower than than that of the the previous year due to reduced demand for its iPhones, iPads and Mac computers. Revenue from its App Store was, however, higher. Apple's Messages app has also been given a major overhaul. It has been opened up to third-party developers. Given examples of what they can add to the program included animated stickers, money-transfer services and stripped-back tools from other apps - a food-ordering page was demoed. This is an idea that is also being pursued by other messaging services including Facebook's Messenger, Google's Allo and Tencent's WeChat. Apple is, however, seeking to distinguish its own software by giving users more control over how their messages are animated on the screen and introducing an Emojify tool. It scans typed-in text to flag words that can be changed into smileys and other ideograms. "Opening iMessage to developers and the introduction of new features will be key to driving engagement in the face of fearsome competition in the messaging space," said Geoff Blaber from the CCS Insight consultancy. "But, ironically, small touches like enhanced messaging and emojis could have the biggest impact." Older users might be more impressed with a new function that automatically transcribes voicemail. Other announcements at WWDC included a revamp of the company's music streaming service. Apple Music has been criticised for having a confusing user interface - a point the firm's services chief Eddy Cue acknowledged when he described the new version as being "more intuitive". The software now features a simplified design with large headings, and appears to have shelved its social media section. "Apple is used to going into markets a little late with something better than its rivals, but it didn't do that with the original Apple Music," commented Mark Mulligan from Midia Research. The firm also revealed that its payments facility Apple Pay would be extended to the web. This will allow users to authorise payments at online stores' checkouts by authenticating their IDs via their iPhones or Watches rather than having to type in their credit card details. "This brings better than chip-and-pin levels of security to online transactions, which is important to merchants, and it's convenient, which is important to consumers," said Dave Birch from research firm Consult Hyperion. Apple is also creating an app to act as a centralised control for users' smart home devices. It allows compatible products - including internet-connected thermometers, lights and front door locks - to be accessed from a single screen. The app links up to Siri, which allows a trigger phrase - such as "good morning" - to activate several things at once, such as turning on an apartment's lights and raising its shutters. Apple did not unveil new smart home hardware of its own - there had been speculation it would launch a voice-controlled speaker to compete with Amazon's Echo and Google's forthcoming Home. Instead, it indicated the Apple TV would act as a kind of hub, linking all the various third-party products together. "The smart home has had a lot of hype, but actual take-up is relatively small to date," said Michael Philpott from Ovum. "The more noise the big tech firms make to educate consumers, the more they will all benefit, at least at the moment." Apple also detailed updates to its smartwatch operating system. The key improvement is that apps should launch much quicker than at present, which is achieved by keeping a user's favourite programs in the device's memory. Apple is also making it possible for users to write words by drawing characters on the small screen with their finger via a new facility called Scribble. Google announced a similar facility to its Android Wear operating system last month. Other improvements to Watch OS 3 include: "WWDC was about incremental improvements rather than giant leaps," said Mr Blaber. "It may not generate immediate consumer excitement, but Apple is further refining the experience, which will deliver subtle but compelling improvements to existing users." The candidate also regularly, almost incessantly, boasts of what he's had to overcome - and whom he's been able to defeat - to enact them. Conservative audiences across the US seem to love him for it. For the past five years Democratic opponents in a state that has a long tradition of progressive policies have fought the governor over every inch of political terrain. Now many are wondering if they are, in part, responsible for his rise as a presidential contender. Is Candidate Walker a monster of their own making? "I regard Walker as one of the most destructive forces in American politics today," says Dave Obey, a retired Democratic congressman from Wisconsin. But Mr Walker's rise, he continues, "would not have been possible without the misguided recall efforts that took place in the state". The recall drive was a 2012 push to hold a special election to remove Mr Walker from office in the middle of his first term as governor. It followed months of protests by more than 100,000 demonstrators in Madison, the state capital, in an unsuccessful attempt to block passage of a law drastically reducing the collective bargaining power of the state's public employees unions, including teachers. "I don't blame the unions for thinking that they ought to vote for the recall because he literally was putting them out of business economically as well as politically," Mr Obey adds. "But sometimes it is helpful if you don't think with your spleen." The unsuccessful recall efforts, Mr Obey says, made Mr Walker a hero among grass-roots conservatives, allowed him to establish a national fundraising network and gave him a unique talking point in the crowded Republican field. Including his 2014 re-election, he's won three elections in five years - in a state that hasn't voted for a Republican president in more than 30 years. Another Wisconsin Democratic insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, was more blunt about the recall effort. "It was something you just couldn't politically be against, because the activists were so pissed off," he says. "I just wanted this to go the [expletive] away. I was praying they wouldn't get the signatures, but I couldn't stand up in public and say that." He says that the protests, although well-intentioned, were destined for failure thanks to Republican control of the state legislature. And the recall election was a "disaster" because the Wisconsin public wasn't sold on the legitimacy of the effort. "At its core was a sort of purity and innocence and stuff that would almost make you believe in American democracy - but it was just so tragically flawed," he says. "It was not going to work, it was just a children's crusade." During his presidential announcement event on Monday, Mr Walker's political war record came up again and again. There was talk of agitators being bussed in from out of state during the Madison protests and death threats made against Mr Walker and his family. "Do you remember what it was like to see your governor persecuted for simply putting you back in charge?" Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch asked the audience of around 300. "Like a David to Goliath, Governor Scott Walker had your back. And America, he will again." After Mr Walker spent nearly 40 minutes boasting of his conservative achievements, members of the audience echoed a similar sentiment. Democrats "threw everything at him that they could, and he still won," says Jeff Bishop, of Richfield, Wisconsin, who attended the event with his wife. "That says a lot." Chris Taylor, then a Wisconsin lobbyist for Planned Parenthood, was among the protesters at the state capitol in 2011, and she bristles at the characterisation of the gathering as an unruly mob. "The protests were nonviolent," she says. "These were teachers, and kids, and grandmas. They were as Wisconsin as you can get." Progressives shouldn't regret the demonstrations and recall drive, she says, as they reflected the will of the people independent of Democratic leaders. Mr Walker, she adds, is just a "tricky guy" who has been able to convince the Wisconsin public he's something he's not. "He's very moderate in his speech, he's not bombastic, he's very earnest, he's very Mid-Western," Ms Taylor, now a Wisconsin state representative, says. "He's very appealing in that way, but he governs like an extremist." According to Joel Rivlin, a Wisconsin-based Democratic political consultant, the protests and recall efforts gave Mr Walker a big bump, even if it was fairly clear from the governor's first days in office that he was positioning himself for an eventual presidential bid. "Even before the recall, he was receiving a ton of money from outside of Wisconsin," he says. "People just assumed he was gearing up for something and had bigger ambitions." But now, riding a wave of liberal spite, Mr Walker has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in national Republican politics. He's the front-runner in neighbouring Iowa, the first of the 2016 nomination battlegrounds, and is near the top in national approval polls. While the Republican primary field is filled with high-calibre governors with records of accomplishment - Florida's Jeb Bush, Rick Perry of Texas and New Jersey's Chris Christie, to name but a few - Mr Walker's stands apart. No other Republican candidate has built a "throne of his enemies' skulls", as the Federalist's Rich Cromwell puts it, quite like the Wisconsin governor. There's a line by Ralph Waldo Emerson that's often trotted out for coups and revolutions, but could prove equally applicable to the leader of a certain northern dairy state. "Never strike a king unless you are sure you shall kill him." Scott Walker, despite all the efforts to unseat him, still wears the crown - and now he's eying a much larger dominion. The Swiss third seed hit 36 winners and will face Serbia's Viktor Troicki in the fourth round. Richard Gasquet is the first Frenchman into the last 16, beating Australian Nick Kyrgios 6-2 7-6 (9-7) 6-2 to set up a meeting with Kei Nishikori. In the women's draw, 10th seed Petra Kvitova lost 6-0 6-7 (3-7) 6-0 to world number 108 Shelby Rogers. Sixth seed Simona Halep was taken to three sets by 18-year-old Naomi Osaka, but Garbine Muguruza made more straightforward progress. The Spaniard, who has hired coach Sam Sumyk since her run to the Wimbledon final last year, dispatched Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer 6-3 6-0 in 63 minutes. Rogers admitted that the emotion of the moment got the better of her in the immediate aftermath of the victory over two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova that took her into the fourth round of a major tournament for the first time. "I immediately started crying," said the 23-year-old American. "It was an incredible moment, but it's definitely a little blurry.'' World number 101 Naomi Osaka had to be content with an improvement on the 6-1 6-1 defeat by Victoria Azarenka that she suffered at this year's Australian Open - her only other appearance in a Grand Slam third round. "I played one of the best players in the world and I managed to worry her for a second there," she said after her 4-6 6-2 6-3 loss to Halep. No doubt about this one. Agnieszka Radwanska and Barbora Strycova shared an extraordinary point, in which both played shots from sitting positions before Czech Stycova finally found a winner to bring the crowd to their feet on Court Suzanne Lenglen. Second seed Radwanska lost that battle but emerged victorious, prevailing 6-2 6-7 (6-8) 6-2. As Rafael Nadal withdrew from the tournament with a wrist injury, Roger Federer posted an image on Twitter showing his own comeback. The 34-year-old Swiss, who won at Roland Garros in 2009, is absent from a Grand Slam event for the first time this century after opting to rest a back injury. The withdrawal of nine-time champion Nadal means that at least one of the quarter-finalists in the men's draw will be in the last eight of a Grand Slam for the first time in their careers. Fellow Spaniard Marcel Granollers was the direct beneficiary of Nadal's withdrawal, advancing to a fourth-round meeting with either Austrian 13th seed Dominic Thiem or Germany's Alexander Zverev, who at 19 is the youngest player in the world's top 50.

Police were called to water pump company Selwood in Chandler's Ford industrial estate, Hampshire, on Wednesday afternoon after the driver raised the alarm. Hampshire Constabulary said in total it had arrested two men and a woman on suspicion of immigration offences. They remain in custody. The Home Office said at least one man was Sudanese. It added: "His case is being progressed in line with the immigration rules. "Where someone has no right to remain in the UK, we will take action to remove them." A statement from Selwood said: "A member of staff at the security gate alerted the police after the driver of a lorry which had stopped before entering the site raised concerns that there may be people in the vehicle. "The lorry was due to make a delivery to Selwood. "The matter was handled by the police and the lorry, which had been sent by a supplier from Germany, was taken onto the site at Chandler's Ford." The 94-year-old is "in good spirits" and enjoyed a full breakfast, it said. After Mr Mandela was admitted to hospital late on Wednesday, President Zuma said people "must not panic". The former president first contracted tuberculosis in the 1980s while detained on windswept Robben Island. His lungs are said to have been damaged while working in a prison quarry. This latest spell in hospital is his fourth in just over two years. Mr Mandela served as South Africa's first black president from 1994 to 1999 and is regarded by many as the father of the nation for leading the struggle against apartheid. 'Thoughts and prayers' The statement issued by President Zuma's office on Friday said: "Former President Nelson Mandela is in good spirits and enjoyed a full breakfast this morning. The doctors report that he is making steady progress." Mr Mandela remains under treatment in hospital. Last December he was treated for a lung infection and gallstones - his longest period in hospital since leaving prison in 1990. In February, he was treated for a stomach condition. BBC History: Mandela's defiant freedom speech On Thursday, US President Barack Obama said he was "deeply concerned with Nelson Mandela's health", adding that "we will be keeping him in our thoughts and prayers". Earlier, when asked whether people should prepare for the inevitable, Mr Zuma said: "In Zulu, when someone passes away who is very old, people say he or she has gone home. I think those are some of the things we should be thinking about." But he stressed that Mr Mandela had been able to handle the situation "very well" so far. "Very few outstanding personalities in the world live to his level," he said. Mr Mandela retired from public life in 2004 and has been rarely seen in public since. Despite his long imprisonment, Mr Mandela forgave his former enemies and as president urged South Africans of all races to work together and seek reconciliation. In 1993 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His main home is in Qunu, a small rural village in Eastern Cape province, where he says he spent the happiest days of his childhood. However, doctors said in December he should remain at his home in the Johannesburg neighbourhood of Houghton to be close to medical facilities. The Idle Women project, aimed at addressing "the urgent need for women's space" and providing "a radical redress of power, acknowledgement and voice", has been put together by caretakers Rachel Anderson and Cis O'Boyle. It centres around the Selina Cooper, a renovated barge with both a living area and an arts space which will travel the canals for the next two years, giving women a chance to "take off armour and just relax and breathe a little", Anderson says. "We start with the canals but it's definitely about addressing the urgency for change that is needed across the board. "In part, this a conversation about the arts and a woman's place in the arts, but it's also about our place in everyday life - the way we constantly have to consider our security. Whether that's walking home at night or in our relationships with men, and the things that we have to navigate in terms of inequality or our role as mothers. "The issues for women are everywhere and it's really important that we have a space to just be. It doesn't have to be about looking at those issues. "I think the starting place always has to about women and women's capacity to breathe, so let's take it from there and see what impact that has." The idea for the project came while the pair were working in "a very patriarchal way" in London, which O'Boyle says left them jaded and feeling "a little bit like going down with a sinking ship". As a result, they thought about where they could put the energy that would have been put into a big production, into "something that has some value". After realising the limitations of a farm - both financially and in terms of how many women they could connect with - O'Boyle says they struck upon the idea of doing something on the waterways. "We toyed with it for a while, took a trip on a friend's narrow boat and realised the canals were an extremely male-dominated space, so we thought 'why not start a revolution on the canals?'." In doing so, O'Boyle says they are following in the footsteps of the women who gave the two-year project its name, and who worked on the canals in World War Two. "They did all the heavy labour while soldiers were at war and at the time," she says. "It was Inland Waterways, and they had a little badge which said IW to get on and off the barges and into secure places - they were immediately nicknamed Idle Women." Anderson continues: "When we found out about that, it tapped into other women's histories that we don't really know about - and it feels really important to learn. "Being here in Lancashire, we've also learned about the women who worked in the coal mines and the women that worked the land - these are really important parts of our history that are not forefronted or celebrated." Even the barge's name taps into that, coming as it does from a suffragette who began life as a child labourer in the area's cotton mills and went on found a maternity hospital and speak for the local women in parliament. "She was this incredible woman with this incredible contribution to society, but she's relatively unknown," Anderson says. "We want to bring history into the forefront as well as talk about our future - to acknowledge ourselves in a more full way." To do that, the Arts Council-funded barge is going to spend two years travelling around Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and West Yorkshire, working with women's groups where it moors and housing seven artists-in-residence along the way. The first to take up that post is photographer and visual artist Martina Mullaney who, along with her daughter Cecily and dog Max, will spend two months on board. She says the barge is "a gift... a lovely space that frees me up to be able to think about making artwork". Importantly for her, it is also somewhere women can gather: "Those spaces are fewer and fewer and art-only spaces for women haven't really existed since the 80s. "This is a space where women can put our other experiences to one side. Women feel, on a daily level, really hassled by patriarchy and the system, and sometimes it's just a joy to get a break from men. "That's not because anyone is a man-hater, but it's tough fighting constantly - whether it's wolf whistles or sexism at work or other such things. "It's a luxury to think 'while I'm on this boat, I put the outside world aside'. I suppose I could do that at home, but now I can consciously think about what it means to not invite a male into the space." Anderson says Mullaney and the other residents, including theatre director Mojisola Adebayo and multimedia artist Karen Mirza, were chosen because they "represent an aspect of arts practice and socially engaged practice that is undervalued in the mainstream art world". "We're starting to think of it more as a co-dependent practice because the truth is artists cannot make work without other people," she says. "We're interested in artists that recognise that. There's a really big misconception that artists work in isolation - it's totally inaccurate. "Artists always need inspiration from others - the extent of how they acknowledge that varies - but we are really interested in forefronting how we work together to create and feed each other." Some of those who will be coming to the project will have been directed there by Lancashire Women's Centres, who work with women needing many different kinds of support. Training co-ordinator Moya O'Hagan says she was drawn to the barge because "it's always useful to have women-only spaces". "We can't offer a lot of out-of-hours provision so it's great to direct women to because it's here all the time. And it's flexible, it can move to where women want it," she says. "The idea is really new and innovative and it's just got this relaxed sanctuary feel to it. It's like a real retreat - a safe space that feels creative. Anderson says she and O'Boyle want the barge to become a treasured space to the women that use it and hope that by the time the project is completed, they "will have created a space for women to use in a way that they want to or need to". "We're already seeing that. It's overwhelming how many women are feeling in touch with us all of the time," she says. "We have a very broad range of ideas of how women can get involved - whether they come and have a cup of tea with us one day or whether they come to everything that we do. "For two years, between Blackburn, Barrowford, Dewsbury, Manchester and St Helens, this area will have this network that know each other through art, and that feels so important." Timothy Humphreys was struck by a car on the A836, near the A99 junction and the Seaview Hotel, at about 22:40 on 17 February. The 34-year-old, who was from John O' Groats, died at the scene of the collision. Police want to hear about sightings of Mr Humphreys in the hour before the incident. Crawley finished last season with eight successive defeats but midfielder Smith struck on 60 minutes to maintain their record of never having lost on the opening day since entering the Football League six seasons ago. Wycombe winger Myles Weston was forced off injured on his Wanderers debut before Crawley were fortunate to survive when a shot from Dayle Southwell was dropped by keeper Yusuf Mersin. The ball was quickly played to Luke O'Nien, who had an effort cleared off the line by Joe McNerney before Aaron Pierre saw a deflected effort go wide. Crawley, fielding seven debutants, threatened when James Collins and Jordan Roberts both had goal-bound shots saved by keeper Scott Brown. Former Liverpool development squad keeper Mersin got down well to save a header from Pierre following a Joe Jacobson free-kick shortly before the interval. Crawley broke the deadlock on the hour when skipper Smith cashed in on a mistake by substitute Matt Bloomfield to fire past keeper Brown. Wycombe introduced new signing Adebayo Akinfenwa for the last quarter of the game but he could not spark a revival as Crawley clinched a hard-fought win. Crawley finished with 10 men after defender Andre Blackman was dismissed for two yellow cards in stoppage time. Report supplied by the Press Association.

In September, Robert Howard was granted leave to seek a judicial review of the coroner's decision to examine the 1994 disappearance of Arlene Arkinson. His legal team claimed the move was an attempt to undermine the not guilty verdict returned against him in 2005. The body of Arlene, who was 15, has never been found. Howard's lawyers argued that the inquest is being used as a way of reopening issues surrounding the case because the Arkinson family were unhappy with the outcome of the criminal trial. On Monday, a High Court judge confirmed he had dismissed Howard's application for a judicial review. Mr Justice Treacy said he would issue a judgment setting out the reasons for his decision on Wednesday. Life sentence Arlene, from Castlederg, County Tyrone, vanished after attending a disco in Bundoran, County Donegal. Howard, 67, who formerly lived near her home, was charged with her murder but acquitted at trial. The jury did not know that by then he was already serving life for raping and killing 14-year-old Hanna Williams from Deptford, south London. Her body was found in a cement works in Northfleet, Kent, in March 2002. Howard's lawyers, who unsuccessfully tried to have reporting restrictions imposed on their judicial review application, pointed out that the coroner's stated purpose was to allow Arlene's death to be registered. It was argued that this could be achieved through an alternative, High Court procedure with the Presumption of Death Act 2009 coming into effect. Officers said they stopped the vehicle near to the Back O'Hill roundabout on Friday and found a quantity of cocaine and cannabis. They said the drugs had an estimated street value of about £15,500. A 46-year-old man has been detained in police custody and is expected to appear at Airdrie Sheriff Court on Monday. Thirty-two foreigners, including British, Swedish, Norwegian and Australian citizens, were arrested during the anti-gambling raid. They said they were not playing for money, but were held for possessing too many unregistered playing cards. Thailand's military rulers have vowed to crack down on corruption and crime. The players were released on bail on Thursday, after 12 hours in custody. In addition to 12 Britons, those arrested included three Norwegians, three Swedes, two Australians, a German, a Dane, a Canadian and a New Zealander, AFP news agency reported. An 84-year-old Dutch woman was also among those held, local paper Pattaya One reported. Police said they raided the bridge club after its anti-corruption centre received a tip-off. The members had broken a 1935 law, the Playing Cards Act, which prohibits individuals from possessing more than 120 playing cards, Pattaya One said. The president of Thailand's bridge league has travelled to Pattaya to explain to police how bridge is played, the paper added. Thailand has strict anti-gambling laws, with nearly all forms of gambling prohibited. The announcement came after two weeks of hectic diplomatic activities between the nuclear-armed neighbours. The efforts resulted in Wednesday's announcement in Islamabad that the two countries would talk on all outstanding issues, including terrorism and the thorny issue of Kashmir. The first sign of a thaw came when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a brief meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif at a climate change conference in Paris on 1 December. The leaders smiled and posed for cameras in Paris. But there was more to their meeting, senior diplomats from the two countries had been holding back channel discussions. All this culminated into a meeting of the National Security Advisers (NSA) of the two countries in Bangkok on Sunday. A statement issued after the meeting said they had talked about terrorism, Kashmir, peace and security. This paved the way for Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's visit to Pakistan on Wednesday to attend a security conference on Afghanistan. Ms Swaraj said in Islamabad that the foreign secretaries of both countries would meet soon to set an agenda for meetings on "peace and security". Delhi and Islamabad gave up their tough positions on two key issues to achieve this result. India agreed to keep Kashmir on the agenda and Pakistan promised to speed up the trial of those India blames for the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The release of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, whom India accuses of masterminding the 2008 Mumbai attacks, from a Pakistani jail in April this year has upset Indians. The South Asian rivals have fought two wars and a limited conflict over Kashmir, which is claimed by both countries in its entirety. The neighbours needed a breakthrough to come out of the diplomatic cul-de-sac and plan two high-level visits of Indian leaders to Pakistan. And they found this in Bangkok, away from the gaze of the nationalistic media outlets of the two countries. Ms Swaraj needed a ready platform to announce the resumption of peace talks in Islamabad and the successful negotiations in Bangkok gave her that. This breakthrough will also give enough time to the two sides to prepare for Mr Modi's visit to Pakistan. He has accepted Mr Sharif's invitation to attend a regional summit of South Asian leaders in Islamabad next year. Some analysts said that the appointment of Lt-Gen Naseer Khan Janjua as Pakistan's NSA also motivated India to go ahead with peace talks. Lt-Gen Janjua is from the powerful army of Pakistan and can influence decision-making in Islamabad. The two countries have also agreed to work together on counter-terrorism in the region. The looming presence of Islamic State jihadi group has been a source of concern for both India and Pakistan. The recent announcement has come after what many describe as a series of "diplomatic blunders" in the past year. Mr Sharif had attended Mr Modi's inauguration in May last year, raising hopes of a revival of the stalled peace talks. But in the next one year, the two sides struggled to arrange any meaningful dialogue. They blamed each other for cross-border firing in Kashmir. The initial optimism slowly fizzled out. However, a breakthrough came when the two prime ministers met in the Russian city of Ufa in July on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit. Their joint statement said that all "issues of bilateral and regional interests" would be discussed between their NSAs. But the meeting was cancelled in August after India refused to keep Kashmir on the agenda. Despite the breakthrough, not many expect any resolution of outstanding issues like Kashmir, water-sharing and boundary disputes. The success of the talks can be largely measured by the situation on the de facto border that divides Kashmir between the two countries. But there are expectations that bilateral trade, tourism and cultural exchanges are likely to increase. The governments on both sides will be mindful of the presence of the hardliners. The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says some ultra-nationalists in Pakistan are continuing to harp on the line that "there can't be any peace" until the Kashmir issue is resolved. This lobby is traditionally critical of any likely Pakistani intention to enhance trading ties with India or allow its traders overland access to Afghanistan. At the same time, ironically, they criticise Afghanistan for denying a similar transit of gas and electricity lines from Central Asia to Pakistan, our correspondent adds. Writing in the Sun in July, MacKenzie said a reporter wearing a headscarf should not have been allowed to report on the Nice terror attacks. Manji said Ipso's clearing of MacKenzie signified "open season" on minorities. But MacKenzie told BBC News there was a "legitimate debate" to be had about journalists wearing symbols of faith. In a statement to the corporation, he said: "I agree 100% that no Muslim should be prevented from covering any story. "But there is a legitimate debate about whether it is appropriate for journalists to wear prominent symbols of their faith on air, particularly when reporting on stories with a religious angle." He also drew attention to the BBC's own debate around the issue several years ago, when bosses at the corporation were considering what was appropriate for newsreaders to wear. MacKenzie added: "Let's not lose sight of that fact that for many people, including Muslims, the hijab is a symbol of the subjugation and oppression of women. In some countries, women are physically attacked, arrested and imprisoned for not covering their heads. "Whatever your perspective, it is an important debate and we should not be banned from discussing it." Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Thursday morning, Manji said: "I think the fact that Kelvin MacKenzie can write a column and suggest that I am somehow sympathetic to a perpetrator of a terrorist attack, that somehow I am not like the rest of us, that I am the other, means that other people are now open to attack." "It was upsetting enough to find my picture in what is Britain's most widely read newspaper next to the words 'Muslim terror attack,'" she told Mishal Husain. "It was upsetting enough to find myself the latest victim to Kelvin Mackenzie's tirade. But now to know that has been given the green light by the press regulator and that effectively it is open season on minorities, and Muslims in particular, is frightening." Manji added that she had been "contacted privately by individuals who work at The Sun and at News UK to say they were embarrassed and ashamed that MacKenzie was allow to peddle such hatred". In his original column, MacKenzie asked: "Was it appropriate for [Manji] to be on camera when there had been yet another shocking slaughter by a Muslim?" He argued the hijab was a "religious statement" and questioned whether a Christian would be able to wear a cross prominently on television. Manji told the BBC: "This debate about religious symbols to me is a manufactured debate by the Sun and Kelvin MacKenzie. He is not a public philosopher of our time, he's not interested in religious symbols "A third of the victims [in Nice] were Muslim, a 62-year-old grandmother was slaughtered that night, she, like me, was called Fatima and also wore a headscarf." In its ruling, published on Wednesday, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) said he was "entitled to express" his view. "The article did not include a prejudicial or pejorative reference to the complainant on the grounds of religion." "While the columnist's opinion was undoubtedly offensive to the complainant, and to others, these were views he had been entitled to express." Responding to the ruling, Ben De Pear, the editor of Channel 4 News, said: "Whilst we agree that freedom of expression is a fundamental right, we do not believe that it should be used as a licence to incite or discriminate." "We see no reason why a Muslim journalist should be prevented from covering any story and Fatima will continue to report and present the news on the issues of the day with impartiality and depth."

The four-day show in Llanelwedd, Powys, attracted its highest ever attendance of 241,099 in July 2012. The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society said the event made a surplus of income over expenditure of £209,247 which is slightly up on the figures for 2011. The society's Winter Fair and Spring Festival also made a profit. In a debate held by BBC London, he accused Conservative Zac Goldsmith of subscribing to the view that a house worth £450,000 is "affordable". But Mr Goldsmith dismissed his views as "nonsense". The candidates were asked by an audience member what they saw as an affordable home. Mr Goldsmith did not name a figure, saying an affordable housing policy was one that enabled an "average Londoner earning an average income to get the keys to their first home". He acknowledged "we do have a housing crisis in London" and said the "only long-term solution is to increase supply". Mr Khan countered that an affordable house is "not £450,000 - which is the figure Zac is scared to mention". He was referring to Mr Goldsmith's support for the government's Housing and Planning Bill, under which starter homes will be sold at a discount of at least 20% of market price of less than £450,000 in London. Mr Goldsmith hit back: "That is nonsense. We've already had this argument and you backed down - don't do it again just because we're on TV. It's absurd." Mr Khan, who also declined to name a figure, said he would limit rent to a third of average local earnings and enable people to part-buy part-rent with a deposit of £5,000. He reiterated his ideas were "a million miles away from half a million pounds, which is what Zac thinks is affordable". Liberal Democrat Caroline Pidgeon committed to retaining the Olympic precept in order to invest in council housing, telling the audience: "I'm going to put money into this - I'm not just talking the talk." The Greens' Sian Berry said she would call the prime minister on her first day in office and "tell him we need the power to control our rents". UKIP candidate Peter Whittle dismissed talk of affordable homes as "platitudinous", saying: "Anyone who thinks the housing crisis is not linked to uncontrolled migration is in denial."

"I'm really excited to be part of next year's squad and looking forward to continuing my success with the Steelbacks," he told the club website. Levi played 13 Twenty20 internationals for the Proteas in 2012 but signed for Northants as a Kolpak player last year. Kolpak contracts are signed by foreign players, using a European Court ruling so they are not counted as an overseas player. Since the end of the 2015 English season, Levi has played for South African side Cape Cobras as an opening batsman. He boasts the second highest number of sixes in any T20 international innings, hitting 13 on his way to 117 not out against New Zealand in 2012. Ormondroyd, who started his career with Rovers, had two years left on his deal with the Championship club. The 24-year-old made 23 appearances for Featherstone in 2016 to help them reach the Qualifiers, and played a further five times in the Super 8s. "Jack is a player who has impressed us this season and who has potential," head coach Brian McDermott said. "We will be continuing our dual registration arrangement with Featherstone next season and that will allow Jack to continue his development in games as well." Malachi Halstead, 35, of Newport allegedly attacked Teerath Mann, 23, as he thought he was stealing money. He denies actual bodily harm, wounding with intent, unlawful wounding and carrying an offensive weapon. Mr Mann told Cardiff Crown Court another man carried out the attack, referred to him only as Mr Biggs. It is alleged Mr Mann sold drugs on behalf of Mr Halstead and was in debt to him. Mr Halstead's partner, Nicole Seaborne, 26, also from Newport, denies encouraging or assisting in the commission of an indictable offence believing it will be committed. The court previously heard Mr Mann was driven to a secluded area amid a dispute over stolen money before his finger was chopped off on 13 August 2016. But he said on Thursday it was "all a lie" and he made it up as he feared for his life. Jurors were previously shown a Snapchat clip from Mr Halstead, known as DJ Madskie, of the finger with him saying: "See that? I chopped that off." However, Mr Mann said Mr Halstead was made to record that video and was instructed what to say by Mr Biggs. Mr Mann said: "I lied. I don't want to disclose his name. He's a very dangerous man and I am scared for my life." He told the court he phoned Mr Halstead because he feared for his safety and asked him for help. He also denied Miss Seaborne had any involvement, who is accused of handing Mr Halstead the meat cleaver he used to chop Mr Mann's finger off. Prosecuting, Heath Edwards, challenged Mr Mann's account. In police interview, Mr Mann allegedly said Mr Halstead told him if he lied about his involvement to the police then he would wipe that debt. "The man who chopped your finger off and that you are scared of is Malachi Halstead, isn't it?" Mr Edwards asked. "You're trying to ambush the trial aren't you?" The trial continues. For some in the oil-rich Gulf State, owning the likes of a cheetah is a status symbol, but they now risk jail or a fine. Big cats have been pictured being taken on walks in social media postings. Past pictures featured lions in the back of cars, and a video emerged in October showing five tigers on a beach in Dubai. Unsurprisingly, officials are concerned about the dangers posed by freely-roaming animals. The new law bans dealing in and ownership of "all types of wild and domesticated but dangerous animals," the Gulf News reported. These animals can now only be kept in zoos, wildlife parks, circuses, and breeding and research centres. Anyone who takes a big cat or any other kind of exotic animal out in public will face up to six months in jail and a fine of up to 500,000 dirhams ($136,000; £110,883). Arabic daily Al-Ittihad said that would increase to 700,000 dirhams for anyone using wild animals to "terrorise" others. Keepers of more traditional pets will also be affected by the new law. Dog owners will have to obtain permits and keep their animals on the lead in public. Failure to do so could trigger a fine of up to 100,000 dirhams. The same penalty applies to owners who fail to vaccinate their dogs against dangerous diseases. Dog lovers have until mid-June to acquire the necessary licence and jabs. Tyrone Lock, from Hope under Dinmore in Herefordshire, was found 48 hours after reports he was acting erratically at Macdonald Hill Valley Hotel near Whitchurch in Shropshire. The 18-year-old had taken ecstasy and the herbal stimulant khat before fleeing in his socks and boxer shorts. West Mercia Police said it would "review future callout procedures". CCTV footage of the hotel from 21 November 2015 showed Mr Lock threatening the night manager and acting erratically. When police arrived, the teenager ran out of the lobby towards the hotel golf course. The inquest jury found officers inappropriately classed him as a suspect who was absconding, as apposed to treating him as a vulnerable person. PC Charlotte Sullivan told the inquest she requested a police helicopter but it could not be provided for "operational reasons". Shropshire coroner John Ellery questioned why a second call to the National Police Air Service (NPAS) was not made and PC Sullivan replied: "I wouldn't normally ask a second time." A police dog handler, PC Ian Willes, searched the grounds for 40 minutes and heard a voice shouting "Leonard" - the name of Mr Lock's friend. The police dog picked up a scent, but the teenager was not located. Two days later, he was found dead in a pond on the grounds by a green-keeper. The jury at Shropshire Coroner's Court recorded a narrative verdict. Outside court, Mr Lock's mother Tracey Lock said she was "happy to get justice for Tyrone" who "was a gentleman... and a pleasure". "I'm so proud to be his mum," she added, but said the family was "broken" without him. Det Ch Insp Paul Moxley said: "We acknowledge today's verdict and we will now look to work closely with NPAS to review future callout procedures. "Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Tyrone following his tragic death." Councillors voted eight to six in favour of developing land on the former Whitland Creamery. It had been recommended for refusal as the homes were proposed on land reserved for employment purposes. The site should be redeveloped "for the benefit of the community", planning committee member Anthony Jones said. Local councillor Sue Allen said the empty site was a "constant reminder of the past" and the town "needed to move forward". Applicant Whitland Green Park Limited sought full planning permission to build a mixture of detached, semi-detached and terraced properties, along with a new access from Market Street. A report which went before the planning committee said: "It is accepted that the site, in its vacant dilapidated state does detract from the character and appearance of the area and as such the proposal would serve to significantly improve the site's appearance." But despite planning officers saying the benefits of the scheme did not outweigh the loss of employment land, the plan was approved, with one abstention. The site has a long planning history - it formed part of the Whitland Creamery which closed in 1994, with many of the associated buildings demolished in 2003. Redevelopment of the site has been a "firm objective" of Carmarthenshire council.

The IFA "exercised its discretion" in not imposing a sanction, which could have seen Carrick deducted three points and relegated as the bottom club. Instead, Warrenpoint finished bottom with the Mallards in the play-off. The IFA said their appeals had no standing as they were "third parties" to the case involving Carrick. Gary Haveron, who was Carrick manager last season, sat out a three-game ban handed out by the IFA. However, he was in the dugout for his club's match against Dungannon Swifts on 23 April when he should not have been there - Carrick were subsequently charged. In response to the IFA's decision not to punish Carrick, Warrenpoint said they were "shocked" and claimed the ruling body had not been objective. The chairman of the IFA's Disciplinary Committee explained on Saturday that the right to appeal related to a charge "imposed upon him or it". The charge was against Carrick only and not involving Warrenpoint and Ballinamallard, even though they were directly affected by the outcome. The latest decision leaves Warrenpoint relegated, but the club's board has "agreed to go to the next stage which is to pursue Sports Arbitration". Ballinamallard will now play the second leg of the promotion/relegation play-off against Institute. The first leg was contested over three weeks ago, with the Mallards winning 2-1, and a date for the second leg has yet to be confirmed. The 65.8 hours of sunshine recorded by the Met Office was in contrast to the 30-year average of 45.8 hours. The previous record November was in 1989, when 60.6 hours of sunshine was recorded. November was also unusually dry in Scotland, with only 68% of the normal rainfall recorded. The Scottish rainfall figure of 113.1mm was significantly below the 116.3mm average. The Paisley club have received the 21-year-old midfielder's signed release papers and expect him to join A-League club West Sydney. Mooy signed for the Buddies in October 2010 after compensation was agreed with Bolton Wanderers and made 30 appearances for the Buddies. This move will give Aaron the opportunity to play more first-team football The Sydney-born under-23 international joined the English club from the New South Wales Institute of Sport in 2006. St Mirren general manager Brian Caldwell told the Scottish Premier League club's website: "This move will give Aaron the opportunity to play more first-team football, which he really needs at this stage of his career. "He has been in the UK for the last six years, so I'm sure he will be glad to get back home to Australia, where he will look to push on with his career. "We would like to thank Aaron for his efforts while here at St Mirren and to wish him all the best for the future." Mooy has been capped at under-20 and under-23 level and was called into the senior Australia squad in August 2009 for a friendly against Republic of Ireland but did not play. However, he made only 12 appearances this season for St Mirren, his last coming as a late substitute in a 2-0 home defeat by Hearts in the Scottish Cup. His one goal this term came in a 2-1 win over Rangers in December. First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, and their Labour, Green and Liberal Democrat counterparts all voiced their support for a law change. Their calls come ahead of a major gay rights rally in Belfast on Saturday. Northern Ireland is the only part of the British Isles where same-sex marriage is outlawed. The issue has long been a divisive one, with attempts to introduce it having been blocked by the largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). The party rejects claims that it is homophobic, and has said it is protecting the "traditional" definition of marriage. The matter has become a sticking point in talks between the DUP and Sinn Féin aimed at restoring power-sharing at Stormont. Earlier this week, celebrities, including actor Liam Neeson and TV presenter Graham Norton, added their backing to the same-sex marriage campaign. A bill to allow same-sex marriages in Scotland was overwhelmingly approved by the region's parliament in 2014, and the heads of its five main parties have now said the same measure should be introduced in Northern Ireland. Ms Sturgeon said she was proud to have supported same-sex marriage in Scotland and was "thrilled to see the positive reaction" to it. "The debate over equal marriage in Scotland did more than just simply allow people to marry," she said. "It also helped to challenge negative attitudes that still exist today in our society towards LGBTI people and show, quite simply, that same-sex couples are just as valued as opposite sex couples." Ms Davidson said she was "optimistic this is a battle that can be won". "Equal marriage isn't about one religion or country or community - it's much simpler than that," the Scottish Tory leader said. "At its heart, equal marriage is about the people of Northern Ireland being afforded the same rights as everybody else. "Change is coming. And it's a change for the better." Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said that the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Scotland, England, Wales and the Republic of Ireland has been "liberating and encouraging". The debate on the matter in Northern Ireland should be "conducted courteously", Ms Dugdale said, adding: "It's time for LGBT people across the whole of the UK to enjoy the right to marry who they want." Patrick Harvie, the co-convener of the Scottish Green Party, said gay rights campaigners would not "accept that the prejudice of the DUP will never be overcome". Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said the "world has not collapsed" since gay marriages first took place in Scotland. The leaders' statements were released by the human rights organisation Amnesty International, which is campaigning for gay rights in Northern Ireland. The oil giant lodged plans to decommission the Brent field with the UK government in February. It wants to leave the legs of three of the platforms in place rather than removing them, which Shell has described as the safest option. Environmentalists say the plans are not detailed enough to justify the move. Each of the platform legs are made of concrete and steel and weigh about 300,000 tonnes. Brent is iconic because it lends its name to the benchmark of the North Sea, Brent Crude. WWF, Greenpeace UK, the Marine Conservation Society, Friends of the Earth Scotland, International Environmental Organisation Kimo, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, the Scottish Wildlife Trust, and RSPB Scotland have joined forces to reject the plan. WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "Despite some 3,000 pages of documents, it has not been possible to come to a view on Shell's decommissioning proposal due to insufficient information being provided by the company across several key areas. "The internationally-agreed Ospar rules set out very clear criteria and procedures for operators to follow in carrying out such assessments, but we do not believe they have been adhered to with regard to disposing of the Brent platforms. "The material presented by Shell cannot be clearly cross-referenced to the Ospar requirements meaning we cannot assess whether or not there is a solid case for the derogations sought. "We are therefore left with no choice but to reject Shell's plans in their current state and have asked for key further information to adequately assess their proposals." Shell doesn't want a repeat of Brent Spar. When it proposed sinking the oil storage installation at sea in 1995, it prompted direct action by Greenpeace. Greenpeace UK chief scientist Dr Doug Parr said: "The plans in their current form don't allow international law to be upheld, because it's not possible for regulators to really understand what the proposition is. "We don't think they have explored options fully, we don't think they have justified the options we want to carry through and we think they should go back and properly do their homework. "We won't rule in or out taking direct action on this or frankly any other campaign because we don't talk about our campaign plans in detail in advance. What I can say is that we are going to continue to monitor and to watch and make sure international law is upheld and Shell does the right thing in doing so." A 60-day consultation on Shells decommissioning programme for the Brent field has now closed. A Shell spokesman Shell said: "Shell welcomes the feedback, which has been received from stakeholders and members of the public during the 60-day public consultation period for the Brent field. "The consultation concludes today and, over the coming weeks, we will continue to review and respond to the comments received. Government ministers will now decide whether to accept the plans. A spokeswoman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said: "Any decommissioning plan will be carefully considered by the government, taking into account environmental, safety and cost implications, the impact on other users of the sea and a public consultation." Its Football Money League, based on season 2014-15, also said the combined revenues of the 20 clubs had risen 8% to €6.6bn (£5.1bn), a new record. Real's arch-rivals Barcelona rose two places to second on the list, pushing Manchester United down to third. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich completed the top five. Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool occupied places six to nine, all of them notching up healthy increases in revenues. Tottenham were in 12th spot, with Newcastle United and Everton at 17th and 18th. Meanwhile, West Ham was a new entrant at number 20, making the top 20 for the first time since 2005-06. The list only looks at revenues accrued and does not take into account club debts. All the 20 clubs represented are from the "big five" European leagues, with Italy contributing four clubs, Germany three, Spain three and France one. Real Madrid saw revenues of €577m (£439m, at average exchange rate for the year ending 30 June 2015). The club saw revenue growth of €27.5m, including an increase of €22.7m in commercial revenues from the previous season. Other findings include: Although Manchester United fell one place, they remain the highest-grossing Premier League club, earning €519.5m (£395.2m). "Despite a reduction in revenue year-on-year, the fact that Manchester United remain in the top three of the Money League demonstrates the underlying strength of the club's business model," said Tim Bridge, senior manager at Deloitte. "The return to Champions League football, as well as the commencement of a number of significant commercial partnerships, will only strengthen the business in 2015-16. "With this in mind, it would not be surprising to see United top next year's Money League for the first time in 12 years, with the club forecasting revenues of around £500m (around €650m)." DELOITTE FOOTBALL MONEY LEAGUE •1. Real Madrid: €577m •2. Barcelona: €560.8m •3. Man Utd: €519.5m •4. Paris Saint Germain; €480.8m •5. Bayern Munich: €474m •6. Manchester City: €463.5m •7.

Once again, the list was drawn from England's Premier League, Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A, Spain's La Liga and France's Ligue 1. "The 2014-15 Money League has been another year of growth for the big five European leagues," said Dan Jones, partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte. "However, we have also seen a slowdown of growth from the top five clubs, with revenues growing by just 4% year on year, compared to 11% in the previous edition. "It may be hard for new clubs to break into the top 10 in the short term, given the €43.3m revenue gap between 10th and 11th place." It is thought to be the first time a judge has implemented a 2008 law under which perpetrators of "terrorist activities" can lose their citizenship. Alla Zayoud, from northern Israel, was convicted of four counts of attempted murder for the attack in October 2015. Israeli civil rights groups said the ruling set "a dangerous precedent". In his decision, Judge Avraham Elyakim of Haifa district court said victims' right to life took precedence over "those who choose to violate the trust of the state of Israel and carry out acts of terrorism in its territory". Interior Minister Arieh Deri had filed the request to revoke Zayoud's citizenship in 2016. Zayoud has the right to appeal. Zayoud, who comes from the town of Umm al-Fahm, is serving a 25-year sentence for the attack in which he drove his car into a group of soldiers and then started stabbing people. It was one of the first such incidents in what has become a wave of so-called "lone wolf" attacks on Israelis predominantly by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs since October 2015. The court's ruling was condemned by rights groups. "The decision to revoke Mr Zayoud's residence would render him stateless, in violation of Israel's obligations under international human rights law," said Sari Bashi of Human Rights watch. "Citizenship is a precondition for a host of other rights, including the right to political participation and social and economic rights." The removal of citizenship for terrorism had been applied by Israel in rare instances prior to the 2008 law but the latest case could pave the way for similar rulings in the future, local media said. In an emergency statement at Holyrood, he apologised to rail passengers who have been affected by disruption. It came on the day commuters faced severe disruption after overhead wiring problems affected services in Glasgow. ScotRail declared a major incident after finding a broken insulator between Partick and Glasgow Central. The rail operator said the issue caused disruption and cancellations between Glasgow Central and Dalmuir, Milngavie and Maryhill. There has been widespread criticism of the reliability of ScotRail trains since Abellio took over the franchise. Abellio has said the terms of the contract meant government ministers were responsible for overcrowding on the network. In the Scottish Parliament, Mr Yousaf admitted that ScotRail's performance was not "up to scratch" but he said it was higher than the UK average. He also outlined a series of actions and investments Scotrail will make. They include an earlier commuter service between Inverness and the central belt, which will begin in mid-December, and the addition of carriages to peak services on the Borders Railway in a bid to reduce overcrowding. The minister said: "Everyone rightly expects a railway network that operates effectively. So when things go wrong I fully understand the dissatisfaction of passengers and the inconvenience that is caused. "Although there are no guarantees major failures won't happen, I give my reassurance that ScotRail has learned lessons and is far better prepared for contingencies, including communication with passengers, when such incidents do take place." He added: "I know about the work that is required and the service that is to be delivered. I am taking action and a plan is now in place. This government has a track record of delivering for our railways and it is my firm intention that we will continue to do so." In his statement, Mr Yousaf also highlighted: ScotRail was ordered to produce a performance improvement plan in September after punctuality and reliability fell below the expected standard. At Holyrood, the minister faced calls to publish the plan in full from Liberal Democrat Mike Rumbles. Mr Yousaf agreed to speak to ScotRail about its publication in the interests of "accountability and transparency". Scottish Labour's transport spokesman Neil Bibby said the rail service has become worse since the improvement plan was demanded. He added: "His handling of the rail crisis has seen him fall out with Abellio, Network Rail and the transport unions. "Humza Yousaf claims he's not a transport expert - and he's right. Humza Yousaf must ditch the spin and publish his 246 point improvement plan in full." Murdo Fraser, of the Scottish Conservatives, said it was time the government started taking responsibility for the railways' poor performance. The latest performance data showed 86% of ScotRail trains were on time or less than five minutes late between 16 October and 12 November, with wide variations in reliability across the country. ScotRail's figures remained better than the average for all UK train operators - with the company also enjoying better than average customer satisfaction figures when the latest data was published earlier this year. But Abellio's contract to run the ScotRail franchise requires the company to ensure 91.3% of trains arrive within five minutes of schedule. The Scottish government can cancel the contract if performance drops to 84.3% for three months in a row. It will see French firm Total take control Denmark's Maersk's assets in the UK sector of the North Sea, including the Culzean gas field. Total said an "exceptional overlap" of businesses would increase its competitiveness through growing assets and annual cost-savings. The deal will require the approval of regulators. Total chairman and chief executive Patrick Pouyanne said: "The combination of Maersk Oil's North Western Europe businesses with our existing portfolio will position Total as the second operator in the North Sea with strong production profiles in UK, Norway and Denmark." Oceanic Properties wants to build the manufacturing plant on the former Vosper Thornycroft shipyard site at Woolston, Southampton. The site, next to the 1,600-home Centenary Quay development, would see wind turbine blades made within the building, then loaded on to ships. Southampton City Council approved the application at a meeting on Tuesday. The proposed 13m (42.6ft) tall 3,147 sq m building would be used for manufacturing 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Under the plans the site's external yard and its cranes can also be used between 07:00 and 19:00, seven days a week and up to 23:00 for some works. The site's proposed working hours raised concerns from residents about noise. Dr Ian White, who lives across the water from the site in Ocean Village, said residents could face "enormous disruption on the noise issue". Robert Sanders director of Blade Dynamics, which is earmarked to move into the the plant, said: "Most of the time the activities will be inside with the doors closed and are generally quiet, residents outside would not generally notice us." The proposals include a 3m-high acoustic fence along Keswick Road to reduce noise from the site. The announcement follows reports that Paddington author Michael Bond, 88, was "totally amazed" at the BBFC's advice. After an approach from the film's distributor the BBFC altered the term "mild sex references" to "innuendo". The film, out in the UK on 28 November, is rated a PG. Ben Whishaw voices the marmalade-loving bear from Darkest Peru in the live-action film, which also stars Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Peter Capaldi and Nicole Kidman as a villainous taxidermist. Bonneville, who plays Mr Brown, told the BBC on Tuesday that he thought it "hilarious" that the BBFC had mentioned "mild sex references" in relation to a scene in which he disguises himself as a cleaning woman and is flirted with by a security guard. "I was scratching my head thinking 'what are the censors talking about?" he said. "There were four and five year olds watching it the other day laughing uproariously, so I don't think it's going to damage any young children - or indeed any 75 year olds." The film's director Paul King said he had expected the BBFC to issue a PG rating. "I'm not surprised about that but I don't think it's a PG for sexiness. That I would find very odd," he said. On Monday, the BBFC classified Paddington a PG with advice the film contained "dangerous behaviour, mild threat, mild sex references, [and] mild bad language". When the decision was published, the film's distributor requested a reconsideration of the description "mild sex references" and more clarity to the frequency of mild bad language. The BBFC said on Tuesday it had revised its wording to "dangerous behaviour, mild threat, innuendo, [and] infrequent mild bad language." It said the mild innuendo included "a comic sequence in which a man disguised as a woman is flirted with by another man". On the language issue it refers to "a single mumbled use of 'bloody'." Michael Bond, who has a cameo appearance in the film, had earlier told the Daily Mail: "I can't imagine what the sex references are. It doesn't enter into it with the books, certainly." Bond's Paddington books have sold 35 million copies worldwide since they were first published in 1958. John McCafferty, 73, died on Tuesday, 33 years after his operation. Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub performed Mr McCafferty's transplant at Harefield Hospital, west London, on 20 October 1982. Sir Magdi said surgeons did not know at the time "how long patients [could] survive after transplantation". Live: Heart transplant patient wanted to be an 'inspiration' Mr McCafferty lived in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, but was originally from Shotts in North Lanarkshire. He had been diagnosed at 39 with dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle. He was told he had five years to live when he received the transplant. But in 2013 he was recognised as the world's longest surviving heart transplant patient by Guinness World Records. Sir Magdi said the five-year prognosis had been estimated. "John showed quite clearly that people can survive in excess of 30 years... so that's remarkable," Sir Magdi said. "It shows how transplantation can give life and that's entirely due to the generosity of the British public, the donor family that is." The British Heart Foundation said more than three-quarters of heart transplant patients lived for more than five years. Mr McCafferty's widow Ann said the years they had together after his heart transplant were "brilliant". But she said: "He was in pain for the last three years of his life and was taken to hospital in Milton Keynes on 27 January. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to return home." What is a heart transplant? Source: British Heart Foundation / BBC Judges said German company TUV Rheinland, which certified the implants, must pay 3,000 euros (£2,470) in interim damages to each claimant. Last year, the firm was found jointly liable with France's PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) over the global health scare. The scandal broke in 2010 after many of the implants ruptured. Jean-Claude Mas, the founder of PIP, was handed a four-year jail sentence and fined 75,000 euros in December. Q&A: Breast implants health scare The court ruled that his company had used sub-standard silicone gel - rather than medical-grade silicone - causing many of the implants to split. Apart from Mas, four other former PIP executives were convicted and given lesser sentences, in one of the biggest trials in French legal history. Throughout his hearing, Mas had denied the silicone used was harmful, while all but one of the other defendants said they had not been aware of the risks. Tuesday's ruling will be significant for thousands of women worldwide who cannot afford to have their PIP implants removed, the BBC's Christian Fraser reports. TUV had appealed against having to pay interim damages to victims, until its appeal against the ruling that it shared responsibility with PIP was heard later this year. Last year, six implant distributors and 1,700 women brought a class action against TUV Rheinland, arguing that anything but a cursory inspection would have found problems. TUV Rheinland rejected the ruling on the grounds that it was itself a victim of fraud. If TUV Rheinland loses its appeal later in the year, as many as 400,000 women worldwide could join the case. Lawyers are seeking a total compensation of 16,000 euros per victim, opening the company to a potential bill of some 6bn euros. The health scare came to public attention when the French government recommended that women have PIP implants removed due to an abnormally high rupture rate. There was confusion as British health authorities said there was no need for routine removal. However, they later agreed to remove the implants to put women's minds at rest. France's Health Products Agency (ANSM) has to date registered more than 7,500 implant ruptures and 3,000 cases of undesirable effects, mainly inflammations, among the 30,000 women using PIP products in France. In a report released last June, the ANSM said such incidents tended to be under-reported, and so "the number of women actually explanted may be greater than the number of cases reported to the agency". When an implant ruptures, the silicone gel filling can leak into the body. Some women will not notice anything at all, and there is no evidence of an increased cancer risk. He had been in a coma since Sunday after being admitted to the cardiac surgery unit of a hospital in Rome, according to the reports. His 1974 work A Special Day, which he wrote and directed, received Best Foreign Film and Best Actor nominations for star Marcello Mastroianni. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said Scola was a screen "master". His death left a "huge void in Italian culture", Mr Renzi tweeted (in Italian). Scola directed 41 films and wrote the screenplay for almost 90, according to the Internet Movie Database. He performed both roles in A Special Day, which saw Mastroianni and Sophia Loren develop a relationship against the backdrop of fascist 1930s Italy. Other works include We All Loved Each Other So Much, The Family and Ugly, Dirty and Bad - for which he won best director at the Cannes film festival in 1976. The Storyhouse was completed following a two-and-a-half-year project to transform the city's former Odeon cinema. It has opened its doors after the Gateway Theatre closed in 2007 leaving no other dedicated venue for performances in the city. The new theatre retains the character of the Grade II listed building. As well as the 800-capacity auditorium, it features a library, independent cinema, restaurant and rooftop bar. Funded by Cheshire West and Chester Council and Arts Council England, it has become the largest public building in the city, next to the cathedral and town hall. Chief executive Andrew Bentley said: "We're thrilled to finally bring back a theatre to Chester after a decade-long absence. "We've retained all the beautiful art deco features of the original building and also added a brilliant extension." The shooting took place as masked men raided the premises in Digbeth, central Birmingham, on Wednesday evening, said police. Akhtar Javeed, aged 56, was found lying in the road. He was taken to hospital but pronounced dead a short time later. Police believe two men were involved. The robbery was at a business premises in Rea Street, near the junction with MacDonald Street. BBC correspondent Peter Wilson said Mr Javeed was believed to be a company director at Direct Source 3 and was found by police after he had been shot. Other staff are thought to have been on the premises at the time of the raid. Police said they did not yet know what type of a firearm was used. Mr Javeed's family have been informed. More on this story and others from Birmingham and Black Country Act Det Ch Insp Martin Slevin said the raid took place at 18:40 GMT, at a time when people may have been leaving work and could have seen what happened. "If you have any information that could help our investigation, please get in touch as soon as possible," he said. Direct Source 3 is a fast food, retail and catering business. A post-mortem examination is being arranged. There has been a spike in gun crime in Birmingham in recent weeks . Police have said it is of "great concern". So far this year there have been 41 arrests for gun-related crime and 19 firearms have been seized. This is the third gun-related death investigated by West Midlands Police since October. The bus was returning from the Amarnath Cave pilgrimage site in the Anantnag district when the attack took place. Police told the BBC the target appeared to be a nearby counter-insurgency base. The attack, which also left 19 injured, is likely to heighten tensions in the disputed region. Hardline Hindu groups linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party have long wanted to see tough action against the armed revolt against Indian rule in the Muslim-majority region. Amid emotional scenes at the police line in Anantnag, many pilgrims who survived the attack say they are lucky to be alive. The district hospital was full of injured survivors. The owner of the bus, Harsh Desai, was among the injured. "I saw five to six gunmen right in front of our bus. They were firing indiscriminately and throwing stones at our bus. I told the driver not to stop and just keep driving," he told the BBC. Nearly all the survivors praised the driver, who did not stop the vehicle and got them to safety, only stopping near an army convoy 2km (1.24 miles) away. Many say that without him, the death toll would have been much higher. An elderly woman said her sister who was sitting next to her and a man behind her both died in the attack, though she did not suffer any injuries. News of the attack has already sparked anger with people demanding immediate retaliation on behalf of the pilgrims, most of whom came from Gujarat, Mr Modi's home state. Mr Modi tweeted he was "pained beyond words", adding: "India will never get bogged down by such cowardly attacks and the evil designs of hate." The attack has also been condemned by separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani, whose spokesman called it "an act of terror", while outlawed armed group Lashkar-e-Toiba distanced itself from the attack, saying "it was aimed at bringing a bad name to the Kashmiri movement". Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who stayed overnight with the wounded, all of whom were out of danger, promised that her forces "would not spare" those involved. The attack comes after some hardline separatist leaders said they welcomed the pilgrims - about 100,000 of whom have already completed the journey - as their fight is not with ordinary Indians. One police source told the BBC the bus was not properly registered, and should have been off the road by the time of the attack, at 20:20 local time (14:50 GMT) on Monday. Wales and Iceland have excelled in the competition despite this being the first time they have qualified. Wales face Portugal on Wednesday in the semi-final, while hosts France eliminated Iceland in the last eight. "I think there will be a boom in those countries and we will see more kids there playing football," said Kallen. Northern Ireland, Albania and Slovakia also appeared in the competition for the first time. "People were anxious the format might not work but it has worked," Kallen said. "We have seen two teams going further than anybody believed they would and that's positive." Some have criticised the new format and the defensive approach taken by teams relying on draws to get through the group stage as a best third-paced side. However, that also contributed to the exciting conclusion to the group stages with most teams needing points to qualify, typified by Iceland's thrilling late victory against Austria. The new format will be in place for Euro 2020, which will be hosted throughout Europe, and Kallen said it could also be adopted beyond that. Owen Newbury, 18, admitted racially aggravated harassment following Everton's first goal in the fourth round tie at Brunton Park in January. Newbury, of Skinburness Drive, Silloth, was given a five-year banning order at Carlisle Magistrates' Court. He was also ordered to carry out 140 hours of community service. She is accused of directing the artillery fire in which the two journalists died. It was initially thought the judge had found her guilty, but journalists say a final verdict has not yet been delivered. Ukraine and some Western countries have condemned the case as a show trial. The two Russian state TV journalists Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin were killed in mortar fire in June 2014, at the height of fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels. On the same day, Ms Savchenko, 34, was captured by rebels. Ms Savchenko, a pilot by training, is accused of having acted as an artillery spotter on the ground. She denies the charges. Her has argued phone records prove she was captured by rebels before the attack. Ms Savchenko had arrived in the area a few days previously to join the volunteer Aidar battalion, loyal to the Ukrainian government. According to her lawyers, she was captured by rebel militants on the morning of 17 June whilst trying to reach several Aidar fighters who had been wounded in an ambush. Ms Savchenko says her captors then took her into Russia, but prosecutors say she secretly crossed into Russian territory herself. Ukraine resistance symbol in Russia Caught in the middle of a media war 'A symbol of defiance and hope' Reading the verdict, the judge in the Russian town of Donetsk quoted prosecutors as saying Ms Savchenko had been driven by "political hatred". The prosecution has called for Ms Savchenko - who was elected as a Ukrainian MP in her absence following her capture - to be jailed for 23 years. Any sentence will be delivered by the court on Tuesday, after an eventual verdict has been handed down. Earlier, one of her lawyers said there was "no doubt" that the court would find Ms Savchenko guilty and sentence her to a "few dozen years". "A propaganda machine is at work here, absent of justice and freedom," said Mark Feigin on Twitter. Western politicians have called for her release. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has said she should be freed "immediately and unconditionally" while the US envoy to the UN, Samantha Power, described the trial as "farcical". Relations between Russia and Ukraine - along with its Western allies - have deteriorated since the events of 2014 in Ukraine. Moscow annexed the Crimean peninsula that March after an unrecognised referendum on self-determination, and is accused of covertly supporting the rebels in the bloody conflict which later divided eastern Ukraine. The Archbishop of Canterbury made the comments as he defended the decision to restrict a liberal US branch of the Church for allowing same-sex marriage. He said it was not for Anglican leaders to "divide the Church" and that union would be "painful as well as joyful". But he added it was a "constant source of deep sadness that people are persecuted for their sexuality". His comments followed an agreement between Anglican leaders on measures to curb the US Episcopal Church, including barring it from decision-making for three years. The agreement - made at a four-day meeting of 39 Anglican primates in Canterbury - also upheld a "traditional doctrine" of marriage as being between a man and a woman. Episcopal leaders and campaigners have criticised the decision, with people gathering to protest at Canterbury Cathedral. The head of the Episcopal Church, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight, the experience of the gay and lesbian community was similar to that of African-Americans, adding: "Even after emancipation there were those who were excluded and segregated." Anglicans have been divided on the issue of homosexuality and same-sex marriage since the US Episcopal Church ordained an openly gay bishop in 2003. Leaders said that stance was a "fundamental departure" from the faith of the majority in what is the world's third largest Christian denomination. Speaking at the Primates 2016 conference, Archbishop Welby said facing protesters, particularly those from Africa, was a reminder of the "pain and suffering of many LGBTI (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex) people around the world". He said: "For me it's a constant source of deep sadness, the number of people who are persecuted for their sexuality. "I don't have the right to speak for everyone. I wanted to take this opportunity to say how sorry I am for the hurt and pain, in the past and present, the Church has caused." But defending the decision to curb the US Episcopal Church, he said the "unity shown by the primates" was "going to be painful as well as joyful and remarkable". "It is not for us to divide the body of Christ, it is not for us to divide the Church," he said. The rift over the US Episcopal Church's stance on same-sex marriage and homosexuality dates back to the ordination of openly gay Canon Gene Robinson. He was made a bishop of the Episcopal Church's New Hampshire diocese in 2003. More than 100 senior Anglicans had used an open letter less than a week ago to urge the Church of England to repent for "discriminating" against lesbian and gay Christians. However, the Anglican leaders in Canterbury said the Episcopal Church's approval of gay marriage was "a fundamental departure from the faith and teaching" of the majority of Anglicans. The Anglican leader denied suggestions the US Church was being sanctioned but said it was facing "consequences" and said the decision was supported by the "overwhelming majority" of Anglican primates. Asked if the Church's position made it look outdated, he admitted it would in some parts of the world but not others. He said: "It makes us look out of line in the US and UK, yes, but not in many other parts of the world, no. "We are a global Church and that means that there are different views in different places." He also said the mistreatment of gay people in some countries, especially those where homosexuality is criminalised, remained a "major concern". BBC religious affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt There was an atmosphere of significant mistrust at this meeting, perhaps hardly surprising given the animosity of the past years between the most traditionalist of the provinces and the most liberal. The disagreement over Anglican doctrine regarding same sex marriage is probably a more fundamental one than the divisions that raged over female priests. But the subtext of the meeting has been the power struggle just beneath the surface over who should lead the Anglican communion in the future - the countries of the global south, where congregations are growing, represented in part by Global Anglican Future (GAFCON) or Canterbury, its traditional leadership based in an increasingly secular global north where congregations have been in decline for many years. Through diplomacy and negotiation - and a tight media blackout which succeeded until almost the last day - the Anglican Communion has pulled through as one, for now. The careful wording of the resolution agreed by the majority of primates ensured there was no mention of the words "sanction" or "punishment", although the strength of feeling about the Episcopal Church's unilateral action was abundantly clear. Nonetheless, even as GAFCON welcomed the deal, its leadership added that: "This action must not be seen as an end, but as a beginning." So even though the Anglican Communion has not "moved into separate bedrooms", as some had expected, it is continuing to live in a deeply divided household. Read more from Caroline Wyatt here The Global Anglican Future Conference (Gafcon), which represents conservative Anglican leaders worldwide, said it was pleased by the outcome but said "this action must not be seen as an end, but as a beginning". But Presiding Bishop Michael Curry told BBC Radio 4's World Tonight that the decision would bring "great pain" to gay and lesbian members of the Anglican Communion. He said: "Those who are baptised followers of Jesus - whether they are straight gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered - if they're committed to following the way of Jesus, they should have equal access to all of the services and sacraments in the life of the Church." He also defended the decision of the Episcopal Church to change the canon to allow for same-sex couples to be married in church. "Obviously it's a serious disagreement. We believe the decision we've taken is the right one and they've expressed their displeasure and disagreement and we respect that." Other gay Christians and supporters of equal marriage were critical of the decision. Labour MP and former Anglican minister Chris Bryant, who is gay, said: "I've finally given up on Anglican church today after its love-empty decision on sexuality. "One day it will seem wrong as supporting slavery." Archbishop Welby is to appoint a task group to rebuild trust in the Anglican Communion. Anglicans, whose roots are in the missionary work of the Church of England, are the third-largest grouping of Christians in the world, behind Roman Catholics and the Orthodox. Streets are being newly paved in Havana and the cathedral is being renovated. On the city's iconic Revolution Square, where Pope Francis will celebrate a Mass on Sunday, workers have been building a huge altar and stands for the congregation and choir. Pope Francis will spend four days in Cuba before flying to the US, on his first visits to both countries. Similar makeovers are taking place in other Cuban cities on the Pope's itinerary. Workers in Havana have re-laid the cobbled streets where the Pope mobile will pass and have upgraded the traffic lights. The airport terminal where the Pope will arrive has also been renovated. In the city of Holguin where the pope will celebrate Mass on Monday, the cathedral has been repaired and repainted. Officials say nearly 1,000 Cuban and foreign journalists are expected to cover the visit. On Thursday the Vatican said it hoped Pope Francis's visit would help bring to an end the 53-year-old US embargo and lead to more freedom and human rights on the island. The Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin said the Vatican hoped for "a flowering of these fundamental aspects for the life of persons and peoples". The Pope himself praised Cubans' "spirit" in the face of adversity. "It does me a lot of good and helps me to think of your faith in the Lord, of the spirit with which you confront the difficulties of each day," he said in a message relayed on Cuban state television. Pope Francis's trip will also take him to the US. The thaw in relations between Cuba and the US in recent months is partly due to his crucial mediation between Havana and Washington - something Mr Castro thanked the Pope for during a visit to the Vatican in May. On Friday the US announced eased restrictions on business and travel with Cuba, the latest move by President Barack Obama to improve relations with the country.

If convicted, the men could face the death penalty. A sixth suspect, who is thought to be 17, is expected to be tried by a juvenile court. The case has shocked India and sparked a debate about the treatment of women. On Sunday, the victim's mother condemned public figures who implied her daughter had brought it on herself. In an interview with the BBC, she said those who criticised Indian women for adopting Western dress and lifestyles were "sexist and irresponsible" and were in effect condoning rape. The physiotherapy student, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and a male friend were attacked on a bus in south Delhi on 16 December. Police said the assailants beat both of them, and then raped the woman. She suffered massive internal injuries and died nearly two weeks later. By Andrew NorthSouth Asia correspondent The start of the trial at the Saket court complex in Delhi was delayed for more than an hour as defence lawyers argued that it should be open to the media. The judge rejected their request and said it should be held behind closed doors. After receiving the charge sheet, the judge adjourned the trial until 24 January, when opening arguments will be heard. The defendants have been named as Ram Singh and his brother Mukesh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur. The sixth suspect claims to be a juvenile and his case is being handled separately. Lawyers for two of the suspects have said they will plead not guilty. It is unclear how the other three accused will plead. Prosecutors say they have extensive forensic evidence linking all six men to the crime. It is supported by the suspects' mobile-phone records and the testimony of the dying woman and her friend, they add. Do 'fast track' courts work? However, defence lawyers told the Reuters news agency that they were preparing to argue that the forensic evidence had been fabricated. They also said the trial was unsafe because police had rushed the investigation into the crime as a result of the public outrage. Two of the four defence lawyers had said their clients were beaten in custody and forced to make confessions which were suspiciously similar. Officials have declined to comment, citing legal restrictions. The defence is also expected to argue that the men were denied legal aid for several weeks. The lawyer for Ram Singh, VK Anand, said he would ask to move the trial out of the capital because of the media attention. "We are sure we will not get justice in Delhi," he added. The brutal assault on the 23-year-old student has led to nationwide protests against the treatment of women in India. Campaigners have called for tougher rape laws and reforms to the police have been accused of too often failing to file charges against attackers. The government has promised to fast-track future rape cases. Legal proceedings in India sometimes involve years of delays. As well as the one sitting at Saket, five other fast-track courts are being set up in Delhi to allow crimes against women to be dealt with swiftly. There are believed to be about 95,000 rape cases pending nationwide, according to Ranjana Kumari, a women's activist and director of the Centre for Social Research. "'We need a system in which women can get justice quickly. Otherwise, in the normal course of things, it can take 10 or 12 or 14 years for cases to be taken up by the court. That is tantamount to denying justice to the victim," she told the Associated Press. The government has also said that it will bring in stronger sexual assault laws and has established several committees to recommend changes. Jamie Hodson, from Wigan, was fatally injured in the Dundrod 150 on 10 August after an incident at the Joey's Windmill section. The 35-year-old Englishman won the Supertwins MGP race in 2016 which is held on the Isle of Man TT course. A service will be held at St Ninian's Church in Douglas on 23 August. A church spokesman said it is being held with the "kind permission of the Hodson family" and conducted by the Rev John Coldwell. He added that a "celebration of Jamie's life" will also be held in his home town of Wigan and all are welcome at both. Jamie's brother Rob Hodson was also involved in the crash but not seriously hurt. The National race was immediately red-flagged and the Hodson brothers were taken to hospital after being treated at the scene. Jamie Hodson's death was later announced shortly after 22:00 BST. The opening practice session for the 2017 Festival of Motorcycling, which includes the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT, will be held on Saturday. The train drivers' union Aslef said its 24-hour action would start at 21:30 BST on Wednesday. London Underground (LU) had offered four unions a deal aimed at improving work-life balance. BBC London correspondent Karl Mercer said all four unions had rejected the offer as talks continued. The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has also rejected the deal while Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) is yet to make official its response to the offer. Unite previously said its action "would go ahead". Talks are being held at conciliatory service Acas. LU said the new offer included an extra £200 per night Tube shift for drivers and a £500 bonus for station staff by next February as well as a further guarantees for a 32-hour, four-day week. After a short transition period while the service is introduced, drivers will have the choice whether to work nights, said LU, and everyone will be entitled to two days off in seven. But Aslef said LU should postpone the planned launch of the all-night Tube on 12 September so further negotiations could be held. It said the new deal was "completely inflexible", leaving it with "no other choice" than to walk out. Finn Brennan from the union said the main concern was the "complete lack of firm commitments on work life balance for train drivers" and the number of weekend rest days they would get. The RMT said it had also rejected the "re-packaged" offer, saying its reps were "furious" when they examined details of the proposed deal. It said: "They are a re-hash of previous plans and would continue along the course of smashing up long-standing agreements and destroying work-life balance." LU's managing director Nick Brown said he was "hugely disappointed" the unions had rejected the "very fair" offer for "pretty thin" reasons, but that LU remained open to further talks. Transport for London (TfL) has warned that Tube services will stop running at 18:30 BST on Wednesday, with services "exceptionally busy" from 16:30 BST. There will be no Tube services all day on Thursday. The action follows a strike that closed the entire network at the beginning of July after the unions rejected an offer which included a 2% rise this year and £2,000 for drivers on the weekend night Tube service. A judge granted the Law Society and Bar Council leave to seek a judicial review of Justice Minister David Ford's rules. The hearing is scheduled to take place in September. A barrister representing the two bodies said the reduced payments did not give lawyers fair reward for their work to ensure defendants got a fair trial. "They will have a devastating impact on the criminal justice system both now and in the future," said Karen Quinlivan QC. "Our concern is it will lead to an erosion in due course of advocacy and representation." She added: "If we are successful we will be seeking to quash retrospectively the unlawful rules." Mr Ford, who is facing cuts to his departmental budget along with other Northern Ireland Executive ministers, introduced new rules this month that reduce the legal aid payments available to lawyers who undertake criminal case work. Earlier this week, barristers who are part of the Criminal Bar Association withdrew from all new criminal cases requiring legal aid, in protest against the reduced payments. A barrister for the minister told the court he had received 2,000 pages of legal exhibits as part of the challenge, with further documentation from a forensic accountant's report still to come. Seeking six weeks to assess the material, Tony McGleenan QC said: "We have quite a substantial body of work in responding to this." Granting leave to seek a judicial review, the judge agreed to list the case for a full, week-long hearing in September. In a statement, Mr Ford said he would be "robustly defending the legal challenge". "The levels of remuneration were set following detailed analysis; adjusted following consultation; and have been through the legislative process," he said. "Given that this challenge is now before the courts, I will not be making any further public comment on the issue until the legal process is completed. "However, my department will monitor the impact the withdrawal of services will have on the courts and they will engage with all sectors of the justice system to try to mitigate any impact on defendants, victims and witnesses."

The 2016 Visually Impaired and Blind National Tennis Championships take place at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton on 15-16 October. The away team took the lead two minutes after half-time when Luke Leahy was able to slot home a James Wilson cross. The lead was cancelled out when Pitman's powerful penalty beat the outstretching arms of Mark Gillespie. Walsall captain Adam Chambers was lucky to stay on the pitch after his reckless tackle on Portsmouth's Adam May in the second minute and had the home fans calling for a red card. Referee Brett Huxtable disagreed and only awarded a yellow. Both teams were attacking but both failed to break the deadlock. Walsall could have taken an early lead but Leahy saw his 30-yard powerful shot fly wide of the goal. Pompey had to wait until the 31st minute for their best effort of the first half.

Inspectors who visited Leicester City Council found children were "at risk of harm" with managers "ineffective" in making improvements. Earlier this month, the department boss was sacked and the assistant mayor resigned after problems came to light. A new director has since been appointed and an independent improvement board established to monitor progress. During an inspection in January, Ofsted found areas including children leaving care and children in need of help and protection were inadequate. The Leicester Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) was also rated inadequate for failing to spot the authority's problems. Inspectors said failures in leadership and a poorly managed restructure led to services deteriorating and a backlog of 293 cases. The report said: "Too many children have experienced delay because of numerous changes of social worker or because they have not had a social worker allocated to them in a timely manner. "As a result, children remain in potentially harmful and unsafe situations, at risk of neglect and emotional abuse for too long before plans are put in place to reduce the harm they may experience. "Weak and inconsistent management oversight leaves poor practice unchallenged and children's needs unmet." Problems began after a departmental reorganisation in May during which 30 out of 62 social workers left. That lead to increased workloads for those remaining and cases left unallocated. City mayor, Sir Peter Soulsby said he only became aware of "the crisis" in December and, after an internal review, sacked department head Elaine McHale. Assistant mayor, Vi Dempster, who had overall responsibility for the department, then stepped down. She previously said: "As far as I was concerned the situation was fragile but it was being managed. "Somebody must have known somewhere in the organisation that there was a backlog ..... and the situation was not as I was being told." Ofcom said customers could avoid an awkward and long call to their operator and instead send a text. In turn, they will be sent switching codes. The proposal means Ofcom's previously preferred option - a more simple one-stage process - is being dropped. That system was more expensive and could have raised bills, it said. The change of preferred plan marks a victory for mobile operators who would have faced higher costs under the alternative system. Ofcom said its research suggested customers would also prefer the new planned system. At present, anyone who wishes to switch to a different mobile provider must contact their current supplier to tell them they are leaving. Ofcom research suggests that, of those who have switched, some 38% have been hit by one major problem during the process. One in five of them temporarily lost their service, while one in 10 had difficulties contacting their current supplier or keeping their phone number. Under previous plans, Ofcom wanted responsibility for the switch being placed entirely in the hands of the new provider. That would mean one call to a new provider by the customer. The regulator has now concluded that such a system would be twice as expensive as its newly-preferred option of texting to switch. They would text, then receive a text back, which includes a unique code to pass on to their new provider who could arrange the switch within one working day. Customers would be able to follow this process whether they were taking their mobile number with them or not. Under the proposed rules, mobile providers would be banned from charging for notice periods running after the switch date. That would mean customers would no longer have to pay for their old and new service at the same time after they have switched. A final decision will be made in the autumn. Latest figures published last year showed that there were an estimated 47 million mobile phone contracts in the UK, and approximately 5.9 million people had never switched provider at all, nor considered switching in the previous year.

An American and a Mexican citizen were both arrested and convicted of theft. The painting, which used to be on display in a museum in Caracas, was replaced by a fake but the switch took years to discover. It was exchanged for a bad copy sometime between 1999 and 2002 but it was not until 2003 that officials at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas realised what had happened. The original was found by US undercover agents in a hotel room in Miami. "The work is in extraordinary condition, with only slight imperfections on the edges, but it is fine," said Joel Espinoza, an official with Venezuela's attorney general's office. The painting was flown back and arrived in Venezuela on Monday where it will go on public display in two weeks time. Painted in 1925, Odalisque in Red Pants has been valued at more than $3m. It was bought by the Venezuelan government from a gallery in New York in 1981. US based McCormick & Co is paying $4.2bn for the business, which includes French's mustard.

When browsing the internet, certificates are designed to ensure the communication between a computer and web server is secure. Google said it would no longer accept certificates issued by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) following a security lapse. The CNNIC said Google's decision was "unacceptable and unintelligible". The CNNIC is responsible for providing certificates for websites with .cn domain names, as well as Chinese-language domains - including banks and government sites. It means users of Google's Chrome browser will see a warning notice when trying to access sites with CNNIC certificates. It will state that the website the user is attempting to access may be unsecure. Google discovered last month that unauthorised security certificates were issued to several of its own domains. After an investigation, conducted with the help of the CNNIC, it became clear that there was a problem with MCS Holdings, a Cairo-based firm contracted by the CNNIC to provide certificates. Google said domains with security certificates issued by MCS Holdings were vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks - a method of hacking that involves intercepting communications between, for example, a person's computer and a web server. MCS Holdings has said the problem was an accident and was due to human error. While Google welcomed the CNNIC's help with the investigation, it said the regulator had "delegated their substantial authority to an organisation that was not fit to hold it". As a result, Google has decided to no longer trust domains with certificates issued by, or on behalf of, the CNNIC. Users will be presented with a warning screen before being asked if they want to proceed to the "unsecure" site. However, there will be some exceptions. Google has offered a grace period to some major CNNIC-approved sites - such as banks - so they can obtain certificates from a different issuing authority. The search giant said the CNNIC was welcome to reapply for trusted status "once suitable technical and procedural controls are in place". But in a statement posted on Thursday, the regulator expressed anger, saying: "The decision that Google has made is unacceptable and unintelligible. "CNNIC sincerely urge that Google would take users' rights and interests into full consideration." The pair were part of the coaching set-up at Loftus Road under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who was sacked as manager on 5 November. The R's reappointed Ian Holloway as boss on Friday and the 53-year-old is set to bring in his own backroom staff. Performance consultant Chris Barnes has also left the Championship club. "Ian has come in and as with any managerial appointment, they have their own ideas about how they see their staffing working out," Rangers director of football Les Ferdinand told the club website. "Needless to say, he's keen to add to his backroom staff and we'll confirm any appointments as and when they're official." The MWC is hoping to open the "all-inclusive and fully accessible" mosque in the city. It said the space would be "for all communities and managed by women, primarily for women". The event is at the Carlisle Business Centre and runs until 15:30 BST. Guests include Shuruq Naguib, a lecturer in Islamic studies at Lancaster University and co-chair of the British Association for Islamic Studies, and Shaykh Akram Nadwi, a dean of Cambridge Islamic College and former research fellow at Oxford University. The MWC said it aimed "to ensure that Muslim women have the space to discuss issues that affect them and their families in their daily lives in an environment that is open to everyone". Media playback is not supported on this device The Englishman high-fived spectators as he walked down the 18th and his one-under 70 left him on five under, seven adrift of leader Henrik Stenson. "It's been amazing," said the 27-year-old. "It's been such great fun. "The two in front are quite far ahead. But you can dream. We'll just have to go out and see what happens." The two in front at Royal Troon are Swede Stenson, who is chasing his first Open title, and American Phil Mickelson, second on 11 under. Nicknamed 'Beef' while playing junior golf, affable Londoner Johnston will play alongside American Bill Haas, who is six under, in the penultimate pairing on Sunday. Playing in only his second Open, the hugely entertaining Johnston's rapidly growing popularity is down to his unique interaction with the crowds, as well as the media. The American press in particular have taken a real shine to him, concentrating on his nightly meal plans. Johnston, who is the leading Englishman, said: "When I was asked on TV on Friday what I was going to have for tea, I said 'Caesar salad', so I had one bloke screaming 'Caesar salad' at me for the first six holes. It was hilarious. "Actually, I had a pizza in the end. Just a 10-inch one. I like Caesar salad. I just don't tend to choose it." But their line of questioning that he might be a bit of a 'salad dodger', when asking about the size of the pizza he'd had, got perhaps a bit too personal at one point. One asked: "How much do you weigh?" A surprised but nonetheless sportingly unflustered, Johnston brought the house down by replying: "I don't know. Do you want to pick me up?" The daily cries of 'Beeef' whenever he holes a putt or plays a good shot have acted as a catalyst. "I guess I'm just a down-to-earth bloke who likes to talk to people. You want people to go home with good memories. I'll chat to anyone from anywhere, as long as they're nice people who are nice to me." The chirpy, lovable Johnston, who comes from a quarter Jamaican background, has already made it clear that he will answer a question on virtually any subject with a smile on his face. On his beard, he admitted that his girlfriend "wants me to shave it off, as it's getting a bit long". He added: "I'll have a tidy-up next week. I've been growing it since the Portugal Masters last October." On reading bedtime stories and playing games with his niece, who is over from Florida with his sister, he said: "They wanted to come over and see me play in France and I went to the Bridgestone Invitational instead. "But then I got her into the US Open and she's come here too, so I think she's had a good deal." He also admitted that he almost welled up "when I chipped in at 14" because he could see his mum crying. "That got me going. I had to turn away, and say to myself: "Don't look at mum." Johnston's biggest career pay cheque was the £333,330 he picked up for winning the Spanish Open in May. If he can finish fourth or higher on Sunday, he will better that. The prize pot at Royal Troon offers £337,000 for fourth, £433,000 for third, £675,000 for second, and a winner's cheque of £1.175m. Although none of that would compare, of course, to winning the silver Claret Jug. We've launched a new BBC Sport newsletter, bringing all the best stories, features and video right to your inbox.

The record is now the second fastest-selling release of the year, after David Bowie's Blackstar, which shifted 146,000 copies in January. Little Mix have also achieved the highest first-week figure for a UK girl group since The Spice Girls' Spiceworld notched up 192,000 sales in 1997. Metallica's Hard Wired... To Self Destruct has entered at number two, while Bruno Mars's 24K Magic has debuted at three. Just below them, at number four, is Michael Ball and Alfie Boe's album of duets, Together, which has been certified gold in just two weeks, denoting 100,000 copies sold. Other new entries come from UB40, whose unplugged album has landed at number 17, while YouTube singer-songwriter Dodie has crept into the chart at 35 with her debut album Intertwined. Elsewhere, Adele's 25 has climbed 10 places to number 23, thanks in part to the album being discounted by some retailers. Last week's number one, 24 Hrs by Olly Murs, has dropped to six in this week's countdown. In the singles chart, Clean Bandit have fought off a challenge for the number one spot from US hip-hop act Rae Sremmurd. The Cambridge-based dance act have notched up a third week at number one with Rockabye, a dancehall song about a single mother struggling to support her baby. It has notched up more downloads (31,000) and streams (4.3 million) than any other track this week, forcing Rae Sremmurd's Black Beatles into the runner-up's position. There have been minor shuffles elsewhere in the top 10, with Maroon 5's Don't Wanna Know reversing its sales decline to reach number five, a new peak. Lower down, R&B star The Weeknd has scored two new entries, led by the Daft Punk-featuring I Feel It Coming at number 18. The title track of his new album Starboy enjoys a comfortable eighth week inside the top 10 at number eight. Other new entries have come from DJ Tom Zanetti, whose single You Want Me has jumped from 72 to 24, while dance act Sigma have scored a collaborative hit with folk singer Birdy. Their song Find Me has made its first top 40 appearance at 36. Finally, John Legend has scored his sixth top 40 single with Love Me Now, which has climbed eight places to number 37.

The band had been at number four in the midweek charts, as newcomers Wolf Alice outsold the competition with their debut, My Love Is Cool. But in the end, Florence won the race by just 528 copies. Their album, How Big How Blue How Beautiful, had previously debuted at number one last month. Led by singer Florence Welch, the band were promoted to Glastonbury headliners two weeks ago when Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg. Their Pyramid Stage set was rapturously received, with the Telegraph's Neil McCormick calling it "a real moment of rock communion" and "pop music of the very highest order". Wolf Alice, a four-piece led by singer and guitarist Ellie Roswell, also played Glastonbury this weekend, playing a blistering set on the Park Stage. Their record was the only new entry in the top five, with last week's number one - Drones by Muse - dropping to third place; and Taylor Swift's 1989 climbing to number four after a week of shows in the UK. Ed Sheeran's X was at number five, racking up an impressive 53 consecutive weeks in the Top 10, while art-pop quartet Everything Everything earned their second Top 10 album with Get To Heaven landing at number seven. In the singles chart, rapper Tinie Tempah scored his sixth number one with Not Letting Go, a duet with Jess Glynne. The song, which the star says was inspired by a "romance I had last summer," is his first solo number one in five years, after his second album failed to reach the heights of his debut. However, he has remained in the limelight with chart-topping verses on Rita Ora's RIP and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's Crazy Stupid Love. Tinie Tempah's single dethroned Jason Derulo, whose single Want To Want Me had been number one for four weeks. The US artist dropped to number three, behind Belgian dance producer Lost Frequencies, who rose 44 places to enter the chart at number 2, with Are You With Me. Other new entries came from Flo Rida, James Bay, Duke Dumont and former X Factor contestants Stereo Kicks.

Scotland's largest teaching union, the EIS, will ballot its members but has recommended approval of the offer while the SSTA has "reluctantly" accepted it. The proposed deal may also see changes to how supply teachers are paid. And there will be a written commitment on attempting to manage teachers' workload. The EIS had warned of the risk of industrial action over pay of the issue was not resolved. As part of the proposed deal, a letter will go out to councils confirming that they can choose to pay supply teachers at the full daily rate from the first day of their work. Some councils have experienced shortages of supply teachers - with critics claiming one reason for this is that they are paid less for short engagements. EIS General Secretary Larry Flanagan said: "Clearly, the pay element of this offer is disappointing and falls short of EIS aspirations. The continued austerity measures of the UK government have created a situation where an offer of 2.5% over two years is the most that Cosla, as the employers' side, was prepared to offer. "However, the non-pay elements of the offer, including a commitment to address supply teaching issues, an agreed set of principles and action on managing teacher workload and, crucially, a separate commitment from the Scottish government on maintaining teacher numbers in year two of the deal, offer more positive developments which establish the basis for a potentially workable agreement. "However, should members vote to reject the offer then the question of industrial action will be considered." Teachers are employed by councils but pay and conditions are agreed nationally. The offer also covers teachers employed by councils, including Glasgow, which are no longer members of the council umbrella body Cosla. SSTA General Secretary Seamus Searson said: "Teachers have been getting Curriculum for Excellence into classrooms over the last eight years. Throughout this time they have seen the real value of their salaries reduced. Teachers have toiled to introduce a new range of experiences and outcomes in S1 to S3. "For the last three years they have been putting a huge amount of their own time into new S4 to S6 qualifications. There is more assessment than ever. Attainment levels are rising. Record numbers of youngsters passed their Higher exams this year. It is disappointing that the value of teachers is not properly recognised." Cosla spokesman Billy Hendry said: "It has been a long and protracted negotiation on the different elements of the teachers' pay and conditions claim but we got there in the end. "I am delighted that we have reached an agreement and that the teaching unions will make a recommendation to accept the Cosla pay offer. "We value each and every member of the local government workforce, no less so our teachers who are doing a great job delivering high quality education to children and young people across the length and breadth of Scotland." Some apps such as WhatsApp use end-to-end encryption, making messages unreadable if intercepted. Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has warned that encrypted messaging apps could be used by criminals and terrorists. But security experts say strong encryption protects citizens' privacy. Many countries, including Australia, have laws in place that can force messaging services to hand over a suspect's communications to police with an appropriate warrant. However, messaging companies cannot hand over messages that have been end-to-end encrypted because they do not receive a legible copy. This encryption means ordinary citizens' messages cannot be intercepted by criminals or spies as they travel across the internet. But some people worry that terrorists and criminals can communicate secretly this way. "I think most people agree that there is a problem," said Prof Alan Woodward, a computer scientist at Surrey University. "The trouble is trying to force companies to decrypt via legislation is the very reason end-to-end encryption was introduced - particularly by US-based firms post-Snowden - to give their global customer base confidence that no government could get them to do what the Australians now propose." Mr Turnbull said encryption meant online messages were "effectively dark to the reach of the law", which he said was "not acceptable". He said companies had to "assist the rule of law" and provide law enforcement with access to encrypted messages. "For this to work, the companies will have to change their technical architecture or somehow weaken the encryption," said Prof Woodward. "Either is a bad idea." Some politicians have called for apps to build a "back door" into their systems, to allow law enforcement access to unencrypted messages. But such a system could also be exploited by criminals, defeating the purpose of encryption. Mr Turnbull said he was not seeking a "back door" and wanted communications handed over in "the usual way that applies in the offline world". Prof Woodward said modern encryption methods had not been cracked. But Mr Turnbull said Australian law would prevail over the laws of mathematics. He told journalists: "The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia." Mohammad Asghar, Conservative AM for South Wales East, had accused four Newport men of defamation. It followed a dispute over the running of two mosques in the city. Mr Justice Jeremy Baker has now cleared three of the men but ordered Mohammad Ali Hayat to pay Mr Asghar and a co-claimant five-figure damages each. The defamatory claims, made in a newsletter, on a website, and in a file handed to the leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies, suggested Mr Asghar and his co-claimant Abdul Mujahid were involved in criminality and corruption. Mr Justice Jeremy Baker heard a trial on the issues at Newport Crown Court and Cardiff Civil Justice Centre, last year. In his judgment, handed down on Thursday, the judge said the false claims caused "very significant distress and damage to the claimants' reputation". The judge cleared defendants Manzoor Ahmad, Farzand Ali and Shokat Butt of any wrongdoing but found Mr Hayat liable for damages. But Mr Asghar and Mr Mujahid may now face a large legal bill. A costs hearing will be held to decide how the bill - which could run to tens of thousands of pounds - should be divided between the parties. Speaking after the hearing, Mr Asghar said he was "quite happy" with the outcome, adding "we'll have to see what happens" with regards to the costs. We still have episodes of high particulates in London - there was one a few weeks ago compounded by high levels of wood burning. The focus now though is nitrogen dioxide (NO2) mainly from diesel engines and how that can be reduced. London Mayor Sadiq Khan estimates thousands of Londoners every year have their lives shortened by pollution. Ironically, London is probably at the forefront of anti-pollution policy. We have had a low emission zone for many years and have tried green walls and dust suppressants for example, with limited success. But the capital still breaches pollution limits. The current mayor is introducing a toxicity charge for central London and expanding an ultra low emission zone. 9,400 Premature deaths a year in London linked to air pollution 500,000 aged under 19 who live in areas that breach EU limits 443 schools that have unsafe pollution levels 86 of these are secondary 2025 year London is expected to meet EU limits Pollution is also now very prominent in the minds' of the public - for one thing, it receives a lot more publicity than it used to. The response to a recent mayoral consultation on pollution was the highest ever. Environmental lawyers like ClientEarth and campaigners like Clean Air for London are organised and efficient at highlighting the problem. And while many ideas are touted to reduce pollution, the real solution, clean air campaigners will tell you, is to reduce emissions and even ban diesels. But something interesting is happening in the wider court of public opinion. Changes are happening in the vehicle market. Is the drip, drip of health warnings, and talk of policy initiatives - like the ultra low emission zone, and stories like the VW emissions scandal, having an effect? Yesterday, it was announced the sales of diesel cars dropped 9.2% compared to a year ago. That was combined with a record 48.9% increase in electric cars and other alternatively-fuelled vehicles. And while this is not a pollution solution, drivers' behaviour is changing and it seems diesel is in decline. The Spaniard finished the 24-lap race in 42 minutes 34.610 seconds, 2.992secs ahead of Andrea Dovizioso and 4.104secs ahead of Maverick Vinales. His nearest challengers in the title standings, Yamaha pair Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, both crashed out. Honda rider Marquez, 23, is the youngest man to win three premier class world championship titles. "It was difficult to concentrate [after Rossi and Lorenzo crashed out]," said Marquez. "I am really happy. Really happy with my team." There are still three races to go this season, starting with next weekend's Australian Grand Prix. Marquez began the race from second on the grid behind Italian Rossi, with last season's champion Lorenzo also starting on the front row. It was the latter who seized control in the early stages before Marquez overtook him on the fourth lap. With 19 laps remaining, Rossi's challenge was ended as he slipped on the tarmac at a hair-pin bend on turn 10. Lorenzo would follow him out of the race with five laps to go as he also slipped on the track, this time at the V-shaped left-handed turn nine. This left Marquez to go on and claim the race and the title. Japan GP results 1. Marc Marquez (Spain) Honda 42:34.610 2. Andrea Dovizioso (Italy) Ducati 42:37.602 3.

Among the changes for the Next Gen ATP Finals, featuring eight of the world's best Under-21 players, are: The ATP said the aim of the changes was designed to create a "high-tempo, cutting-edge, and TV-friendly product". It wants to attract new and younger fans into into the sport, while at the same time retaining the sport's traditional fan base. ATP president Chris Kermode added: "We're excited to be bringing something new to the table with this event. "This event is not only about the next generation of players, but also about the next generation of fans." He stressed that the ATP remains "acutely aware of the traditions in our sport". "We will be sure to safeguard the integrity of our product when assessing if any changes should eventually be carried forward onto regular ATP World Tour events in the future," he said. BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller The ATP's president Chris Kermode has been clear for a while that tennis will have to change within the next 10 years. He says he is not worried where the next generation of players will come from, but has real concerns about the next generation of fans. The television audience is ageing: so what will those in their 20s and 30s be prepared to sit down and (possibly pay to) watch in future? A shorter format has served its purpose in cricket, but it is not just the time it takes: it is also about providing the entertainment which has made the Indian Premier League so popular in its first decade. Tennis is the latest sport to try a different format: Cricket - Led the way with 20-over Twenty20 competition. A new eight-team, city-based T20 tournament is planned by the England and Wales Cricket Board, which it is hoped could rival the success of the Indian Premier League and Australia's Big Bash. Golf - Earlier this month, the European Tour staged its first Golf Sixes event where each of the six holes has a theme, including a long-drive contest, nearest to the pin and a 40-second shot clock. Much like T20, there was also pyrotechnics and music. Athletics - The inaugural Nitro Athletics event in Melbourne in February included mixed relays and an elimination mile, where the last-placed runner was eliminated at the end of each of the first three laps of the track. During the meet, flame cannons shot fireballs into the air and there were dancers as pop music blared out. Snooker - Shoot Out is a knockout tournament where each match is one frame, played with a shot clock, and fans are allowed to shout out encouragement. It controversially became a ranking event this year. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has teamed up with Google to provide virtual walks on its street view and maps sites. It is part of a commitment to try and get more people running, walking and mountain biking. About 60 staff walked more than 40 routes to help create the resource. Those featured include the boardwalks of Cors Caron and Dyfi Ynyslas nature reserve in Ceredigion and areas around the waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons. People are given a 360 degree view on Google Street View and Google Maps, allowing them to "virtually walk" routes and plan trips. NRW staff volunteered their time, with planning officer Max Stokes saying: "We look after loads of sites across Wales where people can go running, walking and mountain biking. "Launching the digital maps with Google means we can now showcase these special places on a global platform. "We hope that this 'virtual warden' experience will encourage more people to get out and enjoy the outdoors." Those involved in the project wore a camera attached to a backpack, allowing them to capture trails only accessible on foot. That was the reaction of a dad whose son has been cleared of killing a British teenager while on holiday in Malia. Myles Litchmore-Dunbar has spent 16 months in a Greek jail for a crime he says he didn't commit. Tyrell Matthews-Burton was in Malia celebrating his 19th birthday when a fight broke out outside a bar involving about 30 British tourists. Tyrell was stabbed and died. Myles Litchmore-Dunbar was found guilty of affray but is appealing that charge and denies playing any part in the killing of the teenager. His dad Chris told Newsbeat: "It was a very long 16 months. Very hard. "Having to be in the UK, not able to see my son, going to work every day to make sure we had funds to pay for the legal fees. But whatever I felt, it's nothing compared to what he went through." "Yesterday I saw him. I was able to hug him and talk and he was able to speak to family in England and his girlfriend. It was brilliant, really brilliant." It is still unclear who killed Tyrell. There are outstanding charges against at least one other person. Tyrell's mother Sharon has previously said that her son's death was "senseless, brutal and unnecessary". Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube High Street bank TSB said some loan providers make a "hard mark" on credit files when someone asks for a loan price or quote. Personalised pricing means that, in effect, these people are seen to be applying for a loan. A series of these marks on somebody's file may be regarded as a danger sign by other lenders. They might consider the person to be desperate for a loan, so more of a risk to lend to. TSB chief executive Paul Pester said: "We estimate that consumers are losing out by as much as £400m each year, which is going straight into the pockets of aggressive loans providers. It is time the industry comes clean on these costly underhand tactics." In a report, TSB argued: "Personal loans providers must agree never to perform a hard credit check until the customer chooses to actually purchase a loan in full knowledge of the price being offered. "The practice whereby some providers issue a hard credit check in order to issue a customer with a personalised price needs to end. There is no reason to punish customers in this way. "Instead, providers must commit to not performing hard credit checks until after a consumer has been given their personalised interest rate and has decided to apply for the loan. This will end an environment where some providers are effectively punishing customers for shopping around for a better deal." James Jones, of credit report agency Experian, said individuals needed to take care. "It is important to shop around for credit to make sure you are getting a good deal," he said. "It is true that applying for credit is noted on your credit report by what is often called a hard footprint, which can affect credit scores. But if you are only seeking quotations you should make this clear to lenders because quotations should only leave harmless soft footprints." That temperature was just shy of the record 16C recorded at Murlough in County Down on 11 December 1994. The mild weather is being driven by warmer air coming from south of the Azores in the mid-Atlantic. It is not unusual to have temperatures in the double digits at this time of year. "In December last year, amidst the wind, rain, and storms we actually had the mildest December since the 1980s," said John Wylie from the Met Office. "Temperatures of 14C and 15C were fairly common place." Rewind six years and we were just entering the coldest winter on record with widespread disruption due to heavy snow. It's set to remain mild for the rest of the week according to the Met Office, although temperatures are unlikely to be as high as Wednesday's. Will we get a white Christmas though? It's still much too early to say. It depicts a society preoccupied by junk food rather than gin. The original showed the debilitating effects of a gin craze sweeping London and a population suffering from deadly infections common at the time. In contrast, Thomas Moore's new picture shows how obesity and mental health issues are today's big health threats. The updated version shows a mother salivating over junk food which she is also feeding her child. In contrast, Hogarth's 18th century version focuses on a mother more interested in gin and snuff, who is suffering from syphilis sores. Another clear difference is the prominent payday lender shop, replacing the pawnbrokers of 1751. Moore's modern version highlights the popularity of high street chicken shops today, while Hogarth's work shows people almost skeletal with starvation. Shirley Cramer, of the Royal Society for Public Health, said: "The original Gin Lane depicts concern with some of the leading challenges to the public's health in the 18th century - not just alcoholism, but other leading killers of the time including infectious diseases and malnutrition. "The leading threats to the public's health have changed over time with infectious diseases now supplanted by the growth in non-communicable diseases such as those caused by obesity, as well as a growing awareness of the importance of mental well-being. "We hope that when we look back on this piece of artwork in another 160 years, many of the health issues it depicts will be a thing of the past." Meanwhile, research by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine suggests that the big killers in Britain today are heart disease and dementia. Tracing official records back to 1856, they find infections such as tuberculosis and typhus topped the list. Researchers Dr Alex Mold and Prof Anne Hardy say better sanitation and sewage systems have helped reduce the spread of many infections. But they add: "By living longer, we are able to develop the diseases of old age, but our fates are determined both by individual behaviour and the social conditions in which we find ourselves." Michael Payne, 45, was discovered at his home in Brishing Lane, Maidstone, on Monday night. Kent Police have not identified the occupant of the property but said the death was not suspicious. Mr Payne's eight-year-old daughter was abducted and killed by convicted paedophile Roy Whiting in West Sussex in 2000. His daughter Charlotte posted a picture of her father on Facebook alongside a message saying she was "heartbroken". "No matter what happened and how many mistakes we all made you will always be my daddy," she wrote. She later added: "I'm sorry I couldn't save you dad. I hope you have finally found your peace and happiness." Michael Payne was a father crushed by agony. A parent consumed by grief. When his eight-year-old daughter Sarah was abducted in July 2000 his world collapsed. She was found dead in West Sussex 17 days later, murdered by Roy Whiting - a paedophile now serving life in jail - but it was a term that gave Michael only temporary escape from his demons. With his wife Sara, Michael found brief solace and purpose in campaigning for Sarah's Law, giving people greater information about sex offenders, but he began drinking heavily and the marriage collapsed. He later said he had failed to protect his own daughter. He had tried to come to terms with his suffocating loss, but in the end he was consumed. Her brother Lee wrote: "Dad, you had your demons and troubles but you had a good heart and was a decent man! I hope now you have found peace at last! RIP, you will be missed. We are all heartbroken." Ex-senior detective Martyn Underhill, who was the deputy senior investigating officer during Sussex Police's Sarah Payne inquiry, said Mr Payne could "walk with Sarah now". Mr Underhill, now the police and crime commissioner for Dorset, said: "I was honoured to have known him. He battled his demons. "But all he ever wanted to do was to see his daughter again. When Sarah went, it destroyed Michael as well." Mr Payne split from his wife Sara in 2003 after 18 years together, blaming the difficulties of coping with the loss of their daughter. In December 2011, he was jailed for 16 months after admitting attacking his brother with a glass after they had both drunk a large amount of alcohol. The court heard how he had developed a drink problem after the murder of his daughter by Whiting. In a message on Twitter, Mrs Payne thanked her 3,800-plus followers for their kindness and understanding. Fellow child protection campaigner Shy Keenan, a close friend of Mrs Payne, tweeted: "Sara thanks you all (more than she can say right now) for your love, kindness and understanding at this very painful time in their lives." And she wrote: "Sara wants to be left alone to care for her grief-stricken family and respectfully requests that the media leave her and her children alone." Whiting was convicted in 2001 of the abduction and murder of Sarah and sentenced to life imprisonment. Sarah, who lived in Hersham, Surrey, disappeared from a cornfield near the home of her paternal grandparents, Terence and Lesley Payne. Her body was found on 17 July in a field near Pulborough, some 15 miles from Kingston Gorse in West Sussex where she had disappeared. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) says salaries should increase to £74,000 by 2015, but that perks should be cut and pensions made less generous. Party leaders have criticised the rise but Ipsa's boss argues it will bring MPs into line with other professionals. Mr Gove called Ipsa "silly" and said parliamentarians were "well paid". The watchdog is to consult on the rise but MPs cannot block it because they handed control of the decision to the independent body in the wake of the 2009 expenses scandal. By Nick RobinsonPolitical editor The Ipsa proposals include: MPs are currently paid £66,396, but that is due to rise to £67,060 in April 2014 and rise by a further 1% the following year. The recommendation amounts to a rise of around £6,300 a year, or 9.3%, on what MPs would be getting in 2015. Asked whether the extra increase should go ahead, Mr Gove said: "Absolutely not. MPs are incredibly well paid at the moment anyway, as are ministers." He added: "Ipsa - it's a bit of a silly organisation really and pay rise? They can stick it." A Downing Street spokesman said: "The cost of politics should go down, not up. And MPs' pay shouldn't go up while public sector pay is, rightly, being constrained." Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who has said he will not take the increase, said it was "about the worst time to advocate a double-digit pay increase for MPs", adding that the public would find it "incomprehensible". Labour leader Ed Miliband said he did not believe the rise should go ahead - and confirmed he would not take it if it did, but he said he was confident Ipsa would change its recommendation after a public backlash. By James LandaleDeputy political editor "I don't think MPs should be getting a 10% pay rise when nurses and teachers are facing either pay freezes or very low increases and people in the private sector are facing similar circumstances," he said. Prime Minister David Cameron has criticised the proposed increase but a No 10 source declined to comment on whether he would be taking it. Pressed on the question, the spokesman said: "It's not a pay rise. It's a proposal". He pointed out the package was still to go out to consultation and Downing Street would be submitting its own response. But Ipsa chairman Sir Ian Kennedy defended the proposal, saying: "The history of MPs' pay and pensions is a catalogue of fixes, fudges and failures to act. The package we put forward today represents the end of the era of MPs' remuneration being settled by MPs themselves. "For the first time, an independent body will decide what MPs should receive. We will do so in full view, and after consultation with the public." Sir Ian told BBC Radio 5 Live's Victoria Derbyshire phone-in programme that MPs should be treated like "modern professionals" and part of the package was a "radical proposal" to introduce an annual "report card" to show the public what MPs did for their money. He said the pay rise proposal was "fair" because MPs' pay had "fallen back" over the years and they needed to properly rewarded for the job they did, adding that the expenses scandal had been the result of too much pay restraint. Sir Ian said there was never a good time to increase salaries, but said the changes were designed to "last a generation rather than just respond to the latest political issue", and taken together with the expenses reforms would save taxpayers money. He said he would over the next two months listen to the views of the public who had taken part in the consultation on the Ipsa website, but he believed the package was not over-generous and was in line with previous recommendations by the senior salaries review board and other bodies. Sir Ian is paid £700 a day and works on average two days a week, which he said added up to an annual salary of between £60,000 and the "high 70s". Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen backed Ipsa's stance, telling BBC Radio 4's World at One: "I don't believe that MPs are remunerated sufficiently for the job that they do, if you want to attract the right sort of people. "I don't want Parliament to be only for people of independent wealth, for people who treat it [their salary] as pocket money." The mammals have been creating a stir off Baltimore in west Cork in the Irish Republic for the last two weeks as they feed on shoals of sprat and herring. There are five animals in the humpback group and they have been getting a lot of attention, with reports in Ireland's national newspapers and segments on the state broadcaster RTE. The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group have been monitoring the group and believe that four of them have visited the same waters off west Cork in the past, some as recently as 2008. "It is known from the western Atlantic that humpback whales form stable social associations with other whales on the feeding grounds, so this is not just a coincidence," the IWDG website said. People have been getting up close to the denizens of the deep, which were once hunted to the brink of extinction, on boat trips from local harbours. Simon Duggan is a local photographer and went out with friends to see what they could capture. As can be seen from his picture he was luckier than the group on another boat, who appear to all be looking the wrong way. "Bad weather had stopped us going out, but there was a break on Saturday so we went out," he said. "We'd been out for a few hours and had been watching them when this one started to breach. "It's a pretty amazing sight, there are minke whales, fin whales and lots of dolphins and harbour porpoise, but the humpbacks are rarer." Mr Duggan got the shot because he was in the right place at the right time. He and fellow photographer Youen Jacob were looking for the whales and on this occasion Mr Jacob was steering the boat. Both men are volunteers with the RNLI in at Baltimore Lifeboat Station and get to spend a fair amount of time at sea. He said the animal breached about six times, so the watchers on the other boat may have been able to catch the repeat performance. Mr Duggan said that whale watching is a popular activity in the area in the winter months. "There really isn't a lot to do in Baltimore during November and December so it's become a bit of a hobby for me and some friends and occasionally you get to see this sort of thing." They were photgraphed bubble feeding by Mr Jacob last week, a technique which sees the whales going under a school of fish and releasing bubbles to confuse the fish and bunch them together. Then the whales surge upwards through the school with mouths wide open so they can scoop as many fish as possible. The IWDG said the scenes of the animals bubble feeding were remarkable, but that while the viewing off Cork was spectacular it was not without precedent. On its website the group said that there was going to be increased demand on whale watching boats because of the increase in activity, but that it was taking place so near to shore that a pair of binoculars would be enough to enjoy the show. Colin Cameron, 60, died when his Land Rover was hit by the London Paddington to Cheltenham Spa service at Frampton Mansell near Stroud on Tuesday. British Transport Police said a post-mortem examination revealed he died from multiple injuries, and a file was being prepared for the coroner. The line was closed for over 24 hours while police investigated. Ch Insp John Angell said: "Our family liaison officers continue to support Mr Cameron's loved ones, who have asked for their privacy to be respected, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time. "Our enquiries at the scene have concluded for now and I would like to reiterate our thanks to the local community for the help they gave to passengers on the service involved immediately after the incident and for their cooperation as we worked in the area. "We continue to appeal for anyone who saw what happened, or feels they may have any information which would be relevant to our investigation, to contact us." Yet if you attend any major business conference this year, then you're likely to come across "The Girls' Lounge". It might sound like a name dreamt up by an unimaginative spa owner or an all-female pop-band, but in reality it's a professional networking space for women. On the eve of the World Economic Forum in Davos - a place where male attendees outnumber females five to one, the space is just being prepared. A peek through the windows show that it's all white sofas and cushions, some adorned with glitter pink writing. The decor is soft and unashamedly feminine. Lounges at previous conferences have included beauty treatments, such as face masks and manicures. Aside from the patronising use of the word "girl", surely the idea that women need a separate mingling space, and such a stereotypically feminine one to boot, is doing little to further the case for female equality? Shelley Zalis - who started The Girls' Lounge five years ago - is unapologetic: "This is their boys' club - for women to get to know other women. "There are masculine and feminine styles of leadership and we encourage women to find and lead with their strengths. We need both [styles] or we're all the same," she says. Ms Zalis resolutely refuses to apologise for using the word "girl", arguing the word "woman" is too associated with the traditional hierarchy where female leaders conform to male leadership styles. Beyond Ms Zalis' deliberately provocative and attention-grabbing approach, her point is that women need to take on leadership in whichever way they choose, not emulating the male, institutional model. "We have to stop fixing the women. We have to fix our mindset and recalibrate our mindset on equality and understand men and women are all equal. Until society and corporations value the individual strengths of each person we won't progress," she says. And in The Girls' Lounge, underneath the seemingly fluffy interior, there's plenty of hard facts. In it, for example, there are ten clocks from various countries. Based on a nine to five day, they point to the time a woman should leave work according to the wage gap in the country. The US clock points to 3.20pm, highlighting the fact that women there earn only 79% of what men earn. To make the same point, men in the Girls' Lounge are charged $1 for a bar of chocolate, while women pay 79 cents. While Ms Zalis' initial aim was simply to provide a space for women to feel less isolated at male dominated business events, the Girls' Lounge now hosts serious talks on addressing inequality and has attracted some heavyweight commercial partners including Unilever and Google. The Girls' Lounge is part of The Female Quotient, the firm founded by Ms Zalis which aims to advance workplace equality. The firm has conducted research for consumer goods giant Unilever showing the extent to which underlying bias is holding back progress on the issue. The study, published on Tuesday, showed that not only do an overwhelming 77% of men believe that a man is the best choice to lead an important project, but also the majority (55%) of women. More so, men and women overwhelmingly believe that men don't want women in top corporate positions, according to the research, which interviewed more than 9,000 men and women across eight markets. Unilever's chief marketing officer Keith Weed said the poll pinpointed how traditional beliefs and norms were still holding back women's progress. "Men have intellectually bought into [the] whole area of gender inequality, but acting on it there's still a long way to go. We are holding stereotypes in our head that we fit people into," he said. Mr Weed said addressing the issue was not just "a moral issue but an economic issue". The firm, behind more than 400 brands from Ben & Jerry's ice-cream to Dove soap, last year pledged to remove sexist stereotypes from its own ads. Mr Weed said while it was too early to measure the impact of this change, its previous research had shown that progressive ads were 12% more effective. Yet, Erica Dhawan, a female chief executive of consultancy Cotential, perhaps offers some hope. In her thirties, she says she identifies herself as part of several groups: a millennial, an Indian American, and has never thought there's anything that either women or men could do better. "We can't solve age old problems with old solutions. We need to redefine inclusion in today's modern world and by bringing new perspectives we can improve gender equality. I'm extremely optimistic I believe we need to broaden the conversation. Ms Zalis also believes the new corporations which have emerged in the past couple of decades, such as the tech giants such as Facebook and Google, could help to adjust the balance. "Most traditional corporations were founded over 100 years ago when women weren't in the workplace. Newer firms have equality in their DNA," she says. Hopefully that heralds a future where there will be no need for a girls or boys club but just clubs. Thanks largely to the goalscoring prowess of captain Lionel Messi, Argentina have easily qualified for the last 16 of the tournament, with fans now daring to hope they might be on course to win it for the first time since 1986. But it seems that at the moment, for South America's second-largest economy, every silver lining has a cloud. Faced with dwindling foreign currency reserves, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's government has done everything possible to stop money leaving the country. Earlier this year, the authorities imposed curbs on online shopping from foreign websites, which had become popular as a way of dealing with the increasingly high cost of living in Argentina. Even so, the amount of foreign exchange held by the central bank, which fell by 30% last year, is still less than $30bn (£18bn) - the lowest level since 2006. That decline harms Argentina's ability to service its debts and finance imports, as well as further undermining international markets' confidence in the country. Now the prospect of a prolonged stay for the Argentine squad in neighbouring Brazil, with legions of high-spending fans cheering them on and taking foreign currency out of the country with them, has raised the spectre of another big financial drain on resources. According to Buenos Aires-based economic research firm Perspectivas Economicas, each fan travelling across the border is expected to spend $2,000, amounting to as much as $200m in all. And Argentines are flocking to Brazil to follow their team, whether they can actually get into the stadium or not. For their last group game against Nigeria in Porto Alegre, Brazilian authorities estimate that more than 100,000 Argentines came to the city, although Fifa says only 18,000 of them had bought tickets for the game. Although Argentines' credit card transactions abroad are subject to an eye-watering 35% tax, and US dollars and Brazilian reais are easier to buy on the black market than through official channels, the impact will still be felt. "The longer Argentina lasts in the tournament, the greater the demand for dollars," Perspectivas Economicas' director, Luis Secco, told Bloomberg news agency. Even so, the total sum involved is a drop in the ocean when set next to the potential consequences of a US Supreme Court ruling earlier this month in favour of hedge fund investors. In fact, that case goes to the heart of why Argentina is so short of currency reserves in the first place. After the country's economic meltdown of 2001-02, it was left unable to repay or service more than $100bn of debt. The resulting default meant that it has not been able to borrow further money on the international markets since then. Two successive restructuring deals, in 2005 and 2010, covered the overwhelming majority of bondholders, who agreed to accept about one-third of what they were originally owed. But hedge funds NML and Aurelius Capital Management bought up a large chunk of the remaining distressed debt at a discount and are now pressing to be paid the full face value of their holding. This ethically controversial practice has earned them the nickname of "vulture funds". But unabashed by any moral qualms, they have fought their case all the way to the top of the US judicial system - and won. Now the fear is that not just the two hedge funds, but all those bondholders who stayed out of the restructuring will have to be repaid in full. "At this stage, it is unclear what course policymakers will follow, but there is a clear risk of another default," says consultancy Capital Economics in its latest economic outlook for Argentina. "This would be another blow to attempts by Argentine authorities to regain access to global capital markets." The crunch date is Monday 30 June, when Argentina is due to make a $900m interest payment to those who accepted the debt restructuring. The US court ruling orders them to settle with the vulture funds at the same time, by handing over $1.5bn. This could trigger litigation from other investors in the same situation, which is why Argentina is uncomfortable with the idea. However, it is unclear just how big the final bill for this would be. The government says that paying off all the "hold-outs" would cost $15bn, more than half of the central bank's depleted foreign currency reserves. But not everyone agrees. "We sense that the government may be overstating the cost," says David Rees, emerging markets economist at Capital Economics. "Most independent estimates put the cost of settling closer to $8bn." Even if Argentina fails to make some kind of downpayment on the $1.5bn by the due date, there is a 30-day grace period before an actual default can be declared. As Mr Rees says: "Finding a way forward that is agreeable to all sides will be difficult, but not impossible. The hold-outs appear to be in the driving seat, so reaching an agreement may boil down to how many concessions the Argentine government is prepared to make." All of this is distracting Argentina's policymakers from broader problems, stemming from what another research organisation, Consensus Economics, calls "an increasingly unsustainable economic model, propped up by currency and capital controls". GDP has now been in decline for two successive quarters, meeting the technical definition of a recession, and conditions are not expected to improve until well into 2015. Analysts believe the country's economy will contract by 1% this year. Even the past achievements of President Fernandez and her predecessor in the post, her late husband Nestor Kirchner, are now being called into question. Supporters of left-leaning governments in Latin America have hailed the surge in growth that occurred on the couple's watch since 2003, while overlooking the fact that Argentina's economy is still considerably smaller than it was before the meltdown. But now it appears that growth figures in previous years were often exaggerated. In May, the country's statistical office published some revealing revisions of historic data. According to Consensus Economics: "In real GDP terms, the economy grew much less than expected. For example, in 2008, an initially reported 6.8% outturn was slashed to 3.1%. "This is tacit admission that the government previously overestimated GDP (not to mention production and inflation) data to paint a more impressive picture of activity." President Fernandez is due to leave office in October 2015. Analysts expect government spending to remain high in the run-up to the next presidential election, with inflation remaining at about 25% to 30%. What will happen under a new president is anyone's guess. The world champion was 0.331 seconds quicker than Rosberg, despite using a slower set of tyres than the German. Rosberg was on the ultra-soft tyre with Hamilton and Vettel on the super-soft. Red Bull's Max Verstappen was an impressive fourth on the soft tyre - the slowest available - as Felipe Massa crashed his Williams heavily. The Brazilian lost control on the entry to Turn One, spinning on to the grass and smashing into the barriers, emblazoned with the name of F1's newest corporate sponsor, a popular beer brand. Massa said he had lost the rear as soon as he closed the DRS overtaking aid, which reduces rear downforce to increase straight-line speed. He was not the only driver to experience problems on the demanding Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, but he was the only one to crash. Vettel brushed the wall exiting one of the chicanes, while Hamilton, Rosberg, Verstappen and Alonso all cut the final chicane when they misjudged their braking points. There were also a couple of misunderstandings between drivers out on track, with Verstappen and McLaren's Fernando Alonso respectively incurring the wrath of Williams' Valtteri Bottas and Hamilton as they slowed for the final chicane while their rivals approached on a flying lap. Both Bottas and Hamilton complained to their teams over the radio about the potential risk of the incidents. Verstappen received a reprimand by the stewards for impeding the Williams after the session finished. The only surprise in a somewhat low-key session - held in cool but dry conditions with drivers doing relatively few flying laps - was that Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo did not set a representative quick time. The Australian, who missed out on certain victories in the last two races in Spain and Monaco after team strategy and pit errors, was quick early on but did not improve his time as his team-mate did and ended up only 11th fastest. At the front, Vettel was only 0.157secs slower than Rosberg and only 0.31secs quicker than Verstappen. Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was fifth, ahead of Bottas, Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz, Force India's Sergio Perez and Alonso. Canada Grand Prix first practice results Canada Grand Prix coverage details "My tent was set on fire. My clothes were stolen. My sleeping bag was stolen." Louise is sitting, begging, in a shop front on Aberdeen's Union Street. She says nowhere is safe if you are rough sleeping on the city's streets or in its parks. I talk to her as she is hungrily eating lentil and smoked bacon soup from a plastic carton - served to her by Bobby Beasant and his friend Jerry. Bobby works as a chef in one of the Granite City's restaurants. But spends his days off cooking and distributing healthy food to people like Louise. I met him first at his home at Seaton, near the city centre. As he chopped carrots, onions and celery he said it is important to give healthy food to rough sleepers and the homeless. "They can get very ill, when they're out on the streets," he says. "It's cold. So it's very important to offer nutritious food that's hot." Then the portions are served out, and the containers packed into a box. And it's off, out, into the rain. First stop a hostel for the homeless. One man, just out of jail, takes a carton of soup. Then a sheltered housing scheme - a half-way house for people who have been rough sleeping. Bobby distributes half a dozen containers. Then we're off to the shopping streets. Plenty of money here. You can see it in the shop fronts. And in the shoppers passing-by. The man who always sits near the Trinity Centre steps is not out today. But there's a couple, begging in a bus shelter. They gratefully accept some food. And Bobby and Jerry stay for a chat. Then there's Louise. She explains that a drunken brawl one night at the end of last year forced her out of her home. Someone threatened to stab someone. Someone got "battered". I don't like to ask for too many details. But, Louise says, she's been sleeping on Aberdeen's streets, and in the city's parks, for the past five months. "I had everything, up until October", she says. "I had my house. My wee boy stayed with me." She says was using her past experience as a heroin addict to train as a drugs counsellor. And she was a volunteer with a project in Arbroath. "I had everything. But now I've got nothing." And there's a twist to the story. The real reason Bobby Beasant does it. "I went through it myself. I was homeless for six months. "I ended up in the hostels. It's not very nice. You've got to fend for yourself. "Yeah, there are people there to give you support and help you. But food-wise and that sort of stuff, you've got to do it yourself. If you've got no money, it's very hard." And this is all happening at the same time as the subject of what homeless people eat, and the role it plays in their health, is starting to provoke academic interest. Researchers at Robert Gordon University, and several homeless organisations in Aberdeen, have just completed their first study of the health of the city's homeless population. It focused on access to healthcare, and how well homeless people follow the instructions doctors give them about taking prescribed medicines. But researchers say there's much more they need to find out, if they are to help tackle health inequalities. "We're looking, in the next phase, at wider aspects of self care. And this includes diet", lead investigator Dr Vibhu Paudyal told me. "As well as physical and mental health, avoidance of alcohol or illicit substances, and sleep quality. "Maintaining a good diet is really important, and particularly important for this population because of all the hazards that they are vulnerable to." Meanwhile, back on the streets, Bobby insists he is in this for the long haul. He is already planning for the next 10 to 15 years of feeding Aberdeen's homeless. Mandy Pearson said her family were assured that the handwriting on the note found with the body of Daniel Whitworth would be properly checked. Detectives treated the 21-year-old's death as non-suspicious because of the note, which had been written by Port. Port, 41, was given a whole life prison term for the murders of four young men. Mr Whitworth, from Gravesend, Kent, was found dead in an east London churchyard near Port's home on 20 September 2014, three weeks after the body of another Port victim - 22-year-old Slovakian Gabriel Kovari - had been found in the same spot. The note in Mr Whitworth's hand said he had accidentally killed Mr Kovari and was taking his own life as a result. Port, from London, had murdered both men and would go on to kill again a year later. On Thursday the BBC revealed how a detective told Mr Whitworth's inquest that police officers had checked the note against one of Mr Whitworth's diaries, but that a handwriting expert had not been consulted. When it was eventually checked, an expert concluded that the author of the note was not Mr Whitworth but the handwriting was a match for Port's. Speaking for the first time, Ms Pearson says she remembers the initial contact from detectives. "We were told that it looked like he'd taken his own life as he'd been found with a letter - and we were very, very keen to see it," she told the BBC. When the family saw the note they were not convinced. "We said we weren't sure. Especially when we did finally see the whole thing." The family told police that "there was nothing personal about it. There were no names mentioned". "We said then there was nothing there that would link it to Daniel. Nothing at all. His circumstances were looking good, things were bright, he had a good future ahead of him." The family were not even that familiar with Mr Whitworth's writing, she recalls. "In this age when you're using email, texts - it's very seldom you see handwriting unless it's in a card," she said. But when they looked at some cards sent by Mr Whitworth, she said, the writing was not a match. Ms Pearson says the family were assured by the police that the handwriting would be properly checked. "They said they were going to do that anyway. They took samples, they took the cards." Asked how she feels knowing that the tests were not done, she said: "Disgusted. We feel disgusted." "We put our confidence in them. We trusted them." But she also praised the Met detectives who later conducted the successful investigation. The police watchdog is investigating how the serial killer case was handled. The Independent Police Complaints Commission is examining the initial police response to the deaths of the four men in London. A total of 17 Metropolitan Police officers are under formal investigation. The problems meant some callers were unable to get through via the 101 and 111 numbers. Police Scotland and NHS 24 had advised those seeking non-emergency assistance to contact them on alternative numbers. Similar problems were also experienced in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Vodafone, which operates police and NHS services, said both the 101 and 111 numbers were "restored" by 13:00. The company apologised and said it would carry out a "full investigation". The new freephone 111 number for NHS 24 was launched in Scotland in April. At the time, ministers said the change made the number easy to remember, while the introduction of the free-to-call service removed any barrier to the public accessing the health advice out of hours. Now, some of the Arctic convoy veterans from World War Two will be remembered in an exhibition which opens in Edinburgh next week. The stories of 16 veterans will be celebrated in a display at the St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in association with Legion Scotland. The "Arctic Convoys - Men and Ice" exhibition tells the stories of survivors of the Arctic Convoys who have connections with the Edinburgh area. The free exhibition, which opens on Monday, shows how the gruelling campaign changed the lives of the men who endured extreme hardship. In the Arctic convoys, four million tonnes of cargo - mainly armaments and essential supplies - were sent by Britain to the Soviet Union during the Second World War. Merchant ships, escorted by Royal Navy vessels, braved the northern route of 2,500 miles of deadly seas, including the Arctic Ocean, from 1941 to 1945. David Dunsmuir from Blantyre was one of those who served on the convoys. Working at Waddie, the stationer and printer in Edinburgh, the 18-year-old was called up in September 1943. He served as a gunner on HMS Diadem. The grandfather of two said: "The thing that struck me immediately was I hadn't understood how dangerous or strong water is. "I saw 35ft waves hitting ships and bending steel. The biggest concern was the cold. Everything was freezing up and we had to keep chipping away at the ice, keeping the guns free." After the war, David returned to Waddie and worked his way up to a director of the company. He retired after working for 47 years with the firm. The 89-year-old, who lives in Edinburgh, returned to Russia this year to commemorate the end of the war in Europe. Harold O'Neill was another who served. Now 93, he enlisted in 1941 and worked as a steward on HMS Sumba and HMS Liverpool. Mr O'Neill, who now lives in Haddington, remembers one particular night on the convoy when a gale scattered the vessels over a distance of 150 nautical miles and caused severe icing on the ships, causing some of the ships to become too heavy and in danger of capsizing. He said: "Then the Germans came. I was chopping ice at the funnel. Enemy machine gun fire erupted around us." The exhibition will also feature photographs and tapestries. The Very Reverend Dr Forbes, the Provost of St Mary's Cathedral, said "Men, as the psalmist states, do 'go down to the sea in ships', and Britain as a sea-faring nation is no exception. "This exhibition which the cathedral is proud to host, tells of exceptional men whose ships sailed across the roof of the world to help an ally in the fight against fascism." Kevin Gray, chief executive officer of Legion Scotland, said: "The Arctic Convoys were described by Winston Churchill as the 'worst journey in the world'. "Legion Scotland is honoured to be part of the exhibition sharing the extraordinary experiences of these veterans and also pays tribute to those who didn't make it home." The exhibition runs from 27 July until 31 August.

Dredge shared second place with Russell Knox, after finishing three shots behind winner Rory McIlroy. The 42-year-old, who has won twice during his career on the European Tour, fired a superb final round of 66 at the K Club. "I played well and hopefully I can kick on from here," Dredge said. "We've got another good event next week and we'll see what happens there." Dredge will next be in action at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, which begins on Thursday, 26 May. He contemplated retirement after losing his European Tour card for the 2013 season and then health problems forced him to take an extended break. Having regained his place on the European Tour, Dredge's performance at the Irish Open earned him the biggest payday of his career to date. Dredge secured a cheque just short short of £270,000, eclipsing his prize for winning the European Masters in 2006. "You try not to think too much about the money. You try and go out there and try and win the tournament," Dredge added. "And if I play well I give myself a chance of doing that, like I did and you need things to happen then to actually win."

Wales' Bradley Dredge is pleased with his current form and hopes to build on his joint second placed finish at the Irish Open.

The Scottish government said the Croft House Grant would entitle each crofters to funding of up to £38,000. The money is being spread across crofts in the Highlands, Western Isles, Northern Isles and Argyll. Ministers said the funding would allow them to build or improve homes, helping to retain and attract people to rural communities. Cabinet Secretary for the Rural Economy Fergus Ewing said 21 crofters would receive the funding. He said: "Good quality housing is essential for crofters. We need to draw people to Scotland's most remote and rural communities and the Croft House Grant can do that. "Upgrading or building new properties can help crofters fulfil their duty to live on or close to their croft and can help them undertake additional agricultural activity." Funding will be made available to crofters in Caithness, Inverness-shire, Lewis, Skye, Islay, North Uist,, Ross-shire, Shetland and Sutherland.

More than 20 crofters are to share a £705,000 grant to improve their housing.

The PHA would not confirm whether it was the H1N1 strain formerly known as swine flu. The PHA's website also states that seven people are being treated in intensive care units for the flu virus. As in previous years, H1N1 is one of the strains circulating, but is covered by a free vaccination programme. The Mercedes ace was asked by reporters if the sport was fundamentally broken, lacking direction or in rude health. The 31-year-old Briton, world champion three times, said: "Probably the first two you suggested. I don't want to say too much but I agree with those." McLaren-Honda driver Fernando Alonso added that indecision over qualifying regulations for 2016 was "sad". Media playback is not supported on this device Hamilton also questioned the new 'halo' safety system that was trialled on Thursday's penultimate day of winter testing in Barcelona. The system is designed to protect drivers from impact and debris, but Hamilton used social media to call it "the worst F1 modification in history". In the earlier news conference, he added he was "dying" to be able to drive a car from 30 years ago, which he said he finds much more appealing. He also sees no need to change qualifying, a reference to attempts by F1's bosses to introduce a new elimination-style system for this year. Hamilton said: "It was fine, it was OK. Why confuse people even more? Even we don't understand what is going on." F1 bosses agreed last week to introduce a qualifying system that would see the slowest car eliminated at 90-second intervals through three stages of qualifying. But the following day, F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, who was keen on the new format, said he had been told there was not sufficient time to amend the sport's timing system before the season starts in Australia on 18 March. The teams, who were asked to analyse the new proposal to check it had no flaws, have proposed a revised system that retains the elimination format for the first two parts of qualifying but reverts to a straight fight between eight drivers for the top places on the grid. This idea will be discussed at the FIA World Council on Friday. Senior figures have also questioned why the timing software and television graphics cannot be amended in time, with one senior figure telling BBC Sport that the explanation given was "pathetic". Bosses have also had to extend a deadline to finalise new rules for 2017 aimed at making the cars faster and more dramatic-looking. Alonso said the lack of clarity did not portray F1 in a good light. "I am sad for the sport," said the two-time champion. "If I were a sportsman from another sport, I will look at Formula 1 a little bit surprised about that." The 34-year-old Spaniard added there were "too many changes" and complained that "the complexity of the rules for the spectator is quite high". He said: "All my friends here in Spain want to switch on the television and watch battles, big cars, big tyres, big noise and enjoy the race like they do with other sports. We want simplicity in the rules." The clock was turned back at Caerlaverock Castle near Dumfries on Saturday for a jousting competition. A host of colourful historic characters battled it out to be crowned the King's Champion at the Historic Environment Scotland site. Tigers striker Mohamed Diame got on the end of Andrew Robertson's through-ball for the only goal of the game and his sixth of the season. Daryl Murphy went closest for the hosts with a first-half half-volley against the post while Jake Livermore also struck the woodwork for the visitors. Ipswich have now failed to beat Hull in their past eight league meetings. Defeat also saw the Tractor Boys' run of 16 consecutive wins on a Tuesday night, stretching back to April 2013, come to an end. Media playback is not supported on this device Hull boss Steve Bruce made nine changes to the side which held Arsenal to a goalless draw in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday. One of those changes, Robert Snodgrass, forced Bartosz Bialkowski to tip his early free-kick over the crossbar. Ipswich grew in to the first half and Murphy hit the post from Ben Pringle's free-kick and Christophe Berra had a header on target deflected wide. But, moments after the break, Mick McCarthy's side failed to keep a clean sheet for a ninth successive game as Diame broke the deadlock. Robertson's surging run from left-back culminated in a fine pass for Diame to dink it over the on-rushing Bialkowski. Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "We were beaten by a better team on the night. We actually could have taken the lead in the first half but that is the fine margins of the Championship. "The talk in the dressing room at half-time was not to concede an early goal but that is what we did - although it was a fantastic goal. "They could have scored more but the Championship is so bonkers that we almost notched in the last few minutes." Hull manager Steve Bruce: "It was a case of job done. We were up against a really committed team in the first half, which mirrored their manager in terms of effort and endeavour. "But we had that bit of class in the second half and we could have actually put the game to bed but we didn't take our opportunities. "When you are top of the league, you know teams are going to have a go at you and you have to earn the right to play. Mo Diame was man of the match for me, it was a wonderful goal."

The Night Manager author's most famous character, who features in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, will return in September. A Legacy of Spies tells the story of Smiley's colleague Peter Guillam, whose Cold War past catches up with him. Publishers Viking Books said it was "as ingenious and thrilling" as the previous Smiley books. It blends past and present as Guillam is called back to London from his retirement in Brittany. Explaining the plot - and the involvement of Smiley - Viking Books said: "Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London, and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley and Peter Guillam himself, are to be scrutinised under disturbing criteria by a generation with no memory of the Cold War and no patience with its justifications." The spy is also featured in books including Smiley's People and Le Carre's first novel Call for the Dead, and his exploits have been portrayed on the big and small screen. Alec Guinness played him in two television adaptations in 1979 and 1980, while more recently, Gary Oldman took on the role in a film version of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in 2011. But it is the BBC adaptation of le Carre's 1993 work The Night Manager - which doesn't feature the famous spy - that has been the author's most prominent recently, winning three of its stars Golden Globes earlier this year. The same team behind the show, starring Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman, are to make a new version of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, which will appear on BBC One next year.

The 45-year-old will continue to be assisted by Andy Dawson, 37. The duo were placed in temporary charge of the Iron in January following the sacking of Mark Robins and have led the side to four wins in five games. "We've seen what they've done over the period they've been in charge and we have been impressed," chairman Peter Swann told the club website. "They've worked very hard and the players are responding to them and we thought it was really important we kept that intact and it gives us a chance to still reach the play-offs. "We've seen a natural course of events, with Nick leading the way with plenty of support from Andy and I think as a duo they work very well together." The pair were placed in charge of the League One side after a 5-0 defeat by struggling Blackpool. Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Fleetwood followed four successive victories, leaving them 13th in the table, but only eight points outside the play-off places. The Glanford Park side face Oldham Athletic on Saturday. The bank has opted to provide the facility rather than support Google's Android Pay service. Barclays allows payments of up to £100 via compatible terminals. Android Pay does not have this limit if merchants agree to accept larger sums. In both cases, payments over £30 require the use of a Pin code. Barclays says its app also allows customers to carry on spending if they lose one of their physical cards. That is because if a card is cancelled, Barclays can immediately upload the details of its replacement to the app, as soon as it is issued. However, this is also possible via Android Pay, whose customers are told they need to wait up to 48 hours for a new account number to be created and the updated details sent to the app. However, one analyst said that Android Pay had another factor in its favour: a growing number of apps allow people to use the tool as a way to make payments without having to type in card details. This is also possible via Apple Pay, but not Barclays' service. "Swiping your phone in a store doesn't often offer that much benefit to the user compared with just using a contactless card," said Jack Kent from the IHS Technology consultancy. "But what we think will be a big driver to adopting Android Pay or Apple Pay is the in-app purchases, in which people can have their shipping and billing information pre-loaded to help speed up transactions. "That offers a very clear benefit to users that they can't get via Barclays' tool." Barclays supports Apple Pay rather than offering a similar proprietary service on iPhones because Apple does not allow third-party apps to make use of its iPhones' near-field communication (NFC) chips. Microsoft also launched a new version of its Wallet app this week that allows Windows 10-powered handsets to make contactless payments. However, it is currently limited to US-based phone owners. Pigeons are often seen as dirty and an urban nuisance, but they are just the latest in a long line of animals that have been found to have abilities to help humans. Despite having a brain no bigger than the tip of your index finger, pigeons have an impressive visual memory. Recently it was shown that they could be trained to be as accurate as humans at detecting breast cancer in images. Here are three more of our feathered and furry friends who could have a big impact in medicine. Rats are often associated with spreading disease rather than preventing it, but this long-tailed rodent is a highly sensitive detector that can save lives. Inside a rodent's nose are up to 1,000 different types of olfactory receptors, whereas humans only have a feeble 100 to 200 types. This gives rodents, such as rats, the ability to sniff out subtle scents. As a result, African-pouched rats - commonly described as "kitten-sized rodents" - are being put to work in Mozambique to detect tuberculosis. Their abilities are being studied at the Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo, where trained rats can detect a specific scent produced by TB bacteria in human mucus samples. When the rats detect the scent, they stop and rub their legs to indicate a sample is infected. Traditionally, lab technicians prepare slides and examine each sample using microscopy. A hundred samples would take them more than two days, but for a rat it takes less than 20 minutes. This rat detection method is affordable and doesn't rely on specialist equipment, which is often lacking in countries where TB is prevalent. It is also more accurate - the rats are able to find more TB infections and, therefore, save more lives. Dogs have long been considered a human's best friend - but over the years they've really proved how skilful they can be. Recently, there has also been a focus on dogs that seem to have the extraordinary ability to detect when people with epilepsy are about to have a seizure - even when the person has no idea themselves. Sally Burton's epilepsy began as a child and affected every aspect of her life from a young age. "I could never be left alone," she says. "I had to be home taught and making friends or meeting new people was difficult. I often felt very lonely." Thirteen years ago she got her first seizure alert dog, Star. "Having a seizure alert dog instantly made my life liveable," Sally explains. "One of the first things I did when I first had Star was to make myself a cup of tea, something I had not been able to do in 30 years because of the risks of having a seizure when holding boiling water. I then went into town on my own - again a life-time first." It is still not known how dogs can sense a seizure. It has been suggested that minute changes in a person's gestures or posturing could alert the dog, but people have also thought that a scent or auditory cue might also be involved. After Star passed away, Sally teamed up with her second dog Robbie. Like Star, he was trained by a British charity, Support Dogs. The charity has shown they are able to train dogs that are able to provide signals, such as persistently nudging someone's leg, between 15 and 45 minutes before their owner had a seizure. Although there is still little other published evidence to back up their effectiveness, the anecdotal evidence for seizure dogs like Robbie is strong. "When I am out it is reassuring to know that Robbie will give me a 100% reliable 50-minute warning prior to every oncoming seizure I have - so plenty of time to get somewhere safe," Sally says. Drool, dribble, or spit. Whatever you call it, saliva can be thought of as disgusting. But many animals lick their wounds, applying liberal amounts of the stuff to try and prevent infection. Saliva across the animal kingdom can have antimicrobial properties - including saliva from the humble cow. Studies have shown that there are proteins in a cow's bodily fluids, including its saliva and milk, that have bug-fighting properties. Salvia also contains proteins - called mucins - that can work to prevent further bacteria entering the wound. Experts don't recommend letting an animal lick your wounds as they could introduce other bacteria, but if you don't fancy that then, luckily, your own spit also contains antibacterial properties. The selection was rushed through after the party's original candidate stood down last week. Wera Hobhouse was selected by members during a lunchtime meeting at Bath City Football Club, The seat is currently held by the Conservative MP Ben Howlett but was previously a Lib Dem stronghold, held by Don Foster for 23 years. The original prospective parliamentary candidate, Jay Risbridger, picked last autumn, stood down last week due to family and work commitments. Paul Strasburger, from the Lib Dems's campaign in Bath, said: "It's important to the party nationally because it's a very winnable seat, and therefore it's a central part of our desire to stop a Tory landslide." Ms Hobhouse, stood for the Lib Dems in North East Somerset at the last general election in 2015, but the seat was won by Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg. However, anyone who lets slip they might be in the running to be the Duchess's private secretary will not end up sitting behind an antique desk at Kensington Palace. The successful candidate will be discreet, self-effacing and efficient. A sense of humour and a sense of the absurd will be very necessary personal qualities. An ability to collect flowers from members of the public and to provide fashion advice won't be written into the job description. In public, they'll be a hovering presence and they'll call the duchess Your Royal Highness and Ma'am (to rhyme with jam); whether they call her Catherine in private depends on how well their relationship develops. The new private secretary will be appointed at a critical time. With the Queen a month away from her 91st birthday, the Cambridges will take on more royal duties. In the coming years the duchess' diet of engagements will grow and will be managed by her newest member of staff. This senior royal official will be an adviser, a confidante and, at the end of the day, a servant. They'll have a privileged position inside the House of Windsor bubble and, if they're wise, they won't overstay their welcome. When they do leave, like Rebecca Deacon before them, they'll know they'll have played a part in shaping, as things stand, the life of a future Queen Consort. Visitors to the Postal Museum can ride on a section of the 6.5 mile (10.5km) network, from 28 July. The track, which was established in 1927, took mail between Whitechapel and Paddington before it shut in 2003. Two new trains, based on the originals, will carry up to 32 passengers on a 0.6 mile (1km) section of the line. What is it like on the 'secret' Tube? While it was operational, between four and 12 million items were carried through the tunnels 70ft (21m) below street level each year. The museum, in Mount Pleasant, will also feature exhibitions of historical objects from the postal service as well as a children's area. Adult tickets will cost £16 including an optional £1.50 voluntary donation. Adrian Steel, the museum's director, said it would allow visitors "to discover our stories through interactive digital and physical displays." At least 50 US police forces are believed to be equipped with radars that can send signals through walls. The use of the radar device, known as Range-R, was made public in a Denver court late last year. It was used by police entering a house to arrest a man who had violated the terms of his parole. In court documents relating to the case, lawyers defending Steven Denson questioned whether officers entered his home lawfully. One of the questions asked was "how the Fourth Amendment interacts with the government's use of radar technology to peer inside a suspect's home". Although the judges upheld the search and Denson's conviction, they wrote that they had "little doubt that the radar device deployed here will soon generate many questions for this court". The Range-R sends out radio waves that can detect the slightest movements, including breathing, from as much as 50ft away. Originally developed to assist US forces fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, the radar motion detectors have proved popular with law enforcement agencies. USA Today, which first reported the case, said that agencies including the FBI and the US Marshals Service, had been using radars since 2012. The Marshals Service had spent at least $180,00 (£118,000) on them, it said. But none of the agencies has made any public disclosure about how or when the devices would be used. In 2001, the Supreme Court ruled that police cannot use thermal cameras without a warrant, specifically noting that the rule would also apply to radar-based systems that were then being developed. "The idea that government can send signals through the wall of your house to figure out what's inside is problematic," Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist for the American Civil Liberties Union told USA Today. "Technologies that allow the police to look inside of a home are among the intrusive tools that police have." Mother-of-one Kerry Power, 36, was killed by David Wilder, 44, in Plymouth, Devon, in 2013. Shortly before her death she dialled 999, but did not speak and so the call was not passed on to the police. Devon and Cornwall Police said it was sorry "for any failures". The so-called "silent solution" system is designed to deal with 999 calls that are either hoaxes or made accidentally. However, the investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found Miss Power may have been advised by a police officer that if she were to make an emergency call from her mobile phone - but did not speak - emergency assistance could still be despatched. Miss Power first called police on 28 November 2013 with concerns about damage to her car. Eight days later she complained that Wilder was stalking her, and she was visited by police the following day. A week later, on 14 December 2013, Wilder broke into her home and strangled her. Her 10-year-old son, who was sleeping upstairs, found her body. Wilder admitted murder and was jailed for life. The IPCC has now made national recommendations to ensure there is better accountability for the system and that its effectiveness is reviewed. Deputy Chief Constable Alan Todd, the National Police Chiefs' Council's lead for national contact management, said: "Our steering group has reviewed the system and concluded that it is effective at enabling people who are unable to speak to contact the police while filtering out the huge volumes of accidental 999 calls made every day. But he said the investigation into the handling of the Kerry Power murder "demonstrates the tragic consequences of people not knowing how the system works". The investigation also concluded that at the time of Miss Power's murder, police had not fully implemented guidance on dealing with allegations of stalking. IPCC associate commissioner Tom Milsom said: "Our investigation found that opportunities to identify the risk that David Wilder posed to her were not fully recognised by Devon and Cornwall Police." Sharon Taylor, assistant chief constable of Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "We are sorry for any failures on our part at that time. "As for the national 'silent solution' system, the force has a policy that gives staff clear guidance about how the system works and how to deal with a silent 999 call." The IPCC also considered that the performance of two call handlers, a sergeant, an inspector and a detective superintendent may have fallen short of the standard expected. They will be dealt with by way of performance procedures. The IPCC said a PCSO and two police officers had a case to answer for misconduct. One has since retired and will face no further action and the others are to be dealt with by way of performance procedures. A 40-year-old man from Harlow suffered head injuries and is in a critical condition at Addenbrooke's Hospital. A 43-year-old man, also from Harlow, was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with suspected fractures to his hands and bruising to his stomach. Police were called to The Stow in Harlow at about 23:35 BST on Saturday after reports of an assault. Det Insp Al Pitcher said it was a brutal attack outside take-away shops in the town centre and the four 15-year-old boys arrested were from the local area. Police have issued an appeal for witnesses and information about the attack. The current deal expires at midnight Pacific Standard Time (08:00 BST). Formal talks to reach a new deal have been going on since 13 March. Officially the two sides are not commenting on negotiations, but reports suggest a compromise is in the works. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) wants higher pay per episode and royalties for reruns. The writers' union, which represents about 9,000 people, says its members have been squeezed, as studios commission shows with fewer episodes, but lock up writers with exclusive contracts. The union also says writers are not sharing enough of the profits made from online streaming, which keeps shows and movies alive for years after first airing. The union estimates the average salary for TV writer-producers fell 23% in the last two years. Writers' Strike: Are US TV shows about to fall off air? Competition mounts for Netflix It says its requests would add about $156m in costs for the major production companies, which include firms such as 21st Century Fox and Time Warner. "The undeniable truth is that these costs are very affordable for these profitable companies," it said in a post on its website. About 96% of more than 6,000 WGA members voted to strike last week. Some took to social media to express solidarity, changing pictures on Twitter to spotlight their support. A strike would first affect topical shows, such as Saturday Night Live, which have enjoyed higher ratings since the election of Donald Trump as President, who has proved an popular target for news satire. The impact would be felt more slowly elsewhere. But analysts said the threat posed by online services, such as Amazon and Netflix, puts pressure on major broadcasters and cable companies to avoid a work stoppage. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents conglomerates such as Comcast Corp, Walt Disney Co and CBS Corp, said last week it is "committed to reaching a deal ... that keeps the industry working." Stephen Burke, a Comcast executive, told investors last week he was "optimistic" that the issues would be resolved. "Strikes aren't good for anybody," he said. "The people on both sides of the table tend to lose and I'm hopeful that we're going to get it done." The last WGA strike - a 100-day stoppage in 2007-2008 - cost the Californian economy an estimated $2.1 billion in lost output, according to a Milken Institute review. TV viewership dropped 21% in the first week, according to Nielsen figures. Online television was in its infancy at the time. Today, Amazon and Netflix are major competitors for eyeballs and have a deep reserve of programs to buffer them from viewer demands for new content. Those companies are not exempt from union demands. But they would be likely to emerge as big winners in any prolonged strike, which could lead to "lasting changes in viewership patterns", Barclays Capital analyst Kannan Venkateshwar wrote in a research note. Theodore Sarandos, the chief content officer at Netflix, told investors last month that the firm was "keeping an eye" on the situation and some productions could be held up by a strike. "Our fingers are crossed that, that won't happen," he said. 12 May 2017 Last updated at 15:36 BST It looks just like the scales of a dragon and is very unusual - it hasn't been seen since 2007. But what causes it? Watch Hayley's report to find out. Alexander Duncan, 59, was found in a flat in Primrose Street on Sunday. Police Scotland is appealing for witnesses who may have seen anything "unusual or suspicious". Det Insp Martin MacLean, of Police Scotland, said: " I am keen to speak to anyone who was in the Primrose Street area from Thursday 16th April onwards or who knew Alexander Duncan." Mr Frank, 71, said his decision to retire was partly based on redistricting plans in Massachusetts. A prominent liberal, he was the co-author of the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation passed in 2010. He was elected to represent Massachusetts in 1980 and became one of the first openly gay US politicians. In the Monday news conference, Mr Frank said that Massachusetts' redistricting in 2012 was part of the reason for his retirement. The state is to lose one representative in the House of Representatives. Mr Frank said that his new district would include many people he has never represented before. "I know my own capacity and energy levels and it would have been a mistake... I could not have put the requisite effort in," he said. Mr Frank has been a key Democratic member of the House for many years, including as chair and as the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee. As chair, Mr Frank helped pass the 2010 Dodd-Frank bill, which contained the strongest restrictions on banks and Wall Street since the Great Depression, and helped create the 2008 bailout legislation. In 1987 Mr Frank publicly acknowledged he was gay, becoming one of the first US politicians to do so. A few years later he was reprimanded by Congress for using his congressional status on behalf of a male prostitute he had employed as a personal assistant, including seeking the dismissal of 33 parking tickets. He also strongly opposed the Iraq war, consistently voting against authorisation and funding bills in Congress. Mr Frank is known for his outspoken liberal beliefs, and has attracted headlines for his speeches on the floor of the House and even when meeting constituents. At a town hall meeting in 2009, a woman asked Mr Frank how he could continue to "support a Nazi policy", referring to Mr Obama's healthcare reform plans. She held a picture of the president with a Hitler-like moustache. Mr Frank replied: "It is a tribute to the first amendment [of the US Constitution] that this kind of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated. "Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table," he added. "I have no interest in it." Mr Frank joins 16 Democrats and six Republicans who will not seek new terms in the House of Representatives in 2012. Because of changes to congressional district boundaries, Massachusetts will lose one seat in the House of Representatives in the next election. However, the plans do not affect Mr Frank's district. The government was twice defeated in the House of Lords over a £30 a week cut to Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) for certain claimants. But it is set to go ahead after peers deferred to the elected Commons. Ministers claimed "financial privilege" to assert the Commons' right to have the final say on budgetary measures. Ministers argue the changes will encourage people to get into work, but this is strongly disputed by opponents. The cuts in weekly support from £103 to £73, contained in the Welfare Reform and Work Bill, will apply to new ESA claimants in the work-related activity group, bringing the rate into line with Jobseeker's Allowance. It will affect people who are deemed unable to work at the moment but capable of making some effort to find employment, including attending work-focused interviews and taking part in training. Ministers argue that too few people in the category are moving into work and that while the lower benefit rate would save £55m in the first year, £60m would be spent on supporting claimants to take steps towards finding work. Work and Pensions minister Lord Freud acknowledged peers were only withdrawing their opposition with "great reluctance" after the Commons asserted financial privilege - its right to overrule any Lords proposal that has cost implications. He insisted that the Lords had "discharged their duty" by scrutinising the bill to remove "unintended consequences" and sending back concerns for the Commons to reconsider. But Paralympic gold medallist Baroness Grey-Thompson said she was disappointed such a "dreadful and punitive" part of the bill - which has been opposed by more than 30 charities - was going ahead. "It may be seen as a victory in terms of voting numbers in the Commons but we can't forget there are many disabled people who will lose out," the crossbench peer said. And Baroness Campbell of Surbiton, the co-chair of Parliament's All Party Disability Group, said she could not believe "the niceties of parliamentary protocol" had been allowed "to trump the lives of disabled people". The peer, who was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy when she was a baby and has become one of the UK's leading disability rights campaigners, said there was little evidence to back up the government's claims and "environmental and attitudinal discrimination" was the main obstacle holding disabled people back in the workplace. Disability rights campaigners Scope said the changes would have a "harmful impact" on half a million people. Surtees, 81, who won seven world motorbike championships before becoming F1 World Champion with Ferrari in 1964, has bought Buckmore Park in Kent. Modern-day F1 champions Hamilton and Button honed their skills on the Chatham circuit. Surtees and Buckmore Park announced the sale on their websites. John Surtees Ltd, based in Edenbridge on the Kent/Surrey border, has bought the business and assets of Buckmore Park, but the circuit's former owner Bill Sisley is to stay on as a consultant. Surtees, who lives in Lingfied, also runs the Henry Surtees Foundation, set up in memory of his 18-year-old racing driver son who died in a crash during a Formula Two race at Brands Hatch. Henry, who began driving as a child at Buckmore Park, was a pupil at Worth School, West Sussex, when he died. A series of fundraising events has been held at the kart circuit in his name. Water Direct said race organisers had made an order but the contract stated payment had to be made before delivery. In a statement it said that despite sending reminders to organisers no payment was received. Race organisers said the claim conflicted with their information and an investigation was still under way. The event, on Sunday morning, was called off after organisers said they were "let down" by Water Direct because it had failed to deliver supplies. Despite the cancellation many of the 4,100 entrants who had gathered at the race's starting line still ran it. Water Direct, which has supplied water for the event for the last two years, confirmed organisers had placed an order on the 21 March but it refuted suggestions it had "let them down". In a statement, it said: "After amending their requirements a number of times they did indeed place an order on 21 March accepting our offer, the terms of which, as always, clearly state that full payment is required in advance of delivery. "It is that payment that confirms the contract and triggers our process of scheduling the assets for delivery. "In the absence of that payment, despite our reminding them of the need to pay, the scheduling did not occur." The company added as a gesture of goodwill it has offered to provide water services free of charge for next year's event. Organisers have launched an investigation into the circumstances which led to the cancellation of the event. Jonathan Norbury, 35, from Swansea, denies having sex with three girls under the age of 16. He was cleared in court in January 2015 of alleged offences with two of the girls, who he did not teach. The Education Workforce Council (EWC) hearing to decide if the allegations are true was adjourned on Monday. The panel failed to reach a decision within the allocated period of time. The hearing in Cardiff was previously told Mr Norbury was sacked from Casllwchwr Primary School, in Loughor, for gross misconduct after the trial in 2015. Yet he was given an £8,000 payout and a glowing reference from Swansea Council. Mr Norbury accepts he had sexual relationships with the girls but he maintains none were below the legal age of 16 when he was with them. If the EWC panel decides the allegations are true, he faces a range of sanctions, including being banned from teaching. The violence on the southern island left three members of the security forces dead, officials say. Mindanao is home to a number of Muslim rebel groups seeking more autonomy. Mr Duterte made the announcement during a visit to Russia, which he was forced to cut short. Martial law allows the use of the military to enforce law and the detention of people without charge for long periods. During his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Duterte also said the Philippines needed more modern weapons to fight IS militants and other militant groups. The violence in Marawi, a city of about 200,000 people in Mindanao, erupted on Tuesday as the army searched for the leader of a militant group that had pledged allegiance to IS, the military said. Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana identified the militants as members of the Maute group. They had occupied a hospital and a jail, and burnt down buildings including a church, he added. Marawi is about 800km (500 miles) south of the capital Manila. The Philippine constitution says a president can only declare martial law for 60 days to stop an invasion or a rebellion. Parliament can revoke the measure within 48 hours while the Supreme Court can review its legality. The document, which was almost thrown away, was tucked in the corner of a box donated to the Julia's House children's hospice shop in Creekmoor, Poole. It marks the appointment of William Jacob as an Ensign in the Honourable Artillery Company in 1860. After being authenticated by signature experts and the Honourable Artillery Archive, the letter was sold online. The 16in by 12in (41cm by 30cm) document is dated 25 September 1860 and is counter-signed by Sidney Herbert - then Secretary of State for War. Graham Crabb, who is responsible for selling the charity's more unusual donated items, said: "I was in the sorting area searching for a biscuit and one of the volunteers was waving about the document in one hand and a Jammy Dodger in the other." He said it was not known where the donation came from. The letter raised £395 for the charity. The former Manchester United star, 42, and ex-team-mate Ryan Giggs, 43, asked Manchester City Council to delay making a decision on whether to allow plans including two skyscrapers in the city. They will now revise their ideas which were described by Historic England as a threat to "erase" the area's history. However, Mr Neville insisted he believed in the "scale" of the plans. The St Michael's development, near Manchester Town Hall, includes a 200-bed five-star hotel, 153 apartments, 135,000 sq ft of offices and a synagogue. Retail and leisure space, including two sky bars/restaurants, is planned for the 31-storey Number One St Michael's skyscraper and a 21-storey office tower would be housed in Number Two St Michael's. However, the Sir Ralph Abercromby pub - said to be the inspiration for the pub in the BBC's Life On Mars programme - and Bootle Street's former police station would have to be bulldozed, drawing the ire of local conservationists. Speaking at a property conference in the French city of Cannes, Mr Neville said: "From our point of view there is no doubt that some of the suggestions, made to us during the consultation process, we need to listen to. "We need to refine certain aspects of it and make changes to certain aspects. "We still fundamentally believe in [the] scale [of the project], we still fundamentally believe in the buildings being tall in that zone. "That is the absolute belief we have." The former footballers say the scheme will create 1,500 jobs and Mr Neville stressed he wanted the development to be "perfect". A council spokesman confirmed the footballers' representatives had requested their planning application be put on hold. Adam Hird, 30, from Epping, was stopped at the entrance of the No.65 bar on Albert Embankment in Vauxhall, in the early hours of 15 June. Officers, called at about 03:20 BST, found him collapsed on arrival. Mr Hird was taken to a hospital where he died on Tuesday afternoon. Four men, aged 21, 22, 29 and 50, have been arrested as part of the inquiry. The Met said it is treating the death as "suspicious". Police have appealed for information. Officers will return to the scene at Vauxhall on Saturday to ask potential witnesses to come forward. The 35-year-old returned to the club in August 2013 after spells at Oldham, Port Vale and Chesterfield. Whitaker came through the Silkmen's youth system and has made 329 appearances, and scored 50 goals, over this two spells. Manager John Askey has also announced that full-back Andy Halls will be the club captain for the upcoming season. The lands that were once home to Robert Burns, James Hogg and Christopher Murray Grieve - better known as Hugh MacDiarmid - have inspired more than their fair share of verse. Here, too, sits the nation's book town and home to an annual poetry prize - one section of which celebrates the Scots language. But as soon as this year's winner of that particular award speaks, you would know she hails from a little further west than Wigtown. Renita Boyle was born and raised in Wisconsin. She picked up a storytelling bug from her great-grandfather, a lumberjack, who used to tell her tales he had once recounted around the campfire. Then personal loss saw her turn to poetry. "I think, like a lot of people who write poetry or any kind of writing at all, they do it because they can't not - it is just something that is in you to do," she said. "My father died when I was 13 years old and the first thing I did was go up to my bedroom and I wrote a poem. "It is quite a therapeutic thing for me to do." Nonetheless, it was still quite a journey to end up gaining recognition for her writing in Scots. It is partly about belonging, she explained. She met her future husband in Glasgow more than 30 years ago. She was welcomed into that family before having family of her own and then moving to Wigtown a decade ago. Storytelling has always been in her blood but now, over the years, the words and ways of Scotland have started to seep in. Another factor has been the role of Wigtown itself, which she credits for a creative energy and artistic support network that gave her the push to give the language a try. One key figure in that effort was Scots poet and former James Hogg writer-in-residence, Rab Wilson. "Rab is always trying to get everybody to read and write in Scots," said Ms Boyle. "He's the one that actually said - when are you going to write a Scots poem?" Then Spring Fling writer-in-residence Marjorie Lofti Gill encouraged her to consider writing about an artwork. Her winning poem, Sloe Jen, was inspired by a piece by artist Lisa Hooper but also a motherly fear of watching her teenage son leave the nest. Judges praised the "lovely, consistent" use of the Scots language and described it as a "sad and beautiful work". Some will wonder how an American can possibly write in Scots, but Ms Boyle said that was not such a problem. It's reciting, still with a distinctive accent, that is most testing. But she has braved those waters just the same, thanks to a passion for the language that might put a few native Scots to shame. "I don't think I have conquered the Scots language," she said. "Although I have written in Scots, I won't ever write in Scots the way that a Scottish person would write in Scots. "There are some things you will never do in the same way as somebody who is native but there are other things you can bring to it because you are not native." Ms Boyle said it might be a one-off, she might never write poetry again in the language of her adopted nation but she burst with pride at the recognition her work received. "It meant a lot to me," she said. "I actually cried when I won and that was not just about winning a prize, that was actually about affirming an identity I think." As the world becomes a smaller place, it could be a trend we see more and more. Historically, too, some writers have turned their backs on their mother tongue for one they feel suits them better. A language is, after all, a living and evolving thing. So, perhaps you don't have to have used it all your life in order to get the best out of it. The £4.5m boost for deprived children in the Foundation Phase was a key Lib Dem manifesto pledge. Sources close to the education secretary say today's Budget represents a 3.5% rise, but that figure is hotly disputed by the Welsh Conservatives who say education faces cuts. The big cut of the day came in the form of the scrapping of the Schools Challenge Cymru scheme. Working with 40 secondary schools in some of Wales' most disadvantaged communities, the project had a budget of £20m and was aimed at improving results and the life chances of some of the country's poorest pupils. Schemes in London and Manchester reported significant improvements in exam results over five years. But Kirsty Williams was not thought to be fan of the scheme and so its scrapping came as little surprise to some head teachers. Maureen Harris, head teacher of Bishop Hedley Catholic High School in Merthyr Tydfil said the £320,000 her school had received over the two years of the project had been used to support projects including staff training and development and ICT and science projects. Although she was disappointed by the end of the scheme, Mrs Harris says she was grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of it. "We had access to experts including Professor Mel Ainscow (who led the initiative) and many of the schools who took part did improve," she said. "Of course we're disappointed that the scheme has come to an end." Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said the plans heralded "the biggest education reform package since the 1940's". The head teachers' union the NAHT was cautious about what today's budget would mean for school finances and the all-important bottom line. Rob Williams from the union said: "These reforms are against the backdrop of school budgets under pressure. Our members are struggling, they're losing staff and we're still talking about raising standards." Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders have been making progress on key issues since talks in Geneva began on Monday. Earlier, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said a deal on reunifying the island was "very close" but cautioned against hopes of a "quick" fix. The island's communities have been split since 1974. Key stumbling blocks to reaching a deal include the return of property to tens of thousands of Cypriots who fled their homes in 1974, and the question of whether any Turkish troops will remain in northern Cyprus after reunification. Turkey still has 30,000 troops stationed in the island's north, whose presence Greece opposes. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said discussions were "at a critical juncture" and that technical experts would now hold talks. Reports say the plan is for their meetings to begin on 18 January, with a focus on thorny security issues. Property: What should happen to the properties that Greek Cypriots had to abandon in 1974? Should they get the right to take their old homes back, or be compensated - and if so by how much? Security: How can the security of the Turkish Cypriots be guaranteed if Turkey's estimated 30,000 troops leave? Greek Cypriots see them as an occupying force, so should some stay or should Turkey retain the right to intervene? Who would act as a guarantor of the deal? The EU, of which Cyprus is already a member, or the UK, which has two military bases on the island? Power and the role of the EU: There is talk of a rotating presidency, but how would that work? And could a Turkish Cypriot president really represent the country from time-to-time at EU summits? Territory: How much more territory should Greek Cypriots gain to reflect the fact that they make up the majority of the island's population? UN peacekeeping forces estimate that 165,000 Greek Cypriots fled or were expelled from the north, and 45,000 Turkish Cypriots from the south, although the parties to the conflict say the figures are higher. Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias said himself, Mr Cavusoglu and UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson - who represent Cyprus's security guarantors - could meet again on 23 January. The end goal is for the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities to share power in a two-state federation. Any deal would have to win the support of both Cypriot communities in separate referendums. The talks look set to continue for some weeks, says the BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale, who is in Geneva. Originally an innovation for television coverage of cricket, Hawk-Eye has become a trusted tool for officials in cricket, tennis and now football. When the company was launched in 2001, it had two full-time employees based in Winchester. Fast-forward to 2013 and it is now owned by Sony, has 65 full-time staff and the technology is installed in 230 stadiums worldwide. Dr Paul Hawkins came up with the idea in 1999 and after 18 months of development, the technology made its debut during Channel 4's coverage of the 2001 Ashes series. A Royal Society Television Award for technical innovation followed, and the company Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd was established - with a focus on developing the technology for use in tennis. A year later, Hawk-Eye was used in this way for the first time during the BBC's Davis Cup coverage. It received two more TV awards for innovation in 2003 and 2004, including an Emmy. After some controversial line-calls in major tennis matches, some questioned whether the technology could be used for more than just the benefit of a TV audience. The International Tennis Federation eventually approved the use of Hawk-Eye as an aid to be used by umpires, should any judgements be disputed or too close to call. Hawk-Eye was first used in a tennis tournament in 2005, making its official Wimbledon debut in 2007. Despite being praised by many, not everyone has been in favour of the technology. Most notably, 17-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer has said in the past that Hawk-Eye is not accurate enough and has even called for it to be scrapped. But such criticism has not hindered the technology's global success, and in 2011 the company was bought by Sony for an undisclosed sum. The firm's staff and developers are now based at Sony's European headquarters in Basingstoke, Hampshire, where the units are put together in a warehouse on site. A number of staff are also based abroad, following tennis tours and working at international stadiums. The company had a setback in early 2013, when it missed out on the contract to supply goal-line technology for the 2014 World Cup to its German rival, GoalControl. But the Premier League deal confirms Hawk-Eye as a leading player in football's greater use of technology to assist officials. The company's accounts are private, but the agreement with the Premier League is reported to be worth millions of pounds. Love won and converted a penalty and also struck from open play before setting up Andy Jackson to score. Brechin now trail East Fife only on goal difference. In League Two, Elgin City drew 1-1 with bottom side Cowdenbeath, Dale Carrick's strike cancelling out Brian Cameron's effort for City. Despite only taking a point and going level with Annan Athletic, Elgin move above the Galabankies into third place with a superior goal difference. Cowden are now four points adrift at the bottom. The kick-off of both matches had been delayed due to Tuesday's temporary closure of the Forth Road Bridge. Kate Chisholm, of Skerne Park Academy, Darlington, made the appeal after she noticed more and more adults wearing pyjamas at the school gates as well as at meetings and assemblies. She said her aim was to help set a good example for pupils. Parent Phil Naylor said wearing nightwear to school was "disgraceful". Ms Chisholm said the final straw came when parents wore pyjamas to the Christmas show and to recent parents' evenings. "It just got to the point when I thought 'enough's enough'," she said. "I'm not trying to tell people what to do with their lives, but I just think having a really good role model first thing in the morning, getting yourself up, getting yourself dressed, ready for business, out to school is a really good example to set. "I'm afraid wearing pyjamas, going to school, maybe doesn't reinforce that somehow." In her letter, Ms Chisholm wrote: "If we're to raise standards it's not too much to ask parents to have a wash and get dressed. "I have had loads of support from the community and people saying it's about time something was done. I have had far more positive responses than negative," she said. "If I get the parents on board then we often get the children too and in order to get the best chances for the children we have to raise the bar with the parents." School parent Mr Naylor said Ms Chisholm had his support: "It's disgraceful, we should be guiding our children not giving them bad habits." 24 December 2016 Last updated at 09:14 GMT It is broadcast on BBC radio, but unless you work at King's the only way to be there in person is to queue. For more than 40 years, Ian de Massini has camped outside for three nights to ensure his place in the chapel. He has been captivated since the first time he did it at the age of 16. Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday when he first joined the queue, he said: "I had never experienced such ecstasy of being in a building of such beauty and simplicity. Coming home to this thing once a year reminds you of why we're here." The Festival is separate to that of Carols from King's, which is broadcast on BBC TV on Christmas Eve but is recorded earlier in December. The footage of carol singers used in this clip was shot during the TV rehearsal on 16 December. The Tykes began the day 421-7, and Jack Brooks soon scored the six singles he needed to complete his maiden first-class ton before ending unbeaten on 109 as Yorkshire declared at 448-8. Ryan Sidebottom (2-41) then struck twice as Lancashire slipped to 68-4. But Chanderpaul (106) and Ryan McLaren (63 not out) helped Lancashire reach 264-6 at stumps, 184 runs behind. However, the dismissal of Chanderpaul by Ben Coad with fewer than five overs left in the day will reignite Yorkshire's hopes of forcing victory if they can clean up the tail on the fourth morning. It is also not yet certain whether James Anderson will bat, the 34-year-old England fast bowler having had to leave the field of play on day one with a tight groin. Chanderpaul's knock, the 75th first-class century of his career and his fourth for Lancashire, came off 199 balls, including 11 fours and one six. He and McLaren shared 112 for the sixth wicket as the Red Rose endeavoured to frustrate the visiting bowlers. Earlier in the day, 32-year-old seamer Brooks reached three figures for the first time in his career, having passed his previous best score of 53 the previous day. Lancashire's Shiv Chanderpaul told BBC Radio Manchester: "It was hard work out there. We lost some early wickets and someone had to dig in and lay the foundation. Ryan batted really well, as did Dane Vilas. "Hopefully Ryan can push on and get us beyond the 300-mark and put some more bonus points on the board for us. If we get to 300, we are in a good position to not have to bat again in this match. "I couldn't believe that I missed that ball and got out. I was really looking forward to batting on tomorrow. I was looking at the scoreboard to see how many overs were left and trying to see out the evening. But that's the way cricket goes." Yorkshire's Jack Brooks told BBC Radio Leeds: "It's surreal. It hasn't really sunk in. I never expected to get a hundred in my career, although I did say to the lads the other day that I've got one in me, but that was more in jest than anything. "I didn't need Jack Leaning getting out straightaway. Ben Coad is the most nervous man in the world and was panicking more than anyone. "We need to go bang, bang, bang, bang in the morning before they get to the follow-on. We've got a new ball in our hands, the bowlers will be fresher in the morning and we've opened up an end."

The actress, who has served as the UN Goodwill Ambassador since 2006, appears in an ad campaign for the airline. The company launched the campaign with Nicole Kidman onboard its new Airbus. The Association of Professional Flight Attendants released a statement urging her to step down. In an open letter to the Oscar-winning actress, Laura Glading, the president of the union, which represents 25,000 American flight attendants, claimed the sponsorship deal was at odds with her role as a UN Women's Goodwill Ambassador. The statement, released to the Hollywood Reporter, said: "We urge you, on behalf of the women and girls that you spoke of so eloquently [on International Women's Day], not to play a part in promoting Etihad Airways, a company that imposes abusive labour practices on its female employees and whose sole owner is a government that stands against the very world that you imagine. "Later that very same week, we saw that you had begun appearing in a new campaign for Etihad, a company that the Wall Street Journal has publicly reported 'may fire women if they become pregnant' and forces flight attendants to live in 'confinement' in secure compounds'. "These are the types of conditions that APFA fought to eradicate decades ago in the United States." The airline responded saying: "Our commitment to the welfare, safety, and well-being of the diverse group of men and women who have worked so hard to make Etihad Airways great is one of our airline's top priorities." Specifically addressing the claims about pregnancy, Etihad said it "fully supports its cabin crew during and after their pregnancy". The statement went on: "When a cabin crew member informs Etihad of a pregnancy, she is provided with appropriate ground duties for the duration of their pregnancy. During this time, she remains fully compensated and fully engaged on the ground." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Media playback is not supported on this device Needing 13 frames to win, he raced into a 3-1 lead with breaks of 91, 75 and a magnificent 128, and maintained his relentless pace after the mid-session interval. Murphy was unable to withstand the pressure, meaning O'Sullivan is a strong favourite to clinch a quarter-final tie against Ding Junhui or Liang Wenbo at the Crucible. In dismissing O'Sullivan's controversial claims that he had been bullied by snooker chiefs, Murphy added further spice to an already uneasy relationship and O'Sullivan responded in blistering fashion. Media playback is not supported on this device The Rocket's domination means world number five Murphy could face defeat inside two sessions for the second time against O'Sullivan at the Crucible, having lost 13-3 in the quarter-finals in 2014. Nottingham's Murphy, the 2005 champion, had scored a superb 84 of his own to level at 1-1 and had chances in frames five and six before clinching an error-seven, tension-filled seventh frame on the black. But O'Sullivan, 41, finished off with a superb 74 to remain on course for a sixth world title and 29th ranking title. Meanwhile, Barry Hawkins made light work of Leicester's Tom Ford in the final first-round match to be completed. The 2013 runner-up led 7-2 overnight and although Ford won the opening frame, Hawkins looked untroubled and in good form to secure a last-16 meeting with Scotland's Graeme Dott. BBC Radio 5 live's George Riley on the O'Sullivan v Murphy rivalry The bottom line is that although there's great professional respect between these two superstar players, they don't particularly like each other. That comes down to a spectacular clash in personalities. Shaun is very much the eloquent, thoughtful, considered company man who will probably be involved with the governing body one day. Ronnie is the unpredictable enigma who will never be anything other than his own man. Murphy clearly thinks O'Sullivan's claims of bullying by the game's authorities are nonsense and said as much. That will have really wound Ronnie up. He was prowling the length of the Crucible corridors as they awaited their introductions into the arena. I walked past O'Sullivan and he had that look of channelled fury in his eyes that scares you. You could tell he wanted to hammer Murphy. NHS Highland has proposed relocating care provided at the Highland Heartbeat Centre at Raigmore Hospital to the city's Centre for Health Sciences. It also plans to move the exercise element of rehabilitation into local leisure centres and other facilities. However, campaigners are critical of the health board's handling of the closure of the Heartbeat Centre. The We All Need the Heartbeat Campaign accuses NHS Highland, which could, subject to approval, make the changes by the end of September, of an "asset grab". The centre was opened in 2005 after hundreds of thousands of pounds was raised through a public fundraising effort. The rest of the money needed was provided by the British Heart Foundation. NHS Highland, which plans to put the building to a new use, said the changes would help to improve cardiac rehabilitation. A spokesman said moving services to the Centre for Health Sciences would allow collaborative working with other health specialists. He said providing the exercise element at leisure centres would bring this part of the care into the communities where heart patients lived. All the proposals are subject to approval by a committee at the health board. The spokesman added: "Only after these plans are in place will the redesign services team at Raigmore then take over responsibility of the space currently occupied by the Heartbeat Centre." A spokesman for the We All Need the Heartbeat Campaign said NHS Highland bosses were "continuing to drive a coach and horses through one of the greatest community charity initiated and paid for health initiatives ever set up in Scotland". Sean McKinley, who owns a farm beside the castle on the north coast, plans to build the centre just opposite it. After a planning debacle that has lasted for years, the Planning Appeals Commission has now granted outline planning approval for the development. It allows for the demolition of the existing tea rooms at Dunluce and some farm buildings. They will be replaced with a "visitor centre building incorporating tourism, recreational, educational, hot food, retail and conference and office uses". Speaking publicly for the first time about his plan, Mr McKinley told the BBC that he hopes to begin work on the centre within the next 12 to 18 months. "This kicked off approximately five years ago because of tourist numbers increasing on the site," he said. "I personally felt there was an opportunity for me to enhance the site, and not be selfish on the site, and facilitate the people who come from all around the world. "Equally important is that people in the private sector in the area also get a spin out of this. That was my intention from the start and still is." His plan includes provision for a car park. Unlike at the Giant's Causeway, parking at Dunluce Castle is free. Asked if this is likely to change after his development goes ahead, Mr McKinley said: "Possibly further down the line. That has all to be played out. It all depends how we go forward with funding etc. " Scheme architect Johann Muldoon said: "We are beyond delighted. Projects like this at an iconic site beside a national monument only come along once in a lifetime." Mr McKinley first applied for planning approval several years ago and because of the delays involved in the planning process, he brought his case to the appeals commission for adjudication. It has now found in his favour and granted him the approval to go ahead with his private scheme, subject to more detailed plans being submitted. The Department of the Environment has its own plans to enhance the visitor experience at Dunluce. Originally, planners objected to the farmers' proposals. The Planning Authority presented 10 reasons why it should be turned down, but at the appeal hearing all 10 reasons for refusal were withdrawn. A spokesperson for the DoE said: "The department remains committed to the development of a heritage visitors centre at Dunluce. "It is considering options for how best to do so and will be engaging with the adjacent landowner [Mr McKinley] and with other organisations, including the National Trust and Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council in doing so." Gross domestic product rose at an annualised rate of 2.2% in the three months to September, the third consecutive quarter of expansion. Japanese firms have relied on overseas sales to make up for lacklustre domestic demand. There are concerns a Donald Trump US presidency will hurt Japan if anti-free trade rhetoric became a reality. But since the election result, the yen has fallen against the dollar. That makes Japanese goods cheaper abroad, which is good news for the country's exporters. The latest official data showed the world's third-largest economy expanded by 0.5% compared with the three months to June - better than the forecast of 0.2% growth. It was some rare good news for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's projects to help stimulate the economy - dubbed Abenomics. However, analysts said this pace could not be sustained given Japan's reliance on exports. "Consumption is barely there, and in capital expenditure there no growth ... so Japan is relying very much on the outside," Takuji Okubo, chief economist of Japan Macro Advisers, told the BBC. And Kohei Iwahara, an economist at Natixis Japan Securities, said the figures could be a "one-off windfall", predicting a slowdown in the last three months of 2016. In August, Japan's cabinet approved an economic stimulus package worth more than 28 trillion yen ($275bn; £207bn) - Mr Abe's latest attempt to boost growth through spending. However economists were largely disappointed with both its scope and likely impact. And last month Japan's central bank again pushed back the timeline for hitting its 2% inflation target to March 2019 - a move that raised more questions about the country's economic recovery. Media playback is not supported on this device Ibrahimovic, 35, joined United in the summer on a one-year deal - with an option to extend his stay at Old Trafford for a second season. The Swede has scored 26 goals in 38 games this season, including two in the 3-2 EFL Cup final win over Southampton. "I never beg a player to play for me, but we all want and believe he will stay one more season," said Mourinho. "I never beg for a player to sign a contract. But if needed, the fans can go to the door of his house and stay there all night." Ibrahimovic joined United from Paris St-Germain on a free transfer. He collected the 32nd trophy of his career after heading an 87th-minute winner at Wembley, having earlier given his side the lead with a brilliant 19th-minute free-kick. Jesse Lingard put United 2-0 in front before Manolo Gabbiadini scored twice for the Saints to level, after having an 11th-minute effort contentiously ruled out for offside. Mourinho, who also managed Ibrahimovic at Inter Milan, added: "Zlatan won the game for us because he was outstanding. "When he went to Barcelona [from Inter, in 2009], I was very sad. I know the potential. Only a silly player comes to England if he doesn't feel he can do it. Who better to know? Him. Not me or you. "When he decided to come here it is because he feels ready. It is not my credit. It is him. Nothing for me." When asked about his future at Old Trafford earlier in February, Ibrahimovic replied: "Nothing is done. We'll wait and see." Speaking after Sunday's final, he said: "Wherever I have gone I have won. I think this is trophy number 32 for me. This is what I predicted. "My friend, I keep doing it. I am enjoying it in England. You appreciate it more the older you get. This is what I came for - to win, and I am winning." 'Echoes of Cantona' - analysis BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty Mourinho's move to bring Ibrahimovic in on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain was strategic and wise. He is a personality of equal stature and confidence, had a point to prove having never played in England and could provide the sort of charisma that had echoes of the great Eric Cantona. How United needed Ibrahimovic on Sunday because for long periods they were desperately average, outplayed by Southampton and had their hand held by Lady Luck throughout. If United are to build on this first trophy of the Mourinho era, Ibrahimovic's continued presence is essential because the EFL Cup final win is only the first building block in an edifice that requires considerable renovation after the dismal post-Sir Alex Ferguson years of David Moyes and Van Gaal.

Carter, 26, will be available for Championship matches against Leicestershire, Surrey and Derbyshire. Hogan hurt a hamstring playing for Western Australia and hopes to return against Derbyshire on 2 May, but is still awaiting further medical opinion. "I've done a few running sessions, it feels positive but we'll wait and see how the scan comes back," Hogan said. "I can do 85 to 90% of the things I'm required to do but we're not sure if I can bowl or not. We're quite tentative as to getting back into bowling because that's what happened last time I went back maybe a week too soon. "It felt really good before and it happened [the re-occurrence]. "So it's frustrating I'm not able to participate in full training but positive in that it could have been a potential three-month injury and it's not going to end up like that." In the meantime Carter, who has taken 70 wickets at 29.71 in 24 first-class matches since his debut in 2009, is set to make his first Glamorgan appearance at Grace Road on Sunday. "I'm keen to play first-class cricket and Nottinghamshire want me to be involved in competitive matches," Carter told the Glamorgan website. "I've never been one to sit around and my previous loan move to Essex worked out well for me and helped me to break into the Nottinghamshire team." McConnell, 27, was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, after being found guilty of attacking the former Hollyoaks actress. Miss Davis told the trial she thought that "psychotic" McConnell was "going to kill" her after taking cocaine. McConnell was also ordered to complete 200 hours community service. Miss Davis, 24, said McConnell threatened to throw acid in her face during the drink and drug-fuelled bust-up at her home in Rainhill, Merseyside, on March 10. McConnell, from Swords, in the Republic of Ireland, first met his former partner after they appeared together on Celebrity Big Brother. He had denied the attack, branding Miss Davis a "blatant liar", but was convicted of assaulting her during a trial on Monday at Liverpool Magistrates' Court. The court was shown photos of a bruise that Miss Davis said was caused by McConnell biting her arm, as well as extensive bruises to her legs and body, said to be caused by punches. Passing sentence District Judge Wendy Lloyd told McConnell he had shown no remorse and attacked his ex as she held their baby in her arms after he had taken alcohol and cocaine. She told him: "If you get yourself into such a state then you have to accept responsibility for it." Judge Lloyd also imposed a restraining order on McConnell for three years, banning him from contacting Miss Davis except through intermediaries and for the purpose of contact with their child. James Morris, defending McConnell, told the court about the Dubliner's tough upbringing and a series of personal family tragedies. Mr Morris said: "Mr McConnell clearly has had a number of demons in his past that needs to be addressed." He added: "It's fair to say this was a volatile relationship where accusations of infidelity reared their ugly heads on a regular basis." The court was told the defendant had attended a private rehab clinic in Ireland to be treated for "chemical dependency" and he was now free of cocaine use. In a victim impact statement read to the court, Miss Davis, who was not present, said the attack had left her a "nervous wreck". She said: "I feel like I'm drowning...I feel numb inside and just want this nightmare to be over." The 38 people from around the country are each receiving at least £21,213 after their success in the Mega Friday draw on 27 February. The syndicate, known as "Gary's Players", was set up more than two-and-a-half years ago by 47-year-old Gary Schei, of East Linton in East Lothian. The finance manager had four shares in the syndicate, netting him £84,852. He said: "It's great to win and I think most of the money will go towards the mortgage, although there may be a little treat or two. "I have a nine-year-old daughter so I think a holiday may be on the cards, but we'll have to wait and see. "Others in the syndicate are slightly more impulsive than me, one lady went out and bought herself her dream motorbike - a pink Harley-Davidson - while another winner sent me a picture of their credit card that they had cut up into pieces. "The win really has made such a difference to so many people, it's fantastic." Mr Schei previously decided playing would be more enjoyable if he did it as part of a group and so sent all his friends and family on Facebook a message inviting them to join the syndicate. He said: "The syndicate includes friends and family from far and wide - my partner Amanda, my mother, two sisters, a few neighbours, old school friends, golf buddies, friends and family of my friends - it's a huge network of people dotted all over the country, most of whom have never even met each other but who are all in some way connected to me. "Hopefully one day in the not too distant future we'll all be able to get together and celebrate." In addition to the £1,103,080 EuroMillions win, the syndicate has enjoyed some luck over the years with 79 smaller wins. Mr Schei told how he got a variety of different reactions from his friends and family when he informed them of his latest win. He said: "As it was Saturday not everyone had checked their emails, so I started calling round. "It was hilarious, I got everything from screaming, tears, complete disbelief and stunned silence. It was so nice to be able to bring joy to so many people. "One member had bought shares for his parents so they were amazed to find out they had over £40,000 coming their way." Seymour Stephenson-Dall, 73, from Bingley, has been charged with four counts of indecent assault. Police said the charges related to offences at Whinmoor Children's Home in the 1970s. Two other men were charged last month as part of the ongoing investigation, Operation Polymer, over offences committed at the home during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Graham Walker, 76, from Leeds is charged with 17 counts of indecent assault and four other sex offences. Lawrence Dean, 82, from North Yorkshire is charged with two counts of indecent assault and one other sexual offence. Both are due to appear at Leeds Crown Court on 29 June. Mr Stephenson-Dall is due before the city's magistrates' on 15 July. Police said nine other men arrested as part of the inquiry were released on bail pending further enquiries, while a further three were interviewed by voluntary attendance. The past two winters have been the worst for more than a decade with hospitals creaking under the strain. The four-hour waiting time target in A&E has been missed and record delays have been experienced in discharging patients. In many ways, the health service has got lucky as flu levels have remained low. If they hadn't, the problems would have been much, much worse. But the prospect of a full-blown winter crisis this time round is making everyone jittery - and so more effort than ever is being made to ensure plans are in place to help the health service cope. This can be seen from evidence submitted by bosses at NHS England and the Department of Health to the House of Commons Health Committee as part of its inquiry into winter pressures. The document outlines a range of new measures, including extending the flu vaccination campaign to school Year 3, better communication about what services are available as alternatives to A&E, increasing the number of clinical staff in the 111 urgent phone service and streaming patients at the front door of A&E by increasing the presence of GPs. These measures will start being rolled out from October, while hospitals and the wider emergency care service have also been given the green light to take a series of other steps if they are under particular pressure. As always, routine operations can be cancelled to release resources, but this year, ambulance services are being given more freedom to delay sending crews out and hospitals are being encouraged to send nursing teams into people's homes to allow them to be discharged more speedily. (Part of the reason they have found the last two winters difficult is that they have not been able to send frail patients home because of a lack of community care.) Meanwhile, a specialist support team has been set up to help advise A&E units about other smaller scale measures they can take and - as has happened previously - a national crisis team is being established to step in if pressures grow so great they require national co-ordination. But will all this work? Despite the extra money being ploughed into the NHS there is a shortage of staff, particularly in high-pressure environments like A&E. "It is getting more and more difficult to cope each time," says Dr Cliff Mann, president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. "They are focusing on the right things, but all it will take is for something unexpected to happen and we are going to find it very difficult." Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter Prime Minister David Cameron and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt have called on health ministers from the member countries to attend the meeting in London on 11 December. Mr Hunt described the condition as a global challenge. Currently there are 35.6 million people worldwide living with dementia. By 2020 the figure will be nearly 70 million. The total estimated worldwide cost of dementia was $604bn (£386bn) in 2010. About 70% of the costs occur in Western Europe and North America. But nearly 60% of people with the condition live in developing countries. As their populations grow and age, the pressure on their services and budgets will increase. Mr Hunt said: "This is a global challenge and one which is set to intensify. "While we continue to pursue tomorrow's cures, it is critical now more than ever to pay serious attention to what we can do to reduce the average number of years living with the condition. "The G8 today have a unique chance to come together to help people manage dementia better, lead healthier lives and deliver real improvements in care and substantial economic savings." Hilary Evans, of Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "Worryingly, there have been no new treatments for dementia since 2003 and those in existence only offer modest efficacy. "We desperately need new treatments and interventions that can delay the onset, slow the progression and manage the symptoms of dementia. "Only through increased research can we make progress and offer hope to people with dementia." The tech giant touted the machine's specs, including its ability to run games in 4K ultra-HD, ahead of the E3 games show in Los Angeles. To be released on 7 November, the Xbox One X will cost $499, or £449 in the UK. One analyst said Microsoft was keen to keep attracting hardcore gamers. The system, which also runs games at 60 frames-per-second (fps), was labelled "the most powerful console ever made" on stage by Phil Spencer, head of Xbox. It is also the smallest Xbox yet. It joins the Xbox One S - a slimmer version of the Xbox One that supports 4K video streaming - in the roster of consoles that make up Microsoft's latest console generation. The Xbox One X's name raised a few eyebrows, with some gamers describing it as a "tongue-twister" online. "I suspect we'll get used to it - the same way we got used to the Wii and Wii U," said Paul Jackson, an analyst at Ovum. Sony, too, has a console with 4K capabilities - the PS4 Pro - which it released in November last year. However, the PS4 Pro's specifications - including memory and processor speed - are lower than those of the Xbox One X. It boasts 12 gigabytes of RAM to the PS4 Pro's 8 gigabytes, for example, and 6 teraflops of graphics processing power compared to 4.12. Plus, unlike Sony's machine, Microsoft's is able to play 4K ultra-HD Blu-ray discs. Both consoles can "scale up" games not made at 4K resolution to enhance their visuals. However, while the Xbox One X is capable of supporting virtual reality gaming, there was almost no mention of this during the presentation and no demonstrations of games that use VR headsets. "The Xbox One X is targeted at a specific audience, which is at this stage early-adopting Xbox fans - console gamers that want the best device," said Piers Harding-Rolls, a gaming analyst at IHS Technology. The console will also be immediately compatible with all existing Xbox One games. This was another point that would play well with the hardcore fans, suggested Mr Harding-Rolls. However, he added that the broader spectrum of gamers would likely be more interested in new titles exclusive to the console that might tempt them into buying it. He added, though, that there was not much on offer that appeared targeted at families and younger gamers - but Super Lucky's Tale, a brightly coloured platform game featuring a plucky fox, did fall into this category. "I didn't really see anything else which was oriented at the family," Mr Harding-Rolls noted. It was possible that allowing gamers to play visually enhanced versions of Xbox One games on the most powerful version of the console would encourage them to make the jump to the beefier hardware, suggested Mr Jackson. "It could drive platform preference and earlier uptake of the new device," he said. Before the Xbox event, the BBC was given a brief look at the new console. With its 4K, 60 fps visuals, it of course looks terrific. But I think there are big questions about Microsoft's strategy. Xbox wants all the games to be completely backwards-compatible with the cheaper Xbox consoles, and so the only improvements will be visual - no new gameplay experiences making use of that extra computing power. At $499, that's a big additional cost when - to its credit - the Xbox One is still a graphically brilliant console. You won't notice much difference unless you have the TV and surround system to do the new hardware justice. When Xbox One X was announced at E3 last year - then codenamed Project Scorpio - it seemed Microsoft was gearing up to tackle the biggest new area in gaming, virtual reality. That's why it needed the extra power, we were told. And yet there's not a single VR title launching with the Xbox One X. Given that Sony has already shifted more than one million headsets that work with PlayStation, I'm surprised Microsoft still doesn't have a competing offer. It makes you wonder how enthusiastic developers will be to make use of that extra power if relatively few gamers will get to enjoy it. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC A total of 42 games, 22 of which are exclusive to Microsoft's Xbox One consoles, were shown off at the press show. "It felt a little bit like they were throwing the kitchen sink at it, just really pounding away at the idea that they were the gamers' choice in terms of the platform," Mr Harding-Rolls told the BBC. Sea of Thieves, a pirate-themed multiplayer game, and State of Decay 2, a zombie survival sequel, were among the exclusive titles highlighted by Microsoft. An unusual-looking fantasy game called The Last Night, set in a Blade Runner-like universe, was also teased. These and many others will be available only on the Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles and Windows PCs. A string of other, non-exclusive, titles were also part of the presentation. These included Anthem, a futuristic multiplayer game where friends can team up to explore new worlds with an arsenal of high-powered weaponry - and jetpacks. Gameplay footage of Middle-earth: Shadow of War featured, in which the hero assembles a team of wise-cracking orcs to rampage around Mordor. And there was news about Minecraft - the hugely popular game will be updated to 4K resolution on certain platforms, including the Xbox One X, this autumn. Read and watch more E3 coverage And yet that is what many boardrooms from Berlin to Baden Wurttemberg will be doing this morning, however discreetly, after Jeremy Corbyn outperformed expectations and ate into the Conservative Party's majority. The reason for this embrace, simply, is the single market. Initially, there had been little-to-no interest in the UK election in German business circles. Most, like the polls, assumed a comprehensive win for Theresa May, and the size of her majority was seen as being of negligible consequence to the direction of Brexit negotiations. As one chief executive of a German-based multinational put it: "A weak or strong UK government still really has no negotiation power in the Brexit. The EU will still set the agenda and terms." Indeed, many firms, especially those in the Mittelstand - Germany's small and medium-sized businesses that often have close links to the UK - had been working on the assumption of a so-called "hard Brexit" for months. Quite a few mentioned that they were courting other growing EU export markets - Poland, for example. But as the polls began to narrow, there was a last minute scurry to understand what a Jeremy Corbyn-led approach to Brexit would be - with some privately concluding that the chances of keeping Britain in the single market might be higher under Mr Corbyn, even as they disagreed with many parts of his economic platform. What seemed like a last ditch effort by the head of the BDA, the German Employers Association, to find a solution that would enable the UK government to negotiate some form of single market access after Brexit, suddenly didn't seem as far-fetched. This morning, Ingo Kramer, the BDA's president, wasted no time in declaring that the UK election results showed "nationalism and anti-EU rhetoric" could not lead to majorities, before adding, somewhat triumphantly: "We can only hope that more realism and pragmatism will now be injected into the Brexit negotiations." Jorg Kramer, Commerzbank's chief economist, reacted with similar cheer, saying Thursday's result was a "vote against a hard Brexit". The head of the BDI, Dieter Kempf, said a "hard Brexit" had been voted out, and that it was time for the UK government to " de-escalate its rhetoric". The Dax share index in Frankfurt rose by almost 1%. Yet the reaction has not been unanimously favourable. Some, including the quietly influential VDMA - which represents German engineering firms, said they feared a hung parliament or minority government would derail negotiations for months, or kick them into the long grass, leading to far greater uncertainty. "The unclear political situation after the elections in the UK will make the Brexit negotiations even more difficult," said Thilo Brodtmann, VDMA's chief executive. Mr Brodtmann added that the result was "bad news" for German mechanical engineering firms, who export 7.3bn euros worth to the UK every year, and that there was now an increased risk of no agreement being reached by the 2019 deadline. Martin Wansleben, who leads the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce, or DIHK, struck a similarly downbeat tone. The lack of a clear majority had led to an increase of uncertainty in the German economy, he said, and the "road map for Brexit negotiations is now obsolete". A handful of small business owners, whose trade links with the UK are less vital, suggested a swift and smooth Brexit resolution remained paramount, as the act itself had long been priced in, whether hard or soft. But regardless of the reaction, one thing seems certain. German interest in the intricacies of the UK parliamentary system has never been this high. The 19-year-old has made 11 first-team appearances for the Hammers, including in this year's Europa League. He spent last season on loan at League One club Bradford, where he won player of the year after playing 36 times. "The fact West Ham have signed him up to a four-year-deal tells you how highly they rate him," Latics boss Gary Caldwell told the club website.

Matty Dawson, Danny Tickle and Ben Reynolds went over in a flying Leigh start, and although Jodie Broughton and Mickael Simon replied, a Sam Hopkins double put the visitors in control. Fouad Yaha and Vincent Duport scored as Dragons chipped away and then levelled. A Reynolds penalty earned Leigh a 36-34 lead but Bousquet crossed to win it. Bousquet's score handed former England coach Steve McNamara a thrilling win in his first home game in charge of Catalans, but it seemed unlikely after a disastrous start. Matty Dawson crossed in the corner inside five minutes and Tickle and Reynolds soon made it 18-0 at the Stade Gilbert Brutus in Perpignan. The gap between the sides was still 16 points at the interval, but the momentum shifted following two tries inside a minute by Yaha and Duport. Reynolds stopped the rot, scoring his second try and, after Sam Moa and Justin Horo levelled the scores, he kicked a penalty that would seemingly earn victory and take Leigh off the foot off the table. But Bousquet powered over to put Catalans ahead for the first time in the match and Walsh slotted his sixth kick to complete the scoring. Catalans Dragons head coach Steve McNamara: "It's a proud moment for me to be here after a win. "The attitude and behaviour of the players on the field tonight was one that pleased me. They gave everything tonight, never gave up and were rewarded at the end of the game with picking up the two points. "It's a result that has the ability to give us confidence in the coming weeks." Leigh Centurions head coach Neil Jukes: "Naturally we are disappointed, there are some good things that we can take away but obviously we still have some things to work on. "I'm very disappointed about the last try. We spoke about the penalty count swinging away from us in the second half and in the first set we gave away a penalty and that set the tone for the second half. "Then in the last minute we don't play the ball correctly and you don't want to be in those kinds of situations." Catalans Dragons: Gigot, Broughton, Inu, Duport, Yaha, Walsh, Myler, Moa, Aiton, Casty, Horo, Bird, Baitieri. Replacements: Anderson, Bousquet, Garcia, Simon. Leigh Centurions: Brown, Higson, Crooks, Dawson, Drinkwater, Paterson, Stewart, Hansen, Tickle, Reynolds, Hood, Acton, Fleming. Replacements: Pelissier, Maria, Hopkins, Burr. Referee: Gareth Hewer (RFL) Residents of a neighbourhood in the southside of Glasgow transformed their front windows for an evening arts trail. The event on Saturday 25 February saw hundreds of people wandering around Strathbungo to enjoy the home-made window displays in many of the homes. Window Wanderland was devised by a rtist Lucy Reeves, who ran her first event in Bristol in 2015. The event in Glasgow was organised by Strathbungo resident Sarah Reid. 24 March 2015 Last updated at 06:43 GMT But food expert Doctor Radha Modgil has been explaining what effect junk food can have by taking Newsround reporter Ricky inside the human body.

Workers at the Ballymena plant were informed by management on Tuesday. North Antrim MP Ian Paisley Jr said it was a "body blow" to the Northern Ireland economy. He said the redundancies would begin in May 2016. He added it "effectively starts a 90-day consultation with workers, not only in Ballymena but across JTI's European footprint, to cease production". "Each year almost £60m is pumped into the local wage economy by JTI - from 2017 that will be over," he said. Gallaher, which made Silk Cut and Benson & Hedges cigarettes, was taken over by Japanese firm JTI in 2007. The factory is a major employer in Ballymena. JTI said it was restructuring its manufacturing facilities "as a result of significant and sustained changes impacting its global business". "The challenging economic environment, excise tax pressure coupled with illegal trade has triggered industry volume contraction in a number of key European countries," it said. The company said these problems had been compounded by European Union cigarette packaging legislation. Anti-smoking legislation is being introduced across the EU in an attempt to cut the number of smokers by 2.4 million. Among the measures in the EU Tobacco Products Directive, picture health warnings will have to dominate the front and back of all packaging, flavoured cigarettes such as menthol will be banned and all packs must have at least 20 cigarettes to leave room for health warnings. Member states have until 2016 to introduce the legislation. In a joint statement, Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said JTI Gallaher was major employer and the announcement was "terrible news for many loyal workers, many of whom have given years of service to this firm over generations". "We will make every effort to mitigate the impact of the job losses and we welcome any opportunity to meet with locally elected representatives to identify what options are available to those affected, the ministers said. "The executive will work closely with both the enterprise and employment and learning ministers to ensure all possible avenues are explored." Northern Ireland Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said the move was "bad news for the Northern Ireland economy as a whole". She said she had written last week to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to raise her concerns about the implications of the legislation for the firm. "I urged him to commission further research to ensure that any health benefits were not offset by an increase in the trade of illegal tobacco, and I am deeply concerned that the magnitude of the implications for the NI economy were not fully considered," she said. Mrs Foster added that the Northern Ireland Executive would "do all that is possible to limit the impact of the redundancies". Davy Thompson of the Unite union said they would enter into a consultation but he believed the closure was "a done deal". "We understand the smuggling issues, we understand the kickback from the EU Directive will have an impact, but does it have to close? We don't believe so. "In terms of the EU Directive, production would drop by maybe 40% but for the other 60% they could have kept the plant open - it's just a cost-saving measure." JTI said it had begun consultations on proposals to close its facilities in Northern Ireland and Belgium, with production possibly moving to Poland and Romania. The firm said its restructuring would be phased in, with factory closures completed between 2016 and 2018. The Gallaher Tobacco Company was founded in 1857 by County Londonderry teenager Thomas Gallaher, who began by setting hand-rolled tobacco from a cart. Demonstrators had held a four-day sit-in at Gezi Park, angry at plans to redevelop that part of Taksim Square. An Istanbul court later ordered the temporary suspension of the project to uproot trees in the park. But there is wider anger against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the unrest has spread to Ankara. Protests have also been reported in other cities, including Bodrum, Konya and Izmir. The US later expressed its concern over the reported number of injuries in Istanbul. "We believe that Turkey's long-term stability, security and prosperity is best guaranteed by upholding the fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly and association, which is what it seems these individuals were doing,'' state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. "These freedoms are crucial to any healthy democracy." Earlier this month, riot police clashed with tens of thousands of people attempting to hold a May Day march in Istanbul. By Alper BalliBBC Turkish People are angry and frustrated at the government's decision to build a shopping centre at the expense of one of Istanbul's most famous parks. But what started as a protest against the uprooting of trees is turning into a wider platform for expressing anger against government policies. Environmentalists have been joined by gay and lesbian groups, as well as socialists, union workers, members of opposition parties from across the political landscape and even so-called "anti-capitalist Muslims". The excessive use of force by the riot police and the insistence of the government to pursue their plans for the park have escalated tensions. Taksim Square has political significance for the anti-government protests. As part of the reconstruction plans, the square was banned as a venue for this year's May Day rally and any kind of demonstrations in the future; but now the government's heavy handed approach risks turning the square into a focal point for protests against its policies. What started out as an environmental protest in Istanbul became anti-government in tone, correspondents say. The controversial redevelopment project is aimed at easing congestion around Taksim Square, but also involves building a shopping centre over Gezi Park. Opponents of Mr Erdogan's plans say the park is one of the few green areas left in central Istanbul. One banner at Friday's protest included a cartoon of Mr Erdogan dressed as an Ottoman sultan with the slogan: "The people will not bow down to you." "We do not have a government, we have Tayyip Erdogan," political scientist and protester Koray Caliskan told the Reuters news agency. "They are not listening to us," he added. "This is the beginning of a summer of discontent." A dozen people have reportedly been admitted to hospital in Istanbul following Friday's clashes. Hurriyet Daily News reported that seven of those wounded had serious injuries, including a broken leg and head injuries. A journalist was hit in the head with a tear-gas canister and Hurriyet's own photographer was injured, it added. There are also reports that foreigners were among those injured. In all, more than 60 people were arrested. In Ankara, protesters staged what they described as a solidarity rally, with many participants chanting: "Everywhere is resistance, everywhere is Taksim!" Mr Erdogan has stressed that he is determined to go ahead with the redevelopment project in Istanbul. Amnesty International condemned the police's tactics against "peaceful protesters". "The Turkish authorities must order police to halt any excessive use of force and urgently investigate all reports of abuse," said John Dalhuisen, director of Amnesty's Europe and Central Asia Programme. "They have a duty to ensure that people can exercise their right to free expression and assembly." Mr Erdogan has been in power since 2002 and some in Turkey have complained that his government is becoming increasingly authoritarian. Last week, Turkey's parliament approved legislation restricting the sale and consumption of alcoholic drinks. The regulations would prohibit retail sales between 22:00 and 06:00, ban all alcohol advertising and promotion, and stop new shops and bars from opening within 100m (330ft) of schools and mosques. Mr Erdogan said he wanted to stop young Turks from "wandering about in a state of inebriation" and was not trying to impose Islamic values. The prime minister's Justice and Development (AK) Party has its roots in political Islam, but he says he is committed to Turkey's state secularism. Staff at the centre are hopeful that the wolves, which arrive on Tuesday, will contribute to the European breeding programme. The wolves will initially be screened from the public to allow them to settle into their enclosure. The female was born at the Highland Wildlife Park in 2013 and the male born in 2012 in the Netherlands. The centre will be closed to the public on Tuesday but reopens the following day. Camperdown zoo keeper Hannah Colgan said: "We're going to keep them screened and let them get used to their new enclosure and have the keepers monitor them and make sure they're settling in. "I think wolves are a signature species for this particular park. "Everyone always asks where the wolves are, they are really popular." Miss Colgan said the wolves will replace two older female wolves who died last year.. She said: "We lost our two girls unfortunately just before Christmas, they were really quite old. "We had to put them down because they had cancer and it was quite a sad time. "We had the enclosure empty so we thought we'd look for some new wolves "We found these ones which are really good for our genetic pairing and breeding programme." Kerry Ann Brown, originally from Jamaica, had her Newtownabbey home damaged twice in less than 12 months. She said she moved out after the attacks, but has since been unable to find housing for her young family. Ms Brown has three sons and is also pregnant. She told BBC Radio Ulster's Evening Extra programme that she has been living in a Salvation Army hostel since January. "From being independent then going into a hostel makes you feel you're sort of isolated," she said. "You're coming from a home, having experienced something traumatic, especially with kids, to nothing." Ms Brown also said she felt her family was being stereotyped because of their ethnicity. "Being an outsider coming into Northern Ireland, people have the wrong impression of ethnic minorities, because the impression that they have is that we come here to take jobs and claim benefits," she said. "People stereotype ethnic minorities feeling that they're scroungers, which they're not." The Peugeot 607 was found with its hazard warning lights flashing and without number plates, police said. One of the canisters, on the front passenger seat, was empty, and there were no detonating devices inside. In November, 130 people died in Paris in a series of terror attacks carried out by so-called Islamic State (IS). An associate of the car's owner, also known to police, was also arrested, French news agency AFP reported. Some French media reports said several people had been arrested. Documents with writing in Arabic were also found in the car, police said. Officers speculated that the hazard lights may have been turned on to attract attention. "We think he may have been trying to carry out a test-run," one police official told AFP. The car was found on the Quai de Montebello, just metres from the cathedral, along a stretch of the Seine riverside. A state of emergency has been in place in France since the attacks in Paris. At least 84 people were killed when a lorry was driven into a crowd in the southern city of Nice in July. The driver, Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, was believed to have been inspired by IS. Notre Dame is among Paris' top tourist destinations, attracting approximately 13 million visitors per year. The president's grip on power was seriously challenged by an attempted coup on 15 July. Yet he was back less than 12 hours later, some say in an even stronger position than before. And he had out-manoeuvred the plotters. To his supporters he has brought Turkey years of economic growth, but to his critics he is an autocratic leader intolerant of dissent who harshly silences anyone who opposes him. And dissenters range from a 16-year-old arrested for insulting the president to a former Miss Turkey who got into trouble for sharing a poem critical of the Turkish president. The failed coup claimed at least 240 lives and, according to his officials, also came close to killing Mr Erdogan, who had been staying at the Aegean holiday resort of Marmaris. Within hours, he appeared on national TV and rallied supporters in Istanbul, declaring he was the "chief commander". But the strain on the president was clear, when he sobbed openly while giving a speech at the funeral of a close friend, shot with his son by soldiers during the attempted coup. Mr Erdogan, 62, came to power in 2002, a year after the formation of the AK Party (AKP). He spent 11 years as Turkey's prime minister before becoming the country's first directly-elected president in August 2014 - a supposedly ceremonial role. He is known to harbour ambitions of creating an executive presidency, to regain some of the powers he relinquished when his tenure as prime minister ended in 2014. While the AKP enjoys a fierce and loyal support among Turkey's conservative, Muslim base, his silencing of critics has caused alarm abroad. Turkish journalists have been investigated and put on trial, foreign journalists have been harassed and deported. And Mr Erdogan's authoritarian approach is not confined to Turkey's borders. His bodyguards harassed reporters in the US, and a German satirist is under investigation in his home country for offending the Turkish president on TV. In June 2015 the AKP suffered a dip in the polls and failed to form a coalition. But the party swept back to power in November with 49% of the vote, in elections overshadowed by the end of a ceasefire with the Kurdish militant PKK. Born in 1954, Recep Tayyip Erdogan grew up the son of a coastguard, on Turkey's Black Sea coast. When he was 13, his father decided to move to Istanbul, hoping to give his five children a better upbringing. As a teenager, the young Erdogan sold lemonade and sesame buns on the streets of Istanbul's rougher districts to earn extra cash. He attended an Islamic school before obtaining a degree in management from Istanbul's Marmara University - and playing professional football. 1970s-1980s - Active in Islamist circles, member of Necmettin Erbakan's Welfare Party 1994-1998 - Mayor of Istanbul, until military officers made power grab 1998 - Welfare Party banned, Erdogan jailed for four months for inciting religious hatred Aug 2001 - Founds Islamist-rooted AKP (Justice and Development Party) with ally Abdullah Gul 2002-2003 - AKP wins solid majority in parliamentary election, Erdogan appointed prime minister Aug 2014 - Becomes president after first-ever direct elections for head of state July 2016 - Survives attempted coup by factions within the military In the decades before the AKP's rise to power, the military intervened in politics four times to curb Islamist influence. And Recep Tayyip Erdogan has for years embraced Islamist-rooted politics. When he became mayor of Istanbul in 1994 he stood as candidate for the pro-Islamist Welfare Party. He went to jail for four months in 1999 for religious incitement after he publicly read a nationalist poem including the lines: "The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers." When he became prime minister in 2002 as head of the AKP, he asserted civilian supremacy over the army. In 2013 he triumphed over the military elite when senior officers were among a large group of people convicted of plotting to overthrow him in what was known as the "Ergenekon" case. Those convictions were later quashed. Critics have accused Mr Erdogan of using the judiciary to silence political opponents, and there have been many allegations of trumped-up charges. But his supporters applauded him for taking on previously untouchable establishment figures, who saw themselves as guardians of the state created by Ataturk. Mr Erdogan also unleashed the power of the state to crush mass protests in Istanbul in June 2013, focused on Gezi Park, a green area earmarked for a huge building project. The protests spread to other cities, swelled by many secularist Turks suspicious of the AKP's Islamist leanings. A major corruption scandal battered his government in December 2013, involving numerous arrests, including the sons of three cabinet ministers. Mr Erdogan raged against "plotters" based outside Turkey, condemning supporters of cleric Fethullah Gulen, a former ally turned rival in self-imposed exile in the US. He also lashed out against social media, vowing to "wipe out" Twitter. Mr Erdogan has denied wanting to impose Islamic values, saying he is committed to secularism. But he supports Turks' right to express their religious beliefs more openly. That message goes down particularly well in rural and small-town Anatolia - the AKP's traditional heartland. Some supporters nicknamed him "Sultan" - harking back to the Ottoman Empire. In October 2013 Turkey lifted rules banning women from wearing headscarves in the country's state institutions - with the exception of the judiciary, military and police - ending a decades-old restriction. Critics also pointed to Mr Erdogan's failed bid to criminalise adultery, and his attempts to introduce "alcohol-free zones", as evidence of his alleged Islamist intentions. Mr Erdogan's political opponents saw a lavish new presidential palace as a symbol of his alleged authoritarian tendencies. Perched on a hill on the outskirts of Ankara, the 1,000-room Ak Saray (White Palace) is bigger than the White House or the Kremlin and ended up costing even more than the original £385m ($615m) price tag. Mr Erdogan owes much of his political success in the past decade to economic stability, with an average annual growth rate of 4.5%. Turkey has developed into a manufacturing and export powerhouse. The AKP government kept inflation under control - no mean feat, as there were years in the 1990s when it soared above 100%. But in 2014 the economy began flagging - growth fell to 2.9% and unemployment rose above 10%. On the international stage he has bitterly condemned Israel - previously a strong ally of Turkey - over its treatment of the Palestinians. Although there is now a rapprochement, the policy not only galvanised his Islamic base, but also made him a hugely popular leader across the Middle East. He has backed Syria's opposition in its fight against Bashar al-Assad's government in Damascus. But his tentative peace overtures to the Kurds in south-eastern Turkey soured when he refused to help Syrian Kurds battling Islamic State militants just across the border. The 28-year-old left Southend at the end of the season following 164 appearances across six years, having finished the campaign on loan at League Two champions Northampton Town. He also won promotion out of League Two in 2014-15 with the Shrimpers. Prosser is the second U's signing of the summer, after the acquisition of Maldon & Tiptree left-back Ben Wyatt. The pair join a club that had the worst defence in the Football League, conceding 99 goals as they were relegated out of League One. But Prosser told BBC Essex: "Colchester is a club in transition, I think. A few people have said that it might be the best thing that's happened to the club, to come down, rebuild and go again. "Southend did it when I first went there. Colchester is a massive club, when you look at the facilities and stadium it's a League One, if not Championship club."

They said that maintaining the Common Travel Area (CTA) will make it impractical to assess people's right to work as they enter the UK. Therefore, those restrictions "can only be policed at the workplace". The CTA is important because it allows free movement of people across the Irish border and between Great Britain and the island of Ireland. After Brexit, EU citizens will continue to have freedom of movement to Ireland and the CTA will mean they can easily enter the UK. The British and Irish governments have pledged to continue the CTA between Northern Ireland and the Republic as a post-Brexit priority. Professors McLean and Gallagher said there is "no reasonable likelihood of the Republic agreeing that its immigration authorities might check visitors' right to work in the UK". They said there will instead have to be "point control" - meaning people's right to work, study or access healthcare will have to be policed by employers, colleges and clinics. They warned this will impose a regulatory cost on employers, which will be "unavoidable" if the UK decides not to maintain free movement of labour to and from the EU. They added that it could also could lead to "large numbers of illegal migrants, living insecurely". However, they said it could also give the devolved administrations the power to control some aspects of migration policy. "There is no reason why the devolved administrations need take the same approach to issuing work permits as the government of the UK in its capacity as the government of England," they added. Prof Gallagher is a former senior civil servant who specialised in devolution policy; Prof McLean is director of the Gwilym Gibbon Centre for Public Policy at Oxford University. Richard Walsh, 43, was awaiting trial accused of attempting to murder two schoolboys in Hampshire when he was found hanged in his cell. An inquest jury found he should have been detained in hospital rather than held in Belmarsh Prison. Southern Health NHS Trust said it would ensure better "sharing of information". On 27 September a verdict of suicide, contributed to by neglect, was recorded at the inquest into Mr Walsh's death. Mr Walsh was held at Waterlooville police station following the stabbing of two boys, aged 12 and 13, in Southleigh Road in Havant on 26 June last year. Southwark Coroner's Court heard he was "saying strange things", became "delusional", was "obsessed with a woman police officer", and hid under a blanket when questioned. He was assessed by two independent psychiatrists and a mental health professional approved by Hampshire County Council, but was not sectioned. The inquest jury said there had been "gross failures of medical care" as they failed to interrogate the custody record and the custody officer and did not speak to Mr Walsh's family or GP. "Had they done, then Mr Walsh would have been detained in a hospital. "It is more likely than not... that if Mr Walsh had been detained in a hospital... he would not have killed himself," the jury found. Mr Walsh was found hanged on 19 July 2015, the day before he was due to appear at Portsmouth Crown Court. Following the ruling, Southern Health's medical director Dr Lesley Stevens said: "We fully accept the jury's findings and are acting quickly to improve assessments and communication between health organisations and the criminal justice system." The trust said it would delay assessments of detainees if custody logs were not available and would implement "clear and robust processes" for sharing information between clinical teams in the custody and prison services. A Prison Service spokesman said it had already taken action following a Prisons and Probation Ombudsman investigation. "We will now carefully consider the inquest findings to help ensure such incidents are not repeated," he said. Hampshire County Council said it would "carefully consider the full findings". David Penman, 42, was convicted of preying on his victims while at the Royal Blind School during the 1980s. The High Court in Edinburgh heard how Penman committed rape and sexual abuse on girls and boys. Judge Lord Uist told him that it was clear he had a "propensity for sexual violence". One of his victims, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told jurors how Penman targeted her. The woman, who is now in her 40s, told the court he repeatedly attacked her during her time there. The court heard how one day she walked past Penman and heard him tell a friend how she was an "easy target" for rape. It took jurors one day of deliberations to return verdicts of guilt on 11 charges of rape, attempted rape and sexual assault. Prosecution lawyer Ian Wallace then revealed Penman, from Inverness, was jailed in February 2000 for 10 years on charges of rape and attempted rape. On that occasion, Judge Lord Kingarth also ordered him to be supervised by the authorities for eight years following his release from custody. In 2009, Penman was convicted of breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order. He also received two years probation in 1993 after being convicted of indecent assault. Days earlier Penman, a prisoner of HMP Edinburgh, gave evidence in which he told jurors that this was the first time he had appeared in court. Lord Uist called for a report into whether the repeat sex offender meets the criteria for the imposition of an Order for Lifelong Restriction. Penman, who is registered blind, had pleaded not guilty. Defence solicitor advocate Ann Ogg told the court that she would reserve her position until the next time Penman appears in court. Judge Lord Uist thanked jurors for their "very obvious care and attention" that they displayed during the time the case was in court. Penman is due to appear for sentencing at the High Court in Edinburgh on 30 August. Chelsea striker Diego Costa was at the centre of several flashpoints, including a confrontation with West Brom midfielder Claudio Yacob after being tripped during the game. The Blues have been fined £65,000 and West Brom £35,000. West Brom twice came from behind to earn a point at Stamford Bridge. An FA statement said the fines had been given out because both Premier League clubs failed to "ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion". Yacob, who had already been booked when he brought down Costa, was swiftly substituted by his manager Tony Pulis. A few days after the incident on 13 January, Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink said Yacob should have been dismissed and was so frustrated with the performance of referee Anthony Taylor that he expressed his concerns to fourth official Jon Moss. "I told him: 'This is one of the worst referees of the Premier League I have experienced'," said Hiddink. "He said to me 'you haven't seen me yet', which was a beautiful remark I think."

"If I play well this week, I have a chance going to Abu Dhabi to regain the number one spot," said McIlroy, 27. McIlroy is playing in Johannesburg as a return favour to event host Ernie Els who teed up in the 2014 Irish Open. Els extracted the commitment from the world number two when he played at Royal County Down three years ago in the tournament hosted by McIlroy's foundation. Media playback is not supported on this device After Nike's decision to pull out of the clubs and balls market, McIlroy will be using a mixed bag of clubs this week and he has also switched to a Titleist ball. "I've decided what to start the year with which is a bit of Callaway stuff and a bit of Titleist stuff although I'm still trying some Taylormade woods out. "But I think the clubs thing could be an ever-changing process in 2017. "I'm really happy with the new golf ball. It's basically a matter of fitting everything around the golf ball." After disappointing major performances in 2016 which included missed cuts at the US Open and US PGA Championship, McIlroy will aim for a more relaxed approach in the game's four biggest events this season. "I need to start majors better and maybe that will start by putting a little less pressure on myself and going out and free-wheeling a bit more," he said. "In the last year or so in the opening rounds of majors, I was a little bit tight and tentative instead of going out and playing my game," added McIlroy, whose 2017 will include marrying his fiancee Erica Stoll. In April, McIlroy will have a third attempt at completing the career Grand Slam at the Masters but he is attempting not to be preoccupied by his Augusta challenge. "The more years without me winning it, I realise that it's going to become tougher but there is so much more to be achieved, whether it's in [all] the majors or following up a FedEx Cup success with another one or trying to win the Race to Dubai again," he explained. McIlroy's Christmas break included falling sick for a number of days and he used that time in bed to look back at his previous majors - including his final-day collapse at the 2011 Masters. "If 2011 hadn't happened, would I be standing here having won a US Open, two PGAs and an Open Championship? You never know," he said. After competing in Abu Dhabi, McIlroy will complete his Middle East swing in the Dubai Desert Classic in early February where his rivals will include Tiger Woods. McIlroy believes Woods, 41, is entitled to take encouragement from his 15th place at his own World Challenge tournament last month in the Bahamas as he returned to action after more than a year out because of injury. "He made more birdies than anyone else that week. He made a few mistakes as well but the signs are there and he's healthy again," added McIlroy. "He's playing a lot of golf at the start of the season so hopefully the body holds up." Gavin Rawson, 35, was trying to save Nathan Walker, 19, after he fell in the tanker in Leicestershire while attempting to clear a blockage. Inquests into both deaths, three days before Christmas at Green Feeds Limited, Church Farm, Normanton, were opened and adjourned on Tuesday. Coroner Carolyn Hull adjourned the inquests until 3 March. Live updates and more from Leicestershire Det Sgt Anna Burton, of Leicestershire Police, told Rutland and North Leicestershire Coroner's Court, that Mr Walker was asked to clean out the tanker. After Mr Walker fell in, Mr Rawson came to his aid but he too fell in. Both bodies were recovered after a hole was cut in the side of the vehicle. Det Sgt Burton said they were still awaiting full results from the post-mortem examinations on both men. The Health and Safety Executive previously said the accident involved slurry. Matthew Kennerley, director of Associated British Ports (ABP) in south Wales is "concerned" about the route. The Welsh government plans to address M4 traffic problems with a new 14 mile road from Magor to Castleton, including a bridge over the docks. Mr Kennerley believes if the bridge is not high enough it will cost Wales' busiest commercial port "huge sums". Currently the port handles 1.85 million tonnes of goods a year, said to be worth £186m annually to the Welsh economy. But Mr Kennerley thinks a bridge could potentially prevent about 60% of ships from entering the north docks, making a kilometre of quayside redundant. He also believes a bridge would stop larger cranes from moving around the docks, with companies then tempted to use Bristol docks instead. First Minister Carwyn Jones addressed concerns in the assembly recently and said officials have met ABP officials a number of times. He said the height of the bridge will be examined to allow the docks to carry on working as normal. "The M4 project will vastly improve motorway capacity and resilience across the south of Wales, benefitting not only the port of Newport but also the ABP operations in Swansea, Port Talbot, Barry and Cardiff," Mr Jones added. The road could be built by 2022 and the latest projections indicate it will cost less than the £1bn initial estimates. It will cross five sites of special scientific interest and Friends of the Earth Cymru failed in a legal challenge to force Welsh ministers to reconsider the route. Wilkinson, whose playing career finished in 2014, has yet to agree to Jones' invitation. It was Wilkinson's late drop-goal that helped England beat Jones' Australia in the final of the 2003 World Cup. "We would like to get Jonny involved, but he's quite a private person. We are having chats about it," Jones said. "I saw him down at Waitrose shopping with a beanie over his head. I had coffee with him," added Jones, who has appointed Steve Borthwick, a former England team-mate of Wilkinson's, and Paul Gustard as forwards and defence coach respectively. Wilkinson won 91 England caps, is his country's leading points scorer and is one of just five men to score 1,000 points in international rugby union, with his total of 1,246 second only to New Zealand great Dan Carter. "After we had coffee he went and did a kicking session, and he doesn't play any more," said Jones, who succeeded Stuart Lancaster following England's early exit from the 2015 World Cup. The 55-year-old Australian also revealed that he picked up ideas from Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola when the pair met last November. "Pep is a big rugby fan. He studied rugby and European handball to look at how you move the ball into space," said Jones. "We talked about his philosophy and about how you move the football into space, because in rugby, once you get away from the set-piece, it's like football."

Mrs Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2016 presidential election, has been under fire for using a private computer server for work emails while in office. But she says no classified information was sent or received. However, 125 emails were deemed confidential by the state department. The state department disclosed that Mrs Clinton used a private server during her time as secretary of state (2009-13) after journalists requested copies of her government emails. Mrs Clinton's opponents have accused her of putting US security at risk by using an unsecured computer system. The presidential hopeful has admitted that her decision to use a private email server at her New York home was a mistake. The state department released 4,368 emails - totalling 7,121 pages - late on Monday. On Monday, the state department said about 150 of the messages had to be censored because they contained information considered to be classified. On Tuesday, it revised the figure to 125 messages. One of the emails - sent in November 2013 by Mrs Clinton's then foreign policy adviser Jacob Sullivan - was published heavily redacted and marked classified until 2025. Mr Sullivan, who is now a policy adviser for Mrs Clinton's presidential campaign, forwarded her boss the email with the subject line: "No go on Burma (Myanmar) travel." In another email - from September 2010 - Britain's David Miliband admitted that losing the Labour leadership race to Ed Miliband was "tough", adding: "When it's your brother..." State department spokesman Mark Toner was quoted by AFP as saying the process of re-evaluating the remaining unreleased emails was continuing. The emails were not marked as classified at the time Mrs Clinton sent or received them. The vast majority of the correspondence concerned mundane matters of daily life at workplace, including phone messages and relays of daily schedules. One particular email eliciting laughs among the US political reporter set is an email about Gefilte fish, a traditional Jewish food eaten on the holiday Passover. The Washington Post explains that the Gefilte fish email was about a shipment of the product to Israel from the US Mrs Clinton was trying to save from a high tax. Many of the emails show the influence of Sidney Blumenthal, an outside Clinton adviser. In one email, Mr Blumenthal describes former UK Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg as having "misplayed almost every turn" and being full of "inbred arrogance." Associated Press says the emails revealed that Mrs Clinton and her aides were acutely aware of the need to protect sensitive information. It says Mrs Clinton also expressed frustration with the state department's treatment of certain ordinary documents as classified. In one email, a state department IT staffer is trying to determine why Mrs Clinton's non-governmental email is bouncing back. More than a quarter of Mrs Clinton's work emails have now been released, after she provided the state department with 30,000 pages of documents last year. Polls indicate that the email scandal has affected Mrs Clinton's ratings, though she remains the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. At this point the novelty of peering into Hillary Clinton's email correspondence is starting to wear off for the general public. Although the former secretary of state's attempts to explain why she used of a private email server have damaged her political standing, the steady release of her electronic missives has faded into the background noise of the presidential campaign. There may yet be some scandalous message lurking in the trove of yet-to-be-released messages, but given the fact that the files were screened by Mrs Clinton or her staff, that seems unlikely. Mrs Clinton says the primary reason she set up her own email was for "convenience" but sceptics say the real reason she did it was because it gave her total control over her correspondence. According to Mrs Clinton, she sent or received 62,320 emails during her time as secretary of state - she says half of them were official and have been turned over to the state department. Probably not. Mrs Clinton's email system existed in a grey area of the law - and one that has been changed several times since she left office. It's a big deal because Mrs Clinton is asking the US public to trust that she is complying with both the "letter and the spirit of the rules". Critics on the left and the right are concerned she made her communications on sensitive national security issues more susceptible to hackers and foreign intelligence services. Captain Williams returns to top-flight action with the Swans at Watford on Saturday, having led Wales to the brink of Euro 2016 qualification. Monk was pleased there were no bids for Williams during the transfer window. "Ashley has to be up there in the top three or four centre-backs in the [Premier] League," Monk said. Williams and his Argentine centre-back partner Federico Fernandez have again proved to be the bedrock in defence during Swansea's unbeaten start to the new Premier League season. Monk, who played alongside Williams as a Swans player, said: "I think he and Fede are actually one of the best partnerships in the League, the way they have performed together this season and last. "But Ash himself... contributes [in] every game, the way he heads the group and with his experience." Monk said Williams' consistency over a long period has been an important factor, praising the former Stockport player for ignoring speculation linking him with other clubs. "It's been rumoured for the last six or seven years [the Williams would join a rival club]," Monk added. "But I don't think the club has actually received an offer and I am thankful for that. We are fortunate as a club to have Ashley here. "He is fortunate he has come to a club where he has been helped and pushed in the right direction by various managers and to be able to play the sort of football we have played. "I think it suits him being here, he is very comfortable and he is very passionate about the club and that is what you want if you are playing for any club. "He enjoys his football, so I don't think it [transfer speculation] has ever been a distraction." The Swans will welcome back Ecuadorian winger Jefferson Montero from injury for Saturday's trip to Watford. Modou Barrow will also be in the squad after being recalled from a loan spell at Blackburn to replace Nathan Dyer, who joined Leicester on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day. Meanwhile, Monk has played down talk of Champions League football after England midfielder Jonjo Shelvey said he was confident the club could qualify for the competition this season. "'It's good for players to have confidence. There is confidence and overconfidence, but right right now I think we have a good balance," Monk said. "The players are playing with some freedom, confidence and a good way of working. It's about continuing that. "But it's so early in the season to be talking about anything in terms of positions in the league. "You need to get to that 10 or 15-game marker and it starts to even out, or you start to gauge where you could really push for where you are going to be fighting for. 'It was similar to that last season, so our focus is purely on the next game - trying to get three points from that game, doing our best in that game and see where it takes us." PRS Media, trading as Purus Digital and based in Dale, was fined £140,000 by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The information it used to send texts was taken from its own competition website where people had to agree to marketing as a condition of entering. The action was prompted by complaints from members of the public. The ICO said the condition on its website did not amount to consent as the law states people must have a genuine choice over whether or not to consent to marketing. Ken Macdonald, head of ICO regions, said: "Nuisance marketing, whether it's by calls to people's landline or mobile, or through spam texts, causes disruption, annoyance and, in the worst cases, serious upset. "We issue fines like these to firms behind nuisance marketing to send a clear message that such action will not be tolerated." The company could not be contacted for a comment. The crash, 120km (75miles) north-west of Philadelphia, left trucks and cars strewn across three lanes of traffic and the central reservation. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency said 40 people had been taken to hospital and 70 to a temporary shelter. Drivers have been urged to use caution during the icy weather. A spokeswoman for Penn State Hershey Medical Center said three patients had been brought in in a critical condition, three more with moderate to severe injuries and four with minor injuries. Agency spokesman Cory Angell said drifting snow had been reported in the area of the crash, which took place in strong winds on the eastern carriageway of Interstate 78 near Bethel Township. "You could be driving down the interstate and all of a sudden conditions change because the winds are drifting the snow," he said. Witnesses described a scene of devastation with reports that some people remain trapped in vehicles. "The snow just started and it was a total whiteout. The car in front of us just disappeared," driver Ashley Fisher told NBC News. "We were able to stop, but a couple cars slid and hit the shoulder. It was a mess." Officials have warned people in the north-eastern US to stay indoors during what the National Weather Service described as "life-threatening temperatures". The group used a drill adapted from a car wash to cut into the Khumbu glacier in the foothills of Everest. Working at an altitude of roughly 5,000m (16400ft), they spent three days drilling 150m (492ft) into the glacier. Its internal structure was then recorded using a 360-degree camera. The 10.5 mile (17km) long glacier flows from as high as 7,600m (25,000ft) down to 4,900m (16,000ft) and is often used by climbers on their way to Everest base-camp. The six-week expedition was a part of the Everdrill project, which is collecting data to understand how the glacier moves and changes over time, and how it might respond to anticipated climate change. Prof Bryn Hubbard from Aberystwyth University, who led the drilling, said dams and lakes that form on the glacier presented a "real risk" of flash flooding that could "endanger the lives of thousands of people". He said: "Understanding what actually happens inside these glaciers is critical to developing computer models of their response to anticipated climate change. "Equally important is developing a better understanding of how they flow so that we can better predict when dams that form on these glaciers are likely to be breached, releasing life-threatening volumes of water to the valleys below." The opposition-controlled assembly passed the bill after a heated discussion late on Tuesday. President Nicolas Maduro said he would block the bill, which he argued would benefit "criminals and terrorists". The opposition won the parliamentary elections in December on a promise to work towards the release of dozens of what it considers political prisoners. Among the more than 70 detainees who could be freed if the bill becomes law is Leopoldo Lopez, a prominent opposition leader who was sentenced to 13 years and nine months in prison last year for inciting violence during mass protests. Leopoldo Lopez: Venezuela's maverick opposition leader Venezuela opposition pushed for Maduro's exit What changes will the new Congress bring? The prosecutor in the case later fled Venezuela and told media abroad that Mr Lopez's conviction had been a political show trial. But government officials maintain Mr Lopez is responsible for the violence which erupted during the 2014 protests in which 43 people on both sides of the political divide were killed. Mr Lopez's wife, Lilian Tintori, welcomed the passing of the bill, saying it was "felt in all of Venezuela, like a fireworks rocket going off in Caracas, full of emotion, freedom and strength". "Today, with this amnesty law, we're taking a major step towards the rescue of democracy and liberty," she said. "We're going to free not just the political prisoners but the whole of Venezuela," she added. Other political leaders who could be freed are the former mayor of Caracas, Antonio Ledezma, who is under house arrest, and the former mayor of San Cristobal, Daniel Ceballos. But members of the governing PSUV party said the amnesty was a carte blanche for "murderers". President Maduro spoke on national television while the debate was still under way to say he would veto it. "You can be certain that that law will not be making it through here," he said. Under the Venezuelan constitution, the president can send a bill back to the National Assembly, but the latter can override the veto with an absolute majority (half of those present at the time of the vote plus one). President Maduro could also send the bill to the Supreme Court if he has doubts about its constitutionality. Critics of the government say the top court is stacked with supporters of the president and could therefore pose a serious threat to the bill becoming law. Socialist lawmakers backed President Maduro in his rejection of the bill. "There's going to be justice here and everyone who is in jail for corruption, for murder or for violating the constitution or the law will stay locked up," Dario Vivas said. Venezuela is deeply divided into those who support the socialist government of Nicolas Maduro and those who oppose it. Last month, the opposition announced it would try to drive President Maduro from power by means of a recall referendum or a constitutional amendment to shorten his term. The government denounced the plans as an attempted coup. An estimated 21,000 runners are expected to take part in the race on Sunday 4 October. Geoff Williams, BBC Wales Head of Sport, said: "BBC Wales is delighted to be televising the Cardiff Half Marathon for the first time. It promises to be an unmissable day." BBC Radio Wales will also provide live commentary of the elite race. Presenter Jason Mohammad's radio programme has already started following a handful of entrants as they prepare for the race. He will present the TV coverage with Lowri Morgan and Dot Davies reporting from around the course on BBC Two Wales between 08:30-11:15 BST, with highlights from 18:00 BST. BBC Radio Cymru will also be broadcasting live from the race. Two shots were fired as the suspects attacked the building on High Street, Boston Spa, on the outskirts of Leeds. Although no one was shot, one post office worker suffered minor injuries as he tried to stop the pair, who escaped with an amount of cash. One vehicle used in the robbery, a Nissan Juke, was found on fire at Beeches End in the commuter village. Det Insp Phil Jackson said: "We are in the early stages of our investigation into this armed robbery, which is being treated as an isolated incident. "From our inquiries it would appear that a firearm has been discharged twice, once inside the premises and once outside. No one was injured as a result of these discharges. "It was initially reported that two female suspects entered the post office but it has now been established that the suspects were dressed as women and wearing wigs. "We believe that two vehicles were used in this incident and in addition to the two suspects who entered the post office there may have also been a driver involved. "One of the vehicles, a Nissan Juke, has been located burnt out in Beeches End. The other vehicle involved is believed to be a white Mercedes." The girl was reportedly dragged into a car by two men as she walked down a street in Longsight on Wednesday, then raped and sexually assaulted. Officers now say she was not abducted or raped, but she has been a victim of sexual offences. Police said specially-trained officers are supporting her. Det Ch Insp Andy Cunliffe from Greater Manchester Police said: "We do not believe that there is a threat to the wider public and would like to reassure the community that we are carrying out a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident." Items made at Nantgarw Chinaworks, near Caerphilly, once decorated the dinner tables of royalty and aristocracy. But it was very difficult to fire, leading to losses of up to 90% and the ultimate closure of the works in 1821 after just four years. Now, it hopes to uncover the original recipe and start making it again. Artist and potter William Billingsley's recipe was revered as the whitest, finest and most translucent porcelain ever made. Plates, cups, bowls and decorative items were fired in bottle kilns before being sold to London's finest porcelain decorators, ending up on the dining tables of the rich and famous across the world. But it tended to warp and crack in the kiln and there are few remaining examples of it - most of which are held in collections at National Museum of Wales and London's V&A. After porcelain production ceased, the factory switched to making stoneware bottles and earthenware until it closed in 1920, before later reopening as a museum. For 200 years the exact formula and production methods have remained a mystery. But recent analysis and research, including coded documents found in museum archives, look to provide the opportunity to recreate the porcelain for the first time. Using traditional and modern materials, practices and kilns, the Nantgarw Chinaworks team wants to create a small production facility to make items at the same premises used by Billingsley in 1813. The team, including Nantgarw's resident artists, university specialists, clay manufacturers, industrial chemists, mould makers and porcelain and bone china experts, will work together to improve the original porcelain body and glaze. But to get the project started, the works needs to raise £15,000 through the Art Happens crowdfunding campaign, hosted by charity Art Fund. The money will pay for new kilns, materials and equipment and donors will get a chance to own one of the first pieces made. Charles Fountain, project manager at Nantgarw Chinaworks, said: "This is not just an academic exercise. We are keen to start making new work at the china works and encouraging other contemporary artists to start working with this exceptional porcelain. "If the project is successful then in 2018/19 we plan to commission contemporary artists to make new bodies of work which will then be sent out for decoration in the same way as was done in the early 19th Century. "The possibilities are limitless and extremely exciting." The Oxfordshire box, dating from 1901, was reduced to rubble overnight as campaigners watched from a bridge. One protester said former signalmen would be "turning in their graves", while another described the flattened Banbury North box as a "crime scene". Network Rail said it was replacing more than 800 remaining signal boxes with 12 Regional Operating Centres (ROCs). It said the change would deliver savings of up to £250m a year while allowing "greater control" over the network. The company delayed the demolition of the box to allow railway fans to take farewell tours in 2016. More than 3,500 visitors came to look at its bells, levers and coal-fired stove, between 10 August and 2 October. Banbury Civic Society supported plans to convert the box into an education centre but the project failed to raise sufficient funds. Rob Kinchin-Smith, its acting chair, said the company had demanded that the campaign raise £168,000 in three weeks to save it. He took to social media to rue the demolition, commenting: "The party's over and the star guest departs... Banbury North, it was great knowing you." Mr Kinchin-Smith said the interior of the box had been saved with a view to reconstructing it for future public display. Rails bosses said the stretch of track was now controlled from Rugby ROC, whose wider view of the network and modern traffic management software could help to reduce rail delays. Sources in Whitehall told the BBC that expansion at Heathrow is the clear front runner. However, the prime minister has made it clear she wants to hear the wide-ranging opinions of colleagues. The BBC has been told the Cabinet will discuss the issue tomorrow but no final decision is expected. It will then be left to the Economic Affairs (Transport) sub-committee, chaired by Mrs May, to make the final choice on whether to back Heathrow or Gatwick. One option being looked at is for that committee to meet next Tuesday, 25 October, with an announcement on the same day. Government officials believe that a third runway at Heathrow or an expansion of the existing runways are now the leading options, although it has been made very clear to me that no final decision has been taken. In the Cabinet there are splits. Boris Johnson, the foreign secretary, has been a long-time opponent of Heathrow, describing it as a "fantasy". Justine Greening, the education secretary, is also opposed. Heavyweights who have previously been pro-Heathrow include Liam Fox, the international trade secretary, and Sajid Javid, the communities secretary. Philip Hammond, the chancellor, has been careful not to express a view, but senior Treasury officials have made it clear they believe Heathrow is the better option for boosting economic growth. That is because it is closer to many more population centres in the UK compared to Gatwick, including Bristol and the South West, the Midlands and the north of England. One other Cabinet minister told me: "I would do both Heathrow and Gatwick - that would tell the world Britain is open for business." That option is not officially on the table, although if the government does back Heathrow, it could make positive noises about Gatwick expansion in the future. It has been pointed out to me by Whitehall sources that expansion at Heathrow more easily fits with the government's overall transport strategy. High Speed 2, the fast rail link planned to run between London and Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester, will run close to Heathrow. The Scottish government also backs Heathrow, as does the business lobby group the CBI. Labour is also expected to officially support Heathrow expansion, despite opposition from the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell. Heathrow's greatest challenge is on the environment and noise, and many within the government believe a myriad of legal challenges are inevitable from local groups and environmental organisations if a third runway is given the go-ahead. The Daily Telegraph reported on Monday that the prime minister has been warned by some ministers that there will be "chaos" if she backs Heathrow because of the legal challenges, which could last "for decades". Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat, and Republican Lindsey Graham sent the letter to the FBI on Wednesday. They requested "any warrant applications and court orders... related to wiretaps of President Trump, the Trump campaign, or Trump Tower". Mr Trump tweeted the unsubstantiated claim over the weekend. "Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory," he posted in a series of tweets on Saturday morning. Mr Trump was reportedly in high spirits after making the broadside on Twitter, advisers told the New York Times. But according to the newspaper, after a round of golf, Mr Trump seemed to think he had gone too far, though still maintained his phones had been tapped. Despite repeated requests, the White House has not supplied any evidence for the claim. It has called on Congress to look into the allegation as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US election. Mr Graham and Mr Whitehouse, two senior members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also addressed Wednesday's letter to the Department of Justice. "Congress must get to the bottom of President Trump's recent allegation that President Obama wiretapped President Trump's phones during the 2016 election," they wrote. Mr Graham met Mr Trump for lunch on Wednesday, telling CNN it "really was great" and the president is in a "problem-solving, deal-making mode". But he did not mention whether he discussed the wire-tapping claims with Mr Trump. Meanwhile, details are emerging about how Mr Obama reacted to the explosive accusations. The former president reportedly "rolled his eyes" after learning of Mr Trump's allegations, a source close to him told NBC News. Mr Obama reportedly thinks his successor's unfounded claims "undermine the integrity of the office", according to the source. But he is "much more concerned" about his successor's actions on health insurance, understaffing the government, rolling back regulations and allowing mentally unstable people to buy guns with no scrutiny, the source added. "He cares about all those things much more than what President Trump tweets at the TV each morning," the source added. That reaction contradicted an earlier report from the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, alleging that Mr Obama was "livid" with anger about the wire-tapping accusations. Mr Trump reportedly called Mr Obama to thank him for the letter he left in the Oval Office, but his call was never returned, according to the newspaper. FBI Director James Comey has reportedly rejected the allegation while James Clapper, the director of national intelligence at the time of the election, flatly denied the claim. When pressed about the allegations, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters on Tuesday the president has "absolutely" no regrets about making the claims. The 28-year-old will miss next week's Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village in Ohio. The Northern Irishman was treated for a stress fracture to his ribs earlier in the year and pulled out of this week's PGA Championship at Wentworth. "All focus is on getting back to full health for the US Open," McIlroy's agent Sean O'Flaherty said. McIlroy originally suffered the rib problem in the close season - a time when he was hitting a lot of balls in practice while trying to decide on new equipment after Nike decided to stop producing clubs. The injury flared up as he lost a play-off to Graeme Storm at the South African Open in January, and the four-time major winner did not play again until the WGC-Mexico Championship in March. McIlroy then felt discomfort at the Players Championship at Sawgrass earlier this month and was "advised to take a conservative approach" to his recovery. The US Open takes place at Erin Hills in Wisconsin from 15-18 June. Bath and North East Somerset Council had shortlisted two sites close to the A4, but a "huge public outcry" followed that decision. It said it would now look at a raft of "joined up transport improvements". Council leader Tim Warren said the eastern park-and-ride had been "challenging" but said ultimately it must put the safety of road user first. He said some of the other transport measures the authority would look at included: Two preferred sites for a park-and-ride to the east of Bath were chosen from a shortlist of eight. A greenbelt site on the west side of Mill Lane at Bathampton Meadows was eventually chosen over neighbouring council-owned land because the 800-car site would be less visible and have potential for a future rail link. Mr Warren added improving transport and tackling Bath's traffic problems "remain one of our highest priorities". "In light of the issues with site access, and taking into consideration all the various factors with these two sites, it is therefore recommended that the council should not proceed with either of these sites and we should instead commit all our efforts to pursuing the other traffic and transport measures we have set out." The proposed eastern park-and-ride would have joined the city's other three at Newbridge, Lansdown and Odd Down. It said the cortege will leave a morgue on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning to go to the Union Buildings where his body will lie in state. Mourners are being encouraged to line the route. His family has expressed gratitude for the support it had received. Family spokesman Lt Gen Themba Templeton Matanzima said the past two days had not been easy, after losing a "great man, a pillar of the family". "But with the support we are receiving from here and beyond, and in due time, all will be well for the family," said spokesman Lt Gen Themba Templeton Matanzima. Vigils for the former leader have been continuing across South Africa. Hundreds of mourners have gathered outside Mr Mandela's home in Johannesburg's northern suburb of Houghton where he died, and thousands of flowers and candles have been laid outside. 1918 Born in the Eastern Cape 1943 Joins ANC 1956 Charged with high treason, but charges dropped after a four-year trial 1962 Jailed for five years for incitement and leaving country without a passport 1964 Charged with sabotage, sentenced to life 1990 Freed from prison 1993 Wins Nobel Peace Prize 1994-99 Serves as president 2004 Retires from public life 2010 Last major public appearance at football World Cup in Johannesburg In pictures: Mandela vigils Remembering the man South African papers pay tribute Mr Mandela died on Thursday evening aged 95. On Saturday the government published further details of the 10-day state funeral, saying as many people as possible would be given the opportunity to pay their last respects. On Tuesday, an official memorial service will be held at the FNB Stadium on the outskirts of Johannesburg. When the three days of lying in state are over, Mr Mandela's body will then be flown from an air force base in Pretoria to Qunu in the Eastern Cape for burial. Qunu is where Mr Mandela grew up and later retired to. Flags at all official buildings will fly at half mast throughout the period and books of condolence are being circulated across the country and online for people to post tributes, record memories and express their emotions. Sunday has been designated an official day of prayer and reflection and President Jacob Zuma urged South Africans to to go to stadiums, halls, churches, temples or synagogues. "We should, while mourning, also sing at the top of our voices, dance and do whatever we want to do, to celebrate the life of this outstanding revolutionary who kept the spirit of freedom alive and led us to a new society. Let us sing for Madiba," he said, using Mr Mandela's clan name. A government statement recalled the former president's own thoughts when asked how he wished to be remembered. "It would be very egotistical of me to say how I would like to be remembered," Mr Mandela said. "I'd leave that entirely to South Africans. I would just like a simple stone on which is written, 'Mandela'." Ahmed Kathrada, Mr Mandela's friend of 67 years and his companion in prison on Robben Island, told the BBC of his "overwhelming emotion" at seeing his old friend in hospital earlier this year. "For 67 years I knew him as a strong man. I was shocked [to see] this strong man, a shadow of himself. That was overwhelming... so much so that I told [his wife] Mrs Machel that I don't want to see him again. I thanked her very much but I said, please, I can't bear it." Mr Kathrada said Graca Machel had sent him a message earlier on Thursday that the former leader would die that evening. "They were told by the doctor that he was on his very last," he said.

US President Barack Obama said Mr Mandela "achieved more than could be expected of any man". Pope Francis said Mr Mandela had forged "a new South Africa built on the firm foundations of non-violence, reconciliation and truth". The former South African leader spent 27 years in jail before becoming the country's first black president in 1994. He served a single term before stepping down in 1999. Mr Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 along with FW de Klerk, South Africa's last white president. He suffered repeated bouts of ill health and since September had been receiving treatment at home for a recurring lung illness. The lift, the fastest in the world, would take 43 seconds to go from the first to 95th floor in the Guangzhou CTF Financial Centre, the company said. The skyscraper is scheduled to be completed in 2016. Currently, the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan holds the record for fastest lift - it can travel up to 60.6km/h. Hitachi promised a "comfortable ride" even at high speeds in the new lift. The lifts would prevent ear blockages, Hitachi said, by artificially altering air pressure in the car. Dr Gina Barney, an expert in lift technology, said protecting passengers from discomfort was a big challenge for high-speed lifts. "When you're travelling that distance, you're going to get pressures on your ears changing," she told the BBC. "That's probably the most significant problem with high-speed travel in buildings - people suffer some pain." Hitachi said guiding "rollers" that adapted to warping caused by wind pressure would mean the ride remained smooth. And brakes able to resist extreme heat would activate in the "unlikely" event of a malfunction. The building will have in total 95 lifts, two of which will be operate at the ultra-high speed. Twenty-eight "double-decker" lifts will also be installed into the building. The Guangzhou CTF Financial Centre will house office, hotel and residential space. If the Hitachi lift performs as well as the company has said, it will comfortably top the global chart for fastest lift. Today's record is held in Taiwan, where passengers in the Taipei 101 building are flung from the fifth to the 89th floor in 37 seconds, a speed of 1,010m (3,313ft) per minute. The Yokohama Landmark Tower in Japan moves its passengers at 750m per minute, while the world's tallest building, Dubai's Burj Khalifa, has a lift that moves at 600m per minute. London's Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe, has lifts that move at 360m per minute.

Manager Jurgen Klopp had said Mane, 25, needed surgery, leaving it "pretty much impossible for him to play again this season". Liverpool are third in the Premier League and have six games left. The injury is expected to rule him out for two months. Mane joined the club for £34m from Southampton last summer and has started all but six of Liverpool's league games this campaign. Of those, one was won, three were drawn and two were lost. Klopp, speaking before Saturday's win at Stoke, also said Adam Lallana was "much better but is not in training" as the midfielder continues his recovery from a thigh injury suffered on England duty in March. Captain Jordan Henderson, who has been out since February, is "in a good way, but I don't know when he can be part of training again", the German added. Anthony Pilkington scored two goals for Cardiff and an own goal, but several of his team-mates squandered good chances. As a result, ninth-placed Bluebirds stayed five points off the top six. "Of course, it's frustrating. We've not lost any ground, but it could have been so much better," said Slade. "There are not going to be too many opportunities between now and the end of the season in games like that when you have created the greater chances. "The opposition have not been a fantastic threat. "You can't waste those - that's a problem there. You are not going to be getting too many more of those now." Pilkington's imperfect hat-trick was the main talking point of an eventful match against a team one point and one place above the relegation zone. Republic of Ireland international Pilkington had switched from his customary role on the wing to a roaming attacking position behind lone striker Joe Mason, as he had done for the preceding 3-1 win at Wolves. "I thought it was another excellent performance by Anthony Pilkington and he grabbed another couple of goals," said Slade. "He's played there a bit before, but it was only his second game in that position for me and he's really enjoying it in there. "He is finding pockets of space and was quite inventive. "I thought he was unfortunate with the own goal. There wasn't much he could do." As well as the own goal, the one other blotch on Pilkington's fine display was a second-half booking for what referee Jeremy Simpson deemed a dive in the Rotherham penalty area. "I don't think it was fair call," added Slade. "There was a shout for a penalty, but sometimes the player makes more of it than there is. In our opinion, it could have been given." Mohamed Zaouari, 49, was shot dead at the wheel of his car outside his home in Tunisia's second city, Sfax, on Thursday. The Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, said he had worked for the "resistance" for 10 years. It declared a day of mourning and vowed to avenge Mohamed Zaouari's death. Israel has not responded to the claims. "Qassam Brigades mourns the martyr of Palestine, martyr of the Arab and Muslim nation, the Qassam leader, engineer and pilot Mohamed Zaouari, who was assassinated by Zionist treacherous hands on Thursday in Sfax," a statement posted on the group's website said. "The enemy must know the blood of the leader Zaouari will not go in vain," the statement added. Hamas, which is in control of the Gaza Strip, does not recognise Israel's right to exist, and there have been years of conflict between the two sides. It has occasionally sent drones across the border into Israel but these have either crashed or been shot down. Tunisia's interior ministry said a Tunisian woman had been arrested at Tunis airport, on suspicion of involvement in the murder. It said that four rental vehicles had been seized, along with two guns equipped with silencers. Deputy prosecutor general Mourad Turki told the private radio station Shems FM that the arrested woman was a journalist who had previously interviewed the victim. He added that eight Tunisian suspects had been detained, and two others were still at large. Mohamed Zaouari has been buried in Sfax. Private radio station Mosaique FM reported that his body was riddled with 20 bullets. Hamas has offered no proof of its claims that Israel was behind the murder, but the country is believed to have assassinated members of militant groups abroad in the past. In 1997, agents from the Israeli spy agency Mossad conducted a failed bid to kill Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in Jordan by spraying poison into his ear. Mossad is also believed to have been behind the 2010 murder of top Hamas militant Mahmud al-Mabhuh, who died in a Dubai hotel. Israel has never confirmed or denied involvement in his killing. The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) and the Association of German Chambers of Commerce (DIHK) said uncertainty over "business critical" issues such as workers' rights, tax and customs arrangements needed to be tackled. DIHK said the uncertainty was affecting German firms which traded with the UK. Most BCC members say they want "at least" a three-year transition period. The groups called for political leaders to "build an atmosphere of mutual trust and constructive dialogue", to deliver clarity and certainty for businesses. With the third round of Brexit negotiations getting under way on Monday, a number of critical issues were still unresolved, while there are "hundreds" of practical and technical issues which also needed to be negotiated, they said. "There is real business appetite from both sides for a focus on practical, day-to-day business concerns, and a desire for clarity on future trading arrangements," said BCC director general Dr Adam Marshall. "The UK and the EU must begin work on transitional arrangements, particularly on customs, so that firms on both sides of the Channel have the confidence to make investment decisions." The UK is the third largest market for the export of German goods, while Germany is the UK's second biggest market for exports of goods and services. German firms employ an estimated 400,000 workers in the UK, while British firms employ around 220,000 workers in Germany. DIHK chief executive Martin Wansleben said German companies were concerned that Brexit would have "a major negative impact", with more trade barriers such as extra bureaucracy, and stricter border controls, leading to higher costs. "The terms of exit are still completely unclear. "Many of our members are reporting that they are already shifting investments away from the UK in anticipation of these barriers," he added. Ms Barnes was elected as an independent candidate in 2012 but has been a controversial figure during her tenure. A report last year found she may not have been properly insured when she was in a car crash and she was criticised for taking part in a documentary. In a statement on her website, Ms Barnes said: "I am content that I have delivered what I said I would." She said she had made several promises when elected, all of which she had kept, including ensuring victims and witnesses came first and preventing the politicisation of the PCC role. "I have also raised the profile of police and crime commissioners - not always in the way that I intended," she said. Ms Barnes also noted her proudest achievements were the establishment of a dedicated sexual assault referral centre in Maidstone and the crime victim support centre in Ashford. The former Kent Police Authority chairwoman said she had now spent more than 15 years in police accountability and governance. "Fifteen years service in this intense and all-consuming role is probably long enough," she said, adding that Kent Police was in "a very strong and sustainable position for the future". Ms Barnes said it would be "business as usual" until her term of office finished on 11 May. Super troupers Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, and Colin Firth are set to reprise their roles. The songs of Abba will also be back to provide a fresh soundtrack, featuring some songs which did not make it in to the original. Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again is scheduled for release in July 2018. The original film was based on a musical first staged in London's West End, but its successor is set to be written and directed by British filmmaker Ol Parker. Abba members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus will be executive producers, Deadline reported in an article later tweeted by Mr Parker. He is best known as writer of the The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, and Bill Nighy. The 2008 Mamma Mia was based on a bride-to-be's scheme to discover her father's identity - by inviting all three possible candidates to her wedding. Despite mixed reviews, it made money, money, money - an estimated $600m (£460m) worldwide, almost 12 times its budget. The musical is so successful there has even been a musical restaurant based on the Greek wedding of the plot. Perth-based Peak Resources said a site on the Wilton complex, near Redcar, had been earmarked for the development. The refinery would process minerals for use in a range of products including mobile phones, wind turbines and automotive parts. The company said the devaluation of sterling since the EU referendum had made the project more cost-effective. The Wilton site is already home to several major chemical companies. If the proposals are approved by planners, production could start in 2019, the company said. Managing director Darren Townsend said: "The choice of Tees Valley as the location for the refinery was compelling. "Whilst the long-term impact of Brexit is not yet fully understood, the devaluation of the pound is expected to improve operating costs and the UK's progressive stance on maintaining competitive corporate fiscal regimes post Brexit are both positives." Sue Jeffrey, leader of Redcar and Cleveland Council and Tees Valley Combined Authority member, said: "It is great that our area has been recognised as a preferred location by a company from the other side of the world, signalling a very clear indication of our global reputation for successful manufacturing." Peak Resources currently mines and processes neodymium and praseodymium - two soft metals, found mainly in Tanzania. Both are already used in the manufacture of components for electric cars and bikes, and wind turbines. Polling stations opened their doors at 07:00 BST and will close at 22:00. Votes are being cast to elect the mayor of Bristol, Bristol City Council councillors, and the police and crime commissioner (PCC) is being elected for Avon and Somerset. Elsewhere in England, elections are taking place for more than 120 councils, and to elect mayors in Liverpool, London and Salford. Netherlands player Cruyff died of cancer aged 68 in March. He made his name as a forward with Ajax and Barcelona, and was European footballer of the year three times. The council is giving £250,000 to the Cruyff Court project at Hutcheon Court. The astroturf surface would also be used for hockey and street dance. The plan is in partnership with The Denis Law Legacy Trust and the Cruyff Foundation. The playing area would be called Cruyff Court Denis Law, also honouring the Aberdeen-born football great. Law starred for Manchester United and Scotland. There are almost 200 Cruyff Courts in more than 15 countries around the world. Mr Kenny's party, Fine Gael, last week agreed a deal with Fianna Fáil to allow for a Fine Gael-led minority government in the Republic of Ireland. Fine Gael will now meet the Independent Alliance and the Rural Alliance. Mr Kenny said he would like to think a deal would be concluded this week. Earlier, acting Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney said he hoped an agreement would allow a vote for taoiseach on Thursday. Mortgage arrears The talks with independent members of parliament (known as Teachtaí Dála or TDs) are expected to cover a wide range of issues from mortgage arrears and crime to wind turbines and cardiac care. Independent TD for Kerry Michael Healy-Rae was less upbeat. He said it was unlikely a vote for a taoiseach will take place this week. Efforts to form a new government have been continuing since the Republic of Ireland's general election on 26 February. They tweeted: "The fire brigade were quickly on the scene and the AOC's emergency plan was put in place." The fire involved two pieces of cardboard in a basement car park, Rio 2016 officials said. The Australian delegation initially refused to move into the building on Sunday citing "blocked toilets, leaking pipes and exposed wiring". "The incident in the basement car park of building 23 in the Olympic Village was quickly controlled by the fire authorities who are constantly present," said Rio 2016 media manager Philip Wilkinson. "The occupants of the building were evacuated and were allowed to return inside the building after 30 minutes. The incident is being investigated."

Murray, 28, dominated throughout against the former junior world number one to secure a 6-1 6-2 6-3 victory. The world number two will now face Australian Sam Groth, holder of the game's fastest serve, on Thursday. Murray joined fellow Briton Johanna Konta in the second round but Dan Evans and Aljaz Bedene both went out. Relive wins for Murray and Konta Media playback is not supported on this device "It got tough at the end and there were a lot of long games and rallies. Alex fought hard and made it very competitive," said the Scot. "It was hot so I was glad to get it done in three sets." Murray has said he will leave the Australian Open if his pregnant wife, Kim, goes into labour, although she is not due to give birth until February. "I don't have any news because I've just come off the court," he joked in his post-match interview. "I'm hoping my phone hasn't been buzzing in my bag but Kim will message the team if anything happens in any of the matches." Zverev, 18, is widely considered one of the game's rising stars but the winner of last year's ATP Star of Tomorrow Award could not match Murray's consistency in the first two sets. The 6ft 6in German, ranked 83rd in the world, improved in a final set that lasted almost an hour but Murray's experience was key. The Scot broke Zverev's serve six times, saved six out of six break points and dominated when he came to the net, winning 12 points, to seal victory in just over two hours. Dan Evans' first appearance at the Australian Open ended in a 6-1 6-0 6-4 defeat in 88 minutes by Spain's Feliciano Lopez. The 25-year-old came through three rounds of qualifying but could not cope with Lopez's powerful serve. Evans made a better fist of the final set and held his first four service games but could not make any impression on the Spaniard's serve. British number two Aljaz Bedene was unable to overcome American 31st seed Steve Johnson and fell to a 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-3) defeat. Bedene, ranked 49th in the world, said he found the speed of the Melbourne courts difficult to handle. "I didn't really settle. It was way too quick for my game," said the Slovenia-born player. "I don't really like the quick surfaces like here. I am disappointed." The authority hopes external sources can, within two years, pay for its Birmingham-based European & International Affairs team - plus £120,000 for its office in Brussels. Supporters say the office is "required as much, if not more, post-Brexit". A UKIP MEP thinks the office should be "closed down immediately". More stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country. The debate comes as British prime minister Theresa May says the UK "cannot possibly" remain within the European single market, as staying in would mean "not leaving the EU at all". Birmingham's Labour-run council says since opening in 1984, the Brussels office and its European team have helped Birmingham access more than £1bn of funding from the European Union (EU) but the authority needs to save £54m a year by 2018 on top of the savings it has already made. EU-funded projects in Birmingham - £50m investment for the International Convention Centre (ICC) - £30m for the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) - £25.6m for Millenium Point - European Social Fund contributed to the Rover Task Force following the collapse of MG Rover - The University of Birmingham's €13.5 million ENCCA project about cancer treatments for children and adolescents - £741,000 for four International Dance Festival Birmingham events since 2008 According to its head Lloyd Broad, Birmingham's European & International Affairs team "leads on Brexit issues for the city" and looks after relations with its partner and sister cities including Chicago, Guangzhou, Johannesburg, Lyon, Milan, Leipzig and Frankfurt - the model, he says, for Birmingham's Christmas German market. Salaries for the individual members of the team have not been disclosed. The annual rent of the Brussels office is £135,000, with contributions to running costs coming from council partners including the University of Birmingham, Aston University, Birmingham City University, the University of Warwick and Jaguar Land Rover. Hiring out the facilities for conferences also provides some income. Those partners, Mr Broad said, have insisted the Brussels office is "required as much, if not more, post-Brexit" as EU policies "would still impact on the region" and funding "may still be available dependent on the type of Brexit deal negotiated for example research and innovation funding". Bill Etheridge, a West Midlands UKIP MEP, said if universities had money to "splash around" it should be used to cut tuition fees "not to perpetuate links with a failing federal superstate". The council is seeking the public's views on its budget proposals. The deadline is Wednesday. The Nigeria forward pounced on a headed knockdown from Troy Deeney to fire in from eight yards and score the club's first goal at home this campaign. Watford were reduced to 10 men when Valon Behrami was sent off after appearing to stamp on Andre Ayew. Bafetimbi Gomis went closest for the Swans with a shot that was well saved. Reaction to this match and the rest of Saturday's action Read how Watford recorded their first win Media playback is not supported on this device It is a cliche, but belief appeared to be the key. They reduced previously unbeaten Swansea to just eight efforts on goal - four of those off target. Unsurprisingly, the visitors, who prefer to play a passing game as opposed to the Hornets' more direct approach, had the most possession with 61.8%. But Swansea were second best in the duels, with Quique Sanchez Flores's men winning 54.8% of those battles in the second half. This fighting spirit has been typical of Watford this season so far, having held Southampton, West Brom and Everton. The difference at Vicarage Road on Saturday was that they also managed to score. Media playback is not supported on this device The focus was on last season's hero Deeney, who scored 21 goals in total to help the Hornets to promotion. He has yet to get off the mark this season, but played a major role in the goal and had support on Saturday from the scorer Ighalo. The 26-year-old Nigeria international was impressive as a target man. He caused all sorts of trouble for Swansea's backline, with the usually unflappable Ashley Williams finding it difficult to handle his physical presence and pace. His 84.6% success rate in distribution was the third best in his team and he won 50% of his duels. Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores: "It was a really big experience to win first match in Premier League. It was a really tough match as Swansea is a good team. "In the first half we played well and had control. It got complicated after the sending off. "In the second half we had to defend a lot, I don't like to play like this. I'm really pleased and would like to dedicate this win to the fans." Swansea manager Garry Monk: "We got what we deserved. We just didn't perform. We couldn't get into it when the sending off came. We are very disappointed. "We had a lack of focus on the things we do well. Our job is to come back and put those things right. "We have no excuses. We were quite sluggish. I have no complaints with the result." Watford, who have risen to 12th, face a trip to Newcastle next week, while Swansea, who fell to sixth, are at home to Everton.

Indoor gatherings of birds at events like fairs, auctions and bird shows are now banned until further notice. People are assured it is safe to eat poultry and eggs, with Christmas supplies not expected to be affected. The ban does not apply to pigeons or caged birds which present a much lower risk of passing the disease to domestic poultry, the Welsh Government said. It follows the discovery of the disease at a turkey farm at Louth, Lincolnshire, on Thursday. Most of the 5,000 birds there died and the rest were subsequently destroyed. Rural Affairs Secretary Lesley Griffiths said: "While there have been no cases of avian influenza in Wales, this ban on gatherings is an additional measure aimed at protecting our poultry flocks and other domestic birds from the disease. "I would encourage all poultry keepers, including those with fewer than 50 birds, to provide details of their flocks to the Poultry Register. "This will ensure they can be contacted immediately in the event of an avian disease outbreak so that they can take action to protect their flock at the earliest opportunity." Chief Veterinary Officer Christianne Glossop added: "Bio security should never be compromised. "Even when birds are housed, there remains a risk of infection and keepers of poultry and other captive birds should ensure that every effort is made to prevent contact with wild birds. "The movement of poultry should be minimized, and clothing and equipment should always be disinfected." The initial restrictions introduced earlier in December had been imposed for a period of 30 days, but the latest measures have no end date, the Welsh Government said. Similar bans have been introduced in England and Scotland. Six Cabinet posts have been shaken up in the reshuffle, with some rookies taking top roles. Major changes include Chrystia Freeland's move from international trade to foreign affairs. Immigration and democratic reform portfolios are affected, along with one key diplomatic post. It is the first major cabinet shuffle since Mr Trudeau took power in November 2015 and comes as Ottawa prepares for a protectionist administration about to take power in the US. President-elect Donald Trump is to be sworn in on 20 January. Chrystia Freeland, who helped prevent the collapse of the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) last October, will be one of Canada's main voices on the world stage as new global affairs minister. She will retain the Canada-US relations file, including trade relations with Canada's largest trading partner. Ms Freeland has lived in both Russia and the US, and spent time in Moscow as the former bureau chief of the Financial Times. She is known to be well connected in Washington. While she is also known in Moscow, Ms Freeland does not have the warm relationship her incoming US counterpart Rex Tillerson has with Russian officials. In fact, she is currently banned from Russia. Ms Freeland, who has been outspoken in her support of Ukraine, was one of 13 Canadian officials and politicians sanctioned by Moscow in 2014 in retaliation for sanctions imposed by Canada over Russia's annexation of Crimea. Mr Trudeau praised Ms Freeland as an "extremely strong member of the team" and for her handling of the Ceta file, and brushed off any possible tensions with Russia. "As to how she gets a long with Russia, well, she speaks fluent Russian," he said. Ms Freeland also waved off her ban from Russia, saying it was an issue for Moscow to tackle. She is being replaced at international trade by neophyte MP Francois-Philippe Champagne, a trade lawyer, who will work closely with Ms Freeland on a portfolio that includes Ceta and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Mr Trump has said he wants to either renegotiate or scrap Nafta altogether and has said he will quit the TPP on his first day in the White House. Speaking in context of his re-shuffled team, Mr Trudeau noted on Tuesday that "obviously the new administration to the south will offer both opportunities and challenges as well as a shift in global context". Ms Freeland is replacing Stephane Dion, who announced on Tuesday that he was leaving politics after 21 years. He has been offered an ambassadorial position by the prime minister. John McCallum, who helped oversee efforts to fast-track 25,000 Syrian refugees into the country, is being shuffled from the immigration portfolio and will become Canada's new ambassador to China. The veteran politician will help oversee the country's move to deepen economic ties with China, including exploring a possible free trade deal with the Asian nation. Senior officials in the Trudeau government have been working hard to lay the groundwork for the new relationship between Canada and the US as Mr Trump prepares to replace President Barack Obama. They have been meeting regularly with members of Mr Trump's advisory team since the presidential election south of the border, and there have been efforts to reach out to lawmakers from the 35 northern US states. Two of Mr Trudeau's top aides met last week with Mr Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon and the president-elect's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to reports. Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who helped negotiate Nafta, has also been playing an intermediary role between Ottawa and Washington.

The Markit/CIPS UK manufacturing purchasing managers' index rose to 55.1 in July, up from 54.2 the month before. A figure above 50 indicates expansion. The survey found export orders rose last month at the fastest pace since April 2010, and at the second highest rate since the survey began. Markit said the weaker pound remained a "key driver" of export growth. The pound jumped to a 10-month high against the US dollar after the publication of the report. The figures revealed the first pick-up in growth for three months. Rob Dobson, a director at Markit, said: "Although the exchange rate remains a key driver of export growth, manufacturers also benefited from stronger economic growth in key markets in the euro area, North America and Asia-Pacific regions. "Continued expansion is also still filtering through to the labour market, with the latest round of manufacturing job creation among the best seen over the past three years." The Bank of England will make its latest decision on Thursday on whether to raise interest rates. Mr Dobson added: "If this trend of milder price pressures is also reflected in other areas of the UK economy, this should provide the Bank of England sufficient leeway to maintain its current supportive stance until the medium-term outlook for economic growth becomes less uncertain." Economists warned that the figures would not necessarily boost wider UK growth. Samuel Tombs of Pantheon Macroeconomics said: "Markit's survey remains consistent with only modest growth in manufacturing output that will provide insufficient compensation for the slowdown in the consumer sectors of the economy." James Smith, an economist at ING, added: "Wider economic data, from the weak second-quarter growth reading to the latest dip in consumer confidence, suggests that the economy is losing speed. "For that reason, we think the Bank of England is unlikely to hike rates this year."

A surge in export orders helped to lift manufacturing activity last month, according to a closely-watched survey.

Stephen Munro, 45, from Aberkenfig, Bridgend, denied stalking his former partner but was found guilty after a trial at Swansea Crown Court. The court heard he was "besotted" with her, approaching her outside her home and at a park while she walked her dog between January and May of last year. Munro was jailed for 18 months on Tuesday. The court was told he was a successful businessman who owned a taxi firm and a minibus company which operates a £20,000-a-month school transport contract around Bridgend. The jury heard he had been jailed for eight days over Christmas 2015 after she ended their four-year relationship the previous June. He was later given a suspended sentence and a restraining order with instructions not to contact his ex after pleading guilty to harassing her. But within the same month he continued his stalking. Judge Daniel Hale said: "You're a man in your 40s. Not some lovelorn teenager. "She clearly wanted to lead an independent life. But you were besotted with her. "There was no violence but it must have been unpleasant." Munro also had his restraining order extended to include streets near her home and was ordered to pay a £150 victim surcharge.

A man who stalked his ex-girlfriend just weeks after police handed him a restraining order has been jailed.

It reported net profit of $28m (£18.8m), against a loss of $148m a year earlier. It was the second quarter running the company had posted a surprise profit. However, revenue slid to $660m from $793m, below analysts' expectations. For the year, Blackberry reported that its loss had narrowed to $304m. "Our focus this past year was on getting our financial house in order while creating a multi-year growth strategy and investing in our product portfolio. We now have a very good handle on our margins and our product roadmaps have been well received,'' chief executive John Chen said in a statement. "The second half of our turnaround focuses on stabilisation of revenue with sustainable profitability and cash generation." The firm reported a positive cash flow of $76m, compared with a cash burn of $784m a year previously. "Blackberry continues to do a good job controlling operating expenses and eliminating its cash burn during its business transition, but the total revenue was still a big miss and we still have concerns about the demand side of the equation," said Morningstar analyst Brian Colello. Finnish national Cubeyda Hassan Jama, of London Road, Thornton Heath, London, was charged with "engaging in conduct in preparation for giving effect to intention to commit acts of terrorism". He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday. Detectives from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command arrested him at Stansted Airport on Friday. The council brought in the mandatory training last year after the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal inquiry found taxi drivers had played a "prominent role" in the abuse. Eleven drivers who have not yet attended the course could have their licences suspended unless they comply. The council said feedback was positive. Conwy council was the first in north Wales to launch the courses, which aims to raise awareness of the issue, give advice on the signs and symptoms to look out for and what to do if they suspect abuse. A report to councillors said 340 drivers - 97% of those licensed in the county - had now attended. Members are now looking at options on the action to take against those who do not comply. They include revoking or suspending their licences, considering licence renewal applications or holding a meeting to hear their representations on why they have not attended. Licensing officers are also in talks with children's charity Barnardo's over the feasibility of introducing an online course, which has already been done in other parts of the country. She lost her freedom, much of her youth and, it was feared, her sanity after she was caught carrying 4.2kg (9.3lb) of marijuana in her boogie board bag into Bali through Denpasar airport on 8 October 2004. To the horror of many Australians, the former beauty school student who worked in her parents' fish and chip shop was sentenced to 20 years' jail in Bali's Kerobokan prison. On Saturday, 12 years to the day after she was sentenced, Corby will be deported from Bali to start a new life at home on Queensland's Gold Coast. Her sentence was televised live. Australians watched as Corby slapped her forehead repeatedly with her palm and dissolved into tears, while her supporters in the Denpasar Local Court erupted in anger. But an Australian-based Indonesian law expert says the price could have been so much higher. Corby's arrest caused one of the greatest rifts in the already testy history of Australian-Indonesian relations. Many Australians reacted badly to the sight of the small, bronzed Queenslander with big, green eyes locked in a foreign jail for carrying "a bit of dope". But Tim Lindsey, a professor in Asian law and director of the Centre for Indonesian Law, Islam and Society at the University of Melbourne's Melbourne Law School, says Corby's crime is among the most serious in Indonesian law. He says in the 1970s the West, led by then US President Richard Nixon and his war on drugs, demanded South East Asian nations with more relaxed drug laws adopt a similar hard-line approach. Australia, Canada and many EU nations have now backed away from that hard line, but Prof Lindsey says many countries maintain a punitive approach. "In Indonesia in particular, they take the view that there is no distinction between marijuana and heroin and cocaine. All of those drugs are in category one, the most serious forms of drugs," he says. "In Indonesia, the death sentence is available for dozens of offences, but is usually only applied to three - particularly serious, premeditated murders get death, terrorism gets death and drugs offences get death. "Like other countries in South East Asia, in Indonesia trafficking drugs is seen as a form of mass murder [because of the deaths caused by drugs]." Prof Lindsey says Corby's life was on the line when her trial began in the Denpasar Local Court in January 2005. "She was certainly facing death. There are three penalties that could be imposed upon her: death, life in prison or up to 20 years in prison," he says. In Australia, anti-Indonesian sentiment soared. Sister Mercedes Corby and mother Rosleigh Rose held emotionally-charged media conferences in Bali, proclaiming Schapelle's innocence, demanding the Australian government bring Schapelle home, and floating theories about how the drugs came to be in her bag. One theory suggested a corrupt baggage handler in Brisbane sent the shipment in Corby's bag, intending it to be intercepted in Sydney before the flight then headed for Denpasar. But a former member of Corby's defence, Robin Tampoe, later declared that he had made up the theory himself. Philip Ruddock, who was Australia's attorney-general when Corby was arrested, has said claims of a set-up lack evidence. "You know, these were claims. It's never been proven that drugs were planted on her," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp this week. "I'm sure every endeavour was taken to establish the truth," he said, adding that "some parties might not like the truth". At the time, Sydney radio shock jock Malcolm T. Elliott described the judges in Corby's case and then-Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as "monkeys". His inflammatory comments referred to the judges as "straight out of the trees". Some questioned why Australia handed Indonesia a A$1bn (£577m; $750m) relief package following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami if this how a "young, innocent" Aussie girl was treated. Actor Russell Crowe stepped into Corby's corner. "When there is such doubt, how can we, as a country, stand by and let a young lady, as an Australian, rot away in a foreign prison? That is ridiculous," he said in April 2005. That same month, Indonesia's consulate-general in Perth received an envelope containing two bullets and a letter that read, in part: "If Schapelle Corby is not released immediately you will all receive one of these bullets through the brain." Protests both for and against Corby raged in Australia and Indonesia. Prof Lindsey says the unprecedented saga did Corby no favours. "A circus was whipped up around the case, with crowds of people pushing into proceedings, people yelling and screaming at judges, people abusing judges, people giving press conferences in which judges and the system were abused and attacked," he says. Her defence team made little effort to displace the prosecution's case, Prof Lindsey says. "It was always very likely that she was going to be convicted," he says. The behaviour of Corby and her supporters was also a major issue. "She never admitted guilt - and maybe she didn't do it, I don't know - but she never acknowledged guilt. She never seemed remorseful in court, and she behaved in a highly emotional and sometimes offensive way to the court," Prof Lindsey says. This counts for much in the Indonesian system come sentencing, he says. Many Australians were angry at Corby's 20-year jail term, comparing it to the much lighter terms given to some of the minor players in the deadly 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 202 people including 88 Australians. But Prof Lindsey says despite Indonesia's notoriously clunky legal system, Corby was treated fairly. He says the judges knew the world was watching and "seemed to manage this case pretty much straight down the line". "They were provoked sufficiently that they could have given her a very severe sentence," he says. "She got the maximum term of imprisonment below life. It's not life. It's not easy, but it could have been worse." A series of appeals between July 2005 and March 2008 ultimately failed to improve Corby's situation. Her sentence was cut by five years in an October 2005 appeal, but the defence and prosecution appealed that, and the 20-year sentence was reinstated. One appeal opened in August 2006, with Corby's defence saying CCTV footage from Sydney Airport the day she travelled to Bali would clear her. They were given 10 days to produce it but did not. If the Corby circus wasn't enough, the sideshows were spectacular and damaged Corby's credibility with her Australian supporters. In 2005, before her sentence, Queensland businessman Ron Bakir announced he would fund Corby's defence and had retained a law firm to investigate the source of the marijuana in Corby's bag. He cut ties with the Corby team after alleging a prosecutor had asked for a bribe to reduce the sentence his team would request for Corby. It incensed Corby's legal team, most of whom were later sacked in dramatic and public fashion anyway. Her half-brother James Kisina, who was with her when she was arrested, was revealed to have criminal convictions, while Mercedes Corby won a defamation case after a television network aired an interview with a family friend. Other claims surfaced that Corby's father, Michael, had alleged dealings with the drugs trade. He died of bowel cancer in 2008. That year, Corby was admitted to hospital twice suffering from depression. In 2010, Corby appealed to President Yudhoyono for clemency and her release on humanitarian grounds because of her mental health. He cut her term by five years and, Prof Lindsey says, endured great public criticism and failed legal moves to reverse his decision. Corby was released on parole in February 2014, nine years and four months after her arrest thanks to Mr Yudhoyono's clemency and regular sentence discounts for Christmas and Indonesian Independence Day. Mr Lindsey says she was "treated in a reasonable fashion as a drug trafficker in the context of the Indonesian legal system". Corby has kept a low profile since she was paroled. For now, she lives in a modern villa in Kuta. Celebrity PR agent Max Markson says Corby could cash in once she comes home, although it is not clear what role Australia's Proceeds of Crime laws might play. "Schapelle Corby's name has been famous for 12 or 13 years, she's a brand, there's no doubt about it," he said last week. Reality TV and invitations to big events like the Melbourne Cup beckon, he says. There are reports Corby wants to stay in Bali with her local boyfriend Ben Panangian and her dogs. If she's deported, it's likely she'll be barred from returning for six months. Prof Lindsey says it's unlikely she'll get to stay. "But nothing has been normal in this case," he says. The move, which began on Thursday, follows a series of attacks on security forces and banks in southern districts of the Indian-administered region. Security forces have surrounded at least 20 villages in what they say is a search-and-cordon operation. Protests have escalated in the Muslim-majority region since April. Troops began searching for militants early on Thursday in Shopian district, reports said. "We saw helicopters hovering over us as the army, paramilitary forces and police were conducting house searches," Rasheed Wani, a villager from Shopian, told the BBC's Riyaz Masroor. Senior police official SP Pani told the AFP news agency that it was "an unprecedented operation". "It is impossible to capture the militants, but we hope there will be contact [exchange of fire] with them in the course of the day." Officials said the forces had encountered resistance from civilians during the operation. Eyewitnesses told AFP that hundreds of residents came out on to the streets in two villages, Sug and Tarkwangan, and threw stones at the soldiers. One resident alleged that soldiers had attacked private homes in his village with sticks and rocks. A civilian driver was killed and two soldiers were injured late on Thursday, when a man hired by the army to transport soldiers came under fire, a senior police officer said. A senior official told The Indian Express newspaper that a search operation "of this magnitude has not been undertaken in Kashmir in the last 15 years". Army Chief General Bipin Rawat told reporters the work was being carried out to bring the situation in the Kashmir valley "under control". Kashmir saw fresh clashes between troops and protesters amid attempts to hold a by-election in April. Local protesters hurled stones at security forces who were accused of opening fire into the crowds. A viral video of a group of Kashmiris heckling a soldier has also contributed to anti-Kashmiri sentiment in the rest of the country. There has been an armed revolt in the Muslim-majority region against rule by India since 1989. High unemployment and complaints of heavy-handed tactics by security forces battling street protesters and fighting insurgents have aggravated the problem. The development of South Quay in Hayle will see the construction of a supermarket, 30 homes, a restaurant and a retail unit, developers said. The consent comes after the Secretary of State for Communities said he was not calling in the application. The plans have been criticised because they are to be based in a prominent part of a World Heritage Site. South Quay has been derelict for 40 years and is owned by ING Real Estate. As well as the quay development, three other retail units are planned for the nearby site of the town's former foundry. The planning consent included an obligation requiring ING Real Estate to complete repairs to Hayle's historic harbour walls, Cornwall Council said. English Heritage has been opposed to the plans; as has Icomos, which advises Unesco on World Heritage sites. Both described them as "incongruous". English Heritage added that the proposals were "unacceptable in this sensitive location". The area was granted World Heritage status in 2006 because of its mining and industrial history. Mr Barnier was speaking at an EU parliamentary conference in Malta. The negotiations on UK withdrawal from the EU are scheduled to start on 19 June. "We want full transparency for these negotiations," Mr Barnier said. The UK's exit bill and EU citizens' rights are likely to be tough issues. Mr Barnier and EU leaders say they want to see "sufficient progress" on those issues, and Northern Ireland border arrangements, before embarking on talks aimed at a long-term EU-UK trade deal. However, the British government wants trade talks to be conducted in parallel with the talks on UK withdrawal terms. UK ministers have also reacted angrily to reports that the EU may demand as much as €100bn (£86bn; $112bn) from the UK. "Once it leaves the Union the UK could be tempted to distance itself from our standards, for example on consumer protection or on financial stability rules," Mr Barnier said in his Malta speech. "We must ensure that this inevitable divergence does not become unfair competition. Since if that were to happen I think most of you would feel very reluctant to approve such a deal. "To avoid that situation, it is necessary for your parliaments to follow closely the entire negotiation process." Under the EU's Article 50, the UK has to leave by the end of March 2019, even if no final deal has been concluded. Ahead of the Brexit talks, the European Commission has published papers setting out "essential principles" on citizens' rights and on a financial settlement with the UK, which will be presented to the British negotiators. Mr Barnier said the national parliaments should provide significant input into the EU's "future partnership" with the UK. That deal would have to be ratified by parliaments EU-wide, and by the European Parliament, he said, adding: "You will have the final word." At an election campaign event in south-west London on Monday UK Prime Minister Theresa May said "we continue to want a deep and special partnership with the remaining 27 countries". She hopes that the snap election she called for 8 June will deliver a stronger majority to the Conservatives, giving them more political clout in the Brexit talks. "There won't be any putting it off," she said, referring to the 19 June start date for the negotiations. Stuart Hamilton, from Gorgie, was captured on CCTV at Haymarket Station on 26 September. He was spotted near Buckingham Palace in London a few days later by a former colleague, but had not been seen since. Police Scotland said the 37-year-old was "deemed to be safe and well". The lights in the stadium had been running on a generator following recent power problems in the area but went out at one end after six minutes. After an 18-minute break, play resumed at 0-0 but, almost immediately, the ground plunged into near darkness. The match had been rearranged because of Aberdeen's involvement in the League Cup final last month. The floodlights had been powered by the generator with no problems for last Tuesday's win over Kilmarnock and the weekend draw with St Johnstone. Aberdeen chief executive Duncan Fraser told BBC Scotland: "We brought in two generators and tested them - they've be working fine for the last week and a half, but tonight the generator tripped. "We powered it up again but when it tripped again, we had no option but to call the game off. "We can only apologise to both sets of supporters." With the December schedule already packed, it is unlikely the game will be replayed before January's winter break. "It is outwith our control and Aberdeen's as well," said Motherwell chief operating officer Alan Burrows. "At Motherwell we have had problems with floodlights in the past too, so they have my sympathy. Unfortunately, these things happen. "My sympathy is with the Motherwell fans and we will see what we can do in terms of helping them with travel for coming back up here for whenever the game is played again. We will discuss the options with them. "The key thing is the safety of the players and the people in the ground. I think it is the right decision by Aberdeen, and they made it promptly. These things happen unfortunately, we just have to get on with it." Dr Margaret Flynn said Dr Prana Das, whose trial ended when he was injured in a burglary, "should have and could have been prosecuted". Her inquiry found care providers were "impervious" to older people's needs. The CPS said there was insufficient evidence for a conviction. Dr Flynn who reviewed the treatment of the residents of six homes investigated as part of Operation Jasmine, told BBC 5 Live the CPS' response to her report had been "insensitive and blinkered". "I think it's both graceless and insensitive, given that families are grieving and are aggrieved. The outcome is that what we have are a host of unanswered questions," she said. "Given the very slow changing gears that kept matters of Operation Jasmine out of the public eye for over sever years, their (CPS) very rapid response is graceless." Lorraine Brannan, of the Justice for Jasmine campaign group, said relatives now wanted to meet the Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, to find out why the CPS was not reconsidering the case. "We thought they would at least have considered it," she said. "To give an answer almost immediately was disappointing. Everybody's really shocked at the level of neglect but still nobody is accountable." The family of Daniel Rowlands, 86, who lived at a former Southern Cross home in Caerphilly county, which was not investigated as part of Operation Jasmine, came forward to highlight issues at the home following an appeal by Dr Flynn. His daughter Julia Matthews secured an out-of-court settlement after suing the firm for clinical negligence over his treatment there. She said her father, who died in 2009, would scream in pain caused by pressure sores on his feet, with the bones visible. "No one will stand up and say, 'Do you know what, I am the one that caused that problem. I am to blame.' My father went through physical and mental torment," she said. Police decided Mr Rowlands's case did not meet the criminal threshold for prosecution but Julia Matthews also wants that reviewed. The paper has spoken to what it describes as "a battered pensioner" who was beaten with a claw hammer during a terrifying attack at his home in Kilkeel, County Down. Clifford Mooney, who is 69, told the paper he fears those responsible will come back to hurt him again. He said he woke up on Tuesday night with "three boys" standing in his bedroom. "Then whack, I got hit on the head with a claw hammer," he said. "Then they put a pillowcase over my head and tied a belt around my neck and legs. "I was shouting, so they took the pillow case off and stuffed a towel in my mouth." The News Letter also features a picture of the injured Mr Mooney on its front page. The photograph shows the pensioner lying in a hospital bed with dark bruising on his face. Mr Mooney's nephew, Adrian Eakins, has described those who hurt his uncle as "scum". "He's never even fell out with anyone in his life," he said. "He initially thought it was his nephews, us, at the bottom of the bed. "He would be a religious man and was just back from a prayer group. "They took his bible and went through his pockets and took his wallet. "He gets a pension on a Monday and on the Tuesday they had taken it from him, they tried to take every penny he had." Also in the News letter is a psychiatrist's analysis of terrorists. Under the headline "IRA just calculating killers," Dr Philip McGarry explains his findings. He said the IRA and loyalists were often described as "crazy" or "psychopaths," but he asserts that politically-motivated violence and terrorism were, by definition, "mindful". In the Irish News is the story of an Irish woman who has been killed in a helicopter crash in Wales. Ruth Burke and her husband Kevin, who ran a construction company, are believed to have died in the crash along with Mr Burke's two brothers and one of their wives. Also in the paper is a nod to Rome, with a promise by the Vatican that Pope Francis will "do everything he can" to come to Ireland next year. The same story is picked up by the Belfast Telegraph, where it reports on "strong speculation" that the Pope will include Northern Ireland in his visit. Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin said: "If he does come, he'll surprise us and challenge us. "Ireland has changed, the Pope has changed." On page three of the Belfast Telegraph is a story of relief after a baby emerged "unscathed" from a "horror crash". Baby Penelope was pulled from the crash which left the car, driven by mum, Sarah Thompson, written off. The police released images of the crash on Wednesday and said a "carefully fitted car seat" had saved the baby's life. Mrs Thompson told the paper the crash was "absolutely terrifying" and that Penelope had made no noise in the moment's after the impact. She said it was only after she saw the picture the police shared that she realised how lucky they were. "In the end she didn't even have to go to hospital," she said. "The people at the scene were a huge help. "One man leaned straight in, unbuckled the seatbealt and lifted out the car seat. "He was great and took Penelope to the other side of the road out of harm's way." Scotland are in Malta for Sunday's Group F opener as Strachan and his staff attempt to bury the disappointment of failing to reach Euro 2016 with a place at the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia. "I have been excited for a wee while, the last couple of weeks, and it's built up even more since we met up as a squad on Tuesday," he told BBC Scotland. "The excitement and reality is there in dealing with the players, the joy you get working with good players and good professionals has added to the excitement of another campaign. "You never know when the big game is, you just have to make sure you are prepared for that game." In sharp contrast to the opening match of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, when they faced the newly-crowned world champions Germany in Dortmund, the Scots face a side at a lowly 176 in the Fifa rankings. But Strachan argues that those ratings are flawed and that his side will have to stand up to stubborn opponents. "I don't know where the rankings come from because that's a nonsense, it's a complete and utter nonsense," he said. "If you only get beat by Croatia 1-0, you only get beat by Italy 1-0 and you score against Austria and it's 2-1, I don't know how the computer works that out but I would take it back and get it fixed! "You can never really plan a match. What I do know is that Malta make it very difficult for any visiting team. "Croatia - who we will all agree are a tremendous side and one of the best at the European Championship - found it very difficult here." Media playback is not supported on this device The Scottish Football Association have chosen to catchphrase the campaign with the slogan "This Time." It is a bold statement as the Scots look to end a near two decade-long wait for a place at a major finals. Strachan agrees with the sentiment. "That is my belief yes, it is my belief," he said. "Everybody who comes up to me and wishes us good luck and says the last time we were unlucky. All that (gives me belief). "The players, the staff, the excitement of what you can achieve. The fans have been absolutely terrific and there are 4,500 out here. There were 12,500 stood in the pouring rain after Gibraltar, congratulating the players on their efforts. "You add all that together and it's quite positive." Keane turned down the Celtic job in 2014 following Neil Lennon's departure, and is reportedly in the running again following Deila's announcement that he will leave the club this summer. "He's a very good manager," O'Dea said. "At a club like Celtic he would be under massive pressure, something he's lived with his whole career." After moving on-loan to Ipswich in 2010 from Celtic, the Irish defender sampled first-hand how Keane operates. "I was very impressed with him in my time at Ipswich," O'Dea told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound programme. "He's portrayed in the media as a real tough guy which he certainly is, but he's got a very articulate manner about him as well. "He's a very witty guy, he's funny. He's good company and he's a very good manager. All the sport science in football, he's very clued up. Probably the most knowledgeable guy I've come across in football. He knows football inside-out, watches all types of football. "Of course there that's streak, he's a guy you wouldn't want to cross. When you're doing your job and you're doing it well he'd be the first to say well done, but likewise if you're not and he feels that you're not giving 100% he'll be the first to tell you." O'Dea, capped 20 times by his country, feels Keane will have benefitted from a spell working alongside Martin O'Neill as assistant manager in the Republic of Ireland set-up. "He wouldn't have done it with many other managers and he's probably learned a lot from Martin O'Neill as well," O'Dea continued. "I'd imagine if he came back into management he'd have a lot more experience and working with someone like Martin O'Neill will have helped him no end. "He's got plenty of different attributes he could bring. He's a very good coach. He's a guy that is obviously a big, big character. Would probably be a big enough character to manage Celtic, although it would remain to be seen how he would deal with the pressures of media." O'Dea has also played under another man being linked in some quarters with the soon-to-be vacant Celtic manager's job, Brendan Rodgers, and feels the former Liverpool boss would also be a good fit at Celtic Park. "The whole place will feel very comfortable under him," explained O'Dea, who played under Rodgers during a loan spell at Reading in 2009. "As a coach he's meticulous. The way training is run, everything is with a purpose. There's an explanation to everything. He was just fantastic on the training pitch. "As a guy he was second to none, a lovely, lovely guy. He's not a disciplinarian, but he's certainly got a big enough character. He's gone on and managed a massive club in Liverpool which would be similar to Celtic in terms of the scrutiny he'd be under. "I would say Brendan Rodgers would be a fantastic appointment for Celtic. I think he ticks a lot of the boxes that Celtic need. "He's got the character to do it and he likes to play a certain style of football that I think would also suit Celtic." But what of its original purpose as a gadget to get a million Year 7 children to think differently about computing? It is fair to say there were plenty of teething troubles with the project. The hope had been that it would arrive in September 2015, at the beginning of the school year, but repeated delays meant many schools were not able to hand the Micro Bits over to Year 7 pupils until the beginning of the summer term. I heard plenty of grumbling from teachers that this was too late to integrate the device into the curriculum and in any case they had not been given time to prepare teaching materials. There was also a lively discussion about whether it was really a good idea to hand over the Micro Bits to the children to take home - as the project's organisers instructed - rather than keeping them in the classroom. Years ago, I saw a similar debate in Nigeria, where the One Laptop Per Child project encouraged schools to let children take the laptops home, while the rival Intel Classmate scheme saw the computers locked away at the end of each day. The BBC says the Micro Bit has already been a success in changing attitudes to computing, and its research suggests girls in particular are now more inclined to think of studying the subject. But what is the view from the schools that have had to make it work? I've been speaking to three teachers. How has the Micro Bit been received in your school? Amy McGarry-Thickitt, Ashfield School, Nottinghamshire The Micro Bits have gone down very well in our school, students are really enjoying using them and staff have found them easy to teach with. Lucy Bunce, Y Pant Comprehensive, Pontyclun, Glamorgan We found they were much easier to use than the Raspberry Pis that we had tried earlier - they made a very quick impact and were integrated very easily into the network Talking to a few pupils, all said they'd like to do more Micro Bit work in lessons this year, which I think is something we'll pick up on. Paula Dean, Pleckgate High School, Blackburn The students are very excited about the Micro Bit. We as computing teachers are also excited because this is a simple way to teach quite complex understanding. The students get real-time visual feedback on their programming, which makes it very exciting. They like that the Micro Bit tells them where there is an error in their coding as well. Did the late arrival of something intended for the beginning of Year 7 have an impact? Amy McGarry-Thickitt: Yes, the late arrival has meant that we are only now teaching with them (current Year 8, last year's Year 7) as we didn't have time to write schemes of work and roll it out, so it had to be postponed. Lucy Bunce: They arrived in March, right in the middle of marking season, so there was no time for the teachers to play around with them and lessons were not as well planned as we would have liked. But we did find lots of good material online. Paula Dean: Yes, it meant in our school that we didn't have the time to use them in Year 7. We are now using them during Year 8 lessons, but also in Year 9 lessons too. Was there any noticeable impact on girls' attitudes to computing? Amy McGarry-Thickitt: Girls seem to be engaging more, and more girls than boys seem interested in taking them home. Lucy Bunce: Well, we took a group of girls to a digital festival and they gave good feedback - but they were perhaps a self-selecting group. We have finally got four girls to do computing GCSE, out of a total of 23 students. Paula Dean: The girls are more engaged due to the visual aspect of the Micro Bit. They can see how this could be used in the real world. Were the children allowed to take the devices home? Amy McGarry-Thickitt: While we are working on them in school, we have kept hold of the Micro Bit - but at the end of the topic we are allowing students to take them home if they choose to. Lucy Bunce: Yes they took them home at the end of the summer term. We need to find out what they did with them - my fear is that many may have ended up being stuck in a drawer. In retrospect, we wonder whether we should have held them back and given them to this year's Year 7s. But a few pupils have told me they played with them in the holidays. One said he'd connected it to his phone and made a selfie stick with it, and another took it on the plane to Croatia and had all the flight attendants playing. Paula Dean: The children have not yet taken them home. In our computing lessons, we have introduced them to programming using it. Once they are confident in using the website and the different programming languages, then the Year 8 students will take them home. We didn't want them to take them without knowing how to use them, because we feared they would just get stuck in a drawer never to be used again. What happens next? Do this year's Year 7s get them, or do the children who've already got them carry on using them in class? Amy McGarry-Thickitt: Next year, we will be using any that we have left with other year groups. We would like to run an after-school club for the children who take them home. Lucy Bunce: We could not afford to buy them for all of the year, but we are considering getting several per class. Paula Dean: We are going to be running a club where students can make music with them. The idea is to have a music gig to present in assemblies. The 28-year-old, whose previous deal ran out in the summer, has made 45 appearances since joining Town in 2014. He fell behind Dean Gerken in the pecking order, but reclaimed his place after Gerken injured his shoulder in the defeat at Birmingham last month. "I've been pleased with my performances since I returned to the team," he said. "I have felt very confident and made some good saves but then that is my job really." Rangers had effectively replaced the relegated Coatbridge outfit in the third tier of Scottish football. But July's 4-0 win for Ally McCoist's under-strength team demonstrated a gulf in quality on the park, while the switch of venue to Livingston underlined the different realms in which these clubs operate. Now these worlds collide again as they prepare to meet at Ibrox next month with a place in the Scottish Cup semi-finals at stake. There may only be one division separating the sides but their respective campaigns make for a stark contrast. Rangers are coasting at the top of League One, unbeaten and victorious in 22 of their 23 games. Albion Rovers are seventh in League Two, with 31 points from 23 games. So, Rangers have picked up more than double the points on offer. Albion Rovers experimented with a "pay what you can" scheme in January, with a crowd increase of 125% and gate receipts up 160%. Supporters and visiting fans were asked to fork out what they could afford for a ticket, with a minimum £1 entry. The attendance for the 1-0 win over Montrose? 718. The mean league crowd at Cliftonhill this season has been 420, so the Wee Rovers players might want to wear earplugs when they get to Ibrox - with 42,844 turning up on average this term. So, Rangers have more than 100 times the home support. Rangers have lifted the Scottish Cup on 33 occasions, the last of those triumphs coming in 2009. Albion Rovers have never won it, although they did get to the final in 1920, losing out to Kilmarnock 3-2 in front of a 95,000 crowd at Celtic Park. And how did they get there? Well, they beat Rangers in the semi-finals after a second replay. The Rovers trophy room has plenty of room for expansion, with two title successes from Scotland's lowest tier to their name. Rangers' silver polish bill is much higher, having celebrated 55 league-winning parties, 27 League Cups and a European Cup Winners' Cup as well as those Scottish Cup victories. So, Rangers have won 58 times the number of trophies (sorry, the Lanarkshire Cup doesn't count). Nicky Law, who scored twice in July's 4-0 win, earns more in his weekly wage packet than the whole of Rovers' part-time squad put together. The Ibrox salary bill is estimated at between £6m and £7m per annum. Ally McCoist recently signed off on a 50% pay cut, reducing his earnings to £415,000 a year. When Albion Rovers won promotion to Division Two via the play-offs in 2011, players were reported to be picking up £50-a-week. So, Rangers spend a WHOLE LOT MORE. Rangers are currently listed as second favourites for the Scottish Cup by the tournament's sponsors, with odds of 10/3. You can get 200/1 on Albion Rovers, who haven't been this far in the competition for 80 years. The bookmakers are seldom wrong but football can always throw up a surprise. After all, Rovers took care of Premiership Motherwell in the fourth round, thanks to a last-minute shot from Gary Phillips. And Philips was on target again as Stenhousemuir, from League One, were beaten 2-0 on Saturday. Rangers swept aside Dunfermline to reach the last eight and knocked out Falkirk in the previous round but they have suffered a cup shock this season, losing after extra-time to Forfar in the League Cup. July's head-to-head in Livingston was the first one in more than 30 years, with the last Scottish Cup clash between the sides ending 6-2 in Rangers' favour back in 1982. The last time the teams met in the same league was in season 1948/49, with Rangers winning 4-1 and 3-1 in what was the highest of two divisions. But, of course, Rovers can draw on that prolonged Scottish Cup semi-final from 1920 for inspiration and one solitary league success three years later. The great Rocky Marciano was born in 1923 and Rovers will need to summon the strength and courage of the legendary boxer to stand any chance of going the distance at Ibrox. Those in charge of the Albion Rovers website wrote on Saturday: "Match report to follow. We're off to the pub!" In the event of a highly unlikely away win in the next round, that website may take a day or two to update... Clicking the cross in the top-right hand corner of the pop-up box now agrees to a scheduled upgrade rather than rejecting it. This has caused confusion as clicking the cross typically closes a pop-up notification. The upgrade could still be cancelled when the scheduled time for it to begin appeared, Microsoft said. The change occurred because the update is now labelled "recommended" and many people have their PCs configured to accept recommended updates for security reasons. This means dismissing the box does not dismiss the update. Brad Chacos, senior editor at the PC World website, described it as a "nasty trick". "Deploying these dirty tricks only frustrates long-time Windows users who have very valid reasons to stick with operating systems they already know and love," he wrote. Microsoft said: "With the free Windows 10 upgrade offer ending on 29 July, we want to help people upgrade to the best version of Windows. "As we shared in October, Windows 10 will be offered as a 'recommended' update for Windows 7 and 8.1 customers whose Windows Update settings are configured to accept 'recommended' updates. "Customers can choose to accept or decline the Windows 10 upgrade." Nick Hardwick said they were "more dangerous" for staff and prisoners and "less effective" at preparing people for release so they do not reoffend. He also said he had seen prisoners who were "out of it" from taking legal highs. The Ministry of Justice said it was investing in and reforming prisons. Mr Hardwick told the Victoria Derbyshire programme: "The deterioration isn't just bad for prisoners, it's bad for the communities into which they'll return because not enough has been done to stop them committing more crime." He said the deterioration was due to a combination of issues and the reasons had changed during his time in the role. "You've got too many prisoners, not enough staff, the men who are there now are more likely to be there for more violent offences, serving longer [sentences]. "And particularly in the past year or two there's been a surge in the availability of drugs, particularly so-called legal highs and that then leads to bullying and debt, and that's created much worse conditions." He said there were lots of ways the drugs got into prisons, over walls, from prisoners, during visits, or through corrupt staff. "I was in a prison the other day, and this was quite unusual, there were so many prisoners under the influence that the worst - and it is dangerous, it kills people - they were taking to the hospital, the health centre, but the guys who were less badly affected they were leaving other prisoners to mind and look after," he said. "I walked round and saw these guys who were obviously out of it." Mr Hardwick said sometimes there were "simply not enough staff". "Sometimes I will go on to a wing and want to talk to someone about it and you can't find a member of staff to talk to." Earlier this month, Justice Secretary Michael Gove announced that Victorian prisons would be closed and replaced with nine new establishments in England and Wales by 2020. Chancellor George Osborne confirmed the closure of Holloway women's prison in London in the Spending Review on Wednesday. Mr Hardwick said he was encouraged that the government was "finally listening to what we are saying," but that they "had to deliver". A Ministry of Justice spokesman said prisons needed reform. "It is only through more effective rehabilitation that we will reduce reoffending, cut crime and improve public safety. "That is why we are investing in a modern prison estate, where governors are empowered to run prisons in the way they think best, and prisoners are given a chance to work or learn." The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:15 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel. Burnt-out tyres, broken glass and concrete blocks littered the neighbourhood's only tarmac road, and an armoured truck was parked outside the prison itself. Similar trucks have been patrolling the streets of the capital for most of this week, with their turret-mounted machine guns hidden under protective bags. This time, the weapon was gleaming in the sun. "There have been killings and looting, young men have died and a bakery was ransacked," angry residents shouted. When asked who had committed those crimes, they answered in a chorus: "Soldiers, policemen!" An officer heading one of the police squads waved the BBC car through and played down the violence. "We're only using plastic bullets," he said. The head of the national police, Charles Bisengimana, has acknowledged that his force had killed at least four people in Kinshasa since the presidential result was announced on Friday afternoon - three looters and one woman hit by a stray bullet. The UN-sponsored station Radio Okapi put the death toll at six in the capital. "We only use non-lethal equipment to disperse protest marches, but policemen who protect buildings or people had to use weapons," Gen Bisengimana said. He also warned that armed police would be used against "armed groups linked to the opposition" after one policeman was shot dead on Thursday and another one injured by gunfire on Saturday. The situation was under control, he added. More reports of violence came from the central city of Mbuji-Mayi, where official tallies show that 97% of voters supported the opposition candidate Etienne Tshisekedi. The president of the local civil society committee said one man had died there and members of the security forces had arrested numerous people or stolen their belongings. Another civil society leader, Willy Wabo, was murdered overnight in North Kivu province, in the east of the country. A local journalist said Mr Wabo had vigorously denounced irregularities in the electoral process. The Kinshasa voters who have been burning tyres and breaking down electricity poles on Saturday are also putting the election result in doubt. "We are really disappointed. We voted for Tshisekedi, now we are told it's Kabila. That's why we are angry," a local woman said. Election observers are now scrutinising the detailed results posted by the electoral commission on its website following the announcement of President Kabila's re-election on Friday evening. Several electoral observation missions, including the Carter Centre, are expected to issue reports in the coming days on the credibility of the paper trail from each of the 63,000 polling stations to the final tally. Already, some trends from the raw data are striking: The number of polling stations where the results were discarded by the electoral commission because of electoral violence or logistical problems is consistently higher in areas where the opposition vote was high. For example, nearly one in five polling stations in Kinshasa was not included in the election result, compared to less than 1% in Katanga. Two-thirds of Kinshasa voters chose Mr Tshisekedi, while 90% of those in Katanga voted for Mr Kabila. In Mr Kabila's home village of Manono, more voters cast their ballots than were registered on the list, resulting in a turnout rate of 100.14%. According to official figures, only one person in that entire constituency voted for Mr Tshisekedi. 24 January 2017 Last updated at 14:28 GMT The Gambian singer himself then got involved in spraying graffiti urging Yahya Jammeh, who went into exile in Equatorial Guinea over the weekend, to stand down as president after losing elections in December. Andreas Schleicher said international evidence suggested that selection was not linked to improving schools. He said bright pupils in England were not getting enough opportunities, but grammar school tests were not reliable. "Any kind of one-off test is likely to favour social background over true academic potential," he said. Education Secretary Justine Greening has published plans calling for more selective schools in England, and a Department for Education spokesman said any new grammars would "prioritise the admission of disadvantaged pupils". Mr Schleicher, the think tank's education director, was presenting the OECD's annual report comparing education systems across the industrialised world. He said there was no relationship between increasing selection and how well school systems performed. And countries such as Germany and Switzerland, where selection was widely used, were not more likely to produce high-achieving students. "You might expect that where you have more grammar schools, you will have more of the really top students, that's not what we've seen," said Mr Schleicher. The OECD education expert said access to selective schools was often unfairly biased towards wealthier families - and that contradicted the aim of stretching the most talented. "I can see the case for introducing more meritocracy in the school system. Bright students here don't always have the educational opportunities they deserve," said Mr Schleicher. "But what happens in most European systems is that academic selection becomes social selection. "Schools are very good at selecting students by their social background, but they're not very good at selecting students by their academic potential." When admission to school was based on a one-off test, he said, "wealthy parents will find a way through it". But there were Asian school systems, such as Singapore and Hong Kong, that seemed to be more effective in how they selected pupils. "They are selective, but they seem to be very good at figuring out how good students really are," said Mr Schleicher. But focusing on grammars and selection was not the way to raise standards. "I think the importance of grammar schools is dramatically overplayed," he said. And there should be more investment for "more schools that are more demanding and more rigorous". A Department for Education spokesman said: "We know that grammar schools provide a good education for their disadvantaged pupils, and we want more pupils from lower-income backgrounds to benefit from that." "We are clear that relaxing restrictions on selective education can and should be to the betterment, not at the expense, of other local schools." The annual OECD report highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the UK's education systems. It showed that by international standards, the children of migrants did very well - and often better than those who were not migrants. The report says that in the UK, children born to parents born overseas were more likely to go to university than those with native-born parents. Mr Schleicher suggested that this could reflect "higher levels of motivation" among migrants, who saw education as a "way of moving up the ladder". In contrast, he said, British-born families were more likely to face "downward mobility" in their levels of education. The bigger international picture, said Mr Schleicher, was of a "relentless" increase in the numbers going to university, with entry rates of 60% and above becoming increasingly common. Highlights from this year's OECD education report for the UK include: The 25-year-old previously played in the top flight with Worcester Warriors, and ended last season with the Southern Kings in Super Rugby. Van der Sluys started just one competitive match for the Warriors and returned to South Africa in March. "I can't ask for a better club to join. I am looking forward to (this new challenge)," he told the club website. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has updated its calculations, based on the latest official forecasts. Pro-Union campaigners have welcomed the analysis. But those backing independence insisted Scotland's finances would be similar to or even stronger than the UK's. The referendum on Scottish independence will be held on 18 September, when voters will be asked the yes/no question: "Should Scotland be an independent country? The IFS has produced two new reports on the financial impact of leaving the UK. The think tank has previously suggested Scotland would see a budget deficit larger than the rest of the UK and would face spending cuts and increased taxes. In March, however, it said it had revised its more cautious fiscal forecast because the UK economy was growing more quickly than previously thought. Based on the latest downgraded forecasts on North Sea oil revenues by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility, the IFS has now predicted a slightly weaker position with a fiscal gap of £8.6bn in the first year of independence. By 2019, when the rest of the UK is due to have a slight budget surplus, the think tank said Scotland would remain with a hole in its finances. The IFS said: "If an independent Scotland wanted to achieve a sustainable medium and long-term fiscal position, further tax increases and/or spending cuts would likely be needed after independence." The think tank's report on the fiscal context of the Scottish government's independence white paper added: "The spending cuts and tax rises outlined do not look to be enough to pay for all of the proposed giveaways. "This does not mean such a package of reforms is infeasible. But, with a background of budget deficits, enacting these measures looks like it would require bigger cuts to other public services or benefits, or other tax rises, if the government of an independent Scotland were to ensure that its public finances were not adversely affected and remained sustainable." The Scottish government pointed to the fact the IFS calculations were based on declining oil revenues. It said "record investment" in the oil and gas industry would boost future production. A spokesman added: "Scotland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, more prosperous per head than France, Japan and the UK, but we need the powers of independence to enable that wealth to be shared and to build a fairer society. "An independent Scotland's finances in 2016-17 will be similar to, or stronger than, both the UK and the G7 industrialised countries as a whole, and even on the IFS's projections, Scotland's public finance balance sheet in the first year of independence will be healthier than the UK's was in the most recent financial year. "And as the IFS report notes, Scottish taxpayers paid £789 more per head than the UK in 2012-13, demonstrating the huge contribution that Scottish taxpayers make to the UK economy - with more tax per head paid by Scotland than the rest of the UK for every one of the last 33 years." Unionist politicians welcomed the latest IFS analysis. Chief Secretary to the UK Treasury Danny Alexander described it as "yet another independent report which leaves the Scottish government increasingly isolated". He added: "In addition to the CPPR, Citigroup and others, it shows that an independent Scotland would have a larger deficit than the UK, meaning deeper cuts or tax rises than if Scotland stayed part of the UK. "It highlights the long-term challenge of declining oil revenues, uncosted policies and an ageing population that I set out in our fiscal analysis last week. "This analysis showed that every person in Scotland is £1,400 a year better off as part of the UK." Sir John will use a speech in the Midlands to say a Labour-SNP government would mean families paying with "higher taxes, more debts and fewer jobs". He will say a future Labour government would be subjected to a "daily dose of blackmail" from the nationalists. But Ed Miliband told the BBC "that ain't going to happen". With 16 days to polling day, Sir John will say that, in practice, Mr Miliband would be forced to agree to the nationalists' demands or face the collapse of his government. "If Labour were to accept an offer of support from the SNP, it could put the country on course to a government held to ransom on a vote-by-vote basis," he is expected to say. "Labour would be in hock to a party that - slowly but surely - will push them ever further to the left. And who would pay the price for this? We all would. We would all pay for the SNP's ransom in our daily lives - through higher taxes, fewer jobs, and more and more debt. "This is a recipe for mayhem. At the very moment our country needs a strong and stable government, we risk a weak and unstable one - pushed to the left by its allies, and open to a daily dose of political blackmail." But interviewed by Evan Davis on the BBC, Mr Miliband rejected claims that the SNP would "call the shots" in the event of a hung parliament. "That ain't going to happen; that ain't going to happen," he said. In other election news: What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election? Policy guide: Where the parties stand Launching her party's manifesto in Edinburgh on Monday, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon sought to allay the fears of some English voters, insisting they would act "responsibly and constructively" in the interests of the whole of the UK. Recent polls all point towards there being a hung parliament after 7 May, and suggest the SNP could be the third largest party and crucially hold the balance of power. As a consequence of this, the "threat" of an SNP link-up with Labour has emerged as a major Conservative line of attack in the election campaign. But senior Tory peer Lord Forsyth has suggested that this tactic of building up the SNP as a way of damaging the Labour party in Scotland could be playing a "short term and dangerous" game that threatens the future of the UK. "We've had the dilemma for Conservatives, which is they want to be the largest party at Westminster and therefore some see the fact that the nationalists are going to take seats in Scotland will be helpful," he told the Guardian. "But that is a short-term and dangerous view which threatens the integrity of our country." But despite this Sir John Major will say that the SNP's "driving ambition" is an independent Scotland, and it would use its position to demand policies that favour Scotland at the expense of the rest of the UK. "That is no way to run a country. And nor is it remotely fair to England, Wales and Northern Ireland," he will say. Meanwhile, former Labour minister and London mayoral contender David Lammy told ITV that his party could "do business" with the SNP after the election. Food Utopia said it planned to end production at Avana Bakeries in Rogerstone by the end of January. The firm said the factory, which also cut hundreds of workers in 2014, had been running at a loss and it was "financially unsustainable". The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union said a 45-day consultation with staff would start on Thursday. It said there was a cake production surplus in the country and people were not eating as many baked goods as they used to. Food Utopia said the site had been "unable to make sufficient progress in an increasingly competitive market". The firm said it would explore all options and seek as much external support as possible as it began discussions about the future of the bakery. Media playback is not supported on this device Dalman also denied speculation the club is being put into shape to be sold. "Anybody who has an ounce of intellect in understanding numbers knows there are no assets which you are going to be stripping off," Dalman said. "This club loses a double digit number (millions) a year. That is public knowledge, so what are you going to do? Strip what?" Dalman added: "People should really be a bit more considerate than that." He insisted that the Championship club is being run in a "healthy" manner. "Without Vincent, we definitely would not exist," Dalman said. "Without him pumping money in every year in double digits (millions), this club would not exist. "So unfortunately or fortunately - depending how you want to look on this - we are dependent on him." Dalman was speaking for the first time since the transfer window closed on the last day of August. On deadline day, Cardiff sold goalkeeper David Marshall to Hull City for a fee which could rise to £5m, and brought in former England striker Rickie Lambert from West Bromwich Albion. Dalman explained the club were operating at the maximum loss - £13m per year - allowed by the Football League, to avoid a repeat of the transfer embargo for breaking Financial Fair Play rules, to which the club were subject last season. He said: "Our profit and loss is not the healthiest in the world but we are very professional and we are very focused on that. So we had to work within our means… we need to get a healthy club. To get a healthy club you have to run it like a business. "It's a business that will always lose money for you. We know that. It's a degree of how much money you can lose and we operate it quite prudently under that. "That does not mean to say our ambition today is any less than it was two or three years ago. I just believe we are running this club on a much more professional basis than we have done for a long time." Dalman also rejected speculation the club is being put into a better state to sell it. "I am amazed where these stories have come from - certainly no-one has made a bid to me," he said. "If they have done it to somebody else, I don't know. "That is not our intention, not our objective. It's an agenda that has never been discussed and if you could tell me who these people are who are interested, put them in in touch with me. I'll have a word with them." Dalman said the commitment of Tan, who became Cardiff owner in 2010, was still as strong as ever, but that his business commitments prevented him from attending games. He said: "Asia has not been the easiest market at the moment, he is spending a lot of time on his business. He is trying to make money there to pay for the losses here. His commitment has not changed." The Cardiff chairman also sought to reassure Bluebirds fans who have voiced concerns at the club's transfer policy and their early season form. ''I think the message really is we need you with us," Dalman said. "This is for you but we need you with us behind the team. I think in the last two years we have given you a lot to worry about I accept that and I like to think we have rectified a lot of things. "This interview is all about football and direction of the club not all about political and legal issues which is great from my perspective. "The message to the fans is come behind the team. This is Wales, this is Cardiff, Cardiff is the capital and we represent that capital and we are trying to implement that philosophy on the pitch as well as within the club and we'd love to have everybody on board.'' Meanwhile, the club insist they are on course to be debt free by 2021 and Tan's plans to convert debt into equity are progressing.

Two men have already appeared in court accused of murdering Gary Clampett, 39, in Fernie Place early on Sunday. Police Scotland said three men - aged 36, 44 and 46 - were now also facing charges. They were expected to appear at Peterhead Sheriff Court later on Wednesday. Emergency services were called to Fernie Place in the early hours of Sunday but Mr Clampett was pronounced dead at the scene. On Tuesday Barry Martin, 31, and Joseph Martin, 39, both from Fraserburgh, appeared in court charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder. They made no plea and were remanded in custody. Det Insp Gary Winter of the Major Investigation Team, who is leading the inquiry, said: "Our inquiries are continuing and a police presence will remain in the area at this time. I would urge anyone who has information which could assist in our investigation to contact police." Officers spoke to dozens of people at the weekend in Bridge of Weir, where the body of Darryl Fitch was found. The 43-year-old, from Paisley, was found in Locher Water. It is believed he had been camping or fishing with a 37-year-old male friend in the area when he died. The other man was treated in hospital. That moment on that sunny afternoon, when the exhausted figure in green and white managed to find the energy to lift the European Cup above his head, heralded the fact that a bunch of local lads, of whom little was known outside their own community, had brought down the evil empire of catenaccio football by beating favourites Inter Milan 2-1. The achievement is now being given visible permanence in the east-end of Glasgow, just outside Celtic Park, where it will prove to be a distraction to drivers on the busy London Road but to those who treasure the club's history, a place of reverence amidst the hubbub of urban life. Media playback is not supported on this device It will also revive a treasure of personal memories surrounding the man who in working with me at the BBC, as co-commentator on a wide range of games, including the World Cup in Spain in 1982, became a close friend. It will also remind me of that cup presentation which took place just in front of our commentary position in the Estadio Nacional. I could see the strain on Billy's face: there was no sense of euphoria, just a weariness, as if he was glad it was all over. After all, he had tried to fight his way through the crowds and had given up, and had to be transported around the stadium to climb up a back entrance to the rostrum. It was only when he lifted the cup with a triumphant flourish that you felt the touch of the silverware had re-energised him. The Force was now with him. Became the first British man to lift the European Cup when Celtic won in 1967. Earned 29 Scotland caps, going on to have two spells as manager of Celtic. Won 30 domestic trophies as player and manager, including Celtic's run of nine successive league titles. His bronze statue will be situated in the grounds around Celtic Park. The statue will be near those of club founder Brother Walfrid, Jock Stein and McNeill's former team-mate Jimmy Johnstone. "I am sure Saturday will be a fantastic day for myself and my family, if somewhat emotional," says McNeill, who will be at the unveiling. Years later I went to his house to interview him before an Old Firm cup final. I asked if we could film his European Cup winners' medal? He had to ask his wife Liz where it was. After some searching they discovered that in fact his daughter was outside in the garden playing with friends and using all his medals as currency, playing at shopping. There was something in that tableau that revealed a lot about the man. For sure he gave the impression of arrogance at times on the field as he strode out onto the pitch, chest thrust out, almost as if he were staking a territorial imperative, and dare anyone come near him. In fact, his head was never in the clouds. He put his triumphs behind him like a man puts his tools away before clocking-off. Of course, he treasured his memories but in all the time I had with him it was never boastful, never self-indulgent, never crowing. Sometimes you had to drag memories out of him and when you succeeded you were listening to an eloquent raconteur. But letting his kids play with his medals with friends? How more natural and down-to earth could you be in allowing domesticity to trump days of glory? He has always been easy to interview. The day he told me he was retiring from playing he gave me a chat that was filled unavoidably with nostalgia. It was after the winning Scottish Cup final against Airdrie in 1975. It was devoid of mawkish sentiment, just a brief recounting of his career and looking forward to new challenges, whatever they might have been in his mind. It was then I asked him if he would be interested in some broadcasting. He said he had other things in mind at the time and shortly afterwards we realised he wanted to enter management. I certainly admit to having had some verbal clashes with him when he entered that new domain, firstly with Clyde, then Aberdeen, then Celtic. But they never persisted, never running sores, which frankly I experienced with some others. It was when he was manager with Aberdeen that I realised how much he would have wanted to return to Celtic. We were standing at the tunnel-mouth at Hampden about 45 minutes before Aberdeen played Rangers in the Scottish Cup final. And, as he looked around at the vast Rangers support, he admitted to me that some of his players in his dressing-room were nervous wrecks, almost as if he were prophesying the outcome and unable to come to terms with this culture shock for him, being accustomed to defiance in a dressing-room on Old Firm finals. He went to Celtic after that defeat at Hampden and when eventually he passed through Celtic twice and after managerial stints in England, I thought I had stuck gold when I convinced him to join me as co-commentator and pundit at the BBC. He was always well prepared for matches. In short, he knew what he was talking about and although we sometimes disagreed about certain matters we always hoped that we struck the right tone between us. This was especially so in the World Cup in Spain in 1982. He was with me on the platform when Jimmy Hill made his infamous "toe-poke" description of Davy Narey's strike against Brazil in Seville. He almost swallowed his microphone. We went to dinner with Hill the night after and Billy took his revenge. Instead of bringing that subject up he instead made play of the fact that Hill was complaining that he had not been included in the recent Queen's Honours list. "You deserved a Knighthood, Jimmy and I'm going to complain about that." He said that with such heavy irony that it got through to Hill that he just been toe-poked himself and shut up thereafter. Several nights later he was beside me in Malaga for Scotland's last game in the group against the then Soviet Union, Scotland required a win to progress for the first time to the knock-out stages. After a Willie Miller-Alan Hansen blunder which allowed the opponents to score, two Soviets, perhaps NKVD secret-service for all we knew, in front of us, got so excited they kept blocking our view of the game which added to our exasperation as we were feeling Scotland had blown it again. I decided to remonstrate and eventually punched one of them in the back having tapped him previously without result. He then stood up. He was about 10ft tall and built like Dumbarton Rock; I noticed his fists were clenched. I turned to Billy to see if together we could cope with Goliath. He, however, had slid under his seat, laughing helplessly. Thus, I became aware his tactical nous went far beyond football matters. We survived and through the years he kept reminding me of the day I thought I was Rocky. His humour stems from his working-class origins in and around Bellshill, and how it can help allay any fears or anxieties. So, when I look at the statue to be unveiled on Saturday, I will recall a lifetime relationship which I feel privileged to have enjoyed. Clifford Whittaker, 88, from Colchester, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was eight years old. He was awarded the medal by the charity Diabetes UK which described him as "an inspiration". "My diabetes has never stopped me doing anything," said Mr Whittaker, adding he had only stopped driving two years ago. If poorly managed or left untreated, diabetes can lead to blindness or amputations. Mr Whittaker said he had managed to live with the condition for so long thanks to his late wife Doreen, to whom he was married for 60 years. The couple met while working in a sweet shop in Hertfordshire. He said: "Doreen passed away six years ago. But she used to look after me very well and make sure I was eating properly and generally looking after myself," said Mr Whittaker. 300,000 people in the UK have Type 1 diabetes 10% of all diabeties is Type 1 - where the pancreas doesn't produce any insulin 40 Most people are diagnosed in their childhood and before they reach the age of 40 "My diabetes has never stopped me doing anything and people have always been very kind. I worked in the wages department of a company until I retired in my 60s." Sharon Robert, of Diabetes UK said: "He is an inspiration, and has really shown that through managing your diabetes well you can live a long and healthy life". Mr Whittaker was given an HG Wells medal which is awarded to people who have lived with the condition for 80 years. Novelist HG Wells co-founded the Diabetic Association - now Diabetes UK - with Dr Robert Lawrence in 1934. They both had the condition. The sides went in level at the interval at 0-8 to 1-5, Ryan Coleman scoring Tyrone's only goal in the 14th minute. Donegal pulled away in the second half however, Michael Langan ending up as their top scorer with seven points. Declan Bonner's charges will play Cavan in the semi-finals on 29 March, with Derry facing Armagh on the same night to secure a place in the 5 April final. Adam Neely, Michael Carroll (2), Stephen McBrearty, Cian Mulligan (2), Jamie Brennan (3), Dara O Baoil and Caolan McGonagle were also on the scoresheet for Donegal. Liam Rafferty (2), Lee Brennan, Michael McKernan, Coleman, Nathan Donnelly, Ben O'Donnell, David Mulgrew and Emmett McNabb were the points scorers for Feargal Logan's men. The sides drew 1-14 to 1-14 in their first meeting last week. The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) has notified Highland Council of its plan to potentially submit a formal planning application for HMP Highland. The proposed site is next to homes built for Scotland's Housing Expo, which was held in 2010. HMP Highland would replace 112-year-old Inverness Prison, also known as Porterfield, near the city centre. The jail is one of the smallest and oldest in Scotland. The 103-prisoner-capacity Victorian-era building has had problems with overcrowding and the SPS said there was no room to expand the site. It has proposed a family help hub and community integration facility for prisoners as part of the new "fit-for-purpose" prison. Milton of Leys is a large southern suburb of Inverness. The area and proposed site has close access to the A9. The housing expo at Balvonie Braes at Milton of Leys was held to promote new designs in housing. Most of the properties were later sold, or rented. SPS announced about seven years ago that it planned to build a new prison in Inverness. In 2010, SPS was told it could not build a new prison on land at the Inverness Campus. The SPS had been in discussion with landowner Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) about constructing the jail at the Beechwood site. HIE said the plan was given serious consideration but it did not have "a strong strategic fit" with its vision. Karen Edwards was joined by about 20 friends and family at the site where Becky Godden-Edwards was discovered. They laid flowers and a white teddy bear in tribute to Miss Godden-Edwards, who would have been 29 on Monday. She had been missing for eight years. Her remains were found in a field in Eastleach by police investigating the murder of 22-year-old Sian O'Callaghan. Taxi driver Christopher Halliwell, 47, of Ashbury Avenue, Swindon, has been charged with the murder of Miss O'Callaghan and is due to appear before Bristol Crown Court on Friday. Officers said at a news conference on Tuesday detectives would be questioning Mr Halliwell as part of their inquiries into Miss Godden-Edwards' disappearance. Mrs Edwards wrote on a card: "When you were born and put into my arms, I cried with joy. "I love you so much. But today I am crying for you, my beautiful girl. I loved you the day you were born and I love you even more today. "I was always there for you, my baby girl, words can't be said about how I feel. Sleep tight my darling. Love Mum and Charlie." As the family paid their respects, they stood together with their arms around one another and hugged each other. They stayed at the field at Baxter's Farm for 15 minutes before driving away. Miss Godden-Edwards' family did not initially report her missing to the police as they thought she was living in the Bristol area. It was not until 2007 they contacted the National Missing Persons Helpline. It was found on waste ground at O'Hanlon Park on Friday. The scene was cordoned off and roads were closed. The army bomb disposal team arrived at about 19:00 local time and made the grenade safe at the scene. A spokesman said the grenade was then "removed to a secure military location and destroyed by controlled explosion". The operation was over by 19:30 and the evidence was handed over to police. Tea party Republicans Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat concocted a false story that Mr Courser had solicited a male sex worker, to make the story of their affair less credible. Mr Courser apologised to a disciplinary panel and pleaded for leniency. The state's House needs a two-thirds majority to expel the politicians. Only three legislators have been removed from office in Michigan's history. The state's House disciplinary committee voted on Thursday to recommend that the full House remove the pair from their positions. Mr Courser and Ms Gamrat have urged the House to censure them instead - an official rebuke that would limit their official activities, but would allow them to remain in office. The allegations stem from a spurious email that Mr Courser asked an aide to send, that claimed he was caught with a male prostitute. The email was sent to party activists in the hope it would make allegations of his and Ms Gamrat's affair sound less credible. For her part, Ms Gamrat claimed that she was aware of the plot, but that she did not know the content of the email before it was sent. The House Business Office's investigation determined that the email itself was likely legal, but nonetheless unethical. The investigation ultimately alleged dishonesty and wrongdoing. The bans are suspended for two years and both clubs have also been fined 100,000 euros (£83,800). The tie at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, which ended 2-1 to Lyon, kicked off 45 minutes late. The return leg in Turkey takes place on Thursday (20:05 BST). A Uefa statement said the charges against Lyon related to crowd disturbances, setting off of fireworks, blocked stairways, insufficient organisation and field invasion by supporters after their second goal. The charges against Besiktas related to crowd disturbances, setting off of fireworks and the throwing of objects. Denis and Aideen Jones faced charges of cruelty against two boys between the mid-1970s and 1980 at a north Wales care home. A Chester Crown Court jury unanimously cleared the couple, from East Sussex. The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the couple had been subject to a "thorough and ethical investigation". The couple had spent more than two-and-a-half years on bail since being arrested in August 2013 under the NCA's Operation Pallial. It was claimed Mr Jones, 66, took one boy into an office and threw chairs at him while encouraged by Mrs Jones, 63. The couple said the main allegation against them related to 1973 and 1974 when the accuser was aged nine or 10, but during the nine-day trial, jurors heard they did not start working in north Wales until 1975. "We spent two-and-a-half years of not being able to clear our names and not being able to talk about it," said Mrs Jones, who was chief executive of Southdown Housing Association, based in Lewes at the time of her arrest. "On alleged victims' sites on Facebook and Twitter, people seem to feel they can talk about anything even if it's not factual or just. That was quite distressing." Mrs Jones was awarded an OBE in 2014 for her services to people with learning disabilities. Source: Key investigations into historical abuse At the time of their arrest, Mr Jones was a national research officer for the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass). They have both now lost their jobs and have used their life savings on their £106,000 legal costs. Mr Jones called for a limit to the length of time people spend on bail and said people accused of crimes should be given anonymity until proven guilty. "It's had an impact on our health, with the worry and stress of it all," said his wife. "We have seen celebrities... falsely accused but there are hundreds of people in our position." Mr Jones said it would be hard to return to normality now the case is over. "We have got to accept that we are going to go through a post-traumatic stress phase," he said. "It has felt like two-and-a-half years of our lives have been put on hold and our plans for the future destroyed." The NCA said it accepted the jury's decisions. "We would like to thank all those who came forward and provided information or who gave evidence at the trial," it said in a statement. "This was a thorough and ethical investigation. "It was independently reviewed by the Crown Prosecution Service who decided that there was sufficient evidence to be heard by a jury. "Channels are available if Mr or Mrs Jones wish to make any formal complaint." Locks James Gaskell and Will Rowlands, as well as props Jake Cooper-Woolley, Alex Lundberg and Simon McIntyre, have agreed undisclosed-length extensions. "We're delighted to extend the deals," said director of rugby Dai Young. "They all deserve their new contracts after impressing again this season." Young added: "It's been a couple of years of change at Wasps and, with the move of the training ground and playing staff to Coventry next season, we're really pleased another five players have bought into the vision and are enjoying the direction the club is moving in." Wasps are due to complete their move to Coventry this summer, when they plan to move their current training base from west London, at the Twyford Avenue sports ground in Acton - to Binley Woods, currently the home of Broadstreet RFC. They have so far continued to remain based in London since first making the Ricoh Arena their matchday home in December 2014. Wasps backs coach Lee Blackett, who arrived from Rotherham last summer, has also signed a new contract, tying him to the club until at least 2019. England Saxons tight-head prop Cooper-Woolley has made 68 appearances since signing from Cardiff Blues in 2013. Gaskell, who has made 44 appearances since signing from Sale in 2014, missed the final few weeks of the season with a foot injury. Loose-head prop McIntyre also moved from Sale in 2011, since when he has scored five tries in 105 appearances. Under-20s prop Lundberg signs his first senior contract after spending this season on loan at Bedford, helping them to the Championship play-offs. Wasps Academy graduate Rowlands spent the early part of the season on loan with Jersey, before returning to make seven Wasps appearances. Richard Wood died on 16 February following the crash in on A4113 Bridge Street in Knighton. His family said he liked to go for his "constitutional" walk from his care home to a bench he liked to sit on or to get a newspaper. They said he was "a regular figure on that route... waving to the folk who knew him and with a word for everyone". Mr Wood moved to the area in the early 1970s and was a keen photographer and painter of the surrounding countryside. In a tribute, his family said: "Anyone who knew him will miss his knowledge of music, the arts, history and current affairs. "Renowned for his cheery, gentlemanly and optimistic nature, he will be sadly missed by his family, friends and the many people in the community who knew him." The virus, which is transmitted primarily through mosquitoes, has spread rapidly through the Americas. It has been linked to a condition called microcephaly, in which babies are born with underdeveloped brains. The money will go to mosquito control efforts and vaccine research programmes among other initiatives. The White House says that some of the money will go towards "enhancing the ability of Zika-affected countries to better combat mosquitoes and control transmission" of the virus. The virus is currently being transmitted to new patients in 26 countries in the Americas, according to the Pan American Health Organization. Additionally, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has confirmed 50 cases of the virus in the US among people who had travelled to affected regions and returned to the US. There is a growing fear that as warmer months approach in the northern hemisphere and mosquitoes become active, local transmission could become a problem - especially in the southern US. Last week, the first case of locally transmitted Zika was reported in Dallas, Texas. Notably, the virus was spread in this case through sexual contact, not a mosquito bite. The virus has had a considerable impact in Brazil, which has seen a spike in microcephaly cases - totalling around 4,000 in recent months, stirring fears ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympics. The World Health Organization declared an emergency over the cases last week, prompting research and aid to be fast-tracked. The Reuters news agency reported that the US Olympic Committee has told its athletes and staff who are concerned about the virus to consider skipping the games. However, the virus did not keep revellers home from Carnival in Rio de Janeiro over the weekend - some 70,000 fans were said to have been in attendance. Still, fears remain on the international stage. Across the Atlantic, the European Medicines Agency - Europe's drugs regulator - has said it had established a task force of experts to advise drug companies which are working on vaccines and medicines against the virus. "Early and regular interaction with the agency can significantly speed up the development of medicines," the group said in a statement. Graham Booker, 68, flew at retired policeman Richard Hadley like "a mad bull" during the assault in Sidmouth, Devon, last October, magistrates heard. It happened after Booker saw Mr Hadley in an alleyway between Sidmouth Methodist Church and his home. Booker was convicted of assault after a trial at Exeter Magistrates' Court. The court heard how Mr Hadley had been using a wrench to remove some nuts from a metal gate in the alleyway, when Booker came out of the church's fire exit. Mr Hadley said Booker raced towards him, shoved him to the ground and kicked him. He said: "I went sprawling on the floor. My nose hit the ground. It was streaming blood. I lost a tooth. I must have been knocked out for a few seconds. Booker was standing over me and kicked me." The victim, who owns the Hair Studio next to the church, said he had the right to use the alleyway to access the rear of the property, which the church disputes. Mr Hadley said he had had used the alleyway for 30 years and it was the only way into his "landlocked" property. In court he branded the church an "absolute disgrace". Booker, of Windsor Mead, Sidmouth, claimed he did not kick Mr Hadley but was kicking away the wrench and said he had acted in self defence. He was released on bail and will be sentenced at a later date. A spokesman for Sidmouth Methodist Church said: "We are deeply saddened by the situation and hope that all those concerned can soon put this unfortunate matter behind them and move forward in reconciling relationships within the community." The 28-year-old Argentine had 41.33% of the vote, with Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo (27.76%) second and Barca's Neymar (7.86%) third. Either Messi or Ronaldo, who became a three-time winner last year, have won the past eight awards. United States midfielder Carli Lloyd, who scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final, won the women's award. England coach Mark Sampson was beaten to the women's football coach of the year award by USA boss Jill Ellis, who was born in Portsmouth. Lionel Messi extended his record haul of world player of the year awards with his fifth after winning the treble - La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League - with Barcelona in 2014-15. Portugal captain Ronaldo, 30, scored 57 goals in as many games in 2015 - including a record 16 in the Champions League - but that was not enough to win him Ballon d'Or number four. Barcelona striker Neymar, 23, was the first Brazilian to finish in the top three since Kaka won the 2007 award. He scored 45 goals in 62 games and is joint top scorer in this season's La Liga with 15, level with team-mate Luis Suarez. "It's a very special moment for me to be back here on this stage, winning again another Ballon d'Or after seeing Cristiano win it," Messi said. "It's incredible that it's my fifth, much more than anything I would have dreamed of as a kid." USA's World Cup-winning midfielder Carli Lloyd, 33, won the women's world player of the year award. She scored a hat-trick in the final against Japan, including a sensational strike from the halfway line, and earned the Golden Ball for best player in the tournament. Former Germany striker Celia Sasic finished second despite retiring halfway through 2015 at the age of 27. She was top scorer in the World Cup with six goals and won the Champions League with Frankfurt. Japan midfielder Aya Miyama, 30, captained her country to the World Cup final, where they lost to the USA. She was third. None of the shortlisted trio had won the award before. Lloyd said: "It has been a dream ever since I started with the national team. Keep your dreams and just go after them." Real Madrid had as many players as Barcelona - four - in the world team of the year despite not winning a trophy. Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was the Bundesliga's only representative, while Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and Paris St-Germain's Thiago Silva represented Serie A and Ligue 1 respectively. The Premier League was the only one of Europe's top five leagues not to have anyone in the team. Barcelona coach Luis Enrique won the world coach of the year award after leading his side to five of the six trophies on offer in 2015, including the Champions League, La Liga and the Copa del Rey. He beat Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola, who was second, and Chile's Copa America-winning coach Jorge Sampaoli to the award. United States coach Jill Ellis was named women's football world coach of the year after leading her country to World Cup glory in the summer. England coach Mark Sampson finished third with 10.68% of the vote after their third-place finish in Canada. Second was Japan coach Norio Sasaki, whose side beat England in the semi-finals, but lost to USA in the final. "It is a true honour," said 49-year-old Ellis, who moved to the US in 1981. "To Fifa, to our own federation, thank you for your belief, your vision and your investment in women's football." Atletico Goianiense's Wendell Lira won the goal of the year award for his overhead kick against Goianesia in Brazil's Goiano state league. Messi's run from halfway and finish in the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao was second, with Roma full-back Alessandro Florenzi's 55-yard goal against Barca third. Former Leeds and South Africa captain Lucas Radebe announced the winner of this year's fair play award. That went to every football club and organisation supporting refugees. Journalists, national team coaches and captains vote for their top three in all categories, apart from the Puskas and fair play ones. They select their first, second and third choice for each award, with five, three and one points given to each place respectively. The winner is the person with the most points. In the event of a tie, it goes to the player or coach with the most first places. The Puskas award, for the "most beautiful goal" of 2015, is voted for by users of the Fifa and France Football websites. The three-month trial will operate at weekends at 15 Metrolink stops on Fridays and Saturday nights. The trial is being introduced at car parks with 30 or more spaces so customers can still find a space at smaller car parks, Transport for Greater Manchester said. At the moment, drivers face a £60 fine if they park overnight. Motorists will have to pick up their cars before noon the following day. The 32-year-old posted a picture of a letter sent to him on Twitter which warned him to leave France at the end of the season or face a grisly end. The letter is addressed to Barton at Marseille's training ground, La Commanderie. He spent almost the entire 2012-13 season in Ligue 1 with the south-coast club. Barton jokingly refers to the letter, written in broken English, as "fan mail". The undated, typed letter reads: "A little friendly advice: as soon as you finish your season in your current club, I advice you to leave France immediatly [sic]. "In fact, if you're not left France before June 1st, I will come to you specially Marseille smash your head shots baseball bat." It goes on to describe how Barton's body will be found, using expletives. A name and address for the purported sender is included on the letter, which is signed. The footballer later tweeted: "Not sure what's more offensive, the grammar or the intent?" He also posted a Google Maps image of the Paris address given on the letter, writing next to the picture of a block of flats: "By the way his gaff looks nice..." The one-cap England midfielder left France following his one season at Marseille and has returned to favour at QPR. He had previously been marginalised following his conduct and dismissal in the final game of the 2011-12 season at Manchester City, where he was sent off and subsequently received a 12-match ban. Sean Raggett's header put Lincoln 1-0 up and forced extra time with the aggregate score level at 2-2, but Scott Fenwick converted a penalty in the 104th minute to seal York's victory. York will play Macclesfield at Wembley after the Silkmen beat Tranmere 1-0 to complete a 2-1 win on aggregate. Ollie Norburn's powerful strike in the 68th minute ensured the away win. York, who are 22nd in the National League - 39 points behind Lincoln - came into the away leg of the semi-final with a 2-1 lead thanks to goals from Vadaine Oliver and Adriano Moke at Bootham Crescent. But Lincoln, fresh from a run to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, were the favourites and took the lead in the 64th minute when Raggett converted from Nathan Arnold's corner. That goal took the game to extra time, but it was Fenwick, who came on as a substitute at the start of the extended period, who took his chance, beating goalkeeper Paul Farman after Terry Hawkridge handled Hamza Bencherif's shot. Macclesfield, who sit ninth in the National League, travelled to Prenton Park to face third-placed Tranmere with things all square following a 1-1 draw last Saturday. And having scored in the first leg, it was Norburn who proved the difference for the away side, taking down Steve McNulty's long ball to beat goalkeeper Scott Davies minutes after rattling the crossbar. York and Macclesfield can look forward to the final on 21 May at Wembley, while Lincoln and Tranmere will now turn their full attention to achieving promotion from the National League. These are clusters of galaxies that are gravitationally bound to each other and which measure tens of millions of light-years across. Astronomers say the Planck observatory has made more than 20 detections that are brand new to science. The European Space Agency telescope has also confirmed the existence of a further 169 galaxy clusters. Follow-up studies have hinted at the great scale of these structures. "The clusters contain up to a hundred galaxies, and each galaxy has a billion stars," said Dr Nabila Aghanim of the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale in Orsay, France. The clusters, sighted in all directions, range out to about four billion light-years from Earth. Astronomers are interested in such observations because they say something about the way the Universe is built on the grandest scales - how matter is organised into vast filaments and sheets and separated by great voids. Not only do the clusters contain colossal quantities of visible matter - stars, gas and dust - but they also retain even larger quantities of invisible, and as yet unidentifiable, "dark matter". Planck made the discoveries during its on-going survey of the "oldest light" in the cosmos. This relic radiation from the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago fills the entire sky in the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is referred to famously as the Cosmic Microwave Background, or simply the CMB. Planck's ultra-precise recording of this light should provide remarkable new insights on the age, contents and shape of the Universe. Scientists hope the telescope's imagery can also prove the theory of "inflation", an idea that the cosmos experienced a turbo-charged, faster-than-light-expansion in its first, fleeting moments. But to get a clear view of all this information, scientists must first subtract the light emitted by other astrophysical phenomena shining in the same frequencies. Although regarded as "noise" in the context of Planck's main mission, this "rejected" light is still hugely valuable to scientists who study its sources - including those astronomers interested in mapping galaxy clusters. Dr Aghanim and colleagues found these structures by looking for the so-called Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect in the Planck data. Clusters are surrounded by fantastically hot gas - at many millions of degrees. In these conditions, electrons become detached from atomic nuclei and move around at great speed. About 1% of the particles, or photons, of CMB light moving through these structures will interact with their swarms of hot electrons. This has the effect - the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect - of distorting the CMB in a very characteristic way: it becomes depleted at lower frequencies and boosted at higher frequencies. "It's a great trick," Dr Aghanim told BBC News. "We look for spots on the sky that are less bright than average at low frequencies and then look for spots that are brighter than average at high frequencies, and if these locations match up we have our candidate clusters." The research does not end there, however. The SZ distortions in the Planck data have to be followed up with observations from the likes of Europe's XMM-Newton space telescope. Planck achieves ultra-cold state Satellite prepares to go super-cold XMM, because it is sensitive to X-ray light, can see the emission coming from the hot electrons themselves. It is independent confirmation. Many of the Planck clusters look very disturbed objects, suggesting the telescope may be seeing these structures in the early stages of formation, says Dr Aghanim. Information on all the Planck clusters has been made public as part of the Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC). This is a list of some 15,000 astrophysical phenomena spied by Planck and which, again, are secondary to its main objective of detailing the CMB. "This 'first light' we're looking for is a very faint signal that is on top of a very high level of noise," explained Planck project scientist Dr Jan Tauber. "This noise comes from the rest of the Universe - our galaxy, other galaxies and clusters of galaxies. In order to get to the CMB, we first have to understand everything else because if we cannot get rid of it accurately, we cannot be sure what we're measuring in the early Universe is what we really want to see," he told BBC News. Planck will continue to scan the sky until at least the end of 2011, certainly enough for five-times coverage. The Planck Scientific Consortium will then need some time to analyse all the data and assess its significance. A formal release of fully prepared CMB images and scientific papers is not expected before January 2013. Planck is a flagship mission of Esa. It was launched in May 2009 and sits more than a million km from Earth on its "night side". It carries two instruments that observe the sky across nine frequency bands. The High Frequency Instrument (HFI) operates between 100 and 857 GHz (wavelengths of 3mm to 0.35mm), and the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) operates between 30 and 70 GHz (wavelengths of 10mm to 4mm). Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk More victims were said to be trapped in the rubble of the collapsed two-storey building, which was hit overnight. Most of those killed were policemen and members of the Houthi rebel movement, which the coalition has been bombarding in support of Yemen's government. One report said rebels sometimes used the building as an assembly point. On Sunday morning, a Yemeni journalist was killed in an air strike outside Sanaa. Almigdad Mojalli was targeted by coalition jets while on assignment for Voice of America at the scene of an air strike that killed several civilians last week. At least eight journalists and news media workers have been killed covering the conflict in the past year, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists Air strikes and fighting on the ground in Yemen have killed 5,800 people, about half of them civilians, since the coalition began a military campaign to restore the internationally-recognised government in late March, according to the UN. The already dire humanitarian situation in Yemen has also deteriorated severely, with more than 21 million people - four-fifths of the population - now requiring aid. The 34-year-old victim was set upon by a group who stole his car during the early hours, West Midlands Police said. The man was in his grey BMW with the men in Duddeston Manor Road, Aston, in Birmingham, when they attacked him. He suffered serious head and facial injuries. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Belgian music royalty collecting firm SABAM wanted the social network Netlog to stop users infringing copyright. But the court said the filtering required would contravene rights to freedom of business, personal data and freedom of information. The judgement could have consequences for similar cases across the EU. Netlog, a social network developed by Ghent-based Massive Media NV, says it has more than 95 million members throughout Europe. Michael Gardner, head of the intellectual property practice at law firm Wedlake Bell, said: "The European Court appears to have ruled out the idea that operators of social network sites and ISPs can be forced - at their own expense - to impose blanket monitoring and filtering aimed at stopping infringements." However he added: "The ruling doesn't stop rights owners seeking more limited injunctions against social networking sites or ISPs, but they will have to be more 'proportionate' in scope and effect." The ECJ's decision will be used by courts across the EU where this aspect of European law is in question. SABAM had asked a Belgian court to require that Netlog cease unlawfully making available works from its repertoire and face 1,000-euro (£828) fines for every day it failed to comply. Netlog said SABAM was, in effect, requiring it to filter its content, indiscriminately monitoring all of its users - something they argued was contrary to the EU's E-Commerce Directive. The case was referred to the European Court of Justice to decide the legality of such a filtering system Inits judgement the ECJ ruledthat a system would be a "serious infringement" of Netlog's freedom to conduct its business "since it would require Netlog to install a complicated, costly, permanent computer system at its own expense". But it also said there was a risk of infringing rights to the protection of personal data, as a filtering system would require "the identification, systematic analysis and processing of information connected with the profiles created on the social network". Additionally it might also restrict freedoms to send and receive information, as the system "might not distinguish adequately between unlawful content and lawful content, with the result that its introduction could lead to the blocking of lawful communications". This is the second judgement the court has made in this area involving SABAM. An earlierCourt of Justice ruling in November sided with an ISPwhen it decided against what it said was, in effect, a request that it monitor traffic for illegally copied material. The European Internet Providers Association said this latest ruling was a positive step: "We therefore welcome the greater legal certainties and protection granted by the court which are necessary to guarantee the openness of the internet." The ruling comes amid fierce debate over anti-piracy measures contained in the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (Acta) - an international treaty intended to help protect intellectual property rights. The Open Rights Group, an organisation which opposes Acta, said in a statement: "It's good to see courts promoting our rights by swatting away plans to snoop on people's use of social networks. "It is especially timely because, as seen in agreements like Acta, policymakers everywhere find it much harder to respect our rights when making intellectual property policy." However Acta's supporters argue it is necessary to prevent the widespread infringement of intellectual property rights. The Act stretches to over a hundred pages and includes many additional areas, such as unfair terms and conditions - in other words, surprises in the small print. But claiming for a refund under the new Act is an untested area, particularly through the new Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) providers, and it may not prove quite as easy as the government hoped. However the Act does establish several new principles. If the goods are faulty, and you bought them from a UK-based retailer, you are entitled to ask for them to be repaired - or to get a full refund. The Act says you can now get that refund up to 30 days from purchase. The money must be returned to you within 14 days. Even if you bought the product more than 30 days ago, you are still entitled to a repair or a replacement. The retailer has one chance to make the repair. If you are still unhappy, you have a right to a refund. This right extends to 6 months after the purchase. If you bought a pair of walking boots five months ago, for example, and found they were leaking, you can ask for them to be repaired or replaced. If they are still leaking, you can ask for a full refund. Even after six months, you still have a right to ask for a repair or a replacement. But the retailer now has a right to deduct some money for the use you have had out of the goods. If the product is a car, the retailer can deduct money after just a month. In the longer term there are still protections, but they depend on the kind of product, and the price paid. These protections extend for up to 6 years in England and Wales, and 5 years in Scotland. No. The goods have to be faulty. Many retailers do allow you to change your mind, and will exchange goods if they are in good condition. But this is down to individual shops, and they are not forced to do so by the law. In most cases, buying goods on line is covered by the Distance Selling Regulations, which provide further protections over and above the Consumer Rights Act. But for the first time, digital goods like downloads, films, games, music and ebooks are covered by the legislation. However, if the downloads will not play on your computer or mobile device, you will be entitled to a replacement, but not a refund. This is because of the difficulty of proving that a download does not work. However, the retailer may, in some circumstances, offer a partial refund. They may also stipulate that you need to have certain software to play the film or music. The Act covers second-hand goods, where they are bought from a retailer, not an individual. On a site like Ebay, it would be the individual business that would be liable, rather than the website itself. Second-hand goods bought on the High Street are also covered, but refunds would reflect the lower value of the product. If you download something which carries a virus, and you need to get your computer repaired as a result, you are entitled to compensation. The Act covers all services - from washing machine repairs to facial treatments. The Act says that such services must be delivered "with reasonable care", after consultation with the consumer. If you are unhappy with the service you have received, you can ask the provider to put it right, or give you a refund if you prefer. You can take them to a small claims court, but that is an expensive process. New Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) providers have been set up, which can handle additional products like energy contracts. These services are free to consumers, but are paid for by the retailers. Many retailers have not yet signed up to these schemes, so it may prove difficult to use them.

But since then the council's contractor has on several occasions had to push back the completion date. Highland Council is now awaiting a new date for next year. The local authority said it was "deeply disappointed by this further delay" to the handover of the campus from the contractor. Hub North Scotland is overseeing the construction of the campus by contractor Morrison Construction. The campus is being constructed to replace Wick High School and Pulteneytown and South primaries. It will also have community facilities which will be available to the public. 21 October 2015 Last updated at 08:00 BST Many are trying to escape from countries affected by war such as Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea. Some say they're coming to Europe looking for better opportunities for their children. But some European countries are struggling to look after so many new people. Leah is in Germany for us all this week meeting those affected by the migrant and refugee crisis. She's been finding out what impact the arrival of so many people is having on German kids. The American, 34, won three out of four Grand Slam titles last season. "This is probably the best slam I've played in a year," said Williams, who can match Steffi Graf's Open-era feat. Britain's Jamie Murray is in the men's doubles final, while compatriot Gordon Reid competes in two wheelchair finals. Murray, whose brother Andy plays Novak Djokovic in Sunday's men's singles final, takes on Daniel Nestor and Radek Stepanek alongside new Brazilian partner Bruno Soares. Murray parted ways with Australian John Peers at the end of 2015 after the pair finished as runners-up at both Wimbledon and the US Open. Fellow Scot Reid is attempting to lift the men's singles and doubles title, competing alongside Japanese partner Shingo Kunieda after he plays Belgium's Joachim Gerard earlier in the day. Williams will be the centre of attention, however, as she bids to match Graf's Open-era haul of 22 Grand Slam titles, closing in on Margaret Court's all-time mark of 24. After a tricky first-round encounter against Camila Giorgi, she has been progressed through the draw with a series of emphatic victories, dropping just 17 games and no sets in the next five matches. She beat five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova 6-4 6-1 in the quarter-finals before seeing off fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-0 6-4 to make the final. "Even if I don't win, I really can take away that I've been really consistent and I want to continue that," Williams added. German seventh seed Kerber is playing in her first Grand Slam final, compared to Williams' 26th. The 28-year-old has won just once in six previous meetings - a 6-4 6-4 upset in Cincinnati in 2012 - but believes her status as the underdog and the belief built by a steady climb up the rankings gives her hope. She will be ranked at least fourth in the world after the tournament and will move as high as number two if she wins. "I don't have so much pressure like she has. I know I can lose the match. That's why I'm going out there to try to win it," she said. "I think I grow in the last few years to be a top-10 player. "Now I'm back in the top five. I think I showed everybody that I deserve it. That's a good feeling." The Belfast bantamweight secured a unanimous decision in Sunday's semi-final with a scorecard of 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28. European champion Conlan, 23, has already qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics. Ireland's other two remaining hopefuls, Michael O'Reilly and Joe Ward, will also fight in the semi-finals. Belfast light flyweight Brendan Irvine lost his quarter-final to Joahnys Argilagos on Saturday. Irvine fought well but had no answer to his Cuban opponent's tight defence and scoring punches. The Belfast fighter lost each round 10-9, though one judge did award him the final round as he battled hard against elimination one fight before the medal bouts. They also highlight the fragility of the British government's Brexit timetable, given the Supreme Court deliberations on whether parliament needs to approve the triggering of Article 50. Jean-Jacques Mevel of France's Le Figaro sees Mr Barnier demanding a "change of tone" from Britain, and suspects that the "threat of a hard Brexit is emerging" from an EU "frustrated at the lack of a precise British roadmap". Like many other reporters, he links Mr Barnier's comments with calls by Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch head of the EU finance ministers' Eurogroup, for Britain to "adopt a different attitude" if it wants a "soft" Brexit. Cecile Ducourtieux of France's Le Monde agrees that EU negotiators are frustrated with "Britain's great confusion over Brexit", hence Mr Barnier's warning that "time is running out". Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung sees the EU "forcing the pace" of Britain's exit at a time when Prime Minister Theresa May is already under pressure from anti-Brexit rebels in her own party, and Christian Gouerou of Ouest-France cautions EU leaders that Britain "may not be in a strong position at the moment, but it could be formidable in the actual negotiations". Italy's La Repubblica says Mr Barnier's remarks were an "invitation to Britain both to speed up the process and clarify its position", and that his performance "confirms predictions that Britain will face a pretty tough negotiator".  Maciej Czarnecki of Poland's Gazeta Wyborcza says German Chancellor Angela Merkel's comments to her party conference that Britain could not "cherry pick" the four basic freedoms of the EU were "in the same vein" as Mr Barnier's.  He adds that the 18-month timetable also "puts Britain up against the wall", especially as ministers were counting on at least two years. But Turin's La Stampa says forthcoming elections in France, Germany and The Netherlands means that "many European leaders are worried that the actual negotiations could be reduced to just one year", rather than Mr Barnier's 18 months. Claudi Perez of Spain's El Pais also thinks Mr Barnier gave notice of  a "looming hard Brexit". He deems this understandable as an "easy exit would be tasty bait for openly anti-European parties in next year's three crucial elections in Holland, France - especially France - and Germany".  The Supreme Court hearing is widely reported, with much speculation as to whether it could further delay the Brexit timetable. This is certainly the view of Balazs Bacskai on Hungary's pro-government news website 888.hu. He says the Supreme Court could "endanger Brexit", especially as discipline among Tory MPs "is not as strong as in Hungary". Many European newspapers comment on the heated tone of the debate over the Supreme Court. Le Monde's Philippe Bernard says the "fate of Brexit lies in the hands" of the eleven judges, and contrasts the "muted atmosphere" in the court with the pro-Brexit press "letting rip" over the judges' alleged "europhilia, sexuality, and even the price of their homes". Florentin Collomp of Le Figaro believes the Brexit referendum awakened "chauvinist hysteria", leading to Gina Miller, who initiated the case against the government over Article 50, having to arrive at court "flanked by bodyguards".  France's leftwing Liberation also focuses on the "ordeal of Gina Miller" in an interview, in which she rails against the "vicious xenophobic campaign" in the tabloid press against her. Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung agrees that "emotions are boiling over" as "newspapers are also hounding judges". Germany's top-selling tabloid Bild devotes an admiring profile to "self-styled adrenaline junkie" Gina Miller, saying she "hasn't run out of surprises yet... and it is only a matter of time before the 'Black Widow' strikes again".

The former Republican Nebraska senator will speak at the Pentagon later in his first public remarks as Pentagon chief. Mr Hagel was confirmed by a 58-41 vote after Republicans stalled his nomination, questioning his past positions on Israel and Iran. He replaces Leon Panetta, who was confirmed by 100-0 in June 2011. "I am honoured that President Obama and the Senate have entrusted me to serve our nation once again," Mr Hagel said in a statement. Two weeks ago, Republicans delayed a vote, questioning Mr Hagel's past positions on Israel and Iran, and his qualifications for the post. But they dropped the filibuster stalling tactic, the first time it has ever been used to delay confirmation of a defence secretary, after a week-long recess. President Barack Obama's Democratic Party holds a 55-45 edge in the chamber, and Mr Hagel ultimately only needed 51 votes to be confirmed. By Andrew NorthSouth Asia correspondent Republican Senators Thad Cochran, Rand Paul, Richard Shelby and Mike Johanns voted in favour of Mr Hagel's appointment. President Obama said he was pleased there had been at least some bipartisan support for Mr Hagel. "I am grateful to Chuck for reminding us that when it comes to our national defence, we are not Democrats or Republicans. We are Americans, and our greatest responsibility is the security of the American people," said Mr Obama. Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Hagel, a decorated Vietnam veteran, passed a crucial procedural vote that needed the support of 60 senators. Among the sticking points in Mr Hagel's nomination process was a remark he made in a 2008 book that the "Jewish lobby" intimidated decision-makers on Capitol Hill. Republican senators also said they feared the 66-year-old Mr Hagel would be too lax on Iran. Source: Donald A Ritchie, US Senate historian During his time as a senator, Mr Hagel angered Republican party leaders when he pilloried former President George W Bush's handling of the Iraq war. Ted Cruz, an outspoken conservative first-term senator from Texas, recently suggested without evidence that Mr Hagel had accepted payments from North Korea. During his confirmation hearing in January, Mr Hagel sought to reassure the Senate armed services committee that he was "fully committed" to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He also apologised for the "Jewish lobby" comment, saying he could not be defined by any single quote. Mr Hagel's Democratic Party supporters produced other remarks and evidence they said showed he would stick to existing US policy on Israel and Iran. The White House had warned of great risks in leaving the Pentagon without a leader at a time of budget challenges and while the US has troops in Afghanistan. Senate Democrats blasted their colleagues for the blocking tactics, but some Republicans protested that they needed more time to weigh the nomination. Others, including several senior Republicans on the armed services committee, said outright that they would not back Mr Hagel. The 900-seat venue will be the home of their new London Theatre Company. It is expected to open in spring 2017 as part of Berkeley's One Tower Bridge development. "It feels like the time is right for a new theatre that answers the needs of contemporary audiences and theatre-makers," they said. "We're going to make shows that are both challenging and popular. We know there's a large audience which responds to new work that is ambitious and stimulating; and the more adventurous it is, the more popular it turns out to be." Sir Nicholas spent 12 years as artistic director at the National, overseeing hits like The History Boys, War Horse, One Man, Two Guvnors and The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-time. He stepped down at the end of March 2015. Starr was the theatre's executive director from 2002 to 2014. The pair said the new "flagship" venue was "the only central London commercial theatre of scale not in the historic West End". "It will offer theatre-makers the kind of environment that will provoke from them adventurous new work, and it will offer to audiences modern standards of comfort, leg-room and facilities. "We're already working with playwrights and directors on a programme that will be predominantly new but will include, on occasion, a re-invention of a great work from the past."

The ceremony was adjusted last year so that the then 90-year-old monarch could use a lift rather than walk up some stairs. This year it will be a pale shadow of its former self. A "dressed down" head of state will turn up in what is described in certain circles as a "day dress". And a hat. Missing will be any robes and the Imperial State Crown will be present, but the Queen won't be wearing it. Constitutional purists may be further troubled by the absence of any carriages. The reduction in pomp is being blamed on time pressures and the need to rehearse properly. Trooping the Colour will take place two days before the State Opening of Parliament, which is scheduled for 19 June. Officials insist the temporary changes have nothing to do with the Queen's age. Normal ceremonial service will resume next year. Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said the multi-billion pound commitment would be a "central plank" of Labour's next manifesto. "The communities who stand to lose out most from Brexit must be looked after first," she told Labour's conference. The government has said it will guarantee EU-funded projects signed before November's Autumn statement. It has also said agricultural funding now provided by the EU will continue until 2020. Ms Thornberry told conference delegates in Liverpool the government's offer was "hedged in conditions" and claimed it had "said nothing" about after 2020. "Without long-term certainty over funding, our most deprived regions and communities cannot plan ahead. They cannot attract other investment. They cannot make progress," she said. "So thanks to John McDonnell, Labour's shadow chancellor, we can guarantee that a future Labour government will make up any shortfall in structural funding into the 2020s and beyond." Regions likely to benefit most from the scheme would be Wales, which is allocated £2.1bn under the current seven-year programme. South west England is due to receive £1.3bn and the North West has been allocated £979m. In her speech, Ms Thornberry also praised Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who was re-elected on Saturday, and accused the government of having "no plan" for Brexit. "We cannot turn the clock back and run the Brexit vote again. We have been given our instructions by the British people and we must act on them," she said, promising Labour would "stand up" for EU migrants, UK businesses and workers' rights. Labour also committed itself to opposing any attempts by the government to scrap any of the legal rights and funding programmes derived from Britain's membership of the EU. It will publish a document setting out the full range of such benefits, saying regional funding is "one of the most directly and imminently under threat from the Tory government". It will say: "The Labour Party therefore commits that - as a central plank of our future manifesto and budget plans - we will establish a properly-managed domestic fund for less prosperous regions currently in receipt of EU structural funds, and we will ensure that level of funding is protected in full, into the 2020s and beyond. "Funding this commitment will be our top priority for allocating the estimated net savings deriving from Britain's withdrawal from the EU." The procession, which included floats, pipe bands and dancers, set off at 12:00 GMT in the Digbeth area of the city. Last year, more than 80,000 people turned out to celebrate the occasion. The parade, which has passed through Digbeth since 1996, is regarded as the third largest in the world after those in New York and Dublin. This year's celebrations have been taking place on the actual date of St Patrick's Day and have the theme of The Gathering, which organisers say is about encouraging people of Irish descent to visit the county, town and or village of their ancestry. Pat Murphy-Wright, cultural development officer for the charity Irish in Birmingham, said: "The parade is about people embracing their roots and helps to teach children at local schools about their cultural background." John Lines, the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, told BBC News the celebrations were going really well. He said: "The weather looks fine and everyone's smiling. Such wonderful costumes - people must have spent all year preparing for this. "Aren't we lucky in Birmingham?" The Scot, 24, won silver medals in the 500m and 1,000m in Moscow, Russia. She finished 0.273 seconds behind Fan Kexin of China in the 500m and missed the 1,000m gold by 0.052 secs, with South Korea's Choi Minjeong winning. Christie's participation in Moscow had been in doubt after her paternal grandmother died earlier this month. GB Short Track performance director Stuart Horsepool said: "I'm really proud of Elise." Christie won the European title earlier this year and stormed to victory at the World Cup in Turkey last month. She said: "Under the circumstances, I'm really pleased with silver, but I believe I could have got more out of it if my head was in a different place." Christie was controversially denied medals in each of her three events at last year's Sochi Winter Olympics. She became the first British woman to win an individual short track speed skating world medal by finishing third at the 2013 Championships in Hungary. Briton Wilf O'Reilly won a gold and silver at the 1990 and 1991 World Championships. Tricia Lorenz, a patient at the North West Regional Spinal Injuries Centre in Southport Hospital, married her partner of four years, Steve McEntee. Ms Lorenz, from Wrexham, north-east Wales, was left paralysed and on a ventilator following a medical procedure in March last year. She has been in hospital since. About 50 family and friends gathered to watch the couple take their vows. Staff from the spinal unit also joined in the celebrations. Special permission from the registrar was given for the couple to marry in the centre's day room. Suppliers to Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust donated the food. Ms Lorenz said: "We've had such a lovely day. Steve and I would like to say thank you to all the staff who have made our wedding possible, and to our family and friends who have travelled here to be with us." Her husband is supervising the adaptation of his home in Frodsham, Cheshire, for when she can leave hospital.

Munster led 31-10 at the break before Elliott Dee's converted try gave the visitors hope of a comeback. But this was Munster's night as Dave Kilcoyne and Ronan O'Mahony touched down to seal a six-try win. Munster began well and out-half Tyler Bleyendaal kicked their first penalty although the Welsh side responded through a Dorian Jones penalty. It was 3-3 after 11 minutes but the Munster forwards put in all the work before Duncan Williams' pass sent Taute over for a try in the 14th minute. Bleyendaal converted and then brilliantly set up Conway's converted try - the fly-half intercepted a pass near his own line and kicked down-field for Conway to re-gather and touch down. Munster led 17-3 after 20 minutes and it got worse for the visitors when Springbok Taute scored his second try in the 28th minute. Bleyendaal added the extras again and despite a consolatory try from Buckley in the 37th minute, Munster secured the bonus point before half-time. Williams' pass was about to send replacement Dan Goggin over in the corner, but a deliberate knock-on from Carl Meyer meant that the Dragons number 15 got yellow and Munster had a penalty try. Munster led by 21 points at half-time but after Darren O'Shea got a yellow card for a shoulder charge on Jones at ruck-time, the Dragons pressurised their opponents and mauled their way over the home side's line for Dee's try in the 59th minute. Dragons trailed 31-17 at that stage and the losing bonus point was in sight but Kilcoyne touched down in the 64th minute and O'Mahony in the dying seconds. Munster: Conway, Sweetnam, Taute, Scannell, R. O'Mahony, Bleyendaal, Williams, Kilcoyne, Marshall, Archer, Kleyn, Foley, D. O'Callaghan, O'Donnell, O'Donoghue.

Sin Bin: Meyer (40) Ref: Mike Adamson (SRFU) Jeremy Middleton said the new role should be free from "party politics", with voters expected to go to the polls in May 2017. The position is being created as part of the government's Northern Powerhouse plan. Labour accused him of "acting in self-interest" over fears voters would be turned off by his Tory links. Mr Middleton, a former parliamentary candidate and ex-chairman of the Conservative National Convention, told the BBC the North East had "suffered from London Westminster politics". The 55-year-old said: "I want to challenge the government about the deal we have for the North East. I also want to challenge our local leaders. "The region has been let down. If you look at our situation in relation to Scotland or in the way we've come to devolution late, you see our quality of leadership is poor." He announced his intention to stand as a Conservative in February, but now says the contest is being used "to fight party political battles". Mr Middleton is the only candidate in the region to have so far put himself forward for the position. Jude Kirton-Darling, Labour Member of the European Parliament for the North East of England, said: "This is Jeremy Middleton seeing Jeremy Middleton's best interests. "Somebody who stood eight times as a candidate for the Conservative Party and failed eight times is obviously concerned that if he stood as a Conservative candidate he might fail to become the mayor of the North East. This is self-interest really, not above party politics." During this period, cash tills in shops hardly stop ringing as the mainland tourists flock to the international designer labels, snapping up luxury branded goods. It is a "golden period" for retailers and other businesses, which would generally see a boost to their bottom lines. But recent events have taken the shine off the beginning of this year's Golden Week. Since the weekend, tens of thousands of protesters in the Occupy Central movement have stationed themselves in several parts of Hong Kong for pro-democracy rallies in the lead-up to China's National Day, despite a call by Hong Kong leader CY Leung to work with Beijing. And that could pose a threat to Hong Kong's retail and tourism sectors. "It is believed that some visitors will postpone or even cancel their plans to visit Hong Kong for the time being," the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) told the BBC, without giving any details. "The HKTB has been closely monitoring the development of the movement." Based on the tourism board's records, international visitor arrivals into Hong Kong, including from the mainland, during the Golden Week have been increasing by a minimum of 10% over the last few years. "Naturally, the protests will put a dent on tourism from the mainland, but bear in mind that in general October is not peak season for mainland visitors to Hong Kong," says David Yang, who covers political and regulatory risks at consultancy firm IHS. "Golden Week brings a slight bump, but by my estimate it amounts to a modest extra 100,000 to 200,000 visitors." Mr Yang says the category most likely to be affected are tour groups coming to Hong Kong for overnight stays, who make up about a third of the mainland tourist traffic. "In a 'normal' year, about 30,000 to 60,000 extra mainland visitors would arrive with tour groups during the Golden Week. According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the average overnight visitor spends 8,123 Hong Kong dollars ($1,046; £644) during his or her stay." He adds that the sectors most likely to be affected are retail, food and drink, and accommodation. "The impact will last for as long as protests continue." The protesters want China to withdraw plans to vet candidates for the next Hong Kong leadership election in 2017. Their rallies have gathered at the main sites in the Central business district (Connaught Road), Causeway Bay and Mongkok. Around the corner from the protest area in the city's Central, Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) houses more than 100 bars, restaurants and retailers. The bustling entertainment and shopping district ranks high among the places to visit in Hong Kong and comes alive after sundown. Allan Zeman, chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Group which manages the district, told the BBC that businesses within LKF generally see a 20% boost to their revenues in the month of October, from the extra tourists flowing through Hong Kong during China's Golden Week. But that could change this year. When the protests began, several restaurants and bars decided to close earlier than usual, says Mr Zeman. "Obviously safety is our first priority." The number of revellers and patrons in the area has dropped by about 15%. "There will be an impact from the protests, but not too much," he says. That is because even though the number of tour groups may have dropped, they are not the main customers at LKF. Instead, the group's typical customer is "the FIT" (Free Individual Traveller). Despite the proximity to the protest zones, Mr Zeman is confident there will be no spillover from the demonstrators. "We are an entertainment and dining district, and we do not anticipate Occupy Central will move into LKF. It is not a political place and we also have a lot of experience dealing with crowds." Not everyone is cancelling their planned trip to Hong Kong though. Curtis Bergh, a Singapore-based businessman from the US, travels to Hong Kong about four times a year, for both business and leisure. Last week he booked a 10-day trip to Hong Kong starting on 2 October. He is still going ahead with the trip. "I don't feel it's necessary to cancel my trip as the protests are still quite concentrated in certain areas of Hong Kong and most of my plans and activities are away from the protest zones," he says. "I've adjusted my itinerary to avoid the protest areas as much as possible. I'll just have to keep an eye out on the situation as it is very fluid, and adjust my movements and plans accordingly." While tourism is one area of economic growth for Hong Kong, it is not the main driver. "More important to Hong Kong are domestic retail spending, banking and finance, and social services," says David Kuo, director at investment advisory firm Motley Fool Singapore. He says that as the protests have been well contained to parts of Central and Mong Kok, and have generally been promoted as being friendly and good-natured, they "should do little to affect the rest of the country or its position as a place to do business". And he points out that China, politically, needs Hong Kong more than it would like to admit. "Hong Kong, with its sound legal framework, freedom of speech and fair judicial system, is and will remain, the acceptable face of China to the outside world." He adds: "There could be a short-term impact on tourism but it is something that Hong Kong has learnt to weather over the years. Hong Kong people are a resilient bunch." "The Blade" is the first in a series of temporary commissions marking Hull's year as UK City of Culture. The 28-tonne structure will remain on display in Queen Victoria Square until 18 March. The artwork was transported from the Siemens factory on Alexandra Dock, where it was made, through the city overnight in a complex operation. More than 50 items of street furniture had to be removed to allow it to reach the square. It arrived on Sunday morning and large crowds gathered to watch it slowly lifted into its final position by late-afternoon. Project director Richard Bickers said it had been a demanding effort. "Blade is not only a dramatic artistic installation, but in terms of its transportation and exhibition, a significant engineering feat. "A major challenge we encountered was manoeuvring the structure through Hull's narrow city centre streets." The artwork has been designed by Nayan Kulkarni who said he was impressed by the smooth operation to install it. "They did a study, they did a drawing, they planned the route meticulously. "The drawings looked difficult, the movements through the city were graceful, I mean it looked effortless." B75 rotor blades - which would normally form the top of a wind turbine - are the world's largest handmade fibreglass components to be cast as a single object, organisers said. Martin Green, CEO and director Hull 2017, said: "It's a structure we would normally expect out at sea and in a way it might remind you of a giant sea creature, which seems appropriate with Hull's maritime history. "It's a magnificent start to our Look Up programme, which will see artists creating site specific work throughout 2017 for locations around the city." Weir, a highly-rated midfielder, joined Bristol during the mid-season break in 2015 but could not prevent the Vixens from being relegated from WSL 1. The 20-year-old previously lifted the FA Women's Cup with Arsenal in 2014. "Liverpool Ladies are a really ambitious club and I am confident that we can win more trophies over the next few seasons," told the club website. "It is a great move for me. There are so many talented players here and I am really looking forward to playing alongside them in order to develop my game." The teenager was hit by a van while she was walking near the Merrions Close turning on Birmingham Road on Wednesday morning. West Midlands Police said Zoe, a pupil of Q3 Academy in Great Barr, was taken to hospital but died soon afterwards. Her mother Jo Corbett, from Malvern, confirmed Zoe was the second child she had lost in recent years. Her son, Max Corbett-Gardener, died aged four in 2013 from complications associated with severe epilepsy. A 42-year-old man from Walsall was arrested at the scene of the accident on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been released on bail. PC Julie Lyman, from West Midlands Police's collisions investigations unit, said inquiries were ongoing and officers were supporting Ms Shapiro's family. More on this story and other Birmingham and Black Country news Few scientific facts are known about the hapless bird, which was last sighted in 1662. A study of bone specimens shows the chicks hatched in August and grew rapidly to adult size. The bird shed its feathers in March revealing fluffy grey plumage recorded in historical accounts by mariners. Delphine Angst of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, was given access to some of the dodo bones that still exist in museums and collections, including specimens that were recently donated to a museum in France. Her team analysed slices of bone from 22 dodos under the microscope to find out more about the bird's growth and breeding patterns. "Before our study we knew very very little about these birds," said Dr Angst. "Using the bone histology for the first time we managed to describe that this bird was actually breeding at a certain time of the year and was moulting just after that." The scientists can tell from growth patterns in the bones that the chicks grew to adult size very rapidly after hatching from eggs around August. This would have given them a survival advantage when cyclones hit the island between November and March, leading to a scarcity of food. However, the birds probably took several years to reach sexual maturity, possibly because the adult birds lacked any natural predators. The bones of adult birds also show signs of mineral loss, which suggests that they lost old damaged feathers after the breeding season. Ancient mariners gave conflicting accounts of the dodo, describing them as having "black down" or "curled plumes of a greyish colour". The research, published in Scientific Reports, backs this historical evidence. "The dodo was quite a brown-grey bird, and during the moulting it had downy, black plumage," explained Dr Angst. "What we found using our scientific methods fit perfectly with what the sailors had written in the past." The research could also shed light on the dodo's extinction about 350 years ago, less than 100 years after humans arrived on the island. Hunting was a factor in the dodo's demise, but monkeys, deer, pigs and rats released on the island from ships probably sealed their fate. Dodos laid their eggs in nests on the ground, meaning they were vulnerable to attack by feral mammals. Dr Angst said the dodo is considered "a very big icon of animal-human induced extinction", although the full facts are unknown. "It's difficult to know what was the real impact of humans if we don't know the ecology of this bird and the ecology of the Mauritius island at this time," she explained. "So that's one step to understand the ecology of these birds and the global ecosystem of Mauritius and to say, 'Okay, when the human arrived what exactly did they do wrong and why did these birds became extinct so quickly'." Julian Hume of the Natural History Museum, London, a co-researcher on the study, said there are still many mysteries surrounding the dodo. "Our work is showing the seasons and what was actually affecting the growth of these birds because of the climate in Mauritius," he said. "The cyclone season, when often the island is devastated with storms - all the fruits and all the leaves are blown off the trees - is quite a harsh period for the fauna - the reptiles and the birds on Mauritius." The dodo, which is related to the pigeon, evolved on Mauritius. However, bone samples are rare, making it difficult to trace the evolutionary process. Although many specimens of the dodo ended up in European museums, most were lost or destroyed in the Victorian era. Follow Helen on Twitter. Beating Bowel Cancer found wide variation within the NHS in England in diagnosing the disease. It says 3,200 lives could be saved each year if every NHS region did as well as the best performing areas. In some regions, less than a third of cases are detected before the cancer has started to spread around the body. Part of the problem is people not coming forward for checks. A bowel-cancer screening programme was introduced in England in 2006, but figures show that uptake among the eligible 60- to 74-year-old age group has been around the 60% mark. Early detection is vital. Those diagnosed with the disease in its advanced stages have a 7% chance of living another five years. This compares with a 97% chance of survival if the cancer is detected at the earliest possible stage. The regional diagnostic figures quoted by Beating Bowel Cancer come from the National Cancer Intelligence Network's Cancer Commissioning Toolkit. It captures data from more than 150 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) caring for hundreds of thousands of NHS patients. Mark Flannagan, chief executive of Beating Bowel Cancer, said: "It's unacceptable that there are CCGs in England that diagnose less than one in three patients at an early stage. "If they all performed as well as the best, thousands of lives could be saved and millions of pounds could be freed up to be used for other bowel cancer treatments, which patients are frequently told are unaffordable. "This will require further improvements in screening, renewed efforts to raise awareness of signs and symptoms, and investment to support improvements in GP performance in investigating and referring patients appropriately." In the UK, about 41,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year and about 16,000 die of the disease. Nick Ormiston-Smith of Cancer Research UK said: " There are a number of reasons why cancer may be diagnosed at an advanced stage - for some cancers, symptoms are often only noticeable once the tumour has already started to spread. But for many others there are chances for the cancer to be picked up earlier. "It's vital that people are aware of their body and if they notice anything unusual they should visit their GP." The main symptoms to look out for are: The four stone sculptures have been there since the bridge across the Menai Strait first opened in 1850, but the A55 crossing was built over them. Almost 200 people have signed a petition to raise two of the limestone big cats onto the bridge. Some are concerned the bridge would not cope with moving the 80 tonne lions. Tim Snow, who started the "Raise the Lions" online petition, is calling on Network Rail to move the sculptures up, saying it would boost tourism. "They are part of our local heritage," said Mr Snow. "It would be great for visitors and locals alike to be greeted by these magnificent lions." Bob Diamond, Gwynedd's former director of highways and now treasurer of the Menai Heritage centre, said the bridge would "probably not be strong enough" to hold cranes that would be needed to lift the big cats. "They were actually finished in situ. If you try and take them apart to raise them you would in effect be destroying a work of art," he added. Mr Diamond also worries the sculptures could distract motorists if they are placed by the A55. The four lions - two on each side - are made from limestone from Penmon. They survived a fire which damaged the bridge in 1970. As the Britannia Bridge is a grade II listed structure any proposed alterations would need planning permission from the local authority, Network Rail said. A Network Rail spokesman said: "As a publicly funded organisation committed to delivering our railway upgrade plan to provide a bigger and better railway, we would be unable to provide financial assistance but would be happy to meet with campaign members to discuss the structure and to offer any guidance we can". TrawsCymru's new T1C service replaces the previous 701 service which was operated by Lewis Coaches before it went into administration in August. It will run alongside the hourly T1 bus service between Aberystwyth and Carmarthen, which connects with the rail line at Carmarthen. The service will be reviewed after six months. Economy and Infrastructure Secretary Ken Skates said he was "delighted" TrawsCymru was able to take on the "important route". "Following the sudden closure of Lewis coaches, we've acted quickly with the local authority and others to ensure that critical services were continued with as little disruption as possible," he added. The 20-year-old from Newtownards made one senior appearance for Watford having come through their academy. Doherty, who can also play in midfield, moved to Orient last summer and had a month-long loan at Altrincham before his release earlier in January. He has won five caps with the Northern Ireland U21 side and also played for the U17 and U19 teams. David Morris, Conservative MP for Morecambe, said a link between Heysham and Barrow would benefit business. He told Transport Minister Robert Goodwill it would also help hospitals on either side of the bay. Mr Goodwill said the government wanted to boost growth through road improvements and suggested he approach Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP). LEPs - boards of business people and councillors in charge of developing local economies - were set up by the coalition after Regional Development Agencies were scrapped. Speaking in a House of Commons debate, Mr Morris said a road link under Morecombe Bay would cut travelling time from an hour and a half to under 30 minutes. "On the Cumbria coast there are BAE Systems and Sellafield and the national nuclear laboratory", he said. "If the workers at Heysham power station in my constituency could access these sites more easily it would create a greater scope for them to work together. "It would also improve communications between hospitals in the Morecambe Bay Trust, as it is currently difficult to transport staff and patients between ones on either side of the bay." No costing has been made for creating the tunnel and Mr Morris said there was still much work to be done on the subject of funding. Its 15-mile length would mean it would be equal in size to Norway's Laerdal Tunnel, which is the longest road tunnel in the world Mr Goodwill described Mr Morris's plan as "a bold vision". He said: "The government believes it is local people and organisations which are best placed to understand the needs of areas and support and boost growth. "Therefore, while I support my honourable friend's ambition, at this stage I would suggest he engages actively with the Lancashire and Cumbria LEPs to promote this further." Andrew Dosiuk, 33 was shot dead at his home in Laneham Avenue, Nottingham, in November 2013. A jury at Nottingham Crown Court found Michael Furniss, 50, guilty after more than a week of deliberations. During the six week trial, the court heard Furniss, of no fixed address, had gone to Mr Dosiuk's home on 11 November last year and shot him three times. The prosecution claimed that Furniss had been hired as a hit man by his friend James Stacey, 30, who was under increasing pressure to pay Mr Dosiuk £7,000 as part of a drugs debt. A third man, Stuart Hall, 23, had acted as a middle man, said prosecutor David Herbert. Mr Hall of Forest Road, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire and Mr Stacey of Seeley Avenue, Nottingham, were cleared of murder charges. Furniss's barrister Icah Peart said 33-year-old Mr Dosiuk had many enemies. He said Mr Dosiuk had also been awaiting trial for the supply of cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine and ketamine but was killed days before it was due to start. Furniss will be sentenced on Thursday. Media playback is not supported on this device The Rams were top of the Championship on Boxing Day, but are now seven points behind leaders Hull City and are without a league win in five matches. Clement, whose side host Preston on Tuesday, told BBC East Midlands Today: "It's a massive month for us. We've got to have a really good, strong month. "We are glad to see the back of January with performances and results." Since their Boxing Day win over Fulham, Derby have lost to Middlesbrough, Birmingham and Burnley, while drawing with Leeds and Reading. The Rams also bowed out of the FA Cup with a fourth-round defeat at Manchester United last Friday. "We are going to try and be robust defensively," continued Clement. "We have lost our way with our defending as a team recently. We've conceded a lot of goals. "That wasn't a characteristic of our team in the early months and that's something we will have to get right." Ms Davidson said figures obtained from the Student Awards Agency of Scotland showed £60m would be spent on bursaries in 2016, compared to £104m in 2007. She said the SNP had "gutted" the funding for poorer students. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland was reducing the attainment gap "faster than the rest of the UK." Ucas figures have shown that pupils from more affluent areas are far more likely to want to go to university, with 15.1% of youngsters from the poorest areas in Scotland applying for places in 2015, compared to 52% in the least-deprived areas. At First Minister's Questions, Ms Davidson said the SNP policy of opposing university tuition fees had "failed to produce a more egalitarian outcome compared to the rest of the UK". She produced a Freedom of Information request to the awards agency which showed bursary support had fallen from £104.8m in 2007/8 to £63.6m in 2014/15. She said: "Not only are those people from the most deprived areas not getting their foot through the door, but their bursary support has fallen too. "How can she explain to them that when the SNP came to power there was more than £104m in the pot, but next year it will have plummeted to just £60m? "The SNP is slashing college places and has cut bursaries - and now the universal free tuition policy designed to counter those things has been shown not to work." Ms Davidson backs introducing a graduate contribution, which would see students pay back some money once in work and earning a certain amount. Scottish Labour later joined the attack, with Iain Gray saying the SNP were "strangers to the truth" over student debt, adding: "Thousands of young people from poorer families who have the grades to access the best courses can only get the extra support they need by borrowing more. We need to deliver better student support for our young people." Ms Sturgeon hit back at the claims, saying more students from disadvantaged backgrounds were making it into higher education. She said: "The number of people from our most deprived communities achieving a university qualification has increased under this government by 24%. "The number of 18-year-olds from our most deprived areas applying to university is up by 50%. "Those are the facts and what will certainly not help us make any further progress is to go down the road of the Tories by taking away bursaries from all students. "We will continue to make sure that we have a funding support package for our students that supports students, particularly those from the poorest backgrounds, to go to college and university." She also said that with the Conservative chancellor George Osborne announcing the UK government would "abolish all bursary support" in his Spending Review, she would "take no lectures whatsoever" on the matter from Ms Davidson. The Met Office said winds are likely to pick up in places from 17:00 GMT on Friday, especially near coasts. It has also warned snow in north Wales may settle on high ground in the evening. The warning follows high winds from Storm Barney which hit the country on Tuesday. Britain's second named storm left more than 7,500 homes and business in Wales without power. Saints led 8-0 at half-time after Zeb Taia crossed over on 19 minutes. Adam Milner's try reduced the arrears but James Roby and Jonny Lomax stretched Saints' lead to 14 points. A spectacular Joel Monaghan try was just a consolation for Cas and Roby's second try secured St Helens only their third away win of the season. Castleford, who lead by 10 points at the top of the table, were beaten in front of their own fans for the first time since Warrington won 42-26 in July last year. The visitors went ahead when Taia burst past Zak Hardaker's challenge to go over and Percival added the extras, before converting a penalty five minutes later. Kyle Amor had a score disallowed for a knock-on to deny St Helens a second try, while the hosts had one chalked off for offside. Matty Smith's drop-goal attempt for the hosts fell well short on the stroke of half-time, but St Helens went to the break with an eight-point lead. Milner jinked in under the posts from close range and Luke Gale's conversion reduced the deficit to two points, but St Helens surged back when Lomax's short pass set up Roby for his fifth Super League try in the past six matches - and then Lomax pounced on a bobbling ball from Smith's low kick. Monaghan's one-handed dive in the right-hand corner gave the hosts a ray of hope, before Roby powered over from close range to secure a convincing victory for the Saints, who move third in Super League. Castleford boss Daryl Powell: "I don't think there was much between the teams, but they defended pretty well and there were some key turning points in the game. "It was pretty tight leading up to half-time, but I thought Saints played really well and I expected them to. "We haven't had this feeling for a fair while, but I think it will probably help us moving down the track. Our effort was fantastic and the intensity of the game was great, but they were the better side." St Helens boss Justin Holbrook: "It was always going to be a tough game, we knew that and we expected it, so to come here and get the win, I couldn't be happier. "No matter how much homework you do, Castleford are still a very dangerous side and it was up to our boys to continually make the right decisions in defence. "We did that and it was really pleasing, plus James Roby is as a good a nine as I've seen. He's not just tough and creative, he's also fit and he's a great guy."

Referee: Robert Hicks (RFL). The slump was large enough for trading in stocks of the Japanese industrial giant to be automatically halted. Shares had already fallen 12% on Tuesday after reports of the likely write-down began circulating. Toshiba said the possible heavy one-off loss was linked to a deal done by a US subsidiary, Westinghouse Electric. Westinghouse bought the nuclear construction and services business from Chicago Bridge & Iron in 2015. There is now a dispute over the costs of the deal and the value of the assets it took on. Toshiba president Satoshi Tsunakawa apologised for "causing concern". Rating agencies Moody's and R&I both downgraded Toshiba's credit rating, which will make it more expensive for the company to borrow. R&I warned that it could issue further downgrades, while Moody's cautioned that further impairments could lead to Toshiba breaching agreements with its banks. The warning was a blow for the firm's corporate reputation, which is still struggling to recover after it emerged in 2015 that profits had been overstated for years, prompting the chief executive to resign. Since then, Toshiba has been trying to slim down the business, including selling its medical devices operations to Canon. While the share price slump is a blow for investors, 2016 had still been a pretty good year given that the stock had risen more than 77% before this week's falls. The sculpture, by Paul Day, also marks the contribution made by civilians in the conflicts. It is formed of two stone monoliths and a bronze medallion. Its unveiling in Victoria Embankment Gardens followed a service for 2,500 veterans on Horse Guards Parade. More than 800 UK military personnel and civilians died in the three wars. Before the unveiling, the Queen and other members of the Royal Family attended a "drumhead" service - a religious service held in the field of battle which uses drums as an improvised altar - with veterans and other guests. After the new monument was revealed, the Queen received a posy from the Lunn family - Serjeant Mark Lunn, 29, who was awarded the Military Cross for his actions during a fire-fight in Basra, his wife, Corporal Michelle Lunn, 26, and their two-year-old son Alfie. But the toddler appeared a little reluctant to meet the monarch, squirming and wriggling as he met her. Prince Harry served in the Army for 10 years, including two tours of Afghanistan. Prince William served in the armed forces for eight years. The guests included current service personnel, veterans, former prime ministers, civil servants and charity workers. Among those at the service was Tony Blair, whose presence at the ceremony attracted some criticism on social media. In 2016 the UK's Iraq War inquiry said Tony Blair overstated the threat posed by former Iraq leader Saddam Hussein, sent ill-prepared troops into battle and had "wholly inadequate" plans for the aftermath. Former prime ministers David Cameron and Sir John Major were also there. The £1m monument was funded by a campaign by the Sun on Sunday newspaper. The unveiling itself was relayed to screens on Horse Guards Parade. Mark Collins, a former RAF wing commander who did two tours of Afghanistan, said the memorial would be a focal point where people could reflect on the good that went on overseas as well as the sadness. He said he would remember a US marine from his team who was killed by a suicide bomber, leaving a physical absence in the team as well as frustration and anger for his loss. The sun shone on Horse Guards Parade for the drumhead service. Bands from the Royal Marines, the Scots Guards and RAF played solemn music. The Metropolitan Police Choir sang Nearer My God to Thee. And Prince Harry, himself an Afghanistan veteran, read one of the lessons. The prime minister looked on, seated close to her three predecessors, John Major, Tony Blair and David Cameron, in office between them throughout the 25 years of conflict. Afterwards the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh were taken across Whitehall to unveil the memorial itself in Victoria Gardens, between the Ministry of Defence and the Thames. It towered above the diminutive figure of the Queen, a huge brass disc between two stone pillars by the sculptor Paul Day. Sculptor Paul Day also created the Battle of Britain monument, which stands nearby on the Embankment, as well as the Meeting Place, the sculpture of an embracing couple in St Pancras station. This design consists of two large stone monoliths which appear to support a bronze medallion. The Portland stone, quarried from under Portland's cricket pitch, weighs 33 tonnes. The stone is finely carved on three sides but left jagged and rough hewn on the fourth side to suggest the rocky terrains of Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr Day said he also wanted to suggest how the outcomes of both campaigns were not fully resolved, and the "division within the British people" over them. Former MI6 boss Sir John Sawers told the BBC's Andrew Marr that the UK would be shut out of decisions on the "crucial" issue of data sharing. But Justice Secretary Michael Gove, who backs the campaign for the UK to leave the EU, said Sir John was "flat wrong". He told the programme many security experts did not think that "Brexit" would harm Britain. Security is the latest battleground in the run-up to the referendum on the UK's EU membership on 23 June. Cross-border policing and security collaboration but also freedom of movement. Sir John and ex-MI5 chief Lord Evans stepped into the debate with an article in the Sunday Times. Sir John told the BBC that he and Lord Evans, who led MI5 until three years ago, had waited to intervene until after Thursday's elections. He said: "The reason we would be less safe [if the UK voted to leave], is that we would be unable to take part in the decisions that frame the sharing of data, which is a crucial part of counter-terrorism and counter-cyber work that we do these days, and we would lose the abilities of thing like the European Arrest Warrant." He said the UK leaving would also threaten wider European stability, saying: "We are only secure because the wider Europe is secure, pulling out will make it more dangerous." Sir John said that, thanks to data sharing within the EU, the French had been able to transfer DNA and fingerprints of one of the Brussels bombers - the kind of thing which used to take months - within minutes. He rejected claims that the European Court of Justice was getting in the way of security, adding: "I think judges tend to err on the side of human rights rather than erring on the side of security. That's beginning to change as judges understand the scale of the security threat that Europe faces." Mr Gove told the BBC the ECJ had interfered in the UK's capacity to share data and intelligence with the US and stopped it deporting people "whose presence here is not conducive to the public good". He said the European Criminal Records Information System did not allow the UK to know whether or not criminals had entered the country. "We only find out whether or not people have criminal records after they commit an offence in this country. It's a gossamer-thin protection." He argued that removing the UK from the ECJ's remit post-referendum would be among "immediate steps in order to make this country safer". He said many security experts did not agree with Sir John' analysis. "Ron Noble, who's the head of Interpol, says that the European Union's open borders policy is like hanging out a welcome sign for terrorists. "Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, says that open borders policy, and also the way in which European courts operate, is against our interest. Richard Walton, the most recent head of anti-terrorism at the Met, say that we would suffer not one whit by being outside the EU." Sir Richard, who led MI6 from 1999 to 2004, wrote recently that the cost to Britain's security of leaving the EU would be low. It found Wales less dependent than England on large firms such as Southern Cross, which collapsed in 2011. But experts said high capital costs, uncertain income and staff shortages deterred existing firms from expanding their operations, and new entrants. Health Minister Mark Drakeford said the report would help shape the debate about the provision of care. The Public Policy Institute for Wales (PPIW) said financial pressures on care homes had made it more difficult for new entrants to enter the market. Some existing operators were interested in expanding, but the report said they were put off by the capital costs involved, uncertainty over future demand, and the rising costs of care as people needed more intensive support. The researchers urged the Welsh government and local councils to monitor services, ownership, financial stability, staffing and quality of care to plan for the future. Mr Drakeford said: "The sector is facing pressure in terms of changes in home ownership, demand for care and the current challenging financial climate." He added that checks on the state of the care home market would have a "fundamental role" in a new regime of closer co-ordination between health boards and local councils. "It is our intention that this type of assessment will ensure that a failure similar to that of the former Southern Cross group does not happen again," he said. Southern Cross was the UK's largest provider of care homes, with more than 750 properties, around 30 of them in Wales. The company collapsed in 2011, with ownership of the homes passing to their respective landlords. Waves gouged out a 2m (6ft) deep hole in the sea wall at Teignmouth in Devon. The Environment Agency and Teignbridge District Council rebuilt the sea wall despite "challenging" weather conditions. The agency said the wall breach put Teignmouth homes at risk of flooding, so it was "essential to carry out repairs quickly". Anthony Stokes went to ground in the box as he was challenged by Killie's Michael Nelson but referee Willie Collum waved away spot-kick appeals. The incident took place after Dieter van Tornhout headed the only goal. "You've got to take your chances and we missed simple chances. We should've had a penalty," Lennon told BBC Scotland. "It's a penalty and a sending off at a big moment in the game. I'm not saying we would've scored the penalty but I think the referee's got that one completely wrong." Lennon cited missed opportunities for Gary Hooper and Stokes as he reflected on Celtic's defeat, which ended his side's hopes of completing a domestic treble. Any1 that thinks I wud dive wen I'm 1 on 1 wit d keeper needs their head checked. So disappointed but we still have so much to play for Link "If we had got one, we might have gone on to win the game comfortably," Lennon told BBC Scotland. "We conceded a poor goal from our point of view. "We dominated the game so Kilmarnock can count themselves pretty fortunate that they've won the game. And maybe that's down to a lot of luck on their part and poor finishing from us. "We couldn't have played that bad. He [goalkeeper Cammy Bell] has made six or seven great saves to keep Kilmarnock in it. That happens in a cup final. "I'm very disappointed for our players but we've got a league championship and a cup to win so we'll lift them again and go again." Lennon also said news of a suspected heart attack for Kilmarnock midfielder Liam Kelly's father had put things "into perspective". "My sympathies go to [Liam] and his family," added Lennon. "All my thoughts go with the family. "It makes my pain pale into insignificance to what he's feeling." Lamont, 35, will win his 102nd cap in Cardiff, with Wasps' fly-half/full-back Ruaridh Jackson coming onto the bench. Scotland are aiming to end of a run of eight straight defeats against Wales, and eight losses in the Six Nations stretching back to February 2014. Maitland had recently recovered from a hamstring injury before facing England. He played the full 80 minutes at Murrayfield in Scotland's 15-9 defeat last Saturday, but has suffered a recurrence of the problem. "Sean had a twinge in his hamstring earlier in the week," explained head coach Vern Cotter. "He thought it was OK at the captain's run yesterday but then felt it again, so we thought it was probably best he didn't take the field." The teams were separated only by goal difference before the match and that was reflected in the closeness of the contest. The difference was the presence of a proven match-winner in the visiting ranks. Kane Hemmings' 24th and 25th goals of the season rendered Kris Doolan's effort meaningless. The win moves Paul Hartley's side three points clear in seventh place, with the Premiership now split in two for the final weeks of the campaign. Media playback is not supported on this device Hemmings' first goal came marginally against the run of play, with Dundee goalkeeper Scott Bain having earlier had to move sharply off his line to block Ryan Edwards' goal-bound shot. But after Gary Harkins skewed a shot wide, team-mate Hemmings showed typically predatory skills to put his side ahead. He darted towards the near post as Paul McGinn burst down the right, but as the cross came in, Hemmings checked his run and tapped in unmarked from close range. Thistle were always well in the game and Doolan was denied by the impressive Bain, who tipped the striker's shot round the post. But the Thistle frontman did notch his 10th goal of the season 20 minutes before the end to give his side hope of victory. Abdul Osman drifted a cross in from the Thistle left and Doolan headed past Bain to the delight of the home fans. But they were to be disappointed before the end as the excellent Greg Stewart played a perfectly-weighted pass in behind the Thistle defence, allowing Hemmings to race through and slip a shot between the legs of keeper Ryan Scully. David Amoo blasted over the bar from point-blank range in injury-time when he should have earned his side a draw, as Dundee again left Glasgow's west end with all three points. The hosts took the lead through Marley Watkins' free header at the back post. QPR turned the game around with two penalties, as Tjaronn Chery fired down the middle and Sebastian Polter placed his strike into the corner. Conor Hourihane's spectacular free-kick levelled and Scowen finished on the half-volley to snatch a dramatic win before Rangers had Grant Hall sent off. The defender was shown a second yellow card within half an hour in injury time for pulling down Stefan Payne. Barnsley move up to seventh in the table with their second win of their season, while QPR are fifth on goal difference. The hosts were unchanged from their victory over Derby on Saturday and a good start saw them take the lead when Alfie Mawson headed the ball across the box for Watkins to nod in from three yards. Scowen glanced a header wide but QPR grew in strength as the game went on and Chery's free-kick came back off the crossbar. Just 30 seconds into the second half, Chery made it 1-1 from the spot after Polter was brought down by Marc Roberts. Polter then netted a penalty himself when James Bree clipped the heels of Yeni Ngbakoto. But Barnsley won it with a dramatic turnaround as Hourihane's free-kick flew into the top corner and the winner arrived when Scowen pounced after Payne's nod down. Barnsley head coach Paul Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I'm delighted with the result. Adam Davies didn't have a shot to save, apart from the two penalties. "We watched a lot of QPR in the first few games and they really dominated teams with the aggression, organisation and running power, but we more than matched them. "We got what we deserved and the pleasing thing is we can get better." QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink: "Barnsley were the better side in the first half, but we got ourselves together in the second half and played better and got the two goals from deserved penalties. "But if the referee is going to give one of those soft free-kicks for their second goal, that he hasn't been giving all game, I think that is painful. "And then the third goal, what is the difference between the second goal? The player is in the air, trying to win the ball, he gets a nudge, what is the difference? I don't understand it. "Referees need to make decisions and it looked like the wild west out there. They could do what they wanted, there was no authority." Match ends, Barnsley 3, Queens Park Rangers 2.

Labour leader Ed Miliband appealed to Scottish pride and patriotism in his final push to win votes. Conservative leader David Cameron visited a farm shop near Dumfries, where he urged voters to think about the future of the country. And Nick Clegg predicted the Lib Dems would do better than expected. First Minister's Questions, which was held a day earlier than usual to avoid a clash with polling day, was dominated by the election campaign, with Ms Sturgeon fielding questions from her political rivals. Earlier, the SNP leader told supporters in Edinburgh her party was on the brink of making history. She said: "We are within touching distance of doing something the SNP has never done in our history. "We are within touching distance of winning a Westminster election. And if we do that, then the voice of Scotland is going to be heard more loudly at Westminster than it has ever been heard before." She added: "We can lock the Tories out of government but then we can make sure that the Tories are not simply replaced by a Labour Tory-light government, they are replaced by something better." Meanwhile, in his final message to the people of Scotland ahead of the vote, Mr Miliband said: "I understand the patriotism and pride you feel in your nation. "I know you want change. And I know you want a more socially just and fairer country. That's what I want too." The Labour leader added: "If I'm prime minister I will hold Scotland's interests in my heart and my head. "My party is based on values long held in Scotland and has been driven forward by great Scots like Keir Hardie and John Smith throughout our proud history." Mr Clegg has been making his way from Lands End to John O'Groats in his election "battle bus". On the way, he stopped off at a nursery in Bearsden where he claimed the Lib Dems would be the "surprise story" of election night - doing better than pollsters had predicted. He said: "At the beginning of this campaign we were written off and yet tomorrow, when the polls close, the Liberal Democrats will be the surprise story of this general election campaign because we are going to win. "We are going to win here against the SNP, we are going to win against Labour, we are going to win against the Conservatives. "I'll tell you why we are going to win - because we work harder than any other political party. Because what we offer the British people is in tune with their hopes and their dreams and their aspirations for the future. And because our values are right." David and Samantha Cameron paid a fleeting visit to Scotland as they dropped into Kilnford Barns Farm Shop near Dumfries where they met staff and apprentices and picked up some cheese and sausages. Mr Cameron told reporters: "The key thing here is to think about the future of our country as you hold that pencil in your hand and choose to vote. "The SNP's agenda is to break up the United Kingdom. Don't mistake their agenda for anything else, that's their aim. "If you want a party that will keep going with a strong economy and a strong United Kingdom then you need to vote Conservative." The Scottish Greens said they would help to build a fairer society as they campaigned in Edinburgh. Co-convenor Patrick Harvie said: "It's time to move away from a fossil fuel dominated economy which is lurching from crisis to crisis and build a fairer, more equal society. "Only a Green vote will put those values into the heart of our political system''. Polling booths will be open from 07:00 to 22:00 on Thursday. Counting of votes will begin when the polls close. What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election? Policy guide: Where the parties stand The householder had reported seeing a spider "the size of her hand" hiding in a downstairs cupboard. Inspector Nikki Denham was prepared with gloves and nets to trap the spider, but after shining a torch in the cupboard saw it was plastic. The RSPCA said the woman was "obviously embarrassed". Ms Denham said the householder in Alresford had closed all doors to prevent the spider's escape before she arrived. "It was dark under the stairs, but I could see legs behind a vacuum cleaner that certainly were tarantula size. "However, as I shone light in I could see that it was in fact a toy plastic tarantula," she said. She said the toy was shown to the woman's young son who confirmed it was his - "with an angelic innocent face". A RSPCA spokeswoman said the organisation was called on to rescue 275 genuine tarantulas in 2016. The 34-year-old sustained the damage in the opening minutes of Saturday's 2-0 at Celtic. The former Scotland international, who has been an ever-present for Motherwell this season, will undergo surgery next week. Motherwell are currently 10th in the Premiership, three points above the play-off spot. Mark McGhee's side are at home to Dundee on Saturday and a win would move them level on points with the sixth-placed visitors. Meanwhile, Motherwell have added to their backroom staff, with the return of Steve Robinson as first-team coach. The 42-year-old was sacked by English League One side Oldham last month after six months as manager. He first joined Motherwell in February 2015, serving under Ian Baraclough and McGhee, before leaving Fir Park for Boundary Park in July. The colourful phenomenon was visible in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but was also spotted as far south as Anglesey in Wales and Staffordshire in England. Aurora Borealis occurs when electrically-charged particles from the sun enter the earth's atmosphere. Many people took to social media to share photographs of the dramatic show. Forecasters had predicted a solar storm and good conditions for Aurora Borealis, and sightings of green, pink, purple, red and yellow lights were reported for several hours from about 20:00 GMT. Gavin Chambers, an RSPB warden, tweeted pictures of vivid green in the sky over Lake Vyrnwy in Powys, Wales, saying: "Well worth getting back out of bed for!!" Donna Butcher tweeted: "Just been watching an amazing display of Aurora from Staveley, Cumbria. Shafts of light streaming directly towards Polaris." You can email your pictures and video to yourpics@bbc.co.uk, and find out more about the Northern Lights here. President Barack Obama withdrew his opposition to a bipartisan bill that was unanimously passed through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. However, a Congressional No vote would not be binding and could be vetoed by Mr Obama. An outline agreement on the future shape of Iran's nuclear programme was reached after marathon talks in April. The US, Iran, and five other nations have set a deadline of 30 June to finalise a deal which would ease western sanctions in exchange for restrictions on Iran's nuclear programme. Mr Obama agreed to sign the bill giving Congress the right to reject any forthcoming agreement with Iran. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani immediately attacked the move. "What the US Senate, Congress and others say is not our problem... We are in talks with the major powers and not with the Congress." Some Republicans have argued against the nuclear deal, saying Iran has received too many concessions. They have always insisted they must have a say if any agreement means economic sanctions levied by Congress against Iran will be lifted. The Israeli government, which has been fiercely critical of the deal with Iran, welcomed the agreement between Mr Obama and Congress. White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Mr Obama was not "particularly thrilled" with the outcome, but US media have pointed out that in the event of Congress rejecting a deal with Iran, Mr Obama would be able to use his presidential veto. A two-thirds majority would then be needed for Congress to override the veto, which is viewed as unlikely. The bill is now likely to clear both houses in the Republican-controlled Congress. An earlier version of the bill had placed a 60-day halt to any plan by Mr Obama to lift sanctions on Iran. But that review period has been reduced to 30 days. Mr Obama will still be able to lift sanctions he himself imposed through executive action but he would be unable to ease those imposed by Congress.

The authorities understood that few of the people coming in would want to stay, although some expressed regret that people desperately fleeing conflict did not view Serbia as a desirable destination. But Hungary's fence and its criminalisation of unofficial border crossings has brought a halt to the flow of people across Serbia and left hundreds stranded at the fence. If an exit into Hungary becomes impossible, the number of refugees here may begin to rise, challenging not only the country's capacity for dealing with asylum seekers but its citizens' hitherto admirable tolerance and empathy. The government's Commissariat for Refugees has told the BBC that it is expecting more people to stay longer in Serbia. It has been preparing extra spaces at its existing asylum centres and is in the final stages of preparing several additional facilities. But that might not be enough if Hungary carries out its proposal to send rejected asylum seekers back to Serbia - an idea that has not gone down well with Belgrade. Social Affairs Minister Aleksandar Vulin has said that Serbia would not accept any people that Hungary attempts to return under duress. The UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) is backing Serbia on this issue. It says Hungary is wrong to classify its neighbour as a "safe country" for asylum seekers - as Serbia does not have the capacity to deal with a large number of refugees. A spokesperson said: "It can't be expected to solve a problem the whole of Europe has failed to resolve." In Belgrade, the informal transit camp next to the city's main bus station is quieter than it has been for weeks, with just a scattering of tents in the park. Volunteers say many people left for the Hungarian border in a last-gasp dash to beat the barricade. But more may come from Macedonia to replace them before long. Another possibility is that people will simply find another route into the EU's passport-free Schengen area. Serbia has borders with many countries, including EU member states Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia. Unlike Hungary, none of the three are yet in the Schengen zone. Authorities in the Croatian capital, Zagreb, are preparing for migrants to try their luck. Croatia's Assistant Minister for European Affairs, Maja Bakran Marcich, told the BBC it was "a crazy situation" but that so far its borders with Serbia and Hungary were quiet. "We are getting ready even though it's calm," said Ms Bakran Marcich. "Things are moving fast. You cannot hermetically close a border and we are obviously aware that you can make a detour via Croatia and back into Hungary." Croatia's preparations include bolstering its border police and ordering additional fingerprinting machines for the registration of asylum seekers. "Croatia would not just allow people to move through," she said. "They would be stopped and returned at the Slovenian and Hungarian borders in any case. We would accommodate people, register them and see if they wanted to stay in Croatia or move on." "We could absorb the immediate wave, and then we'd have to see. This is just the beginning." Conservative MP for Monmouth David Davies believes dental tests could be carried out to confirm their age - despite professionals saying they would prove inconclusive. But how do officials go about verifying the age of child migrants at the moment? We look at the process of making sure the children who come to the UK are under 18. "These don't look like 'children' to me. I hope British hospitality is not being abused," wrote Mr Davies on Twitter after seeing photographs in the media of 14 male migrants, mainly from Syria and Afghanistan, who have been allowed into the UK to join their families. He was backed up by UKIP MEP Jane Collins, who also tweeted to say those arriving from the Jungle camp in Calais - said by the Home Office to be aged between 14 and 17 - "look very mature for their age". But the Home Office says it works closely with the French authorities to establish whether any children are eligible to come to the UK before they arrive. Under the EU-wide Dublin regulation, unaccompanied child asylum seekers can ask for their claims to be heard in the UK if they have close relatives in the country. Mr Davies, MP for Monmouth, has said a dental test could be one way of making sure anyone looking to come to the UK as a child refugee has a more accurate age estimation. But dental evidence is said not to be totally reliable, with experts pointing out it is possible to wrongly estimate someone's age by up to three years when making an estimate based on such criteria. Professor of medical statistics at the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, Tim Cole, said these tests were "very inaccurate." He said: "If you test children around the age of 18, or three years either side, in this way, the results get one third of the ages wrong." "When people are much older, say 30 or 40, it can be a lot more accurate. But if you think of puberty and what different rates children develop at, you can see how wrong the tests can be." The Royal College of Paediatricians said the margin of error can sometimes be as much as five years either side with medical tests. However, it also cautions against accepting medical evidence in support of a claim by child asylum seekers themselves. "All available sources of relevant information and evidence should be considered, since no single assessment technique, or combination of techniques, is likely to determine the applicant's age with precision," states government guidance. "On age we use a number of determining factors," explains a Home Office spokesman. These include whether the asylum seekers have provided credible and clear documentary evidence proving their claimed age and that they have a "physical appearance or demeanour which does not strongly suggest they are significantly over 18 years of age". He added: "We also ensure that we meet our safeguarding obligations as first responders who identify potential child trafficking and child slavery victims in the UK. "We are trying to assess they are definitely not an adult." Advice from the Home Office says anyone considered to be "borderline" should be subject to the Merton test. This is used by local authorities to assess the age of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children before providing accommodation or support, and needs to be signed off by two trained social workers. "In general, the decision maker must seek to elicit the general background of the applicant, including the applicant's family circumstances and history, educational background, and the applicant's activities during the previous few years," it says. "Ethnic and cultural information may also be important. If there is reason to doubt the applicant's statement as to their age, the decision maker will have to make an assessment of the applicant's credibility, and he will have to ask questions designed to test the applicant's credibility." On Wednesday, the Home Office also tried to allay fears by promising additional age checks, such as undergoing further interviews about their background and taking their finger prints to cross check with other records which may contain their age details. Their relatives in the UK may also be interviewed to assess their age. But sources told the BBC that it is extremely unlikely any would then be returned to Calais as they would be able to claim asylum in the UK regardless of the age. The Refugee Council has said it is concerned by media coverage questioning the appearance of those admitted to the UK on Monday. Judith Dennis, policy manager at the charity, said: "It is not possible to judge how old someone is by looking at them, and most people understand that teenagers' appearances vary widely. "The agencies involved in this exercise will have the safety of all children in mind and we would ask that the privacy of these vulnerable young people is respected." But speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Davies stood by his opinion and said the public had been given the wrong impression that we would be welcoming "very young children." He added: "What we seem to have here is young men who may be under 18 or may be over 18, it's very hard to say. "That's why I've suggested that perhaps we should use age checks, dental checks, to just verify that. At the end of the day, we do need to make sure the public have confidence in the system." The Blitzboks scored four tries in a 26-14 victory over the defending World Series champions to claim their fifth Dubai title. England finished third after beating Wales 38-10 in the bronze final. Meanwhile, Scotland finished sixth after losing 19-12 to Australia in their play-off. The 79-year-old said he was standing down as the head of world football's governing body less than two weeks ago, just four days into his fifth term. A new president was expected to be elected, probably in mid-December. But a source close to Blatter has told the BBC the Swiss could make an audacious bid to stay on if no suitable alternative candidate emerges. "Everything is open," said the source. Blatter will hold meetings over the coming days when he will gauge whether he still retains enough support to seek an astonishing sixth term as president. Fifa has officially referred inquiries over Blatter's intentions to his resignation speech on 2 July, in which he promised to start work on new reforms and said "I shall not be a candidate" in the next election. However, in 2011 Blatter also claimed his fourth term would be his last, only to renege on the pledge. It is now possible he could attempt a similar, but even more controversial U-turn. Any attempt by Blatter to cling to power will be met with fierce opposition in the wake of the FBI-led corruption investigation that has plunged Fifa into turmoil and seen the arrest of several senior football officials. Many critics have demanded that Blatter steps down immediately, rather than wait until an extraordinary meeting of the Fifa Congress in the winter. Many feared he would use his remaining months in charge to try to ensure the election of a favoured successor. Now it appears he may choose to sensationally stand himself. Tellingly, the man entrusted to lead Fifa out of its latest crisis has appeared to warn Blatter not to rethink his resignation. Domenico Scala, chairman of Fifa's audit and compliance committee, said it was "indispensable to follow with the initiated process of the president's change as has been announced". The statement was in response to a report in Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag that Blatter had not ruled out remaining in office after receiving support from football officials in Africa and Asia. But Scala, who has been given the task of overseeing the election of Blatter's successor, said: "For me, the reforms are the central topic." His statement is the first sign of potential tension between the pair. One of the reforms Scala has recommended, as well as greater financial transparency and a new governance structure, is three terms of a maximum 12 years in total for both the president and Fifa executive committee members. Blatter has already served 17 years as the sport's most powerful figure. Campaign group New Fifa Now has insisted an independent reform commission is the only means of ensuring meaningful changes to the way football is run. Ever since he announced his resignation, those vying to replace Blatter have been considering when to make their move. If he does stand again, he may look to present himself as the best means of avoiding one confederation - such as Uefa - gaining excessive power. Twenty years after he was knighted by the Queen, Sir Paul has been bumped up the honours list for services to music. Former Liverpool boxer John Conteh, 66, is also being honoured with an MBE for services to boxing. The former world light-heavyweight champion who held the title between 1974 and 1978 expressed surprise and said "it's an absolute privilege". "I never even thought about the possibility of getting an honour - where I grew up the only letters you got were from the DHSS," he said. He remains a respected figure in the sport for his charity work and his involvement with the London ex-Boxers' Association. Conteh, who began boxing at the age of 10, added: "Here I am today, still involved in the sport and with all these letters after my name. I've got the WBC and now I've got the MBE - how much more could I possibly want?" Sir Paul, who was knighted in the Queen's 1997 New Year Honours, will now be able to wear the initials CH after his name. Founded in 1917, the Order of the Companions Honour is awarded for service of conspicuous national importance and is limited to 65 people. The man who, with John Lennon, wrote some of the most popular songs in history has had the most successful solo musical career of The Beatles and is now treated as rock royalty. Other Merseyside appointments include Angela Paget, formerly head teacher at St Bede's Catholic Junior School in Widnes who is appointed OBE. Prof Anthony Colin Fisher, from Royal Liverpool University Hospital, becomes an MBE for services to medical physics while Richard Michael Twemlow becomes an MBE for services to scouting in Wirral. Police detective Tracy O'Hara, a leading figure in Merseyside police's gay and lesbian support network, has received the Queen's Police Medal. A further 20 have been rated as requiring further improvement. Adrian Hughes, CQC deputy chief inspector, said from 1 April those services rated inadequate would be placed into special measures with a requirement to take action to improve, or face further enforcement. In a statement, Kent County Council (KCC) said most care homes were privately owned but when concerns were raised about the standards of care provided they would be subject to KCC sanctions. Substitute Harry Beautyman knocked Matt Taylor's corner back across goal and Richards stuck out a foot to flick the ball home at the far post. That brought an end to Oxford's eight-game unbeaten run, but the U's only had themselves to blame with some wayward shooting and poor decision-making in the final third, as they failed to find the net at home for the first time this season. Northampton created the better of what few chances there were in the opening hour. Taylor's stinging shot from 20 yards was too hot to handle for U's goalkeeper Simon Eastwood but his defenders were on hand to clear. Cobblers centre-half Lewis Nyatanga unbelievably headed a Taylor corner over the bar from just five yards. At the other end Chris Maguire threatened from free-kicks and the Scot also forced Adam Smith into a smart save down at his right post, but Oxford struggled to get beyond the visitors' well-marshalled defence. In the second half it was again Northampton who almost broke the deadlock, Paul Anderson somehow failing to turn in a Richards header back across the face of the goal.

RTÉ says the incident happened on Wednesday evening about 40 nautical miles west of Valentia. The Valentia Lifeboat is at the scene, but the Shannon-based rescue helicopter was forced to leave the area due to poor visibility. The Irish naval vessel LÉ Aisling is expected to join the search early on Thursday morning with the rescue helicopter crew also due to return. However, I am told that the wording is still very much a work in progress. Diplomats from the three allies are said to be discussing the questions of "what, where, when, who and how" - in other words what weapons should be removed from Syria, where should they be taken to, according to what timetable and who should supervise their removal and destruction. There is also a discussion about what type of UN resolution should be tabled. A so-called chapter 7 resolution is binding and is seen as authorising military action if other measures do not succeed. The Russians have proved resistant to any such proposal. In the Kremlin they believe that the UN resolution which created a no-fly zone above Libya was exploited by Britain, France and America to allow the toppling of Colonel Gadaffi's regime. They might prefer a resolution under the UN's Chapter 6 - entitled "Pacific Settlement of Disputes" - which stipulates that peaceful methods should be used to resolve disputes. When David Cameron spoke to MPs he made clear his scepticism about Russia's intentions and revealed that President Putin had not raised the idea with him at the G20 summit last week. He told MPs: "If we can achieve the removal and the destruction of the biggest chemical weapons arsenal in the world, that would be a significant step forward. "So it is definitely worth exploring but we must be sceptical, we must be careful, we must enter this with a very hard head and some pretty cool calculations, because we do not want this to be some delaying tactic, some ruse to just buy time for a regime that must act on chemical weapons." The Western allies have always wanted a UN process which either fails - allowing them to say that there is no choice but to take military action - or one that succeeds and specifically authorises it. Action Fraud said 3,543 people reported falling victim to dating scams in 2014-15. It said dating sites "very rarely" vet members to prevent fraud. Commander Chris Greany, national police lead for economic crime, said the crime was "reprehensible" and that some victims had lost "everything". Scams included asking for travel costs or to pay medical bills, police said. They said victims were often contacted through dating websites and befriended by fraudsters before requests for money were made. The warning comes as part of a campaign to identify "common fraud myths". The 13-day campaign - which is being organised by Action Fraud and the City of London Police - warns that dating fraudsters are often "particularly convincing", especially if victims already think they have been vetted by dating websites. Cdr Greany, who will be overseeing the campaign, said sums stolen in dating fraud ranged from small to "huge" amounts. Cdr Greany said: "It is a reprehensible criminal act which preys on one of the oldest human emotions, which is love. "Fraud does seem to be on the increase and with dating fraud we can definitely say it has gone up in the last year." He added: "Dating websites are all good and sometimes they help people find partners but people need to be circumspect about what they find. "There are some very tragic examples where people have sent everything they have and now they have got nothing." Organisers of the campaign say the absence of checks by some dating websites can make it "even easier for the fraudster to manipulate their victim". A City of London Police spokeswoman said: "The reality is that most dating websites allow people to sign-up to the website without vetting checks, which means that fraudsters are able to use the website to target people online and defraud them." The Online Dating Association said sites took a range of steps to vet people. "Every ODA member is committed to a code of practice that includes a responsibility to examine the profiles of those joining services in order to disrupt possible scammers. Members use skilled staff and dedicated software tools to do this work." Update 9 November 2015: This story has been updated to include a comment from the online dating sector. In the video, Abubakar Shekau says his fighters shot down an air force jet that went missing three weeks ago. Last week, the military claimed a man posing as the Boko Haram leader in videos had been killed and in August 2013 said that Shekau may be dead. Security analysts have questioned the credibility of the military's claims. Nigeria journalist Ahmad Salkida, who has good contacts within Boko Haram, said on his Twitter account last week that he had it "on authority that Shekau is well and alive". Is it is not clear when or where the video, obtained by the AFP news agency, was made. But the BBC's Hausa Service editor, Mansur Liman, says the man speaking appears to be the same Abubakar Shekau in other Boko Haram videos. Analysis: Will Ross, BBC News, Nigeria In the video a heavily bearded man stands on the back of a pick-up truck firing an anti-aircraft gun into the air. He mocked the Nigerian military for reporting that he had been killed and was surrounded by heavily armed masked gunmen. The Nigerian military has recorded some recent success against Boko Haram after preventing the town of Konduga, near Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, from falling into the jihadists' hands. But towns and villages are still under the militants' control and reports that Abubakar Shekau is still alive will once again make it hard for people to believe the information coming from the Nigerian military. Previous assertions about Shekau's demise have been followed a few weeks later by such video message denials. Thousands of people have died during Boko Haram's five-year insurgency - and three states in the north-east have been under a state of emergency for more than a year. The militant group has changed tactics in recent months, holding on to towns in the north-east, where most people are Muslims, rather than carrying out hit-and-run attacks. In August, Boko Haram declared an Islamic state in areas it controls - which Shekau refers to in the 36-minute video. "Here I am, alive. I will only die the day Allah takes my breath," he says, mocking the military's "propaganda". "We are running our caliphate, our Islamic caliphate. We follow the Koran... We now practise the injunctions of the Koran in the land of Allah," he says, referring to Sharia punishments. Who are Boko Haram? Who are Boko Haram? Profile: Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau The video contains images of extreme violence, including graphic scenes of an amputation, a stoning to death and a beheading. It also shows the wreckage of a jet that went missing in the north-east on 12 September. Meanwhile, a court martial has begun of Nigerian of 97 soldiers, including 16 officers, who are alleged to have refused orders to fight against the insurgents. It comes two weeks after 12 soldiers were sentenced to death for mutiny, after shots were fired at their commanding officer in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri in May. "Boko Haram" means "Western education is forbidden" in Arabic, and the group frequently attacks schools and colleges, which it sees as a symbol of Western culture. Their abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls from a boarding school in April sparked global outrage. Two women in their 20s reported being followed in Maida Vale by a teen who tried to engage them in conversation before inappropriately touching them. The first assault happened on 1 June on Kilburn Park Road while the second was on 17 June on nearby Saltram Crescent. Both occurred at about 22:00 BST. Police believe the assaults are linked and arrested the boy in Kilburn. A large explosion has been heard and frightened students barricaded inside rooms in the building say they can hear gunfire close by. At least one person has died and at least 12 are injured, officials say. Police have described the attack, which began at about 19:00 local time (14:30 GMT), as "complex" and have deployed special forces. The university president, Mark English, told AP news agency that a militant attack was underway and "we are trying to assess the situation". An interior ministry official said he thought several gunmen, some with suicide vests, were involved. Peace remains a distant dream in Afghanistan Viewpoint: The toll of terror in Afghanistan and Pakistan US to keep most troops in Afghanistan, Obama says Student Ahmad Mukhtar told the BBC that he was 100m (320ft) away from the university's main entrance when he heard "six or 10" shots and a "huge" blast. The explosion created so much light that it momentarily lit up the surrounding area, he said. Then there were was more firing inside the campus. He added that he had also heard students shouting. "I climbed a six-metre wall to escape," Ahmad said. Another student told AFP news agency he was stuck inside his class with other students. "I heard explosions, and gunfire is going on close by," he said by telephone. Other trapped students were tweeting or posting on Facebook desperate pleas for help. Among them was Massoud Hossaini, a Pulitzer prizewinning photojournalist - though he was later reported to have escaped. The attack comes two weeks after two university staff - one American, one Australian - were kidnapped by unknown gunmen. Their whereabouts remain unknown. The university, which first opened its doors to students in 2005, is a non-profit private university chartered in the US. It offers English courses, adult professional qualifications and bachelor degree programmes, among others. About 1,700 students are enrolled; many are adults who study part-time and also have jobs. Lloyd Williams is on the bench, meaning Mike Phillips is not in the match 23. Tomas Francis starts at tight-head prop, Scott Baldwin at hooker with Gethin Jenkins at loose-head, while Samson Lee is named on the bench. Full-back Liam Williams has recovered from his thigh knock, with George North and Hallam Amos - preferred to Alex Cuthbert - on the wings. Captain Sam Warburton packs down at open-side flanker in a tried and tested breakaway trio of Dan Lydiate and Taulupe Faletau, so Justin Tipuric provides back-row cover on the bench. Alun Wyn Jones and Bradley Davies are the lock pairing, while Jamie Roberts and Scott Williams line up in the centre to take on England rivals Sam Burgess and Brad Barritt. Scarlets tight-head Lee was an injury doubt but is fit enough to be named among the replacements, although there is no Paul James, who is suffering from a calf strain. Instead, Aaron Jarvis and hooker Ken Owens are the other front-row reserves, while lock Luke Charteris, fly-half Rhys Priestland and Cuthbert are the other bench members. British and Irish Lion Phillips was called into Wales' World Cup squad just over a fortnight ago when Rhys Webb suffered a tournament-ending foot injury, but will have to wait to win his 100th Test cap. Instead Scarlets number nine Davies - the Pro12's top try scorer in the 2013/14 season - will make only his second start for Wales. News of Newport Gwent Dragon Amos' selection came on his 21st birthday.

"Saturday is a huge occasion for both teams and for the tournament and we are really looking forward to it," said Wales head coach Warren Gatland. "Both sides kicked their tournament off with a bonus-point win but we know we will need to step up at Twickenham on Saturday."

On Thursday, the government announced it would relax the rules to allow all couples to have two children. It said the decision was made because of China's rapidly ageing population and to help support the economy. However, officials have stressed that the one-child policy will continue to be enforced until the law is changed. China's controversial one-child policy was introduced nationally in 1979 to slow the population growth rate, and is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births. Though there were exceptions to the policy, most couples who violated it faced punishment, from fines and the loss of employment to forced abortions. On Friday, a local official was quoted as saying that women pregnant with a second child would no longer be punished, suggesting that the new policy was already effective. More on China's one-child policy: Will the policy affect China's single mothers? Growing up alone Five figures that sum up the policy Trauma and sympathy Your stories However, on Sunday, the National Health and Family Planning Commission said that local officials should continue to implement existing family planning laws until the two-child policy was ratified by lawmakers in March. "The two-child policy must be implemented in accordance with the law," an official with the commission said in a statement (in Chinese). Until the new law was adopted, local officials "must seriously enforce existing policies" and "must not act of their own accord", the statement added. The government estimates that 90 million couples will be eligible for the new two-child policy. Correspondents say that despite the relaxation of the rules, many couples may opt to have only one child, as one-child families have become the social norm. What was the one-child policy? What was China's one-child policy? About 500 police officers, backed by dog units, a helicopter and coastal patrol boats are involved. A police operation was also launched in the southern Calabria region, a hotbed of 'Ndrangheta Mafia crime. The Rome crackdown, focused on the coastal suburb of Ostia, is said to be the largest yet in or near the capital. Three crime clans are being targeted. Italy's Corriere della Sera says a "mortal blow" has been delivered to the Fasciani, Triassi and D'Agati clans, who have dominated organised crime for years in that region. The Triassi clan is reported to have close ties to the Sicilian Cosa Nostra crime network. Police had been able to monitor the mafiosi not only as they met to settle disputes and divide up territory, but also as they planned murders, Italian media report. The operation in the south led to 65 arrests, including doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs, in the town of Lamezia Terme, Italy's Ansa news agency reports. As part of that operation Senator Piero Aiello, a member of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right People of Freedom (PdL) party, is under investigation, Ansa reports. Police seized 200m euros' (£173m; $266m) worth of assets from five businessmen, suspected of involvement with the Giampa clan of the Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta crime network. The suspects include Gianpaolo Bevilacqua, vice president of the company that runs Lamezia Terme airport and a former provincial councillor for the PdL. The Giampa clan is suspected of an insurance fraud, used to fund arms and drugs and to pay mafiosi. Police are also investigating murders committed in a clan war that raged in 2005-2011. The 'Ndrangheta is now reckoned to be Italy's most powerful mafia, having overtaken Sicily's Cosa Nostra. The 'Ndrangheta operates across Europe and has connections with Colombian drug cartels. "Not a chance", according to China's vocal netizens - who have expressed scorn and scepticism about the Economist Intelligence Unit's improved rankings for Chinese cities in 2015. According to the annual report, Beijing and other Chinese cities have climbed up the table "largely due to a lower threat from civil unrest". "Let me tell you all a joke: Chinese cities are among the most liveable in the world," commented Weibo user Xiang Xueyee. "Don't take this list seriously. The men who made it probably never lived in China," said another. Here's what else Chinese netizens had to say. The Chinese capital rose five places this year, to become the world's 69th most liveable city. "Beijing is our most liveable city? They must be joking. Maybe for someone functioning without lungs," remarked Guangdong Weibo user Liew Jia Kit. "Pollution everyday? This must be black humour," said another. Other Weibo users like Jeff Chang felt there were Chinese cities "more deserving" of making the list. "Why not Hainan island? It's beautiful. And definitely free from smog," he said. China's north-eastern port city of Tianjin, which was hit by deadly chemical explosions last week, also made an appearance on the 2015 list. But its surprise entry took many Chinese netizens by surprise. "How did Tianjin even make the list? Where were the surveyors last week? Mars?" asked one Weibo user. Other users felt that even with the ongoing recovery efforts, Tianjin city was still an unexpected choice. "Devastation aside, transportation in Tianjin is terrible! What a strange choice," remarked another user. Other Chinese cities ranked in the report include the coastal cities of Qingdao, Dalian, Shenzhen and Shanghai, and the inland cities of Suzhou and Guangzhou. Reporting by Heather Chen The body will deal with "cybersecurity incidents" of national significance. It will also provide advice and alerts on cyber-threats to government, industry and academia. Speaking at the launch, Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude said that 93% of large corporations had had "a breach" over the past financial year. The attacks cost on average between £450,000 and £850,000, he added. The minister also repeated the claim that one London-based company had suffered a security breach which cost it "£800m worth of revenue". But, he said, cybersecurity also presented an opportunity. It was "an essential feature of - and a massive opportunity for - the UK's economic recovery". Many countries around the world now have their own CERT, a crucial component in the sharing of information to prevent cyber-attacks. The government says it has allocated £860m to the UK's cybersecurity efforts. However, figures were not available for the current budget specifically for CERT-UK, which will be based in London and will consist of a team of 55 people. According to its website, cert.gov.uk, CERT-UK would issue an alert and appropriate guidance in the exceptional event of a critical national cybersecurity incident. Providing advisory notices of "cybersecurity issues being detected across government, industry or academia" would be another function. However the organisation has no law enforcement role or powers - its primary role is co-ordination and information-sharing. Although CERT-UK had its official launch today, director Chris Gibson, formerly the director of e-crime at global bank Citigroup, was appointed in November and work has been in progress for some months. A particular focus of the organisation will be the protection of companies seen to be part of the critical national infrastructure, such as banks, and power generation and distribution firms. National Grid spokesman Steve Collins described the launch of CERT-UK as a "milestone". It will also provide a single point of contact for co-ordinating international responses to computer security incidents - a move welcomed by other countries' cybersecurity teams. Ozzy's problems came to light when handler PC Paul Huggett noticed a "blue tinge" in his eyes. Cataracts were diagnosed by a vet but police decided to "give him a chance" and sanctioned the expensive treatment. PC Huggett said without the operation, Ozzy would have had to retire from his job tracking down contraband drugs, weapons and cash. Read more on this and other stories from Cambridgeshire The dog has now returned to work and on his first assignment found "50 rocks of crack cocaine in Peterborough". Ozzy, who is eight, is part of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire dog unit and is based in Alconbury, Cambridgeshire. Cataracts are cloudy patches that develop in the lens of the eye and can cause blurred or misty vision. If untreated the condition is likely to deteriorate. PC Huggett, who has had Ozzy since the dog was six months old, said: "[Police dogs] use their nose to search, but Ozzy still needs to see where he's going. "We had a meeting with the bosses and it was decided we would give him a chance. "He's a very good dog, he's a natural searcher." The cost of the procedure was in excess of £3,000. Specialist Newmarket-based vets Dick White Referrals carried out the operation and nursed Ozzy back to health. "We did a lot of research about where he should go to get the best care and aftercare," PC Huggett said. The commuter was badly injured after he was struck at Kentish Town station in north London on Wednesday. British Transport Police (BTP) said a 29-year-old from Colindale, north-west London, was detained after he voluntarily attended a police station. He is currently in custody and being questioned by officers. More on this story and other news from London The passenger was treated at the scene by London Ambulance staff before he was taken "as a priority" to a hospital in central London. His condition is not known. After the incident, witness Verity Slattery tweeted: "I feel physically sick... in utter shock and disbelief. I just hope the guy will be OK. Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family." Commuters at the station told the BBC earlier the incident was probably a "one-off" but they would exercise more caution when using the underground. Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan, said: "It will probably make me change the way I behave on the platform. I think [gates] on the Jubilee Line would be a good idea. It makes it a lot safer." "When it happened we were quite shocked and appalled," said Claire Turmel, 29, who works on a nearby coffee stall. "Maybe I will stand a bit further back on the platform than usual. I think it's a one in a million." However, others said little could be done to prevent a similar situation happening. Sales consultant Chris Wyburd, 52, said: "It's like everything - standing in front of a zebra crossing someone might push you. Are you going to put barriers everywhere?" Mark Young, 55, vicar at St Andrew Holborn, who has lived in the area for eight years, said: "These things happen living in a city mixed up with all sorts of people. There are bound to be people who are maybe unwell. "They are in the midst." Sally Keable has worked on a nearby fruit and vegetable stall for 10 years. Asked if she would change her travel habits, she said: "You are more likely to get pushed on the tracks at Oxford Circus during the Christmas rush." BTP confirmed a 29-year-old man from Colindale, London, is being questioned over the incident. The 832 Moroccans, who were hired as private contractors in the 1970s, were denied "railway worker" status and the accordant benefits, a court found. Nearly all of them were awarded damages by the court, with the settlements ranging between €150,000 and €230,000. Many of them waited more than a decade for the outcome of the case. The industrial court, which specialises in workplace conflicts, said that SNCF was guilty of "discrimination in the execution of work contracts" and "in the rights to retirement". The plaintiffs argued that their careers had been stunted and they had received lower pensions than their French counterparts. Even those who later received French nationality and were awarded permanent contracts complained their careers had been deliberately curtailed. There were shouts of joy in the courtroom when the verdict was read out. Ahmed Katim, who was hired as a contractor in 1972, burst into tears, describing the ruling as "restoring dignity to Moroccans". Abdelhadi Fedfane, 66, who was hired as a contractor in 1974, retired in 2010 "broken from head to toe" after decades working outside, on the tracks, repairing wagons. "We trained the youngsters, but we remained mere assistants. It broke our morale," he said. Lawyers for SNCF made no immediate comment on the result. Each plaintiff will be individually informed of their result and the rail company will have a month to appeal. During the trial SNCF's lawyer said the plaintiffs' submission was "imprecise" and argued it was perfectly legal to distinguish between permanent hires and contract workers. Terry Spence, chairman of the Police Federation, said tougher action should have been taken during disturbances, including early use of plastic bullets. Loyalist protests followed Belfast City Council's vote to limit the flying of the union flag from city hall. Scores of police officers were injured and many roads were closed. Two hundred and forty six people have been arrested, 188 of whom have been charged. "There has been a tactical operational failure in how we first handled these public order confrontations," Mr Spence said. "To put it bluntly, we were policing public order in Northern Ireland according to guidelines more appropriate for the rest of the UK," Mr Spence said. "The sight of AEPs (plastic bullets) tends to concentrate the minds of potential rioters. "Too often, it is fear of adverse comment from our politicians that inhibits senior officers from fulfilling their duty of care to the men and women on the ground." Mr Spence said that since July of last year, 448 PSNI officers had been injured as a result of public disorder. According to the PSNI, 147 of those have been injured in violence linked to flag protests. "As a force the PSNI seem to have taken comfort in the mistaken belief that no officers have been seriously injured at these regular scenes of public disorder," he said. "We are not cannon fodder." Chief Constable Matt Baggott previously defended the PSNI decision to allow flag protesters to block roads and take part in illegal parades. He said robust action to clear roads could have resulted in serious public disorder. The chief constable's approach was strongly criticised at the annual conference of the Police Federation in County Down on Wednesday. Mr Spence also condemned the fact that UVF flags have not been removed from several parts of east Belfast. "It is unacceptable to us as police officers, or indeed to the community, that we appear reluctant to enforce the law because of the fear of provoking uncontainable confrontation with the (loyalist paramilitary) UVF bully boys," Mr Spence said. "Our politicians and our police service need to address the perception in the wider community by clearly demonstrating that we are standing up to the UVF as well as the dissident republicans." Mr Spence also criticised some Northern Ireland politicians for their stance on contentious parades. "The police service will do its job, but we would be greatly assisted if elected representatives, especially, understood that they cannot choose which laws they will obey and that the decisions of the Parades Commission are the law," he said. The conference heard Mr Spence describe republican dissidents as a "sad group of misfits who cannot accept that violence in pursuit of any political objective, has no place in any democracy". He said it was only due to good luck and excellent police work that officers had not been injured or killed in recent dissident attacks. Deputy Chief Constable Judith Gillespie said police at the time were put in an impossible situation during the flag protests. "There are things that, perhaps with the benefit of hindsight, if we'd known this was going to go on for so long, if we'd known that certain things were going to happen in between, of course there are things we might have done differently," she said. "But at a strategic level I'm confident we were doing the right things. "I stand by the actions of my officers, both those who were in charge of the operation and those who were on the ground." Justice Minister David Ford, who addressed the conference after Mr Spence, commended the PSNI's policing of flag protests. "It is the good work of police in demonstrating that breaking the law has consequences that has sobered up protesters," he said. He said he wanted to help build a shared future for all the people of Northern Ireland "in which everyone is free to live and learn, work and play, in safety". "The PSNI is central to delivering this vision of a truly united and integrated community and I thank you and all your colleagues for the contribution that they make," he said. "I will continue to work to ensure that politicians live up to their responsibilities and do not demand that police officers have to step in because of failure of leadership elsewhere." The former Nova Centre in Prestatyn shut in February after the trust running it had its funding pulled by Denbighshire council. It has confirmed the revamp will take place from 5 January after agreeing £4.2m in funding in October. Three promenade-side retail units will also be built as part of the plans. "The redevelopment of the Nova Centre is an important piece of the jigsaw in our vision to develop the leisure offer on the coast," said councillor Huw Jones, cabinet lead member for leisure. The work is expected to be complete by July. The Bafta-nominated star plans to focus more on political activism in his home town of Port Talbot. But he clarified reports by the Times Magazine that he was leaving acting behind and going into politics. The 47-year-old said he may eventually put his career on hold, but had not yet decided. In a blog statement Sheen, who has lived in Los Angeles for 14 years, said his decision to focus more on issues in Port Talbot could mean he would have to scale back on his acting work. He said he might even stop acting for a while at some point. Sheen has taken an increasingly vocal role in activism over the past few years, which was sparked by his involvement in staging the National Theatre Wales's production of The Passion in Port Talbot in 2011 over the Easter weekend, involving street performances with more than 1,000 volunteers. Sheen told the newspaper the research and the immersion in the community led to more political engagement "as an absolutely natural progression". On Saturday, in an interview with the Times, he said: "In the same way as the Nazis had to be stopped in Germany in the thirties, this thing that is on the rise has to be stopped. "What I think must be resisted is the re-emerging spectre of fascism in the West. Our democracy must be defended and each of us needs to decide how we can contribute to that effort." The actor has been a contributor to political debate on topics including the NHS, of which he is a passionate supporter, fracking, homelessness, freedom of information and is an ambassador for the United Nation's children's organisation Unicef. He said the recent US election result coming on top of the UK's Brexit vote - which was supported in Port Talbot - heightened thoughts he already had about a return to Wales. "It's not going to look like this in 10 years' time," he said. "Everything has shifted… The dice are being rolled again." Following the article, Sheen later tweeted: "Before this gets ridiculous I said I'm thinking I might start acting less and maybe even stop for a while at some point but don't know yet." He also tweeted that it was not about the decision by the UK to leave the EU but the "general world rise of anti-democratic forces" which he said "must be stopped". He told BBC Wales last year people should be given the power to run communities instead of "career politicians". Sheen moved to Hollywood to be near his then three-year-old daughter Lily with his former partner, British actress Kate Beckinsale. He has previously said once his daughter went to college and he did not "necessarily have to be there then things will change". For the past few years he has been in a relationship with US comedian Sarah Silverman and he admitted he did not know whether the relationship would work across the Atlantic. Joseph Eke, 22, is accused of attacking Harry House at the family home in Broadmayne, Dorset, on 26 May 2016. He is also accused of causing a wound that scarred the little boy's face two months earlier and fracturing his ribs two weeks before his death. Mr Eke denies murder, wounding, actual bodily harm and grievous bodily harm. Winchester Crown Court heard Harry's mother, Lauren O'Neill, had nipped to a shop at 09:27 BST to get washing powder from a store about 100m from her home. Prosecutor Adam Feest QC said, when she came back, she asked Mr Eke to check whether Harry had tidied his room. When Mr Eke returned, he told Ms O'Neill that Harry looked like he was going to be sick, before turning "very white", his lips started turning blue and he became "very droopy", the court heard. Mr Feest said paramedics tried to save Harry but he died in hospital in Dorchester at 11:00 BST. A post-mortem examination showed he had a "potentially fatal" fractured skull. Jurors heard Harry died as a result of a blunt-force impact to the abdomen that split his pancreas in two. The court was told, Mr Eke, of St Lawrence Road, Upwey, Weymouth, had helped with Harry's childcare but feared his ability to cope because he had been beaten as a child. He allegedly told Ms O'Neill Harry cut his face falling on a plate while she was in the store on another occasion on Easter Sunday. The court heard the toddler told his great-grandmother that Mr Eke had pushed him that day creating a slit from his lips to his ear. The trial continues. Claim: The European Union is so corrupt that the European Court of Auditors has not signed off its accounts for 20 years. Reality Check verdict: The Court of Auditors has signed the EU accounts every year since 2007, while pointing out that EU countries, once they receive the EU funds, misuse about 4.4% of the total budget. The EU's accounts are scrutinised by the Court of Auditors, which checks whether they correctly reflect the spending of the EU budget. The latest report, published in 2015 for accounts in 2014, explicitly said that the auditors were "signing off the accounts" as they have done every year since 2007. The Court did point out that some of the funds - 4.4% of the total in 2014 - were not used in accordance with the EU rules. But it stressed that this "is not a measure of fraud, inefficiency or waste", but money that: "should not have been paid out because it was not used in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations". The auditors said typical cases involved roads or airports that attracted insufficient traffic. It is important to stress that around 80% of the EU budget is managed by member states themselves, and not by EU institutions. The EU transfers funds to the national treasuries and then the countries themselves decide which projects to spend the money on. The auditors have called on EU countries to take more care in their spending. In 2014, the court found that €666m (£524m) from the EU fund that is given to countries to finance projects in underdeveloped areas, was "poor value for money". Poland, for example, built three airports, in Lodz, Rzeszow and Lublin, which have received more than €100m of EU funding, but which have not attracted enough customers to keep them in business. In 2012, a mountain lift was constructed in the Sicilian village of Sutera, to improve access to a mountain monastery to attract tourism. The project reportedly received around €2m of EU regional development money. However, due to high operating costs, the lift has never been in use. There are UK-based examples too. In 2008, the Canolfan Cywain rural heritage centre opened in Gwynedd, Wales, after it received £900,000 from the EU structural development fund. It ran into financial difficulties in September 2011 and closed a year later. On 28 April 2016, the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee called on the UK government to improve how it spends EU funds. The committee found that UK departments contribute "additional complexity" to the implementation of EU programmes, especially agricultural and rural development ones, which also drives up errors. The errors have cost the UK government "at least £650m" in penalties, to the European Commission, over the past decade. If the auditors do suspect corruption, they pass the cases to OLAF, the EU's anti-fraud office. According to the latest figures provided by the Commission, fraud affects 0.2% of the EU's annual spending. The estimated cost of fraudulent irregularities was €248m in 2013. For comparison, the UK National Audit Office says fraud across UK government was equivalent to only 0.02% of total expenditure: it ranged from £27.5m to £72.9m, depending on the source, from a total expenditure of £306bn. OLAF says it completed 3,500 investigations, which led to the recovery of more than €1.1bn for the EU budget and a total of 900 years of prison sentences since 1999. A separate NAO report estimated that the Department for Work and Pensions' fraud and error rate was 1.9% and HMRC's was 4.4% on its spending on benefits and tax credits in 2013-14. The report does not say how much was due to fraud and how much was due to error. Read more: The facts behind claims in the EU debate The city featured in the data published by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The health body warned poor air quality caused more than three million deaths around the world every year. A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said it took its responsibility to monitor air quality "very seriously" and its data showed it met air pollution targets in 2015. As air quality declines, the risk of stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and chronic and acute respiratory diseases, including asthma, increases among residents, WHO said. One way the global health body assesses air quality is by examining the levels of a type of pollution known as particulate matter (PMs). Glasgow was one of a number of places which breached the safe limit set for PM10. Port Talbot, Stanford-Le-Hope, London, Scunthorpe, Leeds, Eastbourne, Nottingham, Southampton and Oxford, as well the town of Longford in Ireland, also exceeded the safe level. More than 40 towns and cities across Britain and Ireland breached the safe levels for another measure known as PM2.5. Glasgow and Prestonpans in East Lothian featured on that list. WHO said that across the world 80% of cities that measure outdoor air pollution are failing to meet its guidance for safe levels of air quality. Dr Flavia Bustreo, WHO's assistant director general for family, women and children's health, said: "When dirty air blankets our cities, the most vulnerable urban populations - the youngest, oldest and poorest - are the most impacted." Jenny Bates, Friends of the Earth air pollution campaigner, said air pollution caused 40,000 early deaths a year in the UK. He added: "This is a public health crisis. It's time it was treated that way. "We need fewer and cleaner vehicles with a Clean Air Zone in every city and large town - and politicians must urgently introduce a diesel scrappage scheme to get the worst polluting vehicles off our roads, as well as more investment in alternatives to driving." Dr Penny Woods, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation, said the report was "deeply concerning". "It is clear from this report that the UK is facing an air pollution crisis," she said. "Unfortunately, the government's response so far has been inadequate. Swift action must be taken to reduce pollution levels in the UK and protect our lung health." A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said: "Glasgow has set a target of being one of the most sustainable cities in Europe and we take our responsibility to monitor air quality very seriously. "In fact the latest data for air quality in the city shows that both the Scottish Air Quality Objective and WHO target level for the pollutants PM10 and PM2.5 were met across the city in 2015. "While we have made good progress, we recognise there is more to be done. The council is a key partner in the Scottish government's Clean Air for Scotland Strategy which is intended to define the path to achieving full compliance with the relevant air quality standards over the next few years." A total of 40 towns and cities in the UK and Ireland breached safe levels for fine particles in the air, known as PM2.5, according to WHO. Media playback is not supported on this device The decision follows a three-month review into the governing body's relationship with gambling firms. The FA says it will continue to share important information with companies to identify suspect betting patterns. Chief executive Martin Glenn thanked Ladbrokes for its "professionalism and understanding" on the change of policy. The betting company's chief executive, Jim Mullen, added: "We understand the FA's decision regarding their commercial partnerships on gambling." Mullen said Ladbrokes would continue to work with the FA "to ensure the integrity and trust of the sport is maintained". Football's relationship with gambling has come under recent scrutiny, with midfielder Joey Barton criticising the FA's "dependence on betting companies". Barton, who said he is addicted to gambling, was banned from football for 18 months after admitting an FA charge in relation to betting. Reacting to Barton's ban in April, former Stoke winger Matthew Etherington, who lost £1.5m at the height of his gambling addiction, told BBC Radio 5 live the industry should be better "regulated". "It's very hard and complex, but everyone needs to take a little bit more responsibility - the PFA [Professional Footballers' Association], the players, the FA and the gambling organisations themselves," the 35-year-old said. Media playback is not supported on this device Palace's 1-0 win - their third home victory this season - saw them move out of the Premier League relegation zone. It was Allardyce's second win in nine top-flight games since taking over as manager in December. "The three points are important as it puts us in among the pack and out of the bottom three," Allardyce, said. "It's a great victory. I think the two-week break helped us refocus and that showed - they made a lot of very good decisions. "I see the bottom seven as the Premier League table we need to try and win. There's never been a bigger win than this all season." The win was Allardyce's first home victory in the Premier League since he joined the club and saw his side move up to 17th in the league. The 62-year-old, who has never been relegated from the top flight, praised the support from the home crowd. "Selhurst Park was rocking today. It felt like they really enjoyed the commitment from the players and really got behind us," he said. "If we can achieve more then that would be great but we need to make next week's game against West Brom a game to win." Former striker Jason Roberts, who played under Sam Allardyce at Blackburn, on Final Score "It wasn't a typical Sam Allardyce performance in that they closed down from the front and it required a lot of work rate. They struggled to keep it up in the second half. "But you saw that Sam Allardyce resilience in the side and that defensive solidity - they didn't give away too many chances. In the end it looked like a regulation win but it meant so much. You could see Sam on the sideline getting emotional and getting the crowd with him." In a statement, the bank said by the end of 2020 it would have "sustainably increased its profitability". However, the bank also said it aimed to create 2,300 new posts in areas where its business was growing. Commerzbank's strategy for achieving this will be debated by the bank's board on Friday. Last year, it had about 51,300 employees. The announcement comes amid denials that the German government is working on a rescue plan for Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank, Germany's biggest bank, is facing a $14bn (£10.8bn; €12.5bn) fine in the US for mis-selling mortgage-backed bonds before the financial crisis of 2008. Commerzbank's strategy will see it concentrating on its "core" businesses of "private and small business customers" and "corporate clients" and digitising some processes. As part of the €1.1bn (£948m) restructure, it plans to merge its "Mittelstandsbank", which deals with medium-sized German firms, with its corporates and markets division. Commerzbank may therefore have to write off about €700m in the third quarter of this year. It also intends to "scale back" its investment banking activities, which could The bank said that would "reduce earnings volatility and regulatory risk and will free up capital to be invest in core client businesses". Commerzbank is the second-largest bank in Germany. Yesterday the largest bank, Deutsche, had to deny it had asked the German government for a bailout. Now Commerzbank says its is planning a massive restructuring, involving almost 10,000 job losses and no dividends for shareholders. The restructuring is expected to save billions of euros a year and allow Commerzbank to invest in new sectors of business, creating new jobs in "growth areas". Commerzbank is 15% owned by the German government, which took the stake to help the bank in the middle of the financial crisis in 2008. However, critics say that Germany's banks have been far too slow to deal with the consequences of the credit crunch. Those banks face many similar problems: new competition, the higher cost of new regulations and all at the same time as ultra-low interest rates are hitting profits. Despite the write-offs and higher loan loss provisions because of the weakness in the shipping markets, Commerzbank said it still expected to make a small net profit for 2016 as a whole. It said it would begin talks shortly with employee representatives about the job cuts, which are expected to amount to a loss of 7,300 full-time positions, once the creation of 2,300 new jobs is taken into account. Commerzbank's shares fell by 3% in Franfkurt on Thursday. Meanwhile, shares in Deutsche Bank, which hit their lowest level in 30 years earlier this week, gained 1% on the German stock exchange, following a 2% rise on Wednesday. Despite the gains, however, more of the bank's shares were being "shorted". Investors have been selling stock in Deutsche in the expectation that the bank will need to issue more shares, pushing down the value of existing holdings. They could then buy them back at that lower price and make a profit. Defending champions Saracens face Worcester in the other Twickenham game, while on Sunday Wasps host Exeter in a rematch of last season's semi-final. Gloucester v Leicester and Newcastle v Sale kicks off the 2016-17 season on Friday, 2 September. Bath, currently without a head coach, travel to Northampton on Saturday. Bristol, who return to English rugby's top flight following a seven-year absence, play their first home game against 2014 champions Saints on Sunday, 11 September. A number of teams will again take 'home' matches away from their normal grounds, with Saracens facing Harlequins at Wembley Stadium on 8 April and Bath playing long-standing rivals Leicester at Twickenham on the same day. Twickenham Stadium also plays host to Quins against Gloucester during the Christmas period - bringing back memories of the 39-39 draw at the ground last season. The Anglo-Welsh Cup is set to return for the 2016-17 season, kicking off on the weekend of 4-6 November, with fixtures to be announced later this month. Sarries will go into the season hoping to become the first team to win three successive Premiership titles since Wasps did it between 2003 and 2005. Mark McCall's side also won the European Champions Cup last term - the first English club since Wasps 12 years ago to win the top-flight and European titles in the same season. This campaign, they face Quins in the first London derby on 24 September, before a match on 9 October against Wasps at Allianz Park in one of this season's standout fixtures. Saracens meet Dai Young's side in the return game on the final day. The side with arguably the hardest start of the season is last year's losing finalists Exeter. The Chiefs travel to Wasps - who they overcame in the Premiership semi-finals, but who beat them in a dramatic Champions Cup quarter-final - before hosting champions Saracens. Harlequins visit Sandy Park six days later before a trip to nearest rivals Bristol, who Exeter beat to become a Premiership team in 2010 in the first Championship play-off final. "Exeter against Wasps - every single fixture was an incredible fixture last year, so if you're going to start the season with a fixture why not play Wasps again? We'll want to prove a point, Wasps will want to prove a point," Exeter head coach Rob Baxter told BBC Sport. "I think the atmosphere at Bristol will be fantastic, I'm really looking forward to that game." The return of Bristol to the Premiership means this campaign will be packed full of West Country derbies, with the newly-promoted side travelling to The Rec on 18 November to face Bath, before the return fixture on 24 February. Andy Robinson's side will also be looking forward to facing near rivals Gloucester on 3 December, before bringing them back to Ashton Gate on 26 March. The Cherry and Whites will be hoping to avenge defeat by Bath at Kingsholm last time out on 1 October. Meanwhile, last season's losing finalists Exeter will face home matches against Gloucester and Bath in October after travelling to closest geographical rivals Bristol on 23 September.

After a spell of "beautiful" sunshine, the storm blew in, wreaking havoc on the park and lifting the first aid tent over a marquee and into the arena. No-one was seriously hurt, but the games secretary Shona Hay said the noise was terrifying. "Ten minutes before this we had a beautiful sunny day," she said. "It was just torrential. Everybody ran for cover and a wind seemed to appear from nowhere and lifted our first aid tent and some of the stall holders' tents. "And then the noise was just terrifying - the noise of the wind and the folks screaming." She added: "The wind just swept through the park tearing up the tents, just clearing the arena and everything in its path. It swept through the village and five minutes later it was flat calm again."

The meeting of foreign ministers in Cairo comes on the day a deadline expires for Qatar to accept a list of demands or face further sanctions. The demands to Qatar including shutting down the Al Jazeera broadcaster and scaling down ties with Iran. Qatar has called the list of demands "unrealistic and not actionable". Qatar is accused of destabilising the region by supporting extremism and terrorism - which it denies. In London, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani described the cutting of ties with his country as "a siege that is a clear aggression and an insult". "The answer to our disagreement is not blockades and ultimatums, it is dialogue and reason," he said. The tiny gulf emirate has been under unprecedented diplomatic and economic sanctions from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain. The restrictions have caused turmoil in the oil- and gas-rich nation, which is dependent on imports to meet the basic needs of its population of 2.7 million. On Monday, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies gave Qatar an extra two days to accept their ultimatum for restoring relations, after an earlier 10-day deadline expired. The authorities in Doha have responded to the demands - but no details have been publicly released. Qatar has said the demands break international law. The four countries accuse Doha of harbouring Islamist groups that they consider terrorist organisations - including the Muslim Brotherhood - and giving them a platform on the Al Jazeera satellite channel, which is funded by the Qatari state. Qatar denies the accusations. As a result of the sanctions, Iran and Turkey have been increasingly supplying Qatar with food and other goods. On Tuesday, Qatar announced plans for a steep rise in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production capacity over the coming years. The country is the world's leading producer of LNG. According to Associated Press news agency, which obtained a copy of the list, Qatar must also: The demands have not been officially unveiled. Their publication has increased the friction between the two sides. Twenty others were injured in the crush, on the outskirts of Varanasi, a town sacred to many Hindus. A police officer said that 3,000 devotees were expected at the event but 70,000 showed up. Some of the injured people are in a serious condition in hospital. Of the 19 dead, 14 are women. Raj Bahadur, one of the organisers, told the Press Trust of India news agency that after police started turning people back from an overcrowded bridge, a rumour spread that the bridge was broken and people started to run for safety. According to The Times of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced 200,000 rupees (£2,460; $2,997) compensation for the families of the dead. "I have spoken to officials & asked them to ensure all possible help to those affected due to the stampede in Varanasi," Mr Modi tweeted. Mr Tsipras said a clear vote against austerity would help Greece negotiate a better settlement to the crisis. Otherwise, he warned, he would not stay in office to oversee more cuts. Greece's bailout expires on Tuesday, the same day it faces a deadline to repay a €1.6bn (£1.1bn) loan to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The loan is to be repaid by 18:00 Washington time (22:00 GMT). EU leaders have warned that a rejection of the creditors' proposals on Sunday would mean Greece leaving the eurozone - though Mr Tsipras says he does not want this to happen. Talks between Greece and its creditors broke down last week, leading to Greek banks having to shut this week. The uncertainty also caused stock markets to fall sharply on Monday. Asian markets rebounded on Tuesday, with stock markets in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seoul all rising compared with Monday. Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the Greek parliament in Athens on Monday evening in a show of support for the government's proposals. A rival protest organised by those calling for a yes vote is due later on Tuesday. Speaking live on state TV on Monday evening, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras appealed to Greeks to reject the creditors' proposals, saying this would give Greece "more powerful weapons" to take to the negotiating table. "We ask you to reject it with all the might of your soul, with the greatest margin possible," he said. He told viewers he did not believe the creditors wanted Greece out of the eurozone "because the cost is immense". Mr Tsipras also hinted strongly that he would resign if the result of the referendum was a "yes" vote. "If the Greek people want to proceed with austerity plans in perpetuity, which will leave us unable to lift our head... we will respect it, but we will not be the ones to carry it out," he said. But some eurozone leaders, including the Italian prime minister and French president, voiced their concern on Monday that Greek voters would effectively be deciding next Sunday whether or not they wanted to stay in the eurozone. Meanwhile, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Monday he felt betrayed by the Tsipras-led government and called on Greek voters to oppose him. Mr Juncker said that he still believed a Greek exit from the euro was not an option and insisted that the creditors' latest proposals meant more social fairness. Is Grexit nearer? Katya Adler: A European divide Existential threat to euro from Greek exit A guide to the key numbers and issues The government has already been forced to order all banks to be closed until 6 July after the European Central Bank (ECB) decided not to extend its emergency funding. The ECB is believed to have disbursed virtually all of its ceiling for funds, amounting to €89bn (£63bn). Long queues of people were seen snaking outside ATMs on Monday, with withdrawals capped at just €60 a day. Elderly people, many without bank cards, were seen waiting outside closed bank branches in the hope of getting access to funds. The question which will be put to voters on Sunday will not be as simple as whether they want to stay in the euro or not - instead it asks Greeks to approve or reject the specific terms laid out by Greece's creditors: "Should the agreement plan submitted by the European Commission, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund to the June 25 eurogroup and consisting of two parts, which form their single proposal, be accepted? The first document is titled 'Reforms for the completion of the Current Program and Beyond' and the second 'Preliminary Debt Sustainability Analysis'. "Not approved/NO "Approved/YES" Trying to crack the puzzle of the Greek referendum question Greek debt jargon explained The Athens stock exchange has also been closed as part of the emergency measures. The government said it would make public transport free in the Athens area for a week while the banks are closed. On Monday evening the ratings agency Fitch said it had downgraded its rating of four Greek banks, National Bank of Greece, Piraeus Bank, Eurobank Ergasias and Alpha Bank, to "restricted default". Assistant manager Junior Lewis has also been dismissed, with Neil Redfearn taking over until a permanent replacement is appointed. Hockaday, 56, was a shock appointment in June with his only managerial experience at non-league Forest Green. Leeds were beaten by Bradford in the League Cup on Wednesday after losing 4-1 at Watford on Saturday. Owner Massimo Cellino had been set to fire Hockaday at the weekend but changed his mind and said: "It's too simple to sack him - I am more responsible than him now." But just five days later the former Cagliari owner has done another U-turn and ended Hockaday's unhappy reign, who saw two wins and four defeats. "The results since the start of the season have meant we needed to act and make this decision," said Cellino, who took control of Leeds in April. "After the defeat at Bradford I realised that my decision to keep David at the club following the defeat at Watford was wrong and I had to change my mind on the coaches' position. "As a club we will now begin our search for a new head coach." Leeds's last managerial departure was also in newsworthy circumstances. When Cellino's deal to take the majority shareholding of Leeds from GFH Capital was confirmed in January, Brian McDermott was sacked, only to be reinstated a day later. He eventually left by mutual consent at the end of the season. In 22 years in charge of Italian side Cagliari, Cellino sacked 36 managers. United's next match is at home to Bolton in the Championship on Saturday. Redfearn, 49, will be in the dugout, as he was in the aftermath of Simon Grayson's sacking in 2012, and a year later when Neil Warnock left. A front window of the house in Kirkleatham Lane, Redcar, was smashed before the firework was hurled through just before 22:00 GMT on 31 October. It started a blaze which forced a man, woman and teenage boy to flee. No-one was injured, Cleveland Police said. The arrested man has been bailed pending further inquiries. Allison Smith, 24, was punched by Dr Lee Salter last September who continued teaching for a further 10 months. He was only suspended after his conviction in June and later lost his job. He was sentenced to 22 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 18 months. Sussex University said it would review its employment practices. Ms Smith, who had been in a relationship with Salter who had also been her tutor, said he "punched me and knocked me out...he threw a salt container at my face". "I couldn't get up. He stamped on me and kicked my thighs," she added. Ms Smith said the university should "explain why they chose to allow him to work for ten months". The university confirmed Salter continued to give media and communication lectures between his arrest and conviction and was removed from his position on 13 August. In a statement, it said: "In cases involving criminal charges, it is important such matters are dealt with by the police and the courts, which take precedence over employment procedures. "The University kept the situation under review and monitored and assessed any risk to its students." It said it "does not tolerate violence of any sort" and would be "reviewing all relevant university regulations and procedures". Employment solicitor Alex Kiernan said employers were not required to dismiss an employee accused of a criminal offence, but could do so if they had concerns about the situation. Sussex's incoming vice chancellor Adam Tickell tweeted he would appoint a pro-vice chancellor "for equalities". Salter was found guilty of assault by beating and causing criminal damage to belongings at Brighton Magistrates' Court in June. As well as his suspended sentence he was issued with a restraining order not to contact Ms Smith. He was also fined £2,765 and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work. The 19-year-old said his party, Demosisto, would demand self-determination for Hong Kong. Mr Wong was a leading figure in the so-called Umbrella Movement in 2014, which aimed to secure greater voting rights for the territory's residents. "Street activism is not enough if we want to fight for a better future," Mr Wong told the BBC. "We have to enter the system, create a political party and shape the political agenda, in order to drive forward our movement for self-determination." Although Mr Wong is too young to run for office, Demosisto will put forward candidates in Legislative Council elections in September. His televised arrest in September 2014 helped spark pro-democracy protests that would continue for 79 days, paralysing the heart of the city. But they ultimately failed to win any concessions from the Chinese government. By BBC Hong Kong correspondent Juliana Liu Mr Wong recently disbanded his student activist group Scholarism to pave way for the new party. Its first goal is to contest, and hopefully win, seats in the Legislative Council election in September. Mr Wong himself, not yet 21, is still too young to run. Three fellow party leaders will stand for election in two districts. For his part, Joshua Wong says his party rejects violence, but will continue to engage in street politics. His journey from child activist to party leader has begun. Read Juliana's full analysis A founder of student protest group Scholarism, in 2012, Mr Wong rallied more than 100,000 people to protest against Hong Kong's plans to implement mandatory "patriotic education" in schools. He began his protesting career at just 13, when he demonstrated against plans to build a high-speed rail link between Hong Kong and the mainland. Two years later, he had set up Scholarism, successfully challenged the government and was firmly in the limelight. By 2014 his profile was so high, he held a press conference to announce his university entrance exam results. A former British colony, Hong Kong became a special administrative region of China in 1997. The Commons Defence Committee said it was "insulting" and damaged the integrity of military honours. MPs urged support for a private member's bill which would make wearing unauthorised medals a criminal offence, punishable by prison or a £5,000 fine. The Ministry of Defence said misusing medals for financial gain could already be punished as fraud. The unauthorised wearing of medals was previously made illegal by Winston Churchill after World War One. But when the new Armed Forces Act came into force in 2006, provisions relating to military decorations were not carried over. The Ministry of Defence, which gave evidence to the committee, argued that there had been problems with the way the original legislation was drafted. Anyone improperly using medals for financial gain would be caught by the Fraud Act which carried higher penalties, said the MoD. The defence committee's report, entitled Exposing Walter Mitty, said such laws were "commonplace" in other countries and that the unauthorised wearing of medals constituted "a harm that is worthy of specific criminal prohibition". Explaining the title of the report, the committee's chairman Julian Lewis, said: "Those who seek public admiration by pretending to have risked their lives are contemptible fantasists who need to be deterred." The committee said the impersonators damaged the bond of trust and respect between the public and the armed forces. "We conclude that there is a tangible and identifiable harm created by military impostors against members of society who should rightly be held in its highest esteem," it added. "Therefore, we believe that specific prohibitions to mitigate this harm are justified." Mr Lewis said while other countries have sought to maintain sanctions to deter and punish these fraudsters, the UK has "foolishly disposed of them". Unlike his former counterparts in Tunisia and Egypt, when protests against his government began in March 2011 he gave orders to crush the dissent, rather than tolerate it, and he refused to meet protesters' demands. The brutal crackdown by the security forces did not, however, stop the protests and eventually triggered an armed conflict that the UN says has so far left more than 250,000 people dead. More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to Mr Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from Islamic State (IS). Regional and world powers have also been drawn into the conflict. Iran and Russia are propping up the Alawite-led government militarily and financially, while the Sunni-dominated opposition has attracted varying degrees of support from Gulf Arab states, Turkey and Western countries. Both sides say only a political solution can end the conflict, but a number of attempts to broker ceasefires and start dialogue have failed, with the main sticking point being the fate of Mr Assad. Born on 11 September 1965, Bashar al-Assad was not always destined for the highest office. As the second son of President Hafez al-Assad, he was largely left to follow his own interests. He studied at the Hurriya School in Damascus and at 14 joined the Baath Youth Movement. He graduated from the College of Medicine of the University of Damascus in 1988, intending to pursue a career in this field. Between 1988 and 1992 he specialised in ophthalmology at Tishrin military hospital in Damascus, before going to London to pursue further studies. After the death of his older brother, Basil, in a high-speed car crash in 1994, Mr Assad was hastily recalled from the UK and thrust into the spotlight. He soon entered the military academy at Homs, north of Damascus, and rose through the ranks to become an army colonel in January 1999. In the last years of his father's life, Mr Assad emerged as an advocate of modernisation and the internet, becoming president of the Syrian Computer Society. He was also put in charge of a domestic anti-corruption drive, which reportedly resulted in prominent figures from the old leadership being put on trial. Following his father's death on 10 June 2000, after more than a quarter of a century in power, Mr Assad's path to the presidency was assured by loyalists in the security forces, military, ruling Baath Party and dominant Alawite sect, who removed the last remaining obstacles, such as amending the constitution to allow a 34-year-old to become head of state. He was then promoted to the rank of field marshal, and appointed commander of the armed forces and secretary general of the Baath Party. A July 2000 referendum confirmed him as president with 97% of the vote. In his inaugural address, Mr Assad promised wide-ranging reforms, including modernising the economy, fighting corruption and launching "our own democratic experience". It was not long before the authorities released hundreds of political prisoners and allowed the first independent newspapers for more than three decades to begin publishing. A group of intellectuals pressing for democratic reforms were even permitted to hold public political meetings and publish statements. The "Damascus Spring", as it became known, was short-lived. By early 2001, the intellectuals' meetings began to be closed down or refused licences and several leading opposition figures were arrested. Limits on the freedom of the press were also soon put back in place. For the rest of the decade, emergency rule remained in effect. The many security agencies continued to detain people without arrest warrants and held them incommunicado for lengthy periods, while Islamists and Kurdish activists were frequently sentenced to long prison terms. Any economic liberalisation benefitted the elite and its allies, rather than creating opportunities for all. Many analysts believe that reform under Mr Assad has been inhibited by the "old guard", members of the leadership loyal to his late father. His family is also said to have played a role in encouraging him to suppress dissent, including his brother Maher, the head of the Republican Guard, and his first cousin, Rami Makhlouf, arguably the most powerful economic figure in Syria. In 2007, Mr Assad won another referendum with 97% of the vote, extending his term for another seven years. In foreign policy, Bashar al-Assad continued his father's hardline policy towards Israel. He repeatedly said that there would be no peace unless occupied land was returned "in full", and continued to support militant groups opposed to Israel. His vocal opposition to the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, and the Syrian authorities' tacit support of Iraqi insurgent groups, also prompted anger in Washington, but it was popular in Syria and in the wider region. Syria's already tense ties with the US soured in the wake of the February 2005 assassination of Lebanon's former Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri. The finger of suspicion was immediately pointed at President Assad, his inner circle and the Syrian security services, which dominated Lebanon. Despite their denials of involvement, international outrage at the killing forced Syrian troops to withdraw from Lebanon that April, ending a 29-year military presence. When anti-government protests erupted in the southern city of Deraa in mid-March 2011, President Assad initially appeared to be unsure how to respond, but it was not long before only force was used to combat them. In his first speech, two weeks after the first unrest, he insisted that questions of reform and economic grievances had been overshadowed by a small number of troublemakers and saboteurs who had sought to spread among Syrians, as part of an external conspiracy to undermine the country's stability and national unity. In April, Mr Assad dismissed the cabinet and officially lifted the hated Emergency Law, which had been in place since 1963 and under which security forces detained and tortured people with impunity. But days later, the crackdown against protesters was stepped up. Over the next month, soldiers supported by tanks were sent into restive towns and cities to combat "armed criminal gangs". By mid-May, the death toll had reached 1,000. Despite the security forces' concerted and ruthless efforts, and pledges by President Assad to start a "national dialogue" on reform, the uprising continued unabated in almost every part of the country. Opposition supporters began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and then to oust loyalist forces from their areas. The president denied ordering the military to kill or be brutal in its crackdown on anti-government protesters, saying only a "crazy person" would kill his own people. But in January 2012 he promised in a public address to crush what he called "terrorism" with an "iron fist". The next month, Mr Assad pressed ahead with holding a referendum on a new constitution which dropped an article giving the Baath Party unique status as the "leader of the state and society" in Syria. It also allowed new parties to be formed. The government claimed the charter was approved by almost 90% of voters, but the opposition denounced it as sham. Over the next few months, pressure built on Mr Assad as rebels seized control of large parts of the north and east of the country and launched offensives against Damascus and Aleppo; four top security chiefs were killed in a bombing; and the opposition National Coalition was recognised as "the legitimate representative" of the Syrian people by more than 100 countries. "I was made in Syria. I have to live in Syria and die in Syria," Mr Assad told Russia Today in November 2012. By the end of the year, as the death toll passed 60,000, the president was urged to accept a peace initiative proposed by UN special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi. But Mr Assad ignored the calls and ruled out any negotiations with the rebels, whom he denounced as "enemies of God and puppets of the West". In early 2013, the momentum in the conflict then gradually began shifting in President Assad's favour, as government forces launched major offensives to recover territory and consolidate their grip on population centres in the south and west of the country. They received a major boost when the Lebanese Shia Islamist movement, Hezbollah, began sending members of its military wing to fight the rebels, whose appeals for heavy weaponry were rejected by Western and Gulf allies concerned by the prominence of jihadists linked to al-Qaeda. At the start of August, Mr Assad promised troops in Damascus that they would be victorious. However, he was forced onto the defensive later that month after a suspected chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of the capital that left hundreds dead. The US and France concluded that the attack could only have been carried out by government forces and threatened punitive military strikes. But Mr Assad insisted there was "not a single shred of evidence" supporting their claims and blamed rebel fighters. He also warned Americans there would be retaliation for any punitive military action from Syria and its allies, saying: "Expect everything." In the end punitive strikes were not forthcoming. Following an agreement between the US and Russia, the latter an ally of Mr Assad, the president agreed to allow international inspectors to destroy Syria's arsenal of chemical weapons, a process that was completed in June 2014. After that, international attention largely shifted from Mr Assad to Islamic State militants who were making significant territorial gains in Syria and Iraq. At the same time, Mr Assad's supporters enjoyed success against the disparate rebel forces. In May 2014, the army regained control of previously rebel-held areas of the city of Homs - once a hub of the revolution. The next month, Mr Assad ran for his third-term of office, winning 88.7% of votes cast in government-controlled areas. Though it was the first time anyone other than a member of the Assad family had been allowed to run for office, many dismissed the election as a farce. In the spring of 2015, the government suffered a string of defeats to newly-formed rebel coalitions in the south and north of the country, including the provincial capital of Idlib, as well as to Islamic State in the east. At the start of May, the president made a rare public acknowledgement of the setbacks. But he dismissed them as the ups and downs of a long-term war in which there were hundreds of battles, some won, some lost. But in a televised speech two months later, following further losses, Mr Assad admitted that his forces suffered a chronic manpower problem, and that the rebels were getting increased support from their Saudi, Qatari and Turkish backers. The government, he said, would have to prioritise, and give up some areas rather than risk allowing key positions to collapse. Increasingly worried about Mr Assad's precarious position and the rise of extremist groups, Russia began an air campaign against his opponents in September 2015. Moscow said it was targeting "terrorists", primarily militants from IS, but civilians areas and Western-backed rebels were repeatedly bombed. The next month, in his first foreign trip since the start of the war, Mr Assad held talks with President Putin in Moscow and conveyed his huge gratitude for Russia's military intervention. It says the public must be protected against remotely-controlled drones sharing airspace with regular aircraft. Current rules on small drones could not apply to commercial operators, such as those carrying cargo, Balpa's chief is to tell a House of Lords committee. The government says "robust safety measures" will remain in place. The call from Balpa follows a number of incidents involving drones which have raised safety concerns. A recent report from the UK Airprox Board, which investigates near-miss incidents in UK airspace, said on 30 May one drone may have been flown "deliberately close" to a passenger plane and could have caused a collision. The drone came within 25m (82ft) of a plane coming in to land at Southend airport. The report assessed the risk of collision as "high", and that the drone had been flown close enough to the plane "to cause its pilot concern". Drones, which are officially known as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), range in size from small craft operated by enthusiasts, TV companies, police forces and surveyors and weighing a few kilograms, to larger military devices. Balpa says remote aircraft the same size as small passenger planes could be operated commercially in the UK within 10 years. It says they must meet the same safety standards as piloted aircraft and tough security measures at ground level be in place to ensure they cannot be seized or their computer systems hacked. A full public consultation should also be carried out before government rules on larger commercial drones are introduced. Balpa general secretary Jim McAuslan said: "The UK should become a 'safe drone zone' so we can make the most of the major business and leisure opportunities offered by remotely piloted aircraft, while protecting passengers, pilots and residents. "Large unmanned aircraft, when they come, should be as safe as manned aircraft and the British public should be fully consulted before companies fly large, remotely-piloted aircraft over their homes alongside passenger planes." Dozens of clips appear on the internet showing the aircraft, which can be bought for £300, over populated areas of the UK. Current Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) rules prohibit the flying of large drones over or within 150m of built-up areas and require operators to have permission and demonstrate basic flying skills. Smaller unmanned aircraft, weighing less than 20kg, only need permission from the CAA if they are being used for aerial work or if flown within a congested area or close to people or property. A Department for Transport spokesman said: "Civilian RPAS are closely regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority and are treated in the same manner as equivalent manned aircraft. "Robust safety measures are currently in place to ensure that large RPAS are segregated from other airspace users. We will not allow the integration of RPAS with other air traffic until RPAS can demonstrate that this can be done safely. "The UK is at the forefront of efforts to develop Europe-wide regulations on unmanned aircraft to become a global leader in this field. We are currently looking at how we can further engage with the public on this issue." Eighty-five per cent of all births in private hospitals are Caesareans, while in public hospitals the figure stands at 45%. The World Health Organization says Caesareans should only be carried out when medically necessary and puts the "ideal rate" at between 10% and 15% of births. The reasons behind Brazil's staggeringly high rate of Caesareans are varied, and range from a lack of information among many pregnant women to a preference among some doctors to carry out the surgical procedure. In July, new rules came into force across the country aimed at reducing the rate. Advocates of natural childbirth welcomed the move but pointed to the fact that those women who wanted to give birth naturally often encountered scepticism or even outright hostility from the medical profession. BBC Brasil's Mariana Della Barba spoke to mother-of-four Monica Chiodi Toscano de Campos about her experience. "I was 15 when I got pregnant for the first time," she said. "When my waters broke, the doctor said I needed an emergency Caesarean section. "To be honest, I had no clue about what was going on. At the time I had no choice but to trust him. "He told me my baby was 38 weeks old, but he was not, he was just 36 weeks. "Danilo was born with respiratory distress, developed pneumonia and went straight into the intensive care unit. He eventually got better, but I knew that he was not ready to be born. "During my second pregnancy, I hoped for a natural birth. I was a nurse by then and I had seen a lot of obstetric violence in hospitals. "I saw women giving birth tied to their beds, to prevent them from getting up and walking. Many were also denied the presence of their husbands. "I witnessed other nurses or interns insulting women while they were having contractions. 'When you were making the baby you didn't complain,' they would tell them if they screamed. "I also saw a lot of unnecessary episiotomies [incisions in the perineum] being made, and I thought that was the norm for natural births. "So when the doctor told me I had a placenta problem and without an emergency Caesarean my baby would face foetal distress, I did not question his advice. "Also, in Brazil there is a strong belief in 'once a C-section, always have a a C-section', so Pedro was born at 38 weeks by Caesarean. Again, in my view, an unnecessary one. "By the time I was pregnant with my third child, I knew it did not have to be this way. I did a lot of research into vaginal births after two Caesareans but could not find a doctor willing to assist me. "I went into labour at 38 weeks and 3 days. At the hospital, the doctor on duty told me that after having had two Caesareans, she would perform another one. "She told me that I shouldn't even have gone into labour, because it was too risky. "Alice was born by a C-section and I missed out yet again on my dream of having a natural birth. "I did not think I would become pregnant again, but as soon as I did, I started to look for a medical team which would agree to help me have a vaginal birth. "I found a younger doctor who was up to the challenge, even though he had never helped with a vaginal birth after three C-sections. "We researched the international literature together as there was almost no material about it in Brazil. "I went to the hospital just in the final stage of labour and tried to be as quiet as possible. I could not take the chance of someone interfering with or questioning my doctor. "I had been told some people thought I was crazy for wanting a natural birth and accused me of putting my unborn son's life at risk. "But after a few moments and a really big push, Jose Vitor was born. "He was immediately handed to me and started to breastfeed straight away. And he stayed there for a long time, close to me. "I felt like through his birth I, too, had been born again." The company argued the £1.25m it was told to pay in total was "out of all proportion" to the harm done. In May, Mr Justice Mann awarded damages to eight people including actor Shane Richie and ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne, saying the invasions of privacy were "serious" and "prolonged". The Mirror Group agreed it should pay but had disputed the amounts. Lady Justice Arden, Lady Justice Rafferty and Lord Justice Kitchin upheld Mr Justice Mann's judgment in the Court of Appeal. In court it also emerged there is to be a Victims' Right to Review of the decision on Friday by the Crown Prosecution Service not to charge 10 individuals who worked for Mirror Group Newspapers with phone-hacking offences. Gerald Shamash, the solicitor for Gascoigne and Alan Yentob, the BBC's former creative director, said his clients were "mightily relieved" with the ruling. Actress Sadie Frost won the largest compensation payment - £260,250. Richie, Gascoigne, Mr Yentob, Lucy Taggart, Robert Ashworth, Lauren Alcorn and Shobna Gulati were awarded between £72,500 and £201,250. The compensation to each exceeded the previous record for a UK privacy case - the £60,000 the News of the World was ordered to pay former Formula 1 boss Max Mosley in 2008. Rennie has made 11 signings before his maiden Pro14 campaign, which begins away to Connacht on 2 September. And most of those new recruits will not be lost to Test rugby during the autumn and spring international windows. "There's no doubt that success here at Glasgow has meant a lot of guys have been promoted to the national side - they can be decimated," Rennie said. "So we're going to make sure we have some depth and quality in behind that, and the guys you mention will help." Rennie hopes to have Stuart Hogg available "around October", with the Scotland full-back recovering from shoulder surgery. Warriors suffered several defeats last season when bereft of their international contingent, but players such as prop Oli Kebble, flanker Callum Gibbins and winger Lelia Masaga, arrive from teams in South Africa and New Zealand, and will be available to the 53-year-old for the whole season. New Zealander Rennie started his two-year contract at Scotstoun on Monday, after his Chiefs team were beaten in the semi-finals of Super Rugby. "The key thing initially was we did a lot of recruitment, and a lot of it was around retention," he said. "There were a lot of Scottish international boys off-contract and it was important to keep them here. "Then, [we needed to] set up a quality management group because ultimately with my commitment to the Chiefs, I was going to arrive last-minute. There's been an enormous amount of work done by the coaches and trainers, to hopefully get us in a position where we can be competitive. "Ultimately, you've got to be consistent enough to be in the race at the end of it. You don't need to be the best team in the first three weeks, but you need to be hitting form, and when you get to play-offs, you've just got to be the best team for 80 minutes, three weeks in a row." The culture and ethos Rennie fostered during his six years at Chiefs, where the team were encouraged to learn about and engage with the local community, is a key tenet of his coaching. The two-time Super Rugby champion says a visit from his predecessor Gregor Townsend, the Scotland boss, first piqued his interest in Glasgow. "Gregor spent a couple of weeks with the Chiefs in 2012, so I got to know him pretty well and I've taken a keen interest in Glasgow ever since," Rennie said. "When I had a look at the opportunity here - good people, good culture, Gregor's done a great job, and an aspirational group of men - it was a really good fit. "You've got to create a culture where they are going to work hard for each other, and you've got to play for something bigger than yourselves. That's why we're keen to get around the region and get a real connection. I've always found that's been a big part of it. "The competition that I've come out of has been hugely competitive - we haven't always had the best side, but we've put ourselves in the race every time. The hard work that's been done here in previous years and in pre-season puts us in a good place, but we have to keep developing players. "We're doing a lot of work in regard to the next young guys coming through, some good young kids, so we've set some high expectations of them and hopefully we create a bit more depth in the club." Rennie denied, however, that he regarded an overseas role as a necessary stepping stone to taking on arguably the grandest job in rugby, the All Blacks head coach position. Present incumbent Steve Hansen signed a new deal last year, which will keep him at the helm until the end of the next Rugby World Cup in 2019. "I'm certainly not coming here to position myself for an All Blacks role," Rennie said. "Who knows, Steven Hansen might stay there for another couple of World Cups. "I just saw this as a great opportunity for my wife and me, and a great opportunity to grow. The competition is different; it's refereed differently. It's almost a different type of game at times." In a royal-themed final, she got off to a strong start in the signature bake. Paul Hollywood gave her a handshake when he tried her meringue crown. The technical challenge, a Victoria sandwich cake, was a little tougher for her and she was criticised for her jam. But she pulled it back when contestants were asked to make a selection of picnic items in the showstopper. Mary Berry loved her little pig sausage rolls, and her chocolate and orange cake. In the end, there was a clear winner - and Candice burst into tears when she heard the news. She said she was in "complete and utter disbelief" at beating finalists Jane and Andrew. In honour of her win, we've taken a look back at her most memorable moments from the series. Candice's amazing peacock won her star baker in Tudor Week. She made it out of blue, yellow and green marzipan and it definitely wasn't marzi-panned! Paul told her: "You ticked all the boxes and then some. Exceptional." Eagle-eyed Bake Off fans will remember that last year's champion, Nadiya, also made a peacock cake... Candice won another star baker in Biscuit Week, when she used gingerbread to create the pub that her parents ran as a child. It included a pool table, a darts board and even a sticky ginger floor! From sticky floors to lipstick... Candice has become known for wearing a different shade of lippy every week - and her bold choice of colours. One week, Mel even put on her lipstick for her! Candice made a beautiful Four Seasons showstopper cake in Botanical Week. For the winter layer, she made a fruitcake from her late nan's handwritten recipe. It hasn't all been plain sailing for Candice. She was left in tears after a disastrous Bread Week, with Paul criticising her chocolate loaf. But that hasn't stopped her from "rising" to the top and becoming the ultimate star baker. Congrats to Candice! The painting, on a wall of The Oxford pub in Totterdown, was one of street artist Andy Council's pieces inspired by dinosaurs. When it was painted over, regulars from the pub began a crowd-funding campaign to have it repainted. Mr Council is spending the weekend adding new designs to the pub's walls. "When I heard it had been painted over I thought it was funny because it was an accident and you do come to expect it," he said. Mr Council has also painted murals at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and has a model in the Bristol M Shed museum. The Uighurs are Muslims. They regard themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations. The region's economy has for centuries revolved around agriculture and trade, with towns such as Kashgar thriving as hubs along the famous Silk Road. In the early part of the 20th Century, the Uighurs briefly declared independence. The region was brought under the complete control of communist China in 1949. Xinjiang is officially designated an autonomous region within China, like Tibet to its south. Activists say central government policies have gradually curtailed the Uighurs' religious, commercial and cultural activities. Beijing is accused of intensifying a crackdown after street protests in Xinjiang in the 1990s, and again in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Over the past decade, many prominent Uighurs have been imprisoned or have sought asylum abroad after being accused of terrorism. Mass immigration of Han Chinese to Xinjiang had made Uighurs a minority in Xinjiang. Beijing is accused of exaggerating the threat from Uighur separatists in order to justify repression in the region. China's central government says Uighur militants are waging a violent campaign for an independent state by plotting bombings, sabotage and civic unrest. Since the 9/11 attacks in the US, China has increasingly portrayed its Uighur separatists as auxiliaries of al-Qaeda, saying they have received training in Afghanistan. Little evidence has been produced in support of these claims. More than 20 Uighurs were captured by the US military after its invasion of Afghanistan. They were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for years without being charged with any offence and most have now been resettled elsewhere. Almost 200 people died in ethnic riots in Urumqi, the administrative capital of Xinjiang, in July 2009. One of the sparks for the violence seems to have been the deaths of two Uighurs in clashes with Han Chinese at a factory thousands of miles away in southern China. The authorities blame Xinjiang separatists based outside China for the unrest, and they singled out exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer, saying she incited the violence. She denied any responsibility for the violence. Uighur exiles say police fired indiscriminately on peaceful protests, leading to violence and deaths. Xinjiang has received huge state investment in industrial and energy projects, and Beijing has been keen to highlight these as major steps forward. But many Uighurs complain that the Han are taking their jobs, and that their farmland has been confiscated for redevelopment. The activities of local and foreign journalists are closely monitored by the state and there are few independent sources of news from the region. However, occasional attacks on Chinese targets suggest Uighur separatism remains a potent and potentially violent force. South Wales, Gwent, Dyfed-Powys and North Wales Police forces have joined together with councils to encourage people to report incidents. All Wales Hate Crime Awareness Week has been launched by the Welsh government. A hate crime is a crime against an individual or group of people based on their identity. Victims can be targeted for a disability, their race or ethnicity, religion, transgender identity or sexual orientation. South Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Jon Stratford said: "Reports of hate crime to us have increased, which we believe is an indication that individuals feel more confident about reporting such incidents to us. "However we know that hate crime is significantly under reported and that is the main focus of this year's campaign. "There are a number of reasons why this type of crime goes unreported - from fear of reprisals, a lack of confidence in the system, or even a lack of understanding that a crime has been committed. "This campaign will hopefully focus people's minds on what a hate crime is and how they, as a fellow citizen, need to speak up and report this kind of behaviour." The All Wales Hate Crime Awareness Week runs from 10 to 17 October. The proposed "European Security Markets Authority" would initially regulate credit rating agencies, but could be given broader powers at a later date. The agencies gave their highest "AAA" rating to billions of dollars of debts that went bad in the financial crisis. Michel Barnier, the commissioner behind the proposal, has also advocated a single European banking regulator. The internal market commissioner wants national regulators to transfer all their supervision powers over the rating agencies to the new authority. "In contrast to banks and insurance companies, rating services are not linked to particular territories," the Commission said in a press release. US inquiry grills ratings agency "The changes to rules on credit rating agencies will mean better supervision and increased transparency in this crucial sector," said Mr Barnier. "But they are only a first step," he added. "We are looking at this market in more detail." The rating agencies have been accused on both sides of the Atlantic of being a major culprit in the financial crisis. In the US, a Congressional inquiry committee was due on Wednesday to question senior managers at rating agency Moody's, as well as billionaire investor Warren Buffett, about the agencies' role in the crisis. In Europe, Mr Barnier criticised the rating agencies in May for their rapid downgrade of Greece's debts to "junk" status. "I think we need to go further to look at the impact of the ratings on the financial system or economic system as a whole," he said at the time. "The power of these agencies is quite considerable not only for companies but also for states." The rating agencies stand accused of a conflict of interests, as their fees were paid for by the banks whose deals they were rating. Under Mr Barnier's proposal, banks would be forced to disclose full details on their financial transactions to all the rating agencies. The Commission hopes that this will encourage other rating agencies to provide unsolicited - and more impartial - ratings for these deals. However, it is unclear what financial incentive there would be for them to provide these competing ratings. Separately, the Commission has also published a proposal paper on changing the way in which financial institutions such as banks are governed. Directors and major shareholders in banks have been criticised for allowing the banks' management to take on too much risk prior to the financial crisis. The proposals include: The corporate governance "green paper" is only intended to stimulate discussion, and the Commission does not expect to propose any specific new legislation on until 2011. Work and pensions spokesman Owen Smith and Shadow Welsh Secretary Nia Griffith followed Rhondda MP Chris Bryant, who resigned as shadow leader of the house. Most of Labour's front bench has quit over Mr Corbyn's EU campaign efforts. Mr Smith, who has ruled himself out of any leadership contest, said: "It breaks my heart to say I cannot see how he can continue as leader." A string of front bench figures have stepped down amid dismay over what many saw as Mr Corbyn's half-hearted performance during the EU referendum campaign won by Leave. The resignations on Monday followed a meeting at which Mr Corbyn was urged to step down. Mr Smith said he feared the Labour party could split over the leadership issue. "I went into this morning's meeting with Jeremy hoping not to resign, hoping that I was going to hear a plan to bring the party back together," he said. "And I'm afraid I didn't hear that from him. "I think we are at a moment where we desperately need a strong Labour party. "It feels that the collision between the people who're seeking to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn and the people who are trying to stick in there in Jeremy Corbyn's team risks breaking the Labour party." In her resignation statement, Ms Griffith said: "I made clear to Jeremy that I have always admired his commitment to the causes that matter to him, but last week's referendum result and the likelihood of an early general election mean that the party now requires new leadership. "Jeremy has lost the confidence of the party, including many members who initially supported him, and he should now do the honourable thing and resign." Ms Griffith's junior spokespeople on Wales - Susan Elan Jones and Gerald Jones - have stepped down with her. The wave of resignations began following the sacking of Hilary Benn as shadow foreign minister on Sunday after Mr Benn told Mr Corbyn he had lost confidence in his ability to lead the Labour party. Mr Corbyn has announced a new team, including Emily Thornberry as shadow foreign secretary and Diane Abbot moving to health, saying he regretted the resignations but pledged to stand in any new leadership contest. Earlier on Monday, Caerphilly MP Wayne David quit the Labour front bench, saying Mr Corbyn was not "up to the job" in the wake of the EU referendum vote for Brexit. Mr David held shadow briefs for Scotland, the Cabinet Office and political reform in the shadow justice team. He said: "The feedback I've got from Labour party members and also from members of the public who have loyally voted Labour for many, many years is that they will not continue to vote Labour as long as Jeremy Corbyn is leader of the party. "And we cannot bury our heads in our hand - we have to acknowledge that reality." Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock has also resigned as an aide to shadow business minister Angela Eagle, citing Mr Corbyn's "half-hearted and lacklustre role" in the EU campaign. Torfaen MP Nick Thomas-Symonds stepped down as an employment spokesman. On Sunday, Mr Bryant was the first of the three Welsh MPs in the shadow cabinet to step down. He told BBC Wales on Monday: "Last week we helped Jeremy hand the right in this country the biggest victory they've had for a century and shot to pieces one of our most important economic and financial policies, namely remaining in the European Union. "I just think that means his position is now untenable. "I said to Jeremy, I've tried my best to make this work but the truth is you did undermine our campaign in the European election and in the end people didn't know whether you wanted us to remain or leave. "And I fear if we go into a general election - which may come in a matter of months now - that kind of ambivalence and poor campaigning will simply lead to the destruction of the Labour party." Mr Bryant added that Labour was "not going to go back to what it was under Blair or Brown", but said the party needed "a leader who is convincing to the vast majority of voters in this country". Three Welsh candidates who stood in last year's general election are signatories on a list of 57 from across England, Wales and Scotland who have called on Mr Corbyn to go. Mary Wimbury, Mari Williams and Delyth Evans, who stood in Aberconwy, Cardiff North and Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire respectively, added their names to the letter. It said: "We believe we must accept that we cannot achieve our shared ambitions for the future of the United Kingdom without a leader able to command the confidence of the country. "That is why we believe that the Labour party must seek a change of leadership." Sir Michael Wilshaw spoke after the Times said two right-leaning think tanks were to criticise Ofsted - and one would call for it to be scrapped. He told the Sunday Times he was "spitting blood" and blamed Michael Gove's department for briefing on it. A source close to Mr Gove said no-one close had encouraged the attacks. The two think tanks both confirmed they were working on reports on Ofsted, but denied their work was being done with encouragement from the Department for Education. The Times on Friday reported that Policy Exchange - which was set up by the education secretary - and Civitas were preparing to call for a radical overhaul of the Ofsted inspection regime, claiming it was trapped by 1960s "progressive" approaches to learning. It said Civitas would say Mr Gove's wish for schools to develop their own approaches to teaching was being held back by child-first orthodoxies among inspectors, who were stifling innovation. Policy Exchange, the paper said, would say the current inspection regime placed disproportionate pressure on teachers, while its judgments were too inconsistent. Sir Michael told the Sunday Times he suspected the think tanks were being "informed by the Department for Education" - "possibly" Mr Gove's special advisers - and that he was "displeased, shocked and outraged". By Sean CoughlanBBC News education correspondent Opponents used to talk about "the Two Michaels", such was the assumed unity of purpose between Sir Michael Wilshaw and Michael Gove. Teachers' unions routinely accused the Ofsted chief of lacking independence from the education secretary. But this row, in the shadows of briefings and think tanks, suggests some of the fault lines. Apart from Sir Michael's hackles being raised by the criticism of Ofsted, he is sending a signal about his intentions not to give any special treatment to academy chains or free school providers. Sir Michael, a former academy head teacher, has said the chains which run groups of academies must be open to scrutiny by Ofsted, in the way that local authority services can be inspected. This Ofsted boss has turned around tough schools. He's been there, done it - and in his case, not so much got the T-shirt as got the crisp suit and tie. And no one would doubt his single-mindedness or willingness to challenge vested interests if he believes it will raise school standards. "I am spitting blood over this and I want it to stop," he said. Asked whether he wanted Mr Gove to call off the "attack dogs", the newspaper reported, he replied: "Absolutely." He added: "It does nothing for [Michael Gove's] drive or our drive to raise standards in schools. "I was never intimidated as a head teacher and I do not intend to be intimidated as a chief inspector." Sir Michael, who inspects children's services as well as schools in England, was appointed by the coalition and he and Mr Gove have been thought of as allies. Sir Michael has also drawn criticism from teachers' unions in the past , and defended his organisation, saying it had done "more to raise standards in 21 years of existence than any other organisation". He also said that in parts of the country no-one was effectively monitoring free schools and academies, the newspaper reported. "If I see things going wrong in an academy chain I will say so," he said. "If people tied to the free-school movement think I will not do that, they have another think coming." "As long as we exist and have the job of raising standards, we will do the job fairly without fear or favour." Sir Michael also expressed his concern at right-wing critics of the education system who, he said, wanted "children to be lectured for six hours a day in serried ranks". Such rote learning, he said, was not enough to produce successful learners in the 21st Century. A source close to Mr Gove told the BBC it definitely was not the case that the education secretary or anyone near to him had encouraged the attacks. But shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt accused Mr Gove of "playing politics". "Michael Gove should not seek to discredit Ofsted because Ofsted has given negative judgements to under-performing free schools," he said. "Michael Wilshaw is right that there is a complete lack of local oversight of free schools to prevent the sort of failure Ofsted has identified." Civitas director David Green said: "The idea that Michael Gove is in any way directing our criticism of Ofsted is well wide of the mark. "We have had serious misgivings about Ofsted for many years, driven by the testimony of teachers and their concern for school standards. "The fact is, whatever Sir Michael Wilshaw's intentions, we know schools that would like to innovate are scared to do so because of the misguided notions of many Ofsted inspectors. It would not be in Michael Gove's power to 'call off' our criticism whether he wanted to or not." A spokeswoman for the Policy Exchange confirmed that it too was working on a report on Ofsted, but said: "We haven't been told to do that and if we were we wouldn't." Cricket has not featured since 1900 but the sport's governing body is meeting the International Olympic Committee next month to discuss a possible bid. "I'd love to see it as an Olympic sport and, who knows, down the track it might be," Warne told BBC Stumped. "I think it's a great idea and I reckon T20 is the best format for it," added Tendulkar on the World Service show. Former Australia leg-spinner Warne and ex-Indian batsman Tendulkar are captaining rival teams in a series of three Twenty20 All Star matches in the USA in November as they seek to use their fame to help globalise the game. Their backing for an Olympic bid will increase the pressure on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to reverse its resistance to the concept on the grounds that it might dilute the sport's existing competitions, such as the World Cup and World Twenty20. In July, the MCC's World Cricket Committee called for Twenty20 to be included in the 2024 summer Games. Following its board meeting in October, the ICC announced that its chief executive David Richardson and director Giles Clarke would hold talks with the IOC in November. Tendulkar, a guest on the launch show of the second series of Stumped, believes Twenty20 is the ideal format for making the sport accessible at the Olympics. "It's the most acceptable format for people who don't have any knowledge about cricket or the ones who need an introduction to cricket," said Test cricket's all-time leading run-scorer. "The game is over in three hours and it's like any sport - you go to a stadium and after three hours you get back to your work." Warne also favours Twenty20 but is not opposed to indoor cricket being the chosen format - another idea that is reportedly on the table. "If it advertises the game of cricket and the skill and athleticism that are involved in a game of cricket then great," said Warne, 46, whose tally of 708 Test wickets is second only to Sri Lanka icon Muttiah Muralitharan. "I haven't seen a game of indoor cricket for a long time so I don't know how good indoor cricket is at the moment. But the last time I saw it, it was fantastic - so hopefully they have grown a different skill for it. "Ideally, I'd stick to Twenty20 because it's over in three hours, it's easy to organise and you play two or three games a day. I'd include the associate nations because it's helping spread the word of cricket." Cricket's Olympic push has gathered momentum in recent weeks after new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves came out in favour. The ECB had long opposed the idea because of the potential financial implications of an Olympic competition taking place at the height of the English summer.

The Dons shipped three goals in a frantic opening 11 minutes before Jonny Hayes pulled one back. "But for that 10 minutes, we could have won the game," McInnes said. "As bizarre as it sounds - you can't give Celtic a three-goal head start and expect to get anything - we had chance after chance, so we actually could have." Hayes' sumptuous strike came after Dedryck Boyata, Stuart Armstrong and Leigh Griffiths earned the visitors a quick-fire lead. Aberdeen were also denied a penalty when Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon felled Graeme Shinnie in the away box. "We should get a penalty - big decision, it needs a big referee to make that decision and we didn't have that tonight," McInnes told BBC Scotland. "For me, it was a stonewall penalty and we had plenty of the game left to really go and rattle them further." Aberdeen have now lost all four league encounters with the Scottish Premiership champions this season and were comfortably beaten by Celtic in November's League Cup final. McInnes' men will have one last opportunity to topple the Glasgow side in the Scottish Cup final on 27 May. "I think we've been gradually getting closer to them in terms of getting a result," the Dons boss added. "There are acceptable ways of losing and tonight was one of them, because we did recover and the players deserve credit for that. Media playback is not supported on this device "But we do need to learn from the start - it might be the difference between getting a winners' medal in our pocket or not. "I feel that game will make us more confident going into the final, even though we've lost. "It needed to be a performance where they knew we were there, they felt us, they knew we were making contact, they knew we weren't going to get pushed aside and we took them on." Ross Nelson's van crashed into Brenda Donaldson's car after going onto the wrong side of the road on the A977 in Perthshire in November 2014. Nelson, 28, previously admitted causing the 55 year-old civil engineer's death by careless driving. Judge Lady Scott said she had decided it was "not necessary" to jail him. She ordered Nelson to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work. He was also banned from driving for four years. Lady Scott told him it was a "significant failure" by crossing onto the wrong side of the road and causing a "heavy" collision. She said that after "balancing all factors", she had decided a custodial sentence was not required. These included Nelson showing "heartfelt sorrow" and being "genuinely remorseful". Lady Scott said: "You also have a history of lengthy army service involving tours of duty and you have been mentioned in dispatches for your bravery." Nelson went on trial in Edinburgh last year accused of causing death by dangerous driving. Prosecutors accepted his guilty plea to the reduced charge near the end of the case. The trial was told visibility was poor due to fog at the time of the collision. Nelson's Transit van hit Miss Donaldson's car as she travelled in the opposite direction. The court heard that he escaped with cuts and bruises and tried to help Miss Donaldson, who was from Crook of Devon in Perthshire, after the accident. Ronnie Renucci, defending, said Nelson had not realised he had been on the wrong side of road. The advocate said: "He has found it difficult to come to terms that he was responsible for the death of another." The vastly experienced 34-year-old told BBC WM: "You're always looking over your shoulder when the summer comes. "But I've really enjoyed my football this season and I want to stay in the game as long as I can. Media playback is not supported on this device "It was tough when I first came as I'd not played since April, but I settled in straightaway." After being released by Bolton Wanderers a year ago, Robinson was without a club when he first joined injury-hit Blues in September 2012 on an initial one-month deal. But the former Watford, West Bromwich Albion, Bolton and on-loan Leeds United left-back had an outstanding season at St Andrew's, playing all across the back four. "The lads called me Polyfilla after all the positions I've had to fill in this season," he joked. "God knows what position I'm going to play in next season." He ended up making 37 appearances, latterly as a makeshift centre-half, alongside his former Albion team-mate Curtis Davies. "I knew Curt from our days at West Brom together," said Robinson. "He's a fantastic player. It could be tough to keep him this summer." Robinson's consistent form over the final two months of the campaign was enough to persuade Blues boss Lee Clark that he could release another release another experienced defender, former skipper Gary Caldwell, at the end of the season. Allied to his dressing room presence, he played a big part in Blues climbing away from the wrong end of the Championship to even briefly flirt as outside play-off contenders before an ultimately respectable top-half finish. And the work he has done in helping young Mitch Hancox along has hinted at a role on the touchline when his playing days finally come to an end. "I'm doing my badges at the moment," said Robinson. "When the time is right, I'll be looking for a club to take me on the coaching side." He becomes the fifth of Blues' out-of-contract players to sign a new deal. Blues are still waiting on a similar offer to another 34-year-old, midfielder Wade Elliott, born on the same day as Robinson in December 1978. Defender Jonathan Spector and keeper Colin Doyle, both 27, have been offered two-year contracts. Scottish winger Chris Burke, 29, has taken up his year's option, while youngsters Akwasi Asante, Amari'i Bell and Will Packwood have all signed new one-year contracts. Adams is up against Natalie Portman, Ruth Negga, Emma Stone and Felicity Jones in the best actress category. Jones' nomination is one of nine for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, while Arrival picked up seven nods. The winners, voted for by the public, will be announced at a ceremony in London next month. The Star Wars spin-off film is also in the running for best male newcomer (Riz Ahmed), best film, best sci-fi/fantasy film and best director (Gareth Edwards) along with several technical categories. Up for best actor are Ryan Gosling for La La Land, Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool, Casey Affleck for Manchester by the Sea, Eddie Redmayne for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Benedict Cumberbatch for Doctor Strange. Portman is recognised for Jackie, Negga for Loving and Stone for La La Land. While there was an absence of female filmmakers in the best director Oscar nominations, Andrea Arnold (American Honey) found herself a place among a field of male competitors in the Empire nominations. She will take on Taika Waititi, Denis Villeneuve, Ken Loach and Edwards. Competing against Rogue One for best film are Hunt for the Wilderpeople, La La Land, Arrival and Deadpool. I, Daniel Blake's Hayley Squires is up for best female newcomer. Empire's editor-in-chief Terri White said: "This year has once again seen the fans out in force to vote for their favourite films in the Empire Awards. Which is why we are the only awards ceremony in the world to recognise Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Deadpool, Captain America: Civil War and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story alongside La La Land and Arrival!" The Three Empire Awards will take place at The Roundhouse in Camden, north London, on 19 March. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Avon and Somerset Police said it has received seven reports of people on motorbikes throwing bottles of flammable liquid since Thursday. A van, two bikes and a portable toilet were among the items torched around the Bedminster area. A police spokesman said it was "sheer luck" that no-one had been injured. On Thursday evening, police received reports of five people on motorbikes riding around Dame Emily Park starting fires. A few minutes later, two riders were spotted throwing a "fireball" at a parked motorbike. Later, a group of teenagers reported two motorcyclists threw a lit glass bottle at them. On Friday, officers were called out to a van fire on Elmdale Road and bike on fire on North Street. Det Sgt Jack Tween said: "The suspects have clearly given no thought to their safety or the safety of others. "We would appeal for anyone who may have information on any of these incidents to contact us." The auction for second-generation (2G) mobile phone licences raised 94bn rupees ($1.7bn; £1bn). The government had wanted closer to 400bn rupees. Many companies had complained that prices were set too high. An earlier sale of the licences was annulled by the Supreme Court after a corruption probe. The previous licences were issued by former minister A Raja, who is accused of mis-selling the bandwidth in what has been called India's biggest corruption scandal. Mr Raja, who is currently on trial for fraud, has denied any wrongdoing. Government auditors say the scandal cost the country about $40bn (£24.5bn). The auction has been marred with controversy as firms not only complained about the high base prices, but also alleged that the limited amount of bandwidth being offered had deterred many bidders. "The limited amount of spectrum... was guaranteed to have a very detrimental impact on the auction," said Rajan Mathews, secretary general of the Cellular Operators Association of India. "We said that the high reserve price would ensure that limited players come into the bid and that is exactly what we have seen." In a big blow to the government, four circles, including Mumbai and Delhi did not attract any bids. There were also no takers for the all-India licence. "All in all, a big embarrassment for the Indian government, but one could see it coming," said Prashant Singhal, telecom industry leader, at Ernst & Young India. The lacklustre response to the 2G auction contrasts with the 2010 sale of faster third-generation (3G) licences that fetched the government nearly $15bn.

The plane blew a tyre on take-off from Clarksdale, Mississippi, on Saturday. The SJ30 jet made a forced landing in Tunica, about 40 miles (65km) away, where it went off the runway. In a statement, the Shawshank Redemption star said: "Sometimes things don't go as planned and a tyre blew on take-off, which caused other problems." He continued: "But thanks to my excellent pilot Jimmy Hobson we landed safely without a scratch. "I cannot say the same about my plane. I appreciate the concern and prayers for our safety." The 78-year-old has been nominated for seven Oscars for films including Driving Miss Daisy, Street Smart and Invictus, and won in 2005 for his role in Million Dollar Baby.

A private plane carrying Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was forced to make an emergency landing, but the star and his pilot were unhurt.

Thirteen people, both KKK members and rival demonstrators, were arrested. The violence broke out when several Klan members arrived at a local park for a rally and were attacked by counter-protesters, according to police. One of the stabbing victims is said to be in a serious condition. A Klansman who allegedly stabbed one of the demonstrators with a flag pole is among those detained. The flag pole, topped by an American eagle ornament, is believed to have been used to wound three demonstrators. The counter-protests had been underway for hours before around six KKK members arrived, witnesses reported. The Klan members held signs that read "White Lives Do Matter" and carried Confederate flags. As the Klansmen unpacked the signs they were said to have been surrounded by demonstrators with wooden planks. Some were seen kicking a man whose shirt read "Grand Dragon", the name of a high-ranking KKK member, reports said. "These Klan guys were fighting for their lives" witness Darren Simpson told Reuters. "A lot of us were trying to break it up," witness Dion Garcia, told Reuters. "This was not necessary, they should've just let the Klan protest. This is America, we have free speech." Another witness, Brian Levin, said after helping a Klansman away from the crowd, he asked him: "How does it feel that your life was just saved by a Jewish man?" "Thank you," the man replied, according to Mr Levin. "All hell broke loose" Mr Levin said. "I thought they were going to stomp these Klansmen to death". The Ku Klux Klan is one of the oldest and most infamous hate groups in the US, and has targeted African Americans, Jews, Catholics and immigrants, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups. The group has a long history in Anaheim, with KKK members elected to the city council in the 1920s. The forward dinked home three minutes into the second half as 11th-placed Stanley extended their unbeaten run to 15 games to keep in touch with the top seven. Crawley's 20-goal top-scorer James Collins had a third-minute chance when he pounced on a defensive error but he fired wide. Stanley grew into the game with goalkeeper Glenn Morris denying Matty Pearson at the near post. In-form McCartan then claimed the winner, riding the challenge of Morris and finding the net for his sixth goal in seven games following a pass from Sean McConville. Accrington could have made the scoreline more convincing but a free header from Omar Beckles was easy for Morris. Josh Payne almost equalised when his curling effort was repelled by Stanley keeper Marek Rodak 10 minutes from time, before Collins blasted over from the rebound.

Mr Morales said the base about 15km (10 miles) from the border was an act of aggression against Bolivia. He said international norms prohibited military installations within 50km (30miles) from shared frontiers. Chile says it has stepped up military patrols but denies it has established a base. The foreign ministry in Santiago said: "No such military installation exists. What has happened is that we have intensified military patrols in Chilean territory to stop attacks against civilians, robberies, contraband and drug trafficking coming from Bolivia." The statement said "the only military installation is in the area of Silala river on the Bolivian side only 1.5 km (one mile) in a straight line from the frontier from Chile. "Bolivia should answer for why it has a permanent military presence on the border." Both countries have been at loggerheads for years over access to the waters of the Silala river. The River Silala rises in Bolivia but flows down the Andes into Chile. President Morales said Bolivia would file a suit against Chile at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the issue of the river. Bolivia says it owns the Silala spring in a border region and that it is not being compensated by Chile for the use of its waters. But Chile says it is an international waterway of shared use. Chile uses some of the river's water for its mining operations in the Atacama Desert. The country is the world's largest copper producer. Bolivia had brought up another case against Chile at the Hague-based ICJ, demanding access to the Pacific Ocean. Bolivia-Chile land dispute has deep roots In 2013, La Paz took the century-old dispute with Chile over access to the Pacific Ocean to the court, which has yet to rule on the issue. Bolivia lost 400km (250 miles) of coast to Chile in a 19th Century war and has been landlocked ever since. The National Directorate of Security (NDS) allowed one of the suspects to be questioned by the media at a news conference in Kabul. Another four men, who it is said were planning another attack in the city, were also quizzed by journalists. Six members of the same family were killed in the supermarket attack. This was the first time that the NDS - which has a reputation of brutality - has brought detainees before the media. First to be introduced at the press conference was Mohammad Khan. Handcuffed and wearing an orange jump suit, the former telecoms worker explained how he helped 21-year-old Pakistani suicide bomber Mohammad Shoaib carry out the attack last month. He took the bomber to a hotel for a couple of nights and organised an explosives vest before transporting him by taxi to the store. The shop was popular with foreigners and is not far from the British and Canadian embassies. The target he said, was two French VIPs, although in the end it was only civilians who died. Among them was human rights lawyer, Hamida Barmaki, her husband and four children. Her two-year-old son was shot in the head. Mohammad Khan said he was working for the Haqqani network, an insurgent group which has carried out a number of attacks in and around Kabul. Amid jeers from Afghan journalists, he said he thought only foreigners would be killed. "After the attack I heard that all the casualties were Afghans. I apologise to all Afghans for what I did. Now I understand that I did something very bad. I really regret my actions." The intelligence service arrested him after tracing a call made by the bomber to his mobile phone. At times giving somewhat confused evidence, Mr Khan said that he had been paid $300 for helping to carry out the bombing. Four other men accused of planning an attack near a military base in the city were also brought forward. One 17-year-old, Mohammad Ullah, said that he had been drugged and brainwashed after attending a madrassa in Pakistan. "They gave us injections in both arms," he said. "The colour of the drug was red. After we received it we started enjoying what they were saying about suicide attacks, it felt good, and our emotions were telling us to take part." Missing from the line-up was Talib Jan, the man who allegedly recruited Mohammad Khan for the supermarket attack. He had refused to repent, said the NDS, and had planned the attack along with others from his cell in Kabul's Pul-e Charkhi prison - where he is serving a three-year sentence for "terrorist activities". The actress, whose films include Steven Spielberg's Minority Report, last year claimed abuse in council care homes was "rife" in the 1980s. She said reliving the experience, which she first reported in the 1990s, left her feeling "exposed and vulnerable". The BBC understands Ms Morton has met police to discuss the allegations. Ms Morton said she was sexually abused at the Red Tiles children's home in Bulwell and later physically abused at another home, Wollaton House. The homes, which have since closed, are among 13 care homes and secure units where former residents have made compensation claims. Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire Speaking to Radio 4's Women's Hour, she said she spoke out in September 2014 about the abuse after getting "angrier and angrier" at "institutional barriers". "There are individuals within all these systems who want to make it better, but they are banging their heads against brick walls, saying the system needs to change, it is not fit for purpose." However, she said she "felt dreadful" after making the claims. "I felt really exposed and vulnerable and then a criminal, in a way, because it was a very, very long time ago," she said. "I felt devastated for the families of the people I mentioned. "Was it necessary? Yes it was because, looking at the past and what happened and what should have happened, now I'm an adult, a 38-year-old mother of three - if that happened to my children, there has to be consequences. She felt "like a criminal" because attention had focused on her "to justify" the abuse claims. "It's very traumatic, the interviewing process... speaking to people in your past, it's really hard. "It's a very serious thing to say... It was heartbreaking reliving it all again when I'd already reported it." The abuse of children in care in Nottinghamshire is to be investigated as part of a national inquiry into child sexual abuse. Nottinghamshire Police has been investigating allegations of abuse in care homes since 2010, and more than 250 victims have reported offences so far. The 58-year-old took temporary charge of the Canaries before Daniel Farke's appointment as head coach in May. The former Preston and Sheffield Wednesday boss had joined Norwich's coaching staff in 2016, working under then-boss Alex Neil at Carrow Road. The Canaries won five and drew two of their 10 games while Irvine was in interim charge of the team in 2016-17. "We have had a chat together about a role here and Alan has decided that he would like to move on to explore a future challenge. We respect his decision and wish him all the very best," sporting director Stuart Webber told the club website. Irvine added: "My ambition now is to return to management as quickly as possible." Kenneth Wells, 78, from Leicester, abused his victim in Sheringham Court School in Norfolk. Wells was previously handed a six-year sentence in June 2014 for indecent assault against another boy. Police said Wells had exploited his position of trust and preyed on his victims, subjecting them to "horrendous abuse". The victim came forward after seeing Wells convicted for the offences at Norwich Crown Court two years ago. Wells, of Bracken Dale, Leicester, was convicted of the two sexual assaults at Ipswich Crown Court. Wells was placed on the sex offenders register for life. His former colleague and headmaster Bryan Greenhalgh, 65, of Suffield near North Walsham, admitted 13 counts of indecent assault and one serious sexual assault, and was given a life sentence at Norwich Crown Court. Investigating officer Det Con Tristan Coull, of Norfolk Constabulary's Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: "Both men exploited their positions headmaster and housefather to win over the trust of the boys in their care and subject them to horrendous abuse. "They preyed on boys who were at their most vulnerable and who at the time of the abuse felt unable to speak out as they appeared to be upstanding pillars of the community. "Through the positions they held, it would have been the most basic of expectations to protect these children, instead they chose to do the complete opposite." Allen, 25, has 18 months left on his current deal and says he is playing for his Anfield future. Liverpool recently rejected an enquiry from Swansea City about re-signing their former midfielder on loan. "I'm not sure he's going to get a bigger club than Liverpool, so why leave?" Houghton said. "I think you've got to force the issue whilst you're here and when your chance comes, take it. "The manager will be looking at the ones he wants to keep." The Welshman scored the decisive kick in the penalty shootout against Stoke City which secured Liverpool's place in the Capital One Cup final on Tuesday. This month, he also scored a last-minute leveller which grabbed them a point in the Premier League against Arsenal and scored against Exeter in the FA Cup. But he has started only one Premier League game since Jurgen Klopp was appointed manager in October. Media playback is not supported on this device Klopp succeeded Brendan Rodgers, who brought Allen to the club from Swansea in a £15m deal in August 2012. Rodgers' former assistant Colin Pascoe believes Allen has a future at the club following his recent performances. "I thought he turned the game when he came on [against Stoke]," Pascoe told BBC Radio Wales. "He's a fantastic player and hopefully he'll get more starts. "As any player, you want to be loved by the manager and show that he trusts you and he wants to pick you, week in week out. "He's fiery, wears his heart on his sleeve and he wants to do well." It may also prove crucial for Richie Foran's future as manager with his position under increasing scrutiny in and outside the club. Defeat may not be fatal as they could remain four points adrift of 11th place, should Hamilton Academical lose at Dundee and slip below Well. However, with five post-split games to come and just four league wins all season, recovery would seem a tall order. The Highlanders cannot keep relying on others to retain hope. Just one victory in 21 league matches is a horrible statistic. It's a win ratio of less than 5%. That measure alone understandably raises questions about the manager's position as well as player performance. So where has it gone wrong? At his introduction to the media as manager last May, Foran said: "For me, management is all about recruitment. It's the most important aspect of my job." He may not have the resources of others but the board can legitimately argue they have backed him. Over an entire starting XI has arrived since his appointment. Kevin McNaughton was an early long-term casualty with injury but few of the other signings stand out. The arrival of Billy Mckay, back on loan from Wigan, did look like a solution but the Northern Irish striker has not made much of an impression other than a dramatic winner against Rangers - their last victory. Service to him has been a clear issue. Delivering exciting, attacking football was a priority but players such as Jake Mulraney, Larnell Cole and Billy King have not produced consistently in achieving that goal. Another long-term injury to Aaron Doran has not helped matters. Now, it's solely about results and some of Foran's recruits have to step up. To this point, the majority have not. Foran had been earmarked for this position for some time given his contribution around the club over the years. The board were convinced the former skipper had the qualities to lead and step out of the dressing room smoothly. That transition appears to have been harder than anticipated. He was awarded a four-year deal, with certain clauses, which seemed a tremendous show of faith in an untried manager. He inherited assistant Brian Rice, who is contracted until the end of this season. Rice is very experienced; a well thought of coach, but the dynamic does not appear to have worked. Foran is a man of conviction and belief. Perhaps having someone of his choosing alongside him might have helped balance his lack of experience. Clean sheets have been very hard to come by with only one since their most impressive league result, a 3-0 win over Motherwell in October. Inverness have conceded in all but two league games and have lost the first goal 23 times - 23 games they have not won. Statistics can be misrepresentative, but not those. The loss of Josh Meekings to long-term injury has been significant. He formed a very successful centre-half partnership with Gary Warren under Foran's predecessor John Hughes. Caley Thistle have drawn 13 times this season and earned creditable points against Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts. On their day, they are capable of being robust. Their day has not arrived nearly enough and has been undermined by conceding cheap goals. As Foran stated following last Saturday's 3-0 defeat by St Johnstone, one win can change things. They are still in this fight and are, by Foran's admission, fortunate to be so. Saturday is paramount. Defeat might prove decisive but victory would deliver a significant shot in the arm that might spark a revival. The pressure would sharply turn to sides above them. It may galvanise his squad and the support for one last push. The Inverness board tends to be patient with managers. There's a lot at stake for the club and the manager. It's recoverable but chances are running out. If Foran is to successfully negotiate his way to safety, it may be the making of him and allow the club to build for the longer term. In the capital Brasilia, hundreds occupied the finance ministry, while in Sao Paulo, demonstrators brought traffic to a standstill. President Michel Temer says capping pension benefits and raising retirement age is needed to fix the country's finances. Brazil is going through its worst recession in more than a century. The government plans to set the minimum age of retirement at 65. The decision has provoked much anger, as many people are able to draw their pension at 54. But President Temer said the reform was needed to prevent a collapse of the pension system. "No one will have their rights taken away," he said on Wednesday, and he described the planned reforms as necessary to save "the benefits of today's retirees and of the young who will retire tomorrow". President Temer said the austerity measures were needed now, in order to prevent a future crisis such as that suffered by Portugal, Spain or Greece. However, protesters are not convinced by the president's arguments. "We're on strike for the future of the country," said Mirna Aragon, a teacher protesting in Rio de Janeiro. The opposition says President Temer is punishing ordinary Brazilians, who are already suffering from a record 12.6% unemployment rate, around 13 million jobless.

Kovalev, who knocked down Hopkins in the first round, had winning scores of 120-107 from two judges and 120-106 from the third. The defeat in Atlantic City could signal the end of Hopkins's career. It was the first time that Kovalev had been past the eighth round in his professional career but he shone in the 12th, sending the American against the ropes and landing 38 punches, the most ever against Hopkins in 41 fights analysed by CompuBox. "I wanted to show fans that I know how to box and I did," Kovalev said. "I tried to go for the knockout in the 12th round. He has great defence. He's the best boxer in my division." But the Russian now feels the time is right for Hopkins to hang up his gloves. "He was a really tough opponent," he added. "He is very good at keeping distance. I really respect him for the fight but he needs to stop his career, I think, because he's already done a lot in the boxing world and he needs to give an opportunity to younger fighters to be champions. I'm next." However, boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya, 41, who was the last man to be knocked out by Hopkins in September 2004, insists that the American will fight again. Hopkins is a minority partner with De La Hoya in Golden Boy Promotions, and the world champion at six different weights believes Hopkins has options in a lower weight class. "I give him a lot of respect," said Hopkins of his opponent after the fight. "We both would fight anyone and that's how we ended up here tonight. That's what brought us together. That's what the people want to see, one title, one belt, one champion. "When he got hit with some of my shots he would step back. But he used his reach and his distance and that was the key to his victory. He has very good mechanics and patience. It was smart that he stayed patient. He had a really good game plan. I will give him that." Irishman Nick Dwyer, 55, and Frenchwoman Barbara Heftman, 44, were sailing from New Zealand to Australia. Australian police rescued the pair 210 nautical miles (390km) off Sydney amid 6m swells and gale-force winds. The sailors, on a circumnavigation of the globe, had activated an emergency beacon in turbulent seas on Tuesday, three days after their rudder broke. "We encountered enormous seas, waves the size of buildings coming at you constantly, winds that you can't stand up in, seas breaking, whiteness everywhere," Mr Dwyer said. Mr Dwyer said the couple's 40ft (12m) yacht "rolled" on Tuesday, prompting them to issue a distress call. "We weren't sure whether we were going to be rolled again and each time a wave hit we thought, 'is [this] the one that's going to take us?" Mr Dwyer said. After receiving the distress call, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) sent a jet to the remote location before asking police for help. New South Wales Police said it took their rescue boat more than 13 hours to reach the pair amid "treacherous conditions". "It was truly amazing, to think that somebody had to come that far to save us," Mr Dwyer said after arriving in Sydney on Wednesday night. "I owe them my life. We owe them our lives. You can't put that into words." AMSA had been in regular contact with the experienced sailors since their rudder failed on Saturday, police said. The pair, who had been on a 10-year circumnavigation, will remain in Sydney while figuring out what to do next. "Our home's gone, we're alive, I expect to live a little bit longer and that'll be okay," Mr Dwyer said. His investment in terror imbued the collective Spanish psyche with a determination never again to undergo such civil conflict or to suffer another dictatorship. That remains the case to this day, exactly 40 years after his death. However, unlike Hitler's Germany or Mussolini's Italy, where external defeat led to denazification processes, there was no equivalent in Spain - and the shadow of his regime still bedevils politics. Franco's vengeful triumphalism had been fostered in the military academies, where officer cadets were trained to regard democracy as signifying disorder and regional separatism. As the dictatorship was rapidly dismantled, some of its senior military defenders did not share the massive political consensus in favour of democratisation and so endeavoured to turn back the clock at several moments in the late 1970s and, most dramatically, in the attempted coup of Colonel Antonio Tejero on 23 February 1981. After the defeat of the coup in 1981, the attitudes of the armed forces were changed by Spain's entry into Nato in 1982, which shifted their focus outwards from their previous obsession with the internal enemy. Scarred by the horrors of the civil war and the post-war repression, during the transition to democracy Spaniards rejected both political violence and Franco's idea that, by right of conquest, one half of the country could rule over the other. However, what was impossible in a democracy was a counter-brainwashing. Moreover, especially in his later years, Franco did not rule by repression alone: he enjoyed a considerable popular support. There were those who, for reasons of wealth, religious belief or ideological commitment, actively sympathised with his military rebels during the civil war. Then, from the late 1950s onwards, there was the support of those who were simply grateful for rising living standards. Although in the many national, regional and municipal elections that have been held in Spain since 1977, openly Francoist parties have never gained more than 2% of the vote, a residual acceptance of the values of the Franco dictatorship can be found in the ruling conservative Popular Party and its electorate. Accordingly, no government has ever declared the Franco regime to be illegitimate. It was not until 2007 that the Law of Historical Memory made tentative efforts to recognise the sufferings of the victims of Francoism. Equally slow has been the process of removing the symbols of the dictatorship, the Falangist equivalent of the swastika - its emblem of the yoke and arrows - on church walls, street names commemorating Franco's generals and, above all, the huge basilica and towering cross of the Valley of the Fallen where the dictator is buried. Call for removal of Franco's remains from Valley of Fallen UN presses Spain over Franco-era crimes and mass graves Fate of Franco's Valley of Fallen reopens Spain wounds Today, along with the still open wounds of the civil war and the repression, two other shadows of the dictatorship hang over Spain - corruption and regional division. The Caudillo's rigid centralism and its brutal application to the Basque Country and Catalonia had left more powerful nationalist movements there than had ever existed before 1936. The democratic constitution of 1978 enshrined rights of regional autonomy for Catalonia and the Basque Country with which the right has never been comfortable. Mass pressure in Catalonia for increased autonomy met with an intransigence that has fuelled a campaign for independence. Drawing on a residual Francoist centralism, the Popular Party has fomented hostility to Catalonia in particular for electoral gain. The consequent divisiveness, at times bordering on mutual hatred, is one of the most damaging legacies of Francoism. The other is the corruption that permeates all levels of Spanish politics. Needless to say, there was corruption before Franco and corruption is not confined to Spain. Nevertheless, it is true that the Caudillo used corruption both to reward and control his collaborators. Recent research has uncovered proof of how he used his power to enrich himself and his family. In general, the idea that public service exists for private benefit is one of the principal legacies of his regime. It will thus be many years before Spain is free of Franco's legacy.

Using amateur video footage, they were able to plot the meteor's trajectory through Earth's atmosphere and then reconstruct its orbit around the Sun. As the space rock burned up over the city of Chelyabinsk, the shockwave blew out windows and rocked buildings. The team, from Colombia, has published details on the Arxiv website. Numerous videos of the fireball were taken with camera phones, CCTV and car-dashboard cameras and subsequently shared widely on the web. Furthermore, traffic camera footage of the fireball had precise time and date stamps. Early estimates of the meteor's mass put it at ten tonnes; US space agency Nasa later estimated it to be between 7,000 and 10,000 tonnes. Nasa estimates the size of the object was about 17m (55ft). Using the footage and the location of an impact into Lake Chebarkul, Jorge Zuluaga and Ignacio Ferrin, from the University of Antioquia in Medellin were able to use simple trigonometry to calculate the height, speed and position of the rock as it fell to Earth. To reconstruct the meteor's original orbit around the Sun, they used six different properties of its trajectory through Earth's atmosphere. Most of these are related to the point at which the meteor becomes bright enough to cast a noticeable shadow in the videos. The researchers then plugged their figures into astronomy software developed by the US Naval Observatory. The results suggest the meteor belongs to a well known family of space rocks - known as the Apollo asteroids - that cross Earth's orbit. Of about 9,700 near-Earth asteroids discovered so far, about 5,200 are thought to be Apollos. Asteroids are divided into different groups such as Apollo, Aten, or Amor, based on the type of orbit they have. Dr Stephen Lowry, from the University of Kent, said the team had done well to publish so quickly. "It certainly looks like it was a member of the Apollo class of asteroids," he told BBC News. "Its elliptical, low inclination orbit, indicates a solar system origin, most likely from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Dr Lowry added: "Perhaps with more data, we can determine roughly where in the asteroid belt it come from." Paul.Rincon-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk Gary Nicholson, 20, admitted causing the death of his 18-year-old passenger Alec Stewart and another car passenger, Patricia Brown, 52, by dangerous driving on the B769, near Stewarton. Ewan Alvarez McLeod and Yung Lau, both 20, and Lee Copeland, 23, admitted dangerous driving prior to the fatal crash on 20 April 2014. They received community payback orders. Yung Lau, from Stewarton, was ordered to carry out 142 hours of unpaid work. Alvarez McLeod, also from Stewarton, and Copeland, from Irvine, were ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work. Nicholson was also banned from the road for five years. The three others were disqualified from driving for 12 months. After all four were sentenced, Insp Dean Pennington said: "Their utterly selfish decision to drive on public roads in such a manner has shattered the lives of many families. "This incident could have been easily avoided had this group of young men not driven dangerously and with reckless disregard for the lives of other road users." A previous hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh was told that on the day of the crash, the accused and others had met in Stewarton and were planning to travel to a "car cruise" event in Irvine. During the journey, the cars driven by Lau, Nicholson and Alverez McLeod pulled away from the group and overtook a car driven by Peter Shaw with his wife and young child as passengers. The court heard that Mr Shaw commented to his wife Caroline: "Boy racers, I'll let them get by." About 20 seconds later Copeland also overtook the couple. The convoy later came to a dip, where a passenger in Lau's car, Sean Beveridge, said: "We've hit the 100." He saw a Peugeot approaching from the opposite direction being driven safely and on its side of the road. As the convoy drove at speeds of up to 100mph, Nicholson lost control of his vehicle, which crossed over the centre lines and into the path of the Peugeot being driven by John Brown, with his wife Patricia as a passenger. Mr Brown told the court he had become aware of a Corsa "skidding across the road" with "smoke belching from the wheels". He performed an emergency braking procedure, but after their cars collided, Nicholson's vehicle then hit a tree and went into a field. Alvarez McLeod swerved to avoid the crashed vehicles and his car went onto its side. He managed to climb out and made a 999 call. Mrs Brown was trapped in her car and died at the scene from a head injury. When Mr Shaw arrived, he went to help Nicholson whose Corsa was in a field. With the front of the car smoking and about to catch fire, Mr Shaw and another man pulled Alec Stewart from the wreckage. The 18-year-old had sustained multiple injuries and later died in hospital. Nicholson told police that the crash was his fault as he was "going too fast". The eurozone is expected to grow by 1.6% this year and 1.4% in 2017. Before the referendum the IMF had predicted growth of 1.7% for both years. The IMF also revised down its 2018 growth forecast to 1.6% from 1.7%. It said medium-term growth prospects for the 19-member bloc were "mediocre" due to high unemployment and debt. Mahmood Pradhan, deputy director of the IMF's European Department, said the outlook could worsen if drawn-out negotiations between the UK and the EU led to a continuation of recent trends in financial markets - where investors have shunned riskier assets. "If that risk aversion is prolonged, we think the growth impact could be larger and at this point, it is very difficult to tell how long that period lasts," he said in a conference call. The revised 2017 figure was the IMF's "best case" scenario, assuming a deal was struck that allowed the UK to retain its access to the EU's single market, Mr Pradhan said. However, if the UK decided not to maintain close ties with the EU and chose to rely on World Trade Organization rules, there could be "major disruptions," he said. Mr Pradhan added it was "very, very early days to have any strong sense of confidence" about what the eventual relationship between the UK and EU would be. In the medium-term, challenges such as high unemployment and persistent structural weaknesses in the euro area would continue to weigh on growth, the IMF said. "As a result, growth five years ahead is expected to be about 1.5%, with headline inflation reaching only 1.7%," the report said. It also said that as the euro area was such a big player in world trade, any slowdown could have an impact on other economies, including emerging markets, but it expected this to be "limited". Almost 70% of the 3,328 riders who entered the 2015 Etape Loch Ness in April were from outside the region, Mackay Consultants Inverness said. The firm examined how much those people were likely to have spent on food and accommodation. This year was the second time the cycling event had been held. As well as the economic boost, it raised £228,000 for charity. Begbies Traynor was called in to manage the sale of Aberystwyth's Royal Pier, Wales' first, in March 2015. But administrator John Kelly said it was taking longer than expected because it was built on stilts in the sea and buyers were struggling to find lenders. He added there had also been issues with "time wasters". The Grade II-listed pier houses several small businesses including a nightclub, an arcade, a pub and restaurants. "We have had a number of interested parties view the pier and some remain interested," Mr Kelly said. "It is its uniqueness that makes it more of a challenge for funding. It is also built on stilts into the sea so does require more than average maintenance, and access for maintenance can be challenging. "I remain confident we will find a suitable buyer, which is taking longer than I would normally expect in part due to its uniqueness and in part to 'time wasters'." Director General of Police YP Singhal said the police would take action if they received any information. At least 30 people died and vehicles, shops and buildings were damaged. The demonstrators were mostly from the Jat community who were protesting against India's caste quota system. What is India's caste system? Why India's farm communities are angry At the scene: Defiant India protesters stand ground in Haryana They say it puts them at a disadvantage in government jobs and at state-run educational institutes. The Jats are currently listed as upper caste but want job quotas similar to those granted to lower castes. "We can't confirm reports of any rapes, but we will take action if we receive any complaints," Mr Singhal told a press conference on Friday. "We are willing to investigate but we need information," he said, asking those who had any leads to come forward. A newspaper report on Wednesday said rioters set fire to dozens of cars on a highway connecting Haryana to Delhi during the protests, forcing their occupants to flee. The rioters then stripped and raped 10 women in the nearby fields, it added. News television channels showed images of clothes strewn along the highway and media reports quoted local people as saying there were reports of large-scale atrocities. Media reports alleged the police and administration authorities had advised the victims to not register any complaint to "save their honour" - charges denied by senior police and administration officials. On Wednesday, the Punjab and Haryana High Court asked the state government to investigate the allegations. On Thursday, the high court said the victims could directly lodge complaints with the chief judicial magistrate if they did not want to go to the police. Large-scale violence began in Haryana on 19 February and for the next few days, members of the Jat community went on the rampage, setting fire to vehicles, shops and building belonging to non-Jats. Demonstrations were also held in Delhi, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. Overland transport links to Haryana were brought to a halt by the protests, despite a curfew and the deployment of the army. More than 10 million people in the capital, Delhi, had to go without water after the protesters also sabotaged a key canal supplying water to the city. The protests were called off on Monday after Jat leaders accepted a government offer. State authorities say the situation is now under control, all roads have been secured and the violence has subsided. St Just Chapel - completed in 1833 - will close its doors for worship in August 2017. The church joins a list of closures in the county due to falling congregation numbers and rising maintenance costs. President of the Methodist Conference, Reverend Steven Wild, said the decision reflected a "changing society". "It is really sad. They built it so everybody in the community could fit in it to hear the gospel message. "Times have changed. The way that people worship is different now... Unfortunately secularisation has crept in in our country in quite a big way that we don't see in other parts of the world." Julian Drew, superintendent minister for West Penwith, said the costs of maintaining the building were "quite huge". "It's a big building... [The costs] are beyond the size of the congregation that's here". Mr Drew said the church council would be looking at "a number of options" for the future of the chapel over the coming months, but that if no group came forward to support its upkeep the building would have to go on the market. The Miners Cathedral got its name in remembrance of 20 people who lost their lives when the West Wheal Owles mine flooded in 1893. Richard Lochhead said the Scottish government was not prepared to "gamble" with the future of the country's £14bn food and drink sector. He is to request that Scotland be excluded from any European consents for the cultivation of GM crops. But farming leaders said they were disappointed by the move. Under EU rules, GM crops must be formally authorised before they can be cultivated. An amendment came into force earlier this year which allows member states and devolved administrations to restrict or ban the cultivation of genetically modified organisms within their territory. Mr Lochhead said Scotland's request for opt-outs from GM crop consent would cover an EU approved variety of genetically modified maize and six other GM crops that are awaiting authorisation. He said that Scotland was known around the world for its "beautiful natural environment" and banning the growing of genetically modified crops would protect and further enhance its "clean, green status". Mr Lochhead added: "There is no evidence of significant demand for GM products by Scottish consumers and I am concerned that allowing GM crops to be grown in Scotland would damage our clean and green brand, thereby gambling with the future of our £14bn food and drink sector. "Scottish food and drink is valued at home and abroad for its natural, high quality which often attracts a premium price, and I have heard directly from food and drink producers in other countries that are ditching GM because of a consumer backlash." The announcement was welcomed by Scottish Green MSP Alison Johnstone, who agreed that the cultivation of GM crops would harm the country's environment and reputation for high quality food and drink. But she called on ministers to go further by challenging big retailers to improve their labelling to show whether meat, eggs and dairy products come from animals fed on GM feed. The move has also been broadly welcomed by environment groups. But Scott Walker, chief executive of farming union NFU Scotland, said he was disappointed that the Scottish government had decided that no GM crops should ever be grown in Scotland. "Other countries are embracing biotechnology where appropriate and we should be open to doing the same here in Scotland," he said. "These crops could have a role in shaping sustainable agriculture at some point and at the same time protecting the environment which we all cherish in Scotland." Huw Jones, professor of molecular genetics at agricultural science group Rothamsted Research, said the announcement was a "sad day for science and a sad day for Scotland. He said that GM crops approved by the EU were "safe for humans, animals and the environment". Media playback is not supported on this device Joshua, who was making the second defence of his belt, knocked the American down with a short right before the referee waved the fight off. The 27-year-old now has 18 knockouts from as many fights and will face former heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium on 29 April. "This is the step-up people have wanted," said Joshua. "Klitschko wants his belts back and may the best man win." Klitschko, who lost his WBA, IBF and WBO belts to Tyson Fury last year, stepped through the ropes to speak to Joshua. "He is the best man in the division and the excitement speaks for itself," said the Ukraine fighter. "This is what the fans want and this fight must happen." On a busy night of boxing, Dillian Whyte beat Dereck Chisora via a split decision in a stirring WBC heavyweight title eliminator, Britain's Kal Yafai won the WBA super-flyweight title and Katie Taylor won her second professional fight. The Manchester Arena was a 21,000 sell-out and those in attendance also included former heavyweight world champions Shannon Briggs and David Haye, and WBC cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew. The first round of the main event featured little action, although Joshua did land with a good left hook on the bell. With Molina content to spoil, Joshua found it difficult to get off his shots in the second but he finally found his range in the third, with a devastating outcome. With Molina pinned in the corner, Joshua chopped him down with a short overhand right and it was a minor miracle that he managed to regain his feet. But the American only lasted a few more seconds, referee Steve Gray calling a halt to proceedings as Joshua was raining blows upon the challenger. Before the fight, Molina said WBC champion Deontay Wilder, with whom he lasted nine rounds last year, was the hardest puncher in the division. Having felt the full force of Joshua's fists, he might have changed his mind. "It was slow, patient and calculating. You are dealing with someone who is not giving you many options, so I had to create them and, once I saw it, I managed to connect properly and knocked him out," said Joshua. "He had maybe two shots, but he is not a Kiltschko, he is not a Haye, he is not all of these other fighters. "That's why I don't get too hyped, that's why I took him out like I should. I am going to keep on handling business like I should. "The belt doesn't represent me, it's how you deal with people, how you represent yourself as a champion. The belt is a sign of a champion but what makes a champion is the things I have just said." "AJ did his job. I'm happy he won, that was my wish. There is no other fight to do but this one between us. "I was watching, observing, making my notes. I'm really looking forward to this fight. I am a fan of his talent, he can unify the division and be a great champion. "My guns are cocked. They've been cocked for a year. Nothing personal, but it's business. "My hall of fame coach Emmanuel Stewart said 'one day you will have a signature fight'. This is the fight he was talking about. It is something outstanding." BBC Sport boxing expert Richie Woodhall That was a tremendous performance. Joshua opened his opponent up and then caught him with speed, accuracy and power. Molina tried to shield his jaw away from that right hand but it came through like a missile and bounced off his chin. What was most impressive for me, he didn't just go tearing in there all guns blazing, making mistakes. He did it very sensibly. He knew his opponent could come back with the odd right hand but his own punches were devastating. I have got to say, the referee should have stopped it earlier - the kid took two or three heavy shots that he shouldn't have taken. Stephen Reed, 58, and David Ragozzino, 33, were charged after an investigation into text messages sent to Mr Oyston. Mr Reed, of Common Edge Road and Mr Ragozzino, of Oakwood Close, both Blackpool, appeared before city magistrates earlier. The court heard the Crown Prosecution Service has discontinued the case after a review of the evidence. A CPS spokeswoman said: "After receiving further information from the police we have conducted a review of all the evidence in the case and have concluded that there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction against either defendant for a charge of harassment and have therefore taken the decision to discontinue the case." Alex Smith, from Oldham, said it was an "injustice" victims were receiving far less than those who contracted HIV through NHS blood products in the 1970s and 80s. His solicitors have asked the Department of Health (DoH) for comparable help. The DoH said it was "more than doubling" its annual spending. Mr Smith said he may start a judicial review of the government's cash help for those affected. He said: "Why are they not treating us the same, why is my life worth less than someone with HIV? "It is an injustice." In 2015, the then Prime Minster David Cameron apologised to thousands of victims of the contaminated blood scandal. The government announced in July that those with stage 1 Hepatitis C would receive £3,500 a year, with the provision to appeal for a higher payment close to the £15,000 received by HIV patients who received toxic blood. Mr Smith's solicitor, Leigh Day, said the government's wording was "unclear" and needed clarifying, adding: "It continues the existing unlawful discrimination against stage 1 HCV claimants." The payments ran counter to a government decision which said people with Hepatitis C should receive financial support which is "broadly comparable" for those who contracted HIV, the letter added. The Department of Health said it was "more than doubling its annual spend on the scheme for people affected by this tragedy over the next five years, and was therefore able to provide an annual payment to all infected individuals for the first time." It added: "This is significantly more than any previous government has been able to provide for those affected by this tragedy." Earlier this month, the 36-year-old was fined £4,900 after asking a TV reporter for a date in a live interview while playing for Melbourne Renegades in Australia's Big Bash League. He later apologised but said the reaction was "out of proportion". Gayle, whose first game is on 1 June against Sussex, scored 328 runs in three appearances for Somerset in 2015. The final match of his six-game stint will be against Hampshire on 19 June. Gayle said: "I really enjoyed my time at Somerset last year. It's a great club and the supporters were absolutely incredible. "I'm looking forward to seeing the fans again and to scoring some more runs. Hopefully I can help the club make it through to the later stages." Somerset's director of cricket Matt Maynard previously described Gayle as "box office" and suggested Somerset sold out their seven T20 Blast games last year "essentially on the back of him signing". The left-hander hit a 12-ball half-century to equal the record for the fastest fifty in Twenty20 cricket before Renegades exited the Big Bash earlier this month. Somerset's chief executive Guy Lavender said they may be able to bring Gayle back to Taunton if they qualified from the group stage. Somerset's newly-appointed County Championship skipper Chris Rogers has made it clear he's not the biggest fan of his former Sydney Thunder team-mate Gayle. Australian batsman Rogers played in the Big Bash League alongside Gayle three years ago. "From my time at the Thunder I was very disappointed in his attitude and his behaviour," Rogers said on 5 January. "I've never been a fan since. "He has to realise at some stage, and I'd be the first to admit that at times I've let myself down with my behaviour, but you grow up and you start making better decisions. He needs to start making better decisions." Rogers has replaced Marcus Trescothick as captain for the four-day competition, after he stepped down from the role last week. However, Gayle will not play under Rogers directly as Jim Allenby is the club's one-day captain. Media playback is not supported on this device Gayle has earned the backing of Maynard despite Rogers' criticism of his time with the Thunder. The former Glamorgan batsman said the West Indian had got on well with everyone during his time with Somerset last summer. "He obviously didn't leave a great impression there, but he did here," Maynard told Points West. "He made a superb impression on the fans, on the players, on the town itself. He was so well thought of and that's what you go on. "I know there will be no issues between him and Chris Rogers. They are both grown men and they will get on fine." Gayle's 2016 stint with Somerset Wednesday, 1 June - Sussex v Somerset Friday, 3 June - Somerset v Essex Friday, 10 June - Somerset v Surrey Wednesday, 15 June - Somerset v Glamorgan Friday, 17 June - Gloucestershire v Somerset Sunday, 19 June - Somerset v Hampshire Michael Anthony Bailey, 54, from Dale Terrace in Oldbury, Black Country, attacked his dog Lucky last June, magistrates in Birmingham heard. When police came to his home he said the dog had run off but she was found hidden behind the washing machine. Lucky made a full recovery but was later put down after it was found she was a banned breed. More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country Bailey was found guilty of one count of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, and one count of failing to take reasonable steps to ensure the needs of the dog were met. As well as his jail sentence he was also banned for life from owning animals and ordered to pay a £115 victim surcharge. Steven Morrall, an investigator for the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), praised police for saving Lucky from further injuries, but criticised the decision to put down the dog. "This was a particularly brutal attack on the poor dog that was stabbed on her face and repeatedly punched, which left the her eyes so swollen that they were almost closed," he said. "This is a very sad ending as Lucky had made a full recovery and we were hoping to see her into a new home. "The RSPCA do not make these decisions. We do not agree with Breed Specific Legislation and have been campaigning for changes for some time." Allied said the move would strengthen its market share in Scotland, particularly in the central belt. The combined firm will have 30 offices across Scotland, employing more than 160 staff and 36 directors, and an annual turnover of £10m. Murray and Muir's 14 staff in Glasgow and Edinburgh will move to Allied offices. Allied chairman Grant Robertson said: "We are delighted to announce this merger, which we believe signals a positive upturn in the Scottish property market reflected by the increasing demand for our surveying services and expertise. "As we continue to grow our business, the strength of all our offices across Scotland, combined with Murray and Muir's established network, particularly with solicitors, will ensure we are in a prime position to maximise opportunities and to continue to deliver a quality service to all our clients." Allied offers a full range of property services, including residential and commercial property valuations. Its main client base is composed of estate agents, banks, investors and developers. The teenager was discovered when officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were called to Timperley Metro station at 16:30 BST. He was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition. GMP believe he may have taken MDMA or ecstasy but are still working to establish the facts. Last month, three 12-year-old girls were taken to hospital after taking ecstasy in Salford, Greater Manchester. Insp John Cave from GMP said of the incident in Timperley: "It is very early stages... the boy is very poorly and we want to urge anyone who may have also taken the drug to get checked out at hospital as soon as possible. "It is critical that young people understand the implications of taking drugs and would urge that they think twice before doing so. "People taking these drugs don't know what they contain or the effect they will have - it's not worth the risk of ending up in hospital or even losing a life. "If anyone is in possession of these drugs I would urge them to hand them in to the police, a chemist or other medical practitioner immediately, and if you have taken any themselves that they go to hospital as a precaution." GMP has urged anyone who may have information about how the boy came to fall ill to call the police on 101. Ecstasy, or MDMA, is an illegal synthetic drug that people take to feel energised and euphoric. The effects usually kick in after about half an hour and take a few hours to wear off. A big problem with ecstasy is that the tablets are rarely pure - they can be cut with other substances and cause nasty side effects. If a child takes ecstasy they will be getting a large dose relative to the size of their body, which is more risky. Ecstasy affects how well the body is able to regulate temperature and this increases the risk of over-heating and dehydration. Anyone with a heart condition, epilepsy or asthma can have a very dangerous reaction to the drug. There are have been numerous deaths involving ecstasy. It will also be a good-bye to Leslie Odom Jr., who portrays Aaron Burr, and Phillipa Soo, who plays Eliza Schuyler. Fans have queued for days to buy tickets, with the most expensive being sold at $20,000 (£15,400). The hit show about the life of one of America's founding fathers is described as "a landmark American musical". Miranda, who plays Alexander Hamilton, said he would work on other projects. Odom Jr. will focus on his career as a singer and Soo will take part in another musical. Hamilton won 11 statuettes at the Tony Awards in New York last month - including one for Odom Jr. - and the Pulitzer Prize for drama earlier this year. In addition to blockbuster ticket sales, the album of the show is the highest-selling cast recording for 50 years, picking up this year's Grammy Award for best musical theatre album. Caitlin Goddard, from Detroit, had been queuing from three nights and two days for a ticket. "We wanted to see the show but we were OK to wait for a while. It was definitely finding out that so many of the principals were leaving that we were like, 'OK, we have to do it now!'" she told the Associated Press news agency. Rukkus, a secondary ticket marketplace, says the average price for this Saturday's show is $3,391 (£2,618), AP reports. For subsequent shows, the price drops substantially, with an average of $1,286 (£993). Hamilton is expected to open at London's Victoria Palace Theatre in October 2017. A pilot service, linking North Ayrshire and the Kintyre peninsula, has operated for the past three years. Transport Minister Derek Mackay said it had proved "incredibly popular" and transported an average of over 10,000 passengers and 2,000 cars per year. He said the permanent service would be part of an enhanced summer timetable for CalMac next year. "The pilot service proved incredibly popular and I'm sure this announcement will be welcomed by passengers and the communities at either side of the route," Mr Mackay said. "This will be a real boost for the local economy, enhancing transport links to Campbeltown and the Kintyre peninsula, as well as supporting the tourist trade by making it easier and more attractive for visitors. Beginning in May over the past three summers, the service provided three sailings in each direction each week. The sailings provided an alternative to the four-hour drive between Campbeltown and Glasgow and was the first regular car ferry service between Kintyre and Ayrshire. Until the 1930s, sea travel was the main way of reaching Kintyre from the central belt. The decision to make the route permanent was taken after Transport Scotland hired consultants to carry out a full evaluation. CalMac's operations director, Drew Collier, said: "Passenger numbers on this route during the trial confirm that the demand is there for a regular ferry link and we look forward to delivering this service next year in support of the local community in Campbeltown." Team SCA, the first all-women crew to enter for 12 years, suffered a series of accidents and problems during the New Zealand-to-Brazil stage. The team's boat lost its electronics, capsized and hit three objects in the South Atlantic Ocean. "We made mistakes, we had things go wrong, but we fixed it all," said Davies, after finishing on Tuesday. "We made it to dock and we're in one piece so we're happy." Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing won the 6,776 nautical mile Auckland to Itajai stage on Sunday and lead the round-the-world race by seven points. The race started in the Spanish city of Alicante in October, with teams visiting 11 ports in 11 countries across nine legs, and finishes in Gothenburg in June.

The health service had previously fought against paying for Prep and even took the issue to court, unsuccessfully, last year. The drug will be given to 10,000 people in a £10m trial lasting three years. The Terrence Higgins Trust said it was "crucial" the NHS delivered plans to offer the protection routinely. Prep (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily pill that disables HIV before it gets a stranglehold in the body. Trials suggest it can cut the risk of being infected by up to 86%. People buying the drug privately has been linked to the first fall in new infections in gay men. Scotland has already announced it will make Prep available on the NHS to people at risk of HIV. And in Wales, the government is also trialling the drug. Sexual health clinics in London, Brighton, Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield are expected to be the first to offer Prep to high-risk people, starting September. The rest of the country will take part by April 2018. Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, said: "This major new intervention should complement and supercharge the wide-ranging and increasingly successful effort to prevent HIV. "It's another milestone in more than three decades' worth of progress in tackling one of humanity's major health challenges." NHS England had fought not to offer the drug, arguing responsibility for paying for it should fall to local authorities not the NHS. The trial will aim to answer questions about how Prep should be offered on a wide scale across England. Harry Dodd, 25, is one of about 500 gay men in England who are taking Prep as part of a trial called Proud. He says: "I've seen the panic on the face of previous boyfriends when they are awaiting their [HIV test] results - it's a huge fear, and it affects everything you do. "To be able to have sex without having that fear hanging over you all the time is huge." Harry says taking Prep has still not become socially acceptable. "Too many people seem to think it will encourage a hedonistic lifestyle, but for me this is about saving lives," he says. "People reacted with cynicism when the contraceptive pill for women was first introduced. "For me, taking Prep has helped me to trust again, have relationships and build bridges, and that shouldn't be taken away." Read more on Harry's story Ian Green, chief executive of the Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "The priority must now be to make sure that the trial reaches everyone at risk of HIV, and that it is rolled out speedily across the whole country, by the end of this year at the very latest - spring 2018 is not soon enough. "To make sure no-one at risk of HIV is left behind, it is crucial that at the end of this trial, a clear process for routinely commissioning Prep on the NHS is agreed." Deborah Gold, the chief executive at the National Aids Trust, said: "This is a pivotal moment in the fight against HIV. "Prep, if targeted properly at those in need and at high risk of HIV, offers the possibility of transforming the English HIV epidemic. "We warmly welcome this announcement." Follow James on Twitter.

"Tonight was more important than sport," ex-United player Beckham said. The 42-year-old added it was "a big night for United but an even bigger night for the city and our country". Greater Manchester Police said the final would be a "poignant" occasion following Monday's attacks after an Ariana Grande pop concert, adding it was "right" for the game to go ahead despite also discussing postponing it. United fans and officials said before the final that the match was secondary to the "pain and suffering" in Manchester since the attack. On an emotional night in Sweden, United won their second major trophy of the season as they earned a 2-0 win against the Dutch side, securing Champions League football. "At a time when we are grieving for the families that have lost loved ones, we have a sport that has brought a little happiness at a difficult time," said Beckham, who played 394 games for United between 1992 and 2003. "We pray for peace," he added. United should organise a victory parade when they return to Manchester to help raise spirits in the city following the bombing, says former Red Devils defender Phil Neville. The 40-year-old was part of the Red Devils squad which celebrated winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup treble in 1999 with an open-top bus journey. "When we won the Champions League we paraded the trophy in the city centre, ending in the Arena and celebrated there. It was unbelievable," the ex-England defender told BBC Radio 5 live. "After what happened on Monday, United should parade the trophy around Manchester and finish at the Arena. "I think it would be special. "You should fill the streets of Manchester - Deansgate, St Peter's Square, St Ann's Square - and get the trophy back. "Football can do brilliant things so don't go off on holiday, get back to Manchester, get the trophy out and share the success with the city." As the final whistle blew in Stockholm, Manchester United supporters embraced and celebrated their success before breaking out into a heartfelt chorus of "Manchester, Manchester, Manchester". BBC Sport's Simon Stone described the atmosphere inside the Friends Arena during the final: "It had not begun to really feel like a high-stakes football match until the Ajax fans in the stadium joined in with the club songs as they were played out over the tannoy. "One of the traditions of a Uefa final is a familiar voice on the microphone, urging the respective bunch of supporters to increase the volume ahead of the combatants' arrival. "On Wednesday, it felt the heart wasn't in it. Not until the two teams lined up on the halfway line for a minute's silence that eventually turned into applause. "'We'll never die', sang the United fans, a song about the club's own tragedy in Munich, extended on behalf of its city in the wake of Monday's attack. "The 'Manchester - A City United' banner made its way up the lower tier behind the goal to manager Jose Mourinho's right.

"Others were let down by a charter flight they thought would bring them to Sweden being cancelled because organisers failed to attract enough bookings. Their reaction? Get in the car and drive... 1,400 miles to be precise. "But on game-day, these fans didn't quite know what to do. With all their heart they wanted Manchester United to win. It seeps out of every pore. "They also knew, for 90 minutes, some of the pain for some of those suffering, would not be quite so acute, before it came back and enveloped them again. In the scheme of things, the game doesn't matter." United supporters were given about 9,500 tickets for the final, and those inside the Friends Arena broke out into spontaneous and defiant applause during what was supposed to be a minute's silence before kick-off. Neville, who played 389 times for the Red Devils between 1995 and 2005, said they had "done the city proud". "The Manchester United fans were absolutely immense," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "I am not an emotional person but after that noise from the fans following the minute's silence, there was definitely a tear in my eye. "It was a wonderful evening. The atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic, we were still emotionally drained at the final whistle and our thoughts are still with people who lost their lives. "That's who our hearts and prayers are with." Neville also picked out United midfielder Paul Pogba, who scored the opening goal with a deflected shot, for special praise. "The moment of the match for me was just after the minute's silence when Pogba ran over to a banner that said 'the love we have for the people who lost their lives'," he said. "He acknowledged that banner and went around to every area where there were Manchester United fans. "He clapped them, he sent them his love and went out there and produced a performance." There wasn't quite the 120,000 estimated Ajax fans who flooded Amsterdam's Museum Square, but Manchester was awash with defiant United supporters amid a more sombre atmosphere. Some gathered at the Printworks, just a few hundred yards from Manchester Arena, the scene of Monday's attack, while others joined friends and fellow fans at pubs and clubs across the city. At the Old Nag's Head in the city centre, Red Devils fan Harry Charlton said the Europa League final gave the city and the country a chance to be "united". "I can see Thursday's headlines already," said the 33-year-old bricklayer. "It will just say 'United'. "It's about unity. Manchester United has always been the most hated team in the world, because of its success, but I think everyone wants us to win this time. "These attacks have hurt everybody. Everybody in the country." The Manchester United Supporters' Trust screened the match in front of about 2,000 fans and also held a collection for the victims of Monday's attack, which spokesman Sean Bones said had left the city "numb". "We want the team to represent Manchester United and represent Manchester," he added. "To give 100 per cent, and to show the very, very best of what Mancunian spirit is all about. "In many ways football, all of sudden, became very insignificant," said former Manchester United and Manchester City goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel. "In many ways I can't get excited about this game. I think it's very difficult to think about football." But the Dane added it also provided an opportunity for United "to show the world that in adversity we will show fighting spirit and there's no way we are going to give in to cowards who bring acts like that into the world".

The ruling said some data collection did not comply with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). But it added that proper statutory supervision was put in place last year. It was a "highly significant judgement", Privacy International said. As part of its review of the spy agencies' activities, the IPT examined the organisations' collection of communications data - involving the "who, where, when, how and with whom" was involved in conversations, but not their contents - and personal information about people. Such data is "vital for identifying and developing intelligence targets", according to GCHQ. Article 8 of the ECHR states, however, that all citizens have the right to a private life and that any interference with personal data must be lawful and necessary. "It is very significant," said Graham Smith of London law firm Bird & Bird. He added that much of the data collection had been carried out under an older piece of law - section 94 of the Telecommunications Act 1984. "It gave absolutely no clue at all that it could be used for this particular purpose," said Mr Smith. "Everyone accepts that what the agencies do operationally has to be secret, but the laws that say what they can and can't do shouldn't be secret." An official policy about how such data collection should be carried out lawfully came into force in February 2015 - this was put into practice by the intelligence agencies later the same year. It included guidance as to how collected data should be acquired, managed and destroyed The tribunal found that, prior to this, personal datasets compiled by spy agencies did not comply with Article 8 and were therefore "unlawful". "The powers available to the security and intelligence agencies play a vital role in protecting the UK and its citizens," said the Home Office in a statement. "We are therefore pleased the tribunal has confirmed the current lawfulness of the existing bulk communications data and bulk personal dataset regimes." It added that the government was "committed" to providing greater transparency and stronger safeguards for bulk data collection powers available to intelligence agencies. It follows a BBC Wales investigation focusing on the West London Vocational Training College in Cardiff. A Week In Week Out undercover reporter using fake qualifications was offered a loan to study there. The college said its students were all genuine, as far as it was concerned. A recruiter was secretly filmed at the college telling potential students they could cheat coursework and lie about their qualifications to obtain a publicly-funded loan. The college's owner, Bharat Bageja, has denied knowing of any wrongdoing in the recruitment of students. The Welsh government has declined to comment while investigations are ongoing Figures obtained by BBC Wales News via the Freedom of Information Act reveal tuition fees totalling £175,500 had been paid to the college by the end of November last year. Grants and loans for living costs amounting to £327,215 had been paid to students enrolled at the college, the Welsh government figures revealed. All payments to the college and its students were suspended on 27 November pending an investigation by South Wales Police into an alleged grant funding fraud at the college. Three people have been questioned. The Student Loans Company confirmed a number of students had withdrawn from studies at the Cardiff campus since payments were suspended. Nearly £4,000 in maintenance loans and grants have been repaid by students of the Cardiff campus since the end of November, they said. However there has been no repayment of any tuition fees. Concerns over the regulation of private colleges were raised by an assembly committee in October 2014. Announcing the suspension of payments to the college last November, Education Minister Huw Lewis said checks and balances were in place but no regulation system could be "100 per cent proof" against fraud. Allegri, 49, has steered Juve to three successive Serie A titles, two Champions League finals and three Coppa Italia triumphs since replacing Antonio Conte in July 2014. "Side by side, Juventus and Allegri have created history and legend," said a Juventus statement. "Now is the time to make the next step forwards together." It added: "Today's agreement extends a working relationship that has seen the Bianconeri consolidate their position as Italy's top team and also evolve into one of European football's major forces." In May 2016, former AC Milan boss Allegri extended his contract with Juve until the summer of 2018. Juventus finished four points ahead of second-placed Roma in 2016-17 to be crowned Italian champions for a sixth straight season. They also reached the final of the Champions League, losing 4-1 to Real Madrid in Cardiff last Saturday. Elsewhere in Serie A, Simone Inzaghi has signed a two-year contract extension tying him to Lazio until 2020, the club said on Wednesday. The 41-year-old coach enjoyed a positive 2016/17 season, guiding Lazio to fifth in Serie A and the Italian Cup final, which they lost to Juventus, meaning they will play in next season's Europa League. The 23-year-old, who has won praise for her whip-cracking, witty wordplay, hails from Croydon and is the cousin of grime artist Stormzy. The annual award aims to showcase the best new artists of the coming year, and is voted for by 170 DJs, music critics, radio producers and writers. "That is epic!" said Rose on learning she had made the top five. "Being on the longlist was an honour. This is just... wow. I really wasn't expecting that." Rose, who began making music in her spare time while working in a betting shop, has scored viral hits with songs like Skwod and Tight Up. She describes her sound as "really bassy, full of fun and full of energy". The Sound of... list launched in 2003 and has a track record in championing new and innovative acts, including Adele, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, Frank Ocean and Florence + The Machine. This year's top five will be revealed on BBC Radio 1 and online throughout the week, with the winner announced on Friday. Last year's victor was Jack Garratt, who praised the "very diverse" range of acts on the 2017 list, and encouraged fans to embrace new talent. "There's more music out there than just your favourite act," he said. "It all deserves respect and it all deserves love. "Even though there are 15 names on the longlist, there are hundreds more that definitely could have been. I think 2017 is going to be a very interesting year." According to the rules, the on the longlist acts should not be well known - so talent show contestants and members of famous bands launching a solo career are excluded. Artists must not have had a UK top 20 single or album before 30 October 2016 - although guest vocalists remain eligible.

Experts at the Dutch museum studied photos of the drawings ahead of a press conference unveiling a new book showcasing the sketches. The museum's researchers "were of the opinion that these could not be attributed to Vincent Van Gogh". Publisher Le Seuil said "their authenticity is well established". Written by art historian Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov, who specialises in Van Gogh, the book is titled Vincent Van Gogh, the Fog of Arles: The Rediscovered Sketchbook. The book claims the ink drawings were created in the accounts book of a hotel Van Gogh was staying at in the French city of Arles in 1888. Amsterdam's Van Gogh museum said in a statement that its experts had also examined some of the original drawings. The 56 high-resolution photographs "did not change their minds", they added. The Van Gogh Museum's director, Axel Ruger, said they had told the book's publisher about the museum's opinion on the sketches. Speaking to the BBC, Mr Ruger said of Ms Welsh-Ovcharov: "That's her opinion. She has some experience and knowledge as well. We may have to agree to disagree." Ms Welsh-Ovcharov has created a number of exhibitions on Van Gogh, including one at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. Researchers from the Van Gogh museum - widely accepted as the world's authorities on the artist - concluded that the style of the drawings were uncharacteristic of his work during the period and were unrefined, "clumsy" and "monotonous". The team said another telling point was that the drawings in the sketchbook were executed in brownish ink, and this type of ink has never been found in Van Gogh's drawings from the period in question. Experts also felt the artist was not very familiar with the places depicted, which was unlike Van Gogh. The Van Gogh Museum holds the largest collection of drawings by the artist. But the book's editor, Bernard Comment, stood by the authenticity of the sketches, saying that the Van Gogh Museum had been wrong before and had dismissed work that was later proved to be his. Le Seuil claimed the accounts book was found in the archives of the Cafe de la Gare in Arles where Van Gogh produced a prodigious amount of work over his year-long stay there.

Alan Strong, 52, was struck as he was walking along Littleton Road, Salford, at about 18:00 BST on 30 April and died later in hospital. The car was later found on Dalton Drive in Pendlebury. A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene. He was released on bail. A statement from Mr Strong's family said: "Alan was a loved son to Norma and the late Norman. He was kind and generous, especially to those in need. "He had a fondness for the elderly and children alike. He will be sadly missed by family and friends."

Felix, 29, dominated from start to finish to win in 49.26 seconds - the best time in the world this year. Bahamian Shaunae Miller took silver with Jamaican Shericka Jackson third. Defending champion Ohuruogu, 31, racing on the track she won Olympic gold seven years ago, faded on the home straight and finished in 50.63. Felix, the Olympic 200-metre champion held a commanding lead by 150m and off the final bend she was clear of her nearest rival Miller, who ran a personal best. Ohuruogu, was hoping to become the first woman to win three 400m world titles after golds in Moscow in 2013 and Osaka in 2007. But her preparations for Beijing were hampered by a hip injury early in the season. "I knew Felix was going to go out hard so I knew I had to try and match that and go out hard as well. But she had a kick that I didn't quite know what to do with. "You've just got to try and make the best of the situation. When the race is fluid you don't really think that much, but I think I was thinking quite a bit, like, 'my title's gone'. And I came last." BBC athletics commentator Steve Cram: "When Allyson Felix comes past you after 100m what does that do to you psychologically? It must have been soul-destroying for Christine. It was one race too far for her." Former British sprinter Darren Campbell on BBC Radio 5 live: "Christine kicked early because she tried to close the gap on Allyson Felix which is why she had nothing more to give down the straight. She should have stuck with her race." Injured Olympic 400m champion Sanya Richards-Ross on Radio 5 live: "That was phenomenal from Allyson Felix. She got out so quickly it put pressure on Christine. It's amazing to see her do this and defend the title for Team USA. I am so glad to call her my team-mate." Felix has world and Olympic titles at 200m and in the 4x400m relay, but this was her first major title in the event. The closest she came was her silver medal at the 2011 World Championships. "I wanted to challenge myself this year and I did and I'm happy I could be successful. I had to take advantage of the speed that I have and bring that to the 400m." In the women's hammer final, Sophie Hitchon broke her own British record twice with throws of 73.65m and then 73.86m. But the 24-year-old former junior world champion was just 16cm off the medal places. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's agonisingly close to a medal but coming fourth is really good," Hitchon told the BBC. "I had a rough year last year but two national records and two PBs in one competition, I am super happy with that." Poland's world record holder Anita Wlodarczyk produced the second longest hammer throw of all time to win the title with a new championship record. The 30-year-old, who set the world record with a throw of 81.08m earlier this month, secured gold with her fourth effort, a throw of 80.85m. China's Zhang Wenxiu claimed silver with her best throw of the season (76.33), while France's Alexandra Tavernier took bronze with 74.02 Media playback is not supported on this device Olympic champion Christian Taylor produced the second longest jump in triple jump history to regain his world title. On his final effort, the American leapt 18.21m - just eight centimetres short of Jonathan Edwards' world record. The Briton, whose record has stood for 20 years, was watching in the stands. "That was a remarkable jump," said the BBC Radio 5 live presenter. "Nothing we have seen in the competition had indicated he would jump that far but that was phenomenal." Cuba's Pedro Pablo Pichardo, Taylor's great rival throughout the season and a man who has also gone over 18m, took silver in 17.73m, while Portugal's Nelson Evora won bronze with a 17.52m leap. Olympic champion Aries Merritt stormed into the world 110m hurdles final in his penultimate race before undergoing a kidney transplant next week. The 30-year-old American clocked a season's best 13.08 seconds to win his semi-final in the quickest overall time for Friday's final in Beijing. Russia's two-time European champion Sergey Shubenkov was second fastest overall in 13.09 with defending champion David Oliver joint sixth in 13.17. Economist Stephen Bussell, a Welsh Government witness, said the wider impact of the scheme to Wales and the UK will be £1.17bn above its price tag. "This indicates the scheme represents value for money," said Mr Bussell. The Welsh Government wants to build a six-lane motorway south of Newport as the M4 is "not fit for purpose". Mr Bussell told the inquiry "costs of investment will be more than offset by the improvements in transport economic efficiency, safety and carbon emissions". The inquiry also heard how peak time traffic can crawl as slow as 20mph along the current M4 to the north of Newport and a data shows an incident, an accident or breakdown, occurs on Wales' busiest stretch of road every four to five days. The Welsh Government says a new motorway will boost the economy and Mr Bussell said: "Even before the effects of traffic incidents and atypical delays are considered, cost savings for businesses in the study area (of south Wales and the Bristol area ) are estimated to in the region of £30m per annum by 2037. "Businesses in South Wales will be the main beneficiaries, receiving £24m of cost savings per annum. "Traffic incidents can exacerbate delays and cause disruption to businesses and other users, resulting in poor journey time reliability. "Given the reliance on the M4, any disruption to the smooth operation of the motorway in South Wales imposes costs on individuals and businesses and has a negative impact on the economy as a whole." Wales is also at the bottom of a UK table measuring the strength of the economy. But Mr Bussell forecasts the new highway is expected to deliver a higher Gross Value Added of £81m per annum by 2037 or £1.6bn over 60 years - or £66m a year by 2037 or £1.3bn over 60 years in south Wales specifically. "In large part, Wales' poor relative economic performance is explained by a longstanding 'productivity gap' between Wales and the UK average," he said. "Research commissioned by the Welsh Government indicates that improved transport infrastructure has a role to play in reducing the productivity gap, both in respect of intra-regional transport and by improving connectivity between Wales and other UK regions, particularly London." Traffic consultant Bryan Whittaker, the Welsh Government's first expert witness, studied traffic data which found that average speeds were "significantly below" 50mph (80km/h) for the vast majority of Fridays in 2015 and on "a number of occasions" were below 30mph (48 km/h). He told the inquiry this suggested "it is at or is reaching capacity". He also said the current M4 around the Brynglas Tunnels bottleneck has a "higher prevalence of incidents" - such as accidents to breakdowns - than any other part of the motorway network he has "witnessed in my 38 years of professional experience". Opponents claim car use is declining but he told the inquiry latest Department for Transport figures show "record numbers" of vehicle travel. Mr Whittaker added traffic growth on the M4 around Newport has risen between 9% to 11% over the last four years, compared to the 6% Welsh average - peaking at 117,848 vehicles a day in 2016. His evidence also stated: "The inability to accurately predict journey times due to congestion can result in wasted time as individuals either arrive late for appointments or arrive early by allowing too much time for their journey. " Critics say that an improved M4 could lead the skilled workforce leaving Wales to work in England but Mr Bussell rejected those suggestions. "If they took that approach, the Welsh Government would look for protectionist measures like lobbying for higher tolls on the Severn Crossings or attempting to make the current M4 more clogged. He added: "In practice the scheme will also improve journey time reliability which will result in further cost savings and efficiency benefits for businesses. "It would enable improved interaction between businesses across the study area and would widen the effective pool of labour and skills available to firms. "Although more difficult to measure, the benefits that the scheme will deliver in improving perceptions of the ease of access to Wales could be felt more widely across the whole of south and south west Wales." It provides a clear and honest picture of what is happening to some extremely vulnerable men and women while in hospital. While journalists can report what sources tell them, this information comes first hand. It is from those who work at the very heart of the health care system. The detail is shocking as it lifts the lid on how some patients are being treated; it also reveals the pressure under which some staff are having to work. It is also shocking that staff feel they have to go to such lengths to be heard, to be noticed and, in their words, to try and make a difference. In the letter they say they cannot stand by and allow vulnerable patients to be treated in an "inequitable way". Significantly, they also remind management they are trying to meet elective targets and do the same work with 40 beds that used to be done with 80 beds. And all the while there have been no additional nursing posts. In January, the BBC revealed the number of scheduled orthopaedic operations that were cancelled due to the lack of hospital beds available at Musgrave Park Hospital. Within several months that number stood at over 100. My sources now say that about 250 fewer orthopaedic procedures were performed between January and March this year compared to the same period last year. It is also my understanding that consultants on both hospital sites are furious that patients are being transferred without their consent. Lots of people are affected by this story. Those patients who are being transferred by ambulance late at night and the nurses under pressure to find a bed for them. Also, the men and women whose scheduled operations are being cancelled as there are not enough hospital beds in the system. While part of the problem is fewer beds, the BBC understands that there are also fewer staff, including orthopaedic surgeons. Nursing staff off on sick leave often are not replaced. There are gaps in the system - all of this highlighted in last week's RQIA report into elderly people's care in hospitals. While whistle-blowing is encouraged - actually doing so takes a great deal of courage. Sadly these nurses must have felt that, in order to make their voices heard and to speak on behalf of those patients unable to speak up for themselves, such drastic action was necessary. The Malaysian foreign ministry said the reports of spying could "severely damage" relations. It said a protest note was handed over. China and Indonesia have already protested at the claims that Australian embassies were being used to monitor phones and collect data for the US. Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman said "such activities are not done amongst close friends". Mr Anifah said his Australian counterpart, Julie Bishop, replied that it was not her government's policy to comment on intelligence matters, but she accepted Malaysia's concerns. The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) has reported that Australian diplomatic posts in Asia were being used to intercept phone calls and data. The reports were based on a US National Security Agency document leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has declined to comment on the reports. Prime Minister Tony Abbott said: "Every Australian governmental agency, every Australian official... operates in accordance with the law." Christopher Penman, 58, was found dead in his bed in Beaumont Leys, Leicester, on 22 February. He had been stabbed 23 times. Police believe Awat Akram, 25, of Beaumanor Road, Leicester, killed Mr Penman in an act of jealousy over his ex-partner. At Leicester Crown Court, Akram was told he would serve at least 28 years. The court heard how on the evening Mr Penman's body was discovered, Akram, who is deaf, went up to police at the cordon around the house and gestured to officers he ought to be arrested. Leicestershire Police believe Akram broke into the house, looking for his ex-partner, a deaf woman who was then in a relationship with Mr Penman. Speaking after the trial, Det Insp Shaun Orton said: "This was a particularly challenging investigation, as not just Akram is deaf, but the majority of witnesses were also deaf or hard of hearing. "Akram killed Christopher in a brutal manner. He then went on to deny his involvement in the murder and told police several lies designed to mislead and obstruct the investigation. "I know it was particularly traumatic for Christopher's family listening to the details of how he was killed whilst Akram showed no remorse in court." In a statement after sentencing, Mr Penman's family said: "Dad [Christopher] was a good person; he would not have hurt a soul. "Everyone in the deaf community will also deeply miss him. He was taken away too young and in such a horrible way."

Archaeologists have been studying an area at Rendlesham, about four miles (6km) from the Sutton Hoo burial site. Faye Minter, project co-ordinator, said the remains of a 23m (75ft) by 9m (30ft) structure could have once been a royal hall or palace. And she said it was "likely" there are "other royal burial sites" like Sutton Hoo dotted along the River Deben. The hall find, said Ms Minter, of Suffolk County Council's archaeological unit, might be the same "palace" referred to by the Venerable Bede in the 8th Century. For more archaeology stories follow our Pinterest board The remains at the 120-acre (50 hectare) site were found with aerial photography and geophysical surveys. "We have discovered what we think is a large Anglo Saxon Hall, which could be the palace itself, if you could call it that," she said. "We're convinced we've found a royal settlement of very high status, and I suppose it would be a large hall rather than a palace as it would spring to mind to us." The discovery will be announced later at a conference in Bury St Edmunds. Asked whether a second burial site similar to Sutton Hoo might be found, Ms Minter said: "We hope there will be more to come. Whether or not they would be ship burials like Sutton Hoo, who can say?" About 4,000 items, including intricate metalwork, coins and weights, have been found at Rendlesham. About 1,000 of them are Anglo-Saxon, Ms Minter said. Dr Helen Geake of the British Museum said while the "palace" find was "incredibly exciting", it could be one of a number dotted around East Anglia. "There would have been quite a few of these palaces or halls dotted around," she said. "The king [of the time] would have toured his kingdom in order to show his magnificence to his people, so he would have had lots of places to base himself around East Anglia." It is thought Rendlesham and Sutton Hoo were intimately linked - with Sutton Hoo being the burial place of the king at Rendlesham. The discovery at Sutton Hoo was made in 1939 when the landowner Edith Pretty asked archaeologist Basil Brown to investigate the largest of several mounds on her property. Beneath the mound was the imprint of a 27m (88ft) ship. At its centre was a ruined burial chamber packed with treasures. The 26-year-old has scored 27 tries in 128 appearances for Quins, despite spending over a year out with a serious neck injury he suffered in 2013. "My decision to stay was a quick and easy one," he told the club website. "The club and its supporters really helped me during my long-term injury and it's something I'm truly grateful for. I want to repay the faith." Harlequins have not disclosed the length of Lowe's new deal at the Twickenham Stoop. The King's Arms at Fleggburgh had listed foie gras - made by force-feeding corn to ducks or geese - on its tasting menu for 13 and 14 February. Owner and chef Mark Dixon said staff were threatened over the phone and on social media by "vegan activists". Norfolk Police said they were aware but would not investigate further as no direct threats had been made. "They were very aggressive, calling me vile, [asking] have I got no morals?," he said. He claimed he pub also received "20 to 30" false bookings on its website and messages on its Facebook page that protesters would turn up at the pub on Saturday evening. Read more on this and other Norfolk stories Restaurant manager Natasha Rook said she did not believe it was fair on staff who "did not make these decisions" to put up with the threats. "They [the callers] said to me 'how about we come we kill you, force feed you the same way you are doing to those birds?'." Foie gras literally means "fatty liver" and is illegal to produce in the UK under animal welfare laws. Mr Dixon said foie gras was not a regular feature of the pub's menu but he believed it was acceptable to serve. "It's not as it was 20 or 30 years ago, it's done as humanely as possible. "If they can sell it [in the UK], then it must meet health and safety standards." The Greek government announced an "indefinite" ban after violence at Sunday's Super League match between Steele's Panathinaikos and Olympiakos. But it was later announced the ban would be for one week. "Don't be so ridiculous suspending any matches," Steele, who moved to Greece last summer, tweeted on Wednesday. Steele helped Panathinaikos win the Athens derby 2-1. Panathinaikos fans welcomed the visitors with a barrage of flares, while Olympiakos president Vangelis Marinakis was targeted with objects. "Nails, rocks, bottles...this felt like the bombardment of Iraq," Marinakis said after the game. The government took action in a bid to crack down on football violence. The suspension also follows a brawl between club officials at a board meeting on Tuesday. But Steele, whose former clubs also include Peterborough United and West Bromwich Albion, does not believe a ban will solve the problem in Greece. "It's total nonsense and won't solve a thing," he added on Twitter. "The heart and effort from all players is the key." The incident happened as the teenager and a 15-year-old boy were walking on Fernhill Road, near Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, at about 14:15 on Sunday. A light-green Vauxhall Corsa mounted the pavement and hit the boy then made off towards the Castlemilk area. The boy is in a stable condition at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The 15-year-old boy was not injured. The car was recovered in Scarrel Gardens, Castlemilk, a short time after the incident and police said inquiries were continuing to trace the occupants. Det Con Martin McKendrick said: "Thankfully the victim was not badly injured, but this was a deliberate and very dangerous act which could have had far more serious consequences and we need to trace those responsible immediately. "I would appeal to anyone who was on Fernhill Road around the time of the incident and witnessed what happened to get in touch. "I would also ask anyone living in the Castlemilk area, near to where the vehicle was recovered, who saw anything suspicious to contact police." Police said the hit-and-run was reported after both teenagers made their way home after the incident. Seen through one prism, hospitals were facing record levels of demand for care and coped well in the circumstances. At the same time, all the key NHS performance targets in England were missed, with the A&E figure the worst since records began 12 years ago. Looking first at the demand side of the equation, it is clear from the data that pressures are increasing relentlessly. There were more than two million attendances at A&E units in March (though not necessarily that number of patients as some may have gone to hospital more than once) - this was the highest for any month since data was first available in 2010. So what is causing the surge in patient numbers? There seem to be no clear and obvious explanations. Problems with social care have been blamed for delays transferring elderly patients out of hospitals. They are now being blamed for higher numbers arriving at the front door. For older people being looked after in the home, the care provided by a local council or family may be variable so a referral to A&E may increasingly be a default option. With GP services highly stretched, some patients at the margin may decide that a visit to A&E is more desirable than a wait for an surgery appointment. Clinicians in emergency departments report there are rising numbers of people who are not familiar with general practice and how it works. A higher population and older patients living longer and developing more chronic conditions are other familiar factors. NHS England and the Department of Health understandably argued that the NHS was coping well in the face of record patient volume. But NHS Providers - which represents hospitals and other trusts in England - said the latest figures revealed "a maxed-out health service struggling under the weight of financial strain and increasing numbers of patients". The Nuffield Trust thinktank argued that at a time when the NHS was supposed to be pushing through radical changes to the delivery of care, "More people than ever are being admitted to hospital in emergencies. More people than ever are staying in hospital when they shouldn't have to because there are no proper arrangements for them to leave." Partly as a consequence of the demand pressures, the supply side of the NHS in England struggled. The key four hour target for treating or assessing patients in A&E was badly missed again. It was well short of the 95% benchmark, with an outcome of 87.3% in March - the lowest since such records began in 2004. This was behind Scotland's 93.1%, but ahead of Wales and Northern Ireland. Key targets for cancer waits and referral to treatment by consultants were missed again, as well as the ambulance performance benchmarks. There may be disagreement over the precise causes of the increase in patient numbers. But there is a growing consensus amongst health experts that there is a systemic problem which will need time to tackle. NHS England has transformation plans designed to treat more patients out of hospitals but that is a long term aspiration. Shorter term, the waiting times just seem to keep on rising. Steven Jackson, 40, battered and stabbed former partner Kimberley MacKenzie at a flat in Montrose before cutting up her body in a bathtub. Ms MacKenzie, 37, sustained at least 11 blows to the head and was stabbed more than 40 times. A murder charge against co-accused Michelle Higgins was found not proven. But the 29-year-old was found guilty of helping to dispose of Ms MacKenzie's remains. Judge Lady Rae told Jackson and Higgins: "I have difficulty finding appropriate words to describe these horrific, depraved crimes." She said to the jury: "This is one of the most distressing cases I have ever heard." The verdicts followed a five-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow. Jackson and Higgins will be sentenced at the High Court in Livingston on 17 January. The trial was told Jackson targeted Kimberley MacKenzie in a frenzied attack with two knives, a hammer and a large paint scraper on 27 October last year The following day he chopped up her body in the bath and, with the assistance of girlfriend Higgins, dumped the body parts in four bins in Montrose. The pair were captured on CCTV walking through the streets of Montrose carrying a child's rucksack and a green suitcase containing more body parts including Ms MacKenzie's head. The suitcase and rucksack were dumped by the pair at a property and put in the shower cubicle. During the trial, each of the accused blamed the other for murdering Ms MacKenzie. Higgins claimed that she was so terrified of Jackson that she helped him dispose of Ms MacKenzie's body after he had killed her. In her evidence to the trial, Higgins said Jackson launched the attack minutes after Ms MacKenzie visited the home she and Jackson shared in Montrose's Market Street. As she sat in an armchair drinking a cup of tea and chatting to Higgins, Jackson walked up to Ms MacKenzie and hit her on the right side of the head with a hammer. The force of the blow knocked her to the ground and, as she lay helpless, Jackson stabbed her more than 40 times before bludgeoning her again on the head with the hammer. The final blow to Ms MacKenzie's head was with a large paint scraper. As she lay dying from massive head injuries, Jackson and Higgins went out to buy heroin and were captured on CCTV walking hand-in-hand through Montrose High Street. The following day, the pair dragged her body into the bath and butchered it after Higgins went out and bought a saw. Ms MacKenzie's body was cut into 12 pieces and her upper torso, lower torso, a leg and feet were dumped in four bins in Montrose. The rest of her body including the head and thighs was packed into a child's rucksack and a suitcase and left in the shower cubicle of another house in Montrose. Higgins told of holding open black bin bags into which Jackson would drop body parts and then she would tie up the bags. She denied a suggestion by prosecutor Ashley Edwards QC that she had taken "a shot" of sawing up the body. The court was told by Higgins that initially they stored the wrapped body parts behind the tumble drier in their kitchen before dumping them. Jackson was seen by neighbours acting suspiciously near the communal bins. Ms MacKenzie was reported missing by her father Terence MacKenzie, 66, on 28 October last year. He told of the last time he saw her in Montrose High Street about 11.30 on the day she died. When police visited Market Street days later as part of their missing person investigation they noticed a "smell of death" next to the bins in the communal close. When officers spoke to Jackson he told them: "Michelle hit Kim in the head with a hammer. "I finished her off by cutting her throat." He also confessed to his ex-wife Barbara Whyte that he had killed Ms MacKenzie and chopped up her body. Police immediately sealed off the area and stopped scheduled bin collections while they searched for Ms MacKenzie's body. Following the verdicts, Lady Rae excused the jurors - nine men and five women - from jury duty for 10 years. Damien McLaughlin was arrested and charged following the shooting dead of David Black in November 2012. Mr McLaughlin was granted bail in May 2014 and has not been seen by police since November last year. The 40-year-old, from Kilmascally Road near Ardboe, is charged with aiding and abetting murder. He is also accused of possessing items to be used in terrorism and belonging to an illegal organisation. The prosecution submitted that it appeared the accused has absconded in advance of his trial which was due to begin on 20 February. But when questioned by the judge, the counsel for the crown conceded that given ongoing investigations about Mr McLaughlin's whereabouts it may be premature to proceed with a trial in his absence. The prosecution said they could not think of a previous case of this nature in which the trial had proceeded in the absence of the accused. The defence applied for the trial to be adjourned indefinitely or at least for a reasonable period of time. The defence barrister also told the court that Mr McLaughlin's present legal team would not represent him if the trial was to proceed in his absence. A judge said he was mindful of the fact that the delays in this case were causing distress to Mr Black's family - but he said given ongoing investigations and the fact that a European arrest warrant has been issued it would be premature to proceed with a trial in absence. The case will be reviewed again at the end of April unless Mr McLaughlin is apprehended or hands himself in before then. At that stage the court will decide whether or not the trial in absence can proceed. FHM was launched in 1985 under the title For Him Magazine. Zoo was launched in 2004. An online statement from publisher Bauer Media read: "Unfortunately it's true and it has been announced today the intention to suspend publication of FHM." The statement added that it had been "an absolute joy producing the magazine over the years". "Thank you for all your support, we will keep you updated with developments over the coming weeks." During the 1990s, FHM dominated the men's market and was published in 27 countries, including Pakistan and India. It claimed that its annual poll of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World "helped propel the careers of many well-known actresses, musicians and models". The magazine industry has been particularly vulnerable to online competition, and "lads' magazines" have been struggling to hold on to their readers. In the last 10 years, FHM's circulation has fallen from about 500,000 to below 100,000. In the last 12 months, rivals Nuts and Loaded have both closed their doors. The publishers said: "Men's media habits have continually moved towards mobile and social." However, it did not specifically blame the online market for its closure. It said that FHM and Zoo had a combined digital audience of more than five million. Bailee-Rae Parker was having lunch at Ysgol Gymraeg Coed Y Gof in Pentrebane when the fruit lodged in her throat. Teaching assistant Sean Canham performed the Heimlich manoeuvre then teacher Alun Evans dislodged the grape with a back-slap. Head teacher Mike Hayes said Bailee-Rae's mother has been in to school to say thank you personally. He added: "We have reminded all our parents to cut grapes, cherry tomatoes, and similar fruit into quarters." The advert, showing a lioness looking down the barrel of a gun with Mr Zuma in the background, was removed from the main airport in Johannesburg last year. Campaign group Avaaz said airport authorities violated freedom of expression by pulling down its advert. Asia is a lucrative market for lion bones, used in traditional medicines. Official statistics show that South Africa increased its export of lion bones by 250% between 2008 and 2010, Avaaz says. It placed the advert at OR Tambo International airport to target tourists, it says. The Airports Company SA (Acsa) ordered its removal after nine days because of the potential "public relations disaster" for South Africa, the Johannesburg High Court heard, according to the South African Press Association (Sapa). The advert said, "Our lions are being slaughtered to make bogus sex potions for Asia. Will President Zuma save them? Urge him to stop the deadly bone trade now." Acsa communications chief Solomon Makgale had objected to the advert because of its "implicit message" that Mr Zuma was "standing by while our lions are being killed and is thus complicit in the killings", Avaaz lawyer Stephen Budlender told the court, Sapa reports. However, the advert was not defamatory nor did it promote hate speech, he is quoted as saying. Its removal was in breach of Avaaz's constitutionally enshrined right to freedom of expression, Mr Budlender added. South Africa's Environment Minister Edna Molewa told parliament in May last year that a moratorium on the trade in lion bones could not be imposed because it did not "negatively impact on the survival of the species in the wild", local media reported at the time. The lion bones being exported came from "canned hunting" farms, where lions are bred for commercial purposes, rather than from the wild, she was quoted as saying. Many foreigners visit South Africa to see wild animals at famous game reserves such as Kruger National Park (KNP) and Hluhluwe Umfolozi. In March, conservationists said the population of Africa's lions had fallen by about 80% over the last 50 years and there could be as few as 20,000 to 30,000 of the big cats left in the wild. However, fencing at parks in South Africa and Tanzania had helped the populations to grow, they said. Some of the big cats have been killed because they are perceived to be a threat to livestock, and competition for land and over-hunting of their prey have reduced their numbers even further. The lobby group cut its economic growth forecasts and says the economy will grow by 2% in 2016 and 2017, down from a previous forecast of 2.3% and 2.1%. It said Brexit uncertainty was having a "tangible impact" on spending plans. But the forecast is based on the assumption that "we stay in - it's not a forecast of the effects of Brexit," said CBI boss Carolyn Fairbairn. She said: "A dark cloud of uncertainty is looming over global growth, particularly around weakening emerging markets and the outcome of the EU referendum, which is chilling some firms' plans to invest." "At present, the economic signals are mixed - we are in an unusually uncertain period." Household spending will be the main driver of economic growth. The first rise in interest rates will not now be for another year, it said. It forecasts the first move will be in the second quarter of 2017, to 0.75%, according to the business group's forecast. Interest rates have been held at 0.5% since 2009. Ms Fairburn told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I was with a building society in Wales recently where investment decisions and housing decisions were being postponed. "I've been talking to advertisers, broadcasters who are seeing slowdowns in the advertising market and some construction companies, so pretty widespread across the economy people are waiting to see what the outcome will be." Asked if she agreed with the Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, that Britain could go into a technical recession if Britain left the European Union, she said most economists would agree there would be a shock to the economy. "How long and how deep will depend on how quickly we do trade deals. "The process of leaving is very complicated - it's likely to take a long time and trade deals are hard to do so our own forecast with PWC does also show the possibility of a technical recession. So yes we would absolutely agree with it, it's a significant shock." Separately, growth in wages is likely to remain "stuck in the slow lane" until the end of the decade, according to a survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). It suggests that pay will rise by 1.7% in the next year, as the "jobs-rich, pay-poor" economy continues. Employees are unlikely to see much of a boost to their pay, the HR body, said after surveying more than 1,000 businesses. Since the financial crisis, pay growth has struggled to keep up with rising prices. Last year, wage increases did outstrip the rate of inflation but levels are still historically low. The latest figures are due out this week. Low inflation, available skilled workers and a lack of productivity growth are working together to reduce the economic pressure for employers to pay their staff more, the CIPD said. At the same time, firms are juggling increased costs to employing people. Mark Beatson, chief economist at the CIPD, said: "The UK is now in its eighth year of productivity 'go-slow'... employers are having to manage the consequences of government-imposed increases to the cost of employing people. "The National Living Wage and roll-out of pensions auto-enrolment were introduced to improve the living standards of low-paid employees, but this can only happen without significant job losses if the productivity of low-paid employees also increases." The new mandatory National Living Wage (NLW) came into force in April. It requires employers to pay workers aged 25 and over at least £7.20 an hour. Mr Beatson said that it would be no surprise if companies chose easier options - such as reducing hours, benefits and pay rises as a result. He called on the government to give more practical advice and support for businesses. John Cunningham came to Boston in 1999. Like many Irish immigrants to the US, he arrived on a 90-day visa for summer work. But then he settled in, worked as an electrician and ran his own company, remaining in the country without authorisation. "All of a sudden you turn around, so much time has gone by, and you start to realise what is going to be in store for yourself for the future," Cunningham said in a March interview with the Irish Times. On 16 June, nearly two decades later, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents came to his home to arrest him. He was deported to Ireland on 5 July. Because he arrived in the US under the visa waiver programme, one commonly used by European immigrants, he had waived his right to a hearing. Ronnie Millar, who runs Boston's Irish International Immigrant Center, thinks Cunningham's decision to share his experiences and speak out for the rights of unauthorised immigrants in the United States made him a target for deportation. ICE would only confirm that his arrest was due to his visa overstay. Cunningham became the first high-profile Irish immigrant deported under President Donald Trump, and it's created a chilling effect in Boston. "There were shock waves sent through the community, a disbelief that this was actually happening," said Millar, a close friend of Cunningham's. It is a chill felt by people like Jerry. He asked to be identified by only his first name because he remains unauthorised to live in the US and fears deportation. When Jerry first arrived in the US on a three-month visa waiver in the summer of 2011, he hadn't made up his mind about returning to Ireland. "The lifestyle, the work, everything was just better here at the time. So things just kind of happened," he said. "I had a return ticket booked. I just never got on the plane." The Migration Policy Institute estimates there are 16,000 undocumented Irish living in the US. The Irish Embassy in Washington puts that number closer to 50,000. Most live in Boston, New York or Chicago. Like Jerry, many are hiding in plain sight, navigating a difficult world of privilege and panic as white, undocumented immigrants. "I don't think anyone is outright targeting people who look like me," Jerry said, "But there's still a fear. You could be walking in the street and bump into the wrong person, you can get pulled over while driving, walk into the wrong building or show the wrong ID." "Most people think undocumented and they think people who come across the southern border," Cunningham said in an interview with this reporter a year before his arrest. "They're not thinking about the Irish guy who lives right next to them." Jerry, Millar and Cunningham all acknowledged that, as white men, they can fly under the radar of those who associate unauthorised immigrants with Mexico and Central America. Cunningham recalled local police and immigration officials not questioning his status during stops. He felt that he was given a pass because of his Irish accent. He wondered if the officers would have treated him differently if he were black or brown. As a whole, white and other non-Latino immigrants are targeted for arrest and detention at disproportionately lower rates, says Randy Capps of the Migration Policy Institute. "It's the Latino immigrants from Mexico and Central America that are overrepresented in terms of arrests and deportations," said Capps. Accusations of unequal treatment and racial profiling among immigrant communities have also sparked criticism in Boston about local media attention to Cunningham's arrest. Carol Rose, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, said that for every one story of a white immigrant who faces deportation, there are many other stories of non-white immigrant experiences not told. Rose points to Boston's Francisco Rodríguez, a Salvadoran immigrant who, after two denied asylum requests, had been granted a stay of removal every year since 2011. That changed this year under President Donald Trump, who greatly broadened which immigrants the government considers a priority for deportation. Rodriguez was arrested when he arrived for a check-in with immigration authorities in June and remains in custody while fighting his deportation to El Salvador. Critics also point to racial bias in how Cunningham's story was told. Julio Varela, co-host for Futuro Media's In the Thick podcast and a Boston native, has often challenged what he calls an "Irish immigrant privilege" in local media. In a column on the Latino Rebels blog he argues Irish and other white immigrants like Cunningham are more often portrayed as model community members undeserving of deportation. It's why the Irish International Immigrant Center offers its legal and social services to more than Irish immigrants. Christina Freeman, a lawyer at the centre, said their "know your rights" workshops often include talk about racial bias and law enforcement. The participants "know there is a racial bias, they've experienced it". "You look around the room and see who's in there and there's not one white face in the crowd," Freeman said. "It's because the teenagers being stopped the most often are teenagers of colour." While white undocumented immigrants may benefit from blending in, there is still an impact. Millar recalls his centre aiding an Irish woman so embarrassed to reveal her immigration status to her American-born family that when a parent died back in Ireland, she instead stayed in a hotel in the US to give her family the illusion she went home, rather than admit that she's undocumented and risk not gaining re-entry into the US. Following Trump's electoral victory, Millar said there was an increased fear that Boston's previously welcoming stance toward Irish immigrants would soon change. Those fears were compounded following Cunningham's arrest, he adds. "We are not in a good place as a society," Millar said. "As a nation, we've really lost our way, who we are and our values - being a country that's made up of immigrants." The World is a co-production of the BBC World Service, PRI and WGBH.

According to the research, published in the Journal of Ecology, the British countryside will never look the same again. The paper says that the ash will most likely be "eliminated" in Europe. This could mirror the way Dutch elm disease largely wiped out the elm in the 1980s. Warning over ash dieback disease 100,000 trees destroyed over disease How to spot ash dieback Ash trees are a key part of the treescape of Britain. You don't have to go to the countryside to see them. In and around towns and cities there are 2.2 million. In woodland, only the oak is more common. However, according to a review led by Dr Peter Thomas of Keele University and published in the Journal of Ecology, "between the fungal disease ash dieback and a bright green beetle called the emerald ash borer, it is likely that almost all ash trees in Europe will be wiped out - just as the elm was largely eliminated by Dutch elm disease". Ash dieback, also known as Chalara, is a disease that was first seen in Eastern Europe in 1992. It now affects more than 2 million sq km, from Scandinavia to Italy. It was identified in England in 2012 in a consignment of imported infected trees. It has since spread from Norfolk and Suffolk to South Wales. Caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, it kills the leaves, then the branches, trunk and eventually the whole tree. It has the potential to destroy 95% of ash trees in the UK. The emerald ash borer is a bright green beetle that, like ash dieback, is native to Asia. It's not yet in the UK but is spreading west from Moscow at a rate of 25 miles (41 km) a year and is thought to have reached Sweden. The adult beetles feed on ash trees and cause little damage. However the larvae bore under the bark and in to the wood, killing the tree. According to Dr Thomas: "Our European ash is very susceptible to the beetle. It is only a matter of time before it spreads across the rest of Europe - including Britain - and the beetle is set to become the biggest threat faced by ash in Europe, potentially far more serious than ash dieback." This won't just change our landscape - it will have a severe impact on biodiversity. 1,000 species are associated with ash or ash woodland, including 12 types of bird, 55 mammals and 239 invertebrates. Mr Thomas said, "Of these, over 100 species of lichens, fungi and insects are dependent upon the ash tree and are likely to decline or become extinct if the ash was gone. "Some other trees such as alder, small-leaved lime and rowan can provide homes for some of these species... but if the ash went, the British countryside would never look the same again." One small hope is that some cloned ash trees have shown resistance against the fungus. But that won't protect them against the beetle. Follow Claire on Twitter. The tourists, set a target of 490, began the final day on 382-8 and were on target for a famous victory until Asad Shafiq fell for 137 at 449-9. Yasir Shah was run out by Steve Smith's direct hit from second slip four balls later as the home side won by 39 runs. The record for the highest successful Test chase is West Indies' 418-7 to beat Australia in Antigua in 2003. However, Pakistan's 450 all out equals the third highest score made in the fourth innings of any Test. Man of the match Shafiq, who reached his century just before the end of day four, had expertly shepherded the tail, sharing half-century stands for the seventh, eighth and ninth wicket - the first time this had happened in a Test - with Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Yasir. But when Shafiq fended off a Mitchell Starc bouncer to David Warner at gully, the Australians were swiftly able to wrap up victory in the 22nd over of the final day of this day-night encounter as Yasir fell after skipper Smith's direct hit caught him out of his crease. The three-match series continues with the traditional Boxing Day Test in Melbourne on 26 December. Emergency calls for the Highlands and Islands will now be handled by staff based in Dundee. SFRS said they were working from "hi-spec modular accommodation" near to where a new North Control building is being constructed at MacAlpine Road. Dundee already handles calls for north east Scotland following the closure of Aberdeen's control room last month. SFRS said the public would see no difference in how calls were handled. The fire service said it had "worked closely" with staff at Inverness "to accommodate their needs" throughout the process to close the Highland site and shift call handling to Dundee. Staff who have decided to take voluntary severance, or early retirement, will continue to work to ensure "the smooth transition of operations for a period afterwards", said SFRS. Two members of staff from Inverness have decided to take up jobs at the control room in Dundee. Construction of North Control is expected to be completed in March next year. The control room closures were approved in 2014.

The Ireland captain, 30, struck a century as Warwickshire beat Sussex on Monday to stay in the hunt for a quarter-final spot in the One-Day Cup. "We're going well in red-ball cricket and you've got to get runs to get back into the side," said Porterfield. "I feel in decent nick and I've just got to be ready for the opportunity." Porterfield played the last of his four Championship matches in the Bears' defeat by Durham in late May but, with the side third in the Division One table, he understands why it has been hard getting another crack. "When you're winning and playing good cricket, then you can't complain," Porterfield told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. "All you can do is look after your own game and make sure that's in order for when that opportunity comes along. "It's a long season and we've still got four big games left in the Championship to go as high as we can." With the Bears now 50 points adrift of Yorkshire in the Division One table and having played a game more, their most realistic chance of silverware comes in one-day cricket. The defending T20 Blast champions have clinched their place back at Finals Day and know a win against Kent in Wednesday's last pool game should see them through to the quarter-finals of the One-Day Cup. "We're playing well and winning games in all formats and up there in all competitions," added Porterfield. "When the side's like that you've got to stay on top of your game." The tone was set in the opening minute when Michael Cheek converted at the near post, but Southport first drew level when Jack Higgins scrambled home after a quarter of an hour before Josh Thompson's header put them ahead. Andrai Jones profited from a goalkeeping error almost immediately after in the 28th minute but Manny Parry closed the gap moments later before Oliver Muldoon's floated free-kick levelled matters after 36 matters. Another Muldoon free-kick was turned into his own net by Higgins as Braintree, having trailed 3-1, ended a breathless first-half leading 4-3 at the Merseyrail Community Stadium. Southport were level after 56 minutes when Jamie Allen netted from the spot after Braintree goalkeeper Sam Beasant had brought down Jones, but the visitors had the final say eight minutes later when Jack Midson headed home from a corner.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up. The fragile piece of wood is all that remains of the Nanteos Cup, a wooden chalice named after the mansion in Aberystwyth where it was once kept. Some believe it was the cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper and that it has healing powers. It was stolen in 2014 before being returned to its owners a year later. It has now been donated to the library in Aberystwyth where thousands of people are expected to view it over the coming months. Pedr ap Llwyd, director of collections and public programmes, said visitors would finally be able to view the "mysterious object". "This is truly a remarkable object and a very interesting addition to the national collections." The cup is claimed to have been brought to Britain by Joseph of Arimathea after the death of Christ and then taken to Nanteos Mansion by seven monks from Strata Florida, Ceredigion, during the reign of Henry Vlll. The house was then owned by the Powell family and, after the monks died, they took possession of it for centuries. Legend says the cup, made of olive wood or wych elm, is sacred. Owner Margaret Powell kept the chalice locked in a cupboard in a library and the sick travelled to Nanteos to drink from it. However, some experts have said it was made 1,400 years after the crucifixion. It originally measured approximately 12cm by 12cm (4.7in by 4.7in) but now measures 10cm by 8.5cm (3.9in by 3.3in) and is held together by wire staples and kept in a blue velvet bag. After many years it left Nanteos Mansion and came into the ownership of the Steadman family in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, who kept it in a bank vault in Wales. In 2014, it was loaned to a seriously ill woman because of its supposed healing properties, but burglars stole it while the woman was in hospital. After police appeals and a reward being offered, it was returned to its owners. The government will soon introduce legislation allowing it to strip dual citizens fighting in Iraq or Syria of their Australian citizenship. People working in Australia to support terror groups would also be targeted by the changes. Concern has been rising since mid-2014 about Australians fighting for the Islamic State militant group. Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the legislation, due to come before parliament in June, was "all about combating terrorism". "We face an increasing threat from those in our midst who would do us harm," Mr Abbott said at a press conference in Canberra on Tuesday. He said at least 100 Australians were fighting with terror groups in the Middle East, and as many as half of them had dual citizenship. Another 150 people in Australia were known to be supporting such groups, while Australia's intelligence agency, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), was investigating about 400 high-priority terrorist cases. "This could be the most serious national security challenge we face in our life time," Mr Abbott said. Officials are worried about the effect on domestic security of people returning from conflict zones in the Middle East, as well as of those who support them and their activities. Australia already has the power to confiscate the passports of people suspected of planning to go and fight overseas. About 100 passports have already been cancelled on national security grounds. In recent months, there has been a series of raids in Australian cities of people suspected of being involved in terror activities. Mr Abbott said the government would ensure no-one became stateless and that any decision to strip citizenship from an Australian would be subject to judicial review. People convicted of terrorism offences, regardless of citizenship, would be jailed. If they no longer had Australian citizenship, they would likely be deported, he said. But someone could lose their citizenship without being convicted of an offence. The new laws will be based on overseas models, in particular those in the UK. "Australia is not acting alone here and we are not ahead of the pack ... We have taken advice from our partners," Mr Abbott said. The legislation might also hold ramifications for second-generation Australians because the government is looking at whether it would strip them of citizenship if they were entitled to citizenship of another country but did not actually have it. Dr Andrew Platten, 55, was cycling in Bingley, when he was hit by Akash Rashid's car in July 2016. He died at the scene. Rashid, 22, of Brantwood Grove, Heaton, admitted a number of offences at Bradford Crown Court in January. Sentencing, Judge David Hatton QC described the 22-year-old's driving as "grotesque". Read more about this and other stories from across West Yorkshire "You drove in such a manner that you lost control of your vehicle and took away a life when you struck a cyclist causing him devastating injuries and instantaneous death," Judge Hatton said. Rashid admitted causing death by dangerous driving, driving without a full licence and without insurance and driving while under the influence of drugs. He also admitted supplying cannabis and possessing cannabis with intent to supply and an unrelated assault offence. Police, in an unmarked vehicle, had seen Rashid supplying a £10 cannabis deal to a group of students but he fled when they pursued him. His collision with Dr Platten took place soon afterwards. Dr Platten, who worked at Leeds Beckett University, had a "true passion" for cycling, his family said. "Most importantly he was a loved friend, loyal brother and uncle, loving partner and a truly inspirational father," they added. A letter from Rashid was read in court by his barrister in which he apologised to Dr Platten's family and said he hoped they could "find it in their hearts to forgive me". Rashid was told the usual sentence would have been 12 years but it was reduced to nine due to his guilty plea. He was given an additional six months for the drug offences and a further six months for the assault case and banned from driving for eight years. Artificial intelligence agents are already involved in every aspect of our lives - they keep our inboxes free of spam, they help us make our web transactions, they fly our planes and if Google gets its way will also soon drive our cars for us. "AI's are embedded in the fabric of our everyday lives," head of AI at Singularity University, Neil Jacobstein, told the BBC. "They are used in medicine, in law, in design and throughout automotive industry." And each day the algorithms that power away, making decisions behind the scenes, are getting smarter. It means that one of the biggest quests of the modern world - the search to make machines as intelligent as humans - could be getting tantalisingly close. Mr Jacobstein predicts that artificial intelligence will overtake human intelligence in the mid-2020s, begging the question - what will a society dominated by machine intelligence look like and what exactly will be our role in it? We may get to put our feet up more, for a start. Chinese company Hon Hai, the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer, has announced it intends to build a robot-making factory and replace 500,000 workers with robots over the next three years. But not having a job will also mean not having a wage, a radical change for a world used to working for a living. "AIs will cause significant unemployment but that doesn't equate with poverty," said Mr Jacobstein. "AIs and other exponential technologies are going to generate vast amounts of wealth. "We have to be willing to change the social contract we have with people about how wealth is distributed." He tends towards the optimistic view of machines and humans working in perfect harmony, side by side. "The best combination for problem solving is a human and a computer," he said. Author and documentary-maker James Barrat sits in a very different camp. He is so worried about the onslaught of artificial intelligence that he has written a book about it. Our Final Invention examines whether the increasing domination of artificial intelligence is going to mean the end of the human era. "Advanced AI is a dual-use technology, like nuclear fission. Fission can illuminate cities or incinerate them. At advanced levels, AI will be even more volatile and dangerous than fission, and it's already being weaponised in autonomous drones and battlefield robots," Barrat told the BBC. "More than any other science it forces us to probe ourselves - what are these things we call intelligence, conscience, emotion? But in looking inward we better see our own predilection for irrational violence and technological recklessness. Our innovation always runs far ahead of our stewardship," he said. The robot revolution may be some way off if a competition organised by the Pentagon's research unit Darpa in December is anything to go by. Videos posted online showed the robots remained much slower than humans, often unsteady on their feet with some failing to complete any of the challenges. Nonetheless there is a buzz around robots and artificial intelligence at the moment. Google has just bought eight robotic firms, while Facebook has its very own AI lab. Speculation is rife about what Google will do with its new acquisition. Google robots could be very powerful, thinks Mr Barrat. "That's one route to human level intelligence. A high quality personal assistant wouldn't be just a smartphone - it'd have a humanoid body. Why humanoid? So it can drive your car, use your tools, bounce the baby, act as your bodyguard if need be," he said. If the rise of the robots is inevitable - albeit a few years off - then it is also a logical step that humans will eventually be eliminated from the decision chain entirely, meaning AIs will be controlling other AIs. That was already happening in our laptops and computers, said Mr Jacobstein. "Anti-virus software is basically AI techniques that is being used to detect other AIs that we call viruses and worms," he said. But he acknowledges that controls to make sure that the phrase "robot failure" doesn't replace "human failure" would have to be built into future AI systems. "We would build the same layered control system we need in everyday life with humans. We want to look at the risks and build controls that stops that rogue behaviour," he said. While Mr Jacobstein remains sanguine about the robot takeover, he is well aware that many see it as the stuff of nightmares. "Some people ask, 'How do you sleep at night knowing the prospects for artificial intelligence?' but it isn't artificial intelligence that keeps me awake at night, it is human stupidity," he said. For him, the only way that humans will keep up with the robots is to become more like them. "Our brains haven't had a major upgrade for 50,000 years and if your laptop or smartphone hadn't had an upgrade in five years you might be concerned about that," he said. Already we have access to AI's such as Siri and Google Now and are pretty much constantly connected to the web via our smartphones, so it isn't so much of a step to imagine a future where silicon is embedded in our skulls. And it could be the only way for us to keep up with the robots. Ministers say they see no reason to change the law after a petition to the Welsh assembly. Petition organiser Monima O'Connor from Cardigan says invisible fences can protect pets from busy roads. The devices automatically shock animals through their collars if they wander too far from home. Electric shock collars have been illegal in Wales since 2010 and anyone using them can be fined £20,000 or jailed for up six months. The ban also applies to what are known as invisible or containment fences. They deliver a shock through the pet's collar if it crosses a boundary, such as a wire buried at the edge of a garden. A petition was handed in at the Senedd in January saying the law should be changed so pet owners can install the fences at home. However, in a letter to the assembly's petitions committee, a minister says the regulations were made because of the "physical and mental harm that could occur with the use of devices such as 'invisible' electric fences". Former Environment Minister John Griffiths, who has since been moved in a Cabinet reshuffle, wrote: "An electric shock is an electric shock whether caused by a remote or an underground circuit." He said regulations were reviewed periodically to make sure they are fit for purpose. "We will also review if there has been a change in the science of the use of these collars. "So far, no significant proposals or change has been seen to warrant an amendment or reversal of this legislation." Mrs O'Connor, 52, said she supports the ban on electric shock collars which are sold as training devices. But she said invisible fences were "harmless" and animals quickly learned to obey alarms which warn them they are about to be shocked. She started the petition when her two cats were killed on the road outside her home in Cardigan. Mrs O'Connor said there was a "huge difference" between invisible fences and the more powerful fences used on farms. "These things are absolutely harmless and they prevent pets from being run over," she said. She added she hoped that new Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies, who is responsible for animal welfare, would re-think the policy. AMs on the assembly's petitions committee are still looking at the petition which attracted more than 500 signatures. Last month the committee decided to seek the views of the Companion Animal Welfare Council which conducts studies and provides advice on animal welfare. The were 37 crimes recorded in Cromer over the weekend - including the rape of a teenager - with residents linking them to a group of travellers. Suffolk Constabulary said it warned Norfolk Police about the group ahead of its arrival on Friday. Norfolk confirmed it was made aware and said it was reviewing its response. Suffolk officers said they told their Norfolk colleagues about the group after it was issued with a local authority notice to leave Lowestoft on Friday afternoon. The notice had been served after a number of incidents of disturbance in the town. Norfolk confirmed it had been told but said there was "no intelligence to suggest where the group was heading". On Friday, a woman in her late teens was raped at a bus stop in Cadogan Road, near the seafront. Norfolk Police said there was evidence to suggest it could have been linked to the disorder in the town. One man was arrested and released under investigation in connection with the rape. No other arrests have been made. 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". Lee Sale, who runs an ice cream shop in the town, said travellers had frightened families with "intimidating behaviour". Ayrun Nessa, wife of the owner of the Masala Twist restaurant, said she had been confronted at the door by six women shouting abuse. Cromer's Safer Neighbourhood Team is hosting police surgeries to give people the chance to raise their concerns with officers. Up to 25 travellers' caravans arrived at the town's Runton Road cliff-top car park on Friday. They have since moved on. Arulchelvam Prasanna, 34, from Watford, was found with head injuries at a Costco store car park in the town last May and died 11 days later. Patrick O'Driscoll, 33, of Purkiss Road, Hertford, has been charged with murder and James O' Driscoll, 45 of Hamlet Hill, Roydon, with manslaughter. The pair were due to appear at Hatfield Remand Court earlier. They have also been charged with two counts of conspiracy to steal from another. Detectives believe the white Peugeot Partner van Mr Prasanna fell out of was being used in a crime. They said it appeared Mr Prasanna got into the van after stopping at the Costco in his own silver Ford Transit van to buy cigarettes for his shops. He later fell from the white van and was found unconscious by passers-by. A third man arrested in connection with the case - Michael McInerney, 32, of no fixed address - is being sought by police after failing to return on police bail. Three further men arrested as part of the investigation are due to answer bail on 18 May. North Wales Police said the teenager was in a vehicle at the Ship Inn in the village when officers were called just after midnight on Sunday. Officers said that the victim was local to the area. Four people have been arrested, and forensic investigations are ongoing. Police said the family of the young man had been told. The small village on the LlÅ·n Peninsula sits between Pwllheli and Abersoch, with a population of about 1,000 people, attracting many more visitors as a north Wales holiday destination in the summer months. "We heard the sirens just after 12 midnight," said Catrin Hughes, who lives a few doors away from the pub. "We thought is was an RTC because the roads here are so narrow. We didn't hear anything more after that. "You don't expect this kind of thing to happen. People are talking, but we don't expect this kind of thing in this part of the world. "It's usually a quiet pub - there are five to eight people drinking in the top bar, and everybody knows everybody - especially at this time of year." A police spokesman said: "Four men have been arrested and will be interviewed by detectives. "The man's family has been informed and are being supported by the police." A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out later, and the coroner for north west Wales has also been informed of the death. Dennis Hennessy, 41, of Wembley, north-west London, was charged on Thursday with trespass on a protected site and criminal damage. He was found by officers seven minutes after an alarm was activated on Wednesday evening, the Met Police said. He will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on Friday. The bioluminescent algae, commonly called sea sparkle, has delighted locals at Tasmania's Preservation Bay. The natural phenomenon occurs when the tiny organisms emit light as a defence mechanism, according to an expert. It is typically seen in calm waters. Although not toxic, the algae can cause skin irritations in some people. "The whole bay was iridescent blue," said Brett Chatwin, who photographed the spectacle near his home. "I was gobsmacked. It was just an amazing sight." Officially called Noctiluca scintillans, the species uses bioluminescence for protection, said aquatic botanist Prof Gustaaf Hallegraeff. "It acts a bit like a burglar alarm," he told the BBC. "Something wants to eat you, you flash at it and then you scare it away." Prof Hallegraeff, from the University of Tasmania, said it could also disrupt the food chain. "If you have a big bloom like that it behaves like a vacuum cleaner, it eats everything away," he said. Mr Chatwin said he had not seen the algae near his home before. "We've had virtually not a breath of wind for two weeks," he said. In 2012, Sydney's famous Bondi Beach was closed after the same algae species turned the sea a shade of red. Promoted to open, the 24-year-old made 126 off 147 balls, with two sixes off spinner Zafar Ansari and 18 fours. He shared a stand of 120 with Ben Raine (57), but the last five wickets went for 17 as they were all out for 292. Matt Dunn claimed 4-72 for Surrey and Kevin Pietersen made 35 not out as they ended the day well-placed on 105-2. Pietersen will be looking for a big innings on the second day to send a message to Andrew Strauss - England's newly appointed director of cricket - ahead of the summer Test series against New Zealand and Australia. He has only managed scores of 19, 53 not out, 32 and eight not out since starting the summer with a century against Oxford MCCU, but an unbroken stand of 54 with Sri Lanka international Kumar Sangakkara (also 35) put Surrey in a healthy position overnight. Surrey fast bowler Matt Dunn: "As a bowling unit we applied pressure throughout. They had a really good partnership in the middle, which set us back a bit. "Lewis Hill played really well, but I think we kept them to what we think is a below par score." Leicestershire opener Lewis Hill: "My heart rate was going quite fast in the nineties, but Ben Raine did a great job calming me down. "The idea was to be positive and pounce on anything loose. I was disappointed to get out when I did. I probably lost my concentration a little bit." Rob Stewart said they felt "betrayed" after being assured the upgrade from London would continue beyond Cardiff. Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said new hybrid trains would give the same benefits without any disruptive work. Wales' Economy Secretary Ken Skates said it remained an ambition to electrify south Wales valley lines. Swansea was promised electric trains from London in 2012, after a campaign to extend the upgrade promised to Cardiff in 2011. Thursday's announcement - made by Mr Grayling in a newspaper article - follows slippage of declared completion dates for the work. Mr Stewart said: "We are angry. We feel we've been betrayed by the UK government. "We've had meeting after meeting with ministers about the electrification of the line to Swansea and they told us it would happen. We were assured it would go ahead. "Our private sector partners have been side by side with us on this and I suspect they will be equally angry, frustrated and disappointed with this announcement." The council leader said he also feared for the future of Swansea's tidal lagoon project, awaiting government approval after being given the green light by advisers in January. Reacting for the Welsh Government, Mr Skates told BBC Radio Wales it amounted to "years of broken promises" and called for powers over rail infrastructure to be devolved. "It's an eye-watering, staggering fact, that in the current period, those who are responsible for rail infrastructure in Wales, the UK Government, have spent just 1.5% of the available funding on the line. "That's less than the Welsh Government has spent on rail infrastructure, and we're not responsible for it." Asked if the Swansea decision would hamper wider rail plans, he said: "We will be electrifying services in the valleys, there is no doubt about our ambition for that. "What we're also keen to do is to make sure that we're at the forefront of new innovation of rolling stock, which could include battery power electrification, overhead electrification lines as well." Plaid Cymru's transport spokesman, MP Jonathan Edwards, said it was a "disgraceful U-turn by the British Government breaking a clear promise to the people of Wales". Referring to the HS2 high speed rail project, he accused the UK government of "favouring large English cities over the Welsh economy, and Welsh taxpayers are being asked to pay for the privilege". Swansea East Labour MP Carolyn Harris raised the issue in the House of Commons, calling on Mr Grayling to come to Parliament and tell MPs why he had "misled" people on the issue of electrification to Swansea. Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns defended the decision, saying "faster, modern trains" would still cut the journey time between London and Swansea by 15 minutes. "Disruptive electrification works between Cardiff and Swansea will no longer be needed because the new fleet of trains will be doing the route in exactly the same amount of time as they would be on a fully-electrified route," he said. "This means west Wales remains open for business whilst we concentrate on growing the local economy through modern technology and better connectivity." Mick Whelan, general secretary of the rail union Aslef, said the UK Government's decision showed a "lack of ambition". He also questioned the effectiveness of the new trains. "Bi-mode trains are more expensive, less reliable and slower to accelerate than electric trains," he said. "Passengers on packed trains today will be on even more packed trains in 10 years' time." The 34-year-old played nearly 350 games for the Spanish side after signing from Porto in 2007, winning three La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues. He was named man of the match as Portugal beat hosts France in extra time in the Euro 2016 final. Pepe reportedly had a medical at Paris St-Germain before opting for Besiktas. No details were given on the length of the player's contract. Similar to the company's taxi service, the UberEats app allows customers to place their food order and track the progress of their delivery. Uber said meals could be ordered from more than 70 Glasgow restaurants, including Prep Fitness Kitchen, Bar Soba, Barburrito and Cubatas. The service, which started in Edinburgh last week, runs from 11:00 to 23:00. UberEats general manager Mathieu Proust said: "People in the city can now get the food they want when they want as conveniently as booking a car through Uber. "We hope Glaswegians take to the service as well as those in Edinburgh." Uber launched its taxi service in Glasgow in 2015. Tigers are in Pool One with Glasgow, Munster and Racing 92 - the side that knocked them out of the competition at the semi-final stage last season. "It's a tough one," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester. "Racing are the French champions, Munster we know well and Glasgow were champions two years ago." Elsewhere, defending champions Saracens will face three-time winners Toulon in Pool Three. Sale and Scarlets complete that group, while Exeter meet Ulster, Bordeaux and Clermont Auvergne in Pool Five. Pro 12 winners Connacht are in Pool Two alongside Wasps, Toulouse and Zebre, while Leinster are in Pool Four with Castres, Northampton and last season's Challenge Cup winners, Montpellier. "You look down all the draws and this is a pretty tough draw all-round really. The quality is as strong as ever," Cockerill said. "With Racing, we know their quality. Glasgow have been good for the last three years and Munster will recruit well and be strong. "They're all very tough. Both home and away games will be very tough." With their trademark white headscarves, the Mothers march every Thursday afternoon demanding information about the estimated 30,000 people who were kidnapped, tortured and killed during the country's military dictatorship. But now the Mothers are embroiled in a financial scandal that threatens to also damage the reputation of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, less than five months before the presidential election. Under investigation is the relationship between the Mothers' controversial leader, Hebe de Bonafini, and her former adviser and right-hand-man, Sergio Schoklender. Mr Schoklender and his brother came to national attention in 1981, when, in their early 20s, they murdered their parents and were jailed for several years. The union between the Mothers and Mr Schoklender raised few questions in the past, simply because of the respect and awe in which the human rights group is generally held. But the issue has now erupted into a full-scale scandal. As well as its campaigning work, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo builds houses for under-privileged people in a multi-million dollar, government-funded project called Shared Dreams. Sergio Schoklender and his younger brother, Pablo, administered that scheme until Sergio was asked to leave last month in a cloud of controversy over missing funds, unpaid bills and his luxury lifestyle. The investigations then revealed that Sergio was the major shareholder in Meldorek, the construction company used by the Mothers. President Fernandez was reported to be livid when the scandal emerged. Although she has not yet confirmed her candidacy, she is widely expected to stand for re-election in the presidential ballot due in October. She is the favourite to win and a large part of her popularity is as a result of her campaign for human rights and her close association with the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. The polarised Argentine media, either staunchly pro-Ms Fernandez or vehemently against her, has embraced the case enthusiastically. Each day there are more details of further alleged improprieties in the building project or more information distancing the president from the scandal. Opposition politicians have accused the housing foundation of over-pricing its work and are asking searching questions about what happened to millions in public funds. Workers say their pension and social security contributions have not been paid. The Argentine Central Bank is investigating the signing of cheques worth millions of pesos which never had the funds to cover them. And the media are questioning Sergio Schoklender's use of a luxury yacht and private planes. He denies any wrongdoing and says he can justify his earnings and his lifestyle. Mr Schoklender says he earns royalties from electrical engineering inventions. Extensive media investigations have found no record of anything he has ever registered. The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo was founded when the military controlled Argentina between 1976 and 1983. They protested quietly, marching in a circle in the Plaza de Mayo, outside the government palace in Buenos Aires. They held aloft pictures of their children who had been detained by the authorities, most of them never to be seen again. They march still. But the Mothers are much older now and the organisation has split into two groups, each with its own, different political objectives. Hebe de Bonafini, who lost two sons and a daughter-in-law during military rule, is the head of the largest group. Her branch of the Mothers has a newspaper, a radio station and a university. Their headquarters, near the Argentine Congress, also houses a restaurant and a bookshop. When the late Nestor Kirchner became president in 2003, he championed human rights and established a close relationship with Mrs Bonafini. His wife, who succeeded him in 2007, continued that alliance. Sergio and Pablo Schoklender tortured and killed their wealthy parents in 1981. During a lengthy and much-publicised trial, they said they were responding to years of parental abuse but were nonetheless sentenced to life in prison. Sergio was released, under strict conditions in 1995. Pablo spent eight years on the run in Bolivia, before being jailed. He joined his brother on his release in 2006. He established a close relationship with Hebe de Bonafini, who called him her "adopted son" and employed him to help administer the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo finances. The scandal has also inevitably brought Hebe de Bonafini's own controversial past back into the limelight. For some, she is untouchable, a national institution worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. For others she is an embarrassment. In 2001, she spoke in support of the al-Qaeda attack on the Twin Towers in New York, saying: "I felt there were many people at that moment who were happy and felt the blood of so many in that moment were avenged." A few years later she said that Pope John Paul II had committed many sins and "was going to hell". Argentina is waiting for President Fernandez to announce whether she will run in October's election. Her announcement might now be delayed to allow time for this scandal to blow over and to give her the opportunity to distance herself from an organisation, and its leader, that previously served her very well. Elizabeth Edwards, 49, and Katie, 13, died at their home in Spalding, Lincolnshire, in April. The Attorney General will look at the sentences given to the 15 year olds. The case was referred under the unduly lenient sentence scheme and law officers have 28 days to decide if any action should be taken. During the trial at Nottingham Crown Court earlier this month, the jury heard the boy and girl - who were both 14 at the time - had sex, shared a bath and watched four vampire films as they "revelled" after the stabbing of the dinner lady and her daughter on 13 April. More on this story and others on BBC Local Live: Lincolnshire The judge, Mr Justice Haddon-Cave, said the case had "defining and particularly chilling" features, and condemned the killers' conduct as "grotesque". He said: "The killings were brutal in the form of executions and both victims, particularly Elizabeth Edwards, must have suffered terribly in the last minutes of their lives. "Had you been adults you may have been facing the whole of your lives in prison for this double murder." The court was told the boy, who admitted murder, used a kitchen knife to stab both victims in the neck. His girlfriend, who helped to plan the killings, denied murder, claiming to be suffering mental dysfunctions but was found guilty after a five-day trial. A statement from the Attorney General's office said: "We are unable to provide the details of who referred the case. "The threshold to refer cases to the Court of Appeal is very high. "A sentence can only be regarded as unduly lenient if there has been a gross error and it is significantly below the level that any judge could have reasonably imposed after considering the facts of the case." Hundreds of people from Derbyshire helped to guide the lights along the river for a project called Derwent Pulse in October. Photographs taken along the route can be seen at the free exhibition at Bakewell Old Market Hall. The Derwent runs through the Peak District, Chatsworth Park and Derby. The project, which was commissioned by Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, was designed to recognise the river's importance during the Industrial Revolution. Charles Monkhouse, who previously lit up the nearby Cromford Canal in a project for the Cultural Olympiad, was behind the artwork, which saw up to 1,000 pulsating lights cascade down the river navigated by GPS. Don Symonds, from Bakewell Visitor Centre, said the images show the Peak District "from a completely different angle". The exhibition runs until 12 May. Tries from Julien Rey, Berend Botha and Sofiane Guitoune gave Bordeaux a commanding 25-10 half-time lead. But Eli Walker, Alun Wyn Jones and Dan Biggar added to Justin Tipuric's first-half score to make it 30-27. Yann Lesgourgues's try had given Bordeaux a bonus point and Baptiste Serin's penalty made sure of victory. Ospreys remain top of Pool Two, two points ahead of second-placed Exeter, who visit Clermont Auvergne on Sunday. The Welsh region were forced into a late change before kick-off in Bordeaux, with fly-half Sam Davies brought in at outside centre to replace the injured Josh Matavesi. It was a chastening start for the makeshift midfield partnership of Davies and Ben John, as an incisive Bordeaux move allowed centre Rey to bundle his way over. Ospreys responded swiftly, as Dan Evans and Jeff Hassler combined for Wales flanker Tipuric to run clear for a fine score. The visitors were given another lift when home hooker Clement Maynadier was yellow-carded for a deliberate knock-on, but it was Bordeaux who scored during his 10 minutes in the sin-bin. Second row Botha brushed off Scott Baldwin's tackle to touch down in the corner and a second Pierre Bernard penalty put Bordeaux 18-7 ahead. Wing Guitoune then seized on a loose Davies pass to run the length of the field and cross for the hosts' third try. That left Ospreys trailing 25-10 at the interval but, 10 minutes after the restart, Walker's simple finish in the corner gave them hope. A yellow card for Serin boosted the visitors' chances further, but again Ospreys were stung by a counter-attack. Home wing Metuisela Talebulamaijaina broke out of his own 22, kicked ahead and, with Evans unable to gather on the Ospreys' try line, Lesgourgues was on hand to touch down. Ospreys were determined to salvage something from the game and captain Jones set up a tense finale as he crashed over for his side's third try. Biggar then intercepted a pass near his own 22 and scampered clear to score Ospreys' bonus point-securing fourth try and cut Bordeaux's lead to 30-27. But with the final kick of the game, Serin struck a penalty to seal Bordeaux's first European win of the season. Ospreys backs coach Gruff Rees told BBC Radio Wales: "We're disappointed. Bordeaux are a powerful outfit but I don't think they worked for their scores. "A couple of them came from our inaccuracies when we've been trying to create some pressure of our own. "We are too loose and we don't create sustained pressure. For all the good in our game, and there are positives, we feel we've allowed their big runners to get momentum and conceded cheap tries."

Archaeologists found the man's skeleton buried in a recess of a cave in the Black Isle, Ross-shire. Forensic anthropologist Dame Sue Black and her team at the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID) have now detailed the man's injuries. He was found in a cross-legged position with stones holding down his limbs. Prof Black said the "fascinating" skeleton was in a remarkable state of preservation. She said: "From studying his remains, we learned a little about his short life but much more about his violent death. "As you can see from the facial reconstruction, he was a striking young man, but he met a very brutal end, suffering a minimum of five severe injuries to his head." The CAHID team includes Dr Christopher Rynn and PhD students Micol Zuppello, Viviane Lira and Samantha Goodchild. Prof Black said the first three impacts broke the man's teeth, and fractured his left jaw and the back of his head. She said: "The fourth impact was intended to end his life as probably the same weapon was driven through his skull from one side and out the other as he lay on the ground." The fifth blow was to the top of the man's skull. Archaeologists from the Rosemarkie Caves Project made the discovery while digging to determine if the cave might have been occupied. Excavation leader Steven Birch said: "Here we have a man who has been brutally killed, but who has been laid to rest in the cave with some consideration - placed on his back, within a dark alcove, and weighed down by beach stones. "While we don't know why the man was killed, the placement of his remains gives us insight into the culture of those who buried him. "Perhaps his murder was the result of interpersonal conflict, or was there a sacrificial element relating to his death?" The Rosemarkie Caves Project has been locating and surveying the series of caves along the coast of the Black Isle. Excavations provided evidence that the caves were being occupied or used in some way from 1,500-2,000 years ago until the recent past. The project's founder Simon Gunn said: "When I first started looking into these caves, I never dreamt we would find anything like this - it was so unexpected. "I remember all the excitement when the remains of Richard III were found under a car park. "Rosemarkie Man died 900 years before that, so you cannot imagine our reaction when we first uncovered these human remains and then learned about his brutal death". UKIP reported donations of £1.4m from April to June this year - £170,000 more than reported by the Lib Dems. A UKIP spokesman said it was "a sign that electorally and financially we are now superseding the Liberal Democrats". The Conservatives reported £7.2m of donations for the second quarter of the year, while Labour reported £3.8m. The period coincided with May's European elections, in which UKIP got the biggest share of the UK vote, and the party led by Nigel Farage is now aiming to get its first MPs elected at next year's general election. More than a million pounds declared by UKIP came from a single donor, the Yorkshire businessman Paul Sykes. The Lib Dems said it demonstrated that UKIP was a one-man party - "one man politically and one man financially". The Lib Dems said their £1.2m in donations came from more individual donors than ever before. Analysis, by Arif Ansari UKIP say these figures show they are superseding the Liberal Democrats electorally and financially as the third party of British politics. The level of donations is certainly significant. It is the first time UKIP have overtaken the Lib Dems. But there are important caveats. The vast bulk of the cash, just over £1m, came from one donor, the businessman Paul Sykes. He was particularly keen to support the party's campaign for the European elections, and indeed played a role designing the party's posters. The Lib Dems say that £241,000 of UKIP's donations should have been declared in the previous quarter and, taking that into account, they have not been overtaken. Certainly these accounts show UKIP attracting more money, rather than the Lib Dems attracting less. And the race for cash will intensify for all the parties as they attempt to fuel their general election campaigns. The biggest donation reported during the quarter from an individual for Labour was £629,000 from property magnate Sir David Garrard. It also got £683,000 from the trade union Unison. The Tories said Labour had now received a total of £34m from trade unions since Ed Miliband became leader in 2010. Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said: "We all know what payback they want from weak Ed Miliband: more wasteful spending, more taxes, and more debt than our children could ever hope to repay." Labour said the figures showed another £2m had been donated to the Conservatives from donors who attended private dinners with David Cameron and other senior ministers, taking the total to £5m this year. Shadow cabinet office minister Jonathan Ashworth MP said: "When millions are flowing in from hedge funds and exclusive groups of donors, is it any wonder David Cameron stands up for the privileged few?" The FCA investigation centres on public statements that Quindell made about its accounts in 2013 and 2014. Trading in the company's shares was temporarily suspended on the Alternative Investment Market. Quindell has admitted that some of its accounting polices were "aggressive". The group has been conducting its own review, advised by accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). The review concluded that accounting policies relating to revenue and acquisition costs in some of its businesses - since disposed of - were "at the aggressive end of acceptable practice". PwC also found that some other policies were "not appropriate", the company said. Investors saw more than 80% wiped off the value of their shares in a disastrous 2014, as rumours of the accounting irregularities emerged. A more conservative way of accounting for revenues and case acquisition costs would "materially impact previously reported results for the year ended 31 December 2013 and the six months ended 30 June 2014", the company said in a statement. Quindell, which has a market capitalisation of £555m and revenues approaching £400m, has been restructuring following the recent sale of its professional services division to compensation claims firm Slater & Gordon for more than £600m. Responding to the news, a Slater & Gordon spokeswoman told the BBC: "We have always been of the view that the accounting policies of Quindell plc were aggressive. "Our assessment of the professional services division [PSD] was not based on their historical financial statements, but on a detailed bottom-up assessment of the key drivers of the business applying our own accounting policies. "Quindell's historic accounting policies were irrelevant to our valuation of the PSD. We made this clear when we announced the acquisition and in all subsequent statements." Quindell has a new management team in place, but is still searching for a new chief executive. It is refocusing its business on insurance technology services, which include the in-car telematics equipment that measures people's driving habits. However, these will be just some of the sights at non-league grounds on Saturday as tens of thousands of fans enjoy Non-League Day. Now in its sixth year, and backed by the Football Association, Premier League and charity partners Prostate Cancer UK, the event is going from strength to strength. BBC Sport takes a closer look at Non-League Day and life outside the top four divisions. Set up in 2010 by former BBC Sport journalist James Doe, Non-League Day gives fans of Premier League and Championship sides the chance to watch football at a level they may not be familiar with. It coincides with the international break so people can see what is happening at a club that might be on their doorstep without missing their favourite team play. He was inspired after seeing the financial struggles of a club close to his heart. "I made a trip to Harrow Borough, the club I followed as a teenager, and they were raising funds for new floodlight bulbs," said Doe. "I was struck by this, thinking such a cost would be covered as a matter of routine. "Noticing an international break was coming up early in the new season, I formulated the idea of trying to drive all those extra people that would be without football to check out their local non-league side instead, and generate some extra funds. "I speculatively launched the idea among friends on Facebook to see what would happen, and the rest is history." Clapton Ultras offer solidarity Supporters of Essex Senior League club Clapton FC are paying for "solidarity tickets" which are being offered to the unemployed, people on benefits, refugees and asylum seekers for their local derby against Ilford FC. "We want to target people who might not think football is for them," said Paul Cockerton, who started following the Tons after moving to east London from Manchester. "There is an appetite here that we want new people who might not be able to afford a ticket. We don't want to exclude anyone." The self-styled Clapton Ultras were formed three years ago by a group of friends who were disillusioned with the sterile atmosphere at all-seater stadiums. The anti-fascist group, who have been inspired by passionate supporters of clubs in Europe, has since grown to include several Poles and Italians. However, Cockerton says the Ultras' community-focused stance is not limited to Saturday afternoons. "We are a dedicated fan base trying to support the club in a noisy way, but during the week we want to make links with the local community on causes we identify with, such as housing issues, food-bank collections and clean-up days," he said. "We want the community to be involved and from the moment you want to become a Clapton Ultra, you can embrace the spirit of it." The club is also offering free entry to senior citizens and under 18s. The beers are on Dover Athletic Dover Athletic are offering free pints to home and neutral supporters for an hour before their National League game against Wrexham kicks off. The first 30 fans to arrive at the bar will also receive free burgers. Going the 'eggs-tra' mile Suffolk side Walsham Le Willows will give away half a dozen eggs to the first 50 paying supporters at their match against Brantham Athletic. In 2014, Bungay Town gave out punnets of mushrooms in a similar ploy to tempt fans. Getting the kids involved Wigging it for charity Vanarama, sponsors of the National League, are encouraging clubs, football personalities and fans to #WearTheWig and raise awareness of Non-League Day while raising money for charity. For every picture or selfie wearing a wig posted on their Twitter page using the hashtag #WearTheWig, the company will donate £10 to Prostate Cancer UK. While Saturday is a chance to have some fun, promote grassroots football and raise money for a good cause, non-league football can be a tough business. Claridge helps Salisbury FC rebuild Salisbury's fans had to go a season without football, but some may argue it has been worth it. After years of mismanagement they have a new 'phoenix' club, new owners, new team, and under manager Steve Claridge they have stormed to the top of Wessex League Premier Division. As well as building a team from scratch, ex-Leicester striker Claridge is also one of five investors who helped bring football back to the cathedral city. "This was the right time," said BBC pundit Claridge. "I needed to be back in football and an environment I love, around the people I love." Claridge sees the National League South as a realistic target for the club and then with further investment, who knows? However, his immediate focus is continuing to build the team and club in a sensible manner. "Two months ago we didn't have a player," he said. "If you'd have asked anyone connected to Salisbury then they would have settled for this. Not in their wildest dreams would they have expected it." The (very) long road home Sheffield FC are the oldest football club in the world having been in existence since 1857. The eighth-tier side have had a bumpy ride since those early days and have now spent a staggering 150 years without a home ground of their own. The club have played in Dronfield, North Derbyshire for the last 15 years but are hoping to raise funds to return back to their roots. They are hoping to raise £2m to build a new facility at Olive Grove, the place the club started. The campaign has already been backed by Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, who have a partnership with the Sheffield club. The non-leaguers travelled to Germany to take on a Dortmund XI in pre-season, going down 6-0. Stafford Rangers on the way back? Stafford Rangers were once the golden boys of non-league football. They were FA Trophy winners in 1974 and 1979. Since then, Stan Collymore has played for them and Steve Bull has managed them, but times have proved hard at Marston Road. Three relegations in six seasons left them floundering in the Evo-Stik Division One South. But, under the management of Neil Kitching, Rangers have won nine out of 10 games this season and already stand eight points clear at the top of the table. With 28 points and 28 goals scored, it is their best start to a campaign in 37 years. "We actually set ourselves the target of being unbeaten in our first 10," Kitching told BBC Sport. "We came in to steady the ship and rebuild after three relegations in six seasons and so far it's gone OK. "It's a balancing act. All of our lads are in full-time jobs. We've got everyone from office workers to bricklayers but the spirit is great." Visit www.nonleagueday.co.uk for more information about Non-League Day or to find a match near to you.

The contract is for advertising and design work for a period of two to four years. It should have been awarded earlier this year, but the legal action stalled the selection process. The settlement of AV Browne's challenge was confirmed at Belfast High Court on Tuesday. On Monday the court was told AV Browne's problem arose with the Department of Finance-run procurement website on 14 October 2015. The agency's lawyer said just before the deadline, the portal froze. It resulted in AV Browne's tender not being accepted. No reasons were disclosed for the settlement and no order for costs was made between the parties. Sheryll Murray says she was branded a witch on social media, and somebody urinated on her office door during the recent general election campaign. Swastikas were also carved into a promotional poster in her home constituency of South East Cornwall. She says the police are investigating the attacks. Raising the issue during Prime Minister's Questions, she told Theresa May: "Over the past month I've had swastikas carved into posters, social media posts like 'burn the witch'". She asked Mrs May: "Can you suggest what can be done to stop this intimidation, which may well be putting off good people from serving in this place?" The prime minister replied: "I believe this sort of behaviour has no place in our democracy. "As I stand here and see the plaque that has been dedicated to the late Jo Cox, we should all remember what Jo said - we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than the things which divide us." Mrs Murray also said people had put photographs online of Labour leaflets outside her home, leaving her concerned that people can find where she lives. In a later interview, Mrs Murray said: "There are very strict rules around press reporting within an election period. "Maybe we should look at social media being the same." Pope Francis has said that dealing with abuse is vital for the Church's credibility, and that "sanctions" must be imposed against perpetrators. But the Church has been accused of failing to address some allegations properly. The sexual abuse of children was rarely discussed in public before the 1970s, and it was not until the 1980s that the first cases of molestation by priests came to light, in the US and Canada. In the 1990s, revelations began of widespread abuse in Ireland. In the new century, more cases of abuse were revealed in more than a dozen countries. Two major reports into Irish allegations of paedophilia in 2009 revealed the shocking extent of abuse, cover-ups and hierarchical failings involving thousands of victims, and stretching back decades. In one, four Dublin archbishops were found to have in effect turned a blind eye to cases of abuse from 1975 to 2004. A fresh scandal erupted in March 2010 when it emerged the head of the Irish Catholic Church, Cardinal Sean Brady, was present at meetings in 1975 where children signed vows of silence over complaints against a paedophile priest, Fr Brendan Smyth. This prompted Pope Benedict XVI to apologise to Irish victims. In the US, the Boston Archdiocese has been worst hit, with the activities of two of its priests, Paul Shanley and John Geoghan, causing public outrage. Cardinal Bernard Law resigned over the scandal in 2002. In Mexico, the founder of the Legion of Christ order, Marcial Maciel, long admired by Pope John Paul II, was disciplined by the Vatican in 2006 over the abuse of boys and young men over a period of 30 years. The Legion insisted his was an isolated case, but seven more priests of the order have been investigated. The bishop of the Belgian city of Bruges, Roger Vangheluwe, resigned in 2010 after admitting that he had sexually abused a boy for years. Since his election last year, Pope Francis has appeared to offer new hope to victims, with a call for action on sex abuse in the Church. Under his papacy, a Vatican committee has been set up to fight sexual abuse and help victims. In a report by Vatican Radio, the Pope asked for forgiveness for the "evil" damage to children caused by sexual abusers in the clergy and said "sanctions" would be imposed. Vatican officials submitted publicly to questioning for the first time in January 2013, before a UN panel in Geneva, but refused to supply data on abuse cases. Pope Francis's predecessor, Benedict XVI, was accused of suppressing the investigation of paedophile priests, a charge he denied last year. When the first scandals emerged in 2001, the Vatican issued guidelines for senior clergy on how to handle paedophile priests, which stated that all cases should be referred to Rome. Until then, all cases had been handled by the Church in the country concerned. After a spate of new cases in 2010, the Vatican issued new rules saying bishops should report suspected cases of abuse to local police, if required to do so by law. The UN's Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) said the Vatican should "immediately remove" all clergy who are known or suspected child abusers. In a strongly worded report, it lambasted the Holy See's "practice of offenders' mobility", referring to the transfer of child abusers from parish to parish within countries, and sometimes abroad. It complained that the Holy See had not acknowledged the extent of crimes committed and had not taken the measures necessary to address cases of child sexual abuse and to protect children. Victims' groups have responded to almost every move by the Vatican with scepticism. Reacting to the UN report in February, Barbara Blaine, the president of Snap (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), said it was clear that the Vatican had put the reputation of Church officials above protection of children. "Despite all the rhetoric from Pope Francis and Vatican officials, they refuse to take action that will make this stop." she said. The body of the man, believed to be in his 20s, was discovered by people walking in Rahin Woods, near Carbury, at about 20:45 local time on Friday. It was partially buried and covered by undergrowth near two trails through the woods. Police said they believed the man died violently. It is believed that the man's body was in the woods for less than a month. One line of inquiry is that the man had a falling out with gangland criminals over money. Andrew Neal came closest to breaking the deadlock when his first-half effort was deflected over the bar. He also had a goal disallowed after Niall Thompson failed to keep the ball in play in the build-up. The result lifted Truro up one place to 16th in the table, five points above the relegation zone. Tate Modern in London and The National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art in Newmarket, Suffolk, are both nominated for the £100,000 award. They are joined in the contest by the Hepworth Wakefield gallery and the Lapworth Museum of Geology, Birmingham. Sir John Soane's Museum in London completes the five-strong shortlist. This museum, operated by the University of Birmingham, re-opened last June after a £2.7m redevelopment that was designed restore it to its 1920s grandeur and create three new galleries. It holds 250,000 specimens, ranging from dinosaur skeletons to volcanic rocks. Officially opened by the Queen in November, this complex is home to the National Horseracing Museum, the Fred Packard Museum and Galleries of British Sporting Art, and a yard for the Retraining of Racehorses charity. It is also home to two of the Queen's former racehorses and a virtual Clare Balding. Housed in the former home of 19th Century architect Sir John Soane, this gallery and museum has completed a £7m restoration intended to open up "lost" areas and return it to how it looked when he died and left it to the nation in 1837. That includes creating 33 per cent more space and putting 10 per cent more objects on display. Seventeen years after it opened on London's South Bank, Tate Modern had a record 5.8 million visitors in 2016. That was partly down to the opening of a 10-storey extension, the Switch House, and exhibitions of photographs owned by Sir Elton John and artwork by Georgia O'Keeffe. The West Yorkshire gallery celebrated its fifth birthday last year and saw a 21% rise in visitors. It also launched a major new award for British sculpture and staged exhibitions by Martin Parr, Stanley Spencer and Anthea Hamilton. The winner of the Art Fund Museum of the Year will be announced on 5 July. Art Fund director Stephen Deuchar said: "Each of these museums has had a remarkable year, reaching - in a range of ways - new heights in their efforts to serve and inspire their visitors. "Whether unveiling new buildings, galleries, displays or public programmes, all the finalists have shown a real commitment to innovation and experimentation, offering fresh perspectives and new ways of seeing and understanding their collections." Last year's prize was won by the Victoria and Albert in London. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

She sued Lukasz Gottwald last month claiming he emotionally and sexually abused her over a decade. His team say the allegation should be thrown out as it could not have taken place within the past two years. The producer's case says that in a statement to the court in 2011 (which had remained confidential until a judge revealed it last month) Kesha denied that Gottwald made any sexual advances. Kesha's attorney Mark Geragos has said that Gottwald threatened his client saying he would harm her if she ever discussed the alleged rape. Gottwald's lawyers also say a claim of "gender violence" has been made too late. They may also try to get allegations including sexual harassment dismissed but that will wait until a later date. "Dr Luke is hiding behind a legally flawed motion which we expect won't work," Geragos wrote in an email. Kesha and Gottwald have competing lawsuits filed in Los Angeles and New York, respectively. Dr Luke has worked with lots of major acts including Rihanna and Katy Perry. He denies all the charges and attorneys say the case is an attempt by the singer to gain a more favourable contract. The lawsuit states the abuse Kesha claims she suffered lead her to develop a severe eating disorder that required her to enter rehab earlier this year. She is asking a judge to release her from contracts she signed with Gottwald. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube

Media playback is not supported on this device A hat-trick of tries for Jonathan Joseph, and one apiece for replacements Anthony Watson and Billy Vunipola and two for Danny Care put the visitors to the sword at Twickenham as Owen Farrell kicked 26 points. It was England's highest score in this oldest of international fixtures and equalled their biggest winning margin against Scotland as the Calcutta Cup was retained with style and swagger. It means England face Ireland in Dublin next weekend with both consecutive Grand Slams and a world record of 19 Test wins in their sights. It was a chastening afternoon for Scotland despite them scoring three converted tries, their hopes of a first Triple Crown since 1990 wrecked by a dismal first-half performance. They lost both Stuart Hogg and his replacement Mark Bennett early and were forced to play the majority of the contest with scrum-half Ali Price on the wing, their winless run at Twickenham now stretching past 34 years. There has been much debate about England's form this Six Nations despite their long unbeaten run. But in front of a celebrating capacity crowd they cut loose, running in three tries as they scored 30 points in a one-sided first half. Four more tries and thirty-one more points followed in the second period as they established an unassailable lead atop the Six Nations table. Never before have England scored more than 44 points against the Scots, and only once before won by the 40-point margin. Two tries from Huw Jones were scant consolation for Scotland coach Vern Cotter, his team only offering any sort of threat when the match was gone. After struggling to start well so often under Eddie Jones, England had come storming out of the blocks to bring Twickenham exploding to life. With Fraser Brown in the sin-bin for lifting Elliot Daly above the horizontal in the tackle, England attacked at pace and with the Scottish defence stretched, Joseph ghosted between his opposite centres for the first try. After 10 minutes England had 92% possession, Farrell landing two penalties to add to the conversion, and it only got worse for the visitors. With star full-back Hogg off with a head injury, his replacement Bennett was carried off with a hamstring injury, forcing Price to switch to the wing. And with Joseph dancing past four static defenders on 24 minutes from George Ford's lovely delayed pass, they were 20 points down with just 25 minutes gone. Prop Gordon Reid burrowed over from close in after Scotland kicked a penalty to the corner, but another blistering England attack off quick line-out ball let Farrell free Joseph, Watson appearing on his outside shoulder to dash in unopposed. Media playback is not supported on this device Joseph ran on to Ben Youngs' short pass to complete his treble and make it 35-7 just after half-time, and while Huw Jones squeezed through Joseph and Jack Nowell for a second Scottish try, Eddie Jones then threw on his bench as England went hunting for more. Vunipola, on as a replacement after returning from injury, battered over from a driving maul and the stage seemed set for white-shirted carnage. But Scotland refused to roll over and as the game became increasingly unstructured, visiting centre Jones side-stepped his way into the left-hand corner. However, replacement England scrum-half Care nipped over with nine minutes remaining, and relentless English pressure and possession with time up saw him cap the romp with a celebratory dive over the line. Cyprus won 24 matches in a row between 2008 and 2014 but they are not a tier one nation (the premier sides in the game). England's best run before Eddie Jones took over was a streak of 14 consecutive wins between 2002 and 2003 - which ended just before their World Cup-winning campaign. Scotland captain John Barclay: "We just didn't show up. We got off to a bad start and continued, our discipline was very poor and we gave away soft tries. "You don't win however many games in a row without being a good side so good luck to England. We are trying to move away from the tag of plucky losers but that wasn't even that. We were useless." England hat-trick scorer Jonathan Joseph: "Coming back into the team, scoring a hat-trick and winning the Six Nations means it has been a great day. "We focused on starting each session very well and you could see we did that today. The set piece was unbelievable and what we did on the back of that was very good." Former England scrum-half Matt Dawson: "If England are going to play like that next week, I don't know how Ireland are going to win that game. "Eddie Jones has created so much pressure on this side over the past few weeks and this has been their response, a 40-point whipping of Scotland." Ex-Scotland captain Gavin Hastings: "My goodness me, England were imperious. They will be very pleased with that, but it was an armchair ride they had for most of the afternoon. "Scotland and their supporters will be bitterly disappointed, they just did not turn up. England were thoroughly deserving of the manner of their victory."

On Thursday, a court agreed to release her on $193,000 (£129,000) bail. Ms Refaeli, who denies committing any offence, must also seek the permission of the authorities if she wishes to leave Israel and pay a $64,000 bond. The 30-year-old has hosted Israeli X Factor and modelled for brands including Gap, Desigual and Escada. She married the Israeli billionaire, Adi Ezra, in September. She had previously dated Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Ms Refaeli spent several hours being questioned at the Tel Aviv offices of the Israel Tax Authority on Wednesday, according to Israeli media reports. On Thursday, an official gag order was lifted and the tax authority confirmed that she and her mother, Tzipi, were being investigated. It alleged the supermodel tried to hide the fact that she was a resident of Israel by living in apartments in Tel Aviv registered in her mother and brother's names. Israelis who are not residents are exempted from declaring income earned abroad. The tax authority also accused Bar Refaeli of failing to report discounts on luxury goods and other benefits that should have been subject to income tax. These included free use of Range Rover and Lexus cars not registered in her name that were provided by companies in exchange for publicity photographs, it said. Ms Refaeli's lawyer rejected the allegations. "There is no drama. In the end, this is just a civil dispute. No-one cheated anyone else. It will all clear up soon," Giora Aderet told the NRG news website. Antonio Bagnato is believed by Thai police to have killed former Hells Angels member Wayne Schneider. A US man has also been arrested in Thailand in connection to the biker's death. Wayne Schneider was one of New South Wales' 10-most-wanted fugitives in 2006. The 37-year-old was abducted from his home by five masked men in the Thai beachside town of Pattaya early on Monday, Thai authorities said. His body was later found in a 2m (6ft) deep grave in the jungle. Cambodian and Thai officials say that Mr Bagnato, who is also Australian, has been caught in Phnom Penh. The 27-year-old is said by Thai media to have had ties with Wayne Schneider back in Sydney. The Bangkok Post said they had owned a fitness business together, and Mr Bagnato was also involved in a bike gang. A 21-year-old man from the US has also been arrested. He has been charged with kidnap and murder, AFP news agency said. Thai authorities are still looking for other suspects. The case has drawn attention in Australia where Wayne Schneider had a long criminal history. He was on New South Wales' most wanted list for shooting a bouncer in the kneecap outside a Sydney nightclub, though the charges were later dropped, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. He also faced drug offence charges and was said to be a senior member of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang. The annual BBC Price of Football study, the largest of its type in Europe, looked at costs at 227 clubs in 13 leagues across the UK and Europe. Swansea City declined to take part in this study, but Cardiff City, Newport County and Wrexham are included. For the first time the Welsh Premier League is also included in the figures. Click here to play with the Price of Football calculator and see what your support is costing you. More than 700 tickets were analysed, with 70.15% seeing a price freeze or reduction for the 2015-16 season. Some 51.91% were held, while 18.24% of tickets were reduced. Just under 30% of tickets surveyed were more expensive this season. In the Championship, Cardiff City's cheapest season ticket has risen from £329 to £345, but the most expensive has reduced from £689 to £539, while the premium match-day ticket is down from £40 to £32. The cheapest entry for one-off matches at Cardiff City Stadium remains £18, although adult shirts are up 15.5% to £45. Pies remain £3.40 and tea is up 10p to £1.90. Reading have the cheapest season ticket in the division at £135, while you can pay as much as £839 at Fulham. You can pick up a match-day ticket for as little as £10 at Reading and Derby, while if you want to splash out you can pay up to £52 at Sheffield Wednesday. Birmingham City have the most expensive tea, not just in the Championship but in the whole study, at £2.90 - although their pies are just £2.20. The upper crust award is held by Brighton at £4.10 per pie. Newport County's prices have shown minimal rises except for your half-time beverage, which jumps 50% to £1.50. The cheapest category tickets remain unchanged at £17 for matches and £250 for the season, although top prices and shirts have risen slightly to £410 and £37.50 respectively. The Exiles' prices compare favourably with their League Two rivals, with match tickets ranging from £15-28 and season passes from £180-£540, while a Barnet fan will pay £49.90 for his shirt. National League side Wrexham are one of the minority of clubs whose season tickets have risen this season, with the options jumping from £229-259 to £241-359. Eastleigh are the cheapest in the division at £120-180, while you would pay up to £414 as a Cheltenham fan. But match-day tickets at the Racecourse Ground remain at £15-19, adult shirts at £39.99, and pies and tea at £2.60 and £1.80. The Welsh Premier League is included in the study for the first time this season and it is clear that Airbus UK Broughton fans get quite a deal with season tickets at £36-£54. The most expensive in the division is the £111 at Bangor City, while match-day tickets across the 12 clubs in the division are £6-£8. Tea is a reasonable 80p-£1, pies can be had for £1.50-2.50, while an adult shirt can be had for as little as £25 - if you are a Port Talbot fan. Aberystwyth Town charge £43.99 for wearing your team colours, more than the £40 Premier League newcomers Bournemouth ask for their shirts.

His two co-defendants, who are the mothers of children he abused, were jailed for 14 and 17 years. Sentencing the three, Mr Justice Royce said the case broke "new ground" and "plunged into new depths of depravity". Watkins was sentenced to 29 years in prison with a further six years on licence, but he will be eligible for parole after serving two thirds of the prison term. He was sentenced alongside the two mothers known as Woman A and Woman B who also pleaded guilty to child abuse charges. Woman A was jailed for 14 years and Woman B was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Watkins admitted the attempted rape and sexual assault of a child under 13 but pleaded not guilty to rape. He also admitted conspiring to rape a child, three counts of sexual assault involving children, seven involving taking, making or possessing indecent images of children and one of possessing an extreme pornographic image involving a sex act on an animal. During sentencing, Mr Justice Royce said: "Those who have appeared in these courts over many years, see here, a large number of horrific cases," he said. Ian Watkins has been given what is called an extended sentence. It is used for public protection in the case of offenders who are deemed particularly dangerous. His total sentence is 35 years, 29 of which will be served in prison plus a six year period served in the community on licence. If he were to breach the terms of that licence, he could be immediately returned to prison. He will have to serve two thirds of the 29 year custodial part of his sentence before he can be considered for release by the Parole Board - it does not mean he will be released at that point. At the time of release from prison, the six year extension on licence kicks in. The legislation says the extension period is "of such length as the court considers necessary for the purpose of protecting members of the public from serious harm". "This case breaks new ground. Any decent person... will experience shock, revulsion and incredulity." He added it was a "classic case that the evidence was so overwhelming" there should not be credit given. The judge said Watkins had a "corrupting influence", and had shown a "complete lack of remorse". He also said Watkins posed a significant risk to the public in particular to women with young children. He told Woman A: "What you were both doing is both sickening and incomprehensible" and said to Woman B that she did not regard her child as a human being. Earlier on Wednesday, defending barrister Sally O'Neill QC said how Watkins "belatedly realised the gravity of what happened" and was "deeply, deeply sorry". She told the court how he had developed an "obsession" with filming himself having sex and had become addicted to drugs at the age of 30. She said Watkins had no memory of the crime involving Woman A and her son, where he admitted to the attempted rape of a baby. "Because he had no memory he could not believe he had done that," she said, adding he had now "confronted reality" over what he had done. Watkins was on 15-minute suicide watch while on remand, the court heard. Jonathan Fuller QC, defending for Woman A, said she felt genuine remorse and was devastated by what she had done. Christine Laing QC, defending Woman B, said she was clearly remorseful for her behaviour and the loss of her child was her punishment. Meanwhile, South Wales Police are investigating whether Watkins also committed offences in Germany and America and the IPCC has confirmed it was investigating three police forces over the case. Detective Chief Inspector Peter Doyle, senior investigating officer, said the sentences reflected the gravity of the crimes and the investigation uncovered "the most disturbing child abuse evidence" he had seen in his 28 years as an officer. "Today's sentence does not mark the end of our investigations and we will work tirelessly to identify any other victims or witnesses and seek the justice they deserve. Police watchdog the IPCC is investigating three forces over their handling of allegations made about Ian Watkins between 2008-2012. South Yorkshire, Bedfordshire and South Wales are being investigated over information received about Watkins prior to his arrest in December 2012. Three other forces, Essex, West Yorkshire and the Metropolitan Police, also supplied information that they had been given about Watkins for the inquiry but are not currently under investigation. An officer from South Wales is the focus of the IPCC probe there. Three reports were made to South Yorkshire between March and May 2012 relating to Watkins. A member of the public reported an allegation of child abuse against Watkins in October 2012 to Bedfordshire Police. "In the last few weeks we have received further information that will now be looked at by the investigation team." Earlier he said the investigation was large scale because the amount of data involved - 27 terabytes - was "four or five times" the size of the databases held by South Wales Police. And he said how he was sure there were other child victims. Suzanne Thomas, Senior Crown Prosecutor at CPS Wales, said Watkins was the ringleader and the defendants conspired to commit "appalling crimes of abuse against young and defenceless victims". She added: "He is a highly dangerous and manipulative individual who preyed on his victims in a calculated manner. "The other two defendants were active participants in the most shocking abuse of their own children. They too have received sentences that reflect their admissions of guilt for these offences. "It is incomprehensible that adults would commit such appalling acts against children and young people and our thoughts remain with the victims and those close to them." The 34-year-old Italy international played 46 times for Saracens and most recently played for Zebre in the Pro12. Aguero has been registered and is eligible to play against Stade Francais in Leicester's opening Champions Cup game on Friday. The match at Welford Road starts gets under way at 19:45 GMT. The sculpture, by Welsh artist Cerith Wyn Evans, is the latest artwork to go on show at Tate Britain. The vast maze of neon tubes is one of the most challenging commissions ever to be installed in the neo-classical Duveen Galleries. "It's an extremely ambitious neon drawing in space that gradually unfolds over time," said senior curator Clarrie Wallis as the piece was unveiled on Monday. "It took 19 days solid to install with 25 people working on it - a lot of doughnuts were consumed, but I haven't put on any weight!" Here's a quick video tour in 20 seconds. The sculpture - Forms in Space… by Light (in Time) - is structured into three sections with inspirations ranging from the movements of Japanese Noh theatre to the astrophysics of the Large Hadron Collider. The work begins with a single neon ring which functions "as a peephole", allowing the visitor to orientate themselves. It leads to three discs which resemble the diagrams used by opticians for testing eyesight. The final part of the installation is an explosion of complex lines and shapes that dominate the last gallery. "The light has a particular quality which has been designed to mimic the light in the northern hemisphere on a sunny day," said Ms Wallis. "It's very pure." Wyn Evans is no stranger to Tate Britain, having worked there as a guard in the 1980s while studying at Saint Martins School of Art. "It's a space that he loves and has known for a long period of time," said Ms Wallis. Every year a British artist is invited to make new work in response to the grand spaces of the Duveen Galleries. Previous commissions include Pablo Bronstein (2016), Christina Mackie (2015), Phyllida Barlow (2014), Fiona Banner (2010), Martin Creed (2008) and Mark Wallinger (2007). Cerith Wyn Evans: Forms in Space... by Light (in Time) is at Tate Britain in London from 28 March to 20 August. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

BT is due to acquire EE as soon as the £12.5bn deal receives regulatory approval. BT will buy all of Orange and Deutsche Telekom's EE shares. EE has 31 million customers, of whom 24.5 million are direct mobile customers. EE has focused on expanding its 4G coverage across Europe and is now the continent's largest 4G operator. The company added 1.7 million 4G customers in the first three months of the year. EE has 9.3 million 4G customers and is "firmly on track to reach our target of 14 million 4G customers by year-end," said EE in a statement. Both EE and BT customers will benefit from the takeover, according to EE boss Olaf Swantee. "Customers will be able to get better deals because when they can buy four products, instead of one or two, from the same company they will get significantly better deals," said Mr Swantee. He added that EE had employed 1,000 more call centre staff in the UK in the first quarter of the year, in an effort to improve customer service. It is unclear whether EE will be rebranded after the takeover. Both brands "have a lot of power in the UK market today", said Mr Swantee. The plan unveiled at talks in Morocco addresses terms of a truce and disarmament of armed groups. UN special envoy Bernardino Leon urged the Libyans to back the proposal. Since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has descended into chaos and seen jihadist groups fighting for control of the oil-rich nation. Islamic State (IS) militants have recently managed to gain a foothold in Libya's cities of Derna and Sirte. On Tuesday, the militants said they had seized a power plant near Sirte, which a military source confirmed, Reuters news agency reports. According to the privately owned Libyan al-Wasat newspaper, the insurgents took the facility after a militia linked to the authorities in Tripoli withdrew. The BBC's North Africa correspondent Rana Jawad says with the gradual spread of IS, most of Libya's warring militias are now facing a common threat that did not exist when they declared war on each other. This may prove to be the one element that forces them to work together, she adds. Analysis: BBC North Africa correspondent Rana Jawad, Tunis This latest draft will be attractive to Libya's political rivals, but is unlikely to please the country's warlords. The threat of targeted UN sanctions on individuals may help to get agreement. Key to implementing large parts of the agreement appears to be the creation of a legitimate armed force, which will be a long and difficult process. The delegates taking part in the current dialogue will oversee the deal's implementation and have some short-term decision-making powers. If adopted, it could put Libya back on track if all militias fall into line - or spark a wider conflict if the militias oppose disarmament. And as has happened in recent years, new militia alliances could take shape. "Today, the people of Libya have their eyes on this gathering, on you, in the hope that you'll save your country and your people from protracted conflict," Mr Leon told Libya's two rival governments at the talks in Skhirat. "I am full of hope that this draft represents a fair and reasonable way forward." The UN plan calls for a one-year-long national unity government and says that the parliament elected in 2014 is the only legislative body. However, it says a High Council of State should be formed with 120 members - many of them from the rival parliament - to be Libya's "highest consultative body" with "binding opinions". A council, made up of the prime minister and four other politicians, has also been proposed to be in control the armed forces. Libya's rival power bases Why is Libya so lawless? Islamic State gains Libya foothold Currently, Libya's internationally recognised parliament is based in the eastern port of Tobruk. Its rival, the Islamist-dominated General National Congress, is nearly 1,000km (620 miles) to the west in the capital, Tripoli. Representatives of both groups - who have made no public comments on the UN proposal - are expected to reconvene for talks later this week. "What I can say is at the end of this week, we will have a very clear idea on who is for peace who is not, and that will help us to focus our efforts in the future," the US ambassador to Libya, Deborah Jones, was quoted as saying by Reuters. In a message due to be broadcast later, the Duke of Cambridge and his father, Prince Charles, will call on people to act now to save endangered animals like rhinos, elephants and tigers. There is no suggestion the hunt in Spain was in any way illegal. A royal spokesman said the duke was a "passionate advocate" for wildlife. Speaking about Prince William going hunting in Spain, BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell said: "Such a trip is a world away from shooting endangered species for profit, but some may feel that to go hunting himself just as he launches a high-profile campaign is, at the very least, ill-timed." The duke was joined on the hunting trip by his brother Prince Harry, according to the Sun. A royal spokesman said: "The Duke of Cambridge has for many years been a passionate advocate for endangered wildlife and has campaigned tirelessly to help stop the illegal poaching of rhino horn and elephant tusk. His track record in this area speaks for itself." The joint plea by Prince Charles and the duke comes at the start of a week of wildlife conservation activities by members of the Royal Family, which will end with them attending a conference in London on the illegal wildlife trade. In the broadcast, they speak in various languages, including Mandarin, Arabic and Swahili. Prince Charles, president of the wildlife charity WWF-UK, begins the message by saying the illegal wildlife trade has reached "unprecedented levels of killing and related violence" that it poses a "grave threat" both to endangered animals and to economic and political stability in many areas around the world. In the message, recorded at Clarence House in November, he adds: "More than 30,000 elephants were killed last year, amounting to nearly 100 deaths per day. "In the past 10 years, 62% of African forest elephants have been lost. If this rate continues, the forest elephant will be extinct within ten years. A rhinoceros is killed every 11 hours. "As recently as 100 years ago, there were as many as 100,000 wild tigers living in Asia. Today, there are believed to be fewer than 3,200 left in the wild." The duke, who is royal patron of the wildlife conservation charity Tusk Trust, says: "This year, I have become even more devoted to protecting the resources of the Earth for not only my own son but also the other children of his generation to enjoy." A report by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman highlights "frailties" in risk assessments on Colin Capp after he began showing paranoid behaviour. Capp was sentenced to life imprisonment last May for the murder of Darren Thomas. Here Jeremy Thomas recalls the loss of his brother who he describes as a gentle, lost soul and the circumstances which led to him being in prison. Rituals, however illogical they seem to others, can be a source of comfort when you are grieving. Every morning, on his train journey to work, Jeremy Thomas looks at the barred windows and grey walls of Cardiff prison and sends up "a little prayer" to his late brother. "I tell him I love him, I look to the sky and point upwards and say 'get me through the day'." Jeremy, it seems, sees his late brother as a talisman - someone who, although he was the one in need of protection on earth, is now looking out for him from the afterlife. Darren Thomas was murdered in March 2014. He had been arrested in Cardiff city centre and just days later he was found dead in his cell. He had been brutally attacked. It was a tragic end to a life which, in some ways, seems never to have properly got started. Darren, who was 45, had led a nomadic existence, drifting between rented accommodation, friends' sofas and homeless hostels, punctuated by spells on the streets. He had served 12 short-term prison sentences between July 2011 and January 2014 after breaching an Asbo prohibiting him from entering Cardiff city centre between 0800 GMT and 2000 GMT. The intention was to stop him begging. On 28 February 2014, Darren himself rang police from Queen Street and told them he had breached the Asbo once again. He wanted to be arrested. He missed the relative security of prison. After magistrates gave him a 12-week jail term, he was allocated a cell with Colin Capp, a 23-year-old from Inverness, doing time for arson after setting his girlfriend's flat alight. Darren was described on reception into the prison as "quiet, timid and frail". Vulnerable to bullying in jail, he had asked to be taken to B1 landing, where prisoners who find it difficult to cope on the main wings are accommodated. He was the fourth inmate to share with Colin Capp - three earlier cellmates asked to be moved. On the second night of sharing, Capp dragged Darren from his bed as he slept. Capp - later diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic - wrapped a plastic bag around Darren's head and strangled or suffocated him, before stabbing him 100 times in the neck with a ballpoint pen. "Mum and I used to talk about getting that phone call," Jeremy says. "We thought it would be in the winter, that he'd be found frozen out on the streets or have taken an overdose. "To hear that he'd been murdered somewhere he should have been safe, was a bolt from the blue, nothing you'd ever expect. "But then I didn't even know he was in prison - he hadn't told us. We only realised after his death how many times he'd been in and out of prison for begging. "He'd even been inside on one occasion over Christmas, which broke my Mum's heart." Jeremy agreed to make a formal identification of Darren's body that evening. "I stood beside his body and told him, 'you haven't always been a big brother to me, but I need you to step up now'," he recalls. "I don't know what was going through my mind. I was thinking about the time we'd lost, all the wasted years, time we could have spent together." Jeremy found it comforting that his brother looked at peace. Finally. "He looked…untroubled," he says, "which I hadn't seen in him for a while. "There was always something behind his eyes. He never looked settled, happy. But all that turmoil was gone." Jeremy admits that his resilience had helped him deal with the turbulent events of the past few years. He wishes Darren had possessed just a fraction of this resilience. If he had, it might have made for a different life story. His brother was someone who struggled with life - relationships, learning, sociability and sensibility. Growing up in a terraced home in the Cathays area of Cardiff, Jeremy recalls always doing his best to protect his older brother. "My brother was vulnerable from an early age; he was bullied through school," Jeremy says. "He was soft, he hated violence and would never fight back or stick up for himself, and as soon as people see a weakness they focus in on that. "I used to protect him a lot, growing up, as he was often misunderstood; I was always sticking up for him. "He was a gentle soul, he had a lot of questions for everybody. He had some love in him, but he found it hard to show emotions. "He didn't make strong friendships. For a time he had to wear one of those big head-braces for his teeth, bless him, that made him a target. "He'd make friends with the wrong people and he'd get tarnished with the same brush. "He'd say of the school troublemaker 'oh he's my best friend' - he didn't have good judgement about people." An awkward, accident-prone, often clumsy child, Darren was not lacking in intellect; he had a Mensa-grade IQ. On leaving Roath Park primary school, Darren was sent to Cathays High School rather than Howardian Comprehensive, where most of his contemporaries and his brother went. Jeremy remembers Darren had an unerring memory for facts and figures, particularly anything relating to his passion: motorbikes and Formula One. "He had a great ability to retain detail," Jeremy says. "He'd read motorbike magazines all the time, and a motorbike would go past us and he'd know everything about it, reel off all the relevant information. "He never worked, apart from some work experience from school, but he'd have been amazing in a garage, engines were his thing." It is not certain if Darren had an undiagnosed condition such as autism, dyspraxia, dyslexia, conditions which are much more widely recognised today. "We knew there was always something not quite right about him…you couldn't quite put your finger on it," Jeremy says. "But he was never nasty or malicious. He was like a lost soul." The brothers would spend part of the summer holidays with family in London, where their father, a lorry driver, was from. "When we used to travel to London with my dad, I remember Darren looking at people sleeping under the arches and he'd say 'that's how I'll end up one day'," Jeremy recalls. "Not that it was his dream or vision, or something he necessarily wanted, but he could see himself living that way." In his mid-teens, Darren suffered a serious head injury when he fell against the tail lift of a lorry while helping his father. The injury brought on severe epilepsy, a cruel irony as it meant Darren was not allowed to ride the motorbike which his father recently bought him and which he had coveted for so long. Then when Darren was 16, the boys' parents split up. The teenager's behaviour deteriorated. He was eventually arrested for throwing bricks at a passing train. Darren was referred to Whitchurch psychiatric hospital for assessment, but Jeremy remembers that "the doctors would always say there was nothing wrong with him". Darren left home not long after and became increasingly isolated from his family. He drifted from one rented property to another and began sleeping rough for periods of time. "He was beaten up a few times and had possessions stolen from him by so-called friends," Jeremy recalls. "Mum stopped going into Cardiff city centre in case she saw him. He had long hair and a long beard, he looked a sight, and was always limping because he had really bad athlete's foot. "One time I ran into him on a night out and he had a big lump on his face where someone had hit him - he was just on his way to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary. "It would knock the stuffing out of me, seeing him like that, and it broke mum's heart. "But he would never come home. He knew the system and seemed comfortable in that world. He'd say 'it's not so bad.' "I'd stay out with him sometimes to keep him company." The family endured constant worry as Darren frequently overdosed on prescription medication and, often, called his brother or mother for help. Jeremy does remember his brother having a girlfriend at some point but, when the relationship ended, he overdosed once again. Around 10 years ago, Darren's vulnerability spiralled after he started taking heroin. He had not previously been involved with drugs to any great extent. After a heroin overdose, he was admitted once again to a psychiatric unit. Jeremy has a vivid memory of going to visit him with his distraught mother. "He came out of his room and the heroin had aged him so much, he was like an old man with sunken cheeks, like someone who'd been on a desert island and wasted away," he says. "He was ravaged." Darren was given a methadone prescription subsequently but continued to struggle with his demons. Jeremy tried to reassure his mother that Darren was a grown-up, that he made his own decisions good or bad, that they could not stop him embarking on the life he chose. "For mum I don't think the guilt will ever go," he says. "She's getting stronger but still finds it hard to talk about Darren." There is an inevitable resentment that his brother's lifestyle and its impact on his family took an increasing toll on his mother as the years went by. There is a complex mix of emotions: grief, frustration, sorrow and even anger even at what they have been through. There is also anger that the system could offer nothing better than a prison cell to someone who was homeless and vulnerable, rather than any kind of threat to society. Cardiff Prison organised a memorial service for Darren. "The prisoners lit candles for him - it was very humbling," Jeremy remembers. "They all wrote cards to mum as well and she wrote back thanking them. It was shocking to see how young some of them were. "They had a look in their eyes which reminded me of Darren when he was younger." After the service, Jeremy was given a tour of the prison by the governor. He collected his brother's pitifully few belongings and spent time in the cell where he had been murdered. "Seeing Darren in the morgue was hard but sitting in that cell was tougher," Darren recalled. "They'd cleaned it up, obviously, but it was horrible. "I put some flowers on the bed and said a Jewish prayer, as there's some Jewish in my family. I'm not religious, but I wanted to see, was his soul there?" It is two years since Darren's death but the pain is still raw as Jeremy talks about one of the last times he saw his brother. Jeremy explains that he was en route to meet his girlfriend and had made an effort to look presentable. He bumped into Darren as he walked through Cardiff city centre. The brothers chatted briefly but when Darren, dishevelled as ever with long hair and straggly beard and "not the most fragrant," asked for a hug before they parted. Jeremy refused, concerned that the aroma might cling to him as he met his date. "That's a regret, something that niggles away at me" he says. "I'd give anything for a hug from him now." England under-21 international Abraham, signed on a season's loan from Chelsea, headed home in the 80th minute. Paul Clement's side - without injured Fernando Llorente and transfer-target Gylfi Sigurdsson - took a first half lead through Oliver McBurnie. But substitute Franck Tayou equalised on 69 minutes for the Kickers before Abraham had the last word. Manager Paul Clement told BBC Radio Wales: "I was satisfied with the way we played, lots of players got minutes under their belts. "Half the team played 60 minutes, the other half played 30. Lots of things to work on, but with three and a half weeks to go to the start of the season, we are moving in the right direction." Swansea drew 2-2 with Philadelphia Union in the first game of their tour, having previously lost a friendly 1-0 at Barnet. They complete their American training trip against North Carolina, on Saturday. Commodity prices have been falling all week, with the price of copper hitting a six-year low, and oil near six-and-a-half-year lows. Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed down 2.2% at 22,396.14 - leading Asia's losses. Shares in mining giant Glencore fell 6.7%, after having seen its London-listed shares drop 7.6% on Thursday. Like all mining companies, Glencore has been affected by the fall in commodity prices, but it is also seeking to reduce huge debt levels. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite fell 1.4% to 3,580.84. Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index closed down 1.45% at 5,051.30. Shares in BHP Billiton, Australia's biggest miner, were down as much as 3% in early trade, but recovered slightly to close down 1.84%. "The slide in commodities has seen BHP at its lowest price in a decade and has seen the Australian energy sector cross over the 30% decline level for the first time this year," IG Market's Evan Lucas told the BBC. He said the materials sector - which includes mining and refining of metals as well as chemical producers - was now making up 13.5% of the Australian stock exchange, down from 27% in 2011. "The only commodities to see green in overnight trade were coffee, sugar and beef," Mr Lucas added. Adding to BHP's problems, the Brazilian government fined BHP Billiton and its partner Vale for a dam burst at their jointly-owned mine. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed down 0.5% at 19,596.91, while South Korea's Kospi index ended lower by 1% at 1,973.29. Pope Francis has promised to visit Ireland for the World Meeting of Families in August 2018. Michael D Higgins held a 15-minute audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday, then met the secretary of state of the Vatican. Afterwards, he said "there is a better prospect and more scope" for a papal visit to Northern Ireland. Mr Higgins said that during the longer meeting with secretary of state Cardinal Petro Parolin there was the opportunity to discuss "the changed circumstances of the last papal visit and the different circumstances now". He added: "I have to say as well that, in all of that, in that second longer meeting, we were able to discuss specifically the importance of the Brexit negotiations in relation to the peace process. "I think there was general agreement that circumstances were quite different now, and therefore the difficulties that might have been anticipated years ago, these circumstances were changed." When pressed if Pope Francis and Cardinal Parolin both felt that circumstances had changed, President Higgins said: "Yes, there is agreement that circumstances have changed and that there is a better prospect and more scope." Last year, the late Martin McGuinness, then Northern Ireland's deputy first minister, said he believed Pope Francis would cross the border and visit Northern Ireland in August 2018. He told journalists: "I've been around a long time and I know how these things work." A spokesman for First Minister Arlene Foster said if the Pope visited Northern Ireland as a head of state, she would meet him. However, the Irish Catholic press office refused to confirm the visit would take place at the time. According to a statement, President Higgins and the Pope also discussed migration, climate change, global poverty and the forthcoming Brexit negotiations during Monday's meeting. The president and his wife presented Pope Francis with a climate bell designed by the Irish artist Vivienne Roche. In return, the Pope Francis presented the president and his wife with medallions with an inscription of Isaiah, in which the Old Testament prophet refers to the desert becoming a fertile field, and the field then becoming a forest. Nathan Matthews, 28, admits killing his 16-year-old stepsister but denies murder and conspiring to kidnap her. Under cross examination, prosecutor William Mousley asked him how he felt about "cutting her body into pieces" with a circular saw. Mr Matthews told Bristol Crown Court he "did what I had to". Mr Mousley asked if his attitude changed after he killed her, to which he replied: " I didn't have any attitude after." Referring to 15 stab wounds delivered to Becky's abdomen after her death, the prosecutor asked Mr Matthews: "What about how you treated her after you killed her?" He responded: "That's got nothing to do with how I felt about her." Mr Matthews admitted being attracted to teenage girls and watching pornography after having sex with his long-term girlfriend Shauna Hoare, 21. The defendant, who is accused of murdering Miss Watts in a sexually-motivated kidnap plot with Ms Hoare, denied he fancied his stepsister. He admitted he did not like the teenager because she was rude to his mother, Anjie Galsworthy, her stepmother, but refuted suggestions he had wanted to harm her. Earlier, Bristol Crown Court was told Mr Matthews denied downloading a pornographic film found on his laptop about the rape of a young girl. He told the jury he would not have downloaded or watched the film and would have deleted the 17-minute clip "straight away". Mr Matthews said he looked at online pornography "at least every two days" with his interest starting with magazines before moving on to internet videos. However, Mr Matthews insisted his girlfriend did not share his interest in pornography. Mr Matthews' defence lawyer, Adam Vaitilingam QC questioned him about a series of text and Facebook messages in which he and Ms Hoare talked about kidnapping teenage girls. Mr Matthews said the messages were "just taking the mick basically" and not serious. He said he was "open" with her about if he found someone attractive. "Sometimes she would catch me looking and she would slap me, or smack me, not violently and tell me off, saying I'm looking at her or whatever," he said. Mr Matthews also told jurors he had a "fear" that Ms Hoare would leave him. He had previously admitted there was violence in his relationship with his partner and he had "anger issues" and would "bottle things up" and would "flip" when he got "overwhelmed". However, he denied that when he tried to knock Becky out on the day he killed her at her home in St George, Bristol, it had been a "violent attack". Becky went missing on 19 February and her body was found in a shed several days later. Asked how he was able to dismember Becky, Mr Matthews told the court: "It was like a bad dream, it is hard to explain exactly." Shortly afterwards he said he realised he needed to remove her remains from the home he shared with Ms Hoare because he "knew the police were coming". Asked why he finally confessed to the killing after days of repeatedly lying about being involved in Becky's disappearance, Mr Matthews said her family "deserved to know the truth and have a burial and say goodbye". Mr Matthews, of Hazelbury Drive in Warmley, South Gloucestershire, also admits perverting the course of justice, preventing lawful burial and possessing a prohibited weapon. Ms Hoare, 21, of Cotton Mill Lane, Bristol, denies murder and conspiracy to kidnap, a weapons charge, perverting the course of justice and preventing a burial. Two other men, Donovan Demetrius, 29, and James Ireland, 23, deny assisting an offender. The trial continues. A vote at the East Lothian club failed to rally a two-thirds majority of members behind allowing women to join. East Lothian Labour MSP Iain Gray has lodged a motion at the Scottish Parliament calling for the club to "consider the decision again". David Cameron, Nicola Sturgeon and golf professionals, including Rory McIlroy, have also criticised the move. Despite 64% of members voting to allow women, this fell short of the required two-thirds majority to change club rules. The club has been barred from hosting the Open Championship as a result. Mr Gray's motion says "every golf club in Scotland has a duty to be inclusive and reflect modern society and that to do so clubs need to be open to both male and female golfers". It also says the decision was "disappointing for equality" and will have a "detrimental impact on East Lothian and its local economy through the loss of the opportunity to host major competitions such as the Open". It adds that the club should consider the decision again at the earliest opportunity. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called Muirfield's rejection of women members "indefensible". East Lothian MP George Kerevan has also called for the club to change its mind, saying the decision has "shredded" Muirfield's reputation and impacted dreadfully on the image of golf in Scotland. Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, the SNP politician said: "I keep saying the reputational damage to Muirfield itself is so dreadful. "I think the members, now they've woken up to these headlines, they'll be thinking 'oh we got that wrong'. There'll be a lot of discussion. "So let's have another vote as soon as we can and get this off the table and get on with golf." Golf's governing body, the Royal and Ancient, said it would not stage the Open "at a venue that does not admit women as members". Muirfield has previously hosted the Open Championship on 16 occasions since 1892, the last time being in 2013. Prime Minister David Cameron has criticised Muirfield, and backed the decision to bar it from hosting the Open. Leading players have also voiced their opposition to Muirfield's stance on women members. At the Irish Open at the K Club in Kildare, world number three Rory McIlroy described the decision as "disappointing". Scottish pro Catriona Matthew tweeted she was "embarrassed to be a Scottish woman golfer from East Lothian after that decision". Denmark's Thomas Bjorn tweeted "Augusta and the R & A did it (admit women) but Muirfield "couldn't join us in the 21st century". Ivan Khodabakhsh, chief executive of the Ladies European Tour, said: "The decision is appalling. "We are in the 21st Century and we are talking about criteria which discriminate based on gender. "I thought these things were left behind us in the late 19th/early 20th Century - discriminating against women, and setting criteria for membership based on gender. I'm speechless." Meanwhile, golf commentator Peter Alliss suggested women who want to join Muirfield should "get married to someone who's a member". Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Mr Alliss said the issue was "a very emotive subject". He told the programme: "The women who are there are wives of husbands. They get all the facilities. If somebody wants to join, you'd better get married to someone who's a member." Mr Alliss, 85, continued: "I believe clubs were formed years ago by people of like spirit - doctors, lawyers, accountants, bakers, butchers, whatever they like. "And they joined in like spirit to talk amongst them and to do whatever. I want to join the WVS (Women's Voluntary Service) but unless I have a few bits and pieces nipped away on my body I'm not going to be able to get in." Celtic begin their quest for the group stages against either Flora Tallin of Estonia or the semi-professional Gibraltar side Lincoln Red Imps. And Kennedy insists Celtic will be ready for the first leg on 12/13 July. "With Brendan coming in it will certainly take our preparation up a notch," said the first team coach. "At this stage we'll go in as favourites but as we always do we'll make sure we're up to speed, we're fit, we're strong and the team's fully prepared going into the game. "Obviously with it being the Champions League we can take no chances and Brendan is very detailed in the way he looks at things. "It's early doors and he'll get his message across tactically in terms of how he wants his team to play, but he has always spoken about wanting to attack. "That's in his make-up and he wants to have an attacking team with real intensity. "He wants to dominate every game in Scotland if we can and try to take that into Europe. He wants us to have no fear in the way we play and to turn Celtic Park into a real fortress. "He wants to make sure teams know when they come to Celtic Park that they'll be up against it and it's important we do that. "That happens on the training pitch and getting the message across. He's got some great ideas in terms of how he sees the game so it's important we all buy into that and the players do the same. Hopefully you'll see the rewards on the pitch." Kennedy is the only one of the first team coaching staff to remain at the club following the departure of manager Ronny Deila and his assistant John Collins. And he is relishing the chance to be part of the new regime under former Liverpool boss Rodgers. "It's the same position again," he explained. "Obviously, Chris Davies has come in as assistant manager and I've stayed on as first team coach. "When Ronny and John left I was still here and I got a call from Brendan to have a chat and basically he said he wanted to keep me on and be part of his new set-up and stay on in my role as first team coach. "It was a great opportunity. For myself to walk away from an opportunity to work with a manager of his calibre would be silly for me at this point in my career. "It's a great opportunity for me and everybody's excited about things going forward." The claims follow police efforts to track down those behind a series of arson and criminal damage offences. Sam, from Bristol Defendant Solidarity (BDS), said: "It most certainly does look like harassment to the people on the receiving end of it." Police admitted visiting peoples' homes and workplaces but denied harassment. Police say they are searching for a suspect called Huw Norfolk - also known as "Badger" - in connection with the attacks. Referring to the secret police in the former East Germany, Sam, who did not want to give his full name, said: "That often repeated saying, 'If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear' was invented by the Stasi. "The tactics the police are using at the moment have quite a few resemblances to the tactics used by the Stasi and police forces throughout the world." Eddie, another BDS member, said police had been visiting other anarchist organisations, "knocking on people's doors, going to people's houses, making wrongful arrests". Workplaces and homes were also frequently visited and police were "quite forceful" with interrogations, he said. Ch Supt Julian Moss, head of CID for Avon and Somerset Police, said: "If anybody has a complaint to make, it's important they come and talk to us and we would be happy to listen. "We have given that offer and so far nobody's taken that up. "We have been round to places of work to discuss anarchism and to understand the community better, that I am absolutely certain of. I think that is legitimate." All able-bodied South Korean men are obliged to complete two years of military service between the ages of 18 and 35. Bae had hoped to delay his service to continue his golfing career, but the Daegu court said the military had been right to deny the request. He said he would "humbly accept" the ruling, said the Yonhap news agency. Bae, who is based in the US, also apologised to his fans, saying he had been "doing the best" he could to extend his stay so he could remain in competition. "But the court's ruling today reminded me of the fact I should put my duty as a South Korean citizen ahead of my golfing career," he said. "I decided that I can mature further as a golfer by returning home as soon as I can and complete my mandatory military service." Bae is currently ranked 107 globally by the PGA. The court said it was aware Bae would financially lose out by missing out on PGA Tours, but said that "for everyone facing conscription, dreams are all precious". "If an athlete is allowed to arbitrarily schedule when he'd enter the military because he'd lose more money than others, then it would damage the idea of fairness in conscription and also the morale among the troops." Bae, who is currently competing in the RBC Canadian Open in Ontario, has not yet indicated when he will return to South Korea. Proposed changes to the PGA Tour regulations could, however, mean he would be allowed to return to the tour at the same level after completing his military service. The rules, expected to be approved next week, would mean that "mandatory obligations" would be considered alongside medical and family crises as grounds for allowing a player to return despite missing key competitions. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service has just 20 women firefighters out of 838, and Rhondda has one of the lowest number of retained female firefighters. It said that was because some believed it was not a traditional female job. It wants to change attitudes and promote it as a valid career for women. Station commander John Jenkins, who runs three retained fire stations in Rhondda, said some people in the area had traditional views on what jobs men and women should do, which could be preventing some from signing up. Mr Jenkins said the fire service wanted to change that view and demonstrate that the role of a retained firefighter is flexible and gives women the opportunity to develop new skills. He said women were an "untapped resource" and, in his view, there were no barriers to the job. He said while all recruits must be physically fit, it was a team job that played to people's strengths. The 49-year-old man from Rochester died at the scene on the A252 in Chilham, Kent, at 13:48 BST on Sunday. His passenger, a 43-year-old woman from Gillingham, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Vauxhall Zafira involved suffered minor injuries. Police are appealing for any witnesses to the collision to come forward. Although the company takes its wheat from within 50 miles of its processing plants in Northampton, wheat is priced in dollars and the weaker pound means it takes more pounds to buy dollar-listed items. The warning came as the company announced it was investing £30m in its UK manufacturing sites. These are at Burton Latimer and Corby. A range of companies, including Next, have warned of higher prices thanks to sterling's fall since June's vote to leave the European Union. Last year, a row over prices between Tesco and supplier Unilever meant Marmite and a number of other well-known brands were temporarily unavailable on the supermarket giant's website. Last week, official figures showed the rate of Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rose to 1.6% last month, up from 1.2% in November, while higher costs for imported materials and fuels pushed up producer prices. Giles Turrell, the chief executive of Weetabix, told the BBC price rises would be a last resort and would be in the low single digits. Weetabix has been made in the UK since 1932. The business is widely reported to be up for sale by its Chinese owners Bright Food, which bought its 60% stake in 2012. Many of the world's biggest names in food processing, including the UK's Associated British Foods, the US's Post Holdings and Italy's Barilla, have been named as possible suitors. The finding comes from an annual "stress test" conducted by the Federal Reserve. The tests were put in place after the financial crisis to strengthen financial capacity in the event of a downturn. Banks have been pushing to relax those rules. Some said Thursday's results could make it easier to convince policymakers to do so. "We see today's ... stress test results as a positive for Trump administration efforts to deregulate the banks," Jaret Seiberg, a policy analyst with Cowen & Co, told Reuters. The Federal Reserve tested to see how banks with $50bn (£39.4bn) or more would respond in the event of a global recession, if unemployment increased to 10% and property values declined. That would trigger combined losses of nearly $500bn over more than two years - including $383bn from loans - but the firms have enough of a cushion to handle such a blow, the Federal Reserve said. Since 2009, the 34 firms have added more than $750bn in common equity capital, the Federal Reserve said. Jerome H Powell, a governor of the Federal Reserve who has urged some regulatory reform, said the tests show that "even during a severe recession, our large banks would remain well capitalised". "This would allow them to lend throughout the economic cycle and support households and businesses when times are tough," he said. The firms reviewed included Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo. A second, more closely watched component is due next week. The BBC charts the struggle for independence, the dividing lines drawn in haste, the jubilation of freedom and the catastrophic violence that would reverberate through the next 70 years. TAP HERE TO EXPLORE ITS ROOTS AND LEGACY THROUGH THE BBC ARCHIVE Police received some 200 referrals between April and July, compared to about 100 in the four months before. The referrals were made in the period where the Manchester, London Bridge and Finsbury Park attacks occurred. Prevent aims to support those at risk of joining extremist groups and carrying out terrorist activities. In total, there were about 6,300 referrals to Prevent in 2016-17, but police say fewer than one in 10 came from the public. The majority of referrals come from statutory agencies, such as teachers, health and social workers, police and the security services. Simon Cole, who leads Prevent, said it was "encouraging" more people were contacting police about potential radicalisation. "But if we are to successfully stop vulnerable people from being drawn into violent extremism, then family members, friends and community leaders must trust us sooner with their concerns. "Not only will that possibly stop another lethal terrorist attack from taking place, but it will also potentially prevent vulnerable people from being drawn into criminal activity from which there is no coming back." Figures also show that the share of referrals that relate to extreme right-wing ideology has doubled to about 15%, while 55% to 60% are linked to Islamist extremism. BBC home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani Although the number of referrals from the community remains very small, Chief Constable Cole says they are coming from all manner of places, including locations that are of the most concern to counter-terrorism chiefs. The big question is why is the number of community referrals low in the first place? Is it because people are not sure what to report, or are they scared of what the police will do? It is almost certainly a bit of both, given understandable confusion around what constitutes violent extremism (and the journey towards it) and the "toxic brand" accusation levelled against Prevent from other quarters. Having said that, Prevent chiefs think they can change the messaging around the brand. They argue that when people get fuller information about what happens in Prevent, they stop seeing it as a spying network and understand it as more of a social work strategy. Under Prevent, police and other organisations attempt to build relationships across the UK with members of the public - including faith leaders, teachers and doctors - and urge them to report any concerns to them. After this, the referral will be assessed to decide if further action is needed. But critics have branded the scheme "toxic". The Green Party's co-leader Caroline Lucas has previously said "the Muslim community believe it's been an attack on their group in particular". But the head of the Metropolitan Police Service's counter-terrorism command denied this and said the criticism had been down to "ignorance" over Prevent. "Some of the criticisms come from sections of the community that, for a variety of different reasons, political or otherwise, just don't want Prevent to work in the first place," Cdr Dean Haydon told the BBC's Asian Network. Valdes, 35, will leave Boro at the end of June after his deal was terminated a year early by mutual consent. Guzan, 32, had already agreed to join MLS side Atlanta United in January. Boro also announced the departure of their head of recruitment Victor Orta, while striker Alvaro Negredo posted a message of thanks to the club's fans as his loan from Valencia came to an end. "I go with the sadness of leaving the club in a place it doesn't deserve and with the certainty that you will go back where you belong, the Premier League," he wrote on Twitter. Middlesbrough are yet to appoint a permanent manager, with former assistant Steve Agnew having taken temporary charge following the sacking of Aitor Karanka in March. "Victoria was one of my idols," said the 34-year-old after taking her bows on the first night of Funny Girl at the Savoy Theatre, after transferring from the Menier Chocolate Factory. "I grew up watching all her stuff and she was someone I really looked up to." "She was ridiculously talented so it's a massive loss." Smith said that one celebrated Wood sketch - a parody of Cole Porter's Let's Do It in which Wood sang about having her bottom struck with a Woman's Weekly - had had her "crying with laughter". "She had the ability to make you laugh and break your heart, within a second," added the Cilla star, who plays vaudeville performer Fanny Brice in the London musical production. Alison Steadman, Smith's co-star in BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey, said she had been a "huge fan" of Wood's and had seen her perform at the Royal Albert Hall. "She stood on that stage, in command of her audience, and was absolutely hilarious," the actress recalled. Steadman said she was "so shocked" to hear the news of Wood's death as she had not been aware she was in ill health. "She was delightful, talented and good fun, so it's so sad," she continued. Comedian Marcus Brigstocke was another audience member with warm memories of Wood, calling her "breathtakingly funny and so full of heart". "Her comedy came from such a kind and loving place," he told the BBC. "It always seemed to me to be very joyful." David Baddiel, Samantha Bond and Downton Abbey's Sue Johnston were also at the Savoy Theatre to see Smith receive a standing ovation for her performance. The actress has been praised for putting her own stamp on a role that Barbra Streisand famously played - to Oscar-winning effect - in the 1968 film. Funny Girl runs at the Savoy Theatre until 8 October. The actress, who has served as the UN Goodwill Ambassador since 2006, appears in an ad campaign for the airline. The company launched the campaign with Nicole Kidman onboard its new Airbus. The Association of Professional Flight Attendants released a statement urging her to step down. In an open letter to the Oscar-winning actress, Laura Glading, the president of the union, which represents 25,000 American flight attendants, claimed the sponsorship deal was at odds with her role as a UN Women's Goodwill Ambassador. The statement, released to the Hollywood Reporter, said: "We urge you, on behalf of the women and girls that you spoke of so eloquently [on International Women's Day], not to play a part in promoting Etihad Airways, a company that imposes abusive labour practices on its female employees and whose sole owner is a government that stands against the very world that you imagine. "Later that very same week, we saw that you had begun appearing in a new campaign for Etihad, a company that the Wall Street Journal has publicly reported 'may fire women if they become pregnant' and forces flight attendants to live in 'confinement' in secure compounds'. "These are the types of conditions that APFA fought to eradicate decades ago in the United States." The airline responded saying: "Our commitment to the welfare, safety, and well-being of the diverse group of men and women who have worked so hard to make Etihad Airways great is one of our airline's top priorities." Specifically addressing the claims about pregnancy, Etihad said it "fully supports its cabin crew during and after their pregnancy". The statement went on: "When a cabin crew member informs Etihad of a pregnancy, she is provided with appropriate ground duties for the duration of their pregnancy. During this time, she remains fully compensated and fully engaged on the ground." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube

Media playback is not supported on this device Lee, who in 2013 was given a 12-year suspension for match-fixing, has set up an academy in Shenzhen. The former world number five's ban will end on 12 October 2024 - the date of his 50th birthday. "I've seen a lot of talent here, it's raw talent and they are very capable young players," the 40-year-old told the BBC. "I'm very impressed." In an Inside Out West feature, Lee reveals he intends to travel to China once a month to act as a mentor for children as young as 12. "I'm hoping to get involved and bring some really good young players through for the future," he said. Lee, a professional for more than 20 years and the winner of five ranking titles, was found to have fixed the outcomes of seven matches in 2008 and 2009. He was also found to have conspired to lose his 2009 World Championship first-round match to Ryan Day, in which he was defeated 10-4. World Snooker chief Barry Hearn said he has "no sympathy" for Lee, but added he was "free to do as he pleased" in starting the academy in China. "Stephen Lee was a top player, but he took the wrong path and as such he paid the ultimate price," said Hearn. Media playback is not supported on this device "The 12-year ban fitted the crime - I would have gone for a life ban, you have to send a message to the broadcasters and sponsors. Integrity is paramount. "There is no sympathy when you are dealing with the future of the sport. It's a sad situation for the individual, no-one wants to see anyone suffer, but he brought about it himself, therefore he has to pay the price." Lee first visited China in 1997 and said he "always liked" the country, adding: "The fans are brilliant, they know their stuff and love their snooker. "There is raw talent and they need to be taught the right things from an early age and then the world is their oyster. "The plan is to work closely with the players and bring them to a higher level in their game and give them a chance of turning professional. It's very exciting times." Hearn has overseen a transformation of the sport in recent years and says Lee, who has always maintained his innocence, is no longer a member of World Snooker. "Everybody deserves a second chance," said Hearn. "He is totally free to earn a living and support himself and his family. I wish him every success with that. He has paid the price with his professional career." Watch the full Inside Out West feature on BBC One West on Monday from 19:30 BST For some of Jeremy Corbyn's opponents, Friday's results suggest that the opinion polls are broadly right and the best approach towards self-preservation in the next month or so, as a general election approaches, is to keep what they hope will be a safe distance from the party leader. As one former minister put it "I don't want him anywhere near my seat - they should continue to send him to places we won't win". A senior Labour figure described the party's local election performance as "calamitous". So much so that some of Mr Corbyn's supporters fear another attempted putsch by his internal opponents. That doesn't seem likely, though. John Curtice: Six key lessons for the general election That's because many of those who are sceptical about his leadership say there is no obvious mechanism to remove him - and he would use any evidence of a plot to excuse a bad general election result. Time and again the phrase they use is that those around Jeremy Corbyn must "own" any defeat. The former Labour group leader in Derbyshire, Dave Wilcox, saw control of his council pass to the Conservatives today. He told the BBC he wouldn't be calling for Jeremy Corbyn's resignation right now - but if Labour were to suffer a similar defeat nationally on 8 June, the party leader should go. He told me: "Genuine Labour supporters have been saying we can't vote for this bloke because he doesn't speak for me. "We heard it time and time and time again on the doorstep. We are not voting for you while you have Jeremy Corbyn as leader." The party's mayoral candidate in the West Midlands, Sion Simon - close to Labour deputy leader Tom Watson - chose to focus not on the party leader to explain his defeat. Instead, he said he got "the sense that some of our voters don't have confidence any more that we share their core Labour values". But Mr Corbyn's allies blame a collapse in the UKIP vote, as well as previous attempts by some of his own MPs to undermine him, for the poor results. Publicly, the official line from the Labour leadership is that the council elections were disappointing, not disastrous - but privately some of Mr Corbyn's close colleagues have indeed used the word "disaster" to describe the results. There won't be any wholesale change to their strategy now but there is an unofficial four-point plan to improve the party's standing. First, they'll redouble their efforts to get younger non-voters registered as they believe they will be more sympathetic to a radical Labour party. Second - as shadow chancellor John McDonnell made clear in his media appearances today - they are likely to make Jeremy Corbyn more, not less prominent, in the campaign. The shadow chancellor believes the leader's image so far has been "distorted" by a hostile press but now we are in a formal election campaign, there will be more balanced broadcast coverage. And, crucially, there will also be more opportunities to see an "unmediated" leader in the raw - and that voters will warm to his decency. Third, they intend to bolster doorstep campaigning. Jeremy Corbyn's office are keen to find out just how much of this had been carried out in areas where council results were poor. They want more direct conversations with potential voters so their message isn't only seen through the prism of the mainstream media.. And finally, there will be a renewed emphasis on what the late Tony Benn would have referred to as "policies, not personalities". The Labour leadership believe that when their manifesto is unveiled in 10 days time, popular policies will boost their poll ratings. But Labour's private polling also suggested that many of the party's individual policies in 2015 were popular - and that didn't guarantee success at the ballot box. And Labour's five million doorstep conversations with the public at the last election didn't mean that voters liked what they were hearing. But overall the message is that the leader and his supporters must do more to play to their strengths. To coin a phrase, there is no alternative. French authorities said secret payments made to players and agents during deals between French and Premier League clubs are the focus of the probe. Newcastle and West Ham's grounds were raided on Wednesday, as HMRC deployed 180 officers across the UK and France. Marveaux, 31, joined Newcastle from Rennes in 2011 and made 39 appearances. He returned to France to join Lorient last year. Newcastle's managing director Lee Charnley was also arrested. He was released without charge at about 17:00 BST on Wednesday. The French Prosecutor's office says 10 searches were carried out in France and four people were placed in police custody. "The British authorities suspect secret payments may have been made to benefit certain players, their agents or third parties, allowing them to avoid paying tax on the income, or making social security payments," said a statement from the French Prosecutor's office. French officials were asked by HMRC to provide assistance to their investigation in July 2016. It took a further nine months before officers launched their raids on both sides of the Channel. HMRC said it searched premises in the north east and south east of England, and seized business records, financial records, computers and mobile phones. West Ham's London Olympic Stadium and Newcastle's St James' Park were among the locations raided. HMRC officers also visited offices belonging to Chelsea FC "in connection with its wider investigation", a club spokesman confirmed. But it is understood the club's premises were not raided and no arrests were made. BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway The wheels of tax investigations turn slowly - so any sporting implications resulting from these arrests and raids may not be known for some time. It would appear, on face value, that Premier League points and status for both West Ham United and newly promoted Newcastle United are safe for now. However this "on-going" investigation risks creating instability and uncertainty for both clubs at a time when they both, for different reasons, need it the most. HMRC investigations of this scale are costly and only undertaken in the most serious of circumstances. This isn't going away anytime soon. Rafael Benitez, celebrating promotion on Monday, told reporters it was good to work at a club where there's no backroom politics, a not so subtle reference to his tumultuous time at Real Madrid. With Newcastle having documents seized, and further questions looming for its senior officials, he may have spoken too soon. A 148-run second-wicket stand between ex-home skipper Marcus Trescothick and current captain Chris Rogers was the cornerstone of the hosts' 342-4. Both went short of a ton, Trescothick for 97 and Rogers for 91. But James Hildreth was still there at stumps on 68, aided by Jim Allenby's 51 on a day when just four wickets fell. After play finished bang on time at 18:00 BST, with 96 overs bowled in the day, Somerset will resume in the morning needing 58 runs from 14 overs to gain maximum batting points. A large crowd was there to witness Yorkshire electing to bowl first in warm sunshine on a dry-looking pitch - and the visitors were made to pay. England leg spinner Adil Rashid, who was not introduced until the 50th over, came on to claim the wickets of both Trescothick, in only his second over, and Rogers, with a googly. But there was little in the pitch for the Yorkshire seamers, who managed only one breakthrough in the morning session. when Tom Abell was bowled between bat and pad by a ball that nipped back from Steve Patterson. Reigning La Liga champions Atletico took an early lead at the Bernabeu as Tiago headed in from a corner. Cristiano Ronaldo, on his return from injury, scored a penalty he had won to bring the teams level soon after. But Atletico, who had to resist plenty of home pressure, won the game courtesy of Arda Turan's neat finish. Prior to the game, Atletico boss Diego Simeone had downplayed his side's chances of defending their league crown following a summer exodus that saw five key players from last season's La Liga-conquering team depart the club. While his current crop of players may lack some of the attacking flair of their predecessors they appear to have quickly picked up the tactical nous and spirit that have become the hallmark of their manager's teams. Like the 2013-14 side, this Atletico team are also physically imposing, which they demonstrated throughout and notably in the 10th minute when Tiago made his way to the near post to plant a header into the net from Koke's corner. The goal was also further evidence for the critics, whose knives were still sharp from the way they capitulated at Real Sociedad two weeks ago, that this is a Real team who are only quality so long as the ball is heading in the direction of the opposition goal and not their own. However, this time Real rallied after going behind and with the returning Ronaldo included in their attack they had the firepower to respond. As he has done on so many occasions, the Portuguese forward created his own scoring opportunity, by tumbling in the box under minimum contact from Guilherme Siquiera, before converting it by sending goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya the wrong way. Ronaldo was also the supplier of two subsequent chances for Karim Benzema, the first of which the Frenchman ruined with a heavy touch when through on goal, the second a header which drew a superb save from Moya. Unfortunately, Ronaldo is clearly not fully fit - as demonstrated by the way he faded as a threat - while his attacking companions were woefully off colour. Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez - combined cost £156m - were peripheral figures throughout, while Toni Kroos was poorly-deployed as a holding midfielder. But to focus on Real's inadequacies takes away from Atletico's performance, which was a master-class in containment and counter-attack. As the game wore on and Real's frustration grew, so did the visitors' belief and after Turan had flashed one shot past the post in the 73rd minute he went one better three minutes later by sweeping home a neat finish past Iker Casillas. Real huffed and puffed for the remaining 14 minutes, but the Atletico held firm. Talks on Turkey's bid for EU integration are being sped up as part of a deal which would see the country help to tackle Europe's migrant crisis. Tory MP and Leave campaigner Owen Paterson warned that Turkish accession could impact on immigration, and said it was a "real concern" to UK voters. Mr Osborne told the BBC's Andrew Marr the UK had "a veto" over the issue. He raised the prospect of the UK stopping Turkey joining the EU unless its economic prosperity was similar to the UK. Last week, EU and Turkish leaders gathered in Brussels to discuss ways to ease the ongoing migration crisis which is engulfing Europe. Under the plan - which is not yet finalised - all migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey would be returned. For each Syrian sent back, a Syrian already in Turkey would be resettled in the EU. In return, Turkey would receive more funding and there would be faster progression on accession talks, including a relaxing of visa restrictions for Turkish citizens travelling to the EU. On Sunday's Andrew Marr show, Mr Osborne said: "We have a veto over whether Turkey joins or not. "We can set conditions and we have made it absolutely clear that we will not accept new member states to the European Union and give them unfettered free movement of people unless their economies are much closer in size and prosperity to ours." He added: "I don't frankly think Turkish accession is on the cards any time soon. We could, if we wanted to, veto it as other countries could." The idea of Turkey joining the EU is controversial, with critics arguing that a large, mainly Muslim country with many rural poor could change the whole character of the EU. Conservative former minister Owen Paterson, who is backing an EU exit, told Sky News' Murnaghan programme that the question of Turkish accession was a "massive" issue. "Letting in 77 million people who have a long 750-mile border with, sadly, incredibly unstable... states, Syria and Iraq, I think is something of real concern to many people." "This is the lurking huge iceberg under the surface," he added - and predicted it would "undoubtedly" influence the outcome of the UK's in-out referendum on the EU, on 23 June. Boris Johnson has also voiced concerns, saying in a speech on Friday that he was "very dubious" about the proposed EU-Turkey deal. "I am certainly very dubious on the other side of the coin about having a huge free travel zone. I think that is one of the problems, that we need to take back control of our borders," he said. Meanwhile, speaking to the BBC, Roland Rudd, treasurer of the pro-EU Britain Stronger In Europe campaign, claimed London mayor Boris Johnson - on the Leave side - had wanted Britain to stay in the EU, but changed his mind over the course of a weekend. Mr Johnson, one of a number of senior Conservatives to have broken ranks from Prime Minister David Cameron to back the Vote Leave campaign, declared his hand last month, after much speculation about which side he would join. Mr Rudd, who chairs the pro-EU Stronger In campaign, told BBC Radio 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics he was surprised at the mayor's decision. "Like a lot of people I had conversations with him, pretty recent, and it was absolutely clear he was for in," he told the BBC's Pienaar's Politics. There was not any shade of doubt at all, he said, and added: "He's clearly changed his mind over a weekend." Mr Johnson has denied his decision was anything to do with leadership ambitions, saying the UK would be better off outside the EU which "costs us a huge amount of money and subverts our democracy". The plan would have seen Elegance, in Granada Road, move to Albert Road and open between 21:00 and 04:00. More than 1,300 people signed petitions against the proposals and the city council received 63 objections. But 468 supportive representations were also received, one of which said lap-dancing clubs "tend to have the least amount of crime associated with them". It added: "It's a venue where mostly mature individuals have a chance to enjoy a good night out." At a Planning Committee meeting councillors voted seven to one against the application. City MP Flick Drummond and the Unison union's South East Regional Women's Committee both also opposed the plan. Objectors said it would be "wholly inappropriate" for the club to be near music venue the Wedgewood Rooms, and it would also cause women to fear for their safety late at night. In 2012 Portsmouth councillors voted not to ban lap-dancing clubs in the city, but said no more licences will be granted for similar venues. Applicant Paul Ojla also runs the lap-dancing club Wiggle in Surrey Street. Born to a single mother in 1944, she had been put in an orphanage at the age of three weeks. Her mother, from Armagh, never forgot her. She had gone on to marry and have other children and always intended coming back for her eldest daughter. But when the day came and Ann's mother arrived at the Nazareth House facility run by nuns in Belfast, Ann had disappeared. "I was there for five years," says the 68-year-old from her home in Perth. "In between times my mother would come and visit me regularly as did her future husband and when the time came to come and collect me when I was five years old she was told I was not there. "I had already been sent out to Australia without her consent and without her knowledge." Ann's mother was not told at the time that her daughter had been sent to Australia. It was several years before she discovered. Ann, meanwhile, had been sent to an orphanage in Western Australia, part of a government scheme to help populate the country after the war. Ann was one of 1,355 children from the UK, 112 of them from Northern Ireland, who were sent to Australia in the 1940s and 1950s. Most were sent out by religious orders, like the Sisters of Mercy and the Christian Brothers, who ran care homes. Some were orphans, but others were not and in many cases the children were told they had no living relatives to ensure they did not try to return. Last month, a team of experts that are running an inquiry into historical abuse in institutions in Northern Ireland went to Australia to take submissions from some of those who had been sent there. Philippa White works for an organisation called Tuart Place based in Freemantle that helps so-called 'child migrants' like Ann. She says: "From the sound of things there were some recruiting drives, there were quotas to fill and in some instances it sounds like a fairly aggressive process of finding children for migration." Ann remained in care in the orphanage until the age of 15 when she was sent to work on an outback farm. She was 17 before she was able to write to her family and 21 before she was allowed to visit. Cutting her off from her family left her feeling angry and bereft for the relationships she had been denied. "Especially around Christmas time, when I was working in a department store and I'd see families with the kids and the mums and grandmas. That used to upset me because I used to think, I had none of that," she said. "I started to get angry then when I had my own son, because I thought he'd missed out on aunties and uncles and cousins." Paddy Monaghan is 76. His family came from near Belleek in County Fermanagh, though it took him more than 70 years to discover that fact. Born outside of marriage he was given into the care of the nuns as a baby and was 10 when he was sent out to Australia. He said the regime there was harsh, physically and psychologically abusive. For years he tried to find his family but was told he didn't have any. "When I got married the first time I tried to find out about my relations but I was told that they'd all been killed during the Blitz in Ireland," he said. "They just said, 'they're all dead'. "Well what would you do if someone tells you your family is all dead, you say 'what's the point in looking?'" He kept trying to find them however, visiting Ireland several times in the 1990s, but without success. His mother died in 1999. Then a letter handed over by a nun in Sligo in 2009 unlocked the mystery of who he was and where he had come from. It had been written by his mother more than 70 years earlier, agreeing to give up any claim on her child. It led him to find an extended family of cousins in Ireland, England and Australia whom he now visits regularly. After a 47-year search, he said he has found an instant family. Both Ann and Paddy now have extensive contact with their families in Northern Ireland. Both have made submissions to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry. Ann says she is hoping for an apology from the religious orders in Ireland like the ones that have already been given by those in her country. And she says she would like to see a monument in Belfast docks to the children who were shipped to Australia. Media playback is not supported on this device The Jamaican, 29, lived up to his billing as the saviour of athletics as he held off the challenge of the two-time drug cheat to win in 9.79 seconds. Pre-race favourite Gatlin had to settle for silver in Beijing. "Coming back from injury I've had a lot of doubters, it's been tough," Bolt said after winning a ninth world title. He added: "For me to come to the championships and defend my title is a good feeling. "I definitely think this was my hardest race. I've been through a lot this season." Bolt, back at the scene of his first triple Olympic triumph in 2008, called his Munich-based doctor, Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt, "a lifesaver". He also insisted he did not feel the pressure to win for his sport, only to continue his own global domination. And that looked on course to end after the semi-finals when Gatlin clocked 9.77secs, while Bolt almost tripped out of the blocks and had to fight all the way to the line to snatch the win. Media playback is not supported on this device "After the semi-finals my coach [Glen Mills] said, 'You are thinking about it too much. There's too much on your mind, all you have to do is remember is that you've done this a million times so just go out there and relax'. That's what I did." There was a surreal moment before the final when "the world's fastest piano player" was brought out to play a tune for 9.58 seconds - Bolt's world record time. The Jamaican's reaction was a shrug of bemusement as he showed no sign of nerves on the start line. Instead, Gatlin was the one to feel the pressure. And the 33-year-old said he "gave away" victory. "I stumbled in the last five metres, my arms were a little flailing," he said. "You have to come out and run and over the last five metres. It wasn't my day. "Anyone who goes to the line to go against Usain has to be ready to go to work. In those five metres I let things get away from me. It cost me the race. "I leaned a little too far forward and I got a little off balance." Americans Trayvon Bromell and Canada's Andre de Grasse, who are both 20, shared bronze in 9.92secs. Meanwhile Gatlin will have an opportunity for revenge when he and Bolt go head to head over 200m, with the final taking place on Friday. BBC Sport commentator Steve Cram said Bolt "may have even saved his sport" with his victory over Gatlin. But British sprinter Adam Gemili told BBC Radio 5 live: "It was important but I don't think he saved athletics, it was just a battle of two sprinters and technically who's better. "Everyone was a bit biased towards Usain Bolt yesterday and the majority of us are glad he delivered. " The call came as she was making her first campaign visit to Scotland ahead of June's snap general election. In London, Labour's Jeremy Corbyn talked to young people, while the Lib Dem's Tim Farron said he wanted to become the leader of the UK opposition. In Glasgow, Nicola Sturgeon said the SNP "will not let the Tories drag Scotland backwards". The UK goes to the polls on 8 June for the general election, five weeks after local authority elections across Scotland, as well as in England and Wales. Mrs May told a gathering of supporters in Crathes, Aberdeenshire, that she wanted to build a more united nation by "standing up against the separatists who want to break up our country". Describing the election as the "most important" one in her lifetime, she said: "My message to the people of Scotland is clear - every vote for me and my team will strengthen my hand in the Brexit negotiations. "That will strengthen the Union, strengthen the economy and the UK and Scotland together will flourish, because if Scotland is flourishing the rest of the United Kingdom is flourishing too. "That's really important because as prime minister of the United Kingdom, I want to see every part of our country succeed." Meanwhile, First Minister Ms Sturgeon told party activists at a community education and employment centre in Glasgow that Scotland needed strong SNP MPs at Westminster to keep a check on the Tories. She set out examples of what she said was the SNP "delivering positive change". She said: "Here in the East End of Glasgow we don't need to be reminded of what happens when the Tories are in power at Westminster. "We've seen it over generations and now, even with a small majority, Tory cuts are doing real damage to communities like this one. Every Tory vote risks allowing them to impose deeper cuts, penalise the vulnerable and undermine the Scottish Parliament. "So in this general election, we have the chance to say loudly and clearly that Scotland will not let the Tories drag Scotland backwards." Scottish Labour has been campaigning in Edinburgh, while the Lib Dems have been out in Helensburgh and Kirkintilloch. Both parties restated their opposition to a second independence referendum. Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said it was Tory actions which had led to the issue appearing again. She said: "I think the fact that Theresa May has forced this hard Brexit upon us is exactly why we have the talk about a second independence referendum. "So I would say to people across the country, if they are opposed to independence and they want people to invest in their public services, the only thing to do is to vote Labour." Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie said next week's council elections and the general election were a "big opportunity to say no to independence and to elect a local champion for your community". He added: "Are they going to have a local champion who is going to stick up for them or are they going to get somebody who is going to cheerlead for independence? I think they want a local champion and that's why they'll vote for the Liberal Democrats." The 14th annual Pink List has been published by the Independent on Sunday. Meta magazine editor Lees was placed first, with Balding and human rights champion Tatchell coming joint second. It comes as singer Will Young says more should be done to end homophobic language among school pupils. The Independent received nominations from more than 1,300 of its readers with the paper whittling thousands of nominees down to 101. A panel of judges including activist, blogger and poet Christine Burns, Diva magazine publisher Kim Watson and Independent on Sunday staff then decided on the final list. Organisers said campaigners had been placed highly - following a year in which same-sex couples won the right to get married in England and Wales. Ruth Hunt, deputy head of gay rights charity Stonewall, who campaigned for the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, is in fifth place. The bill, which created political and religious divides, received Royal Assent on 17 July. Benjamin Cohen, Mike Buonaiuto and James J Walsh, the creators of the Out4Marriage media campaign which supported a change in the law, are placed at number seven in the list. They are followed by activist and Miss England entrant, Jackie Green, and the head of UK Black Pride, Phyllis Opoku-Gyimah. Last year's winner, London 2012 Olympic boxing champion Nicola Adams is in fourth place. Meanwhile, an international Pink List includes Puerto Rican boxer Orlando Cruz, US fashion designer Tom Ford, and Chelsea Manning (formerly Bradley Manning) - the US soldier convicted of giving classified documents to the website, Wikileaks. Independent on Sunday editor Lisa Markwell said: "The Pink List has evolved to become an authoritative celebration of influential lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people throughout the country. "Every year, it generates a huge amount of positive feedback and powerful stories of courage and bravery." Writing in the newspaper, Will Young said he had become aware of concern about language used by school pupils - including the use of the word "gay" as an insult - after attending an education conference organised by Stonewall. "Through the various seminars I attended I picked up one recurring theme: teachers and heads of schools were more than often not backed up by local authorities when it came to homophobic language," he said. Young added that he had taken up the issue with Education Secretary Michael Gove whose "reaction, I was pleased to say, was attentive and encouraging". "A UK exit from the EU would reverse the trend towards greater global trade and investment, and the jobs they create, and is a further serious risk to growth." (declaration of the 2016 G7 summit in Ishe-Shima, 27 May, Japan, via Reuters) "Growth has slowed, and is projected to be 1.75% in 2016. Uncertainty about the outcome of the end-June 2016 referendum has undermined growth. This projection assumes that the United Kingdom remains in the European Union, in which case growth is projected to pick up in the second half of 2016 and then stabilise in 2017." "The outcome of the referendum is a major risk for the economy. A vote for Brexit would heighten uncertainty, raise the cost of finance and hamper investment." (Twice-yearly UK economic outlook, 1 June) "While we respect the decision of the citizens of the United Kingdom, but a Europe without the United Kingdom would be weaker, just as the United Kingdom would be weaker outside the EU." (Open letter signed by the heads of several major European companies, including Royal Dutch Shell, BMW and ThyssenKrupp, 31 May, published in Bild) "It is us who today are responsible for confronting reality with all kinds of utopias -- a utopia of Europe without nation states, a utopia of Europe without conflicting interests and ambitions, a utopia of Europe imposing its own values on the external world. Obsessed with the idea of instant and total integration, we failed to notice that ordinary people, the citizens of Europe, do not share our Euro-enthusiasm. Disillusioned with the great visions of the future, they demand that we cope with the present reality better than we have been doing until now... Euroscepticism has become an alternative to those illusions." (speech to fellow conservatives from EU countries, 30 May, via Reuters) "I think there are good reasons for Britain to remain in the EU. I am only sure that if Britain decides to leave, that will initiate a negative dynamic in the rest of the EU." "The decision really lies in Britain. We can't have any influence on that and we shouldn't have any influence with fantasy proposals about the future of the European Union and 'what would happen if', and in particular 'what would happen if Britain leaves'. Those are all speculative discussions that could possibly have an undesirable influence on preparations for the British referendum."

(Interview with Bloomberg, 31 May) "We are side-by-side here to face the challenges of today, and above all the future of Europe, because as we know, disappointment has been followed by rancour, and doubt by suspicion, and for some rejection or even separation. The forces of division, of shutting yourself off, of withdrawal are at work again. They cultivate fear and instil hate. They denounce Europe as the source of evil, without realising that Europe was created out of the ravages of evil." (Closing speech at ceremony commemorating the 100th-year-anniversary of the Battle of Verdun, 30 May, via French business paper Capital) "It is not for us to say what the British people should be doing. Economically, it would be bad news, bad news for the United Kingdom, as well as the world, not just Europe.

(Interview with L'Avvenire, 28 May) "I hope that Remain will win, and all the reasonable economic and political analyses are reaching the conclusion that a victory for Leave would be a bad decision for the EU and a disastrous one for the United Kingdom. But we must remember that reasonable analyses are in danger of being insufficient unless they are accompanied by courageous leadership. It is not enough in Europe today just to be right, you also need the strength and the courage to represent an anti-establishment thrust." (Interview with La Stampa, 26 May) "I think it would be very bad news, for the UK, for the Netherlands, for Europe as a whole. It would be unavoidable for us, and I think for many of us in Europe, to follow the same proposals, to implement a points system also in the rest of the European Union. So you would get a race to the bottom. And that's exactly what you don't want. (speaking to the BBC on the Leave camp's proposal for a points-based system for EU migrants, 1 June) "I am very worried about it." (speaking to EU leaders as EU president, according to a report by De Telegraaf, 25 May) "Everyone's input is essential. The European bouquet is not complete without the Spanish carnation, the French fleur-de-lys, the Dutch and the Hungarian tulip. And not without the English rose." (speech to the European Parliament, 25 May) "It is in Hungary's interests for the United Kingdom to continue to be a member of the European Union. The Hungarian government, like British politicians, believes the EU is in need of fundamental reform. However, if one of the member states that is keenest on these reforms leaves, then obviously the position of those who would like to take the EU in the right direction is weakened compared with those whose efforts are ever more explicitly aimed at creating an increasingly centralised, bureaucratic and federal system." (speaking in London on 26 May at an event commemorating the murder of Thomas Becket, via the news website Orient Press, 26 May) "For the British, an exit is economically worse than for the rest of Europe. The City of London will lose its status, and many other advantages that are currently taken for granted will have to be renegotiated. I hope that economic sense will ultimately prevail. I see no problem for the financial system because the Brexit scenario has been discussed in the market for some time. Should it actually happen then for whom would this still be a surprise?"

Four charities and three individuals have lodged an appeal against the scheme, which is due to come into force in August. The plan is part of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. Ministers believe it will help protect children, but critics have said it will create a "nanny state". The scheme would allow the named person - usually a senior teacher - to provide advice, information or support where appropriate to promote, support or safeguard the wellbeing of youngsters under the age of 18. The court has been asked to decide whether the provision is compatible with fundamental common law rights and the European Convention on Human Rights. The case is being brought by three individuals and the Christian Institute, Family Education Trust, The Young ME Sufferers ("Tymes") Trust and Care (Christian Action Research & Education). In September of last year, the Court of Session dismissed the campaigners' arguments as "hyperbole". However, they are hoping to convince the Supreme Court that the act authorises "unjustified and unjustifiable state interference with family rights". Speaking ahead of an expected two-day hearing which started on Tuesday, Care's Dr Gordon Macdonald said: "The Scottish government's named person scheme is very dangerous and will undermine parents and their role as the best guardians of their children. "Simple logic dictates if you spread resources too thin, which this scheme will inevitably do, vulnerable children who are most in need of help may well be overlooked and put at risk. "We have brought this case to the UK Supreme Court because it has the power to overrule the Scottish government and also because we remain utterly convinced this scheme breaches international human rights laws and therefore needs to be scrapped or redrafted. "There is a growing sense of alarm in Scotland at the plans. If introduced, the state would be assuming too prominent a role in the raising of young people." But the scheme has received support from many leading children's charities and organisations such as the Scottish Secondary Teachers Association (SSTA). The union's Seamus Searson said: "A named person helps children and families get the right support at the right time from the right people. "It does not replace or change the role of parents and carers, or undermine families." Finley Thomas suffered "catastrophic" head injuries in the alleged "deliberate and vicious" attack by Sean Buckley, 28, at his Tonypandy home. Mother Chloe Thomas, 25, claimed he fell down the stairs. Mr Buckley denies murder at Cardiff Crown Court, while they both deny cruelty to a young person under 16. Roger Thomas QC showed the jury a garden chair which he said was responsible for causing significant injuries on the back of Finley's head. "Whether he was hit with it or it was propped against a surface or wall and he was struck against it we can't say," he said. "That's the chair that caused the damage." The jury was told the chair was found near the back door in the house. The patterning on it matched two distinct lines of patterned bruising on the back of Finley's head. Finley was born on 30 April 2013 and was last seen by a GP in July 2014 and until that time, no child protection issues had been identified. The couple got together that summer and the court heard she was "completely infatuated" with him. Mr Thomas said on 23 September 2014 she made a 999 call and told the operator her son had "banged his head" at her home and was "lying floppy". He added: "Sean Buckley was standing close by when the call was made. He was heard to say 'he fell from the top to the bottom of the stairs'. These were wicked and quite deliberate lies." Finley was first taken to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital before being transferred to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. A 10cm by 10cm (3.9in by 3.9in) swelling was later found on the back of the child's head as well as bruising on one of his ears. A number of those injuries were described as being caused in the weeks before he died. Doctors were told by both defendants they had not seen the fall, but that Finley had "fallen down the stairs before". The jury was told Finley had bumps and marks on his body which "should not be found on any child" and that no proper explanation was given. The trial continues. Harry Kusz, 36, was convicted of taking the seven-year-old girl and detaining her against her will at Dean Castle Country Park, Kilmarnock, in April. He was also convicted of breach of the peace and taking three boys, two aged 10 and one aged seven, into woods there and placing them in fear and alarm. At Kilmarnock Sheriff Court, Kusz was jailed for 18 months. Sheriff Elizabeth McFarlane also ordered that his name be registered as a potential danger to children. The trial heard that the seven-year-old girl's mother became frantic after realising she was no longer playing outside their house. After searching the streets and phoning her father, a neighbour told her: "Harry's got her." The 28-year-old woman had no idea who this was but later saw her child running towards her "looking in shock". She told the court: "I asked her where she'd been and at that point she just started crying." The woman said she challenged Kusz and asked him: "What were you doing with my wean? Why were you taking my wean?" She added: "He came up to me and his face completely changed. I've never seen anyone look so angry." Kusz had accepted being at the scene where the incidents took place with his two dogs but denied all the allegations. Following his conviction it emerged that he was cleared in 2006 of raping three girls in Ross-shire between 2004 and 2005. He was found not guilty of one charge and the other two allegations were not proven. Six other charges, including having sex with an underage girl and lewd and libidinous behaviour, were also found not proven. The rapes were said to have taken place in various rural settings in Wester Ross between 2004 and 2005. Party leader Mr Clegg urged Lib Dem members to "hold your nerve", saying "with power comes protest". Thousands of students and trade unionists are expected to stage a protest outside the conference later. And some Lib Dems are expected to turn their fire on the deputy PM over the planned shake-up of the NHS. In an emergency motion, former MP Evan Harris, a member of the party's influential federal policy committee, will call on Lib Dem ministers to resist the coalition's plan to give 80% of the NHS budget for commissioning services in England to GPs. The motion says the government's aspirations for health "can be achieved without the damaging and unjustified market-based approach that is proposed". It says the changes have never been Lib Dem policy and were not in the coalition document agreed with the Conservatives when forming a government last May. Mr Clegg has attempted to play down potential conflict with the party membership over the NHS, saying it was not going to be "the gunfight at the OK coral" and there was common ground. But if the party conference backs the motion in a vote on Saturday morning, he will be expected to reflect their concerns at Westminster. There is anger on the left of the party about what it sees as the handing over of key NHS assets to private firms. The motion calls for the "complete ruling out of any competition based on price to prevent loss-leading corporate providers under-cutting NHS tariffs". Lib Dem activists may have to run the gauntlet of anti-government protesters on Saturday. On Friday, several hundred people gathered outside Sheffield City Hall, which is surrounded by a £2m "ring of steel" and a heavy police presence, to chant anti-Lib Dem slogans. Thousands are expected to take part in demonstrations against the Lib Dems on Saturday. In a curtain-raising speech at Sheffield City Hall, Mr Clegg acknowledged it was "difficult" for the party to be the focus of protests, because "some of our proudest moments have come on marches". He said: "We've put down our placards and taken up the reins of power. It's a big change but it's worth it. "You can't do everything when you are in power, but you can't do anything when you are not. With power comes protest. We need to get used to it." Party chairman Tim Farron also rallied the troops with a speech packed with jokes - some at the expense of the party's coalition partners the Conservatives. Hitting back at jibes that the Lib Dems have become Conservatives since forming the coalition, he told activists: "I share a bed with my wife - it does not make me a woman." The party is using its weekend in Sheffield to assert its independence from the Conservatives, amid fears it is losing its identity. Both Mr Farron and Mr Clegg attacked Labour for what the two men claimed was their opportunistic approach to opposition. Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, for Labour, said he could not work with Mr Clegg in a coalition - echoing the words of Labour leader Ed Miliband during the party leadership contest last year. In an interview with The Guardian, Mr Balls called Mr Clegg "an increasingly desperate, shrill and discredited politician" and says it would be impossible for Labour to work with Mr Clegg - "but that is not true of Liberal Democrats more widely". The move brings Islamophobia in line with anti-Semitic attacks targeting Jewish people, which have been recorded separately for some time. It comes ahead of the publication of yearly hate crime statistics, which are expected to show further rises. The Metropolitan Police already records Islamophobic crime. The government said creating a separate category across the board would "enable police, prosecutors, councils and the communities they serve to have a better understanding of the prevalence of anti-Muslim hate crime and allocate resources accordingly". "It will provide the first accurate picture of the extent of anti-Muslim hate crime in England and Wales," Downing Street said. At the first meeting of a new community engagement forum later on Tuesday, Mr Cameron will also announce new funding for the security of all faith establishments, including mosques. The forum, which was announced in July, will discuss the objectives of the government's upcoming counter-extremism strategy, which is due for publication later this month. Speaking ahead of the meeting, Mr Cameron said: "We all have a role to play in confronting extremism. That's why I have invited important Muslim and non-Muslim figures to join the new community engagement forum so I can hear directly about their work in our communities, the challenges they face and so that they can be part of our one nation strategy to defeat it. "I want to build a national coalition to challenge and speak out against extremists and the poison they peddle. I want British Muslims to know we will back them to stand against those who spread hate and to counter the narrative which says Muslims do not feel British. "And I want police to take more action against those who persecute others simply because of their religion." Home Secretary Theresa May said hate crime had "no place in Britain". "Working with police to provide a breakdown in religious-based hate crime data will help forces to build community trust, target their resources and enable the public to hold them to account," she added. Police recorded 44,480 hate crimes in England and Wales during 2013-14. That was up 5% on the previous year across race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and transgender - the five key measures that feature in national figures. But a further breakdown indicates there was a 45% jump in religiously motivated incidents to 2,273 - which an official report at the time said was partly down to more anti-Muslim incidents following the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby by Islamic extremists in south-east London in May 2013. Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards said North was handed "a warning" for his defending in the defeat by Scotland. However, Schmidt has made clear he is an admirer of North's abilities. "If you've seen the size, the strength, the speed and the agility of such a big man, why would you go looking for George North?" said Schmidt. "I know it doesn't leave you a lot of options, because Jonathan Davies and Scott Williams are no shrinking violets either, and Liam Williams was an absolute superstar against New Zealand. "They do have a lot of threats across the board and I don't think we're wilfully going to go looking for George North to see if his defensive game is up to it because we've seen him do incredibly well defensively." Schmidt added that he was surprised by the extent of the criticism directed at the Northampton wing following the 29-13 defeat at Murrayfield. "I didn't think it was a shocking day by any means, there's been a fairly tough reaction to such a good player. I think he will have a big one [game] this time, unfortunately. "I'm sure he's highly motivated to have a really good game, as are the rest of the Welsh XV." Schmidt hinted that the Ireland management are likely to ask for the Principality Stadium roof to remain open if the weather is dry on Friday. The visitors will have the final say over the issue. "There is no decision as yet. We're just waiting for a formal request [from Wales] to make a decision. The later that request comes the better accuracy there is in terms of the weather forecast. "If it's fine [weather] there wouldn't seem too much point in closing the stadium. The surface can get slippery when the roof is closed. "We'll make a decision probably when we're over there and we'll get more clarity from there." The boys, aged nine or 10, were seen kicking the pet in Penllergaer, Swansea, on 12 April at about 12:00 BST. The black and white cat was found screaming in pain by a driver who saw the incident near the green. It was taken to a vet and will need an operation on its leg but was not micro-chipped so the owners are untraceable. Neither boy has been caught but one of them had brown hair and was wearing a red hoodie. Anyone with information is asked to call the RSPCA 0300 123 8018. John Bermingham is also accused of assault causing injury and breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order. The incident is alleged to have happened in Glenburn Road, Hallglen, Falkirk, on Friday. Mr Bermingham, who is 50 and from Falkirk, made no plea or declaration at the petition hearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court. Procurator fiscal depute Michael Maguire opposed bail and Sheriff Derek Livingston committed Mr Bermingham for further examination and remanded him in custody. A spokesman for the Crown Office said it was anticipated Mr Bermingham would appear in court again within eight days. Dave Sykes, from Dewsbury, has landed at Truscott on Australia's north west coast 103 days after leaving Yorkshire. Mr Sykes, who broke his back in a motorbike accident in 1993, is thought to be the first paraplegic to fly from England to Australia in a microlight. Mr Sykes, 43, used the 12,000 mile journey to help raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Speaking to ABC News in Darwin, Mr Sykes said it had not been an easy journey. "It's been really difficult at times with the bad weather, permissions holding me up and things going wrong with the aircraft," he said. In November 1993, a motorbike accident left Mr Sykes with a broken back, clavicle and thigh bone, together with broken ribs and punctured lungs. However, he was released from hospital in May 1994 after doctors had said he would remain there for at least two years. Mr Sykes took up microlighting in 2000 and gained his pilot's licence in 2001. He said: "I started flying 10 years ago and saw a video of a guy who flew around the world. "I've always wanted to do something similar so I decided on Australia because I couldn't afford to fly around the world." Mr Sykes now plans to fly to Sydney in his microlight. Three meat processing plants have also been closed and another 21 are under scrutiny. Much of the meat produced by the companies accused is exported to Europe and other parts of the world. Brazil is the world's largest red meat exporter. Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi will meet foreign ambassadors on Monday to reassure them and try to prevent sanctions being issued against Brazilian meat exporters. Operation Weak Flesh was launched in the early hours of Friday in six Brazilian states after a two-year investigation. Federal police carried out raids in 194 locations, deploying more than 1,000 officers. The investigators allege that some managers bribed health inspectors and politicians to get government certificates for their products. They accuse more than 30 companies of a number of unhygienic practices. Among them are JBS, the world's largest beef exporter, and BRF, the world's top poultry producer. Brazilian federal police said they have evidence of at least 40 incidents. "They used acid and other chemicals to mask the aspect of the product. In some cases, the products used were carcinogenic," the police said. In other cases, potato, water and even cardboard paper was mixed with chicken meat to increase profits. JBS said in a statement that it had followed rigorous quality standards and sanitary regulations. It confirmed the raids, but said none of its top executives had been targeted. BRF said it was co-operating with the investigation. The company also denied breaching regulations. Prosecutors say a percentage of the bribe money was paid to two parties from the governing coalition: PP and President Michel Temer's PMDB. Shares of JBS and BRF have fallen by 10% and 8% respectively in the Sao Paulo stock exchange following the announcement. JBS has a net revenue of $55bn (£44bn). It exports to some 150 countries. Welham, 28, spent nine seasons at Hull KR and scored a try on his international debut for the England Knights against Cumbria. He scored 13 tries in 30 appearances for Hull this year, taking his overall record to 102 tries in 191 games. He said: "If I can help get Bradford back into the Super League, that's part of the job I'll bring to the club." "Bradford is a great club with plenty of history and they need to be back in the Super League," Welham added. "I'll bring experience to the squad, which always helps if we come up against Super League opposition." Luckily for him, Google has said it won't make him pay the bill as he had misunderstood what he was signing up to. But not everyone is so lucky and even big businesses can make mistakes that can prove costly. Over the years there have been numerous examples of errors and bad decisions.... Facebook recently had to make an embarrassing admission that it had grossly overestimated how much video people have watched on the site for the last two years. One advertiser suggested that, in some cases, video viewing statistics had been overestimated by up to 80%. Facebook's analytics are an important tool for advertisers, who use them to work out how much of their video content is being watched. The error affected a Facebook metric called "average duration of video viewed", which was supposed to tell publishers for how long, on average, people had watched a video. However, the metric did not include viewers who had watched for less than three seconds in the count. Discounting the shorter views - including people who had ignored a video in their news feed - inflated the average viewing times for each video. The admission from the social networking giant drew criticism, though Facebook said the error had not changed how much advertisers paid the site. From a huge overestimation to a terrifying under-appreciation for the popularity of a tech development. Digital cameras. We all take the powerful cameras on our phones for granted, but in the 1970s this was all unheard of, film cameras were king. Then in 1973 Kodak hired a young engineer called Steven Sasson. He went on to invent the process that allows us to take digital photos with our phones and send them around the world in seconds. Kodak patented the first digital camera in 1978. But it did not develop the idea, fearing the effect it would have on its film sales. Mr Sasson told the New York Times that Kodak bosses were "convinced" no-one would ever want to view their photos on a television set. Oops. Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012. E-commerce has caused a multitude of pricing glitches over the years, from virtual shopping baskets failing to update to whole websites crashing, the frustrations are endless. But one huge malfunction that will take some beating is Alitalia Airline's 2006 slip-up. The Italian airline advertised business-class flights from Toronto to Cyprus for $39 instead of $3,900. Unsurprisingly, 2,000 tickets were quickly snapped up. The company attempted to cancel the purchases, but eventually honoured the tickets, losing $7.7m in the process. Today streaming a movie or TV programme via the internet is commonplace. But the days when movie rental shops were dominant are not all that long gone. In between there were a few uncomfortable years when we didn't know which method of movie distribution would be the future. In 2000, streaming giant Netflix proposed that it would handle video rental operation Blockbuster's online component for it, if Blockbuster would in return host its in-store component. (There was a time when it was popular to rent physical DVDs from Netflix). Blockbuster declined this and other potential deals with Netflix, and eventually went out of business as the market shifted and it became clear that online was the way forward. Another missed opportunity extravaganza happened in 1999 when Excite was the number two search engine on the internet. Google was not, as you might expect, number one - it was in fact a newcomer to the scene. Google's co-founder Larry Page offered to sell the company to Excite for less than $1m. They said no. Today, Google's parent company Alphabet is worth $543bn. Schoolchildren can be forgiven for making mistakes when tackling decimals and fractions, but when adults make basic numerical errors, there is less inclination to be lenient. In 1999, Nasa lost a $125m (£98m) Mars orbiter craft in space when engineers at aerospace company Lockheed Martin used British imperial measurements while the Nasa team used metric ones. The mistake caused the rocket thrusters used to put the probe into orbit around the planet to be fired incorrectly and it is likely the spacecraft broke up in the inhospitable atmosphere surrounding Mars. 4 January 2016 Last updated at 16:15 GMT Forty-three per cent of Labour's MPs are female, but the party leader, deputy leader, chair and London mayoral candidates are all male. Harriet Harman was speaking to former Labour adviser Ayesha Hazarika as part of a report for BBC Newsnight. Jeremy Corbyn is believed to have started talks with shadow cabinet members as part of a reshuffle. Read more here Nine-week-old lamb Bella, which had been adopted by a Nottinghamshire family, is now believed to have been taken along with year-old border collie Blake. Blake was found a week ago by a farmer not far from his home. Police said the lamb was only recently reported stolen. PC Jeanette Straw of Nottinghamshire Police said they were following up a number of leads, but asked anyone with information to contact police. She said the pets had escaped when a gate at the property was "presumably left open" but were later seen by a witness being put into a car. Paula Strudley of FindUKDogs, which searches for lost pets, is coordinating a Facebook page set up to find Bella and is convinced is still alive. "A farmer from Lincolnshire was out with her children to get an ice cream when she saw the dog," she said. "She found Blake, who was running around loose, and returned him to the family, but there is still no sign of Bella," she said. "#FindUKdogs have some leads and have shared them with the police - but we are not able to reveal names or addresses as don't want them to hide the lamb." Bella's owner Natalie Haywood said that the two pets were "the best of friends, she follows him around everywhere". Farmers in the area are being urged to look for any lambs that do not belong to them and the general public is asked to take a photograph of any lamb they think might be Bella. The dog and lamb went missing from a back garden in Perlthorpe near Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire on 8 May. The League One side have been under the caretaker charge of Grant McCann since Dave Robertson's sacking on Sunday. Ex-Northern Ireland international McCann has not revealed whether he is interested in the permanent job. Meanwhile, Rotherham boss Steve Evans - the bookies' favourite - missed his usual Thursday media conference because of an internal meeting. McCann would not be drawn on if he wanted to job on a full-time basis, telling BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "All I'm doing is focusing on the job at hand and that's the game at Oldham. "I don't take much noticed of what's going on in terms of the bookies or a manager shortlist." Humza Yousaf said passengers "deserve better" train services, but insisted that "improvements are being made". There has been criticism of train services since Dutch firm Abellio took over the ScotRail franchise in 2015. Managing director Phil Verster said he was "determined" to "deliver a railway of which Scotland can be proud". The Scottish government has come under pressure from opposition parties about the level of services and details of the improvement plan, which has now been published. It includes measures to improve punctuality and reliability through a series of local and nationwide programmes, from infrastructure developments to "performance workshops" for managers and staff about running services on time. Mr Yousaf, who visited Waverley Station before speaking at a rail conference in Edinburgh, said there was an "improving picture" in terms of performance. He said he was "delighted" that the improvement plan was being published, hoping for "immediate improvement in the performance from ScotRail". He said: "I understand passenger frustration. The standards that they expect are not being met and the standards that I expect ScotRail to meet are not being met either. So, I understand their frustration but improvements are being made here and now. "Improvements are being made, I want to continue to see them made, bearing in mind that there will be disruption. "I can't as transport minister promise that there will never be disruption because of train failure or track failure or weather disruptions, but we're doing what we can to improve the situation because passengers and commuters certainly deserve better than the standards they're experiencing just now." Opposition parties have repeatedly questioned the government over the level of services, with Labour saying the "clock is ticking" for Mr Yousaf. Transport spokesman Neil Bibby said the publication of the plan was "two months late", adding that "in that time the full scale of the SNP's mismanagement of the railways has been exposed". He said: "This January, rail fares across Scotland are due to rise once again and the service passengers have been receiving hasn't been good enough. After weeks of misery on Scotland's railways, passengers deserve a break. That's why we're calling for a fare freeze in 2017." Tory finance spokesman Murdo Fraser said: "It's quite clear that the fleet of trains we have right now are struggling to cope with the demands of thousands of passengers and that delays, cancellations and disruption will continue to be a regular feature of our railways until they are overhauled. "Ultimately it is the responsibility of the SNP government as the client to ensure that we have a rail system fit for purpose. We need to know what sanctions will be applied if the 249 action points in this document are not met." Mr Yousaf has apologised to passengers and suggested services could be taken into the public sector in future, warning Abiello that the franchise contract could be reviewed. The plan was published on the same day as improvements to train infrastructure were unveiled in Edinburgh, in the form of new couplers which allow trains to be linked and separated more quickly. Phil Verster, ScotRail Alliance's managing director, said the latest investment was "another milestone achievement in our overall train improvement programme", which "sees £475m spent on refurbishments and new trains for Scotland's railway". He added: "We are going through the biggest improvement in our railway since the Victorian era and this investment in our rolling stock is another significant signal of our determination to deliver a railway of which Scotland can be proud."

The accused are Michael Patrick Nolan, of Gortnamona Way, Belfast, and Henry Christopher Marley, from Edward Street, Portadown, County Armagh. They are charged with trying to rob Donemana credit union and assaulting two women who were working there. Mr Nolan is also charged with attacking two women in a burglary in Derry. The defendants appeared at a special sitting of Londonderry Magistrates' Court on Saturday, Including the alleged offences at the credit union, Mr Nolan faces a total of 15 charges. Other charges against the 37-year-old include the assault of two women at Woodside Heights in Derry on Thursday, burglary, stealing a car, dangerous driving and failing to stop for police. Mr Marley, 32, is also charged with burglary of the house at Woodside Heights, causing criminal damage to a woman's car and stealing a handbag and car keys. Neither man applied for bail and both were remanded in custody to appear via video link again next Thursday.

Two men have been charged in connection with a burglary in Londonderry and an attempted robbery in County Tyrone in which four women were injured.

Better sales in Japan and China helped it to report a 1.3% rise in sales to $1.23bn between November and January. It has struggled with sales in its home US market, particularly among the younger generation. Sales at its New York store, close to Trump Towers, were hit by the extra security, which disrupted access. The company said it saw customer traffic dip by about 14% in November and December. The flagship store accounts for a significant part of the group's sales, sometimes up to 10%. But it is thought that should improve now that President Donald Trump has moved to Washington, although Melania Trump and son Barron Trump still live there. Neil Saunders, managing director at Managing Director of GlobalData Retail says the company's troubles range more widely than the flagship stores and lower tourist spend. "Tiffany is a brand that is increasingly overlooked by American consumers, especially younger demographics, who see it is as old-world luxury. "Just as was the case at the start of the year, Tiffany is still failing to connect with many shoppers segments and continues to lose ground to rivals," he says, adding that Europe was also a problem region for the company. Christmas has also become less important for jewellery buying, a key driver for Tiffany sales, a "distinctly unhelpful" trend, Mr Saunders says. "While it remains the most important single period for purchasing, it accounts for a much smaller share of annual sales than it once did," he says. The company's newly-installed interim chief executive, Michael Kowalski, remains positive: "Despite macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges in the past year that we believe will continue in 2017, we strongly believe that Tiffany's strategies are sound and that we have meaningful growth opportunities," he said in a statement accompanying the results. Net profit fell to $446m million in the quarter, compared with $464m the previous year. Looking ahead, Mr Saunders believes the new management team need to bring about a "fundamental" change in products and approach to selling. He says the Superbowl advertising which highlighted Lady Gaga as the face of the brand was a good start in bringing a more contemporary feel to the firm. But he says the company also needs to update the stores and get away from the wood lined walls and thick carpets that give the shops an old fashioned feel. Hacking tools allegedly developed by the US National Security Agency (NSA) were dumped online by a group calling itself Shadow Brokers. It follows a string of recent leaks of data from the Democratic National Committee (DNC). There are also now suspicions that the Clinton Foundation, a charitable body, may have been targeted. Is this part of a Russian campaign to damage the US and even influence the presidential election in November, or are things a little more complicated than that? Analysis of the files released by Shadow Brokers has revealed a group of malware that can be used to hack US-made firewalls and routers. Indeed, the tech firms Cisco and Fortinet have warned customers that there are some serious exploits in the dump that affect their products. Juniper Networks has also said it is reviewing the data to see if its devices are affected. There are fears that some of the exploits were "zero-day" vulnerabilities, meaning they had gone undetected. The hacking tools are believed to belong to a group of malware developed by "The Equation Group", which was first revealed by cybersecurity firm Kaspersky in 2015. "On the basis of what we've looked at, we certainly believe that there's a connection to the Equation Group malware," said David Emm, Kaspersky's principal security researcher, told the BBC. "I've thought from the very beginning that it was real," added Mikko Hypponen at security company F-Secure. "The sheer amount of data would be very hard to fake." For Mr Hypponen and many others, this is "the real mystery". No-one really knows how this information was acquired, though there has been speculation that a server operated by the NSA may have been hacked. Another theory, put forward by former NSA employee David Aitel, is that an insider decided to steal the data. Whether the same insider then went on to leak it is yet another unanswered question. In June, it was reported that a hacker going by the moniker of "Guccifer 2.0" had released a cache of DNC members' emails. The resulting fallout led to the resignation of DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Then, earlier this month, Guccifer published another wave of allegedly hacked data, including the personal contact details of nearly 200 current and former members of Congress from the Democratic Party. Russia has been accused by US officials of being involved in the DNC leaks; an accusation that Russia has vehemently denied. Either way, President Obama has already said that Russian involvement would not have a significant impact on his diplomatic relationship with the Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite Obama's public comments that his relationship with Putin would not be strained, the hacks come at a particularly sensitive time. With an election in November, some have speculated that the leaks are an attempt to somehow influence the result of the vote. "I think it's more likely that if this is indeed the Russian state, then what they want to do is simply cast doubts on the validity of the electoral process," said Nigel Inkster at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. Conversely, in February Mr Putin warned that "foes abroad" might try to influence Russia's September elections. It is worth remembering that, in July, Russia announced that about 20 Russian government organisations had been targeted by spyware, though it stopped short of attributing the infiltration to any specific state or actor. Cyberspying is an inherently murky world. The nature of cyberspace makes it easy to hide your tracks and obscure your identity. And there is a difference between traditional espionage - stealing information secretly - and releasing information publicly - something more akin to information warfare. Stealing information is age-old but so is the release of information to undermine your opponent. During the Cold War, the USA and USSR both engaged in what were often called "influence operations" or "political warfare" - spreading information or disinformation or propaganda about individuals or political parties or ideas. Cyberspace only offers a new way of doing this. So is there some kind of cyber-information battle going on between Washington and Moscow now? Perhaps. But, if so, it may be hard to prove and both sides may be happy - as in the past - for this to be fought without the information war ever being formally acknowledged. The US President has not yet made a public statement promising retribution for the apparent hack of an American intelligence agency. And some believe he can't. Mr Obama recently clarified how the United States would respond to a cyber attack, Mr Inkster noted. "These set out criteria for determining how serious an incident is and, by extension, what retaliatory measures would be justified," he told the BBC. "So to say this is an incident of a certain level of importance and we're confident the Russian state did it - that puts the United States in a position of, 'Well, what are you going to do about it?'" According to Mr Hypponen, the exploits released in the dump of hacking tools are not likely to implicate members of the public. "There's a bit of an impact to companies using routers and firewalls," he noted, but end users would probably not have to take any action. Hockney is being directed by Randall Wright, who made the acclaimed film Lucian Freud: A Painted Life. The documentary will be shown in cinemas in November before being screened on BBC Two in 2015. Controller of BBC Two, Kim Shillinglaw, said the film "will be a riveting and inspiring watch". "David Hockney stands as one of Britain's seminal and most important artists, and I'm delighted to be showing this major film on him on BBC Two." With access to his personal archive of photographs and films, the documentary will aim to be a "frank and unparalleled visual diary of his long life". Mark Bell, head of arts commissioning for the BBC, called it an "unprecedented" portrait, "with unique access to his work, his archive and reminiscence from the people who know him best". Randall, who won a Royal Television Society award for his Lucian Freud film, met David Hockney while directing the award-winning series Shock of the Old. The suspects - two aged 16 and one 17 - appeared before magistrates in Birmingham on Saturday. They cannot be named for legal reasons. The victim, aged 15, suffered several stab wounds to his neck and upper body in the grounds of the school in Erdington, Birmingham, on Thursday. He remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital. The 22-year-old is up for best British male, breakthrough artist and best album, for In The Lonely Hour. He is closely followed by guitar-toting singer-songwriters Ed Sheeran and George Ezra, who each receive four nominations, and rock duo Royal Blood, who have three. This year's ceremony takes place in London's O2 arena on 25 February. See the full list of nominations. Smith, who won the BBC's Sound of 2014, was the only artist to sell more than a million albums in both the UK and US last year. He will go up against Sheeran, Ezra, Damon Albarn and Paolo Nutini in the best British male category. It is Albarn's first solo nomination - 20 years after Blur swept the board and won four Brit awards in 1995. Smith's tally of five nominations - which also includes best British single and video of the year for Stay With Me - has only been bettered by Robbie Williams and Craig David who got six apiece in 1999 and 2001. But Smith will be wary of emulating the latter - who left the ceremony empty-handed. The coveted best British album category will be fought between Smith, Sheeran's X, Ezra's Wanted On Voyage, Alt-J's This Is All Yousrs and Royal Blood's self-titled record. But pop group Clean Bandit, whose dance anthem Rather Be is up for best single, said the dominance of "white boys" in the main categories was "a bit weird and a problem". "It's bizarre," Neil Amin-Smith told BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat, suggesting black artists like MNEK, Labrinth and Kwabs had been overlooked. "The Oscars [nominees] were announced today and it was all white men doing everything. "I think there is something that needs talking about there." Jessie Ware, FKA Twigs and Clean Bandit, who played at a London ceremony announcing the nominations, all walked away with nominations; whilst fellow performer James Bay has already won the Critics' Choice award for emerging artists. Ware, who released her second album Tough Love last year, is up for best British female. "It's really reassuring as an artist, you feel like maybe you're doing something right," she told the BBC News website. "Like a big old hug." Ware will compete against X Factor alumni Ella Henderson, FKA Twigs, Lily Allen and Paloma Faith. Taylor Swift, whose fifth album, 1989, marked the completion of her shift from country music to pop, was among the nominees in the best international female category alongside Beyonce, Lana Del Rey, Sia and St Vincent. Up-and-coming singer Jess Glynne is also up for three awards, thanks to her guest appearances on other people's records. The 25-year-old is the voice behind Clean Bandit's string-laden dance track Rather Be, which is up for best single; and Route 94's My Love, nominated for best single and best video. Mark Savage, entertainment reporter, BBC News Sam Smith's heartbroken torch ballads have struck a chord around the world, making his dominance at the Brits all but inevitable. His five nominations come close to matching the six he's received at the Grammys. By the end of February, he's going to need a bulk order of Mr Sheen. Smith began his career as a featured artist on hits like Latch, by dance act Disclosure, and others have taken note of his path to fame. Newcomer Jess Glynne received three nominations for singing on other people's singles - but she said she'd insist on taking home a Tracey Emin-designed trophy if any of them won. . "I'll make sure I get one," she told me. "There's a reason my name's on there. You wouldn't have the song if there was no vocal." But in a year where the best album category is entirely male, it's interesting to note that the artists making the most experimental, cutting-edge music - FKA Twigs, Sia, Beyonce, St Vincent - were all female. This year's ceremony will be hosted by I'm A Celebrity... stars Ant and Dec, who replace James Corden after three years in the role. Swift, Sheeran, Smith and Faith are all set to perform, and winners will receive trophies designed by artist Tracey Emin. Last year, David Bowie was named best British male, sending Kate Moss to collect his award, while Arctic Monkeys won both best group and best album for the third time. Ellie Goulding won best British female, while pop act One Direction were honoured for their global success for the second year running. Prof Thomas Weber's book Hitler's First War, which was released in 2010, claimed his image as a brave soldier was a myth. The producers of the Oscar-nominated film Downfall - also about the Nazi leader - will make the show after a French TV network purchased the series. The show will be called Hitler. Production of the 10-hour series begins next year. Prof Weber said: "It is a privilege to see my book and the research behind it dramatised in this way for a large TV audience. "Over the years a great deal has been written about Hitler but so little of this focused on his life in the years of the First World War. "Hitler's First War uncovered many myths in regard to his service and motivations following the conflict. More importantly it demonstrated how Hitler's lies about his war years became political tools in his hands for the rest of his life. "The series is a great opportunity to demask Hitler." The group will enter the Breakthrough Message contest, which offers a $1m prize for creating a digital missive that represents human civilisation. That prize accompanies a new effort to accelerate the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (Seti). Experts have argued for decades about the wisdom of broadcasting into space. Listening out for aliens is one thing, but trying to contact them raises myriad concerns about what happens when civilisations collide. The diversity of views was obvious at a conference of the UK Seti Research Network (UKSRN) in Leeds, where the group's 20 members were split down the middle in an informal vote. "We did a show of hands and we were perfectly evenly split," said Dr Anders Sandberg, speaking to journalists at the British Science Festival in Bradford. Dr Sandberg, a philosopher from the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford, found himself voting twice. "I'm a typical philosophy department guy. I raised my hand in both cases and they were all laughing at me." But the group settled firmly in favour of composing a message, even if it might never leave the planet. "What we could agree on was that it was worthwhile and important to try to devise that message, so that we can reach the best possible version," Dr Sandberg said. He and three other UKSRN members have formed a working group to "thrash out the basics" of how their message might be composed and what it might contain. For example, they might draft two suggestions: one using pictures, and one using more abstract content such as language or mathematics. Other than its $1m (£0.65m) spoils, the details of the Breakthrough Message prize, funded by tech billionaire Yuri Milner, are yet to be announced. But the competition is open to anyone. "There's a fair chance that we'll get beaten by a schoolgirl somewhere, and in that case more power to her!" Dr Sandberg said. If the British team's bid is successful, Dr Sandberg said they would plough the prize money back into Seti research, which has historically struggled for funding and credibility in the UK. "We would use it to build up a slightly bigger Seti research community in the UK, because this has never really been funded. The giggle factor is pretty high." Whoever wins the prize, Breakthrough Initiatives have pledged not to transmit the message until a "wide-ranging debate" about the risks and rewards has taken place. "It seems a bit silly in a sense, this prize for a message that they promise not to send," Dr Sandberg said. "But on the other hand, from a scientific perspective, it's a really interesting question: how do you construct a message that an alien intelligence could receive?" Dr Jill Stuart, who studies space law and policy at the London School of Economics, is not a member of the UKSRN but welcomed the group's decision to draft an interstellar introduction. She strongly supports the notion of announcing humanity's presence in the cosmos. "I'm very explicitly in favour," Dr Stuart said, "not only because I think it's worth trying to contact them, but because of what I think it makes us do - reflecting back on ourselves, building a potential regime for how we could communicate, and so on." But many researchers are much more wary about hitting "send", for various reasons - and these are arguments Dr Sandberg has heard many times. "The most naive one would be that aliens will come and eat us or invade us," he said. "That is probably not very likely. But a more sophisticated version is that we have seen what happens when more advanced civilisations encounter less advanced ones." On the other hand, we might learn something important. "We have a lot of these uncertainties, but we also know that our own civilisation is in a fair bit of trouble. We face some pretty big threats. "That means it might be a good idea to gamble, and hope there is someone slightly older and wiser out there. If aliens told us something about how to handle our climate, or artificial intelligence, we might want to listen." Follow Jonathan on Twitter The data was sold to several companies, including one warned over misleading advertising and another facing an investigation into a lottery it ran. Pharmacy2U had made a "serious error of judgement" in selling the data, the information commissioner said. The pharmacy said the sales had been a "regrettable incident", for which it apologised. The names and addresses of more than 20,000 Pharmacy2U customers had been sold via a marketing company, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said in a statement. Pharmacy2U, the UK's largest NHS-approved online pharmacy, had advertised - at £130 per 1,000 customers - its database of 100,000 patients with many different medical conditions including asthma, erectile dysfunction and Parkinson's disease, sorted by age and gender. ICO deputy commissioner David Smith said it was likely some customers had suffered financially - one buyer of the data deliberately targeted elderly and vulnerable people. And Pharmacy2U had breached data protection rules by not seeking the customers' consent. Mr Smith said: "Patient confidentiality is drummed into pharmacists. "It is inconceivable that a business in this sector could believe these actions were acceptable. "Once people's personal information has been sold on once in this way, we often see it then gets sold on again and again." In a statement, Pharmacy2U issued a "sincere apology" and said it would no longer sell information about its customers. It said it had taken steps to find out if the organisations buying the data had been reputable and, at the time of the sale, there had been no reason to believe any of them had been "suspected of any wrongdoing". It said it had "learned from this incident" and would "continue to do all we can to ensure that their data is protected to the highest level". They seemed friendly, they were keen to make conversation, and they could do a few quite clever things. But I came away from the Innorobo exhibition in Paris with few fears about the prospect of an imminent robot takeover. Perhaps that is because, as we discuss in today's edition of Tech Tent, the robotics industry is now anxious to improve the image of its products. All the talk in Paris was of cobots, or collaborative robots. Until now, industrial robots have been expensive single-purpose machines, locked behind cages, designed to replace humans doing a repetitive task like welding in a car factory. But cobots are cheaper multi-purpose devices that work on a production line alongside humans, who will teach them many different tasks. I was shown how to program one of these cobots, Sawyer, to move a bottle from one place to another - nothing complex but a demonstration of how flexibly a small business could use a robot like this. This kind of cobot, the argument goes, will be an ally, not an enemy, of manufacturing workers. Outside factories, however, robots are poised to do lots of jobs in service industries, from providing information in supermarkets to leading elderly people through exercise routines. Pepper, the French-made companion robot now owned by Japan's SoftBank, is preparing its assault on Europe, with a clutch of firms showing off applications. Among them was a Pepper estate agent, an application from the UK's Emotion Robotics. The robot did a perfectly good job of taking me through the process of selecting a few houses to view, before calling up a real life estate agent - at which point I made my excuses and left. There is something rather charming about this particular humanoid robot - but I was not convinced that it provides a more efficient service than simply tapping on a phone or tablet. And there was evidence this week that the threat of mass unemployment as the robots take over may have been exaggerated. An Oxford University study predicting that over a third of jobs in the UK were under threat from automation over the next two decades has been the source of much of the anxiety. But economists at the OECD have taken another look at that research and reached a much less worrying conclusion. Whereas the Oxford study examines entire professions - and effectively wipes them out as the robots advance - the OECD researchers say only specific tasks within them may be at risk. "Occupations labelled as high-risk occupations often still contain a substantial share of tasks that are hard to automate." That leads them to conclude that just 9% of jobs across OECD countries might be subject to automation. That is a point also made by Tom Davenport, author of a book called Only Humans Need Apply. He tells Tech Tent that, while the advance of robots may lead to increased inequality as low-skill jobs disappear, their impact may arrive more slowly than predicted. He points out that despite the arrival in banking of ATMs and other innovations, there are the same number of bank tellers in the US as in 1980. Anyway, all these new robots will need skilled technicians, just as in the first industrial revolution - back then, "if you knew how a spinning jenny worked you could easily get a job in a textile factory." In other words, stop worrying about the Terminator, relax and learn to love and care for a robot. Hear more about all this in our latest episode of Tech Tent, our weekly radio show on the BBC World Service. The 46ft-long (14m) sperm whale died on Thursday after it was washed up alive on the shore near Hunstanton, Norfolk, hours earlier. A cordon has been put around the animal and King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council said people should not touch it or let dogs near it. It is "unlikely" the carcass will be removed over the weekend. The council has also warned people not to collect and eat shellfish from the area and that water sports enthusiasts should be aware the sea quality could be affected. It had consulted with Public Health England over the advice after another sperm whale was stranded last month. Visitors urged to stay away from whale In 2011 at the resort, a beached sperm whale - which is a protected species - had its teeth and jaw removed and put up for sale on Facebook. "Anyone removing, or attempting to remove, parts of the whale could be committing a criminal offence," the council said in a statement. The huge mammal is lying on land owned by the Le Strange family estate. Estate representative Jonathan Fryer reiterated the council's advice and said he would ask people to "consider what they are coming to look at - it's a very sad event". He said it was "unlikely" the bull's body would be removed over the weekend. It is not yet known how the whale will be removed and where it will go as various organisations need to be consulted, he added. A post-mortem examination was carried out on Friday, but Rob Deaville, from the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme, said it could takes months to "work out why these whales have come into the North Sea". It is the 30th sperm whale to have died this year after becoming stranded on beaches in northern Europe and England. Cameron Logan was killed in the blaze in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire, on New Year's Day morning. His girlfriend Rebecca Williams remains in a serious condition in hospital. Detectives had urged for dog walkers and joggers to come forward. They also want to trace a man in Army combat clothing seen nearby. Officers have issued various witness appeals. On Friday, they said a number of people had come forward with information, but they were still keen to speak to others. A police spokeswoman said there had been a "positive response" to their most recent witness appeal. Officers were also keen to trace a man in Army combat clothing reported to have been walking on the West Highland Way on the morning of the fire. It is believed he routinely walks from Maryhill to the West Highland Way at Craigton Road, often passing through the Milngavie area, and officers believe he may have information which could help the ongoing investigation. Police are treating the case as murder and attempted murder. The fire also resulted in Mr Logan's parents being treated for smoke inhalation and caused the death of the family dog. Ms Williams, a broadcast journalist with Global Radio, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, initially in a critical condition. A spokesman for NHS Greater Glasgow said on Friday: "Rebecca's condition remains serious but stable." Ms Williams' father has said she was "fighting hard" in hospital. Phillip Williams thanked well-wishers for their support in a response on Facebook. He said: "Thanks for all the thoughts and wishes. No real change yet but I will try to put up news when I can. She's fighting hard." Ms Williams, 24, and Mr Logan, 23, had been celebrating Hogmanay and walked home in the early hours of the morning. Detectives said the fire had been set deliberately, resulting in the death of psychology student Mr Logan. Since then, officers have also been carrying out door-to-door inquires, checking CCTV footage and interviewing people from the party the couple attended. Officers were seen searching woodland and waterways near the semi-detached property on Friday. Det Ch Insp Paul Livingstone, of the major investigation teams at Govan, thanked those who have already come forward with information. He said: "We continue to seek information on the dark-coloured car that reportedly had its engine running at the layby on Craigton Road and we would continue to ask anyone with information to come forward." Mr Livingstone said police were doing all they could to trace those responsible for the "despicable" crime. He added: "A number of local residents have now come forward with the belief that they may have been the dog walkers previously described. "We do know that there were a number of individuals walking dogs around the time of the incident, so please continue to contact us if you believe you have information which may help our inquiry." A group of men attacked two houses and threatened residents at Mountcollyer Avenue in the Tiger's Bay area. Windows in two of the houses were smashed on Monday night and one man was reported to have been carrying a pick axe. There was a second incident at one of the houses on Tuesday. A Polish woman living in one of the houses said did feel safe there. Tuesday's 1-0 home defeat to Morton leaves the Kirkcaldy side eighth in the Championship, four points above the relegation play-off place. Locke, 41, took over at Stark's Park last May following Ray MacKinnon's departure to Dundee United. The former Hearts manager resigned as Kilmarnock boss in January 2016 after less than a year in the post. Rovers started their league campaign with three consecutive victories but have only won three more games in the Championship since, their last success coming in late October. Jackson, 50, had been on the coaching staff at Dundee United, leaving in September 2015, along with manager Jackie McNamara. Capped 28 times for Scotland, he joined Rovers immediately after Locke's appointment. Locke's dismissal drew sympathy from Morton manager Jim Duffy, whose side moved back up to third in the Championship with victory at Stark's Park. "You always feel for every manager; we all know how difficult a job it is, how hard every manager works - it is a 24/7 job," Duffy told BBC Scotland. "It totally takes over you and consumes you. Gary is a terrific boy and I absolutely feel for him. It is very difficult if it is ultimately your team [Morton] that tips the balance against him. "For any manager time is the key element, and if you get a bit of time, there is a chance you can turn things around. "But patience is generally not a virtue in football. Normally if it is not going your way, the inevitability is you are going to lose your job." It was one of four William Burges pieces and was at risk of being sold to an overseas buyer unless someone could match the asking price of £225,000. Culture minister Ed Vaizey has placed the temporary bar on the vase, designed in 1874 and the last one still in private ownership. The export licence application has been deferred until 16 September. This could be extended to 16 February 2017 if a serious intention to raise funds to buy it for £225,000 is made. The four vases were designed for the summer smoking room in the castle's clock tower. One is in London's Victoria and Albert Museum, another at the Higgins Gallery and Museum, Bedford, while the third vase was subject to an export bar last year and was subsequently saved by the National Museum of Wales. William Burges was commissioned by John Patrick-Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, to rebuild Cardiff Castle. The vases were designed to reflect the interior of the summer smoking room. Chairman of the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA), Sir Hayden Phillips, said: "Apart from this vase's intrinsic quality, the opportunity is now there for us to retain the original quartet which would be a noble purpose, in the public interest and of great historical significance." Among the reasons for the RCEWA's recommendation were that the vase is of outstanding aesthetic importance and of outstanding significance for the study of the development of Burges's designs. Ms Wood said she was "seriously considering" the move after a General Election was called for 8 June. But on Sunday, she Tweeted: "After much consideration, I'm not standing as MP for the Rhondda. Confident that @Plaid_Cymru will have very strong candidate." The seat is currently held by Labour's Chris Bryant. Ms Wood took the Rhondda seat from Labour in the 2016 assembly election, beating former minister Leighton Andrews. Speculation had been mounting she would throw her hat into the ring for the Westminster seat. However, Ms Wood, who has been Plaid leader since 2012, distanced herself from the move while speaking on BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme earlier on Sunday. "On balance, I'm coming down against, as we've got other people who I believe can win in the Rhondda," she said. "Going to Westminster, for me, would mean I couldn't be the leader of the party," she added. "The National Assembly is an important institution to us a party. It is vital that the leader is in that institution." Plaid currently has three MPs in Westminster and are targeting at least two more seats in the General Election. Of Wales' 40 MPs, 25 are Labour but Ms Wood says they are in "no fit state" to provide an opposition to the Conservatives. "There is a good opportunity for us in this election," she said. "Labour are divided and seem unable, therefore, to protect people in Wales. We know that the Tories are a threat to our nation and a threat to our economy. "There is an opportunity for Plaid Cymru to make sure Wales has a strong voice to defend Wales and the only way we can do that is to ensure we have a strong team of Plaid Cymru MPs in Westminster. "This is our chance." British artists accounted for 11.7% of all albums sold in the US in 2011, the BPI said, up from 9.8% in 2010. Adele's second album 21 led the pack, selling 5.8 million copies, followed by Mumford and Sons' Sigh No More, which sold 1.4 million. A total of 30 albums by UK acts sold more than 100,000 copies in the US. The Brits' share was the highest since comparable figures were first compiled in 2000, and could be the highest since the 1980s, the BPI said. The other best-selling British albums in 2011 included Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto, Susan Boyle's Someone to Watch Over Me and the two albums by Florence and the Machine. Adele's debut 19 sold more than 900,000 copies last year, while Liverpool-born R&B singer Marsha Ambrosius was also among the year's biggest British sellers with her debut solo album Late Nights and Early Mornings. Meanwhile, Jessie J, Tinie Tempah, Coldplay, Taio Cruz and The Beatles were among the UK acts who joined Adele in selling more than a million single tracks in the US last year. BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor said boybands like One Direction and The Wanted, who are both enjoying chart success across the Atlantic, looked set to continue the trend. "These results prove that the risks UK labels take investing in British talent... help British artists break internationally and generate important exports that boost the UK economy," he said. The teams included former South Africa fast bowler Makhaya Ntini and ex-England spinner Ashley Giles. The game was played at a height of 5,730m (18,799 ft) in a flat crater just below the summit. They played 10 overs each of a Twenty20 game before clouds stopped play. "This is absolutely incredible! We are playing cricket on the summit of Africa!" Giles tweeted on Friday morning. The current record for the world's highest game is 5,165m, played in the Himalayas at Everest base camp in Nepal in 2009. The "Gorillas" team, led by England women's vice-captain Heather Knight, scored 82-5 to beat Giles' "Rhinos" team, who managed 64-9, the AFP news agency reports. The daily wildlife drama surrounding the Norwich Cathedral peregrine falcon family has become addictive viewing for millions of people watching online around the world and for thousands of visitors to the cathedral's watch point. For one man, observing the chicks' progress has become a labour of love as he spends hours in his "den" recording them via a live web stream to tell their story. "I really try not to get paternal - but I probably do," said Dave Gittens, a volunteer with the Hawk and Owl Trust (HOT) who is responsible for the live nest-cams. "I try really hard to be objective, they are wild animals, they are doing things we might find distasteful or difficult to watch - and when they die naturally, to watch a chick go through its last moments of life is terrible." Mr Gittens said he spends what "feels like 90 days" watching the breeding season - but quickly adds "it's not an arduous task, it's a real privilege to be in a position where you can see these birds." The peregrine falcons, nesting on a special platform on the cathedral spire 246ft (75m) above the ground, have been breeding in Norwich since 2011 as part of an urban peregrine breeding programme managed by the Hawk and Owl Trust. This year's chicks, among the first in the city for more than 200 years after the pair's first successful clutch in 2012, hatched at the end of April. Mr Gittens said the moment was exhilarating. "The excitement of seeing the first chick hatch, watching with trepidation as they walk up and down the nest ledge. "Your knees go weak, you get bouts of vertigo for them, you can almost hear the people screaming on Facebook - at this stage they are right on the cusp of being flight ready - but they're only just ready. "Until you see them flying around and all the rest of it - it's heart-stopping," he said. Mr Gittens describes himself as "a cog in the wheel" with more than 100 volunteers working on the urban peregrine project. While he watches the birds in their nest from the comfort of his den, others tackle the elements to take a more "hands-on" approach to capturing images of them. "I quickly became addicted to these superb and charismatic birds," said Norwich-based photographer Andy Thompson, who can spend more than 270 hours taking pictures of the adults and their chicks during the breeding season. "It can be quite cold and bleak... but any activity gets the adrenaline going as you follow them around the skies." "Fledging time is often the most exciting period... but it can also be quite an upsetting time as unfortunately the birds do have accidents and may get killed," said Mr Thompson. "This is a natural thing that happens in urban and rural nesting areas, but it is still somewhat a blow when a bird you have watched for many weeks is suddenly no more." The birds are the fastest thing on earth with an ability to fly at more than 200mph (322km/h) when diving for prey, making them faster than a cheetah and on-par with a Formula 1 car. Wildlife presenter Chris Packham, who returns to RSPB Minsmere in Suffolk for the new season of Springwatch on 25 May, is a big fan of the peregrine and the urban projects. "They are the fastest things on earth... which struck me as almost unbelievable when I was 10 and still does now," he said. "They look pure muscle assassin, brutal, totally hard, it's the eye and the moustacial stripe and the massive feet - their weapons. "If I was re-incarnated as another species of animal there is only one I'd be... and it isn't a pigeon." The wildlife expert and conservationist is also a keen supporter of the urban peregrine scheme. There are a number of nesting projects on buildings across the country including Bath, Derby and Nottingham. "If you own a tall building... you should be putting up nest boxes," he said. The hours Mr Gittens spends watching the peregrines needs an "understanding" from his wife Caroline. She says she is "very proud" of the work as it brings "so much pleasure to millions of people". "I totally support him... it's something we both enjoy and get a kick out of," she said. "They are just such a fantastic bird - it's great we have the technology to be able to see them 24/7 - to see the body language and the things they get up to - it's a privilege." Peregrine falcon numbers declined during the 19th and 20th centuries due to illegal shooting and use of certain pesticides on farms. The species became almost extinct in the 1960s but became protected in 1981. There are about 1,500 breeding pairs in the UK, according to the RSPB. The Norfolk-based British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) is currently collating data from a peregrine survey recorded last summer with the results expected later in the year. Early analysis shows "more peregrines are now breeding in lowland England than during the last survey in 2002, especially in the urban environment," said Dawn Balmer from the trust. Despite the long hours and heart-stopping moments, Dave Gittens said he would never change his hours of watching. "It's rewarding - it makes you feel you've provided a service to people to bring them closer back to nature." The Buddies, who parted with boss Alex Rae last week, led through John Sutton but Nicky Clark levelled. A second from Sutton put the visitors ahead again until Andy Webster's own goal restored parity. Clark put the Pars in front only for Ryan Hardie to equalise but El Alagui struck from close range to settle the match. Just over 20 years since they last played together for Hearts, Allan Johnston and Allan McManus came head to head in a managerial capacity for the first time as St Mirren's Head of Youth Development took charge of St Mirren for the first time. Dunfermline opened the brighter of the two sides and Joe Cardle spurned an early chance to open the scoring after the ball appeared to catch between his feet as he failed to convert Nicky Clark's cross. Sutton had a first half to remember by taking both chances that came his way. The first came when Lewis Morgan was allowed two chances at delivering his cross and Sutton guided the low ball into the corner of the net, his shot just evading the diving Sean Murdoch. Dunfermline quickly responded and were deservedly level nine minutes later when Clark netted with a low diving header perfectly meeting Jason Talbot's cross. But Sutton was to have the last word in the first half. The striker gathered a simple ball forward into his feet at the edge of the box and he held off Callum Fordyce to unleash a quick shot with perfect placement to restore Saints lead. Ryan Williamson replaced Fordyce at half-time and immediately the home side searched for an equaliser which almost came when Cardle shot wide. Sutton headed wide, missing his opportunity for a hat-trick. Scott Gallagher pulled off a great save from Clark but St Mirren could not clear and Cardle reacted after the ball rebounded off to score with a deflection off Webster. Clark scored his second of the game with fourteen minutes to play when he read Michael Paton's cross and nipped in to steer the ball beyond Scott Gallagher. Saints were behind for only five minutes when Hardie found the top corner from the right side of the box as the game continued to thrill with its attacking intent. The game was settled by a defensive lapse nine minutes was timer when Rocco Quinn attempted a passback into the box but he didn't anticipate the threat posed by El Alagui who clipped the ball beyond the onrushing Gallagher to secure the points and their first league win since opening day for Dunfermline. Dunfermline's Allan Johnston: "It's good to finally get the result we deserve. We are looking to push up in the table and challenge in the top four, we believe we have the players capable of doing that and I think we showed that today. "I couldn't see how we were behind at half-time, I thought we were the much more dominant team and it was a really good team performance in the second half. Nicky Clark was unplayable, he was everywhere with great finishes for the goals. There were some special goals. "The players have shown a lot of confidence in the last four games and we've not been far away but it was good to get that result." St Mirren's Allan McManus: "We were very unlucky, I thought we deserved at least a point from the game. We created numerous opportunities and another day it could have been different. "Where we are at the moment is fine lines with the goals and there was a mistake at the end. I can't ask for more from the players, they played some really good stuff at times. I've told the players that there is no point in sitting with their heads down they just have to come back in on Monday and work hard and keep working hard and playing like that and it will turn round. "I have no idea if I will be in charge for the Falkirk game, I will keep doing what I am doing until a new management team is in place. I am more than happy with my job which is to develop players for the first team but this is a great experience for me." Match ends, Dunfermline Athletic 4, St. Mirren 3.

They died in the eastern Kailahun district, which borders southern Guinea where the outbreak started in March and has killed more than 145 people. There is no cure or vaccine for Ebola - one of the world's deadliest viruses. But people have a better chance of surviving if it is identified early and they get supportive medical care. Ebola can kill up to 90% of those infected and is passed on through contact with the fluids of infected people or animals, such as urine, sweat and blood. Dr Amara Jambai, the director of disease prevention and control at Sierra Leone's health ministry, said a health worker was among the four people who had died of Ebola. The deaths had occurred over the last three to four days, he said. People who developed a fever should immediately report a medical facility and an emergency medical team has been deployed to the remote area, Dr Jambai said. Why Ebola is so dangerous The UN World Health Organization said it has been informed about the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone and would help deploy essential supplies. It said it had received information from the field that there had been six deaths - one of which had been laboratory confirmed as Ebola. Freetown-based journalist Alpha Kamara told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme that many people in Kailahun district were staying indoors for fear of catching the virus. A local chief in the area told him that there had been 11 suspicious deaths between Thursday and Sunday. In Guinea, there have been a total of 258 suspect and confirmed cases of Ebola, including 174 deaths - 146 of which have been laboratory-confirmed positive. In Liberia there have been 12 suspected cases, with nine deaths. The 31-year-old opener, who has appeared in nine Test matches, left Taunton by mutual agreement last month in order to relocate to London. Compton, who previously played for Middlesex between 2001 and 2009, has signed a three-year deal at Lord's. "The time feels right to return home. Hopefully I can come back and reproduce my best cricket here," he said. South Africa-born Compton made his England debut in November 2012 after scoring 1,494 first-class runs for Somerset that summer, but he has not featured for the national team since being dropped for the home Ashes series against Australia in 2013. Following five years at Taunton, he described his return to Middlesex as an "exciting challenge" and has targeted a return to the England set-up. "Leaving Lord's to play for Somerset was, at the time, a step in my development I felt I needed to make," he said. "Whilst at Somerset I grew as a player and a person. I also fulfilled the dream of representing England, which is something I am determined to do again." The grandson of England great Denis Compton, he has scored 9,163 first-class runs at an average of 43.84 since making his debut in 2004, including 22 centuries. Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said the right-hander had "a lot to offer" the club on and off the pitch. "Players of Nick's ability do not become available very often and when we were made aware of his desire to move back to London we immediately moved," he added. "With Chris Rogers hopefully playing for Australia next summer we needed to find a high quality top order batsman and in Nick we have secured the services of one. "It will be great to see him once again wearing a Middlesex cap and sweater." A study led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) gathered data from 8.6m people across London's 32 boroughs. Scientists found deaths were 4% more common in adults and the elderly where the daytime traffic noise was more than 60dB compared to less than 55dB. Experts said the study did not imply a causal link. Researchers looked at data for people living in London between 2003 and 2010. They analysed road traffic noise levels during the day, between 07:00 and 23:00 and at night, between 23:00 and 07:00. More than 1.6 million people in the city are exposed to road traffic noise levels during the day above 55dB, the level defined by the World Health Organisation as causing health problems. The increase in the number of deaths was most likely to be linked to heart or blood vessel disease, possibly due to increased blood pressure, sleep problems and stress from the noise, they said. Jaana Halonen from LSHTM said: "Our findings contribute to the body of evidence suggesting reductions in traffic noise could be beneficial to our health." Prof Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick said the study was a "welcome addition" to the body of evidence about the role the environment plays in health. "Public health policies must pay more attention to this emerging evidence," he said. He warned the study did not imply a direct cause between noise pollution and early deaths and strokes, but added to evidence suggesting there was a link between the two. Some 56% of the 1,200 delegates at the NUS conference in Brighton backed Shakira Martin, 28, as president. Previously vice-president, she ousted Malia Bouattia who was elected in 2016. Ms Bouattia ran into controversy when an article she co-wrote in 2011, describing Birmingham university as a "Zionist outpost", came to light. Ms Martin, a former student at Lewisham and Southwark College, highlighted the fact that she is "black single mother from a working-class family" during her campaign. Ms Martin told the BBC News website: "This is where I am coming from. It's the only thing I know. "I came into this campaign with nothing but overcoming adversity and challenges and barriers. "I was born into barriers and the struggle is real." She said things began to change for her when she returned to college after the birth of her first daughter six years ago. Ms Martin saw an advert for the role of women's officer at her college student union and went for it. "Here the people didn't look like me or talk like me, but they had a heart like me. "The rest is history," she added. The former student has promised a union which is "united and fighting for free education for everyone". She said: "I am honoured and humbled to have been elected as NUS national president. "I take this as a vote of trust that our members believe I can lead our national movement to be the fighting and campaigning organisation we need it to be, representing the breadth of our diverse membership. "Further education made me who I am today and I look forward to sharing stories of just how powerful all forms of education can be when we're all given access to it. "During my term in office I want to spend my time listening, learning and leading." The post of NUS president has long been a coveted position for those seeking political office. Former NUS presidents include Jack Straw, Charles Clarke, Liam Burns and Trevor Phillips. The new president pushed the standing president into second place winning by 402 votes to 272. The NUS paid tribute to Ms Bouattia's efforts to make the student movement "more diverse" and representative. In her speech seeking re-election, she spoke of the death threats and harassment she had faced during her presidency. She was the first black Muslim to hold the post of NUS president, repeatedly denied accusations of anti-Semitism and also apologised for her past comments about Birmingham University. A string of disaffiliation votes by student unions around the country during the summer followed the controversy. However, most of these had actually been set in train before the issue flared up. Three of the 26 who held referendums, Loughborough, Hull, and Newcastle universities, disaffiliated. Then a group of student leaders wrote an open letter saying Jewish students had not felt safe "participating in our national movement". The third candidate, Tom Harwood, who won just 35 votes, stood on a platform of "re-legitimising" the student movement and speaking "for all students". "We should be fighting credible battles, and offering constructive solutions. Only then can we deliver. "We must shout louder about living costs, fight for realistic improvements to tuition fees, and be flexible and innovative in our response to government policy." Not just applause - that is standard. But multi-party approbation. Leaders and their colleagues all applauding each other, commending the comments of their rivals. It was a display of solidarity, of unity, of determination to defy terror in the face of the tragic scenes from Westminster. A small thing, perhaps, the collective hubbub of colliding palms. But, in its way, significant. It is an animal instinct, a social imperative, to huddle together when under attack. But this was also about a declaration of shared values; of democracy and freedom of expression. Each of the leaders performed their role well, deftly choreographing their condemnation and commonality of purpose. The first minister talked of the "heinous attack" witnessed at Westminster. Like other leaders, she praised the police, the security officers and others who had tendered assistance. Those who ran towards chaos, to help, rather than understandably fleeing the scene. Terrorists, she said, seek to undermine, to divide. "They will not succeed", she declared. It was a conscious echo of statements made by others, including the prime minister. It was a deliberate act of consolidation. Ruth Davidson spoke of a cowardly attack, Kezia Dugdale described Westminster as a beacon of democracy, Patrick Harvie urged a programme of education to ease division. Willie Rennie told movingly of how he used to walk across Westminster Bridge on his way to work as an MP, no doubt quietly reciting Wordsworth's lines, "a sight so touching in its majesty". Many years earlier, I pursued the same route daily, from Waterloo. Mr Rennie reflected that the splendour he had once witnessed was now associated with brutality and death. One can but hope that Wordsworth's majesty will return. All the leaders, all the leaders, emphasised that terror must not be allowed to divide communities in Scotland. In particular, that there must be no backlash against Muslims. Then it was over - and, in further questions, MSPs returned to discussing hospitals, care of the elderly and the like. There was even room for a little muted humour. Mundane? Of course. Deliberately so. A conscious return to parliament's duty. Vote Leave has published an "illustrative" dossier of 50 criminals the UK has been unable to deport. Mr Raab said British families were being put at risk - and argued leaving the EU would make the UK "safer". Immigration minister James Brokenshire, who backs Remain, said the UK had deported 6,500 EU criminals since 2010. And he said Prime Minister David Cameron's EU renegotiation gave the UK greater control over deportation - but Mr Raab said the EU had "refused any change" to the rules. The row comes with just over two weeks to go until the UK votes on whether to stay in or leave the EU, in a referendum on 23 June. Meanwhile, in other EU referendum campaign developments: Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Raab said the 50 cases in Vote Leave's dossier were an "illustrative set of examples of the kinds of people" the UK cannot remove from the country because of EU rules on freedom of movement. He was unable to say how many of the criminals were currently in prison, but said they had been convicted for a year or more for offences ranging from murders to "mid-ranking crimes" such as drug offences and fraud. "We've tried to deport them and can't which means all of them will be released or have been released into the community," Mr Raab told Today. He added: "It is putting the British public at risk because it effectively means we import criminal risk into the country and then the EU rules tie our hands in dealing with it." He said Vote Leave was not saying "you can't remove anyone" but argued that the deportation threshold was higher for EU nationals than non-EU nationals, saying eight times as many offenders from countries outside the EU were removed in 2015. "That shows you the difference in operational bite between the rules in relation to EU nationals and non EU nationals," he added. Cross-border policing and security collaboration but also freedom of movement. Arguing in favour of an EU exit, he said the UK would be able to "regain" control of its borders and deport more foreign criminals from the EU, which, he said, would make the country "safer". He also insisted extradition relations would continue with the EU if the UK voted to leave on 23 June, saying there would be "no public protection lost from being outside" the bloc. "If you look from Passenger Name Records, to co-operation with Europol, to extradition - these are all things you can have whether you're in or out of the EU but the one thing you don't get unless you're out of the EU is control of your borders." Responding to Vote Leave's claims, Mr Brokenshire said: "The UK sought greater control over the deportation of foreign criminals in its EU renegotiation - and that's precisely what the prime minister's deal delivered." He said the UK's ability to deport foreign criminals had been "strengthened", allowing the UK to take into account "the full background of a criminal in a decision over whether to deport". The minister added: "The bigger picture is that our access to the European Arrest Warrant has allowed us to deport 6,500 European criminals since 2010. That's 130 times the number of criminals Vote Leave have identified. "If we left the EU, we could no longer use the European Arrest Warrant. That's just one of the reasons we are safer inside the EU, where we can co-operate to deal far more effectively with crime and security." A report by the Home Affairs Committee said last week that failure to deport 13,000 foreign criminals - equivalent to a "small town" - would lead people to "question the point" of the UK remaining in the EU. The MPs said it was "deeply concerning" that 5,789 overseas criminals were free in the UK, more than anytime since 2012 - but the Home Office said it deported record numbers of EU criminals last year. Vote Leave also picked up on a ruling by the European Court of Justice, saying it could put the UK's security at risk. The ECJ said non-EU migrants illegally entering an EU state in the passport-free Schengen zone should not face detention on those grounds - and should instead be returned to the country they came from under a directive giving them up to 30 days to go voluntarily. The ruling does not apply to the UK or Ireland, which are not within the Schengen zone. But Mr Raab said the ruling increased the risk of illegal immigrants entering the UK, "because it weakens the ability of other EU governments to put in place proper checks". Labour MP and Remain campaigner Emma Reynolds said Vote Leave was "misleading people yet again", adding: "They know perfectly well that this court ruling does not apply to the UK because we are exempt from this directive." The note said: "Dear chief secretary, I'm afraid there is no money. Kind regards - and good luck! Liam." His successor, Lib Dem David Laws, broke with tradition and made the note public, accusing Mr Byrne of flippancy. Mr Byrne said he had been following a tradition dating back to Churchill. And he had never expected his attempt to be humorous would become a "centrepiece" of the Conservative Party's victorious 2015 general election campaign. The Birmingham MP, 46, told a Cheltenham Literature Festival "business breakfast" audience a combination of his father's death from alcoholism and the furore over the note had left him feeling "completely" ashamed. And although he had never seriously contemplated suicide, he had sought solace with his uncle in Dorset. "I had not been able to save my dad from drinking, and I had written this note that was now being used to hammer the Labour Party," he said. "So I, in my desperation, in a real moment of anguish, took myself to my uncle, who is the wisest man I know. "He walked me up to the cliff at the back of his house in Dorset, and I was kind of ready to throw myself off. "I said, 'What am I supposed to do?' "And he gave me a brilliant line from Samuel Beckett: 'Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.'" In 2010, Mr Byrne admitted it had been "a foolish letter to write." A team of scientists from Switzerland, America and the UK teamed up to research the eating habits of certain species of spider. They discovered that spiders from 10 different families were eating nectar, sap, honeydew, leaves, pollen and seeds from things like weeds, shrubs, trees, grasses, ferns and orchids. The spiders who ate the most plants were the 'Salticidae', or the jumping spider family. The lead scientist Martin Nyffeler from the University of Basel thinks that the reason why the spiders eat plants might be to help them to avoid going hungry when there aren't as many insects around and to give them have a balance of different nutrients from the food. The case concerned whether the publication of pixelated CCTV footage meant a criminal offence had been committed. But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) ruled there was "nothing sufficiently distinctive" likely to identify her. Evans and his supporters are trying to get his conviction overturned. The disgraced Wales football international was jailed for five years in 2012 after being found guilty of raping a 19-year-old woman at a hotel near Rhyl, Denbighshire. The 26-year-old was released last year after serving half of his sentence. In January, the CPS was asked by the Attorney General to consider whether there was a case to answer.

Media playback is not supported on this device Lopez, 35, saved a match point to win 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (10-8) at Queen's. The Spaniard missed a match point against Grigor Dimitrov in the 2014 final, but got his hands on the trophy at the 12th time of asking. "I cannot believe that I have finally won this trophy," world number 32 Lopez told BBC Sport. "I have been waiting for so long, 15 or 16 years, to be here holding this trophy." Both men had dropped serve only once on their way through the draw and the final was, predictably, a match of fleeting opportunities that came down to a deciding tie-break. Lopez saw two match points slip by before taking his third after two hour and 31 minutes. The grass-court specialist had said before the match how much the tournament means to him, and flew his parents in from Spain on Sunday morning to watch the final. Cilic, 28, would end the week having lost just that one service game, and none in the final, but after edging the opening set he could not capitalise on an early chance in the second. Lopez kept pace with Cilic as serve dominated, and got the better of two contrasting tie-breaks. He raced into a 6-1 lead in the first, levelling at one set all when Cilic found the tramlines, and then held his nerve in a dramatic decider. Lopez lunged to his left and volleyed into the open court to save the first match point of the tie-break, and then saw Cilic save one with his 22nd ace, and a second - on Lopez's serve - with a volley. It was Cilic who finally cracked, hooking a forehand wide and prompting an emotional Lopez to head into the crowd to celebrate with his team and family. Lopez claimed his sixth career title and took his record on grass this season to 9-1, having finished runner-up in Stuttgart last week. "I thought at the end of the tie-break, after missing match points, that I was not going to be able to make it," said Lopez. "It is tough to put the match where I lost to Dimitrov out of my mind. I was serving for the match again and it was difficult to handle my nerves but I managed it. "It is tough to believe at 35 that I am playing my best tennis, but I think I am." Cilic will head into Wimbledon hopeful of improving on three successive quarter-final places, with a likely seeding of six. He said: "It was a really high level of tennis and it was a pleasure to play. It was an amazing match. "I had chances in the second set to get a break up but Feliciano played very well. He always plays well on grass and he deserves the title. "I played great tennis this week and I enjoyed every single day. It was great preparation for Wimbledon." Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. John Lloyd, former British number one and 1977 Australian Open finalist: They are both so sharp right now. Apart from the physical recovery, they would like to play Wimbledon tomorrow. They are peaking. Cilic didn't lose his serve today and lost the title. He did everything he could but it came down to one point. Peter Fleming, seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion: I'm amazed that they played as well as they did. There were so few unforced errors. It was an incredibly high-quality match. It is a dream for Feliciano Lopez to be 35 and playing his best tennis. He won't want to wake up.

Spain's Feliciano Lopez finally ended the wait for a first Aegon Championships title with victory over Croatia's Marin Cilic in the final.

Irfan Faiz, 55, from Pakistan, who gave his address in court as Oxford Street, Oldham, was held at Leeds Bradford Airport on 18 September. The Pakistan International Airlines pilot was about to fly to Islamabad. Sentencing him at Leeds Crown Court, Mr Justice Coulson QC said Faiz had committed a "very serious offence". Faiz had been charged with carrying out an activity ancillary to an aviation function while impaired by drink. The court heard he gave an initial reading of 41 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath on a police officer's handheld device. The legal limit for driving a car is 35 microgrammes, but for flying in the UK it just nine. He later gave a reading of 28 microgrammes, the court was told. Faiz told police he had consumed three quarters of a bottle of whisky before the flight, which was due to depart at 22:10 BST. However, he said he had stopped drinking at about 03:00. Faiz was an experienced and well-respected pilot with 25 years' experience and an unblemished record, the court was told. His barrister, Paul Greaney QC, told the court his client was not a heavy drinker but was under a lot of stress at the time because of a kidnap threat against his family. The court heard the defendant is from a prominent family in Pakistan. Mr Greaney told the judge that, despite being an experienced pilot, Faiz was not aware of the rules about drinking and flying in the UK. Mr Justice Coulson said he was "astonished" to hear pilots regularly flying out of the UK were not aware of the rules about alcohol consumption, which are based on the amount of alcohol present in the body. It was "extraordinary" that the rules in Pakistan only stated there should be a 12-hour gap between "bottle and throttle", no matter how much the pilot had drunk, the judge said. He added: "This is a very serious offence. If he had not been stopped, he would have flown the aircraft to Islamabad. That could have had potential catastrophic consequences. "Many people find flying a difficult and nervous ordeal at the best of times. They need to have absolute confidence in their safety and security." In a statement, a spokesman for Pakistan International Airlines said "further action" would be taken against Faiz once he had completed his sentence in the UK. "The maximum sentence is termination from service," he said. General James Mattis, defence secretary nominee, warned Nato was under its biggest attack since World War Two. Mike Pompeo, Mr Trump's pick to lead the CIA, said Moscow posed a threat in Europe and was "asserting itself aggressively" in Ukraine. The tough talk follows Mr Trump's call for warmer relations with Moscow. Mr Mattis, a retired general and Mr Trump's pick for Pentagon chief, said Russian President Vladimir Putin was trying to divide Nato nations. "I think right now the most important thing is that we recognise the reality of what we deal with with Mr Putin," he told the Armed Services Committee. "And we recognise that he is trying to break the North Atlantic alliance and that we take the steps... to defend ourselves where we must. "I think it's under the biggest attack since World War II, sir, and that's from Russia, from terrorist groups and with what China is doing in the South China Sea." The former four-star Marine general has described Nato as the most successful military alliance in modern history, clashing with Mr Trump's comments undercutting the almost 70-year-old organisation. General Mattis also gave his support to the intelligence community, saying he had a "very, very high degree of confidence" in them despite the president-elect's recent doubts over their assessments. On Wednesday, during a contentious press conference in which Donald Trump was repeatedly pressed about his views on Russia, the president-elect asserted that a friendly relation with Vladimir Putin would be an asset, not a liability. The following morning, several of Mr Trump's key appointments took a sharper line with congressional committees reviewing their nominations. James Mattis, up for defence secretary, put Russia at the top of his "principal threat" list. Congressman Mike Pompeo, who Mr Trump has tapped to be director of the CIA, called Russian attempts to influence the US 2016 presidential election an "aggressive action". Mr Pompeo added that Russia was "doing nothing to aid in the destruction and defeat" of the so-called Islamic State - a position that stands in stark contrast to Mr Trump's view that the Russia could be an ally in the Middle East. While these views could reflect the nominees' desire to court favour from congressional Russia hawks whose votes could be essential to their confirmation, it may also set up tension between Mr Trump and his top advisers in the days and months ahead. Mr Pompeo, Mr Trump's choice for CIA director, faced questions over the president-elect's rift with the US intelligence community. He told the Intelligence Committee he had "every confidence" in the US intelligence services. Their assessment that state-directed Russian hackers meddled in the US election was "sound", he added. The conservative Kansas Republican was quick to criticise Moscow for invading and occupying Ukraine, threatening Europe and "doing nearly nothing" to destroy the so-called Islamic State. But when asked what was the greatest security threat to the US, he cited terrorism foremost and lumped Russia in behind North Korea and China. Mr Pompeo, who previously said the CIA's post-9/11 interrogation practices were lawful, was questioned about that issue, too. He affirmed he would support the statement that "the CIA is out of the enhanced interrogation" business. Rex Tillerson, Mr Trump's choice for secretary of state, was less hawkish on Russia when he was grilled by the Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday. The former chief executive of Exxon Mobil declined to label President Putin a war criminal for his actions in Syria and elsewhere when pressed to do so by Florida senator Marco Rubio. Mr Tillerson did side, however, with the US intelligence assessment that Mr Putin probably directed the hacks on the US Democratic party. If confirmed as Pentagon boss, Mr Mattis, nicknamed Mad Dog, would be the first career military officer to serve as secretary of defence in more than 50 years. Who is General 'Mad Dog' Mattis? The committee voted 24-3 to approve a congressional waiver to allow him to serve in the post. A retired former military staff must spend a minimum of seven years out of office before they can run the Pentagon. Mr Mattis has only been retired for three years. Whether Ed Miliband sticks with £9,000 or goes for a cut to £6,000 or a switch to a graduate tax it's going to trigger a blizzard of stories about student debt. But are we missing something much more pressing? The hard cash question for many students and their families is about weekly living costs and the amount they can borrow to pay for it. "Maintenance loan" isn't such a snappy phrase on a protest banner, but it's causing real headaches, even though it's not really on the political radar. To cover rent, food, travel and any other living costs, students can borrow up to £5,555 outside London and £7,751 for students in London. Not to beat about the bush, it's not going to be enough, and the assumption is that parents will contribute the rest. But parents might not have enough money either. A survey from financial data firm Experian in the autumn showed many parents have to find an extra £5,000 per year - and many are struggling. Many families don't have much spare disposable income. And unlike the deferred debt of the tuition fee, the costs of rent, food, books and travel have to be paid in upfront cash. When the BBC reported on such concerns there was a deluge of emails from families, already financially stretched, worried about this unexpected cost. There are grants - but they don't stretch far up the income levels. If parents' combined incomes reach more than £42,600 the amount of grant on offer is zero. For the purposes of student grants, two parents earning £21,300 each per year would be treated as being in the super-rich bracket and their children get nothing. And that means many students have to depend on the loan, supplemented by what their parents can afford or they can raise from jobs alongside their studying. But why isn't there much of a fuss over this? It must partly be that there's no real voice for parents in this debate. There is no National Union of Parents to complain that very moderate earners - the squeezed middle - are lumped in with the highly paid. And student leaders have staked their campaign so much on £9,000 fees that it feels sometimes as if they've looked the other way on living costs. There's also the politics. Allowing a more realistic level of borrowing would mean pushing up the overall debt level. The remorseless maths of headlines would add the tuition fee to higher loans to come up with a terrifying total. It might be more honest, but it wouldn't be the message that politicians would want to send. Coincidentally, when the sky-high annual costs of US universities are quoted, these figures usually include food and accommodation as well as tuition fees. And if you're bashing the government for charging too much in fees, it's a complex argument that another form of student debt should be increased at the same time. It would also be more expensive for the government, as they would have even more long-term lending to students. But that in turn raises another point. The big spending on student finance doesn't actually go to students. The £9,000 tuition fee, underwritten by the government, is paid direct to the universities. The biggest warning on the lack of funding for living costs has come from university chiefs. In defence of keeping tuition fees at £9,000, Universities UK this week argued that the focus should not be on reducing fees, but in raising maintenance support. "A better way of supporting students, especially those from poorer backgrounds, would be for the government to provide greater financial support for living costs," a group of vice chancellors wrote to The Times Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute, cautions that the current loan system is relatively generous compared with many other countries, where many more students might live at home. "It's the cost of having a national higher education system in which people typically move away from home to study," he says. But the intense focus on the £9,000 paid to universities means that the amount students actually have to live on rarely gets discussed. And the underlying issues rarely get debated. Should students, who are all legally adults, be treated as being dependent on their parents' support? Should they be the financial responsibility of parents? And what happens if parents can't or won't pay? And how was the balance reached that it costs £9,000 a year to teach a student and £5,555 for their living costs? According to the National Union of Students, financial difficulty is the "number one reason that students drop out of education". "Those who do not have the rare luxury of resorting to the 'bank of mum and dad' are increasingly being driven to work full-time alongside study where jobs can be found. "Or worse still they go into the arms of predatory pay day lenders just to make ends meet." says a spokeswoman for the National Union of Students. "We urgently need a financial support system that ensures students get what the support they need, when they need it." Some councils were showing "clear signs of financial stress", but many had "coped well" with cuts, said the National Audit Office. The government said every part of the public sector had to do its bit. Labour said ministers had taken most funding away from areas with the greatest need. And the Local Government Association warned services would "buckle under the strain" of more cuts. Most local authority funding comes from central government, with about a quarter raised through council tax. By 2016, government funding will have dropped in real terms by 37% since 2010, the National Audit Office said. While councils had tried to protect spending on social care, services like housing and leisure and culture had been given deeper cuts, it said, with "some evidence" of reduced services. Auditors are "increasingly concerned" about councils' ability to make more savings, the report said, with over half of authorities responsible for education and social care not well placed to provide the services they hope to over the next three to five years. The report said there were "significant differences" in the size of budget cuts faced by different council areas, with those that depend most on government grants the hardest hit. It also said the Department for Communities and Local Government did not monitor the impact of spending cuts "in a co-ordinated way", instead relying on other departments for alerts. As a result, it said, the government risked finding out about serious problems "only after they have occurred". NAO head Sir Amyas Morse said: "The department really needs to be better informed about the situation on the ground among local authorities across England, in a much more active way, in order to head off serious problems before they happen." Local Government Minister Kris Hopkins said local government made up a quarter of all public spending. The government continued to deliver a "fair settlement" to every part of the country, he said. "The reality is since 2010 budgets have been balanced, council tax has fallen by 11% in real-terms and public satisfaction with local government has been maintained." Mr Hopkins said councils still had to do more to "cut waste and make sensible savings". Labour's shadow local government secretary Hilary Benn said: "This report reveals the true impact of the decisions David Cameron's government has made, with housing and leisure facilities having taken the biggest hit." He said ministers were "out of touch" with the pressures faced by councils. The LGA said council services had faced deeper cuts than any other part of the public sector. It said: "This report paints a stark picture of increasing financial risk and uncertainty for local authorities. It shows that central government has not taken a comprehensive approach to assessing the impact of its decisions." Taibu, 32, played 28 Test matches and 150 one-day internationals for Zimbabwe prior to retiring in 2012. "When he explained who he was I thought it was a hoax," Hightown publicity officer Nick Gordon said. "The conversation developed, we got references from people in the game in Zimbabwe and we've talked ever since. It's a real coup for us." The wicketkeeper-batsman could make his debut for the Second Division side when they play Alder on 24 April. Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside, Gordon said Taibu approached the club after they had advertised for an overseas player for the summer. "It's not every day that a club like Hightown St Mary's signs a player like Tatenda," Gordon said. "I had to do a double take, it was so unusual. We put out an advert for young players but he said 'I'm not a young player, I'm a retired Test cricketer.' "This guy has played at an incredibly high standard of cricket and we are happy to take the risk. Even if he hasn't picked up a bat since 2012, he will be more than sufficient for our needs this summer." Signing the former international, who scored 1546 runs in 28 Test matches, also came as a shock to Hightown's players as well as their rivals. "It was utter disbelief at the beginning," Gordon explained. "The players thought it was a wind-up but, over time, people are excited about him coming over. It's not every day we get this opportunity at club level. "There's certainly some envious eyes - I've seen some comments on Twitter asking how on earth we pulled it off. But people are looking forward to playing against him. "These are guys who work nine-to-five, Monday-to-Friday, and they're going to turn up on a Saturday and play against an international Test captain. "It's great for local cricket as well." But with the report's release coinciding with Eid al-Fitr festivities and most media operating below full capacity, reaction has been muted both in traditional and social media. Some pan-Arab TV stations such as Al-Jazeera gave the story top billing with numerous breaking news captions, live coverage of Sir John Chilcot's statements and of a protest against former Prime Minister Tony Blair in London. Iran's state-run rolling news channel IRINN interrupted a news segment to broadcast Prime Minister's Questions live from the House of Commons, and stressed that the report was published after years of delay. How did social media users in the region respond to the report's release? An Arabic hashtag #Chilcot_Report was used on social media where some users lamented what they described as better days, before the "senseless" war. Iraqi journalist Othman al-Mokhtar tweeted: "One year before the occupation, Iraq launched an airspace studies centre in Baghdad/Al-Mathanna airport. That centre now is a headquarters for the (Shia) Al-Da'wa (Call) Party where the rituals of wailing and slapping are performed." Another Iraqi journalist, Zyaad al-Senjary, tweeted: "Had Blair not been the ruler of the UK and Bush not the ruler of the US, there could have been a country called #Iraq where people were safe and did not suffer from killing and the displacement of millions." Saddam Hussein's daughter, Raghed Saddam Hussein shared a photo on Facebook of her father, who was executed during Eid al-Fitr. She wrote: "Our holidays are holidays of blood and martyrdom. May God bless you, my father." It is "a day 30 million Iraqis and millions more love to see!! Sadly, no law can bring back the dead victims", tweeted @IraqSurveys. Calls to punish Tony Blair and former US President George Bush were also expressed. "After 13 years, the Chilcot Inquiry has said that the invasion of Iraq wasn't right!!! Shouldn't you have punished yourselves instead of publishing these hollow dossiers???", the director of programming at Beirut's Al-Ghad TV, Akram Khuzam, posted on Facebook. Abd al-Bari Atwan, editor-in-chief for Lebanon's Ra'i al-Yawm, retweeted a widely-circulated image of George Bush and Tony Blair dummies holding money with bloodied hands. In response one Twitter user wrote: "The conclusion: Tony Blair is a devil who laughed at everyone." "So Britain is admitting that it was not right to invade Iraq. After what?" said a sarcastic post on Facebook by Abdul Rahman Majid, an Arabic student at Baghdad University. A Kurdish rights campaigner, @Hevallo, tweeted that the invasion gave Turkey an excuse to commit war crimes against Kurds: "POST #CHILCOT UK MUST STOP ACQUIESCING in WAR CRIMES AGAINST KURDS BY #TURKEY!". Arab leaders also come in for some criticism. A user who identified himself as an Iraqi journalist tweeted that while Mr Blair and Mr Bush had been condemned by their peoples and history, in his opinion, what was needed was "the apology of Arabs who should try to make up for their sin by liberating Iraq from Safavids [a reference to Shias] and stopping the waterfall of blood". Al-Samarrai Emad, who says he is a Baghdad-based blogger, hopes the report won't lead to compensation being paid to the Iraqi government, "which consists of militias" as "the remaining Iraqis will also get killed". An Algerian journalist tweeted: "It is a good thing that Britain formed the Chilcot committee for the Iraqi war and Blair's role in it. But who... opened the borders, received the armies and funded the invasion of Iraq?" One user says the invasion saved Iraq from Syria's fate. "Those who say #Iraq would be better if #Saddam was still in power, well have a look at #Syria, where a dictator is still in power.#Kurdistan," a Kurdish user tweeted in English. Another, Neem al-Zubaydi, who identifies himself as a professor at Kufa University, criticised Al-Jazeera TV for airing live the toppling of Saddam Hussein and the fall of Baghdad in 2003, and allegedly glorifying the late Iraqi president.

Van Houten has been denied parole 19 times before over the 1969 deaths of Leno La Bianca and his wife Rosemary. Governor Jerry Brown will now decide whether to release Van Houten. A former homecoming queen, Van Houten was the youngest Manson follower to be convicted of murder. She has been seen as the most sympathetic of Charles Manson's followers. "She's been ready for this for a long time,'' said her lawyer Rich Pfeiffer, after the parole board made its recommendation. "It really should have happened a long time ago." Prosecutors at the time likened Manson to a cult leader and said he controlled his followers using drugs and other means. Van Houten, then 19, held down Rosemary La Bianca while someone else stabbed her and she later admitted she stabbed the woman after she was dead. "I don't let myself off the hook. I don't find parts in any of this that makes me feel the slightest bit good about myself," she said on Thursday. Since her conviction, Van Houten, now 66, completed college degrees and demonstrated exemplary behaviour. "The only violent thing she has ever done in her entire life was this crime and that was under the control of Charles Manson," Van Houten's lawyer, Rich Pfeiffer told the Associated Press before the hearing. "She is just not a public safety risk, and when you are not a public safety risk, the law says you shall be released." The La Bianca killings came a day after other followers of Charles Manson carried out the grisly murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others. Manson, who directed but did not take part in the murders, thought the killings would start a race war, called "Helter Skelter" after a Beatles song. Tate's sister, Debra has fought against the release of Manson and his followers including Van Houten, although Van Houten was not involved in the Tate murders. Debra Tate said Van Houten did not show remorse for years. Jane Haining's jewellery will be analysed by expert John Benjamin for a special episode of the programme to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. He will share his professional opinion with her two nieces, Deirdre McDowell and Jane McIvor, from Northern Ireland. Miss Haining died at the notorious camp in 1944, aged 47. She had been arrested by the Nazis for looking after Jewish girls at the Scottish Mission School in Budapest, Hungary, which was run by the Church of Scotland. Her handwritten will, a copy of the last letter she wrote while imprisoned in the concentration camp and photographs, will also feature on the programme. Taking part was an emotional experience for the two sisters from Londonderry, whose mother Agnes O'Brien was the matron's half-sister. They grew up hearing stories about their aunt who repeatedly refused orders from the Church to return home after World War Two broke out because "her girls needed her in days of darkness". Mrs McDowell described her aunt as "courageous, very determined, considerate and kind". "She followed the Christian example by looking after and caring for vulnerable children," she said. "Our family is honoured and humbled by Jane's actions. Her story is an example to us all and must continue to be told to benefit the next generation because the world should never forget the Holocaust." The BBC One programme was filmed at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London and features testimonies that uncover stories and belongings from more than 100 British Holocaust survivors and camp liberators. In a break from tradition, the BBC decided not to put a value on the artefacts that featured on the programme. Reflecting on the occasion, Mrs McIvor added: "It was a very moving day and a great honour to be here amongst people who have tremendous stories of courage and resilience. "Jane was an amazing woman and did such tremendous work at the Scottish Mission in Budapest. "She lived a life of faith and was a loving person who put everyone else first. "I was named after Jane Haining so I consider her a guide and mentor. If we can do anything, in any small measure, that Jane did our world would be a different and much better place." Miss Haining was posthumously named as Righteous Among the Nations in Jerusalem's sacred Yad Vashem in 1997 and awarded a Hero of the Holocaust medal by the UK Government in 2010. A new heritage centre will be opened at Dunscore Church, near Dumfries, later this year which will celebrate the life of Miss Haining, who was born at nearby Lochanhead farm in 1897. Antiques Roadshow will be broadcast on BBC One at 19:30 on Sunday, 15 January, and afterwards on the BBC iPlayer. The firm also said it would post a $950m (£646m) writedown, part of which is to cover redundancy payments. A union official suggested the firm had cancelled plans to manufacture further handsets of its own, although this has not been confirmed. The move comes just two years after the US company paid $7.2bn for Nokia's handset business. Last week, a study indicated Windows-powered handsets accounted for less than 1% of global smartphone sales over the first three months of the year. Microsoft is also in the process of selling its Nokia-branded feature phones business. Microsoft said up to 1,350 of the job cuts would be made in Finland as a result of the latest announcement. "My understanding is that Windows 10 will go on as an operating system, but there will be no more phones made by Microsoft," said a union representative. A statement issued by Microsoft's chief executive did not make clear if this was indeed the case. "We will continue to innovate across devices and on our cloud services across all mobile platforms," said Satya Nadella. The company has promised to provide more information when it posts an earnings update in July. But one expert said he still believed it still had plans for new handsets. "The writing has been on the wall for some time about Microsoft's remaining smartphone operations in Finland," said Ben Wood from the CCS Insight consultancy. "But Nadella's vision for Windows 10 is predicated on delivering the operating system to any screen, whether its a watch, a giant TV or a phone. "So, Microsoft will continue to support smartphone licensees - including Alcatel, Acer and HP - for as long as it can. "And I think we will eventually see a Surface-branded phone emerge as well. "But that will be so Microsoft can show what the art-of-the-possible is for business-targeted devices - similar to what it has done with its Surface tablets and laptop - rather than trying to sell tens of millions of units itself to consumers." He was arrested in County Armagh on Tuesday. Mr O'Hare, 60, is wanted over alleged offences including grievous bodily harm, false imprisonment, threats to kill and violent disorder The offences are alleged to have happened in Dublin on 9 June 2015. A judge told Belfast Recorders' Court in that Mr O'Hare would be released on bail once a £20,000 cash surety is lodged. He is also banned from leaving Northern Ireland and must report to police daily. The alleged offences relate to an incident at Garters Lane in Saggart, south Dublin in June last year. As the ex-republican has confirmed he does not consent to extradition, a full hearing is due to take place next month. Lawyers for the Irish authorities opposed his release until then, claiming Mr O'Hare could flee. They argued that he is being sought in connection with serious offences of violence and intimidation. The court was also told that Mr O'Hare is accused of being the leader of a gang involved in a "terrifying" incident. When Gardaí (Irish police) arrived, Mr O'Hare and five others allegedly escaped through a nearby golf club. CCTV recordings and witness recognition evidence were said to form part of the case against him. Although no further details of the alleged offences were disclosed, a lawyer for Mr O'Hare rejected claims they were serious enough to suspect he would go on the run. The judge ruled that because Mr O'Hare's Irish passport is with the authorities, there were enough safeguards in place to grant bail. She also told the court that Mr O'Hare is forbidden from leaving Northern Ireland without the court's consent. The 65-year-old has been out of work since leaving Old Trafford in May. On Monday, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf said Van Gaal had ended his coaching career, with the sudden death of his son-in-law influencing his decision. But he told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser that although retiring was a possibility, it is not "definitive". The Dutchman also revealed he had turned down the opportunity to coach struggling Spanish club Valencia last month. "Whether I continue or not will also depend on the offers I get," he added. "I've coached many clubs and I think it's very difficult to improve on that level of clubs. "It's not true that I've retired, not at this moment, but I'll decide at the end of my sabbatical, next June or July." Van Gaal won seven national titles with Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and AZ before being appointed Manchester United boss in May 2014. He guided the Red Devils to the FA Cup, as well as a fifth-place finish in the Premier League, before being replaced by Jose Mourinho. The man, aged 70, was working on a farm near East Linton, East Lothian, when the accident happened at about 15:30. Police and fire crews tried to free him, but officers said he died at the scene. A Police Scotland spokesman said there were no suspicious circumstances. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will carry out an investigation to establish what happened. Two days of talks have resulted in a deal to cut prices as well as ensure the whole grid is supplied, sources at governing body the FIA said. In return for lower prices, it was agreed F1 would stick with the existing V6 turbo hybrid engines until at least 2020. Details are still being finalised, with the intention for the new regulations to come into force in 2018. Four engine manufactures - Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault and Honda - supply the power units for the 11 teams on the grid. In a further measure to help reduce costs, it has been agreed that drivers will be limited to three gearboxes per season - down from the current limit of five. The lower price at which engines will be sold in the future has not been made public at this stage. The FIA was aiming at a figure in the region of £7.9m to £9.5m, down from the current cost of around £13.8m to £17.7m, and it is believed this target has been reached. The agreement also brings an end to the threat of the introduction of a cheaper alternative engine, sources say. This was rejected by teams last autumn after being proposed by F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone and FIA president Jean Todt following a failure to agree a cap on the cost of customer engines. However, the possibility of Todt and Ecclestone enforcing a change remained - at least in theory - after the FIA voted last month to give them power to make necessary changes to keep costs under control. Insiders say this was in reality an empty threat as teams would have taken legal action had anything been introducing outside the agreed rule-making protocol, which is written into the teams' contracts. The push for an alternative engine followed the crisis Red Bull found itself in last season. The team's factory relationship with Renault came to an end in 2015 amid acrimony on both sides and they were unable to secure a supply from rivals Mercedes, Ferrari and Honda. Red Bull have a stop-gap solution for 2016, using a Renault engine badged with the name of a sponsor to de-emphasise the partnership in a year that sees the French car manufacturer return as a team owner in its own right after buying Lotus. But Red Bull's deal is only for one year, and the former champions still have to secure an engine supply for 2017. Mr Vaz, 59, quit as Home Affairs Select Committee chairman in September after the paper claimed he paid for the services of two male escorts. According to the newspaper, the MP indicated to one of the men that he would pay for cocaine, although he said he would not use the drug himself. No-one has been charged, police said. The Metropolitan Police Service's special enquiry team began an assessment process to see "what criminal offences - if any - may have been committed". On Friday, a force spokesman said: "Following that assessment, which included obtaining early investigative advice from the Crown Prosecution Service, the MPS started an investigation in November. "During the investigation new information was received and additional advice obtained from the CPS, following which the MPS has made the decision to close the investigation with no person being charged." The Sunday Mirror story in September included photographs and secret recordings it said were of Mr Vaz with the sex workers in a north London flat that he owns. Drugs, including cocaine, were mentioned during a secretly-recorded conversation. The recording also included a discussion about using a party drug known as poppers. Mr Vaz had opposed government attempts to criminalise the drug. Ministers later announced it would remain within the law. Following the initial allegations, Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said he would be writing to Scotland Yard calling for Mr Vaz to be investigated for misconduct in a public office and conspiracy to supply controlled substances. Scotland Yard launched an investigation last month after receiving a letter asking officers to look into the matter. Mr Vaz, the Leicester East MP and a married father-of-two, resigned as chairman of the influential Home Affairs Select Committee two days after the Sunday Mirror's report. He previously said in a statement: "I welcome a full investigation as a means of establishing the true facts and I am confident the police will pursue all lines of enquiry. "I will cooperate with the investigation in any way I can." He joined the Commons justice committee in October. Media playback is not supported on this device Broad stood his ground when umpire Aleem Dar somehow failed to spot a thick edge to Michael Clarke at slip off the bowling of Ashton Agar. Broad and Ian Bell added a further 29 runs to their unbroken 108-run stand to help England reach 326-6 in their second innings, for a lead of 261 at the end of day three at Trent Bridge. Pietersen said: "Each and every player that plays for their country, club side, county, province or franchise has the opportunity to wait for the decision the umpire makes, and you respect the umpire's decision. "The rules say that it's 'in the opinion of the umpire' so it's above things like 'The Spirit of the Game'. I don't see bowlers asking you back when the ball is sliding down leg." "We play hard, we play fair and each individual makes his own judgement in the middle. Aleem Dar is a fantastic umpire and has been rated one of the best over the past few years. Wait and respect his decision." The controversial moment occurred deep into the final session of a nerve-wracking day in which the momentum shifted frequently between the teams. Australia captain Clarke, who could not not challenge the decision having already used his two referrals, looked incensed and exchanged words with umpire Dar, while coach Darren Lehmann shook his head in astonishment. In the post-match news conference, however, Australia fast bowler Peter Siddle played the incident down. "It just happened. It's the umpire's decision, you take it and you just keep going on," he said. "You just finish the over and go through to the next over. There wasn't a big deal made out of it, we just went about our business. "How many people have ever walked? At the end of the day it's the umpire's decision and players stick with it." Broad's actions were backed by his father Chris, who opened the batting for England between 1984 and 1989 and is now an ICC match referee. He told BBC Sport: "It's an Ashes Test match. I remember when [former captain] Ian Botham said to me in my first Ashes Test match in Brisbane, 'if any of you blokes walk out in the middle you'll have me to answer to' so I didn't walk. "The review system was brought in to get rid of the howler. I don't see why umpire Dar couldn't have had someone in his ear saying 'you've got that one wrong, let's just overturn that quickly.' This has been a terrific game but I think a lot will be talked about that incident, which is sad." "Stuart didn't walk and I think most players want to see an umpire give a decision. The umpire gave a not out decision, you get on with the game." The incident carried echoes of the Adelaide Ashes Test in 2010 when Clarke himself refused to walk after being caught at short leg off Pietersen. England used a referral to successfully overturn umpire Tony Hill's not out decision and Clarke, then Australia's vice-captain, later apologised on Twitter for his behaviour. Certain players, including former Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, have made a point of walking when they know they are out, regardless of the umpire's decision. BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew suggested Broad's decision not to walk could damage his standing among his peers. "There is nothing within the laws of cricket that says Broad had to depart, but when he chose not to, it became an issue for the spirit of the game," Agnew wrote in his column. "These sorts of things can scar a player for years to come, change their reputations within the game." Broad found an unlikely ally in former Australia spinner Shane Warne, however, who put the blame firmly on Dar. "You can't blame Broad for not walking. Hats off, I say if you nick it to 1st slip stand your ground & get given not out!" he wrote on Twitter. "We all make mistakes and it's a very tough job being an umpire, but when Dar continually makes crucial mistakes why does he keep getting a gig?" The incident followed the controversial dismissal of England batsman Jonathan Trott, who was given out on Thursday afternoon by the third umpire despite an error meaning the HotSpot technology - which indicates whether the ball has hit the bat - being unavailable. Pietersen denied the contentious moments would cause bad blood between the teams and insisted England were focussed on forcing home victory on Saturday. "I have no interest in what happened yesterday, no interest in what happened today," he said. "All I'm interested in what's going to happen tomorrow. We want to win this Test match." On screen Sir David was portrayed by British actor Michael Sheen, while Nixon was played by American Frank Langella. Here Morgan and Howard pay tribute to the man who inspired their Oscar-nominated film. "I was not able to develop a significant relationship but I had several opportunities to sit down and talk to him, where at a couple of those lunches he would leave you with a joke. You would be on your way out of the door and he would stop you and say 'wait' and tell a hilarious joke. He just wanted to leave you with a laugh. "I found him fascinating to be around. It is a highlight for me that when we had finished the movie he wanted to interview me, because I had grown up respecting him and his interviews. "I have a tremendous amount of respect for him as a television producer with vision. I loved that when faced with an obstacle he would tirelessly work his way around it, under it, over it, you could not stop him. "I just respected that commitment you got. Call it hubris, I think there was something almost of the entrepreneur spirit that as an American I really admired about him. He would damn the critics and carry on if he had a big idea that he cared about. He proved that with the Nixon interviews. "He absolutely paved the way for a new network, a fourth network in the US. When he was rejected by every network in the US he got together a bunch of independents, which was something nobody had really done before. He managed to publicise and eventise it and made it a huge ratings getter. He basically signalled to the TV business that there was room for another network, and he turned out to be right, it was Fox, and then there were more after that. "One of the highlights was getting to know him and I'm sad for his family." "An amazing career and a man who lived a very full life and achieved extraordinary things. "I feel I'm responsible for what was at the time one of his lesser known achievements which has now, sadly, probably eclipsed some of his better achievements because life is so reductive. I notice on the BBC News website it has got a picture of the Nixon interviews. "It was great fun to collaborate with him, to write about him. He showed unfailing generosity and his was a remarkable career. "He started out as a satirist and iconoclast and ended up a real pillar of the establishment. He made that transition with grace and good humour and remained to the very end a piercing intellect. "He was thoroughly good company and I think much underestimated and underrated by a whole generation of his colleagues at Cambridge, for whom his success was probably too conspicuous and too meteoric to be acceptably British." Notts owner Ray Trew is keen to sell to Alan Hardy, chief executive of the Paragon Group and owner of the Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club. However, Hardy could stand aside if a wealthy investor from abroad came in. While sources say Hardy believes a quick sale is best, he admits he cannot compete with billionaire finances. Trew announced last week that he was stepping down as chairman of the League Two club and that the Meadow Lane side was up for sale after his family was subjected to "foul and mindless abuse". Notts, the world's oldest Football League club, have had nine full-time managers since Trew took over from Peter Trembling six years ago. He took on debts of more than £1.5m, which were built up during the last period of foreign ownership, five months under Middle Eastern consortium Munto Finance. Notts have lost their last three matches and are 16th in League Two after 32 games. The Magpies are looking for their first home win under manager Jamie Fullarton when they host bottom side Dagenham & Redbridge on Tuesday. The former rugby league player is believed to be considering a return to Australia's NRL. But Burgess, 26, is now back training with Bath after the World Cup. "I will sit down and have a chat with him. He has gone though plenty of things but it won't be a problem," Ford told BBC Points West. Media playback is not supported on this device "We need him. He has had his time off now and hopefully he is refreshed and ready to roll his sleeves up and work hard." Bath are currently ninth in the Premiership table and were beaten 38-28 at home by Harlequins at the weekend. Since the end of the World Cup, there has been speculation that Burgess - who started for England in the key defeat to Wales - will decide to return to rugby league. And his brother Tom said on Sunday that he was "at a bit of a crossroads" over his future career. But when asked about whether Burgess would stay with Bath, Ford replied: "Yeah, what more do you want me to say?" Burgess has played 17 games for the club since joining them just over a year ago, scoring 20 points including four tries. The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust said it was with great sadness that it announced the death of Flying Officer Kenneth Astill Wilkinson AE. Mr Wilkinson, of Solihull, West Midlands, was "a true gentleman", the statement added. Battle of Britain pilots were dubbed "the few" by wartime leader Winston Churchill. Mr Wilkinson once told off Prince William for "flying choppers instead of proper aeroplanes". The light-hearted comments came during an event to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain in 2015. Source: Battle of Britain Memorial Trust Mr Wilkinson leaves a daughter, Penny, and a grandson, Piers. The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust said he had been an active member of the Battle of Britain Fighter Association (BBFA). "We shall miss him dearly," it added. Retired group captain Patrick Tootal said Mr Wilkinson was "one of the first to join the BBFA in 1958". "It was for all the navigators and pilots. He was one of the most junior members having joined us later on in the war," he added. "He always had a twinkle in his eye, and he liked a glass of red wine. We would always have a joke about it." He said there were ten members left in the association, ranging from the age of 95 to 99. The Battle of Britain has become known as a turning point for Britain during World War Two when, in 1940, Germany launched an attack on Britain's sea defences. The RAF withstood the attack and Germany called off its invasion plans. Chris Nelson, 24, who was from the Midlothian area, was last seen early on Sunday 15 November. He had been in the city with his fiancée Stephanie Kollross to visit their friend. Search crews using sonar equipment found his body in an area around the Oudeschans canal. His family have been informed. He was last seen by Ms Kollross after he decided to go for a walk early in the morning after complaining he could not get to sleep. His family, who had received a text message from him about an hour before his disappearance, later travelled to Amsterdam to join the search for him and made an emotional appeal on Dutch TV. A Facebook appeal was also launched to try to trace him but on Wednesday a message was posted saying his body had been identified. It read: "It is with the deepest, saddest regret that I have to inform you all that the body pulled from the Amsterdam canal. Is that of Chris Nelson. "Chris's family would again like to thank everyone for their support but would appreciate some privacy at this time." Rennes revealed the 25-year-old has signed a contract with the Ligue 1 side for two-and-a-half years. Erasmus, who has had spells playing in Europe for Dutch sides Feyenoord and Excelsior Rotterdam, leaves Pirates after playing 51 games and scoring 13 goals over three seasons with the club. He has won eight caps for South Africa, having made his debut in 2010. One of the officers, identified by local media as Chang Chih-hsin, was the former political warfare head of the meteorology and oceanography office. The Defence Ministry has said that Mr Chang did not leak sensitive material. But local media warn his department handled highly classified data, including maps for submarines, hidden ambush zones and coastal defence areas. "Chang, who initiated contacts with Chinese mainland officials while still serving in the navy, was suspected of luring his former colleagues and making illegal gains," the Defence Ministry said in a statement. The ministry had been investigating Mr Chang even before he retired in May and visited China in August, reports say. While a Defence Ministry spokesman has confirmed the arrest of three former military officials, other media reports say that a total of eight officers have been arrested. The case is raising questions about the increasing practice in recent years of Taiwan's retired officers, including generals, visiting China, says the BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei. Relations with China may be at their best in decades, but officials in Taiwan say there has been no reduction in spying by Beijing, our correspondent adds. In July 2011, an army general was jailed for life for selling military secrets to China - the highest-ranking officer involved in espionage in decades. Taiwan and China have been governed separately since the end of the civil war in 1949. Lachlann Armstrong said the liferaft on the crab boat Louisa failed to inflate and he and the three other fishermen did what they could to make it float. The 27-year-old eventually swam towards shore, which was within sight, and was rescued by a lifeboat. Two other men died and one is missing after Saturday's incident off Mingulay. The crewmen who died have been named locally as Chris Morrison, from the Isle of Harris, and Martin Johnston, from Caithness. Isle of Barra's lifeboat crew have begun organising an effort to search for the missing man. An appeal has been posted on Facebook asking for volunteers from the Uists and Eriskay. Mr Armstrong described how the sleeping crew had woken up in the early hours of Saturday to find the boat was flooding. He said the lifeboat was in the wheelhouse, which remained above the surface for a while as the anchored boat sank. "It would not inflate," he said. "We had to cut the box open with a knife and then spread the un-inflated rubber out. "All of the four of us worked as a team together to try and make some kind of raft." The crew used buoys and other items in an attempt to keep the raft afloat. "The water was so cold and we were all immersed in the water," he said. "The raft never inflated - that's the reason why we weren't out of the water. Being that cold you know the only way you can survive is to get out of the water." Mr Armstrong said the combined weight of all the men on the raft was not helping the situation and he "made the choice to try to go for land". "I didn't know if I'd make it," he said. "I thought perhaps leaving the other two boys with the raft they'd have more of a chance to get on to the raft themselves. "I have no idea how I found the strength to keep going." Mr Armstrong added: "A lot went through my mind and when I did finally reach the rocks I was convinced, I was convinced, the rest of them would be OK. To hear that they were all gone - it still hasn't sunk in. "It's hard to explain exactly how I feel - the relief at being alive but at the same time the regrets and the sympathies I have for the families involved in the incident. "It is heartbreaking. It will never leave me, it's just so tragic." Mr Armstrong praised the actions of the emergency services and staff at Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway, in Lewis, where he was taken. Two figures in the church raised concerns about Peter Ball but were urged to keep quiet or saw no action taken, it has emerged. And a couple who worked for now-jailed Ball, former bishop of Lewes and Bishop of Gloucester, said they also tried to raise concerns but were ignored. Ball's offending is the subject of an independent review and a national inquiry is looking at Church abuse. The retired bishop was jailed in October for a string of offences against teenagers and young men. Cliff James said he told a member of clergy in 1992 that Ball had abused him. But he said the person later received phone calls from three bishops who urged her to make sure he and another alleged victim did not talk to police or the media. Mr James, who waived his right to anonymity after Ball admitted assaults against him, believes senior clergy were more concerned with the Church's reputation than the victims. Another person in the church who helped one of Ball's victims said they tried to raise concerns with 13 different bishops who appeared to take no action. Michael and Christine Moss, who worked as Ball's gardener and housekeeper in Gloucester, said they tried to raise concerns with bishops but were ignored. Mr Moss said: "What upsets me so much is the Church did nothing." BBC South East's special correspondent Colin Campbell said he discovered three police forces sought access to correspondence and files about Ball held by the Church over 20 years, but an investigation only began in 2012 when Sussex Police gained information from Lambeth Palace. In October, the BBC correspondent asked the Bishop of Chichester Dr Martin Warner whether he would consider it to be a cover-up if a bishop urged a member of clergy who was in contact with an abuse victim to stay quiet. Bishop Martin replied: "Yes I would and by today's standards, in terms of our practice today, that would immediately be the trigger for disciplinary action." Church safeguarding adviser Edi Carmi said while she could not evaluate the veracity of the BBC's information, it pointed to "people in the Church who didn't inform the police of allegations and did not encourage people abused or alleging abuse to talk and it seems discouraged it". The Archbishop of Canterbury has launched an independent review into abuse by Ball. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse is also investigating abuse within the Anglican Church. Conductors plan to strike on Tuesday in a dispute between Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and the RMT union. Shadow Transport Secretary Lilian Greenwood said ministers had ruled out cancelling a failing franchise and forfeited the chance to improve it. But Rail Minister Claire Perry said poor performance brought penalties. The union is in dispute with Southern over the introduction of driver-only operation (DOO) trains on which guards would no longer open and close doors but would still be on trains. GTR has said DOO is safe because the driver can view CCTV in the cab and some 40% of Southern trains already have the system. But RMT members believe the rail operator intends to remove guards from trains completely, a move it claims would be "catastrophic for safety". Ms Greenwood said: "Passengers are enduring the worst delays in the country. Fares are up 25% and the promised investment looks further away than ever. "By ruling out cancelling the franchise, ministers are forfeiting the chance to place any meaningful pressure on the company to improve performance." She said there was a genuine debate about the best way to provide safe services and industrial relations between GTR and the union were in "a terrible place". Ms Perry said: "The operator is not being let off the hook and the franchise agreement contains clear penalties for repeated poor performance. "Changing the management would delay the improvements already being made, such as longer trains and more regular services, and would create a period of uncertainty that would not be in passengers' best interests." The RMT union said has said the operator has "only" been fined £2m for poor performance - General Secretary Mick Cash claimed the government had minimised penalties on GTR. A GTR spokesman said: "Fines levied on GTR's business bite deeply into our extremely tight profit margins. Last year we made a loss and the forecast profit for the life of the franchise has just been halved to 1.5%." Southern's Chief Executive Officer Charles Horton said in full-page newspaper adverts the walkout will cause "significant" disruption. He said the strike was unnecessary and followed weeks of unprecedented levels of sickness absence among employees. The union said it had "no option but to strike" in order to stop the attempt to drive guards off Southern services. The bone was discovered on Monday, close to junction 45 of the M1, West Yorkshire Police said. A spokesperson said: "Initial indications are that it is a human bone, and a scene guard remains in place." The force said it was not in a position to release any further details. More on this and other stories from across Yorkshire Delhi's relations with Tehran are multi-faceted and complex. The two countries share centuries-old cultural and linguistic links. In modern times, the relationship is more economic and strategic. Tehran was the second biggest supplier of crude oil to India until 2011-12. Iran is also strategically located in the Gulf, and it offers an alternative trade route to Afghanistan and to Central Asia. India is home to the world's second highest Shia population, next only to Iran. Iran's influence over an estimated 45 million Shias in India is regarded as significant. With Iran emerging after international sanctions, it offers great investment opportunities to Indian companies. But the bilateral ties suffered setbacks following international sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear programme. As successive Indian governments moved closer to the US, their Iran policy took a back seat, much to the displeasure of the Iranians. Iranians were dismayed when India voted against their country at a vote in the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2009. Then India significantly reduced oil imports from Tehran following US pressure. "That was a bitter lesson for the Iranians. They understood that India would not take Iran's side on any dispute and India would not sacrifice its relations with the US and the West for Iran," says Fatemeh Aman, an Iran-South Asia affairs analyst based in the US. During his first two years at office, Mr Modi focused more on India's immediate neighbourhood and Indian Ocean rim countries. Relations with the United States and the west were given a priority. "There is very clear sense in India that he has to engage more with Muslim countries in the region, in the extended neighbourhood. Mr Modi has already been to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and planning to visit Qatar. "The visit to Iran comes as part of the strategy," says Rahul Roy-Chaudhury, Senior Fellow for South Asia at the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London. When the international sanctions were in place, India could not pay for the oil it had imported from Iran. It still owes $6.5bn in unpaid dues and Delhi is still finding a way to facilitate the payment. Western banks are still reluctant to do business with Iran when some of the US sanctions are still in place. India is aware that China is making inroads into Iran to rebuild the economy devastated by the sanctions. The Chinese president, Xi Jinping, visited Iran in January this year to firm up business ties. Beijing is already Iran's largest trading partner. Profile: Narendra Modi With the security situation in Afghanistan deteriorating, India is also looking to find various ways to maintain its foothold in the war-torn nation to counter Pakistani influence. With the land route to Afghanistan through Pakistan unavailable, it's looking at Iran to trade with Afghanistan. India is investing more than $150m to develop Chabahar port in south-eastern Iran. It hopes the port will give a transit route to Afghanistan. In the future, it also wants to bring gas from Central Asia and then transport it to India. The project will also give sea access to Afghanistan. "From India's perspective, Chabahar port is a gateway to Afghanistan. From Chabahar there is a road which goes all the way to Afghanistan and it will link up with a road which India has already built inside Afghanistan. In a way, India is ensuring that there could be no exit strategy from Afghanistan," says Mr Roy-Chaudhury. Mr Modi plans to visit Kabul in June and he is expected to sign a trilateral trade agreement with Iran and Afghanistan for Chabahar port. During his meeting with the Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, Mr Modi would want to assure that India is keen to establish deeper and long-standing ties. But Iranians may be a bit wary given their past experience. Bob, named after the fireman that rescued him, was found trapped on river mud flats in King's Lynn in June. The common seal pup was released back in to The Wash on Wednesday. Firefighter Rob Donnelly, who made the rescue, said: "It's fantastic to see Bob made a good recovery, we weren't sure how long he would last." The seal pup got separated from his mother because of high tides and a strong current. Mr Donnelly, from King's Lynn's Red Watch, said: "This was not an easy rescue. Working on mud is never easy, it's like walking on stodgy oil. "He wasn't in a good way at all when we got to him - he looked like he was asleep. I put a towel over him and brought him to the bank." Source: BBC Nature Bob, thought by experts to only be a week old when he was rescued, needed to be fed a diet of fish soup through a tube every three hours by staff at the East Winch Wildlife Centre to aid his recovery. Alison Charles, RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre manager, said: "He took a lot of rehab as he was a small, abandoned pup - but now he's strong, fit and healthy and ready to go back. "Our staff were called out to rescue him but they took one look at the mud and the state of the river and said, 'not for us'. "The fire service came to rescue him for us - he had a very exciting beginning to being in the centre." Weighing a healthy 35kg, Bob was released back into the wild with two other seals on Wednesday where experts believe he will join the other seals on sandbanks in the middle of The Wash. Mr Donnelly said: "To hear that Bob is now well enough to return to the sea is great news and I wish him well." Crolla lost his WBA lightweight title to Jorge Linares in September 2016 and the Englishman was also beaten by the Venezuelan in a March rematch. Burns' last outing saw the Scot lose his WBA super-lightweight title to Julius Indongo in April. "I'm not going to say the loser has nowhere to go, but it's going to be a tough road back," said Crolla. "We're both coming off losing our world titles and the incentive is to win the fight and get back in the frame." The venue in Crolla's home city remains closed following the suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May, which killed 22 people. Burns said: "When I held world titles at super-featherweight and lightweight, Crolla's name was always mentioned but it never happened. "He's a great guy and a great fighter, I don't think you'll get much trash talk in the build-up. The best man will win on the night." An incident log by a beach safety officer after two of the men died last July noted an increase in the level of naivety among beach-goers. Robert Cass stated "predominantly non-British visitors" were not taking their personal safety seriously enough. The hearing is also considering the deaths of five friends a month later. Mr Cass pointed to large groups of people from ethnic communities travelling to the East Sussex beach from London, causing beach staff to take "adaptive measures". He told the coroner, Alan Craze, he thought it was important for people to be educated about beach safety before they arrived. "The most valuable form of engagement is verbal interaction," he added. He told the coroner he feared another tragedy at Camber Sands. Live: More news from Sussex The inquest in Hastings also heard the RNLI had recommended lifeguards be stationed on Camber Sands three years before last summer's deaths. The charity carried out a risk assessment in 2013 after a death and a number of near misses in 2012. The hearing learned that the RNLI had offered to deploy lifeguards, but the offer was not taken up. It was also told about another death at the beach in 2015. How to stay safe at the beach Before the deaths of the seven men, Camber Sands had no lifeguard cover. Beach patrol staff's tasks included reuniting lost children with parents and dealing with lost property. Mr Cass was asked why the recommendation that lifeguards be deployed was not acted upon. He replied: "That was a decision made over my head." Mr Cass compared his position to that of a police constable using resources given to him by his superiors. On Tuesday, the inquest heard a request to the RNLI to provide lifeguards made 16 days before the five friends' death was rejected by the charity because of a lack of resources. Kenugen Saththiyanathan, 18, known as Ken, died alongside his brother Kobikanthan Saththiyanathan, 22, known as Kobi, both from Erith, south east London. Their three friends, who also died on 24 August, were Nitharsan Ravi, 22, from Plumstead, Inthushan Sriskantharasa, 23, from Grays, Essex, and Gurushanth Srithavarajah, 27, from Welling. The inquest has previously heard all five were fit, healthy and competent swimmers, with some having visited the beach at Camber before without incident. On 24 July, Mohit Dupar, 36, from Hayes, west London, attempted to reach Brazilian Gustavo Silva Da Cruz, 19, after he got into difficulty. Mr Silva Da Cruz died at the scene. Mr Dupar died in hospital four days later. The deaths prompted calls for improved safety at Camber, resulting in Rother District Council agreeing in February to allocate £51,000 in its 2017/18 budget to bring in seasonal lifeguard cover from this summer. But council officials have said the beach, which is three miles (4.8km) long and nearly half-a-mile (700m) wide at low tide, could never be completely risk-free. The inquest continues. Driven by a mantra of "one more year", it never occurred to founders Tom Rack, Ali Williams, Dave Id, Peter Gregory and Richie Turner that they could keep their company going for much longer. Initially fuelled by the political climate of Thatcher's Britain, NoFit State Circus has now grown into one of the UK's longest-running contemporary circuses, celebrating its 30th birthday on 1 January. "Everything escalated - it got a little bit out of control," said Tom Rack, now a creative director for the company. Many of those early days were "so much of a haze," he said, so to help preserve those early memories, NoFit State has launched a new archive detailing their history. The friends first began juggling together at university, in a juggling club run by film puppeteer Toby Philpott, famous for his work in films such as Return of the Jedi and The Dark Crystal. "To have an official juggling club was a great excuse to get minibuses from the university so we could go to festivals, so we did a lot of that," said Mr Rack. "We started street performing and doing little shows, so we might even get paid a little bit." The group taught themselves other skills including using unicycles, stilts and tumbling, making the most of skill-sharing opportunities at circus festivals where they met like-minded people from across the UK. When university finished, instead of going their separate ways, the five friends decided "let's do this for a year, let's just have a go". "As young people in the 1980s, we were coming out of university with no jobs in Thatcher's Britain, with terribly high unemployment," said creative director Ali Williams. "We were going out on the streets to make a living really, just to top up our giro and earn enough for a few pints in the evenings." The group signed up to Margaret Thatcher's Enterprise Allowance Scheme, each taking home £40 a week to help fund their circus business, along with help from family and friends. The friends decided to take their circus act in a relatively new direction, as a "political reaction" said Ms Williams. "We wanted to do circus without animals, or red-nosed clowns, it was a political statement, so we had to use other things to make it interesting for the audience," she said. NoFit State decided to mix circus with theatre, creating a new art form based on being "able to put on a great show, wrapped up in a narrative and a theatrical construct", said Mr Rack. This new style of circus was a global movement known as "nouveau cirque", focusing on human physical skill and narrative, that manifested differently in individual countries. In the UK, new circus "involved the start of social and community circuses making circus skills available for people to learn, without any formal environment in which to perform", said Prof Ron Beadle, head of the UK & Ireland Circus Research Network. "Reg Bolton's concept of circus in a suitcase inspired a lot of people, essentially it said that anyone could do circus," he said. So just how much was the development of this new art form in the UK a reaction to the politics of the time? "To quite a large extent I think," said Toby Philpott, who has worked with NoFit State since its inception in his juggling club. "High unemployment encouraged self-employment and creativity, if you were not content to live on the dole. "There was solidarity in demonstrations, and many people had got tired of confronting the police and being accused of violence, so turning up in clown make-up to juggle at them was intended as a peaceful demo." Since the early days in the 70s and 80s, new circus has become "established as an art form," said Mr Philpott. This has changed its nature, with people "doing business plans and applying to the Lottery and the Arts Councils, before doing anything creative. "In the 80s you just went out and did it. NoFit State had enormous talent and enthusiasm, no-one thought they had to be 'qualified' before they could do anything," he said. Now, the performers in NoFit State live and work together, travelling in trucks, trailers and caravans across the country and the world. The last five years have seen the circus's professional productions tour 15 different countries with audiences of more than 250,000 people. Most recently, their Bianco show has been given a £24,000 grant from the Welsh government, allowing it to travel to New York in 2016. The circus also hosts a variety of community, training and education projects, running weekly classes with refugees and asylum seekers in Adamsdown, as well as skills workshops with children from the gypsy, Roma and traveller communities in Cardiff. With the announcement of Ms Williams' departure from the company in its anniversary year, Tom Rack will be the "last man standing" of the five founders. He hopes the company "can sustain another 30 to 50 years", continuing to tour internationally and work with communities back home, becoming "better, but not necessarily bigger, every year". "I would never want to be a machine or a production company that just keeps pushing out shows, our shows have a heart and a soul and a spirit," he said. "I think that's really important, and it comes from the collective, from the people. "We live together, we work together, we travel together, we make a show together and we take on the world together."

Rates are the property taxes paid by households and businesses in Northern Ireland. The Department of Finance has launched a review of business rates and various exemptions offered to sectors. The review also raises the possibility that a derelict land tax could be levied on development sites. Rates are the only significant tax that is controlled and spent locally in Northern Ireland. Business rates in 2014/15 raised £592m and a further £221m was forgone through various exemptions and reliefs. Part of the review examines the "continued relevance and affordability" of those exemptions. The exemption for residential homes costs just over £8m a year. The consultation states that while there may be merit in providing rate relief in relation to the care of the elderly, it is "perhaps less clear who actually benefits from this exemption". Charities benefit from £87m in rate relief, but the review states it is arguable that it is "both appropriate and affordable" for larger charities to make some contribution towards their rates. The review states that bringing derelict or "brownfield" sites into the tax base would encourage land owners to makes sites available for development. It could also discourage "land banking", whereby speculators retain land holdings in the expectation that values would rise. The review adds that it would be technically difficult to bring derelict land into the rates system, but that it could still be taxed. Peter Steen, 75, of Wrexham, had worked at homes belonging to the former Bryn Alyn Community. He was found not guilty of four assault claims and four cruelty charges on Monday at Mold Crown Court. On Tuesday, the judge formally dismissed three other charges, after the jury failed to reach verdicts. The charges all related to a period between 1978 and 1982. The prosecution was brought following investigations under the National Crime Agency inquiry (NCA), Operation Pallial. Judge Niclas Parry formally discharged the jury and the Crown Prosecution Service said there would be no retrial following consultation with a senior crown prosecutor. Judge Parry said: "In all circumstances that makes perfect sense and is fair." He formally entered not guilty verdicts on the three outstanding charges. Speaking on behalf of Mr Steen following the end of the trial, his solicitor Chris Saltrese criticised the decision to prosecute his client, and the Operation Pallial investigation. "I am delighted for Mr Steen and his family that the jury have reached the correct verdicts and my client walks away from court an innocent man," he said. "A grave miscarriage of justice was avoided in Mr Steen's case only by the even-handedness of the judge, the good sense of the jury and the great skill and determination of defence counsel. "Over the past 20 years care workers all over the United Kingdom, but in north Wales in particular, have been demonised by those who do not know the first thing about looking after challenging young people in care. "It is now time for this persecution to stop." An NCA spokesman said it accepted the jury's decision but refuted Mr Saltrese's comments. "This was a thorough and ethical investigation, which was independently reviewed by the Crown Prosecution Service," he added. "Channels are available if Mr Steen wishes to make any formal complaint." Operation Pallial was set-up in November 2012 at the request of North Wales Police and the UK Home Secretary to examine fresh allegations of historical abuse at care homes in the region, and also to review past police investigations. A year ago, former hotelier and the owner of Bryn Alyn Community homes, John Allen was jailed for life sexually assaulting youngsters in a campaign of abuse spanning decades. Hummels and his side dethroned Poland at the top of Group D on Friday after a 3-1 win over their neighbours. The Germans, with three games remaining, are confident of a win in Monday's qualifier at Hampden. "I think if we play that style without mistakes we have a good chance to win this game," Hummels told BBC Scotland. "I hope it will be a great game and of course we want to win and we have to win." Scotland's failure to pick up any points in Tbilisi makes victory over the Germans a necessity if they are to retain any hope of automatic qualification. But Hummels feels the Scots were always likely to pose his side problems. "They are dangerous and it doesn't depend on how they played the last game," the Borussia Dortmund centre-back said. "We know they have a good team, a strong team and some good individual players and of course a very passionate stadium. "It will be a tough game if we let them play, if we let them have chances, the crowd will get enthusiastic and the team will always be better then." Hummels and his team-mates are a formidable unit, though, unlikely to be remotely intimidated by even the most raucous Hampden crowd. On Friday in Frankfurt, at times they looked close to the form that brought them glory in Brazil 14 months ago. "We're not back to our best but I think we had a good performance except for the last 10 or 15 minutes before half-time," Hummels continued. "Then we had some mistakes, some passes to the opponent to make it really easy for them to create chances. "So that was a point we wanted to improve in the second half and I think we did - I think we controlled the game." Fer made nine appearances on loan with the Swans last season and joins the on a three-year contract after a fee was agreed with Queens Park Rangers for the midfielder. The Netherlands international, 26, had a year to run on his QPR contract but had stated his desire to remain with Francesco Guidolin's team. Swansea are also expected to conclude a deal for Ajax's Mike van der Hoorn. Defender Hoorn, a Netherlands U21 international, is understood to have agreed personal terms. Fer joined QPR on a three-year deal from Norwich City in August 2014 for a reported £8m. He earned the first of his 11 Holland caps in 2010 and was part of the squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Fer was part of the Rangers side relegated from the Premier League in 2014-15 and suffered the same fate with Norwich in the previous season. Swansea will go into the 2016-17 season under new ownership after an American consortium bought a controlling stake in the club.

Claims that favoured people were being "parachuted" into Wales had led to anger among activists and resignations. Speaking on a BBC Wales Ask the Leader TV programme, Mr Gill said the choice of candidates was down to party members and he himself "had no say". But he said the former MPs were assets to the party with great experience. "I am the leader of UKIP in Wales but I do not have a great deal of power with, and certainly not with regard to the selection of, candidates," Mr Gill said. "The selection of candidates went to a ballot of the membership. The membership selected who they wanted in each region and the NEC approved that. "I had no say in that whatsoever. "Would I have allowed people to come in over our hardworking Welsh membership? Probably not... but it wasn't my decision. "The members have given us these candidates and therefore I back them." Mr Gill added: "Of course they've got years of experience. "Mark Reckless was an MP. He did a very brave thing when he came over to UKIP. We all recognise that. He's a very intelligent and clever man. "Of course they're an asset." Asked about his leadership of the party in Wales, Mr Gill said: "There are lots of things that frustrate me about politics and certainly UKIP and the internal wranglings of the party, let's be perfectly honest. "I've been quoted several times as saying it is like herding cats. I'm afraid that's because of all the different personalities. "We're a bit of a fiery party." Pushed on whether he would stay on as UKIP Wales leader after the referendum on Europe in June, Mr Gill said: "Absolutely." On the subject of climate change, Mr Gill said he was "very, very sceptical" that mankind had any impact and insisted no money should be spent trying to tackle global warming. "[We're] literally a bunch of people, King Canutes, thinking that we can stop the tide," he said. "The most expensive piece of legislation in British history wasn't the First World War or the Second World War - it was [former Labour energy secretary] Ed Miliband's climate change act." Bus subsidies would be cut by more than £2m as part of plans to save £6m from the Lincolnshire County Council budget. Councillor Richard Davies said the Conservative-led council would ensure communities were "not abandoned". Martin Abrams, a public transport campaigner, said a cut in bus services would be "devastating" for many people. It is estimated the cuts would affect about 160 services and mean a loss of 1.8 million bus journeys annually. Mr Davies said the council would work with operators to make best use of services. He said: "We are seeing a big reduction in the size of government grants and that has an impact on our ability to provide services like public transport. "We will provide them with a safety net for very small communities through the Call Connect service." Martin Abrams, from the Campaign for Better Transport, said: "[The cuts] will be devastating for people that rely on them across Lincolnshire. "It's absolutely heartbreaking when you hear from people who rely on buses as their lifeline. "This is where local and national politicians need to pause and recognise that there are people out there who will be completely stuck without buses." Bus passenger, Sue Sturrock, said: "[The bus] means a great deal to me. It gives you the independence you need... I have had two hip replacements and I do rely on the bus. "I go into town two or three times a week... the bus is essential for me with the way I walk." A final decision on the budget cuts will take place in the next few months. President Trump had said he was praying for the victims, but added that "states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote". But Javad Zarif said Iran "rejected such claims of friendship" and claimed the attackers from so-called Islamic State had been "backed by US clients". Thirteen people died in the attacks. Gunmen and suicide bombers targeted parliament and the mausoleum of Islamic Republic founder Ayatollah Khomeini, in an unprecedented twin assault that lasted several hours on Wednesday morning. Iran says the attackers, all of whom were killed, were Iranians who had joined IS. The militant group has threatened further assaults on Iranian Shia Muslims. In an earlier tweet, Mr Zarif appeared to blame its regional rivals for the attack, saying: "Terror-sponsoring despots threaten to bring the fight to our homeland. Proxies attack what their masters despise most: the seat of democracy." Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia - a key US ally - and Shia-majority Iran back opposing sides in conflicts across the region. The Saudi authorities have given money and weapons to hardline Islamist rebel factions seeking to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad - Iran's staunch ally. Saudi-based charities and individuals have also been accused of financing Sunni extremist groups across the region over the past two decades. President Trump visited Saudi Arabia last month and made a speech blaming Iran for regional instability. Iran's powerful Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have already accused Saudi Arabia and the US of being behind the attacks. Both countries have condemned the violence. However, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has downplayed the attack's significance, saying terrorists "fumbling with firecrackers" would not "affect the will of our nation". It comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia and other Arab states cutting ties with Qatar over alleged support for Islamist militants in the region and closer ties with Iran. Claiming the attack, IS posted a video which showed what it claimed was footage from inside the parliament building. A voice is heard saying, in Arabic: "We're not going anywhere. We're staying forever." BBC Persian's Jenny Norton says that despite Iran's active involvement in fighting IS in both Iraq and Syria, the Sunni group has not until now carried out any attacks inside Iran, and appears to have little support in this predominantly Shia country. However, our analyst says, in recent months the group has stepped up its Farsi-language propaganda efforts - targeting Iran's restive Sunni minority. Iranian intelligence agencies claim to have foiled a number of IS-inspired plots. But by mounting a successful attack, IS could claim a major coup against a traditional foe that other Sunni jihadist groups, including its rival al-Qaeda, have failed to target in the past. Middle East analyst Dina Esfandiary says one possible consequence will be increased calls by hardliners for tougher action against IS in Iraq and Syria. Public support for action in Iraq is likely to grow, as it did when IS took swathes of territory in the country in 2014. But Iran's involvement in Syria is not popular, our analyst says - it is seen as having few benefits and costing too many Iranian lives. The attacks will also boost the popularity of the Revolutionary Guards, seen as protectors of the nation. In 2013, in the time between when two homemade bombs detonated near the Boston marathon finish line and when police cornered and caught bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a conspiracy theory began to spread online. Internet sleuths, analysing pictures released by the FBI, said they saw evidence of a false flag attack - proof that the bombing had been staged or carried out by the US government. University of Washington professor Kate Starbird and some of her research team noticed these accusations on Twitter, since they were studying how rumours spread on social media during events like mass shootings and terror attacks. While other online rumours would gain traction and die away as facts became clear, the Boston false flag speculation did not abate, even after Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan were identified as the bombers.   At the time, Starbird and her team saw the conspiracy theory as something of a curiosity. "We didn't want to go there," she says. "It just seemed messy." But after taking a closer look at those rumours, she now says her research suggests there is an "emerging alternative media ecosystem" that is growing in reach, and that may have underlying political agendas. Starting in January 2016, she and her team began mapping sites generating conspiracy theories. They tracked Twitter reaction to shootings along with references to terms like "false flag" and "hoax" and the websites that used them. Starbird has dubbed what they discovered the "the information wars". The work is nominated for best paper at an international web and social media conference in Montreal this week. Highly politicised alternative narratives to events were being spread by a mishmash of websites: anti-mainstream media sites, anti-corporatist "alt-Right" and "alt-Left" sites, conspiracy-focused White Nationalist and anti-Semitic sites, Muslim Defense sites and Russian propaganda. "There are different actors," she says. "Some are (acting) for financial motives, some are for political motives. Some people are true believers." Calling her finding an "information war" is not a nod towards talk show host Alex Jones' alternative news website Infowars, which focuses on Alt-Right and conspiracy theory themes. His site rose to mainstream prominence during the 2016 American election. But she has written tongue-in-cheek that "this work suggests that Alex Jones is indeed a prophet". Looking back on their older research, they found hints of similar conspiracy activity around the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which devastated the Gulf Coast of the US. In 2016, the university researchers found sites that helped propagate these conspiracy theory tweets were often so-called "alternative media" domains like VeteransToday.com and BeforeItsNews.com. The researchers also found sites like TheRealStrategy.com, which appeared to be generating automated conspiracy theory tweets with "bots" in order to propagate politicised content. Many of the tweets had a political element. For example, a mass shooting might be blamed as a "false flag" by the US government, with speculation that the attack was planned to to gain support for gun control. Tweets also included hashtags linked to online political conversations like #obama, #nra, or #teaparty. While belief in certain conspiracy theories can be sometimes linked political beliefs, Starbird's research suggested that political content on sites pushing the alternative narratives was less about left-wing versus right-wing - no political leaning was immune - but instead had a broad anti-globalist bent. There was also plenty of anti-vaccine, anti-GMO, and anti-climate science content, as well conspiracies about the world's wealthy and powerful citizens. Starbird's research points to an intentional use of disinformation to muddle thinking and "undermine trust in information just generally". She says big questions remain, like who might be behind any possible intentional disinformation campaigns and to what extent these messages are coordinated. But she says she is concerned that as these fringe theories gain traction in the public sphere "it is not healthy for society "When there's no shared reality, there's no set of facts, society at large can become easily manipulated," she says. Two Eurofighter Typhoon jets had escorted the royal couple's chartered plane to Berlin Tegel airport, as is customary for visiting dignitaries. On landing, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh were greeted by Britain's ambassador to Germany, Sir Simon McDonald, The royals are in the country for a four-day state visit. The skies brightened briefly just before the Queen's plane touched down and taxied to a strip of red carpet and a waiting guard of honour. As the Queen left the airport, 15 motorcycle outriders led the way, forming an arrowhead, followed by a British state limousine carrying the royal couple. During their time in Germany, they will attend a state banquet, travel to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and hold a private meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The Queen and Prince Philip are responding to an invitation from German President Joachim Gauck. They will be received by President Gauck at his official residence, Bellevue Palace, on Wednesday. Prime Minister David Cameron will join them at a state banquet on Wednesday held in their honour. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will spend time in Berlin and Frankfurt before travelling to the site of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, which was liberated by the British 70 years ago. There they will meet groups of survivors and liberators, and representatives of Jewish and Christian communities. This is the Queen's seventh time in Germany. The Queen's first visit was in 1965 and the last in 2004. In 2000 she opened the new British embassy in Berlin. She has been on four previous state visits and two official visits. Mr Gauck, a human-rights campaigner and former East German dissident, became president in March 2012. Inside a private chartered plane - escorted by two fighter jets from the Luftwaffe - the Queen touched down in Germany for the seventh time in her reign. According to Sir Simon McDonald, Britain's ambassador here, the monarch stands for something Germans appreciate - continuity, stability and a sense of duty. Newspapers in Berlin have advised their readers to not take selfies; to refer to her as Your Majesty; and to consider lilac as a safe colour to wear. On the tarmac there was a 21-gun salute - the formal ceremonial welcome will be on Wednesday at the German President's palace. Read more from Peter Hunt The world number two, who has won nine of his 12 tournaments this year and all 21 hard court matches, outclassed Dutra Silva 6-2 6-1 6-0 in 92 minutes. Defending champion Serena Williams, five-time winner Roger Federer and second seed Victoria Azarenka also won. But fourth seed Sara Errani was eliminated by Flavia Pennetta. Flavia Pennetta (Ita) bt Sara Errani (Ita) [4] 6-3 6-1 Fourth seed Errani admitted she felt so weighed down by pressure that she did not want to go on the court before losing to her compatriot. Maria Sharapova's withdrawal meant the 26-year-old was elevated to fourth seed and she struggled to cope with it. "I think it's the pressure," said a tearful Errani. "I have never been in this situation. I don't want to go on the court. I don't want to go to play. I don't want to stay there on the court. I feel very bad." Serena Williams (US) [1] bt Galina Voskoboeva (Kaz) 6-3 6-0 The 16-time Grand Slam champion needed just 69 minutes to book a third-round meeting with Yaroslava Shvedova, of Kazakhstan, and has now lost only four games in two matches. Roger Federer (Swi) [7] bt Carlos Berlocq (Arg) 6-3 6-2 6-1 "It might take a few matches and next thing you know you're playing really, really good tennis again and you're close to playing some really great tennis," said Federer, who is at his lowest world ranking - seventh - since 2002. "I think that's kind of where I am right now, and that's where every match is really important to me and how I play every single point." Caroline Wozniacki (Den) [6] bt Chanelle Scheepers (RSA) 6-1 6-2 Rafael Nadal (Spa) [2] bt Rogerio Dutra Silva (Bra) 6-2 6-1 6-0 Nadal showed no sign of the injuries that have plagued him over the past two years and later said: "I'm trying to play more aggressive. "I didn't have time to practise a lot because I was injured for seven months and when I started to feel better I started to compete. I need to play more aggressive - I'm trying to work on this my whole career but it's more mental than a training thing." Angelique Kerber (Ger) [8] bt Eugenie Bouchard (Can) 6-4 2-6 6-3 Bouchard, 19, has been tipped as a future star, but Kerber battled through and remains on course for a quarter-final meeting with Serena Williams. David Ferrer (Spa) [4] bt Roberto Bautista Agut (Spa) 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 6-1 6-2 His pre-tournament form was unimpressive, but Ferrer has now made it to round three or better at each of the last 15 Grand Slams. Victoria Azarenka (Blr) [2] bt Aleksandra Wozniak (Can) 6-3 6-1 Azarenka, who at the recent Cincinnati Open, was broken three times on a windy day - but she prevailed in a little over an hour to book a meeting with Alize Cornet of France. John Isner (US) [13] bt Gael Monfils (Fra) 7-5 6-2 4-6 7-6 (7-4) Number 13 seed Isner held off Monfils to progress as the last-seeded American in the men's draw, despite the Frenchman getting more than his share of support in front of Isner's home crowd. Ana Ivanovic (Ser) [13] bt Alexandra Dulgheru (Rom) 6-2 6-1 Adrian Mannarino (Fra) bt Sam Querrey (US) [26] 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 Mannarino is through to round three of a Grand Slam for only the second time, and his reward is a meeting with Roger Federer.

The 70-year-old former singer - real name Paul Gadd - was convicted of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one of having sex with a girl under the age of 13. Gadd, who denied all charges, was acquitted of three other counts at Southwark Crown Court, London. Police are looking at new information relating to other potential victims. Asked whether any more complainants had come forward during the course of the trial, a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: "Officers have received other information and it is currently being assessed." Gadd was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on 27 February. He could face up to life imprisonment for the offence of having sex with an underage girl. The court heard one victim was under the age of 10 when Gadd, of Marylebone, central London, tried to rape her in 1975. She said the singer had crept into her bed as she slept and that afterwards she had felt "ashamed and dirty". She only managed to escape by moving away and then wrapping herself in sheets and blankets. The victim told the trial she had been to the star's mansion a number of times as a child and that after the attack, drunken Gadd had fallen asleep in the bed while she locked herself in a bathroom. Gadd also attacked two other girls, one aged 12, and the other aged 13 or 14, after inviting them backstage to his dressing room. He had claimed he could not have abused them there because he had been cleaning his wig. The 12-year-old was attacked by Gadd after a show at a Leicester nightclub in 1977. She was invited to his Holiday Inn hotel suite where the abuse took place after she was pushed onto a bed. Two other indecent assaults relate to the girl who was 13 or 14 when Gadd invited her to sit on his lap in his dressing room, on a date between October 1979 and December 1980. The court heard Gadd forcefully kissed the girl and put his hand up her skirt and later told her it was to be their "secret". Gadd was also cleared of two counts of indecent assault and one count of administering a drug or other thing in order to facilitate sexual intercourse. The jury of seven women and five men had been considering their verdicts since Wednesday following a two-week trial. Det Ch Insp Mick Orchard of the Metropolitan Police said Gadd had "shown himself to be a sexual predator who took advantage of the star status afforded to him by targeting young girls who trusted him and were in awe of his fame". He added that "his lack of remorse and defence that the victims were lying make his crimes all the more indefensible". Gadd, the first person to be arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, had been jailed for four months in 1999 after admitting possessing thousands of images of child pornography. Peter Watt, director of national services for the NSPCC, said: "Glitter was devious and manipulative throughout this trial. "Thankfully the jury has seen through all the fake tears, and his attempts to paint his victims as liars, gold diggers or opportunistic fantasists. "He tried to portray himself as the victim in this case, as a remorseful, penitent man who had paid for his previous crimes but now faced malicious new allegations. It was just another performance. "His previous convictions, including those for possession of more than 4,000 indecent images of children and sexual assaults in Vietnam, were indicative of a predatory sexual interest in children spanning decades." Chief Crown prosecutor Baljit Ubhey, head of the Crown Prosecution Service in London, said: "Crimes such as these have repercussions for victims that can last for a lifetime. "The bravery of the victims and other witnesses in this case cannot be understated and their testimony has been vital in bringing Paul Gadd to justice." Mark Castle, chief executive of charity Victim Support, said: "We hope this verdict will encourage people who have been sexually abused to speak out or seek help. "Unless they have confidence in the criminal justice system, abusers like Paul Gadd will not be brought to justice." The steel statue in the shape of a bent spoon had been placed on a large tree stump in Sonning earlier this month. Geller, 68, who became famous for bending spoons, is believed to have since returned to his native Israel. It is not clear who has taken the sculpture down, or why. Following the unveiling, it emerged the sculpture did not have the necessary planning permission from Wokingham Borough Council. The council said it was not involved in the removal and Thames Valley Police said it had not received a crime report. The spoon has previously been targeted by graffiti and someone had even left a rude message and bag of dog poo on it. Although Geller said it made him laugh, he warned that people should not leave dog mess lying around as it was "disgusting... and dangerous". Nick Proctor, who cycled past the sculpture to and from work, said: "Every day it keeps changing - someone's defaced in it an exciting new way. Then I cycled past and discovered it had gone." The large red artwork was unveiled as a parting gift to the Berkshire village of Sonning where Geller has lived for 35 years. He and his partner have been accused of "violent action of a sexual nature", he told the BBC from France. He insisted the allegation was false and argued that it was intended to get rid of him. Pavlensky, 32, who calls himself a political artist, has faced criminal charges several times for his work. Most recently he spent seven months behind bars after torching the door of Russia's intelligence agency. He and partner Oksana Shalygina were detained by police last month at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport as they returned home. Under questioning, they learned that an actress they had been involved with had accused them of a sex crime. Officials have confirmed an investigation is under way. "There was nothing at all even remotely resembling violence. Of course not," the artist told the BBC, adding that the couple - who have an open relationship - learned of the accusation whilst abroad. "We had a warning... that the police were looking for us. But we had no reason to take it seriously, so we ignored it. Then when they met us at the airport they revealed how serious their intentions were," he said. The charge carries a 10-year prison sentence. The couple were questioned for some seven hours then freed pending investigation. They took that as a clear hint to leave the country and drove to Ukraine before flying on to France with their children. More on this story: The artist came to prominence when he sewed his lips together in support of anti-Kremlin punk group Pussy Riot. He has since nailed himself to Red Square, wrapped himself in barbed wire and lopped off an earlobe while sitting naked on the wall of a psychiatric institute. Since his release from jail last summer he believes he has been under surveillance; he also suggested that ill-wishers had tried to spur him on to more radical action, which he saw as a trick. He insisted that the charge of sexual assault was also politically motivated. "Of course they want to get rid of what gets in their way," he said. "We think they were showing us that we had two options. Either we would be liquidated from the political context, in a regime prison. Or we could leave the country," the artist said. Staff at drama company Teatr.doc - known for its liberal, opposition agenda - have defended the actress involved, dismissing any suggestion that she's some kind of agent for Russia's intelligence services. They also allege that the artist had previously beaten up her boyfriend, and have released CCTV footage of an incident. Petr Pavlensky said he planned to ask for political asylum in France if formal charges are eventually brought. "I have no desire to return like a lamb to the slaughter," the artist told the BBC by phone. "Especially a slaughter that is desired, by the state." 23-year-old Tim Reynard had been working at the local Liberal Democrat office for three weeks. He then told them he was actually working for the rival Tory Party. Staff immediately went into panic mode... until he was eventually found hiding in a cupboard. Not before they'd deleted his access to their database, Facebook and all other sensitive information. With just over a month until the General Election, there's a lot of sensitive information floating around any political office. So when Tim texted the Liberal Democrat organiser for the constituency of Oxford West and Abingdon, 27-year-old Will Griffiths, to say he had defected to the Conservative Party, Will panicked. Tim, who used to work for Odeon, said he'd jumped ship to "compare parties" and was due back at Tory candidate Nicola Blackwood's office. In a cold sweat, Will rang his boss, who told him he better get into work as soon as he could. By the time Will turned up 20 minutes later, everyone else in the office was in on the joke, so they all got busy checking nothing had been stolen and looking online to see if Tim had been forwarding Liberal Democrat emails to the Conservatives. Will was looking quite shaken when his boss pulled him aside for "a word" - that's when Tim jumped out and asked: "What day is it today Will?" Tim told Newsbeat he had the idea for the prank whilst having his breakfast in the morning, but he didn't think Will would believe it. When he did fall for it though, they all decided to string it out for as long as they could. Tim said Will's face was a picture when the truth hit him: "At first it was relief then it was a mix of anger and shock." He took it well though, and they both had a laugh. Encouraged by how well it went this year, Tim told us he's "got lots of tricks up his sleeve" for next year... so Will, you might want to put the date in your diary now. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube The top three have been chosen by an expert panel from an original list of 10 contenders. This year's winner will be announced at the Sports Personality show, live on the BBC from Belfast on 20 December. Past winners have included footballer Wayne Rooney, diver Tom Daley and tennis player Andy Murray. The shortlisted 2015 trio were selected from nominations made to the BBC by sports governing bodies via the Youth Sport Trust and in partnership with CBBC's Blue Peter programme. "It is really inspiring to see such great talent coming through in the world of sport," said Will Roberts, assistant director at the Youth Sport Trust. "We had a difficult time narrowing the list down from 10 to three as all of these young sports men and women have a dazzling future ahead of them and have shone brightly in 2015. We wish them all the best of luck for the night." The top three have been chosen from an original list of 10 which also included Brinn Bevan (Gymnastics), Sam Curran (Cricket), Sophie Hahn (Para-Athletics), Morgan Lake (Athletics), Matthew Lee (Diving), Molly Summerhayes (Winter Sport-Freestyle Ski) and Rebekah Tiler (Weightlifting). The BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year is awarded to an outstanding young sportsperson who was aged 17 or under on 1 January 2015. Gymnast Claudia Fragapane won the award in 2014 after her triumph at last year's Commonwealth Games. Full terms and conditions on BBC Young Sports Personality 2015 and other awards. Ellie is the younger sister of Team GB Olympian Becky Downie. Ellie's commitment to her education led her to achieve 5 GCSEs at A-C, while competing internationally winning multiple medals in various competitions. In doing so, she secured a place at her first-choice sixth-form college. Alongside sister Becky, Ellie also regularly hosts training sessions at her gymnastics club where children get the chance to train with her. Five years ago, Tully was merely a spectator watching her mum, Amanda, swimming for fun. Tully has a progressive neurological condition that causes muscle weakness, and was reclassified earlier this year. Tully's first appearance on the international stage was in 2013, where she won one gold, three silver medals and three bronze medals in her age group at the 25th German Open Meet in Berlin. Tom first attended the British Racing School in 2012 for Pony Racing tuition. Tom quickly advanced through the Pony Racing Training and in his final season attended a week-long course for the 10 most promising pony racing jockeys in the UK. Richard Hannon Jr, a previous champion trainer of racehorses and Tom's boss, has said: "There's no doubt Tom has the ability to go all the way. He rides very well and is a pleasant lad who works hard and deserves all the success he has had these past 12 months." Further delays in President Uhuru Kenyatta's case would be "contrary to the interests of justice", it ruled. Mr Kenyatta was the first head of state to appear before the court since he was formally charged in 2012 with crimes against humanity, which he denies. The prosecution has repeatedly asked for more time to build its case. It says witnesses have been bribed and intimidated, and the Kenyan government has refused to hand over documents vital to the case. Mr Kenyatta denies inciting violence following the disputed 2007 elections in order to secure victory for then-President Mwai Kibaki and says the ICC case is political. Rejecting the prosecution's latest request for a delay, the court's judges said it needed to indicate within a week whether it would withdraw charges or that the "evidentiary basis has improved to a degree which would justify proceeding to trial". Mr Kenyatta won presidential elections in 2013, with the backing of Mr Kibaki. He used the case against him to rally nationalist support by accusing The Hague-based court of meddling in Kenya's affairs. He is accused by the ICC prosecution of being "an indirect co-perpetrator" in the post-poll ethnic massacres of 2007/2008. Some 1,200 people were killed in the violence and 600,000 were displaced. Mr Kenyatta's deputy William Ruto is on trial at the court on similar charges after his legal team's efforts to throw out the case failed. He and Mr Kenyatta were in opposite camps during the 2007 election, with Mr Ruto accused of fuelling violence to bolster opposition leader Raila Odinga's chances of becoming president. He denies the charges. Mr Ruto formed an alliance with Mr Kenyatta in the 2013 election, opening the way for him to become deputy president. The court's decision to charge Mr Kenyatta caused international controversy, with the African Union (AU) accusing it of "hunting" Africans because of their race. The prosecution denied the allegation, saying it pursued justice impartially. A 15-year-old was arrested following the incident early on Sunday morning in the Downshire Road area. The officer was treated in hospital for a shoulder injury. Police said the teenager made off following a report of an assault in the town. A man needed hospital treatment for facial injuries after the attack. The 15-year-old was held on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, assault on police, disorderly behaviour, resisting police and possession of class A drug with intent to supply. He was later released on bail pending further enquiries. Writing on the PSNI Newry and Mourne Facebook page, police said the 15-year-old was told to stop but "kept running knocking two officers off their feet". "The suspect was finally taken to ground by a crude rugby tackle and restrained." The owners said the casino had long been unprofitable. The closure after Labour Day will come after a lengthy strike over benefits. Closing the Trump Taj Mahal will cost 3,000 jobs, adding to 8,000 workers who were laid off in 2014 when four of the other casinos in the city were closed. The closure of the Trump Taj Mahal will leave only seven casinos in Atlantic City. The casino was opened 26 years ago by current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. It was taken over by billionaire Carl Icahn in 2009 when Trump Entertainment filed for bankruptcy - a move which forced Mr Trump to give up all of his investment in his Atlantic City casinos. Mr Icahn told the AP news agency that he has lost nearly $100 million on the Taj Mahal. Atlantic City's main casino workers union has been on strike against the Taj Mahal since 1 July. On Thursday, the strike will become the longest in the city's 38-year casino era. The strike is over the restoration of health insurance and pension benefits. Unions have rejected an offer to restore health insurance at a level less than that of employees at the city's other casinos. Atlantic City used to be the only gambling centre on the US east coast, but is now struggling with competition from casinos in neighbouring states. The Environment Agency issued several severe flood warnings - indicating a danger to life - for south-west England, Gloucestershire and Wales. Tidal flooding is expected in "numerous locations" on Friday due to large waves, high tides and strong winds. Mr Paterson said ministers were working to ensure all agencies were prepared. He was speaking after chairing a meeting of the Cobra emergency committee, in which the UK's flood response was discussed. Dozens of flood warnings are in place in England, Wales and Scotland. The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings - the lowest of its three levels - for rain and high winds on Friday in Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland, Wales and England. Further warnings have also been issued for Sunday. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has said there is potential for flooding in a number of areas across the country, including Belfast, as a result of a tidal surge expected at midday on Friday. And Devon and Cornwall Police and the Isles of Scilly Council have declared a major incident as waves of more than 30ft (10m) are predicted to hit the coasts in those areas. Cornwall's emergency management centre will be opened in Truro to co-ordinate the response in the county. Many of the severe flood warnings relate to the north and south coasts of Cornwall and Devon, with the highest risk of flooding expected for two to four hours either side of Friday morning's high tides. High water is expected at 05:42 GMT at Penzance, 06:54 at Plymouth, 07:05 at Barnstaple and 07:57 further along the south coast at Weymouth in Dorset. In Wales, the Environment Agency issued a severe flood warning for area of Barmouth on the west coast, saying widespread flooding of properties was likely and that stones and other debris in the waves could seriously injure people. The agency also issued severe warnings for Greenfield to Bagillt and the Point of Ayr in north Wales and the Usk Estuary at Crindau in the south. Three severe warnings are also in place around the River Severn downstream from Gloucester. The agency's head of strategy, Pete Fox, said the expected flooding was due to "a combination of strong winds, large waves and high tides, from the early hours of Friday and into the weekend". "Coastal paths and promenades could be highly dangerous as there is an increased risk of being swept out to sea. People are warned to stay away from the shoreline," he said. Geoff Matthews, from HM Coastguard, said people should avoid visiting coastal areas. "Even a relatively small wave has the power to knock a large man off his feet and take them out to sea in the undertow," he said. The AA said some motorists were failing to heed flood warnings. Check if this is affecting your journey The motoring organisation said it had been to 1,500 call-outs from stranded drivers since 23 December. Darron Burness, head of the AA's flood rescue team, said: "Our patrols have seen it all in that time - including people ignoring road closure signs, blindly following their sat nav or other drivers into deep water, and 4x4 drivers naively thinking their car has amphibious qualities." Flooding disrupted a number of train services on Thursday. Thousands of homes have suffered power cuts due to the recent storms, with some cut off for several days, while numerous properties have been flooded.

Both players are also in the Test squad with Finn, 26, returning after a foot injury, while 24-year-old Stokes has recovered from a shoulder injury. The five-match ODI series will start on 3 February, with the first of three T20s on 17 February. Players only involved in the limited-overs squads will arrive on 23 January. The four-Test series begins in Durban on 26 December. England beat Pakistan 3-1 and 3-0 respectively in November's one-day and T20 series in the United Arab Emirates. Pace bowler Liam Plunkett and spinner Stephen Parry are the only two players from those squads who are omitted this time.

Final results showed that Mr Pena Nieto achieved 38.21%, with second placed Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador 31.59%. While third-placed Josefina Vazquez Mota admitted defeat, Mr Lopez Obrador said he would challenge the result in Mexico's electoral tribunal. Accusations of irregularities led to a re-check of about 50% of votes after the result was announced on Monday. Mr Lopez Obrador, of the left-wing Party of the Democratic Revolution, said the election had been fraudulent and that he would file an appeal next week. A protests march is planed in Mexico City on Saturday. Mr Lopez Obrador promised to keep protests peaceful and "act responsibly." Mr Pena Nieto, of the PRI party, told the BBC he had done nothing wrong and said he may sue his opponents over the allegations. The president of Mexico's electoral body said following the recount there was no reason not to accept the result. The BBC's Will Grant, in Mexico City, said the election had been a tortuous process, and that Mr Pena Nieto was unlikely to see a quiet acceptance of the result. Six years ago, after losing the presidential election by a narrow margin, Mr Lopez Obrador led weeks of protests that caused disruption in central areas of Mexico City. Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute has until early September to address complaints and formally announce a winner in the presidential election. The Ghana captain, 25, joined the Swans in June having spent his career so far at French club Marseille. He made an early impact with a goal in a 2-2 draw at the champions on the Premier League's opening weekend. "The Swansea players have really helped me out. They're really helping me to prove what I can do and they're pushing me," said Ayew. Media playback is not supported on this device "I feel at home already. I know with a few games to come I will get better and better as I get to know the league and the players. "Marseille was a whole different thing for me. I grew up there, went to the academy, so it was home. "Here is a different league, a different challenge." A former BBC African Footballer of the Year with 62 caps for Ghana, Ayew was the Swansea's highest-profile signing of the summer. His composed finish against Chelsea helped Swansea earn a creditable draw at Stamford Bridge. "We had a good result. We knew what we were coming for and we managed to get what we wanted," he added. "We showed a lot of quality and spirit. We worked as a team. "What's important is that Swansea move forward. We will work hard because we know the season is long." The noise at football grounds can prevent some fans with autism from going to games, Notts County ambassador Les Bradd said. The club is the second in England, after Sunderland, to open dedicated sensory facilities for autistic fans. The rooms are furnished with soft toys, bubble tubes and ear defenders. The club completed training with Autism East Midlands as part of developing the rooms and has pledged to become more autism-friendly in future, by signing the Autism Charter. Notts County head groundsman Trevor Hutchinson, whose daughter has autism, said his ground crew had worked for weeks to get the three suites ready. "It's an opportunity for children (with autism) to come and watch football in a safe and relaxing and quiet environment. "These children wouldn't be able to do this if the rooms weren't available." "Ninety-nine per cent of parents wouldn't take the chance to come to a match because they know it would be a nightmare - they think their child might fall down a stair or knock a drink out of someone's hands." Mr Bradd, who is the all-time scoring leader for the club, said: "It is a huge step forward - we are bringing in different types of fans who couldn't attend matches before because they couldn't cope with the noise and couldn't cope with where they had to sit." StopSO has offered therapy to 120 people - 18 based in Wales - who are non-offending paedophiles and sexual offenders. The south Wales-based organisation has said it needs more funding to carry on. Paul Jones, of Machynlleth, Powys, whose daughter was killed by Mark Bridger, is supporting its work. Bridger, who will spend the rest of his life in jail, had previously searched for child abuse and rape images before he abducted five-year-old April from near her home in October 2012. Set up in the same year with a grant from Gwent's police and crime commissioner, StopSO has offered therapy to paedophiles who have offended and those who have not, but have asked for help. It works as an agency to train private therapists throughout the UK. Founder Juliet Grayson said: "What we really want to do is not only stop the second offence. But at StopSO we want to stop the first offence." Mr Jones, who has campaigned for more action against indecent images of children on the internet, told the BBC's Eye on Wales programme that he thought the work was important. "It's a glimmer of hope in the future," he said. "They're trying to offer help to paedophiles before they become offenders - it's the way forward. Prevention has to be the key." Forensic psychologist Prof Robert Snowden of Cardiff University said the definition of a paedophile is someone who is primarily attracted to pre-pubescent children, and it is recognised as a sexual orientation. "We don't really equate paedophilia and child molestation. Paedophilia is the sexual attraction; child molestation is the offence," he said. Chris (not his real name) describes himself as a paedophile. He has never harmed a child and never wants to, but said his sexuality was starting to take a toll on his life. "I was blaming myself and I'd got myself in to a situation where mentally I felt I was rubbish," he added. "There was a period of time when I wanted to take my own life." Chris came across StopSO online and was soon put in touch with a therapist near him. He completed a course of cognitive behavioural therapy which he said changed his life. In Gwent, where there are more therapists and awareness of StopSO's work due to the seed funding from the police and crime commissioner's office, 60% of those coming forward are referring themselves and have had no contact with the authorities. But Ms Grayson said the organisation needs more funds. "Provided we can get that, I think we can really make a change and revolutionise the way we think about this." The issue for Ms Grayson is how to prove StopSO works. She is in the process of setting up monitoring procedures so she can gather evidence. The Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner's office told Eye On Wales it will need that evidence before it puts any more funds in to StopSO. Healthy Harold has, for 37 years, rolled up outside schools in his iconic van to deliver responsible messages to children aged between five and 13 about drugs, alcohol and healthy living. So when it emerged on Tuesday that Harold's programme, Life Education Australia, would no longer receive government funding, Australians erupted in nostalgia-fuelled ire. The government had opted not to renew a request for A$500,000 (£290,000; $370,000) in annual funding, explained Life Education Australia chief executive David Ballhausen. Mr Ballhausen lamented that an estimated 750,000 young people would be deprived of the programme in the next year alone. He said Harold had become particularly useful in educating school communities about the dangers of crystal methamphetamine, also known as ice, a drug which has had a devastating impact in Australia. The backlash grew throughout the day, with the Leader of the Opposition, Bill Shorten, also commenting. "Of all the things to cut, why would you cut an iconic program that teaches kids how to be healthy? Mindless," he tweeted. In the face of such public anger, it took less than half a day for the government to reverse track and announce it would fund the programme after all. "We support #HealthyHarold & will work with Life Education Australia to ensure the funding & the program continues," tweeted Education Minister Simon Birmingham. In a statement on Tuesday, Mr Ballhausen confirmed the government funding would continue. "Thank you for the extraordinary support we received last night," he said. "It was critical in helping generate this positive response from the Australian Government." Although the saga came to a swift resolution, discussion of Harold did not, and more people reminisced on social media. Media playback is not supported on this device The Blues received two first-half yellow cards, and trailed to Neil Cochrane's converted try. Rory Scholes exploited Matthew Morgan's awful attempted tackle to stretch Edinburgh's lead, then scored again in the opposite corner. Josh Bennett's try hauled the Blues back within a score, before Lloyd Williams collected his own speculative chip-kick to snatch victory. The visitors' night got off to a decent start when Steve Shingler's penalty put them ahead, but they lost the plot thereafter, conceding penalty after penalty and yellow card after yellow card. Georgian tight-head Anton Peikrishvili was the first to go after collapsing a maul and, while he was off, Edinburgh drove Cochrane over for the opening try. Sam Hidalgo-Clyne converted, the 7-3 lead being cut to 7-6 when Shingler put over another penalty. A four-point gain during Peikrishvili's purgatory was not exactly what Edinburgh were looking for, but it was better than they managed when the Blues lost their second man to the bin, Jarrad Hoeata walking after killing ball at the breakdown. Edinburgh could not punish them at all this time. Not a point was scored. The home team had the physical advantage, the numerical advantage and with the Cardiff side conceding seven penalties in the first 30 minutes, Edinburgh had the discipline advantage, too. What they did not have was even a semblance of composure. They kicked aimlessly when they needed to be applying pressure, they let the Blues off the hook when they ought to have been seizing them by the throat. The visitors conceded an eighth penalty before the half was out. Throw in some line-out blunders, spillages and assorted other errors, and you had a second-rate game between two struggling sides. The break brought about a dramatic change. At last, Edinburgh found something; patience, accuracy, wit. Scholes cut a lovely line off Jason Tovey and screamed over on the right. Six minutes later, more smart rugby saw Hidalgo-Clyne slip Scholes in again on the opposite side of the field. The scrum-half missed both conversions. Not easy kicks, but costly all the same. The Blues looked a bit of a beaten docket at this point, but Edinburgh, in such a wretched run of form, are never shoo-ins with just an 11-point lead. They have a vulnerability about them their opponents could practically smell - and from the hour-mark, the visitors began their comeback. Lloyd Williams and Nick Williams did the major work for the try that really spooked Edinburgh, incisive rugby, good hands, a gorgeous offload and a try for Bennett. Ten minutes after that, and after a siege on Edinburgh's line, Lloyd Williams came up with the goods. A dink over the top of the home defence, a kind bounce, a match-winning try. It did not matter that Shingler's conversion was charged down. The Blues had a one-point lead and one point was enough. Edinburgh were suckered. A sweet and precious win for the Welsh.

Gareth Williams sent in this photo via WhatsApp: "So sad to hear about Ed Stewart's death. Here I am on stage during a Radio 1 roadshow in Caswell Bay, the Gower in August 1976. I was taking part in a yes/no game which I was lucky enough to win! Ed gave me my radio debut that day. Thanks Ed!" Ed was involved in several charities, including PHAB. Simon Haskew was at an awards ceremony at the House of Lords in May 2012 and took this photo of his friend Maxim Lowe. Alfie Bedborough in Jersey has fond memories: "Always a main stay on Christmas Day with Junior Choice. Such a loss. 'Ello darling!" Clint Ritchie Stark in Edinburgh says he was fantastic with children on his Saturday morning show: "I remember him at the children's ward at the Princess Margaret Rose Hospital. The kids just loved him. He was so kind to them." "I will never forget his kindness," says Sharon Ward in Sheffield. "In 1982 he was going out to the Falklands to record his Christmas radio show. My husband was based out there. I was based at RAF Brize Norton. We had only been married 10 months. Ed very kindly took an anniversary card, Christmas card and a cake to him." Ed's sister, Sue Mainwaring, who lives in Swanage, told us the news hadn't quite sunk in: "He was such a good brother. I have loved him for nearly 70 years. He has been there for me all my life. I went to some of his shows but I didn't get a Crackerjack pen! We had a lot of fun. I will miss him." Dominic Dalton says he met Ed several times back in the 1980s when he worked for Radio Mercury but his son Tyler met him for the first time in August 2014 at Cranleigh Car Show. "He was still the loveable 'Stewpot' that I remembered from those meetings in the 80s and still happy to be stopped to have a picture taken. RIP Ed you have left me with some fond memories." Barry Lester in Spain: "I had the pleasure of meeting him about 15 years ago in southern Spain while he was working with Spectrum FM. He was a gentle man with a big heart. He will be sadly missed by the people who loved his style and manners." Compiled by Sherie Ryder The 70th anniversary of victory in World War Two is an opportunity for the Russian military to show off some of its latest equipment. And President Vladimir Putin can demonstrate to his own people, and to the world, that Russia is back in the military equivalent of the premier league. Russia's armed forces modernisation is still very much a work in progress. But the fighting in eastern Ukraine has demonstrated that, over recent years, elements of the Russian army have significantly improved, in equipment and capability. Keir Giles, an expert on the Russian armed forces at the Conflict Studies Research Centre, says the current military reform has been going on for seven years, and was "kick-started by Russia's military performance in the war with Georgia in 2008". "Russia won that war convincingly," he says, "but confirmed in the process that the way its troops were organised and equipped was out of date. "Since then, Russia has been working hard to overhaul almost every aspect of its military, including massive investment in new weapons systems - everything from nuclear weapons down to the uniforms and equipment carried by individual soldiers." The fighting in eastern Ukraine has demonstrated that military reform is already bearing fruit. Nato commanders point to the Russians' improved use of electronic warfare, unmanned drones and better logistical support. "Russia has taken what was left of the Soviet Army and finally turned it into a fighting force designed for 21st-Century conflict," Mr Giles says. There is still a lot of work to do, and Russia's economic position has inevitably been weakened by the fall in oil prices and Western sanctions, following Russia's seizure of Crimea last year and its actions in eastern Ukraine. But Igor Sutyagin, a military analyst at the RUSI think-tank in London, argues that money for military modernisation appears to have been ring-fenced. There remain "deep institutional problems in the Russian government model", he says: problems that will persist even if oil prices rise and sanctions are ultimately lifted. The Armata T-14 tank is a revolutionary vehicle for the Russians - the first truly new tank design since the Cold War. All of Russia's current tank models are essentially upgrades of a design that goes back to 1964, when the T-64 went into service. As Igor Sutyagin explained, that old design is now obsolete, "too compact to insert anything new into it". "It was designed in a different environment - for World War Two-type engagements, tank-on-tank. "Today, anti-tank weapons attack tanks from the top and it is effectively impossible to improve the protection of a T-64 type. So the Russian army needed a fundamentally different design - that was the promise of Armata." The Armata may symbolise the Russian military's future, but it makes much wider use of electronics on-board, and Igor Sutyagin says that is a problem. "Up to 80% of the chip-sets for the most critical electronics in the Russian electronics industry are imported - and mainly imported from the West." Even if sanctions are lifted, he thinks a legacy will remain and, as in the Cold War years, there may be significant restrictions on exports to Russia with potential military uses. Russian World War Two parade: A tank-spotter's guide Russia's rift with Ukraine has even greater immediate significance. As Keir Giles notes, "another major headache for military modernisation is the loss of access to the Ukrainian defence industry. "Even this long after the end of the USSR, some parts of the Russian and Ukrainian military-industrial complexes still functioned in close co-operation. Now, Russia has to source key components for its warships, aircraft and weapons systems elsewhere - or start to build them itself." Igor Sutyagin agrees. "Russian defence officials openly recognise that 30% of Ukrainian imports to Russia's defence industry cannot be substituted domestically. One-third is large enough, when you bear in mind that one out of every five pieces of Russian military hardware is either Ukrainian or depends upon Ukrainian parts." Of course, no military the size of Russia's can be modernised in one go. Russia prioritised strategic nuclear forces, with new missiles and submarines. For the army, "the priorities were special forces and the airborne assault troops," Keir Giles says. "One result was the highly capable special forces troops that appeared on the streets of Crimea in February 2014." But improvements have also been rolling out "across the whole of the army", he says. Western analysts believe the Russian army may be facing manpower challenges in maintaining forces close to Ukraine. But the conclusion was that Russia might be able "only" to put 90-100,000 men in the field, "which still dwarfs anything Ukraine's Western neighbours might be able to muster to resist Russian pressure", Mr Giles says. A worry for Western observers of Russia's military modernisation is the frequent reference to nuclear weapons by Russian officials. Igor Sutyagin says such talk reflects Russia's awareness of its "inability to compete on equal terms with the West in conventional terms". Particularly alarming for Keir Giles is the new emphasis on the potential use of nuclear weapons, by senior government officials including President Putin. "It is another example of how military posturing that makes perfect sense in Moscow is incomprehensible in the West. Soviet offensive plans for Europe included early use of tactical nuclear weapons, and they still play a significant - but not publicly acknowledged - role in Russian doctrine." The experience of Crimea, he says, "shows that just because something is unimaginable for Western planners, this does not mean it is not considered a viable option by Russia".

The scare followed Monday's bomb attack at Manchester Arena in which 22 people died and 116 were injured. Several roads were closed during the incident. Cordons have now been lifted. Meanwhile the threat level "will remain at critical and the public should remain vigilant", Prime Minister Theresa May has said. She was speaking after a meeting of the government's emergency committee, Cobra. Suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated a homemade device at Manchester Arena on Monday.

A possible suspicious package has been declared safe after army bomb disposal experts were called to a street in Hulme, near Manchester city centre.

Closing his party's conference in Liverpool, the Labour leader said it could build support by focusing on the "needs and aspirations of middle and lower income voters". He also promised no "false promises" on immigration numbers, focusing instead on a new fund for high-migration areas. And he urged colleagues to "end the trench warfare" and take on the Tories. In his second conference speech as party leader, Mr Corbyn - who was re-elected on Saturday by an increased margin - urged supporters to prepare for an early general election. "Let's do it, and be ready for the challenge whenever it comes," he said. Recent months had been a "testing time" for his party, including the death of Jo Cox, the European referendum and divisions over the leadership contest "spilling over", he said. Mr Corbyn ended his hour-long speech by promising to "build a fairer Britain in a peaceful world". He also: Supporters chanted "Jez we can" as the leader took to the stage with a joke about his recent trouble finding a seat on board a Virgin train. To cheers from the conference floor, Mr Corbyn paid tribute to MPs who he promoted to the shadow cabinet after mass front-bench resignations in the aftermath of the EU referendum. "They stepped up when their party and in fact their country needed them to serve," he said. He said his party had a responsibility to act like a government-in-waiting, especially given what he said was the growing prospect of Prime Minister Theresa May calling a snap election next year. "It's true there's an electoral mountain to climb," he said. "But if we focus everything on the needs and aspirations of middle and lower income voters, of ordinary families, if we demonstrate we've got a viable alternative to the government's failed economic policies, I'm convinced we can build the electoral support that can beat the Tories." Some Labour MPs have called for the party to back reforms to curb immigration, following the vote to leave the European Union. And earlier on Wednesday, shadow home secretary Andy Burnham criticised an "out of touch elite" for not listening to voters' concerns about "unlimited, unfunded, unskilled migration". But Mr Corbyn said Labour would not "sow division" with "false promises" in relation to Brexit, but "instead tackle the real issues of immigration and make the real changes that are needed". He said he was committed, if he becomes prime minister, to measures to help relieve some of the pressures on "hard-pressed public services" such as health, housing and education exacerbated by migrant inflows. After five days of talking to delegates in Liverpool, it is astonishing how different their impressions of their leader are. Backers of Jeremy Corbyn look at his huge success with the party membership, and see his second victory as another major step towards building a movement that can get to Number 10 - a win that allows him a chance to reassert his authority over Labour and for supporters to be given more power. This afternoon, they looked at him on the platform as a leader who has changed the Labour Party, and now is on his way to changing the country. But his critics - still the majority of MPs and also many long-standing members of the party - look at Mr Corbyn, some in anger, some in sorrow. They see a man on the platform whose long standing principles are alien to most voters in the middle, where elections have been traditionally won. Read more from Laura In 2010, the coalition government scrapped the Migrant Impact Fund set up a year earlier by its Labour predecessor. Mr Corbyn said Labour would reinstate the fund, with levels of funding to be linked to local authorities' needs, to be paid for in part from money raised from visa applications to enter the UK and a new levy on citizenship application fees. "We will act to end the exploitation of migrant labour to undercut workers pay and conditions," he added. "And we will ease the pressure on hard-pressed public services - services that are struggling to absorb Tory austerity cuts, in communities absorbing new populations." In a message to businesses, Mr Corbyn promised to "rebuild Britain's infrastructure". "But investment in capital must include investment in human capital, the skilled workers needed to make our economy a success," he said. "So this is the deal Labour will offer to business. "To help pay for a National Education Service, we will ask you pay a little more in tax." He also promised "good businesses" Labour would clamp down on those that "dodge their taxes". The British Chambers of Commerce said many companies would be concerned the Labour leader was "reaching for the tax lever by asking businesses to pay for his education plans". Mr Corbyn's plea for unity in the Labour Party was echoed earlier by Mr Burnham, who also confirmed he was leaving the shadow cabinet in order to contest the Greater Manchester mayoral election. A Labour government of any kind, he said, is "a million time times better" for his constituency than the Conservatives - "and that is more likely to happen if Labour is united". "So let us unite - let's have an end to divisive talk about deselections but, in return, let's have more respect for the democratic will of you, our members," he said. Responding to Mr Corbyn's comments on immigration, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said: "All this shows is that Jeremy Corbyn wants unlimited immigration - and presides over a Labour Party that is too divided, incompetent and distracted to lead our country." UKIP said Labour offered nothing for "millions of decent patriotic Labour supporters who voted Leave and want to see levels of migration brought down", while Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said Mr Corbyn had "barely mentioned Brexit".

Jeremy Corbyn says he is convinced his party can climb an "electoral mountain" to general election success.

The Taliban came once for Fawzia Koofi, and she knows they could come again. This prominent member of parliament - and mother of two - survived a hail of bullets last year. "It was the Taliban. They kept shooting at my car for half an hour," she said. "But luckily I survived that. For me the threats are more, because I don't like to keep silent". Lately there was a new threat. Fawzia was warned that the much-feared insurgents of the Haqqani network planned to assassinate her. "Our intelligence service wrote to me saying please strengthen your security measures and be careful. I don't know what that means," she said, with a laugh. "How can I be careful if they want to assassinate me?" This articulate and tireless campaigner refuses to be intimidated. She shuttles from parliament to public meetings, under armed guard, championing reform and women's rights. But over lemon tea, in her Kabul home, she spoke about her new fear - that Afghan women could soon be abandoned by the international community, which promised them so much 10 years ago. "They seem to kind of turn their face to the women's issues, and say we just want to say goodbye and leave Afghanistan," she said, "and that could put us even more at risk because we have been outspoken about what we want. "If they leave without giving us an assurance for our own security, the women's rights activists will be the first victims," Fawzia said. Another outspoken activist, Wazhma Frogh, of the Afghan Women's Network, already jokes with friends about the risk of being hanged if the Taliban return. "There are times when we laugh among women's groups and say 'Okay, the first day you might be hanging around this square or you might be killed,'" she said. "We joke about it on a daily basis, because we are that scared". That's a lot to be scared about, and a lot at stake. In the decade since the Taliban government was ousted from power, there has been tangible progress for Afghan women and girls - though much less than many had hoped. Women now account for almost 30% of Afghan MPs. Equal rights are enshrined in the constitution. The number of girls in school has climbed to 2.5 million. But in some areas handed to Afghan control, the clock is already being turned back, according to Wazhma Frogh. One women's organisation had to close training projects in five districts, she said, because communities were fearful, knowing that foreign troops would be pulling out. Feisty and fearless as she is, Wazhma is haunted by flashbacks from Taliban times - from the era when women could be beaten because their feet were visible. "The nightmare that I have is the memories of when I lived under the Taliban," she said. "That's what we went through and that's what might come back." In her textile factory on the edge of Kabul, Hassina Sher Jan shares those concerns. "I'm in counter-insurgency," said the stylish entrepreneur with a smile, gesturing to the rows of men and women sewing, cutting and pressing side by side. Women make up half the workforce at the Boumi Design Company, producing cushions, curtains and tea cosies, and fashioning new future for themselves and their country. Nadia sits in the back row, head bent over her sewing machine. Under the Taliban, she and her seven sisters had to stay at home, embroidering burqas. Zarghona, who wears a patterned yellow headscarf and lipstick, said she was providing for her two younger brothers. "I'm proud to work like a man to support my family," she said. "I was very sad in the Taliban times because I couldn't work outside." But the possibility of reconciliation with insurgents hangs over this business, like a storm cloud. The Taliban would want to shape the future, as they did the past, Hassina warned. "None of the Taliban have come forward to saw I am a moderate, and I believe differently," she said. "Of course all the achievements that we have had so far are going to be lost. We have been fooling ourselves with thinking that there are moderate Taliban, and the situation will be different. They are not saying that. We are making that up," Hassina said. The death of a 25-year old woman called Siddqa is testament to that. An amateur recording, which emerged in January, captured her last moments. She was slaughtered, without mercy, in a Taliban-controlled area of Northern Afghanistan. The grainy footage shows her standing waist deep in a hole, shrouded in a blue burqa, as local men bayed for blood. Siddqa had eloped, and been found guilty of adultery. The Taliban stoned her - for two minutes - then shot her dead. In areas under Taliban control women are still voiceless and defenceless, 10 years on. Fawzia Koofi wants her daughters to grow up in a different Afghanistan. She has spent the past decade working for that. After a long day of speeches, and political meetings, Fawzia sits at the dining room table, helping her eldest daughter prepare for a computer exam. Sharhazad, 13, wants to be an aerospace engineer but she and her younger sister are afraid for themselves and their mother. They want a future outside their homeland. "My daughters seem to be worrying more these days," said Fawzia. "They are asking me questions like 'why are we living in Afghanistan?'. It makes me feel sad. They would prefer to be poorer abroad, with safety and stability."

Women's rights activists in Afghanistan say they fear the advances made by women over the past decade could be reversed if a peace deal is done with the Taliban.

The Taliban said they were behind the blast, which also injured two US soldiers and a contractor. US officials said the troops were meeting a local Afghan leader when they were targeted by a fighter riding a motorbike rigged with explosives. Attacks on foreign troops have risen in recent months as forces have withdrawn. Nato formally ended its combat operations last year, but 9,800 US troops remain in Afghanistan. US Defence Secretary Ash Carter said the bombing was "a painful reminder of the dangers our troops face every day in Afghanistan". The attack happened in a village close to Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. To date, 16 US service members have been killed in combat this year, but most of those deaths were due to aircraft crashes, according to the Pentagon. In October, a helicopter crash killed six US service members in Jalalabad. "We're deeply saddened by this loss," Brig Gen Wilson Shoffner said in a news release. "Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the families and friends of those affected in this tragic incident, especially during this holiday season." The incident is under investigation, according to the release. In southern Afghanistan, reports suggest that Taliban militants are getting close to taking Sangin, a strategically important town. The Taliban have said they controlled most of the town, with the main administrative building abandoned. The attack comes after US President Barack Obama has reversed his policy in Afghanistan, announcing that up to 10,000 service members will remain in Afghanistan by the end of his presidency. Three Afghan police were also wounded in the bombing. A few days ago, there were suicide attacks on the Kandahar air base in southern Afghanistan, and on a Spanish embassy property in Kabul. Media playback is not supported on this device The 42 year old, who will also take charge on the Under-17 and Under-19 teams, has signed a four-year deal. Page currently has players such as Liverpool's Ben Woodburn and Exeter's Ethan Ampadu at his disposal who are also eligible to represent England. It will be an important part of the job," he told BBC Radio Wales Sport. "It is important that we continue to build relationships with the academies," he continued. "If I was an academy manager (at a club) I need to know that my best players are bring looked after. And they'll get that with Wales. Media playback is not supported on this device "Look at the first team in the summer. There was a camaraderie and a team spirit. "It was a group of friends playing together. And it's important that when you're dual-nationality, you're with a group of lads that you enjoy being with. "Even if they've got injuries I still want them to be a part of those groups and camps, to be part of the culture that we're going to buy in to from what's already there from the first team. The Wales under-21 team have never qualified for a major tournament, although they came close in 2008 when they lost a playoff against England for a place in the 2009 European Championships. And although gaining qualification is important for Page, he understands that he'll also have to keep providing the senior team with new players as a priority. "We've got to continue doing the work that Geraint (Williams) has done. And his record has been very good in developing these players through to Chris' first team," he said. "Qualifying for a major tournament is something that we need to do. You want your best players around you to be able to do that. But inevitably you're going to lose your best players (to the senior team.) The main aim is to keep developing players and qualify for a major tournament." Page had been first-team coach at Championship club Nottingham Forest since January after he was sacked as manager by League One side Northampton in January. New manager Mark Warburton was keen for him to stay on in the role until the end of the season, but Page wants no distractions. "My focus is solely on Wales. There's a lot of work to be done. There's a tournament for the younger age-groups in Cyprus in April, so I'll be involved in that straight away. "When Warburton came in he made it clear that he wanted me to stay there. But there was an opportunity for me to start my work with the FAW. And there's a lot of work to be done before the summer." Tornado, the newest steam locomotive in Britain, pulled 12 Northern services over three days from 14 -16 February. The company described the event as "a remarkable success" and has not ruled out running similar services again. It was part of celebrations to mark the upcoming reopening of the line after landslides closed a long stretch. Paul Barnfield, Northern Rail regional director, said: "During the three days just over 5,500 people travelled on the steam services and it was great to see so many entering into the spirit of the celebration. "This was the first timetabled steam service in England for almost 50 years and to be able to bring Tornado to such an iconic and visually stunning line, as a way of saying thank you, was a genuine pleasure." Settle-Carlisle Railway Graeme Bunker, of the Darlington-based A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, which built Tornado, said: "To see the many thousands who travelled and many thousands more enjoying the event at the line side made the endeavour very worthwhile and delivered a welcome boost to the local community after recent challenges. "I am very proud of my team for their part in ensuring the services ran so successfully." Douglas Hodgins, of the Friends of Settle to Carlisle Line, added: "There must be lessons here about the demand for steam, scenery and rail travel in general. It was the perfect curtain-raiser for the reopening of the line on 31 March." It took 18 years for the trust to build the £3m Tornado 60163, which can achieve speeds of 75mph (120km/h). It was completed in 2008. The Appleby to Carlisle stretch of line closed in February 2016 after a 500,000-tonne landslip at Armathwaite. The decision came after four team mechanics narrowly avoided being hit by petrol bombs during a clash between protesters and police on Wednesday. Team boss Bob Fernley said: "We have to ensure the crew are comfortable." "It would have been wrong not to go ahead with the race because it would mean in the future when there is any unrest, you would have to do the same thing. I was here in the dark, my sons went to various villages because they wanted to see what was going on, my wife was out shopping. There is so much unrest in other parts of the Middle East, far beyond anything you're seeing here." In a separate incident on Thursday, Sauber became the second team involved in a roadside incident. A bus containing 12 of their mechanics took to the hard shoulder after encountering a burning bottle in the road and seeing masked men running towards their lane. Sauber confirmed that nobody from the team was hurt and they did not regard it as an attack on their vehicle. F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone said he had offered Force India a police escort from the track following their incident on Wednesday. Speaking to BBC Sport, Ecclestone said: "I said if they were the slightest bit concerned, whatever time they would normally leave the circuit, I will be here and travel in their vehicle back to the hotel, without any escort or police. "If they want an escort, they can have police, I am happy to travel without. I don't think they have any need to be concerned." Ecclestone and the Bahrain Grand Prix organisers have worked hard to present the Gulf state as safe. The incident on Wednesday came as the Force India team members were returning from the track to their hotel at about 2000 local time on the main highway from the track to the capital, Manama. Ecclestone said he did not want to comment on the incident because he was not there. He insisted it was "absolutely 100%" the right decision to go to Bahrain, pointing to recent riots in Spain and crime in Brazil as examples that other countries had problems. Asked if he felt Bahrain were blurring the boundaries between sport and politics by using a "UniF1ed" slogan to promote the grand prix, Ecclestone said it was "not for us to decide how somebody wants to use the race. We're not here to give an opinion on how this country should be run - or any other country". Fernley told BBC Sport Force India fully supported the Bahrain Grand Prix but safety was paramount. He said: "We are doing the best we can to make sure the crew is safe. There will be protests, it was an unfortunate incident and when it happens to your team you have to deal with it in a proper manner." Asked how he felt about the teams being told Bahrain was safe, Fernley said: "We all know there is a very slight risk with coming here." Not all the teams are staying in central Manama - McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes are all in a resort complex about two miles (3km) from the track. The 84-year-old, who also has a seat in the House Of Lords as a Labour peer, is best known for her series of novels featuring Chief Inspector Wexford. The best-selling author had a "serious stroke" last week and is being looked after in hospital by her son. Her publisher said: "Our thoughts are with Ruth and her family at this difficult time." In a statement, Hutchinson - Penguin Random House said Baroness Rendell of Babergh had suffered a stroke on 7 January. "Her son, Simon Rendell, is with her and thanks everyone for their concern. "The family request privacy while the doctors assess the best course of treatment," the statement added. With more than 60 titles to her name, Rendell's last book was The Girl Next Door, which came out last year. It was published along with a 50th anniversary edition of her debut novel From Doon With Death, which saw Inspector Wexford make his debut. Wexford has appeared in more than 20 novels - the last of which came out in 2013 - and were turned into The Ruth Rendell Mysteries for ITV, with the late George Baker playing the lead role for more than 10 years. The writer described her character as a "big ugly man", named after the Irish county where she had recently holidayed. The taciturn inspector worked in Sussex and was prone to "feelings… about some small thing when a case was about to break, and the small thing always turned out to be vital and his hunch seldom wrong". She had recently finished work on a new novel, which is set to be published as planned in the autumn. Rendell also wrote psychological crime thrillers under the pen name Barbara Vine. In 1996 she was awarded a CBE and in 1997 she was made a life peer. Her two sons have lent rarely seen photographs of Audrey Hepburn, from their personal collection, for a new exhibition. It opens this week at London's National Portrait Gallery, and explores the life and career of the celebrated star. Her younger son, Luca Dotti took the BBC's Arts Editor, Will Gompertz, on a tour of his personal favourites. The think tank's education director Andreas Schleicher explains how much positive impact can come from simple changes such as parents taking time to talk to their children and eating a meal together. Perhaps the most distressing threat to student well-being is bullying, and it can have serious consequences for the victim, the bully and bystanders. This international study shows how widespread this can be, across borders and cultures, in schools of many different kinds. On average, across OECD countries, about 11% of teenagers reported they were frequently mocked, 7% were "left out of things", 8% were the subject of hurtful rumours and about 4% - that is still roughly one per class - were being hit or pushed around. A substantial number of young people feel isolated, humiliated, feel like an outsider at school or are physically assaulted. This matters, because schools are not just places where students learn about academic subjects. It's one of the first places where children experience society and the behaviour of other people. It should be where young people learn about resilience and ambition. And whether positive or negative, this time in school will have a profound influence on these young people. The evidence of countries such as Finland, the Netherlands and Switzerland shows that it is not a case of choosing between high academic standards and high levels of satisfaction with life - it is possible to have both. It also shows there is no link between long hours of study and students' sense of satisfaction. The frequency of tests, perhaps counter to expectations, also seems to be unrelated to anxiety about school. But what does seem to make a difference to well-being are the relationships between students, teachers and parents. A negative relationship with teachers is a major threat to students' sense of belonging in school. And conversely, "happy" schools are likely to report much more positive relations between staff and students. On average across countries, students who reported that their teacher is willing to provide help and is interested in their learning are also about 1.3 times more likely to feel that they belong at school. 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. Students who reported unfair treatment by teachers were 1.7 times more likely to report feeling isolated. This is important. Teenagers look for strong social ties and they value acceptance, care and support from others. Adolescents who feel they are part of a school community are more likely to perform better academically and be more motivated in school. There are also big differences between countries on these measures. About three quarters of students feel they belong at school, and in some of the highest performing education systems, including Taiwan, Japan, the Netherlands, Vietnam, Finland, South Korea, Estonia and Singapore, that share is even higher. But in France it is just 41% - and there can be big differences in some countries in this sense of belonging for children from immigrant families. While the frequency of tests might not affect student well-being, there does seem to be a more negative influence if tests are seen as "threatening". This anxiety, even among well-prepared students, can also be linked to the relationships with teachers. If teachers are seen as supportive there is likely to be less stress. Where students feel that teachers do not rate their chances of success fairly, there is even more worry, with 62% of students reporting high levels of exam tension. And in all countries, girls reported greater schoolwork-related anxiety than boys. The fear of making mistakes on a test often disrupts the performance of top-performing girls who "choke under pressure". Another major factor in young people's lives is the time spent online. Across OECD countries, 26% of students on average spend six hours per day online at weekends and 16% spend a similar time online on weekdays. Extreme internet use, more than six hours per day, has a negative impact on students' well-being. Last but not least, parents make a big difference. Students with high levels of life satisfaction were significantly more likely to have parents who regularly spent time talking to them. Parents who sat around the table to eat their main meal with their children and talked about how they were getting on at school also made a difference. "Spending time just talking" is the parental activity most frequently and most strongly associated with students' life satisfaction. It seems to matter for academic performance too. Students whose parents regularly talked to them were two-thirds of a school-year ahead in science, and even after accounting for social background, the advantage remains at one-third of a school year. The results are similar for parents eating meals with children. The strength of this relationship is well beyond the impact of most school resources and school factors measured by Pisa tests. Even though this shows the powerful positive effect of parental interest, for many parents, spending time just talking to their child is a rare occurrence. Some parents find it difficult to participate in their children's school life, maybe because of inflexible work schedules, lack of childcare or language barriers. But schools could do more to help parents overcome these barriers. If parents cannot leave work to attend school meetings, then perhaps parents could talk by phone or video. There could also be support from government, such as incentives for employers to improve the work-life balance. Parents can also help children manage test anxiety by encouraging them to trust in their ability. Girls whose parents encouraged them to be confident in their abilities were 21% less likely to report feeling tense about schoolwork. Most parents want their children to be motivated at school and motivated students tend to do better. On average, students who are among the most motivated score more than a school year higher in Pisa tests than the least motivated students. Motivation is also related to life satisfaction in a mutually reinforcing way. Students who are highly satisfied with their life tend to have greater resilience and are more tenacious in the face of academic challenges. But there can also be downsides when there is too much external pressure. Countries where students are highly motivated also tend to be where many students feel anxious about tests, even when well prepared. They need to find a way to encourage achievement without generating an excessive fear of failure. The challenges to the well-being students are many and there are no simple solutions. But the findings from this study show how teachers, schools and parents can make a real difference. The health board admitted it was unable to meet the Scottish government's target timescale and has started classifying adult elective surgical patients according to their clinical need. NHS Grampian has suffered from difficulties in recruiting and retaining staff in several areas. But it says the current approach is a "pragmatic" one while waits are longer than it would like. A spokeswoman for the health board said: "Our first priority is to ensure the most urgent patients get treated promptly. "Therefore we are in the process of implementing an elective classification system to ensure those patients waiting longer are those clinically most able to do so. "The classification is clinically-led and covers all adult surgical services. We realise this will be disappointing news for those patients classed as able to wait longer. "We remain committed to all Scottish government waiting times standards. This is a pragmatic interim solution to maintain safety whilst current waits are longer than we would like." Health Secretary Shona Robison told BBC Radio Scotland the Scottish government was investing in health boards across the country to help them build their theatre capacity. Interviewed on Good Morning Scotland, she apologised to patients who have had a long wait for elective surgery. "It's not ideal," she said. "We would want all patients to be seen in a timely fashion and I would apologise to anybody who is having to wait a bit longer than we would want them to wait. "But I think it is important that the capacity that we do have is used to treat those patients who most urgently need to be treated. "What the new investment will mean going forward is that we can make sure that everyone is treated in a timely fashion and we can get those who are waiting longer than they should seen as quickly as possible." Ms Robison said NHS Grampian has struggled to recruit theatre nurses and it has had difficulties with theatre capacity, but the health board was working to address the problems. "What they are doing is they're changing the whole way the theatres are operating to try and make sure that they can use the theatre capacity to the best of their ability," she said. "They've managed to recruit a lot of new theatre nurses and they're using their capacity in a more efficient way and reducing their agency spend by recruiting nurses to substantial posts. So they are doing a lot of work to try and address some of these issues that they have." Prof Jamie Weir, spokesman for the local Patient Action Coordination Team (PACT), told BBC Scotland: "I think it's very sad from the point of view of the patients. "Not knowing is very difficult to cope with. And the staff do not want to be in this position, to have patients waiting, under stress and strain." He added: "There is no quick fix." Surrey Police said a man assaulted a member of staff at the Waterloo Road restaurant in Epsom on Friday, before taking the 17-year-old victim outside. A suspect was arrested a short time later at Court Recreation Ground off Pound Lane. The girl suffered a stab wound to the abdomen and was taken to hospital. Her condition is described as serious but not life threatening. A 32-year-old man from Epsom has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, kidnap, rape and grievous bodily harm. Det Insp Nick Chambers said the girl and the man knew each other. "This appears to have been a violent and pre-planned attack which took place in a very public location," he said. "Epsom on Friday night is a busy place so I'm sure passers-by and motorists must have seen this incident unfolding. "I would like to hear from anyone who saw anything out of the ordinary in or around Pizza Hut or Court Recreation Ground." The staff member, who tried to intervene when the man entered the restaurant, suffered injuries to his arm which are not believed to be serious. The coalition of militias fought 73 days to drive out IS and say they freed 2,000 civilians being used as human shields on the final day. IS captured Manbij, close to the Turkish border, two years ago. Roads to Syria's embattled second city, Aleppo, and to the IS capital, Raqqa, pass through the town. "After the liberation of Manbij, IS members won't be able to freely travel to and from Europe anymore," said Syrian Kurdish leader Salih Muslim. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) coalition includes the powerful Kurdish YPG militia. They were backed in their campaign against IS by US-led air strikes on IS positions. Responding to reports of the human shields, EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said in a statement that IS continued to "pose a threat to the people of Syria, Iraq, the region as well as to Europe and beyond". "The recent military advances against Da'esh [IS] by the Global Coalition together with the Syrian Democratic Forces in North West Syria are welcome and the EU will continue to commit its efforts, as part of the Coalition, to its non-military fields of activity," she added. The roads through Manbij had become crucial to the group's ability to move fighters, weapons and supplies in and out of Syria. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the conflict from the UK, around 500 cars left Manbij carrying IS members and civilians. They were heading north-east towards Jarablus, a town under IS control on the Turkish border. The former Bishop of Derry died on Monday, aged 82. Bishop Donal McKeown told the congregation at St Eugene's Cathedral in Londonderry that the retired bishop was an "an apostle of mercy". An image of the then Father Daly waving a blood-stained white handkerchief on Bloody Sunday in Derry in 1972 became an enduring image of the Troubles. "His moral courage was evident in his passionate struggle against violence and injustice," Bishop McKeown said. "It takes enormous courage to be a peacemaker, and he was an apostle for mercy, whether as a curate, as a bishop, or as a chaplain in the Foyle Hospice." On Bloody Sunday, Fr Daly waved a bloodied handkerchief as he led a group of people who were carrying the dying body of Jack Duddy, one of 13 people were killed when British paratroopers opened fire on a civil rights march through Derry. Bishop McKeown told thousands of mourners that love had transformed Dr Daly's "blood-stained piece of cloth" into an "unforgettable symbol of divine compassion". "Today, we are grateful for Edward Daly and thousands of others across our community and churches who took risks and paid the price that peace might take roots in our hearts and communities," Bishop McKeown added. A message from Pope Francis was read at the beginning of the service. It said: "Recalling Bishop Daly's generous and dedicated episcopal ministry in the service of peace and justice, His Holiness joins you in prayerful thanksgiving for his life and in commending his soul to the merciful love of God our father." Irish President Michael D Higgins attended the funeral and said Dr Daly was a "very fine, decent man who made his way into the hearts of the people of this city". "I'm so pleased to have had the privilege as president of Ireland to come and recognise a great Irishman, a great human being and a such great, compassionate person in difficult times," he added. Dr Daly was a curate at the Londonderry cathedral on Bloody Sunday, having been a priest in the city since 1962. He was appointed Bishop of Derry in 1974. He was forced into full retirement in 1994 after he suffered a stroke, but he continued in the role of chaplain to Derry's Foyle Hospice until February this year. A number of political and church leaders from across the island of Ireland attended Thursday's service, including Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and former Social Democratic and Labour Party leaders John Hume and Mark Durkan. The Derry musician Phil Coulter was also present. Bishop Daly made headlines in 2011 when he said there needed to be a place in the modern Catholic Church for married priests He addressed the controversial issue in A Troubled See, his book about his life in the church. Allowing clergymen to marry would ease the church's problems, he said. The bishop received the Freedom of the City of Derry in 2015. There have been fears that such a decision could trigger fresh violence. The government said it would hold opposition leader Jean Ping responsible if clashes erupted following the ruling. President Bongo won August's election by just 6,000 votes but the opposition says the poll was rigged. Following the court ruling, President Bongo called for a "political dialogue" with the opposition. Correspondents say residents of Libreville were stockpiling food ahead of the court ruling. There were long queues at banks and supermarkets on Friday and the French embassy told its citizens to stay indoors. Riot police have been deployed across the city. Mr Ping had alleged fraud in one of the president's main strongholds, Haut-Ogooue province, where Mr Bongo won 95% of the vote on a turnout of 99.9%. Mr Ping had warned that Gabon could face serious instability if the court rejected his appeal for a recount in that province. The court partially changed the results of the bitterly-fought election, giving President Bongo 50.66% of the vote and Mr Ping 47.24%. The result of the election on 27 August sparked days of deadly violence. The search for 55-year-old Ian John McLoughlin follows the death of Graham Buck, 66, in a village in Hertfordshire on Saturday. Mr Buck died intervening in a robbery two doors from his home. A convicted murderer, McLoughlin was on day release from Category D HMP Spring Hill when Mr Buck was killed. McLoughlin had served 22 years of a minimum 25-year sentence for murder, police said. Another man hurt in the suspected robbery - in which thousands of pounds were stolen - has been released from hospital and is currently in what police described as a "place of safety". Police said they had found a number of "items of interest" at the crime scene but were unable yet to state whether the murder weapon was among them. It was unclear whether McLoughlin was armed, police said. Officers said McLoughlin might have left Hertfordshire and confirmed their search had "gone nationwide with ports authorities, police forces, airports across the UK all being notified and put on alert". McLoughlin is known to be a heavy drinker and police have appealed to owners of guest houses, hotels and pubs to be "vigilant". Det Ch Supt Jeff Hill said Mr Buck had received "fatal stab wounds" and police were treating the death as murder. Mr Hill said McLoughlin was "a violent man". He is described as white, about 6ft (1.8m) tall, with straight, greying, collar-length hair and of average build. He is believed to have been wearing sunglasses, blue jeans or three-quarter length trousers and a dark blue, light blue and white checked short-sleeved shirt with a button-down collar. McLoughlin was convicted of the murder of of 56-year-old Peter Halls, from Brighton, in 1992. He was also jailed for manslaughter in 1983, following the death of 49-year-old Len Delgatty, from Stoke Newington, in north London. Anyone with information on his whereabouts has been urged to contact police or Crimestoppers. Claudia Martins, 33, gave birth alone in the bath at her sister's flat in Knowle, Bristol, having allegedly kept the pregnancy a secret. At Bristol Crown Court, Ms Martins denied a single charge of murder on 12 September 2014. Police found the baby's body in a suitcase after Ms Martins had initially denied she had been pregnant. Paramedics were initially called after family and friends found Ms Martins in the bath with "a lot of blood". She was taken to the Bristol Royal Infirmary where she repeatedly told medical staff she had not given birth or been pregnant. Two days later, police were called to the flat and found the body of a newborn baby inside a small black suitcase. Ms Martins, a Portuguese national who is described as having an extremely low IQ, was arrested and admitted that she had given birth, but said the baby was stillborn. A post-mortem examination found a wad of toilet paper inside the girl's mouth, which experts claim was "deliberately inserted". Prosecuting, Adam Vaitilingam QC, said two police officers were called to the flat Ms Martins shared with her sister, Vilma Marshall, on 15 September last year. They were shown to the bathroom of the flat, where they saw and opened a suitcase. "Inside, wrapped in towels and in a black plastic bag, they found the body of a newborn baby girl," he said. "The baby had been born three days earlier to the defendant, Claudia Martins. "It is the prosecution's case that she killed the baby as soon as it was born and that she hid the body in the suitcase. "It is the defence case that she never knew she was pregnant and when she gave birth it was stillborn and that she hid it in the suitcase out of a mixture of shock and panic." The jury heard Ms Martins is originally from Mozambique but moved to Portugal before settling in Bristol in 2011. The case continues. Kinterbury Gate, near Devonport naval dockyard, has shown sharp spikes of plutonium and americium since 2007, Food Standards Agency reports show. A senior scientist at Plymouth University said more investigation was needed into how the potentially cancerous materials got into the water. The Environment Agency said the "trace" amounts were no risk to public health. Nearby Kinterbury Creek is designated as a County Wildlife Site "because of the interest in its maritime habitats" according to Plymouth City Council's website. The materials found, plutonium 239 and 240 and americium 241, do not occur naturally in the environment and are by-products of nuclear energy plants, said Emeritus Professor Geoff Millward, director of the radiation analysis unit at Plymouth University. "There should be absolutely no mystery about the origin of these alpha-emitting radionuclides, it should be known," he added. The Environment Agency said the spikes, shown in the Food Standard Agency's annual Radioactivity in Food and the Environment (RIFE) reports, were "most likely" due to a change in the government agencies that collected and analysed the samples in 2007. And it said the "trace amounts" found at Kinterbury "are most likely to have originated from spent fuel reprocessing elsewhere" and "not related to activities or discharges" from Devonport, where Britain's nuclear submarine fleet is serviced. The quantities of the radioactive materials found at Kinterbury, measured in radiation units or Becquerels per kilo (Bq/Kg), are well below levels found in other parts of the country such as Eskmeals near Sellafield nuclear power plant where 720 Bq/Kg of plutonium and 1,600 Bq/Kg of americium were found in 2014, according to the latest RIFE report. Dr Jill Meara, director of Public Health England's (PHE) Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, said: "There is nothing we have seen in these reports that lead us to believe that recorded levels of discharges of radionuclides to the UK environment pose a threat to public health - technology allows the measurement of radioactivity in the environment at levels far below those that would cause public health concerns." There should not be any plutonium (Pu) or americium sources at Devonport unless, that is, there has been some historic spillage at Bull Point and/or the old Saltash nuclear warhead stores, both of which have been out of commission for years. Similarly, there might have been a spillage from the clean-up operations under way at the Winfrith nuclear plant in Dorset, although most of this decommissioning programme should have been completed several years back. It could have been a leak from the French nuclear power plant at la Hague or an incident at sea. Nuclear powered submarine reactors do not generate much Pu, and if it derived from an incident involving a nuclear warhead then to breakdown the Pu a relatively energetic event, ie fire would be expected to have occurred. Dr Jill Meara, director of Public Health England's Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, said it was unaware of "any information which suggests radiation levels detected in the Tamar River pose a risk to public health". A Plymouth City Council spokesperson said the Environment Agency and Public Health England were "very clear" and "levels of radioactive material do not pose a threat to public health". A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said it welcomed the monitoring by the Environment Agency and "doses to members of the public in the Devonport area are very low and absolutely safe". The Edinburgh-based company said Jeremy Stafford had tendered his resignation "for personal reasons". Mr Stafford joined Menzies in October 2014, having previously been chief executive of Serco UK and Europe. His departure comes a few weeks after Menzies issued a profits warning following problems with its ground handling contract at London Gatwick. In a trading update on Wednesday, Menzies said negotiations over the airport contract had been "satisfactorily concluded". It added that since its previous update in November, trading had continued to be in line with its forecasts and it remained confident of meeting expectations for the full year ended 31 December 2015. The group also announced that former Menzies Distribution managing director Forsyth Black had been appointed as managing director of Menzies Aviation with immediate effect. Forsyth has been with the group for more than 16 years, predominantly in senior aviation roles. Mark Cassie, currently Distribution Operations Director, has been appointed as interim boss of Menzies Distribution. John Menzies chairman lain Napier said: "I am delighted to welcome Forsyth to the board with his extensive and relevant experience which we are confident will drive forward the implementation of our existing aviation strategy. "I also look forward to working closely with Mark Cassie as he continues to develop our distribution business into the e-commerce fulfilment market. "The board wish Jeremy Stafford well for the future." Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were given the death sentence in 2006 for leading a drug trafficking group known as the Bali Nine. The former prime ministers said they deserved clemency. An Indonesian official has told the BBC that the executions are unlikely to go ahead this month. Tony Spontana, spokesman for Indonesia's attorney general's office, said preparations at the high-security Nusa Kambangan prison, where the executions will be carried out, had taken longer than expected. Earlier, Attorney General H M Prasetyo said their move there was being delayed so that Chan and Sukumaran could spend more time with their families. Indonesia has some of the toughest drug laws in the world and ended a four-year moratorium on executions in 2013. It has insisted the executions will go ahead. Malcolm Fraser - who was prime minister from 1975 to 1983 - and all his successors gave their support to Australia's continuing protest against the executions. John Howard said the pair had "demonstrated genuine rehabilitation", while Bob Hawke told The Australian newspaper that justice should be based on human understanding. "These two men made a mistake when they were young and foolish," he said. "They have served their incarceration with model behaviour, and I therefore urge and plead that the government reconsider its decision to now take their lives." Julia Gillard said: "I personally would find it heartbreaking if such extraordinary efforts to become of good character were not met with an act of mercy, of recognition of change." Paul Keating and Kevin Rudd also added their voices to the plea. Australia opposes the death penalty. Six other individuals - from Brazil, France, Ghana, Nigeria, Indonesia and the Philippines - are also being moved to the high-security prison. Who are the Bali Nine? Who are Chan and Sukumaran? The current Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Monday he believed there were still legal options open in the case. Lawyers for Chan and Sukumaran have filed a complaint in the administrative court challenging the decision to reject their clemency appeals. "We have been summoned by the administrative court to appear on 24 February," lawyer Todung Mulya Lubis told a press conference. "This is an evidence that legal process is still ongoing." But Mr Spontana told the BBC earlier that the court filing did not affect preparations for the executions. "I can't tell you what will happen if the administrative court says the clemency rejection was flawed. For now as far as we know we have gone through all the legal process to carry out an execution." Australian media on Monday reported that the men's lawyers had written to the Indonesian judiciary alleging judges had asked for bribes for lighter sentences. Neil Thomas Douglas boarded a flight on Thursday night and came face-to-face with his lookalike. Mr Douglas, a photographer from Glasgow, said: "Everyone around us had a laugh, we took a selfie and that was it." The selfie was posted on Twitter and has been retweeted thousands of times. The photographer explained that when he boarded the Ryanair flight to Galway via London Stansted there was already someone sitting in his seat. He said: "There was a dude already on my seat. When the guy looked up, I thought: 'He looks like me'." But the pair were later to encounter a further coincidence when they checked into the same hotel in Galway. Mr Douglas added: "Later that night, I went to the pub and again, there was my twin. Total weirdness. We had a laugh and a pint." The selfie was posted on Twitter by Lee Beattie, director of Wire Media, who wrote: "Guy on right is the husband of my friend. Guy on left is a STRANGER he met on a flight last night!" Norwegian researchers looked at health anxiety levels in 7,000 people who were followed for at least a decade. The BMJ Open paper suggests that, while general anxiety is already recognised as a risk, health anxiety might also be an issue. Heart experts said anyone who felt they were experiencing 'health anxiety' should speak to their doctor. Health anxiety describes when people have a "persistent preoccupation" with having or acquiring a serious illness, and seeking prompt medical advice, without any symptoms of an actual disease. Participants in this study were taking part in the Norwegian Hordaland Health Study (HUSK). All were born between 1953 and 1957. They completed questionnaires about health, lifestyle, and education and had blood tests, and their weight, height, and blood pressure measured regularly between 1997 and 1999. They used a recognised scale called the Whiteley Index to assess anxiety levels. The researchers also used national data to track hospital treatment and deaths in the group up to 2009. And of the 7,000, 234 (3.3%) had a heart attack or bout of acute angina during the monitoring period. Even after known risk factors were taken into account, the proportion of those succumbing to heart disease (just over 6%) was more than twice as high among the 710 considered to have health anxiety. And the higher their anxiety score, the greater the risk of developing heart disease. Writing in BMJ Open, the researchers, led by Dr Line Iden Berge, said: "[Our research] further indicates that characteristic behaviour among persons with health anxiety, such as monitoring and frequent check-ups of symptoms, does not reduce the risk of [coronary heart disease] events. "These findings illustrate the dilemma for clinicians between reassuring the patient that current physical symptoms of anxiety do not represent heart disease, contrasted against the emerging knowledge on how anxiety, over time, may be causally associated with increased risk of [coronary artery disease]." Emily Reeve, a senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "It's natural for people to worry if they feel they might be unwell. "But anxiety and stress can trigger unhealthy habits, such as smoking or eating badly, which put you at greater risk of heart disease. "While we don't know if the 'worried well' are directly putting themselves at risk of a heart attack, it's clear that reducing unnecessary anxiety can have health benefits. "If you are experiencing health anxiety, speak to your doctor." Meanwhile, Manchester City strengthened their claim for Champions League qualification with a sublime second-half performance at Southampton. No wonder players from those two clubs dominate my team of the week. Do you agree with my selection or would you go for a different team? Why not pick your own team of the week from the shortlist selected by BBC Sport journalists and share it with your friends? Pick your XI from our list and share with your friends. For the second consecutive week I have picked Simon Mignolet in my team. The Belgium international made a save that won the match against West Brom and prompted manager Jurgen Klopp to hug his players in sheer relief at a result that got him out of jail. To be perfectly honest, Liverpool should have won this game comfortably. They dominated most elements of the match and should have scored at least one more, especially when Ben Foster became obsessed with joining the Albion attack in the final minutes as if he was going to somehow provide the equaliser. Nevertheless it has been Mignolet who has proved to be Klopp's most valuable asset in the past couple of games. Where has Jesus Navas' form suddenly come from? In the same way Victor Moses has found a new role starring as a wing-back, Navas seems to be doing equally well, but as a genuine full-back. Navas' pace has neutralised raids down City's right side, and in attack the Spaniard seems to have found a confidence to deliver decisive balls into areas I had never seen in his game before. Pep Guardiola finding this position for Navas, not to mention invest his faith and time in the player, has proved to be quite an innovation. It has given the team options and, with the introduction of a fit Vincent Kompany, managed to revolutionise City's back four. How good was it to see Vincent Kompany back and among the goals? I have seldom met a player who is more impressive than the Manchester City captain. When he scored his first goal for the club since his return from yet another injury, the delight of his team-mates and the travelling City fans was evident. However, it was his defensive performance that was most impressive. I said a few weeks ago that if Kompany had been playing in City's game at Arsenal this month, Shkodran Mustafi would never have scored the Gunners' equalising header from a corner - such is the Belgian's all-round aerial power and general inspiration. Arsenal got away without feeling the effects of Kompany's influence but Southampton did not. In fact, the Saints were blown away by City's performance, which was led by the Belgian defender. Great captain, great leader, great performance. When a centre-back scores goals in three consecutive games you have to consider whether the defender is just going through a purple patch or has a genuine knack of scoring goals. I think with Phil Jagielka it's both. The Everton defender is certainly going through a wonderful period of scoring goals and that is because he is good at it. His goal in the win against Burnley was absolutely superb for two reasons. Firstly because, more often than not, he times his run to perfection and gets his head on the ball and, secondly, because of his desire. The way Jagielka responded to the initial save by Burnley keeper Tom Heaton (goalline technology said it had gone in, by the way) was striker-like, while as a defender his ability to read situations at the back has stood him in good stead all his career. A top-class professional. It's not often I start my comments by commending a referee but on this occasion I find myself compelled to congratulate Bobby Madley on a tremendous game at Old Trafford - and so should Marcos Rojo. There is no doubt in my mind a less considerate official might have sent Rojo or Chelsea striker Diego Costa off. If either had received their marching orders for a little 'argy bargy' in the first half it would have destroyed what was a marvellous contest and first-class entertainment. I must say Rojo won the battle of the warriors and, actually, it was fantastic to watch him and Costa battle it out - under the watchful eye of referee Madley, who orchestrated the affair beautifully. This kid is going to be special. It has been a long time since I've seen a young lad look so promising. He is quick, direct, loves to take players on and scores goals. If you're a player with a bright future it doesn't get better than that. It took a wonderful save from Fraser Forster to stop the Germany international from opening his account but the Southampton keeper was only delaying the inevitable. The football played by Manchester City for their second goal was complete and utter bliss. From the moment Kevin de Bruyne (the king of the assists) won the ball in midfield, Sane was off like a hare, racing 40 yards to support De Bruyne, who provided him with the opportunity to score. It takes guts, desire and fitness for a player to get into that position and offer alternatives for the man on the ball. That is what Sane now offers a Guardiola team who look better every time I see them. Pep is getting this team right. It is not often a player finds himself on the front and back pages at the same time, but that is what Ross Barkley has had to cope with these past few days. However, the way the youngster has coped with some of society's excesses has been more than admirable. Professional footballers dealing with the occasional confrontation from a member of the public, or a crass comment from a journalist who should know better, has been an occupational hazard for years. However, none of that seems to affect Barkley. In fact, if his performance against Burnley was anything to go by, it seemed to energise the England international. His clearance off the line from a Michael Keane header was brilliant defending. When his goal came - and it was his goal, and should not have been credited to Ben Mee for trying to do his job and block the shot - Barkley deserved it. Precisely why the experienced Mark Clattenburg had to caution the player for celebrating his goal with the fans, bearing in mind the week he's had, I don't know. It seemed grossly unfair. Was Clattenburg so blithely unaware of the sheer thrill his goal and performance would have meant to Barkley under the circumstances? Well, for what it's worth, Barkley has shown himself to be a real professional, in the true sense of the word. He is the sort player who looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, but Ander Herrera is capable of making life very difficult for his opponent. When he was commissioned by manager Jose Mourinho to take care of Eden Hazard in the FA Cup tie at Stamford Bridge, it it ended very badly for Manchester United and in particular for Herrera, who was sent off. Not so at Old Trafford, where there were three massive points at stake. Luck plays a part in most football matches and it could be argued Herrera had a large slice of it with the suspected handball that took the pace off an attempted Chelsea pass, allowing the Spaniard to produce a world-class through ball for Marcus Rashford to score. His deflected second-half goal, which gave keeper Asmir Begovic no chance, was the final body blow for Chelsea - there was no way back for the Blues after that. However, it was Herrera's dominance over Hazard that set the tone for United's victory. Not since Italy defender Claudio Gentile outwitted Brazil legend Zico at the 1982 World Cup have I seen a marker nullify a top-class player so completely. Tottenham's win against Bournemouth was a walk in the park and it was Son Heung-min who led the Cherries by the nose. I must say the Lilywhites are playing some wonderful stuff at the moment but Bournemouth didn't help their cause one little bit. There are a few players in the Tottenham set-up who have distinguished themselves this season but the most improved Premier League player in my opinion is Son. He was brilliant against Bournemouth and seldom lets Mauricio Pochettino down when called upon. Another manager who had done a wonderful job is Bournemouth's Eddie Howe but he really must do something about his goals-against record. It doesn't help when your captain and arguably best defender cannot determine whether his team-mate had the last touch before letting the ball roll out for a corner. It was patently obvious the ball came off Harry Arter's boot. If Simon Francis thought he could kid referee Michael Oliver by letting the ball out of play then he made a big mistake. But if that wasn't bad enough, Bournemouth had seven defenders marking five Tottenham attackers at the ensuing corner and the ease with which Mousa Dembele lost his markers to put Spurs in front was quite alarming. From the moment Arnautovic hit the underside of the bar with a thunderous shot I knew he was in the mood to wreak havoc against Hull City. And so he did in a 3-1 win. Arnautovic could have had a hat-trick but that did not matter because it was good to see one of the most gifted players in the league actually fancying it. He seemed to be involved in everything Stoke did and when Xherdan Shaqiri is also on fire, watching the Potters is an absolute delight. The ball from Arnautovic to Jonathan Walters, who eventually provided the cross for Peter Crouch to score, was simply wonderful. I've seen lots of gifted players in the candy-red-and-white-striped shirt of Stoke over the years and Arnautovic must rank among the best of them. But sadly we just don't see enough of what he has to offer. This lad absolutely ran Chelsea ragged. I have not seen a single player this season give David Luiz and the entire Chelsea defence such a run-around. I have spoken before about how Manchester United must think long and hard about replacing Zlatan Ibrahimovic but I think after their game against Chelsea they don't have to be so concerned. Rumours are rife about Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann, and others, joining the ranks at Old Trafford, and that makes sense. But United have a special talent on their hands in Rashford, and they must handle him with care. To see this young man look so comfortable on one of the biggest stages in the world was one thing, but to see the United centre-forward destroy a world-class centre-back was something entirely different. What is even better is that Rashford is English. Media playback is not supported on this device Giggs, 42, ended a 29-year stay at United after new boss Jose Mourinho decided not to retain him on his staff. Ferguson says long-time rival Mourinho was right to go with "his own man" - long-time assistant Rui Faria. The 74-year-old told BBC Sport: "It is time Ryan stood on his own feet, got out there and accepted the challenge." Ferguson thinks his former charge, who was assistant to former United manager Louis van Gaal, has the qualities to make it on his own. "I talk about his poker face," said the Old Trafford legend, who stepped down as manager in 2013. "He has a bit of steel about him. "It is such a highly intense results industry, you need people who go into it to have a bit of steel about them, a bit of character and personality." Former Chelsea boss Mourinho, who succeeded Van Gaal, has worked with Faria in his six previous managerial jobs. "You have got to have, in your assistant, someone you have trusted all your life," said Ferguson. "When I came to United, I brought Archie Knox because he was a valuable person for me. I trusted him 100%. Jose Mourinho has had his assistant for years and, quite rightly, has stuck by his own man. "If Jose hadn't had an assistant, I know he would have taken Ryan." Giggs left United after failing to reach an agreement with the club over an alternative role. He has passed all of his coaching badges, had a four-game spell as caretaker boss when David Moyes was sacked at the end of the 2013-14 season and had already been linked with other clubs before his exit was confirmed. Ferguson feels the Welshman has the attributes to deal with the demands faced by the modern manager. He wants Giggs to "be himself" and make sure he picks the right club to join. "I think he is ready to manage and he has a lot of quality," said Ferguson. "He doesn't want to spoil that quality by going to a club where it is sacking a manager every two minutes." Ferguson nurtured Giggs from before he joined United, spending so much time at his house persuading the then 13-year-old to leave Manchester City that the winger's mother Lynne started offering to make his tea. From giving the Cardiff-born player his debut at 17, to his own retirement in 2013, they shared 13 Premier League title successes, two Champions League wins, four FA Cup triumphs and four League Cup successes. Ferguson was confident Giggs would be a great player the moment he saw him play. "You knew right away... the way he ran over the ground," said Ferguson, who was responsible for all but 22 of Giggs' club-record 963 appearances. "I referred to it like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind. His feet never seemed to touch the ground." Jay Risbridger said the move was for "personal reasons relating to his family and business commitments". The Bath PPC said the "unexpected timing" prevented him from being able to fully commit to the campaign. Both seats are currently held by the Conservatives but have previously been Lib Dem strongholds. Paddy Ashdown was Yeovil's MP for 18 years - between Jun 1983 and Jun 2001; Don Foster was Bath's MP from 1992 to 2015. In a note to the Bath and North East Somerset Lib Dems, Mr Risbridger said he would commit what time he has to campaigning hard "to elect his Lib Dem successor as Bath's next MP". The "unexpected timing of this snap election" prevents him "from being able to fully commit myself to the campaign to win Bath". On Monday, Yeovil PPC Daisy Benson said the "snap election" had come at "precisely the wrong time". Ms Benson said it would be unfair to her constituents as she "would not to be able to devote 100% of my time to campaigning" as she was in the middle of buying a house.

The PM said on the No 10 website that he would use arguments of the "head and heart" to keep the UK together. The UK government is preparing to release an analysis paper about Scotland's role in the Union, ahead of next year's referendum on independence. The SNP accused the PM of focusing on "an entirely negative attack". The Westminster government is publishing its first analysis paper on Monday - the same day the fiscal commission working group, which was set up by SNP leader Alex Salmond last March, publishes its economic proposals for an independent Scotland. The working group said its document did not determine what path Scotland should take, but instead offered options for reform should Scots vote for independence. Writing before the launch of the Westminster government's document, Mr Cameron pledged that his government would put the "facts" about Scottish independence to the public. He said: "As one of Scotland's two governments, the UK government has a duty to help inform people with hard facts. "So we'll be providing expert-based analysis to explain Scotland's place within the UK and how it might change with separation - and our first paper is published tomorrow. "We don't shy away from putting facts and evidence before the Scottish people. This must not be a leap in the dark, but a decision made in the light of day." The prime minister said the case for retaining the union focused on matters of the "head and heart". "It's about heart because our nations share a proud and emotional history," he said. "Over three centuries we have built world-renowned institutions like the NHS and BBC, fought for freedom and democracy in two World Wars, and pioneered and traded around the world. "Our ancestors explored the world together and our grandfathers went into battle together as do our kith and kin today - and this leaves deep, unbreakable bonds between the peoples of these islands." But Mr Cameron said the case for the UK was about "our future as well as our past". "I have no time for those who say there is no way Scotland could go it alone," he said. "The real question is whether it should - whether Scotland is stronger, safer, richer and fairer within our United Kingdom or outside it. And here, I believe, the answer is clear." He pointed out that Scotland had its own government and parliament in Edinburgh, with power over areas such as health and education. "Scots can take all of these decisions and more to meet the specific needs of Scotland," Mr Cameron said. "And they can do so without losing the benefits of being part of the UK and having a full say in its future - economic strength and opportunity, international influence and national security." The Scottish government, earlier in the week, published a "road map" from the referendum next year to full statehood in early 2016. The 16-page "transition plan" said that, in the event of a "Yes" vote in the referendum, independence day for Scotland would be in March 2016, with the first elections to an independent parliament in May. The prime minister criticised the SNP for discussing the final transition to independence, saying: "I know those arguing for independence are already preparing their separation transition plan, as though they've got this in the bag, but to me that is wrong. "It's like fast-forwarding to the closing credits before you've been allowed to see the movie." However, Scotland's deputy first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, defended the move. She said: "The Electoral Commission has called on both sides of the independence debate to provide more information to the people of Scotland and to work together to discuss what will happen in the wake of the referendum. "We have agreed with the Electoral Commission and published information about the transition to independence following a Yes vote. "The prime minister's remarks suggest he is ignoring the Electoral Commission's advice - despite the previous calls of the Westminster government for the Scottish government to follow their advice. She added: "Instead of spelling out a positive case, David Cameron is simply continuing with an entirely negative attack. The pro-independence campaign is making the positive case and preparing for the future. "By placing himself at the head of the No campaign, David Cameron is simply reminding people that he heads a government that Scotland didn't vote for and that independence is the only way to ensure that Scotland always gets the government it votes for." The bill was passed in parliament on Thursday with a quick show of hands by MPs loyal to the president, rather than the usual system of electronic voting. The changes include a ban on unauthorised tents in public areas and criminal responsibility for slandering government officials. The move has sparked uproar among the opposition, who say it is illegal. They have accused the ruling party of a coup. The US and several EU countries expressed deep concern over the new bills. As well as signing into law a series of bills, President Yanukovych also fired his long-time chief of staff, Sergiy Lyovochkin, on Friday. Mr Lyovochkin was rumoured to have wanted to step down after riot police broke up a rally at the end of November - a move that brought tens of thousands of protesters on to the streets the following day. In a tweet on Thursday following the events in parliament, EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele said he was "profoundly concerned by new legislation limiting freedoms". He said the move contradicted Ukraine's "European aspirations" and its commitments in the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, which President Yanukovych abruptly refused to sign in November, amid Russian economic pressure. The Ukrainian opposition warned the new measures would further inflame the protest movement, and called for a big gathering in the capital Kiev on Sunday. Anti-government protesters have been camping out behind extensive barricades in Kiev's Independence Square - known as the Euromaidan - for nearly two months in the freezing cold. The mass demonstrations were initially triggered by President Yanukovych's last-minute rejection of the EU partnership deal. But the protesters' demands later widened to include the fight against what they said was widespread government corruption and abuse of power. On Thursday, MPs from Mr Yanukovych's Party of the Regions, together with the communists and a number of independents, passed the laws amid scenes of chaos in parliament. Media: new laws a threat to democracy The measures were pushed through in a matter of minutes when lawmakers simply raised their hands, despite the protests of opposition deputies who had earlier blocked the speaker's platform to try to disrupt the voting. One of the laws bans any unauthorised installation of tents, stages or amplifiers in public places. Those who violate the law now face a hefty fine or detention. Another bill provides a punishment of one year of corrective labour for slandering government officials. Protests involving more than five vehicles in "Automaidan" motorcades were also banned. This followed such demonstrations outside government offices - including Mr Yanukovych's countryside residence - in recent days. Party of the Regions MP Oleh Tsariov said the laws aimed to prevent further escalation of the ongoing political crisis. But the three main opposition leaders described the move as "illegitimate", saying the pro-presidential MPs had decided to use voting by a show of hands after realising they did not have enough support. Udar party leader Vitali Klitschko condemned it as a "coup d'etat", while Arseniy Yatsenyuk, one of the leaders of the Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party, warned that Ukraine was now bracing for another "wave of protests". In Washington, the US state department voiced its "deep concern" that the controversial measures had been passed. "We believe deeply that the people of Ukraine want to affiliate and want to be associated with Europe and they want to turn in that direction," Secretary of State John Kerry said. "And the steps that were taken yesterday are anti-democratic. They're wrong. They are taking from the people of Ukraine their choice and their opportunity for the future." The new laws were also criticised by foreign ministers from Sweden and Poland. The EU's ambassador to Ukraine, Jan Tombinsky, said "norms should be adopted through proper procedures, otherwise the credibility of democratic institutions and of the legal system is at stake". The force said 300 officers carried out 14 simultaneous warrants in Newport at 05:00 GMT on Tuesday, after three hours of briefings. Eleven men appeared at Newport Magistrates' Court on Wednesday charged with possessing class A drugs with the intent to supply. A further six were bailed pending a court date. Two men were released on police bail ahead of further enquiries, and nine others were being questioned. Gwent Police is still hoping to speak to two men, Curtis Hooper, 40, and Christopher Mears, 18. The raid followed information from the community about the supply of drugs. Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent, Jeff Cuthbert, said: "The spread of Class A drugs is a huge problem for society and the steps taken by the force to seriously disrupt the supply and distribution of these illegal drugs is to be commended." Officers were previously told not to shoot drivers of moving vehicles because of the additional dangers it posed, Simon Chesterman said. But he said the approach had changed in the wake of attacks such as those in Westminster, Nice and Berlin. He added officers now had ammunition to penetrate doors and windows. Last month, Khalid Masood killed four people on London's Westminster Bridge when he mounted the pavement in a car and drove into pedestrians. One of the biggest challenges previously faced by police was the risk of bullets bouncing off the glass on vehicles in such attacks, said Mr Chesterman, of the National Police Chiefs' Council. "We've seen some very horrible and different tactics lately involving vehicles and lorries," he said. "Within our policy, we used to talk about not shooting at a moving vehicle because of the danger we might cause if we fired at a driver. "But if the vehicle is being used as a weapon in the first place, there aren't many tactics available in relation to stopping it, particularly a very large lorry. "Driving a vehicle in front of it for example is not going to stop it. So you need to shoot the driver," he said. As part of the change in policy, Mr Chesterman said the tactics of firearms officers were now "far more aggressive". They are no longer being told to "locate, contain and neutralise" but to "locate and confront", he said. He also announced that the number of authorised firearms officers available to be deployed across England and Wales is to reach 10,500 by next year - an increase of about 1,500. In April 2018, there will be about 7,000 armed police from the 43 forces in England and Wales, and 3,500 from other forces, including the Civil Nuclear Constabulary. The government is funding 1,000 extra armed officers, while forces are paying for 500 more. Mr Chesterman said the capability of armed officers was "phenomenally different" from previous years following investment in recruitment and training. But he warned that concerns about the way police are treated after fatal shootings could act as a "tipping point" and discourage people from joining or staying on.

The proposal would mean fans aren't left with unusable train tickets after matches are moved or rescheduled. The Labour leader - who later saw his team Arsenal win the FA Cup at Wembley - is also pledging more money for grassroots football if Labour wins power. The Conservatives have called Labour's proposals "nonsensical". Mr Corbyn is pledging to make football a "game for the many, not the few" before he travels to watch his team play Chelsea at Wembley. The Labour manifesto commits to ensuring the Premier League upholds a promise to put 5% of its television rights income into grassroots football. Mr Corbyn took part in a training session with youngsters on a visit to Hackney Marshes football pitches, in north London, on Saturday morning, where he was also pressed by the media on his views about Northern Ireland and the IRA. Talking about football, he said: "Despite the game we all love receiving lucrative domestic and international TV deals, the grassroots game has been shamefully starved of funding over recent years. "Too often, youth football teams cannot find pitches to play on and when they do they are expensive and the facilities are not fit for purpose. "Under these circumstances, it is no surprise we are not nurturing the talent that we all know exists within the beautiful game." A Labour government will work with train operators, broadcasters and football clubs to stop fans being left with worthless train tickets and having to buy new ones when games are re-arranged at short notice, he will say. But the Conservatives say they were investing £30m a year in football and called Labour's proposals "complete nonsense". A Conservative spokesperson said: "There is more money going into grassroots football than ever before." The Premier League has also defended itself from Labour's accusation that it has "failed" to deliver investment in grassroots football. A Premier League spokesman said: ""The scale of Premier League support and investment in the wider game, and in communities and schools, is unprecedented in professional sport. "The financial value of this investment has been, and continues to be, greater than 5% of the League's turnover each season." Other commitments to sport in the Labour manifesto include legislating to allow supporters' trusts to appoint football club directors and pushing clubs to improve access for fans with disabilities.

Jeremy Corbyn is using FA Cup Final day to launch plans to offer football fans a "flexible football ticket" to help more people attend matches.

The UK body advising the health service recommended a new test is introduced which is easier for people to complete at home. Officials said it may put more pressure on services to diagnose and treat the cancer, such as colonoscopies. Public Health Wales is planning rolling out new testing kits while the Welsh Government considers the implications. Bowel Cancer UK said the wait meant "lives are being lost". Currently, anyone aged 60-74 and registered with a family doctor in Wales gets a bowel cancer testing kit through the post every two years. These tests compare three stool samples over a two-week period to see if there are any traces of blood present - one of the tell-tale signs that something might be wrong. The new test, called a faecal immunochemical test (Fit) requires just one sample to be tested. It means it is less time-consuming for patients, which in turn makes them more likely to complete and return their samples for testing. "Bowel cancer screening saves lives so we must ensure more people complete and return the test when they receive it in the post," Deborah Alsina, chief executive of Bowel Cancer UK, said. "Screening can detect bowel cancer at an early stage in people with no symptoms, when it is easier to treat." She said the best way to improve screening uptake was to introduce the Fit tests. "The test has been proven to be more accurate and easier for people to complete," she said. Bowel cancer is the third biggest cancer killer in Wales with 1,000 people dying every year. If it is diagnosed at the earliest stages it is treatable and most patients survive. The UK National Screening Committee recommended introducing the new tests earlier this year and the issue was raised by the Welsh Screening Committee in January. The Welsh Government is considering increased pressure on the NHS and is expected to report back to the next meeting of the Welsh Screening Committee. A spokesman for the government said: "Earlier this year the Wales Screening Committee confirmed that Public Health Wales should continue with their planning to introduce Fit testing so as not to cause any unnecessary delays."

A delay in implementing new ways to screen for bowel cancer in Wales is risking lives, a charity has said.

The DLI Museum in Durham could see its collection relocated to Spennymoor. In a report for Durham County Council's Cabinet, council officers said the building was too expensive to maintain and temporary exhibits would instead be held at Durham University. The regiment which owns the memorabilia said it was sad but "optimistic for the future". The DLI Museum opened in 1968 and has exhibits such as uniforms and firearms dating from 1758 to 2011. Terry Collins, the council's neighbourhood services director, said the museum cost £397,000 to maintain last year which equated to £10 per visitor. The average cost to the council for its other four museums was £1.60, he said. The council would have to spend £251,000 to prepare the new storage space and £70,000 a year to maintain the collection but the authority would save £221,000 a year by closing the museum, Mr Collins said. The trustees of the Regimental and Chattels Charity of the Former Durham Light Infantry said the closure was sad but the proposal was a "good solution to a difficult situation". The museum has previously been awarded quality status by Visit Britain. The cabinet will meet in Barnard Castle on 21 October.

An award-winning museum dedicated to the Durham Light infantry could close, councillors are being warned.

"I don't know where my daughter is," said Patrick Jardin. "I don't know if she's still alive or in which hospital she might be." His daughter had been working at the Bataclan concert hall as a lighting director. Confirmation of her death emerged on Monday but the search goes on for several others missing since Islamists opened fire on the Bataclan and several other sites in Paris on Friday night. The hashtag #rechercheParis has been widely used. And as the identities of the dead and wounded have been confirmed, many of the names and faces originally posted on Twitter have been updated with the simple word "deceased". At least 10 of the victims are yet to be identified. Hospitals in Paris said in a statement on Monday that of the 80 people admitted in a critical condition, 29 remained in intensive care. Another 48 are still being treated but are no longer in a critical condition. One nurse posted a message on Sunday saying that some patients who were not in a critical condition had not been identified and were labelled as "X". Remi Suquate was among the crowd watching Eagles of Death Metal at the Bataclan where at least 82 people were killed. Lola Ouzounian was also at the Bataclan, and also 17 years old. One young woman wrote that Lola was her teacher's daughter. "Let's help him, please," she tweeted. Most messages on social media gave brief details of those who were missing: their height, age and hair colour. One appealed for help in finding Seraphin Amafela, 29, with the simple message: "Letter K tattooed on left shoulder." For some of those searching for friends and loved ones, word eventually came that they had not survived. Sven Alejandro Silva Perugini, a Venezuelan working in Spain, had been at the Bataclan concert. For days, appeals on social media were made from friends and relatives at home. But eventually his body was identified. The #rechercheparis hashtag did, however, have some successful outcomes. For days, friends of Eli Sardon, a 23-year-old student, appealed for help in tracing her. She had been at La Belle Equipe restaurant when it came under fire. Finally, on Tuesday, someone from a Paris hospital rang up to say that someone of Eli's description was being treated. "Thanks, everyone, thanks. You don't know how much help you've been," tweeted one friend. The fifth hurdle on the long road to Wembley - after the extra preliminary round, preliminary round and first and second qualifying rounds - will see another 40 fall. Non-league clubs that do successfully negotiate this stage will be 90 minutes away from a potential money-spinning first-round tie against Football League opposition. There is a midfielder who gets booed because he shares a name with a managerial great, a club close to Charlie Austin's heart, the manager who played for Ajax at 16, a boss who married the Arsenal Ladies goalkeeper and a roofer who cannot stop scoring. BBC Sport takes a look at some of the stories behind this weekend's ties. Check out this weekend's FA Cup third qualifying round fixtures. Alex Ferguson: a name to provoke booing from many opposition fans up and down the country. And it seems it does not matter whether it is the former Manchester United manager or a 21-year old playing for Chippenham Town. If that is your name and your nickname also happens to be Fergie, you are guaranteed an earful from the terraces wherever you go. Former Swindon Town reserve midfielder Ferguson, 21, has grown accustomed to being heckled by opposition fans when his name is read out over speakers before games. Sir Alex won 13 league titles, two Champions Leagues, the Cup Winners' Cup, five FA Cups and four League Cups during his reign as Manchester United manager between 1986-2013. "I was born in 1994, the same year Manchester United won a league and cup Double, but I'm not a fan," Chippenham's Ferguson said ahead of his team's tie at Uxbridge, who play in the eighth-tier Southern League Division One Central. "My dad and I both support West Ham United. "But sharing the same name as the greatest manager of all time can work in my favour because people tend to take more notice of you. "Whenever my name is read out over the speakers before a game I think 'here we go' because it always provokes a reaction from opposition fans. "Sometimes it's good but there's always a few jeers too." Chippenham, who play in the seventh-tier Southern League Premier Division, have lost only two of their 16 league and cup games this season. It is six years since Charlie Austin last played for Poole Town but there are permanent reminders of the Queens Park Rangers striker's spell all around their Tatnam ground. The Dolphins insisted on a sell-on clause and add-ons when Austin left for Swindon Town in 2009, after scoring 64 goals in 57 games. It turned out to be a shrewd piece of business as his move from Swindon to Burnley 18 months later netted Poole £260,000, money the Southern League Premier Division outfit have since spent on ground improvements. Two new stands have been built, with Austin delighted to help repay the club that he served on his way to the full-time game and a call-up by England in May. "I didn't know anyone when I first joined Poole but they are a superb club, very friendly," Austin, 26, told BBC Sport. "I was a builder at the time and was getting up early to do shifts and then getting down to training and play matches. "It was a great stepping stone for me. They certainly gave me a platform to express myself. "I still get down and watch them when I can. " One of Austin's greatest memories at Poole was scoring a hat-trick in the FA Cup preliminary round in August 2009 to help his side to a 7-2 win over Barnstaple. "It was nice to get the win more than anything - and a £30 goal bonus at £10 a goal. Taking that from the manager was very nice," he said. Family commitments will prevent Austin from attending Saturday's game at Hastings United, who play in the eighth-tier Isthmian League Division One South. But Austin will be willing on his former club, managed by his close friend Tom Killick. Managing Rushall Olympic in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup is a world away from the glamour of playing alongside Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Ronald Koeman at Ajax. Richard Sneekes was only 16 years old and still at school when Johan Cruyff sent him on for his debut in the closing stages of a 5-1 Dutch league win over Haarlem in October 1985. With Cruyff spoilt for choice in terms of talent at his disposal, Sneekes was limited to three senior Ajax appearances. But 30 years on, the former Bolton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion midfielder is putting the philosophy drummed into him growing up with the Dutch giants to good use in his first permanent managerial job. "A few weeks before my Ajax debut, the youth coach told me I was going with the first team," Sneekes told BBC Sport. "I said I was too young and didn't want to go. I ended up sitting on the bench, it was about giving me experience. "Six weeks later I found myself on the same pitch as Van Basten, Rijkaard and Koeman. "After the game I had to ask someone if I was allowed in the players' lounge. I was 16 and had school the next day." Sneekes, who played in Bolton's 2-1 defeat by Liverpool in the 1995 League Cup final, has been manager at Rushall, on the outskirts of Walsall, since May 2014. "Everything I learned at the Ajax academy is in my DNA," added the 46-year-old. "It is a challenge to see if I can make my philosophy work at this level. "Obviously the pitches start to turn in December and January but you will never hear me say to my players 'just hoof the ball'." Rushall, who play in the seventh-tier Northern Premier League Premier Division, visit West Midlands rivals Stourbridge. "I was rubbish as a player in the FA Cup," replies Marcus Bignot when asked to recall his biggest moment in the competition. The former Queens Park Rangers defender, now manager of ambitious National League North leaders Solihull Moors, does remember one amusing moment in 1993 after scoring for non-League Telford United against Huddersfield Town in the first round. "It was on Match of the Day and I was voted 'Celebration of the Week'. I think it was a chicken dance, it's embarrassing now," he said. "The next day I was playing a Sunday League game and the opposition scored. "They celebrated... with a chicken dance. They must have all stayed up the night before and seen my celebration on Match of the Day." Bignot, 41, has been putting a smile on the faces of fans at Solihull Moors since being appointed manager in 2011. The club, formed in 2007 as a result of a merger between Moor Green and Solihull Borough, have grown both on and off the pitch in four years under his guidance. "In 2011 there were two teams - the first team and the under-18s. Now we have 32 youth teams alone," said Bignot, ahead of his side's home tie with Worcester City, who also play in National League North. Birmingham-born Bignot's playing career saw him play under Dario Gradi, Ian Holloway, Brian Talbot and Kenny Jackett among others. He is putting all he learned from each into practice. Bignot also believes a long stint in charge of Birmingham City Ladies, while he was still playing full-time, has also proved invaluable. Married to Arsenal Ladies and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Emma Byrne, Bignot added: "Women's football has been massive in my development as a manager. "It's no secret I want to manage full-time in the Football League. "I could have moved last year to a bigger club, but if I achieve what I want to achieve at Solihull Moors then it will be much more satisfying." Craig Bannister has got plenty to shout from the rooftops about after scoring nine times in four FA Cup qualifying ties this season. The 30-year-old self-employed roofer retired from playing after breaking his leg twice in the space of 18 months between 2010 and 2012. Fast forward three years and Bannister's remarkable scoring form has propelled ninth-tier side Sporting Khalsa, based in the Black Country, on their best ever run in the competition. "I have a young family to support and the second time I broke my leg, playing for Rushall Olympic, that was it, I was finished," the Manchester United fan told BBC Sport. "I'm self-employed and I couldn't earn money with a broken leg. "I went to watch some non-league games and started to get itchy feet again. I spoke to the doctors, got the all-clear, and then managed to convince my wife. "I got myself fit and haven't looked back." Khalsa, founded in 1991, entertain Northern Premier League Division One South Spalding United. 17 February 2017 Last updated at 13:34 GMT The latest incident happened at Forest Street, off the Springfield Road, at about 20:50 GMT on Thursday. He is in a stable condition in hospital. Chief Superintendent Chris Noble 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. The move to bring Fr Denis Chrysostom Alexander back to face trial in Scotland follows criticism by his alleged victims that the Crown was dragging its heels over the case. It comes after a two-and-a-half-year inquiry, sparked by a BBC Scotland investigation. Fr Chrysostom denies the allegations. Run by Catholic Benedictine monks, Fort Augustus Abbey school in the Highlands closed its doors to the public in 1993. Allegations of decades of child sexual and physical abuse at the exclusive boarding school were finally made public by a BBC Scotland investigation in June 2013. The BBC spoke to former pupils who claim they were abused by monks or teaching staff over five decades. Many of those then reported their allegations to the police, sparking a major historical abuse police inquiry. However, some of the former pupils had expressed concern over the length of time prosecutors were taking over deciding whether to prosecute. Hugh Kennedy, 52, who first told the police about his allegations against Fr Chrysostom, who now lives in Australia, more than two-and-a-half years ago, told the BBC this week he had been ready to give up. He said: "My experience of having brought this to the attention of the Scottish judiciary and the police has been quite frankly awful. I can see why so many men decide not to bother and why so many men decide it's just not worth the effort. "It's almost as if it feels as though if I'm held at bay long enough, this matter will just go away." The BBC interviewed Mr Kennedy on Tuesday. That same day he had been told by his liaison at the Crown there was no news about his case. On Wednesday, the BBC put Mr Kennedy's claims to the Crown, that it had been dragging its heels over the case. Today the Crown told the BBC it was seeking Chrysostom's extradition. A spokeswoman for the crown said: "Crown Counsel have instructed proceedings against Denis Alexander. Charges are being finalised with a view to seeking his extradition." This morning the BBC spoke to Fr Chrysostom in Sydney. He denied the allegations, and said the matter was being looked at by his archbishop. The final decision to extradite Chrysostom will be up to the Australian authorities, but it is now possible that Mr Kennedy will get the opportunity to face his alleged abuser in a courtroom. One other former Fort Augustus monk has appeared in court on charges of assault, a further seven cases remain under consideration. Moelfre inshore lifeboat launched at about 11:00 BST, along with the local coastguard team and rescue helicopter from Caernarfon. The lifeboat crew found the man in his forties clinging to his fishing kayak, having struggled to climb back on. He showed signs of immersion and was transferred to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. The man, who was wearing all the correct safety equipment, estimated he had been in the water for more than 15 minutes. Lifeboat helm Alan Owen said the man was "coughing heavily" by the time they got him to the beach "which is a clear sign of salt water ingestion". Mr Owen praised the multi-agency response, which he said resulted in a "quick and efficient rescue". In a nod to Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, youngsters will find their winning ticket in commemorative chocolate bars. They will be distributed to all 72 primary and secondary schools in the region to mark the railway's opening. One child from every school will win a return trip between Stow and Edinburgh on 5 September. The Borders Railway will officially begin operating between Tweedbank and Edinburgh the following day. Councillor Sandy Aitchison said: "All pupils will enjoy a week-long series of events and lessons around the themes of literacy and journeys. "This will include some additional prizes of book tokens as well as lots of interesting Borders Railway themed activities. "Those lucky enough to find one of the rare Golden Tickets will join fellow pupils from schools across the Borders to take part in the historic opening of the new railway line." The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it hoped to resolve the dispute during a round of talks, but noted that it had enforcement powers available should they fail. Google said it was taking its responsibilities seriously. The news comes exactly one year since the controversial ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union. Along with other search engines, the internet giant has been obliged to remove links to articles that contain "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" information about an individual. Under the decision, the person named must make a request to have the links removed from the results for a specific search. Google has consistently said that it considers it a mistake to make it the arbiter in such cases, as the ruling effectively does. The ICO confirmed to the BBC that it was discussing 48 cases it believed Google had not got "quite right" and has asked the internet giant to revise its decisions. The action available to the ICO, should the discussions over those cases fail, includes a fine and a legally binding enforcement notice that could lead to court action, if the firm refused to comply. But the body would only take such action if it found that Google's processes were not fit for purpose, rather than as a direct reaction to a single complaint. An ICO spokesman said: "Since the details of the right to be forgotten ruling were first announced, we have handled over 183 complaints from those unhappy with Google's response to their takedown request. "In around three-quarters of these cases, we have ruled that Google was correct to turn down an individual's request to have their information removed. This suggests that, for the most part, Google are getting the balance right between the protection of the individual's privacy and the interest of internet users." But, it said, there were still a "significant number of cases where we believe Google haven't got it quite right and they have been asked to revise their decision". While Google has done so in "many cases", the ICO said it was "looking to resolve the remaining cases through discussion and negotiation with Google, though we have enforcement powers available to us if required". A Google spokesman said: "We haven't always got privacy right in Europe, not just because of errors we've made, but our attitude too. But our swift and thoughtful implementation of the right to be forgotten ruling showed that for Google this was a genuine 'we get it' moment. "We've also worked hard to give users more control over the data we collect and we're looking at how to make those tools easier to find and use. So stay tuned." Free speech campaigners have claimed that the ruling makes it easier for people to hide negative - though fair and accurate - references to them online and there have been sites set up to track the links taken down. The BBC said in October 2014 that it would publish a list of its articles to which links have been taken down. A spokesman said on Wednesday that that remained its intention, though a decision on when and where to publish has not yet been taken. However, others have pointed out that the ruling helps people avoid bad news stories unfairly dominating the results of searches related to them. Google has said that it has received more than 250,000 requests to remove about 920,000 links, of which 41.3% have been removed from its search results, according to its transparency report. While the ruling only applies to European sites, the deputy information commissioner David Smith told the Times that he believed Google should remove links on its US domain as well. The ICO is also running a review of websites and apps used by children, it announced on Tuesday. It will look at how information collection is explained and what parental permission is sought on 50 websites and apps. It said: "The same approach will be taken by 28 other privacy enforcement authorities from around the world, with a view to publishing a combined report in the autumn. The ICO will also consider action against any website or app that it finds to be breaking the Data Protection Act." Consultant Peter O'Keefe was suspended from Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales in 2012 and dismissed in August 2015. On Friday, an employment tribunal heard claims his dismissal was prompted by concerns he voiced over patient safety. However, the health board said his claim was "frivolous". Mr O'Keefe, 51, had been suspended on full pay for more than three years while the health board investigated allegations against him. He was dismissed with immediate effect in August last year after an independent inquiry panel found he had bullied and harassed 26 colleagues over a ten-year period. An appeal panel subsequently upheld the ruling in the case. But the preliminary hearing in Cardiff on Friday was told by Mr O'Keefe's lawyers he was sacked after raising concerns to managers following a report into the death of a patient in 2011. The concerns were shared with those he was criticising who "took umbrage" and demanded he withdraw the comments, the tribunal heard. There was also a "reluctance or refusal" by some to work with him. Yet Giles Powell, counsel for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, told the hearing Mr O'Keefe's unfair-dismissal claim should be struck out as it was "frivolous". He added that Mr O'Keefe himself had conceded he "behaved unacceptably". Judge Wayne Beard reserved judgment on whether to grant the health board's application to strike out his claim to a date yet to be decided. If it chose, Mario Draghi, the president of the ECB, could put Greece in a position that would leave it little choice but to start printing its own currency, and in effect leave the eurozone. But it's not a card that he wants to play. As the clouds have gathered again over Greece's economic future, customers have been pulling their money out of Greek commercial banks. Private sector bank deposits in Greece declined by €23bn (£16.3bn), or 18%, between November 2014 and March this year, according to figures from the Bank of Greece. So far, what has happened in Greece is not a full-scale run on the banks. In a previous episode of instability three years ago it was called a "bank jog". But it's at a fast enough pace to be causing concern. Because if customers take enough of their money out, and if the bank can't raise enough new funds to allow them to pay out, then banks could fail. For now, banks are able to rely on borrowing money from the Bank of Greece (the country's central bank) using an arrangement known as emergency liquidity assistance (ELA). That is currently reported to be €80bn and has been raised repeatedly in recent months. And this is the trump card: it's the ECB's governing council that tells the Bank of Greece whether this should continue, whether it should limit the payments or whether it should stop funding the banks. Is there a point beyond which the ECB would call a halt to the funds channelled through the ELA? Certainly, though it's hard to put a specific figure on it. The key point is that ELA is supposed to be available to European banks that are solvent, but facing temporary liquidity problems. So if the ECB's governing council took the view that the Greek banks were not solvent it would have to tell the Bank of Greece to pull the plug. It's a principle behind ELA and behind central bank lending in general - you don't, or should not, lend to and prop up banks that are bust. Although admittedly it is not always straightforward in practice to identify whether a struggling bank is bust or just having temporary liquidity trouble. We know enough about what happened in the case of Cyprus to be sure that it is something the ECB would consider. The ECB did publicly threaten to put a stop to ELA for the Cypriot banks, unless there was an international bailout that would ensure they were solvent. There was a similar threat to Ireland in correspondence which has since been published. As for the Greek banks today, the ECB's president Mario Draghi has said they will continue to receive funding as long they remain solvent and have adequate collateral. The view at the ECB appears to be that the banks are in temporary difficulty. Executive board member Peter Praet said in April: "The assessment that we get is that [Greek] banks are solvent, but it is true that it is a stressful situation". The financial troubles of the Greek state are one of the sources of that stress. There's a kind of toxic embrace between the finances of the government and the banks. The banks own Greek government debt, and some of their capital is dependent on the Greek state. So, if the interminable political negotiations between Greece and its eurozone partners conclude with the Greek state defaulting on its debts, the country's banks will also sustain financial damage. For its part the government is ticking over - just - partly due to short term borrowing from the banks. Another factor with a bearing on the banks' solvency is the performance of the Greek economy. The worse it gets the more loans to business and households will not be repaid. If at any point the ECB concludes the banks are bust it could yet decide to order the Bank of Greece to turn off the taps. Arguably, it should do so in those circumstances. If the ECB pulled the plug, then Greece's banks would collapse. The government could try to impose financial controls (as Cyprus did for a time) but the banking expert Frances Coppola doesn't think that would work. Instead, she writes, if the ELA were turned off: "Greece would have no choice but to create a completely new currency and reflate its economy directly via the central bank. That means leaving the euro, at least temporarily." So the ECB's trump card, if it were played, could have very dramatic consequences that would be profoundly political. It is arguable that, legally, giving up the euro is incompatible with staying in the European Union. In those circumstances, perhaps Greece would make closer friends with other powers that the EU doesn't greatly care for, such as Russia and China. There is also the idea built into EU treaties and ideology that the euro is supposed to be for ever. A departure from that principle would have serious political ramifications and as such would constitute intervention far beyond the remit of what was envisaged for a technocratic central bank. The ECB's main job is supposed to be stabilising prices - not redrawing the European political map. It is far from relishing the powerful hand of cards it holds. The bank probably wishes it wasn't at the table, or better still: that there was no game underway at all. The man was arrested in Strabane, County Tyrone, on Friday morning. Police said he had been released unconditionally. So when Google announced that Sundar Pichai was taking the reins on Monday, his promotion gained thousands of column inches worldwide - not least of all in his native India. The Hindu newspaper called the news "a bonus for people of Indian-origin world over". The Times of India hailed the "quiet yet thoughtful" man from Chennai (Madras). But his ascent is far from unique. In fact, it is becoming ever more common for major international companies to have an Indian-born CEO. One study, by the University of Southern New Hampshire, says that Indian managers are more successful because of "a paradoxical blend of genuine personal humility and intense professional will". Whatever the model is, it seems to be working. Mr Pichai is the latest, and the most high-profile, Indian-born CEO. You can read more about him here - but here are five more Indian-born CEOs who are making waves. Mr Nadella, 47, who was named the head of Microsoft in February last year, was one of the first to tweet his congratulations to Mr Pichai on Monday. On his first day in the job, the father-of-three sent an email to all staff, calling it "a very humbling day for me". "I am... defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning," he told staff. "I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete. "I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things." Born in Hyderabad, he joined the company in 1992 and was previously in charge of Microsoft's Cloud OS service, which powers products such as Bing, Skype and Xbox Live. Microsoft's man at the top After working for Nestle, then PepsiCo, Mr Banga - who is from Pune - took over as CEO of the credit card company in July 2010. He began his career with Nestle in 1981. In a speech in April to his alma mater, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), he outlined what he called the "grand plan" he had at the start of his career. "Get with somebody good. Get with somebody global. Do something that interested me. That's it. So, don't stress if you haven't got a detailed plan for your life. Anyone can have a good idea or plan; what makes it great is execution." He also outlined six main lessons for good leadership: Named the third most powerful woman in business by Fortune magazine last year, Ms Nooyi was, like Sundar Pichai, born in Chennai. She was named CEO of PepsiCo in 2006, having joined the company in 1994. The company she presides over is a food and drinks giant: some of the brands owned by PepsiCo include Starbucks, Muller, Frito-Lay and Tropicana. The company says 22 of its brands are each worth more than $1bn (£640m). "In my case, I benefited because I grew up outside of the United States," Ms Nooyi said in an interview in March. "I understand exactly how the world works, and I could see the world through the eyes of people from outside the United States." Mr Menezes, from Pune, is another IIM graduate. He took over as head of the British drinks giant Diageo in July 2013. Like Ajay Banga, he began his career with Nestle in 1981. Among the brands the company owns are Guinness, Johnnie Walker whisky, Smirnoff vodka and Captain Morgan rum. One of his biggest moves as CEO was to buy a majority stake in India's United Spirits company, though that deal has since provided Diageo with a number of headaches. Mr Narayen, from Hyderabad, has run the software firm since December 2007. He began his career with Apple. "There's an Indian community that's vibrant and thriving," he said of Silicon Valley in an interview in February. "We attribute a lot of that to the importance of education that we all grew up with." In the interview, he said Hyderabad's schools - modelled on the British public school system - helped his progression, as did having a foreigner's appreciation of the opportunity the US had given him. Dozens of trainee drivers had MRI scans before and after they acquired "The Knowledge", memorising hundreds of journeys and street names. The University College London team, writing in Current Biology, found brain parts linked to memory grew bigger. They said it proved the brain could adapt to new tasks, even in adulthood. Earlier studies of the brain of the cabbie had already noted the increase in "grey matter" in the hippocampus, an area found at the base of the brain. However this research tried to work out if the change had happened during the intensive learning period prior to starting work, or on the job itself. They scanned a total of 79 trainees, just before they started to learn the "All-London" Knowledge, which can take between two and four years to complete. Would-be taxi drivers have to learn 320 routes within a six mile radius of Charing Cross, which covers a mind-boggling 25,000 streets and 20,000 landmarks and places of interest. Throughout the process, any changes to their brains were mapped by regular MRI scans. Compared with similar scans from non-taxi drivers, those who had attempted the Knowledge had increased the size of the posterior hippocampus - the rear section of the hippocampus which lies at the front of the brain. As would be expected, they were better at memory tasks involving London landmarks than the non-cabbies, but this advantage appeared to come at a price, as the non-cabbies outperformed them in other memory tasks, such as recalling complex visual information. Prof Eleanor Maguire, who led the study, said: "The human brain remains 'plastic', even in adult life, allowing it to adapt when we learn new tasks. "By following the trainee taxi drivers over time as they acquired - or failed to acquire - the Knowledge, a uniquely challenging spatial memory task, we have seen directly and within individuals how the structure of the hippocampus can change with external stimulation. "This offers encouragement for adults who want to learn new skills later in life." The reasons why the brain was able to adapt remain unclear, although the hippocampus is one of the few areas of the brain in which new cells can grow. Dr John Williams, head of neuroscience and mental health at the Wellcome Trust, which helped fund the research, said: "Only a few studies have shown direct evidence for plasticity in the adult human brain related to vital functions such as memory, so this new work makes an important contribution." Istvan Balla, 54, from Hungary, is due to appear at Cannock Magistrates Court on Thursday, Staffordshire Police said. Central Motorway Policing Group were called to the motorway after drivers called 999 reporting a lorry going in the wrong direction. It happened between junction T4 and Weeford Plaza, near Lichfield. Ex-shadow business secretary Ms Eagle said she wanted to bring the party and the country "back together". Labour Party general secretary Iain McNicol said he had received enough nominations to trigger a contest. Mr Corbyn has refused to step down since losing the support of most of his MPs in a vote of no confidence. Launching her leadership bid, Ms Eagle said: "I'm not a Blairite. I'm not a Brownite. I'm not a Corbynista. I am my own woman." The party's ruling committee, the National Executive Committee, is expected to decide this week whether Mr Corbyn needs the backing of MPs to stand in the contest. Ms Eagle said she would not have stood for leader "if I did not think I could be a good prime minister for Britain". "These are dark times for Labour. And they are dangerous times for our country." Ms Eagle said Mr Corbyn, who has faced numerous frontbench resignations - including her own on 27 June - was unable to hold the government to account and then replace it by winning a general election. "Jeremy Corbyn is unable to provide the leadership this huge task needs," she said. "I believe I can." When asked if her chances were doomed if Mr Corbyn was allowed on the leadership ballot paper, she said: "I don't go in for suicide missions." She said the EU referendum result had left the UK "divided and uncertain". While she had supported the Remain campaign, she said the vote to leave was for many "a howl of pain". The questions now were how to bring hope to parts of the country that felt neglected, how to protect jobs, investment and living standards and how to remain an open, tolerant society, she said. Ms Eagle said she would "not stand back and allow Britain to become a one-party Tory state". "It's about giving hope to people all over the country that Labour can be an alternative government, ready and equipped to serve," she said. "I will unite, I will not divide. I can bring our party together again." Another potential leadership contender, Owen Smith, said earlier that he was to hold crisis talks with Mr Corbyn to put ideas to him about how to "avert a damaging contest" and a party split. But Mr Corbyn has said he would not "betray" the party members who elected him last year by standing down. He has also suggested he would be willing to challenge the executive's decision in court if they say he is not automatically included on the leadership ballot paper. There is a dispute in the party about whether, as leader, Mr Corbyn would be automatically given a place on a new ballot, or whether he would need the backing of MPs and MEPs to do so. Anyone wishing to challenge Mr Corbyn needs the backing of 20% of Labour MPs and MEPs - which currently means 51. Some say Mr Corbyn would also need this backing to be able to stand, but his supporters say he has an automatic place as leader. A long-standing member of the National Executive Committee, Christine Shawcroft, told the BBC the relevant section of the rulebook refers only to "potential challengers". And Unite union leader Len McCluskey has said excluding Mr Corbyn would be "a declaration of civil war" and warned of "the mother of all splits" if he is kept off the ballot paper. But Harriet Harman, former deputy Labour leader, insisted that Mr Corbyn would have to have the support of 20% of the party's MPs to get on a new ballot "because the leader needs to lead an alternative Labour government". Mr Corbyn received the backing of only 40 MPs in a confidence vote in which 172 expressed opposition to his leadership of the party. By Ross Hawkins, BBC political correspondent Jeremy Corbyn has suggested he may go to court if he's not automatically on the ballot paper in Labour's leadership election. His rivals say he needs the support of a fifth of Labour MPs and MEPs to compete; he says he doesn't. Two different and completely contradictory bits of legal advice have been obtained. Who's right? This is the key passage in the party rule book: Do the words "in this case any nomination" apply only to challengers, or do they suggest the sitting leader needs the backing of MPs and MEPs too? Mr Corbyn's opponents say there is a precedent. When Neil Kinnock - then leader - was challenged by Tony Benn in 1988 Lord Kinnock says he sought nominations. One barrister active in Labour politics, and a fierce critic of Mr Corbyn, Jolyon Maugham QC, told the Today programme the rules had changed since then and the words above do not force the current leader to find Parliamentary friends. Don't be fooled into thinking this is just a legal dispute though; the rulebook is another battleground for a bitter political scrap. Labour's ruling committee, the NEC, will decide and their decision may then be challenged in court. Whatever the result, the losing side in the dispute won't cheerfully accept it. Those trying to replace Mr Corbyn argue any leader who can't get the support of 20% - just 51 - of his MPs is a pretty hopeless leader. The other side say the argument shows the Labour leader's challengers are afraid of a fair fight. Constable Daniel Woodall, 35, and another officer were shot while serving an arrest warrant at a home in Edmonton, Alberta, earlier this month. Mr Woodall had been working for Edmonton Police for eight years. His funeral in the city featured a procession of hundreds of officers who marched to the sound of bagpipes. Mr Woodall's coffin was draped in the Canadian flag and carried as the cortege moved across the city. Four locations around Edmonton were set up for the public to watch a live video stream of the ceremony. Howard Burns, president of the Calgary Police Association, said officers' "hearts go out" to Mr Woodall's family. He told the Calgary Sun newspaper: "I know this is a terrible tragedy. Their lives will never be the same, but hopefully all of the support they've been shown will make this just a little easier for them. "Often the police can become the public punching bag. "But I can tell you, when something like this happens and the public rallies around our people, you have to take a step back and say, 'Wow, this is why I do my job.'" Mr Woodall worked for Edmonton Police's hate crimes unit after being recruited from Greater Manchester Police. The arrest warrant he was serving was for criminal harassment. Another officer, Sgt Jason Harley, 38, was shot at the same time. He was saved by his bulletproof vest. The CBC reported that the last member of Edmonton Police to be killed on duty before Mr Woodall was in 1990. As it became apparent that European clubs were no longer willing to wager on the 23 year-old target-man, he decided to try his hand in Algeria. The North African league has long proved fertile ground for journeymen or prodigious sub-Saharan talents looking to make a name for themselves and eventually play in Europe. In 2014 he signed for RC Arbaa and has made a success of the move - this season he has scored 10 goals and made one assist. Yet as the the current campaign comes to a close, Guessan and 20 other foreign players around Algeria are preparing their respective departures as a new law will force a footballing exodus of sorts. On 25 July, 2015, the Federation of Algerian Football issued a statement announcing that, effective June 2016, it would implement a law stipulating that foreign players could no longer come to Algeria to play in the professional leagues. "I did not believe it at first, as every professional league has foreigners and that improves the quality of football," said Guessan. However, the president of the FAF, Mohamed Raouraoua, rationalised the decision by questioning Algerian clubs' recruitment record. "Forty-six percent of the 28 foreign players have played less than half of the season," he stated. "The idea behind signing foreign players is that they are supposed to contribute. There even two players who have not played a single minute. So what is the point? We must ask questions." Reaction to the federation's announcement has varied. ES Setif president Hassen Hammar declared that he backed the federation's verdict, as he believes clubs are not recruiting responsibly. MC Alger president, Omar Ghrib, contested the decision, claiming that professional leagues should not interfere with how clubs make transfers. "If the federation wants to run the club, they should pay the players," Ghrib said. While the quality of foreign players has been being closely scrutinised, the FAF's principal justification for the law is a lack of fiscal responsibility. In February, video emerged of Mohamed Coumbassa, a Guinean midfielder, collecting donations from USM El Harrach supporters because he had not been paid for six months. To exacerbate matters, it later emerged that Coumbassa had played 18 matches for El Harrach without ever being granted a work permit. Conversely, CR Belouizdad's Gilles Ngomo is planning his departure from Algeria after spending eight years in the country with three different clubs. "I had some wonderful years in Algeria. I adapted very well and the people were fantastic," he said. 'Hoping for change' The Cameroonian midfielder is married to an Algerian and even considered applying for Algerian citizenship in 2012. He told BBC Sport: "If the law is necessary, then I hope it will improve living conditions for foreign players." Though the President of the Professional League, Mahfoud Kerbadj, insists that the law pertains to "all foreigners, not just Africans", analysts around the continent believe the law will primarily impact sub-Saharan African players, who will be denied access to a league seen as a springboard to European football. Another Cameroonian midfielder, Abenego Tembeng, who currently plays for DRB Tadjenanet, told BBC Sport that he had begun planning a move abroad immediately after hearing about the law. "I started making plans with my agent right away, but while we're waiting for the end of the season, we're hoping something will change," he said, "I do not know if this law will be temporary. I hope things work out and I can remain with Tadjenanet next season." But if Tembeng would like to remain at Tadjenanet for another year, Guessan himself has no hope of remaining in Algeria. After scoring 10 goals in 21 matches for RC Arbaa - and being the leading goalscorer in the Algerian league for much of the 2015/16 campaign - the former Nantes man is looking to play across the Mediterranean basin once again. "I planned a lot of projects in Algeria. Big clubs here had followed my progress, but now I am going to focus on moving to Europe," he said. "It is a shame because the Algerian league is not an easy league to play in. If you have success here, you can succeed anywhere." Juve, who are now 10 points clear at the top, led through Claudio Marchisio. Dybala, who had earlier hit the post, curled a brilliant free-kick into the top corner and then set up Higuain for a chipped third. The Argentina striker got a late second from Higuain's backheel before Ivaylo Chochev's consolation header in the third minute of injury time. That was the first goal Juventus had conceded in Serie A in six games. Palermo remain eight points adrift of safety in 18th. Second-placed Roma can pull the gap back to seven points if they beat Joe Hart's Torino on Sunday. Match ends, Juventus 4, Palermo 1. Second Half ends, Juventus 4, Palermo 1.

The 22-year-old Grimsby-born javelin thrower won gold in Rio in the F46 category, with a throw of 43.01m. Christina McGilligan-Fell, Mayor of North East Lincolnshire, hosted the private reception at Grimsby Town Hall. Arnold, who now lives and trains in Cardiff, broke the world record on her way to the gold medal. A private party with family and friends was held for her on Saturday at Holten Le Clay Cricket Club near Grimsby. Arnold, who started her career at Cleethorpes Athletics Club, said: "I feel so happy but it just hasn't sunk in yet. "This gold medal was not just me, it was all my family and friends behind me, and support from everybody at the GB team." At prime minister's questions, Mr Clegg said Labour's Jack Straw would have to account for his role in the "disastrous" decision to invade. Mr Clegg later stressed his opinion was a "long-held" personal one. Foreign Secretary William Hague, who backed the war, said his history on the issue was "different" to Mr Clegg. As regards the government's official position on the legal basis for war, a spokesman for the deputy prime minister said "it awaits the outcome" of the Chilcot inquiry looking into the background to the war. "The deputy prime minister was expressing his long-held view about the legality of the Iraq conflict," he added. "His views on the matter are very well known and widely documented." The Conservatives backed the then Labour government's decision to commit troops to Iraq in 2003, with current key figures such as Mr Hague, Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne all supporting the war. The Lib Dems, led at the time by Charles Kennedy, opposed the war and have consistently questioned its legality. Lord Goldsmith, attorney general in the run-up to the war, has said he advised ministers that it was lawful on the basis of Iraq's failure to comply with existing UN resolutions on disarmament dating back to 1991. In his first appearance at prime minister's questions, Mr Clegg told Mr Straw - himself filling in for acting Labour leader Harriet Harman - that he was happy to "account for everything we are doing in this coalition government". He added: "Maybe he one day - perhaps we will have to wait for his memoirs - could account for his role in the most disastrous decision of all, which is the illegal invasion of Iraq." As foreign secretary in the run-up to the war, Mr Straw was a crucial figure in backing the conflict and he told the Iraq war inquiry earlier this year that the UK could not have committed troops without his support. Mr Hague, who was not in the shadow cabinet in 2003 but voted in favour of the war, distanced himself from Mr Clegg's comment later on Wednesday during a statement in Parliament on Afghanistan. "The deputy prime minister has a different history from mine on that subject," he said in answer to a question from Labour MP David Hanson. "That is certainly true." It was up to ministers who were in power at the time "to account for their actions", he added. Mr Clegg was not an MP at the time of the war. The Chilcot inquiry is continuing to examine the background to the UK's participation in the 2003 conflict and its aftermath. However, it is not clear whether the inquiry, whose remit is to "establish, as accurately as possible, what happened and to identify the lessons that can be learned", will draw specific conclusions on the legal basis for the invasion. Several witnesses, including former minister Clare Short, have taken issue with the war's legality. The room is lined with shelves holding piles of tatty books in several languages. Sun shines through barbed wire and a barred window, casting a gentle glow on walls with peeling paint and a ceiling stained by damp. "Prison isn't what society thinks it is," the inmate continues. "I want to show the reality. This isn't what you've seen before." Ms Moyano participates in a photography workshops facilitated by YoNoFui, a social organisation that runs support and education schemes for women both in and outside prison. The core idea behind the workshop is to teach prisoners life skills while providing a vital space for their self-expression. Every Monday afternoon, a group meets to take pictures in a small yard at Unidad 31, carefully handling what looks like a wooden box attached to a conventional modern tripod. It is a hand-made pinhole camera. Light shining through the hole projects images that are captured by a roll of film inside the box. "Pinhole cameras allow a better reflection of the moment a photo is taken, because you have very few photos," says instructor Alejandra Marin. "It gives people a higher sense of conscience about the image. They take a much more critical view and think more about what they want to show." Liliana Cabrera, who spent seven years in jail, says the photo workshop was like a "revolution" and became a virtual means of escape for her. "For that short time, you are not a prisoner. It's like you're not there," she explains. "Afterwards, you go back to your routine, but at least you had a moment to think about other things." Photos from the project are characterized by a surreal blurriness, an effect of opening the pinhole for several seconds so enough light enters the camera. They depict forlorn figures, parts of people's bodies, sleeping babies (who can live with their mothers in prison until the age of four) or hauntingly empty interiors bathed in sunlight. Many are portraits of striking solemnity. "I want to show that I almost live alone," says Romina Ausqui. "Even though I'm surrounded by people, I am with one person - myself - and nobody else. In solitude," she explains. YoNoFui also offers courses in poetry, journalism, textiles, bookmaking and carpentry. It even produces a magazine chronicling the experience of its students. The organisation was founded in 2007 by Maria Medrano, a writer and social worker who had been holding poetry classes at prisons for several years. Ms Medrano says was profoundly influenced by a meeting she had in 1996 with a Belarusian woman. The woman had been arrested for trying to smuggle drugs out of Argentina after being tricked into the trip by a conman with the promise of an Italian holiday. "I didn't know her language, and she didn't know ours," Ms Medrano recalls. "She didn't have anybody and was here in winter, dressed for summer. I went to the prison with clothes and hygiene products to give her. We became great friends." Seeing that "world within a world" inspired Ms Medrano to start teaching and eventually create YoNoFui, which translates as "It wasn't me". Although the project receives government funding, the long-term goal is for it to finance itself though the sale of goods such as furniture and handicrafts produced in its workshops. "We are very conscious that the state has accompanied us [with funding] because we are covering a need they do not cover," explains Ms Medrano. But the work does not stop when a prisoner walks free. She says that YoNoFui also offers an important support network for women trying to re-integrate into society. "Everybody sees you differently - sometimes you even discriminate against yourself," recalls Lily Teomanopulos, who now works as a seamstress for the YoNoFui co-operative after serving a seven-year sentence. The 47-year-old mother of seven got into trouble when her tenant kidnapped and imprisoned a person in the house she had let out to him. Ms Teomanopulos had no written contract to show her connection with the tenant was only a business one and ended up implicated in the crime even though she is adamant she did nothing wrong. "It [your time in prison] stays with you, and that's the point of YoNoFui - to help you adapt and leave that world. You feel more secure with people who have been through similar things. You don't trust anyone and feel scared to cross the street," she explains. Ms Teomanopulos wants to set a positive example for other women, showing them that they can use what they learn from YoNoFui to survive without having to resort to crime. The photography workshops are aimed at helping prisoners gain "vision" by offering deeper perspectives on how to live. The idea is that the delicate process of using a pinhole camera will further that vision, especially at a time when point-and-shoot technology and mobile phones with cameras are ubiquitous. "Digital photography is a reflection of everything we do," teacher Alejandra Marin explains. "Nobody ever has time, you never finish anything before starting something else. "For me, pinhole photography is like a philosophy of life: take the decision to go slower and think more." An exhibition of the photos will be inaugurated on 18 July 2015 at the Haroldo Conti memorial cultural centre in Buenos Aires. For a wider selection of photos also see the online book Luz en la Piel (Light on the Skin). Mr Obama is expected to meet lawmakers as well as business and civil society leaders and youth on his trip. The 26 June - 3 July visit will be Mr Obama's second to sub-Saharan Africa as president. He spent less than a day in Ghana in 2009. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush both visited Africa during their second terms in office. Mr Clinton visited six countries while Mr Bush went to five. "The president will reinforce the importance that the United States places on our deep and growing ties with countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including through expanding economic growth, investment, and trade; strengthening democratic institutions; and investing in the next generation of African leaders," the White House said in a statement. "The trip will underscore the president's commitment to broadening and deepening cooperation between the United States and the people of sub-Saharan Africa to advance regional and global peace and prosperity." Analysts say such trips are common for US presidents after they are relieved of the pressure of domestic campaigning. Meanwhile, a developing threat of Islamist militants in the west African country of Mali has raised the region's profile in Washington. First Lady Michelle Obama is due to accompany Mr Obama on his trip. The property in Cheltenham, with the Spy Booth artwork on it, has a guide price of £210,000. The mural, on the Fairview Road house, has been the target of thieves, been fought over and vandalised since it appeared in 2014. Before the property was placed on the open market, Cheltenham Borough Council said a deal was being negotiated to buy the Grade II listed building. The Peter Ball & Co. estate agent's website describes it as "a rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed, Victorian, three bedroom end terrace property with a genuine 'Banksy' on the gable wall." The mural, located about three miles from government listening post GCHQ, has been daubed with white paint, sprayed with silver and red graffiti, and had people trying to steal it. Businesses and communities have also fought over its ownership. In a bid to protect it under the property's Grade II listed status, the "unauthorised" work was granted retrospective planning consent last February. Since then, the council has served notice on the property's owner David Possee demanding he fix the damage, "apparently" done in an "abortive attempt" to remove it, by April this year. An urgent works letter to repair the rendering on the wall with the Banksy on it, was also served. The boy from Blackburn was arrested in connection with an alleged plan to stage a beheading at a Melbourne event remembering Australia war dead. His trial is now set to start on 17 August at Manchester Crown Court. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of two offences of inciting terrorism overseas. He is being held in youth custody and did not attend a preliminary hearing at London's Old Bailey. Mr Justice Saunders said a plea and case management hearing will take place on 26 June when the boy will enter his pleas via video link. The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, tried to buy a Glock handgun from an illegal arms dealer in America, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said. The boy admitted attempting to import a handgun and offences under the Computer Misuse Act. He was given a 12-month sentence in a young offenders' institution at Cardiff Youth Court on Tuesday. The dark web is a series of global networks people use anonymously which hides the operator's identity. The NCA said when the boy's house was raided, evidence was found to show he had been involved in a cyber attack which shut down web pages, known as distributed denial of service (DDoS). He must pay more than £1,000 to the victim of the DDoS. Colin Williams, operations manager for the NCA in Wales, said: "The 'dark net' provides criminals with a false sense of security. Some believe they are anonymous online and can act with impunity, whether they operate on the hidden or open internet." When they start paying back their maintenance and tuition loans, this year's graduates will owe at least £41,000, The Money Charity says. Average outstanding mortgage debt is £117,162, the researchers say. The government says the student loans system is fair and sustainable and that higher education boosts employability and earnings. Rising maintenance loans and the higher tuition fees of £9,000 a year for students who started their degrees in 2012 or later have led to a hike in debt, the charity says. The first students on the higher fees graduated last summer and, under the current rules, those earning more than £21,000 began paying back their loans in April. The sum owed by students has risen steadily for the past decade, tripling since 2003, the charity calculates. "Much of this is driven by the introduction and gradual rise of tuition fees," the researchers said. "The other, often overlooked, driver of rising student debt is the runaway cost of accommodation, which requires ever larger maintenance loans just to keep up." A study by the charity last year warned that average yearly rents outside London had grown by £277 in a year between 2014 and 2015, with maintenance loans and grants failing to keep pace. University maintenance grants for lower income student in England Wales are due to be scrapped from next month. Meanwhile, a petition against government plans to freeze the repayment threshold for student loans at £21,000 instead of increasing it with average earnings as was originally promised now stands at more than 130,000 signatures, and the issue has been debated in Parliament. "For nearly half the young people in the UK, becoming a student will be the first step into adult life, with all the financial responsibilities that brings. We worry that these early, formative experiences of debt will leave a lasting legacy," said The Money Charity chief executive Michelle Highman. "Normalising large quantities of debt right at the start of people's financial independence risks setting them up to fail. "The size of these sums may also affect later borrowing such as loans and mortgages." The government says higher education boosts employability and earnings and the student loans system is fair and sustainable "as the [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] OECD has recognised". Ministers say the current system removes financial barriers for anyone hoping to study, with outstanding debt written off after 30 years. Scotland does not charge fees for first-time Scottish undergraduates studying in Scotland. Fees in Wales can be up to £9,000, but the Welsh government pays £5,100 of this for Welsh students. Northern Irish students studying in Northern Ireland pay £3,925 a year. China-based company Mobike is bringing 1,000 bikes to Manchester and Salford as part of plans to expand into European cities. The scheme features an accompanying app which uses GPS technology to show riders where the nearest available bike can be found. It will be launched on 29 June and is backed by both councils. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham welcomed the scheme and said he was keen to take a "positive approach to promoting cycling" in the region. However, he said Mobike was an "untested idea in the UK" and would be kept "under review". "We're conscious that our city centre is a complex and busy area already, so Transport for Greater Manchester has been working hard to establish a voluntary code of working with Mobike to make sure the service operates in a way that doesn't inconvenience other road users, pedestrians or city centre traders," he said. "If successful, it could play an important part of our long-term plans for cycling in the region and for making travel easier and more sustainable." Users will be required to leave a deposit. While the exact price is yet to be finalised, a Mobike spokesman said it was likely to be about £49. Riders are encouraged to use the bikes for short journeys at a cost of 50p per half-hour. Mobike said its distinctive silver and orange bikes would initially be deployed at "high-traffic locations" such as Metrolink stations and retail parks. London's "Boris Bikes" have been running for more than six years, while a similar scheme in Liverpool has also proved successful. Services delayed earlier in the day are now able to run as normal, according to National Rail. Roads closed in the area have now also been reopened. The incident happened as sports fans travelled to Cardiff for major rugby and football matches. Wales' rugby team took on Argentina at the Principality Stadium at 17:30 followed by a World Cup qualifier between the football side and Serbia at Cardiff City Stadium. British Transport Police says the incident is not being treated as suspicious. But Anne-Marie, aside from being extremely hot musical property right now, is a triple world champion in the style of Japanese karate. "I still love it so much and it's such a massive part of who I am," the singer tells the BBC ahead of her appearance at BST Hyde Park on Sunday. But, she adds: "I don't have time to even sleep at the moment, so not much time to practise, but another thing is my teacher is in Essex, so it's about whenever I can get back home as well." It's easy to understand why the 26-year-old doesn't have much spare time at the moment. She's been a little busy touring, recording and topping the Christmas chart with Clean Bandit. The singer's love of Shotokan and her music career have even crossed paths along the way - she showed off her moves in the 2015 video for her single Karate, and still regularly sings its praises. "Even just as a part of growing up I think it really helped me in my character and the way I was and dealt with situations, it's such a big part of discipline, I think it was the first thing I truly dedicated myself to. "And it taught me a lot about sticking with something and really trying hard and working for it, which is a great lesson for what I'm doing now, because it is so much hard work, and it's actually taught me how to love doing that." Anne-Marie will share a stage with Martin Garrix, Tove Lo and Naughty Boy on Sunday afternoon as one of the support acts for Justin Bieber's Hyde Park show. "I think [Bieber's] really cool, to be an artist from that young an age you've got to have something special, and his new music is great," she says. Anne-Marie may not have reached Bieber-esque levels of fame yet - but she's certainly heading that way. Since topping the charts for nine weeks in December as the vocalist on Clean Bandit's Rockabye, she has continued build up her own repertoire as a solo artist. In February, her single Ciao Adios - a song still impossible to escape or get out of your head months later - reached number nine. It was her first single as a soloist to break into the top 10. So, when can fans expect the album? "I'm such an impatient person, I've wanted to get the album out since last year," Anne-Marie says. "But luckily I didn't because I've been able to write so many more songs with great producers that I hadn't met before." "I chose my next single this week which is exciting, and right now I'm just thinking of the flow of the singles and all of them connecting with each other, and when the time is right then we'll release the beast." Asked if there are any further artists she wants to collaborate with, she quickly replies: "Eminem. He's a big one. "Also Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak, I obviously love rappers. And Alanis Morissette I think she's one of my biggest inspirations. And Pink. I think it'd be really cool to collaborate with another female singer." She also hasn't ruled out attempting a return to the festive charts, but adds jokingly: "I think the next song I try and get to Christmas number one will just be me on my own!" Away from the microphone, Anne-Marie has been steadily building a social media following, and using her platform to promote positive messages about body image to her hundreds of thousands of followers. "I always try and put out posts on social media about feeling good inside, and there's so much pressure for people to look a certain way and have a certain hairstyle or a certain lipstick. "I just feel not many people hear that you should feel good inside and feel happy within your soul, instead of needing to look a certain way, so I always try and talk to people about that." There's little doubt the singer has an exciting time ahead as she gears up for the release of the album - an prospect she's fully embracing. "I think what's surprised me about the music industry is that you never know what's going to happen. I've had to teach myself that, because I love to know everything, I'm quite a control freak when it comes to stuff like that," she says. "But you never know what's going to happen so I'm always surprised, and I've come to realise that that's actually a great thing."

2 April 2017 Last updated at 16:18 BST They met in front of the Royal Crescent to celebrate the Sausage Dog Club's second anniversary. The club was started by dog lover Lauren Barnes and now has more than 250 members. Marine biologists from Swansea University have installed the 100m (328ft)-long structure at Pembroke Dock as part of the MacroBioCrude project. Research assistant Fleuriane Fernandes said the rope has been seeded with "juvenile" seaweed which they hope to harvest in six months time. They also hope to test its benefits for the food and health industry. Ms Fernandes said: "We are looking into developing conservation of seaweed so we have a long-term supply for biomass, to know every year we can harvest a certain amount. "What we are doing here is kelp conservation but we would also like to develop other seaweeds like laverbread." Seaweed is also high in protein and nutrients, Ms Fernandes explained. The project, set up in collaboration with Milford Haven Port Authority, will run until July 2018. Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire police are handing more than 500,000 records, dating back to 1999, to a private software firm. The East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) said the move would help trace offenders more quickly. It added that it will save money on staffing and storage costs. Ian Gledhill, head of Forensic services at EMSOU, said: "We now have the imaging and print quality to satisfy the requirements of the courts, making the need to hold paper records obsolete. "This process will effectively make our bureau paperless. "Digitisation enables us to make identifications within minutes of a print being taken from a crime scene, increasing the prospect of tracing the offender." EMSOU said the move to digitise records is due to a shortage on space for holding paper records. However, EMSOU claimed storage space is under pressure after the three forces amalgamated their files last year. It added there was also a "significant annual cost to store them" and staffing costs will also be reduced. Prior to 1999, all fingerprint records were sent to Scotland Yard for storage. Northgate Public Services, a private company which also collects 50% of the UK's council tax, will be carrying out the work for the forces which should only take a few weeks to complete.

Fighting in the city reportedly displaced 90,000. Nikhil Joarder, who was in his early 50s, was attacked as he sat outside his shop in Tangail on Saturday afternoon. Police said he had been arrested in 2012 for allegedly making derogatory comments about Islam, then released. Islamic State claimed the attack although the authorities deny the group is active in the country. A number of similar recent killings in Bangladesh have been claimed by various Islamist militant groups. On Monday, Xulhaz Mannan, a leading gay rights activist and editor at the country's only LGBT magazine, was hacked to death along with another man in his Dhaka flat. A Bangladeshi militant group affiliated to al-Qaeda, Ansar al-Islam, said it was behind those killings. Last year, four prominent secular bloggers were also killed with machetes. The four bloggers had all appeared on a list of 84 "atheist bloggers" drawn up by Islamist groups in 2013 and widely circulated. The grim list of those who have fallen victim to attacks by Islamist militants in Bangladesh is growing ever diverse. Secular bloggers, academics, gay rights activists, and members of religious minorities including Shia, Sufi and Ahmadi Muslims, Christians and Hindus have all been killed, many of them hacked to death. That a university professor whose family said believed in God could also be murdered suggests the list of those at risk has widened further. Who exactly is behind the attacks remains murky. Bangladesh has myriad extremist groups and there have been few convictions over the attacks. Bangladesh has disputed claims by so-called Islamic State or al-Qaeda-linked groups for the attacks, instead often blaming opposition parties or local Islamist groups. But until the killings stop the government itself will face accusations of not doing enough to protect minorities in the Sunni-dominated nation. The US already has a presence in the capital Niamey, where it shares an airbase with France's anti-Islamist force, Operation Barkhane. MQ-9 Reaper drones are stationed there. But the new facility, in the central city of Agadez, will give Washington greater ability to use drones against Islamist extremists in neighbouring countries like Libya, Mali and Nigeria. A spokeswoman for the Pentagon, Michelle Baldanza, confirmed the US had agreed to pay for a new runway and "associated pavements, facilities and infrastructure". She estimated the cost at $50m but The Intercept, which first reported the story, said it is projected to cost twice that. The investigative news site reports that it has obtained files that show the project is considered "the most important US military construction effort in Africa" and will be completed in 2017. Drones, also known as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or RPAs (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) are used by the military for surveillance and to drop bombs, in places where it is too risky or difficult to send a pilot. The live-action remake of the classic animation makes LeFou, villain Gaston's sidekick, the first openly gay character in a Disney film. A board member at the National Cinema Company, which operates most of Kuwait's cinemas, said an edited version might be screened later this week. Disney is yet to comment on the move. Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast, has taken more than $350m (£282m) around the world and opened in Kuwait on Thursday, rated PG-13. But the National Cinema Company - which runs 11 of the 13 cinemas in the predominantly Muslim country - contacted those who had tickets to see the film on Monday to say the screenings had been cancelled. It cited "unforeseen difficulties" and promised a full refund. Board member Duaij Al-Khalifa Al-Sabah told the Associated Press news agency: "We were requested to stop the screening and further censor the movie for things that were deemed offensive by the Ministry of Information's censorship department." The film's "exclusively gay moment" earlier led to censors in Malaysia requesting edits, but Disney pulled the film from release there. A drive-in cinema in the US state of Alabama has also cancelled screenings of the film. The film sees Josh Gad star as LeFou, opposite Luke Evans' Gaston.

The impact on free trade was the most asked about subject. Below, BBC Economics Correspondent Andrew Walker looks at two of the most popular questions you asked: The only thing on the list above that the Prime Minister has said she wants to opt out of is the free movement of people - or rather the free movement of people to work and settle in the UK. She is very keen on the free movement of goods and services. She said in the speech that she wants: "the freest possible trade in goods and services between Britain and the EU's member states." She does not want to opt out of that. The freest possible means what we have today. For example: no tariffs on goods travelling in either direction, mutual recognition of each other's technical standards, the freedom to offer services across borders and more. In short, it means the provisions of the single market that apply to goods and services. It would be theoretically possible to go further still, especially in services. The European Commission says there are still barriers and it wants to tackle them. But for now, the single market as it is represents the freest we can get. The UK's Brexit plans: What we now know Europe sees UK set for 'hard' Brexit Pound gains on May speech but FTSE falls But Mrs May seems to accept that we can't have that without also accepting freedom of movement for workers. And that is one of her red lines. So once that has gone, the freest possible movement for goods and services will presumably mean something less than the single market, something less than we have today. How much less will be a matter for negotiation. In fact, the answer to many questions about what will "X" be like when we leave will depend on the outcome of the negotiations. We can speculate but we can't know for sure. The UK does have some cards which will encourage the EU to lean towards what the Prime Minister wants. Some European businesses have the UK as an important export market - German car makers for example. During the referendum campaign many Leave supporters were keen to point out that the rest of the EU exports more to the UK than the UK exports to them. That, they argued, means they need the UK more than we need them. The counter-argument is that EU exports to the UK as a share of national income are a lot smaller than trade in the opposite direction. That suggests UK/EU trade matters more to us than to them. Another reason that the remaining EU might want to be cooperative in trade negotiations is that many continental businesses would want to continue to be able to use the City of London as a financial centre. On the other hand some other cities, including Frankfurt, Paris and Dublin, might fancy a bigger slice of that pie. So there are some economic reasons for the EU to share Mrs May's desire for free movement of goods and services. But there is an important political issue that pulls them in the opposite direction. They don't want life in the UK to look too rosy at a time when there are rising Eurosceptic movements in many countries beyond the UK. Fetuli Talanoa and Curtis Naughton got Hull FC off the mark but Louis Anderson reduced the deficit for Catalans. Sika Manu extended the hosts' lead but Pat Richards' double pulled the visitors back in it before the break. Scott Taylor crossed for Hull FC before Jason Baitieri and Eloi Pelissier went over for the Dragons, but Hull held on. Marc Sneyd also kicked six goals as Hull's win took them alongside the French side in the table on 18 points. The result means Catalans remain in second place, when a win would have sent them level with Warrington at the top. Catalans' task was made harder in the second half when forward Remi Casty was sin-binned, but they fought back to within two points of Hull late on after Taylor's try had put the hosts 26-14 ahead. The victory was Hull's ninth win in Super League this season, achieved on the same day that head coach Lee Radford signed a new contract, and it extended their unbeaten run at the KC Stadium to four games. Hull head coach Lee Radford: "It's a big result, a big victory against quality opposition, but I wish I'd have stayed in and watched Leeds against Huddersfield! Media playback is not supported on this device "It was a bizarre game to watch, I'm not whingeing, we won, it's a win, but we weren't at it and there's so much improvement in us. We need to see that next week in the cup, we have so much to fix up. "If we'd have got beat, I'd have copped it. We didn't have the right attitude." Catalans head coach Laurent Frayssinous: "I am not very happy, we conceded 15 penalties, winning seven, and I'm not sure we had that lack of discipline compared to Hull. "Plus the yellow card, plus losing by two points - it's strange." Hull FC: Shaul; Naughton, Fonua, Yeaman, Talanoa; Pryce, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Manu, Pritchard, Washbrook. Replacements: Green, Thompson, Hadley, Bowden. Catalans Dragons: Gigot; Broughton, Horo, Duport, Richards; Bosc, Myler; Casty, Da Costa, Mason, Stewart, Anderson, Baitieri. Replacements: Bosquet, Pelissier, Mounis, Maria. Referee: Ben Thaler Attendance: 11,374 "I think the farms we gave to people are too large. They can't manage them," the 91-year-old leader said in unusually candid comments. In the past he has tended to blame poor agricultural productivity on the weather and Western sanctions. The seizure of land from white farmers is seen as a key factor in Zimbabwe's economic meltdown since 2000. The BBC's Brian Hungwe in the capital, Harare, says it is not the first time President Mugabe has criticised new black farmers - but his comments are surprisingly frank. They point to continuous problems in accounting for low production levels and the under-utilisation of farms, which reflect badly thought-out land policies, he says. Mr Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence in 1980, was interviewed on the state broadcaster ZBC to mark his 91st birthday, which he celebrated last weekend. He said he wanted to encourage farmers to go into wheat farming, and blamed low productivity on the new commercial farmers for failing to utilise all their land. "You find that most of them are just using one third of the land," Zimbabwe's state-owned Herald newspaper quotes him as saying. During the colonial era, the best farmland was reserved for the white population and in 2000, Mr Mugabe spearheaded the seizure of the land from some 4,000 white farmers. His critics say the land was handed out to his political allies and many of the beneficiaries were not given the equipment or training to farm productively, leading to the collapse of the agriculture-based economy. In the interview, he also denied pushing his wife Grace to enter politics. Last year, she became head of the women's league and in the ruling Zanu-PF party, and embarked on a nationwide tour, in which she denounced party rivals. This led to speculation that she was being readied to succeed her husband as president. "She is not the power behind my throne. She has come into politics in her own right," Mr Mugabe said. The headline of The Herald, widely seen as a government mouthpiece, is: "I'm still in charge, says President". The animal was snapped by Google's cameras at Coe Fen, Cambridge, and seemingly given the same treatment humans receive for privacy reasons. A tweet by The Guardian's David Shariatmadari highlighting the sight was retweeted more than 9,000 times. Google admitted its face-blurring technology had been "a little overzealous". The animal's face can clearly be seen grazing near the river River Cam on an image taken slightly further away, but Google seems to have blurred it for a close-up view. Google's Street View launched in 2007 and received widespread media coverage as cars mounted with cameras mapped streets around the world. To help combat privacy concerns, software is used to automatically blur human faces. Mr Shariatmadari spotted the bovine anomaly and posted it on Twitter, saying it was "great to see Google takes cow privacy seriously". "Udderly ridiculous," said one user in reply. "Google teat view," said another. It has also been reported by the Cambridge News and national media. So far the tweet has been liked more than 12,000 times. A spokesman for Google said: "We thought you were pulling the udder one when we herd the moos, but it's clear that our automatic face-blurring technology has been a little overzealous. "Of course, we don't begrudge this cow milking its five minutes of fame." Some 200,000 officials were given what was called "light punishment", while more severe penalties were taken against a further 80,000. President Xi Jinping has made a campaign against corruption a centrepiece of his governing agenda. Many high-profile political figures have been jailed after being caught up in the net. There are almost daily reports in the state media of officials being investigated or punished over allegations of bribery, abuse of power or other corrupt practices. The reporting body - the Central Committee for Discipline Inspection - rarely explains its methodology or what evidence it considers, and no other details were given in its brief statement about the punishments. The number of those caught in 2015 was released during China's annual parliamentary session. BBC China analyst Michael Bristow says this was no doubt a reminder to delegates gathered in Beijing that the Communist Party will continue pursuing corrupt officials. Some observers see the anti-corruption campaign as a way for the Party to rein in officials seeing as becoming too influential, or of pursuing personal vendettas. The Commons Justice Committee said the ministry, and specifically the National Offender Management Service, focused too much on jails to deliver justice. But it said the ministry had improved on previous "woeful" inefficiency. The government said it would publish its response to a consultation on the probation service later this year. The Ministry of Justice was created five years ago when the Home Office was in crisis and took on some of its functions as well as those of the old Department of Constitutional Affairs. The report said that, despite teething troubles, there had been improvements under the new set-up. But it said the department was too "in thrall" to prisons and called for probation to be given the same status by the National Offender Management Service. Source: Ministry of Justice If the two were better integrated, costs and reoffending would be cut, the committee added. And it said other departments should focus policies on stopping offenders returning to prison. In 2011, a record number of offenders sentenced for serious crimes had committed previous offences. Some 90% of those sentenced in England and Wales had offended before - and almost a third had committed or were linked to 15 or more crimes. Reoffending rates were highest among serious offenders who had been jailed. Last month, a report by prisons and probation inspectors for England and Wales found that serious criminals were leaving prison without having been on programmes designed to stop reoffending. It found no plans to deliver treatment programmes to a third of sex offenders needing them with most of the 11 prisons examined lacking capacity to meet demand for courses. The completion of a cafe as part of the upgrade of the Wilton Lodge facility in Hawick has been affected. However, it should still be ready by May this year - along with most of the other major infrastructure on the site. Gordon Edgar of Scottish Borders Council said that while the delay was "disappointing" the cafe would still open for the "busy summer season". A new bridge is expected to be put in place next month which will represent a "significant milestone" for the project. Most of the new facilities will be in place almost a year ahead of the overall project completion date of April 2018. McKerr, 18, has represented South Africa at Under-19 level but holds a British passport. Pillans, 24, joins from the Dolphins and will play for the county under an ancestral visa. "Following the retirements of Chris Tremlett, Tim Linley and David Balcombe we needed to add to our resources," said director of cricket Alec Stewart. "Conor is a part of this process and Mat will add quality and strength to our seam bowling unit." Pretoria-born Pillans has taken 114 wickets at an average of 23.72 in 31 first-class appearances. The right-armer, who has recently been playing for KwaZulu-Natal Inland, will link up with Surrey in the next fortnight. Surrey begin their County Championship campaign against Nottinghamshire on Sunday, 10 April. Joe Lynskey, a former monk who later joined the IRA, was abducted in Belfast in 1972 and became one of the Disappeared. The term refers to 16 murder victims who were secretly buried by republican paramilitaries during the Troubles. His niece, Maria Lynskey, will visit Coghalstown, County Meath, on Thursday. A search has been ongoing there since March in a bid to recover his remains. The specialist operation is being carried out by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR). Speaking ahead of her visit to the site, Ms Lynskey said: "This is a very difficult journey to make. Even though Joe was the first of the Disappeared the family didn't know that until 2010. "The thought that he has been left here for over 40 years is almost unbearable. Now we need to bring him home to give him the Christian burial that he was denied all those years ago". Mr Lynskey was a former Cistercian monk from the Beechmount area of west Belfast who later joined the IRA. He was abducted close to his home in August 1972. When the Coghalstown search began in March, forensic investigators said they had narrowed the search to about 15 acres of bog land. Ahead of Ms Lynskey's visit, ICLVR senior investigator Jon Hill, told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster the operation was "on target", but described it as "challenging". "The terrain is not as rough as at Oristown where we found Brendan Megraw last October but because it is now farm land reclaimed from the bog we have to reinstate it as we go along," he said. "It is only maybe 100 yards from where we have conducted other searches in relation to Seamus Wright and Kevin McKee who we haven't as yet found and it is just unfortunate that we don't have that right piece of information that can take us to exactly where they are, which is why we are always appealing to people - particularly people in that locality. "We are very conscious and aware there is information in that area that could come to us and assist with this investigation, that has not, as yet, come forward." Ms Lynskey added: "I am convinced that there is more information that could be brought forward not only in Joe's case, but also about Seamus Wright and Kevin McKee who could be close by. "The only reason we want anyone with information to come forward is to find the remains of our loved ones. One piece of information could ease years of pain." Shadow chancellor John McDonnell had said the party would back the plans, which commit future governments to maintaining a budget surplus. But he has now said Labour will oppose the charter in a vote on Wednesday, to underline its "anti-austerity" stance. Chancellor George Osborne said Labour's policy "was a grave threat to the economic security of working people". MPs will debate and vote on Mr Osborne's Charter for Budget Responsibility on Wednesday. Mr McDonnell, who signalled the U-turn as MPs gathered for a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party on Monday night, said he would propose an "alternative plan" for budget responsibility. The charter would legally prevent future governments from spending more than they receive in tax revenue when the economy is growing. The proposal commits the government to keep debt falling as a share of GDP each year and achieve a budget surplus by 2019-20. Governments will then be required to ensure there is a surplus in "normal times" At the Labour Party conference in September, Mr McDonnell pledged support for Mr Osborne's plans, saying Labour were not "deficit deniers". It was a long and difficult meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party. One MP said it was the worst they had ever been to. Jeremy Corbyn was apparently "read the riot act" and said nothing. Another described it as "shambolic", lacking "any aspect of democratic politics". A former shadow cabinet member told me it was "without doubt one of the most heated" PLPs and that "passions were running high". Others were clearly outraged at the shadow chancellor's change of plan. As he left the meeting, former cabinet minister Ben Bradshaw branded it a "total shambles". John Mann MP was furious, he shouted so loudly at the party's leadership he was easily audible in the corridor outside. Despite that anger, a spokesman for Mr Corbyn said the meeting had been "warm and friendly" claiming the only disagreement had been on the need for there to be more discussion on the issue. It all shows the seriousness of the cracks within the party and many in Labour will worry about how much worse it could all get. He told the Guardian: "We accept we are going to have to live within our means and we always will do - full stop. "We will support the charter on the basis we are going to want to balance the book, we do want to live within our means and we will tackle the deficit." But on Monday, he said there was a "growing reaction" to the "nature and scale" of public spending cuts, which had prompted the change of position. "Labour will set out our plan for tackling the deficit not through punishing the most vulnerable and decimating our public services but by ending the unfair tax cuts to the wealthy, tackling tax evasion and investing for growth," he added. Responding to Labour's decision, Mr Osborne said Labour's economic policy had "lurched from chaos to incredibility". "Two weeks ago ‎they said they were going to vote for a surplus - now we know they want to keep on borrowing forever. That would be a grave threat to the economic security of working people‎," he said. At the weekend, SNP leader and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon challenged Labour to join her party in voting against the charter. Welcoming the U-turn, Angus Robertson, SNP leader at Westminster, said it was "promising" but added it was "disgraceful there has had to be any doubt that the Labour Party would oppose Tory cuts". He said the vote would be a major test for Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, claiming Labour's credibility "would be in ruins" unless every one of its MPs voted against the charter. The independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) will be responsible for policing the new rules, which were first proposed by Mr Osborne in January 2015, and confirmed in his post-election Budget in June. The OBR is also expected to have the power to decide when the government should be able to spend more than it is taking in revenue, for example, when the country is in a recession. In her first Easter message as PM, she said "opportunities" would arise from Brexit and emphasised the UK's "shared ambitions and above all shared values". She said people should feel "confident" about Christianity's role in society and free to speak about their faith. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the Easter message of peace "could not have more urgency throughout the world". Mrs May, who is a vicar's daughter, said that shared values "can and must bring us together" following the UK's vote to leave the EU by 52% to 48% in June 2016. "This year, after a period of intense debate over the right future for our country, there is a sense that people are coming together and uniting behind the opportunities that lie ahead," she said. Mrs May, who recently criticised a decision to drop the word Easter from the name of an annual egg hunt, also spoke of her Christian upbringing in a village vicarage. She said she learned "compassion, community and citizenship" but that they are values we "all hold in common". "These are values that are visibly lived out every day by Christians as well as by people of other faiths or none," she said. Her comments echo those of predecessor David Cameron, who used last year's Easter message to say the country must "stand together" and defend Christian values. Mrs May also used her message to highlight believers in other countries who "practise their religion in secret and often in fear". She said the UK has a "strong tradition" of religious tolerance and freedom of speech. "We must be mindful of Christians and religious minorities around the world who do not enjoy these same freedoms," she said. "We must do more to stand up for the freedom of people of all religions to practise their beliefs openly and in peace and safety." Mr Corbyn said Christians throughout the world would be remembering "Jesus' example of love and sacrifice, and the Easter message of redemption and peace". "At a time of growing conflict, that message of peace could not have more urgency throughout the world," he said. "We hear painful stories every day, of homelessness, poverty or crisis in our health service - or across the world, of the devastating consequences of war and conflict, including millions forced to become refugees. "We need to respond to these problems head-on, through action and support for social justice, peace and reconciliation. Those principles are at the heart of Christianity." Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron discussed the row over the name of the egg hunt in his Easter message, suggesting it had had little to do with Christianity but was more about holding on to "something comfortable and traditional". "Given that we are turning the clock back to the early 1970s with Brexit (or indeed the 1580s if we do end up declaring war on Spain), then nostalgia is most definitely the mood of the moment," he said. "I don't want the Christian message to be stolen by the nostalgic nationalists, just as no Liberal should seek to appropriate Jesus for their own purposes either. "But the Easter message is one of internationalism, if you like - Jesus died for you no matter who you are or where you are from." National Secular Society president Terry Sanderson said: "We are the only country in the world with bishops in our Parliament, we have an established church, a third of our schools are Christian and we pride ourselves as one of the countries with the greatest religious freedom. "It is therefore difficult to take seriously any suggestion that Christians in the UK are not free to talk about or practise their faith." The session began at a top security prison in Athens, without some of the key defendants present. Security forces are braced for trouble, with party supporters and anti-fascist groups vowing to stage protests. Golden Dawn polled third in the January general election. Critics describe the anti-immigrant party as a neo-Nazi group. All 18 of the far-right party's MPs in the previous Greek parliament are among the defendants, but only a handful of them were in the specially-built courtroom for the start of the trial. Leader Nikos Michaloliakos, 57, who was released recently from prison, is being kept under house arrest and was not in court on Monday. The trial follows a lengthy investigation into the 2013 murder of anti-racist rapper Pavlos Fyssas by a Golden Dawn supporter. Golden Dawn has also been linked to the murder of a Pakistani immigrant and beatings of political opponents. The trial is due to last at least a year. The incident happened on Market Street on Saturday. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said the man was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast after suffering a head injury. The police have said that diversions are in place and advised motorists to avoid the town centre. Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness said the first group to be resettled will be based in Belfast, and a second group will go to Londonderry. Half of the "highly traumatised" people due to arrive are under 16 years old, Mr McGuinness added. The UK is due to accept 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years. Speaking after a meeting of the British Irish Council in London, Mr McGuinness said: "I don't have any doubt whatsoever, if they choose to continue to live in the north of Ireland they will enrich our lives." First Minister Peter Robinson said: "We want to see them assimilated into our society - we don't want them to be an isolated group." He added that he and Mr McGuinness "deplore" those who were planning an anti-refugee rally in Belfast ahead of the arrival of the first group of refugees. "That is not the people of Northern Ireland, that is not the way we behave," he said. "When the public get some sight of the refugees that are coming to Northern Ireland, they will see how wrong-headed it would be to do anything other than provide support and comfort to these people." "They are people who have gone through the most traumatic of times in the land of their birth." Alex Neil said the Scottish government's drive to be "run by Brussels" risked alienating him and others in the SNP. Mr Neil stepped down as social justice secretary in May. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon questioned whether Mr Neil was right about other SNP MSPs voting Leave. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Alex Neil, who served as infrastructure secretary as well as health secretary, said that he decided 10 days before the 23 June poll to back Brexit. Mr Neil, the MSP for Airdrie and Shotts, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that he was "not in the game" of putting a number on the amount of SNP politicians that backed his stance. He said: "There are 63 members of the (Scottish) parliamentary group, I've only talked to one or two people who have told me that. They'd approached me. "I'm not in the game of having numbers or names or anything like that. If anyone else wants to say publicly that they voted leave, that was a matter for them." Mr Neil said he kept his decision to himself in the run up to the vote "out of deference to the first minister". He added: "I'd only recently left the SNP government and I wasn't going to rock the boat and I quite frankly didn't think it was all that important for me to say that at the time anyway. "The party's position - the government's position - was very clear and quite frankly, out of loyalty, I didn't think it was right for me at that stage to say so." First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the news of Mr Neil's Leave vote did not come "as any surprise". She said: "He's entitled to his view. I'm not sure he's right about other MSPs, but the fact of the matter is Scotland voted to remain. "62% of people who voted in Scotland voted to remain. I think its important to listen to the views of those who voted to leave, but my job now in very uncertain times is to do everything I can to protect the interests of Scotland." The SNP's Westminster spokesman on Europe, Stephen Gethins, agreed that the views of Leave voters should be taken into consideration, but also emphasised the margin of Remain's victory north of the border. He said: "Alex was a very good minister and I've got great respect for Alex but he's got his own opinions on Europe and they differ from my own and they differ from the Cabinet's own. "They differ from 62% of the willed people of Scotland - the biggest gap between leave and remain. "I've always said that we need to take on board the fact that a significant minority voted against membership of the European Union, but a majority voted for it." Mr Neil's admission over Brexit follows comments he made in August, when he maintained the UK vote to leave the European Union should be embraced by Scotland as an opportunity and that the vote could see new devolved powers for Holyrood. Scottish Conservative constitution spokesman Adam Tomkins called on those SNP MSPs who backed Brexit to "show some gumption" and come forward. He added: "In the Scottish Conservatives, we had Leavers and Remainers and MSPs were allowed to campaign on both sides. "The SNP's 'silent Brexiteers' now need to come forward openly and let their constituents know how they voted." Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said Mr Neil's stance was no real surprise "considering the first minister herself kept telling her supporters that we'd have another independence referendum if the UK voted to leave the EU". He added: "Instead of gambling with the livelihood of those who will be negatively impacted by Brexit, the first minister can redeem herself if she joins the Liberal Democrats in helping keep the UK within the EU." Leslie Barrett died instantly when 28-year-old Faisal Ali crashed into his car on the A171 near Tranmire, North Yorkshire, on 8 September 2013. Ali, who denied causing death by dangerous driving, was found guilty at York Crown Court on 19 February. He was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court, where he was also banned from driving for four years. North Yorkshire Police said Ali, of Oxford Road, Middlesbrough, had been driving his white Mercedes car at speed when he overtook a vehicle on double white lines. The businessman smashed into Mr Barrett's Vauxhall Vectra, which was travelling in the opposite direction. Mr Barrett, from Sleights, near Whitby, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. His daughter, Claire Sinclair, read a statement out in court. In it she said Ali had shown "no acceptance of his flagrant disregard for the road or its users". "Because of his refusal to face up to and accept his guilt, our family has had to endure an agonising 18 months wait and have the harrowing nature of a full trial before a right and just verdict was reached." Four years ago, GB Taekwondo became embroiled in arguably the biggest pre-London Olympic controversy when it picked rising star Lutalo Muhammad over then world number one Aaron Cook. After a bitter legal battle, Muhammad was eventually given the nod by the British Olympic Association (BOA) and went on to claim 2012 bronze. This week, at the European Championships in Switzerland, GB fighters will have the final chance to prove their Rio potential before the 2016 squad is selected. Olympic champion Jade Jones (-57kg), world gold medallist Bianca Walkden (+67kg) and leading +87kg heavyweight Mahama Cho look certainties for their respective divisions, while Cook - somewhat bizarrely - had his nationality purchased by Moldova last year and will fight for them in Brazil. However, Muhammad's road to Rio has been far from simple to navigate with new GB rival - Damon Sansum, a former kick-boxing world champion who won taekwondo world silver in 2015 - a serious contender. Only one fighter can represent Team GB in the -80kg category this summer. Demonstrating the ability to win an Olympic medal is a key component for GB selection and Sansum had the edge after securing world silver last year. However, Muhammad responded with victory at the Manchester World Taekwondo Grand Prix and secured Britain a -80kg berth through his end-of-year world ranking. Despite missing the start of the season through injury, he is fourth in the Olympic -80kg standings, with Sansum eighth, but both are confident of their prospects. "I've been in hiding and doing secret training and I'm ready to show the world what they've been missing," Muhammad told BBC Sport. "Rio is in my mind every day, but I'd rather not talk about selection, I want to focus on winning the Olympic gold medal - that's what I'm aiming for." Sansum believes improvements and regular medal-winning performances since switching sports prove his potential. "It was difficult to adapt when I first moved over and London 2012 came too soon, but I've become much more consistent since then," he said. "I transferred over because it was my dream to compete in an Olympics which you can't do in kick-boxing and I think I've shown I'm a serious medal contender." Media playback is not supported on this device World Taekwondo has attempted to reinvent the sport after a series of controversial results - many of which came at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They included Briton Sarah Stevenson being initially eliminated, despite a late fight-winning head-kick, before a threatened walkout by all athletes saw her reinstated and ultimately win bronze. Although officials are still involved, points are now largely scored by athletes striking electronic pads mounted around the body and within headgear, which reduces the subjectivity of results. However, the sport's governing body has become almost obsessed with change, and much to the frustration of athletes the equipment has again been revised just months before Rio 2016. "Changing it this close is a bit confusing," Sansum told BBC Sport. "It's hard to score and you find people winning through penalties rather than kicks because the head guards are inconsistent, but whoever adapts the quickest has the best chance of winning." Muhammad added: "Things keep changing and there's new stuff to be aware of, but I'm confident my style and technique will work." To say Cook v Muhammad was a bitter battle would be an understatement, with the London Olympian - who received hate mail during the appeals process - adamant his rival took the fight too far. There has been noticeable tension between the pair when they have fought since, but Muhammad insists his relationship with Sansum is completely different. "This isn't like other rivalries I've had in the past - there's nothing but respect here," he said. "It [pre-London 2012] was incredibly tough and no other athlete had to go through those circumstances, but it made me tougher mentally and I do try to take that into the ring." While Cook was outside of the British set-up, training with his own team before London 2012, Sansum believes Britain has benefited from having two leading -80kg fighters sparring with each another as part of the same programme pre-Rio. "Our team has so much talent and with the strength in depth we're always pushing one another," he said. "When you see someone like Lutalo lifting big in the gym, you want to go bigger. When he's kicking hard, that motivates you more." Media playback is not supported on this device Fight-offs could have been used to decide as many as three of the four British Taekwondo London Olympic places, but GB selectors are not great supporters of the idea. Muhammad leads Sansum 3-1 in the career head-to-head, but results against high-profile opponents will have a greater bearing on selection. "I would do anything to get into the Olympics, but I'm not that big a fan of fight-offs," said Sansum, though Muhammad admits it "would be a great watch". With only one athlete per nation allowed to compete in each division at the Europeans, Muhammad and Sansum will be kept apart. Muhammad has the advantage of competing in the Olympic category on Saturday, with Sansum in -87kg action on Sunday, but results for both fighters will count significantly towards Rio selection. Men: -54kg: Hassan Haider; -58kg: Feyi Pearce; -63kg: Bradly Sinden; -68 kg: Benjamin Haines; -74kg: Christian McNeish ; -80kg: Lutalo Muhammad; -87kg: Damon Samsun; +87kg: Mahama Cho, Lyle Walker. Women: -49kg: Charlie Maddock; -57kg: Jade Jones; -62kg: Rachelle Booth; -67kg: Lauren Williams; -73kg: Jade Slavin; +73kg: Bianca Walkden. During the meeting, billed as a "drop-in", they discussed "support for the peaceful resolution to the conflict in eastern Ukraine", the White House said. Ukraine has been fighting Russian-backed rebels in the east since 2014. Mr Trump's previous calls for better US ties with Russia have worried Ukrainian authorities, observers say. Tuesday's meeting came as Washington announced more sanctions relating to Russia's actions in Ukraine. The measures target 38 organisations and individuals, including Russian government officials and also officials in Crimea - a Ukrainian region annexed by Russian three years ago. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the move "regrettable". In a brief statement, the White House said the two leaders had also discussed "President Poroshenko's reform agenda and anticorruption efforts". In televised comments, President Trump described Ukraine "a place that we've all been very much involved in and we've been seeing it and everybody has been reading about it". He added that "a lot of progress has been made" between Ukraine and the US, without providing any further details. Meanwhile, Mr Poroshenko said America was "one of the most reliable supporters" of Ukraine. The "drop-in" meeting was described by a number of Russian analysts as a diplomatic snub for the Ukrainian leader. But observers in Ukraine stressed on the importance of it coming before expected talks between Mr Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at a G20 gathering in Germany in July. The US administration is facing claims of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and of possible links between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Mr Trump has repeatedly denied the allegation, calling them a "witch hunt". In Washington, President Poroshenko also held talks with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defence Secretary Jim Mattis. "The United States stands with you. We support you in the face of threats to sovereignty, to international law or to the international order," Mr Mattis said. Campbell was killed instantly on Coniston Water when the craft flipped over while travelling at more than 300 MPH during a 1967 record attempt. Divers recovered the wreckage in 2001 and it is now being restored. About a third of the boat is being moved to the Ruskin Museum in Coniston, where it will be shown in a wing dedicated to Campbell. It includes two massive spars, originally clad in lightweight aluminium fairings to give Bluebird her sleek shape, which have been fully restored. There are also replicas of the boat's four-metre long outer hulls, or sponsons, from the original drawings. The originals were ripped away in the accident, and recovered floating but subsequently scrapped. A team of volunteers at a workshop in North Shields will now fit the centre hull with its engines and systems. Vicky Slowe, curator of the Ruskin Museum, said: "There's about one and a half tonnes of Bluebird going on show. "We have a life-sized footprint of the Bluebird on the floor of the Bluebird wing, where the complete boat will go in due course, and the idea is to display these pieces on top of that so people can see how they fit together." The parts will be fully reassembled at the Ruskin Museum and Bluebird will then be taken for a run on Coniston Water, before going on permanent display at the museum. The move would "add impetus and renewed vigour" to the fight against terrorism, a military statement said. A military advance team began work in Maiduguri on Monday, the statement said, as part of plans to move the command and control centre from Abuja. President Muhammadu Buhari took office last month, vowing to beat Boko Haram. He announced that the military would move its headquarters to Maiduguri, in the north-eastern state of Borno, in his inaugural speech on 29 May. The aim is to centralise operations close to the action, cut bureaucracy and speed up decision-making. The policy and administrative arms of the military have been accused of being detached from the reality of the soldiers on the frontline. For example, the complaints from troops about their inadequate supplies of equipment and poor welfare were often denied, downplayed or ignored by the authorities. This led to disgruntlement among soldiers, with some refusing to fight and even shooting at their own commanding officer. However the relocation has not gone down well with some top military men, who have viewed it as merely a symbolic or even populist move, possibly driven by a desire to be distinctively different from the previous administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. There are also concerns it could further complicate existing operations on the ground. Why Boko Haram remains a threat Who are Boko Haram? The military statement said the new centre in Maiduguri would serve as "a forward command base for the chief of army staff and other service chiefs". The move would boost the campaign against Boko Haram - known as Operation Restore Peace - without creating "another layer of command structure", the statement said. A similar command structure is being established in nearby Yola, it said. Air force operations are expected to be launched from the town. Boko Haram was founded in Maiduguri more than 10 years ago, and has carried out several attacks there. The Islamist group has lost most of its territory in recent months, as the Nigerian military has retaken towns and villages in the north-east, backed by the forces of neighbouring Cameroon, Chad and Niger. It was Cooke's second straight success in the sport's World Cup series after winning in Hungary last month. Germany's Patrick Dogue was second behind the 25-year-old Briton, with Frenchman Valentin Prades third. "It's been a perfect day," said Cooke, who was third after the swimming, fencing and riding but pulled himself up in the combined run and shoot. Cooke's victory came just three months before the Rio Olympics get under way. Compatriot Freyja Prentice finished sixth in the women's event. The already-relegated club slumped to a 26th League One defeat of the season through goals from Jake Forster-Caskey and Ricky Holmes. Reece Mitchell replied in stoppage time for bottom-placed Chesterfield before Forster-Caskey had a penalty saved. Chesterfield needed a fine save by Thorsten Stuckmann in the 16th minute to keep out a Holmes free-kick from just outside the box. Joe Rowley almost gave Chesterfield the lead in the 35th minute but two minutes later, Charlton scored when Forster-Caskey was given too much time to fire a 20-yard shot into the bottom-left corner. Chesterfield should have equalised in the 47th minute when Kristian Dennis robbed Ezri Konsa but blazed over from 12 yards and Charlton took advantage when Holmes' free-kick was deflected past Stuckmann in the 57th minute. Dennis rattled the bar in the 74th minute and Mitchell converted a rebound before Forster-Caskey's last-gasp penalty was saved after he was fouled by Jon Nolan.

The government has given the council £30,000 to monitor the movements of heavy goods vehicles in the city. The research will look at the frequency of deliveries to shops and the current methods used. Labour's Mark Bradshaw, Bedminster councillor and assistant mayor, admitted the "rising issue" of air pollution was a "challenge". "We're committed to working with the business community. This is not about imposing any solutions," he added. "We've really got to understand what businesses need to make them thrive, for them to serve their customers and their clients. "But equally we have a responsibility as a city to look at every measure that we can take to reduce air pollution. "Recent studies have shown that diesel vehicles are a major contributor." Last April, the government estimated there were 29,000 deaths annually in the UK from air pollution. Warriors took a 17-0 lead through a Tom Heathcote penalty and converted tries from Wynand Olivier and Matt Cox. But Graham Kitchener replied for Tigers with Donncha O'Callaghan in the sin-bin, before the Worcester lock was red carded minutes into the second half. Home duo Gareth Milasinovich and Matt Cox were also sin-binned as Tigers capitalised through Telusa Veainu, a penalty try and Lachlan McCaffrey. Worcester, previously unbeaten at home this season, looked dangerous from the off and opened up a 17-0 lead within 22 minutes. Heathcote kicked an early penalty and then added two conversions as Olivier collected the fly-half's pass following a Worcester scrum to score under the posts before Cox dived between the sticks. But Leicester put Warriors on the back foot and with O'Callaghan sent to the sin-bin for an offside offence, former Worcester forward Kitchener barged through just minutes before the break. Worcester, who played the first half with the wind, were down to 14 men soon after the restart when O'Callaghan received a second yellow for bringing down the Leicester maul. Milasinovich came on to make his Premiership debut but was binned shortly after and Tigers made their men advantage count as Veainu dived over in the corner. Heathcote and Owen Williams then exchanged penalties before referee Wayne Barnes awarded Leicester a penalty try, with the conversion putting them in front for the first time. Worcester ended the match with 13 men as Cox was also sin-binned, allowing Leicester to sneak a crucial fourth try though McCaffrey. And Williams' conversion ensured Worcester also missed out on a losing bonus point as Leicester moved up to second in the Premiership table. Worcester director of rugby Dean Ryan: "Donncha O'Callaghan is distraught. He has a red card and I am not sure it needed to be one. I am not sure why Wayne Barnes needed to go to that. He (O'Callaghan) has been great for us since he came here. "We were under enormous pressure. They were on top in the scrum and in the drive. We played really well and were under massive pressure near the end with 13 men. We played some decent stuff. "We are frustrated that we didn't win. We are capable of winning that game and we have to start talking that language. "We just made some silly mistakes near the end which was under huge pressure." Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill: "The game is 80 minutes and we did some good things and exerted some good pressure. The penalty count was pretty heavy. "That wind was strong and we made some basic errors in the first half to let them in. We were good for our win although it was tough for Worcester to get nothing because they played pretty well. "We created some opportunities but we were pretty inaccurate at times as well. If Worcester play like that, they will have no problems staying in this competition, I have no doubt of that. "As for the yellow cards, Barnes is a world-class ref and refereed it to the letter of the law. They were under a lot of pressure."

A metal detector enthusiast unearthed the 26 silver coins, which were issued between 154BC and AD37. The precise location of the discovery is not being revealed in a bid to deter illegal treasure hunters. Norwich Castle Museum expert Adrian Marsden said more coins could still be hidden at the site, where two previous hoards have been found. He said about 100 other coins dating from the same period had been discovered in the area in two batches unearthed in September 2012 and August 2013. The most recent find was made in the autumn of 2014. Mr Marsden said these coins were "probably the property of a soldier, or at least a Roman citizen, soon after the invasion of Britain". He estimated them to have been worth about six months of salary for a Roman soldier. The latest find, which the museum hopes to acquire for its collection, will go before the coroner on 5 October.

About 10,000 dogs will be slaughtered for their meat at the Lychee and Dog Meat Festival in Yulin in Guangxi province on Sunday and Monday to mark the summer solstice, state media said. One retired school teacher from Tianjin hit the headlines when she purchased dozens of dogs to save them. Residents and vendors in Yulin say the animals are killed in a humane way. Activists say the killing is cruel and an online campaign to ban the festival has been signed by more than 3.8 million people so far and the campaign has attracted considerable support this year from celebrities both domestic and foreign. Celebrities including British comedian Ricky Gervais have spoken out on Twitter with the hashtag #StopYuLin2015. Chinese pop star Chen Kun and actor Yang Mi have said they are joining the campaign on micro blogging site Weibo. Why UK doesn't eat dog meat And Chinese actor Fan Bingbing and others posted a video online against the festival. The tradition of eating dog meat dates back four or five hundred years in China, South Korea and other countries, as it is believed to ward off the heat of the summer months, according to state news agency Xinhua. However, this festival began in recent years, Xinhua said. City officials have distanced themselves from the gathering. "Some residents of Yulin have the habit of coming together to eat lychees and dog meat during the summer solstice," the city's news office wrote on Weibo. "The 'summer solstice lychee and dog meat festival' is a commercial term, the city has never [officially] organised a 'dog meat festival'," it added. As in recent years, some animal lovers resorted to buying some of the dogs in order to rescue them. Yang Xiaoyun, retired school teacher, paid about 7,000 yuan ($1,100; £710) to save 100 dogs on Saturday. The BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing says this kind of dispute puts the government in a really difficult position. The glorified consumption of dog meat generates a lot of negative foreign media reports, embarrassing the authorities. Also, the dog meat industry has been accused of many underhand tactics, including the illegal capture of family pets to use as food. But at the same time, the government is wary of the increasingly sophisticated animal rights movement, she adds. Animal rights activists in China have formed a cohesive network on social media that extends to many foreign animal welfare groups. China's leaders do not want to encourage such a movement amid a wider crackdown on civil disturbance of any kind. On Wednesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) expanded its existing recall. The expansion adds 35 to 40 million airbag inflators to the recall list and affects vehicles from 12 carmakers and more than doubles the existing recall. Takata inflators have been linked to 11 deaths and more than 100 injuries. "Today's action is a significant step in the US Department of Transportation's aggressive oversight of Takata on behalf of drivers and passengers across America," said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "The acceleration of this recall is based on scientific evidence and will protect all Americans from airbag inflators that may become unsafe." Takata has already been forced to recall 28.8 million inflators. In a statement on its website Takata's chief executive apologised "for the concern caused to the driving public, our business partners and our shareholders by the extensive market recalls of vehicles fitted with Takata airbags". The message said the company was "providing complete support" for the recall and working to "restore trust" in the company's products. This latest recall chips away further at Takata's credibility with carmakers. "What the carmakers are doing is reaching out to their other airbag makers to provide replacement parts rather than Takata," Scott Upham, chief executive of Valient Market Research, told the BBC. "I think the goal is to really get Takata completely out of the loop," he said. The recall targets airbag inflators that may explode with too much force and shoot metal debris at the driver and passengers. Takata uses ammonium nitrate to fill its airbags with air in a crash. Most other airbag makers use guanidine nitrate, which is less volatile. Takata switched to ammonium nitrate in 2001, saying it produced gas more efficiently. Takata has denied accusations that that switch was cost related. "The science clearly shows that these inflators become unsafe over time, faster when exposed to humidity and variations of temperature," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind. The latest death confirmed to be linked to Takata was in Texas, where a 17-year-old girl was killed after being in a relatively minor crash in her family's 2002 Honda Civic. On Wednesday, Malaysian authorities said two people had died in recent car crashes in which Takata airbags exploded with too much force. They have yet to definitively link the deaths to the airbags. Known as "Swarb", the musician performed mainly on the violin and wrote many of the group's songs. The band posted a tribute on their website which said Swarbrick "had been seriously ill for some time". He had struggled with health problems after being diagnosed with emphysema in the 1990s. Blur guitarist Graham Coxon was one of a number of musicians to pay tribute to Swarbrick, tweeting early footage of him playing mandolin with Martin Carthy with the message: "Very sad... Bye, Dave and thanks!" Poets Michael Rosen and Ian McMillan also both shared their thoughts about Swarbrick, with Rosen calling him a "fiddler supreme" and McMillan recalling how "his playing on Fairport Convention's Sloth broke my heart every time". Born in London in 1941, Swarbrick played on recordings with folk pioneers Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger before coming to prominence as a guest on Fairport Convention's classic 1969 album Unhalfbricking. He went on to become a permanent member of the band, writing and arranging songs for their albums - including on the influential electric folk album Liege & Lief - and performing with them up until they disbanded in 1979. He also recorded his own solo albums, as well as working with the likes of Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch and fellow Fairport alumni Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson. In 1999, the Daily Telegraph wrongly reported Swarbrick's passing and published an obituary after he was spotted going into hospital. He would later print off copies, sign them and take them to gigs to sell to fans. He spoke to BBC Radio 4 about the mistake in February, saying he was "happy" about what was written about him, "because far from damaging my career, it had enhanced it somewhat". He later underwent three tracheotomies and sometimes had to perform with an oxygen canister on stage to help with his breathing. Following a double lung transplant in 2004, he continued to tour and produce music, winning a BBC Folk Award for his 2006 collaboration with Carthy, Straws in the Wind. Referring to his health problems, John Spiers of folk supergroup Bellowhead said Swarbrick had "deserved the extra lungs because he had more heart than anyone else", while writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce shared a story of seeing him play with his oxygen mask. Other tributes came from folk guitarist John Smith, who shared an anecdote about Swarbrick's reaction to fellow musician John Martyn's leg amputation, and musician and comedian Mike Harding, who called Swarbrick "the best English fiddler of his generation". Swarbrick is survived by his wife, Jill. The Cottagers replaced Meulensteen as boss with Felix Magath on Friday but the Dutchman had said he remained under contract at the club. The trio, who were only appointed in the past four months, leave along with coaches Mick Priest and Jonathan Hill. As part of the changes, Tomas Oral comes in as first-team coach and Werner Leuthard is the new conditioning coach. Former Bayern Munich coach Magath signed an 18-month contract with the Premier League's bottom side last week. Meulensteen came into the club as head coach in November and replaced Martin Jol as manager less than three weeks later. He brought in Curbishley as first-team technical director on Christmas Day and Wilkins as assistant head coach on 30 December. However former Manchester United coach Meulensteen, who won four of 17 games in charge, was not mentioned in a club statement announcing Magath's arrival. Chairman Shahid Khan told the club website: "I'm very grateful to Rene, Alan and Ray, as well as Mick and Jonathan, for their commitment to Fulham. Their efforts were admirable and appreciated, and I wish them the best. "Felix has come to Fulham with purpose and exceptional confidence, and I know he's extremely pleased to have Tomas Oral and Werner Leuthard join him for the mission ahead. "From today forward, the focus is singularly on winning football matches and remaining in the Premier League. The work has begun." Dominique Heaggan-Brown shot and killed Sylville Smith, 23, on 13 August 2016 after he fled from police. The death sparked two days of riots in Milwaukee. Prosecutors decided to charge him after police body camera footage allegedly showed the officer shooting Smith in the chest as he lay on the ground. Smith was armed with a pistol, but threw it over a fence before his death. Both the victim and the former police officer are African-American. Mr Heaggan-Brown, 24, has already been fired from the police force due to an unrelated investigation accusing him of sexual assault. According to the criminal complaint, the body camera video shows Smith fall to his back after being shot by the officers who had pursued him on foot after he fled from a traffic stop. Mr Heaggan-Brown's first bullet hit Smith in the right arm, as he was turning "his head and upper body towards the officers", while still holding the semi-automatic pistol. "He then raises the gun upward while looking in the direction of the officers and throws the gun over the fence into the yard," the complaint reads. After Smith was hit, a police body camera shows him fall to his back, with his arms extended upwards towards his head. "Heaggan-Brown is observed standing a short distance from Smith with his weapon pointed down at Smith when Heaggan-Brown discharges a second shot from his weapon at what appears to be Smith's chest." A review of the body camera video "confirms that at the time of the second shot, Smith was unarmed and had his hands near his head". According to investigators, 1.69 seconds elapsed between the first and second shots. Police chief Ed Flynn had fired Mr Heaggan-Brown from the police force in October after he was charged with sexual assault in an unrelated case. Prosecutors say that Mr Heaggan-Brown went to a bar with another man on the night of 14 August - one day after the shooting - where they drank and watched the riots on TV. The man told authorities that the former Milwaukee officer bragged that he could do whatever he wanted without repercussions, and that he later woke up to the officer sexually assaulting him. He has also been charged with soliciting sex from two people, as well as sexually assaulting another person in July 2016 and photographing the naked victim. If found guilty of reckless homicide he could face 60 years in prison. UK researchers measured the finger length of 110 people, including 47 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of the disease. The study, in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, suggests a link between a longer fourth finger relative to the index finger and ALS. Experts say finger length cannot help screen for ALS and more work is needed. The ratio between the fingers has already been linked to many traits, including sporting prowess and aggression, and is believed to be set in the womb. Experts believe a longer fourth finger relative to the index finger could be partly determined by how much exposure a baby has to the male hormone testosterone before birth. Indeed, men often do have slightly longer ring fingers than index fingers, while women often do not. And experts know that motor neurons need testosterone for survival and repair, and men who are born without the ability to use testosterone in the normal way develop a form of motor neuron degeneration. Dr Brian Dickie of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, said: "This simple, but carefully conducted study raises some interesting questions about how events occurring before birth may increase the risk of developing motor neuron disease later in life. "But it's important to remember that exposure to higher testosterone in the womb does not directly cause motor neuron disease. "Many people with long ring fingers will never develop motor neuron disease as we believe there are numerous genetic and environmental factors that need to coincide in order to trigger the disease." Dr Babatunde Osotimehin told the BBC that the custom was a human rights abuse and needed to end immediately. More than 200 million women and girls around the world have undergone the procedure, where parts of the female genitals are removed. The UN estimates a further three million are at risk of being mutilated. Dr Osotimehin said: "There is absolutely no reason to cut anybody, and it seemed to us that it is part of the gender imbalance that has always existed in these communities which are based on patriarchy. I think it's child abuse." The organisation had previously referred to the practice as a human rights violation, but has stopped short of calling it child abuse. FGM is practiced mainly in parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia. It involves the partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. Some countries in Africa are working to change traditional perceptions of FGM. At the moment about one in five women in Kenya has been cut. But the UN children's charity, Unicef, says Kenya could eradicate the practice in the next 15 years. However, deeply entrenched traditions in some communities in this region, and across the world, make this a major challenge. Welsh ministers are considering plans for the £425m Circuit of Wales before deciding whether to back the scheme. But Monmouth MP David Davies said it was "time to pull the plug". Lawyers for the project have accused the MP of campaigning to undermine what was potentially one of Wales' most significant regeneration projects. Welsh Government Economy Secretary Ken Skates has promised "rigorous value for money testing" on the proposals. Ministers have told developers to find at least half the cash from private sources. Speaking during the annual Commons Welsh Affairs debate marking St David's Day, Mr Davies said: "It is time to pull the plug on this. "If the Welsh Government wants to put £200m of our money at risk, there are better ways of doing it, and better people to be doing it with. "Politicians who support it are being taken out to lunch and those who are asking difficult questions are being threatened with legal advice by an expensive group of city lawyers, £9m worth of taxpayers money is being wasted." Mr Davies said that he was intrigued as to why the Circuit of Wales project keeps "increasing in costs". He told MPs he had obtained a copy of a quote - seen by BBC Wales - from the Spanish company FCC that has the contract to build the track. It is not dated, but prices the project at almost £180m. Mr Davies said that "even with a few hotels chucked in that takes a bit of explaining". He said that he had passed on his information to the Wales Audit Office. In February, the developers said they looked forward to beginning construction by the spring of this year. They have previously claimed the scheme could eventually result in 6,000 jobs, attract 750,000 visitors a year and inject an estimated £50m into the Welsh economy each year. Circuit of Wales lawyers said they would study Mr Davies's speech carefully when it is published in the parliamentary record Hansard and give a detailed response then. They said: "Mr Davies' comments in the House of Commons today are just the latest example of his continued attempts to misrepresent The Circuit of Wales and its developers, based on misinformation and a misunderstanding of the financial structure of the development, despite having been provided detailed information about the project." The lawyers accused Mr Davies of conducting a "sustained campaign to undermine the efforts made by the Welsh Government to progress The Circuit of Wales, which has the potential to be one of the most significant regeneration projects that Wales has ever seen". The Circuit of Wales said it will lodge a complaint with the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner about Mr Davies' conduct, on Friday. David Davis said the government would maintain the Common Travel Area and all the benefits it had in Northern Ireland before the UK entered the EU. He was answering a question from Sammy Wilson, DUP, in the House of Commons. He said the government would resolve any problems posed by the border. Meanwhile, a think tank has said introducing a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as a result of Brexit would have a devastating effect on border communities. The Centre for Cross Border Studies is hosting a discussion in Brussels to discuss the Brexit vote. Anthony Soares, the centre's deputy director, said border controls would set communities back decades. The UK electorate voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48% in June's referendum. In Northern Ireland, the majority (56%) of those who went to the polls voted to stay in the EU. Mr Soares added: "The introduction of a hard border would really, really undermine the economic development of the border region. "Some parts of our border region are already struggling in terms of perhaps being overlooked by central governments, whether it's in Belfast, London or Dublin, that have other priorities. "The border region would suffer even more if the hard border was to be reintroduced." Protests against Brexit took place in a number of areas along the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic on Saturday. The demonstrations were organised by campaign group Border Communities against Brexit. The body cameras have been used by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW) since 1 March. They can be turned on if situations with patients become serious, and are also able to record audio footage. The trust says the move will help to keep patients and staff safe from violence. More on this story and others from Coventry and Warwickshire An NHS Protect report revealed there were 188 reported assaults on staff in 2014-15, compared to 156 in the previous 12-month period and 89 in 2010-11. Body cameras are already in use at hospitals in Cardiff, Oxford and Sussex. Verbal warning will be issued before turning on the audio recording equipment, and the footage could be used in any potential court case. Staff have been given training in using the cameras, as well as on the legal issues around evicting people from the hospital. UHCW security manager Barry Newell said security staff are only deployed at hospitals "in extreme circumstances" and cameras would only be used "when absolutely necessary". "Occasionally a small minority [of patients and visitors] do show violence or aggression, and these measures will assist our security teams in helping the police investigate any incidents of criminal behaviour," he said. Somerset began on 135-8, but were quickly out for 147 as Gareth Berg (4-28) dismissed last man Jack Leach. With a lead of 64, the hosts tried to set up a run-chase, but they had fallen to 96-5 when rain arrived. George Bailey declared leaving Somerset 161 to win from 31 overs, but once Steven Davies (47) fell they batted for the draw, narrowly escaping on 88-8. There were points when both teams looked like they might win this low-scoring affair, but ultimately the overs lost to rain over the four days prevented a win for either side. Liam Dawson (20), Rilee Rossouw (22) and James Vince (20) all made starts in Hampshire's second innings, but a second collapse of the match left it in the hands of captain Bailey to declare. His declaration had Somerset hopeful of securing a first County Championship of the season, but batting against the pink ball was difficult under the floodlights and Berg had Marcus Trescothick and Adam Hose caught to leave the visitors 4-2. Davies scored swiftly, but regular wickets from Kyle Abbott (2-33) and Ian Holland (2-23) undermined their chase, leaving Craig Overton and Josh Davey to survive the final over from Berg. Andrew Batten, 42, died in hospital after he was attacked at a taxi rank in Vicar Lane, Leeds, on 13 October 1995. West Yorkshire Police said a 45-year-old man was in custody. It comes after the force made a fresh appeal for information about the death last month. Mr Batten, who lived in Beeston, had gone out after finishing work and was still wearing his Royal Mail uniform. He was found on the pavement by an ambulance crew after an anonymous call and was taken to Leeds General Infirmary with a fractured skull. He died two days later. He was believed to have been punched by a man, who was with a woman, in the taxi queue at the rear of the Victoria Quarter. On social networks many people made fun of the popular saying, "God is Brazilian". "If God is Brazilian," asked one person, "then why is the Pope from Argentina?" In St Peter's Square in Rome, Brazilians danced and waved their national flag and insisted they were happy over the choice of Pope Francis, despite much speculation that Sao Paulo's Archbishop Odilo Scherer was the leading Latin American candidate. One of the first engagements of the new Pope will be to come to the city of Rio de Janeiro to help celebrate World Youth Day from 23 to 28 July. At the headquarters in Rio, where they are preparing for the event, volunteers shouted: "Long live the Pope" when Francis appeared on TV, and joined with him in prayer at the start of his papacy. The church in Brazil is under enormous pressure due to the growth of evangelical churches and a rise in secularism. There had been a hope that a Brazilian pope would help to stem that challenge, and it is likely that expectation will extend to a pope from neighbouring Argentina, a Church leader who clearly understands the region well. Pope Francis is the first pontiff from Latin America, where four in 10 Catholics live. Brazil and Argentina are longstanding rivals, especially on the football pitch, so there was a lot of humour on social networks. On Twitter, one person claimed that atheism was certain to rise in Brazil now that the Pope was from Argentina, while another said it would certainly boost the evangelical church. Another tweet, in a reference to the famous "hand of God" episode involving footballer Diego Maradona in a match against England in 1986, claimed the new Pope would be likely to allow football "hand goals". Prompted by the same incident, another Brazilian on Twitter said the new Pope shouldn't be called Francis I, but Diego II. There is also a hash tag running on Twitter #PopeIsArgentineanButGodisBrazilian. Despite all the humour, there is certain to be a general welcome for a pope from South America which has sometimes been dubbed "the forgotten continent". Flavio Scherer, brother of Cardinal Odilo Scherer, said he was "relieved" by the decision. "I am not disappointed," the retired university professor told BBC Brasil. "On the contrary, if elected the pressure on my brother would have begun immediately. "The Catholic Church needs to act as quickly as possible to stem the loss in followers," he added. The secretary general of the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops, Leonardo Steiner, said that the choice of a pope from the Americas was a result of the opening up of the Catholic Church. "No longer is the Church only turned towards Europe," he said. "If it had been a Brazilian, we would have been happy, but we are happy," he said. But Sir Alan, the former judge who heads the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso), said papers were unlikely to face exemplary £1m fines. In a speech to the Society of Editors, he said Ipso would use a "slim, clear book of rules" not an "iron fist". He insisted he did not want a "boring, defensive" press, but an "unruly" one. "Mistakes and errors of judgement will always occur," said Sir Alan. "But if you do so deliberately, flagrantly, without caring one jot whether you break the code or not, Ipso will damn you. "We want a free, fair and unruly press ruled only by an independent regulator, Ipso, who will support you and encourage you to remain free, fair and unruly." Most newspapers have signed up to Ipso, which replaced the much criticised Press Complaints Commission in the wake of the Leveson report into press standards. The Guardian, Independent and Financial Times are three of those that have declined to embrace the new watchdog. Campaign group Hacked Off, which wants tougher press regulation, has dismissed Ipso as a "sham". Sir Alan has said Ipso will prove its independence with its actions. Referring to the prospect of exemplary fines, Sir Alan said: "When Ipso was launched we were all told how different the regulatory regime would be now that there was power to fine up to £1m or 1% of annual turnover. "And they said, 'There you are... now you can show your mettle by fining someone £1m, that's what you need.' "You only have to say that, to see how unlikely it is. Proper successful independent regulation will not be established by manic firing of a big bazooka." Sir Alan said Ipso's decisions would occasionally be unpopular. "But we are not here to be popular. We are not here only to secure agreement but to manage disagreement. "Of course it is important that there should be urgent and speedy resolution of complaints. Publications should be encouraged to settle disputes, with fairness, clarity and above all without delay." One of the first tests for the new watchdog is the case of the Conservative former minister, Brooks Newmark, who resigned in September after a newspaper sex sting. The Sunday Mirror has said its report that Mr Newmark sent explicit pictures of himself to a male undercover journalist claiming to be a woman was in the public interest but critics have questioned the paper's methods. Ipso has said it is continuing to investigate although a complaint against the newspaper has since been dropped - the first time a British press regulator has pursued a case in the absence of a complainant. The Spaniard left Wigan Athletic to take over at Goodison Park last summer and guided the Toffees to fifth. Everton's tally of 72 points was their highest ever in the Premier League as they secured a place in Europe for the first time since 2010. "I knew from the moment I arrived at Everton that this was a special place," Martinez, 40, told the club's website. The former Swansea City boss, who succeeded David Moyes when the Scot left to take over at Manchester United, won praise for the team's style of football. He has also helped to bring through a number of young players, including England pair Ross Barkley and John Stones. Martinez added: "I loved my first season at the club. I could not be more proud of the way Everton performed throughout the entire season and the memories we were able to make together." Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said: "In many commentators' eyes, Roberto Martinez is the best young manager in Europe. We agree. "He took on an unfamiliar challenge for most managers - to take something really good and make it even better. "He undertakes his business with great style, confidence, positivity and class. He is an Everton man." Fans of Bristol City, Gillingham and Luton will all enjoy the look of the league tables tonight, even if it is still early days. Here, BBC Sport rounds up all the other stories you may have missed from Saturday's EFL games. A first win of the season. A first win for the new manager. And a first home win in six months. Not a bad afternoon for Aston Villa fans, who suffered a miserable relegation campaign that saw them win just twice in the Premier League at Villa Park last season. Two goals from Rudy Gestede and Jack Grealish's second-ever Villa goal against Rotherham gave them their first three points on Trinity Road since they beat Norwich 2-0 on 6 February. "I wouldn't say it is a big relief, but we are pleased," boss Roberto di Matteo told BBC WM. "We wanted to start our season at home with a positive result. "I have to say the supporters were fantastic today, they got behind the team and we gave them something back as well." Speaking of runs ending, Bolton Wanderers got a monkey of their own off their backs on Saturday. Wanderers' travelling support went the entire 2015-16 season without seeing a win on the road as they suffered relegation from the Championship. New boss Phil Parkinson, however, has ended a run of 495 days without an away victory thanks to a Liam Trotter-inspired 2-1 win at AFC Wimbledon. "I was aware of the record." Parkinson told BBC Radio Manchester after his side's second successive victory in League One. "We had a meeting in the hotel last night and we went through the requirements we felt were needed - we asked the lads what they felt and we said 'no excuses.' You could feel the release of tension when the whistle went from all of our supporters." Euro 2016 had many memorable moments - but the viral spread of the 'Will Grigg's on fire' chant for the Northern Ireland striker was one of the sounds of the summer. Wigan fan Sean Kennedy is credited with popularising the chant using Gala's 1996 song 'Freed From Desire', and even earned a free season ticket for his efforts. Despite the success of the song, of which a dance version reached the top 10 in the downloads chart, Grigg did not enjoy the best of summers as he did not play for his country in France. However... He has since picked up from where he left off with his 28 goals in Wigan's League One title-winning season last season, scoring his first league goal this term in a 3-0 win against Blackburn on Saturday. Grigg now has 13 goals in his last 13 games for the Latics, or 21 in 23 if you want to go back a little further. Not a bad record. Nick Powell, who rejoined Wigan from Manchester United in the summer, also scored in the game - his first goal since March 2014. Sticking with the chants theme, Wolves' new boss Walter Zenga has been getting to grips with the Molineux faithful. The former Italy goalkeeper replaced Kenny Jackett at the beginning of the season and has yet to taste defeat, guiding his team to a 2-0 win over Reading on Saturday. On his first job in England, the 56-year-old has quickly endeared himself to fans by calling Wolves the biggest team in Italy, before telling his players he wanted to make their home stadium a fortress. He has also today learned of the power of a wave... We've all been stuck behind traffic on the way to a game, right? Frustrating, yes, but worrying if you are actually working at the game you are travelling to. And, by working, I mean kicking the ball and being in charge of the team. Notts County manager John Sheridan and four of his squad were caught in traffic on the M1 ahead of their 1-1 draw at Meadow Lane against Stevenage. However, the local police got wind of the situation and gave the Magpies boss and his players, including goalscorer Jon Stead and striker partner Jonathan Forte, a lift to prevent the game being delayed. The point means Sheridan's side are still yet to pick up a win in their first three games of the season and they sit 22nd in League Two.

The French president told the leaders of 12 former colonies: "There are debts which are never extinguished. It was time to recognise that." Hundreds of thousands of Africans served France in two world wars and the Algerian war of independence. Tens of thousands are still alive and will benefit from new pension laws. However, the BBC's Tidiane Sy in Senegal says there has not been an enthusiastic response to the announcement. He says most of the war veterans who campaigned for equal pensions are no longer alive, while others are so frail they are no longer able to enjoy the extra money. Mr Sarkozy said his government had agreed at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday to introduce "perfect equality" of military pensions for veterans of French forces - regardless of what country they lived in. France had previously resisted paying the same pension to veterans of its armed forces who did not live in French territory, though many are in countries that were French colonies at the time of their service. The new military pension law will come into force next January at the latest, it is reported. Mr Sarkozy made the announcement on Tuesday at a lunch in Paris for the 12 leaders, who are in France to take part in its national celebrations on Wednesday. It comes after a ruling in May from France's constitutional council. It decided that the long-established practice of paying veterans from former colonies between one-tenth and one-fifth of the benefits given to French soldiers was illegal. One of the African leaders at the lunch, Mali's President Amadou Toumani Toure, called it a "historic decision". African veterans, who also fought in the Indochina wars of 1945-54, saw their pensions frozen at the end of the 1950s. War veterans in other countries have fought similar battles. In Britain, retired Gurkhas have campaigned over unequal pension rights. After calling the election in search of an increased majority, the Conservatives have emerged with 13 fewer seats than they held at the start of the campaign. Labour - widely expected to lose seats to the Tories - made a net gain of 30 seats. Of those seats it won, 28 came from the Conservatives, while of those it lost, six went in the other direction. The BBC has spoken to former Tory voters in some of those lost seats to find out why they changed their minds. David Manning, 64, has supported the Conservatives for most of his life. Living in the Plymouth Sutton and Devonport constituency, he was among the voters who helped Labour candidate Luke Pollard take the seat from Conservative Oliver Colvile - increasing Labour's share of the vote by 16.7%. A retired teacher, he says the idea that he would have voted for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party was laughable at the beginning of the campaign. "I was even ridiculing him," he told the BBC. "At the start of the campaign I was totally against Jeremy Corbyn. My switch from blue to red was a surprise even to myself. "However, as the campaign progressed I warmed to him and cooled to Mrs May." David has voted for Labour only once before, when Tony Blair was leading the party. "Mrs May was wooden and lacked charisma," he said. "And having witnessed first hand the way education has been dismantled by the Tories, I concluded that the alternative Labour was offering was far better for the country. "I've watched my partner's school become an academy and have the money sucked out of it. "I read every manifesto and asked myself an honest question: 'What do I think is best for the country?' "I believe in Labour's manifesto." David believes there has been a shift in public opinion and he thinks that is a trend which could continue. Labour's victory in Canterbury - achieved with a majority of just 187 but representing a 21% swing from 2015 - suggests he could be right. The Kent seat had been held by the Conservatives since 1918. Sir Julian Brazier - the sitting Conservative MP - had represented the area since 1987. New York based Financial Times columnist John Authers described Labour's victory there as the "rough equivalent, in US terms, of Democrats taking Texas". Sharon Dawson and her husband Michael voted for Labour. In the past they have voted for both the main parties. Sharon voted Labour in 2015 while Michael plumped for the Conservatives. "We are pleased but very surprised," Sharon said. "With such a big majority we didn't really think it would happen." Sharon is a teacher, while Michael is a microbiologist working in the NHS. Both said that austerity played a key role in their decision to support Labour. "To lose more funding for us would basically mean losing teachers," Sharon said. "You can only save so much in the NHS before you have to start making cutbacks to critical services," Michael added. "The cuts have to stop." Kent is one of the few parts of the country where a grammar school system still operates. Though popular with some, a Conservative commitment to expanding the selective school system - reaffirmed in the manifesto - has also drawn significant criticism, not least from within the Conservative Party itself. "I don't think having more grammar schools will improve education for all," Sharon said. "In a fair system all students should be offered the same level of education and educational experiences." "The Tory manifesto wasn't for the people," Michael said. "It was for the rich, the upper class. You look at the Tory potential spend on the NHS and compare it to what Labour were proposing and the Labour plans are much more viable. The NHS is in crisis." Sharon says that in the week leading up to the election, rumours circulating on social media pointed to a tight result in Canterbury. But they were still caught off guard when the ballots had been counted. "Did I think Labour could win Canterbury? Hell no!" said Michael. "People are sick of austerity. I thought there might be a swing to Labour but to win was a shock." In Kensington, London, the result was perhaps even more dramatic. After several recounts, Labour candidate Emma Dent Coad was declared the winner, defeating Conservative Victoria Borwick by just 20 votes. Ms Borwick's share of the vote dropped by more than 10% while Ms Dent Coad saw Labour's vote climb by more than 11%. Kensington and Chelsea voted overwhelmingly to remain in the 2016 EU referendum, with almost 69% of voters opting to maintain Britain's EU membership. Some social media users have declared the electoral upset in Kensington, where the Liberal Democrats also increased their vote share by close to 7%, the "revenge of the remainers". Lorna, 58, voted against the Conservatives for the first time in her life. "Victoria Borwick is particularly pro-Brexit so doesn't represent her constituency," she said. "I think Brexit is nuts." Lorna did not vote for Labour, but instead opted for a pro-remain independent. A number of the voters the BBC spoke to in the area told similar stories. One 54-year-old man, who did not want to be named, said that he had voted for the Conservatives in the last eight elections but switched to the Liberal Democrats because "I am a remainer and I didn't like Theresa May's rhetoric". Labour voter Gabriela Sexton said she was "delighted" with the result. "The borough of Kensington was incredibly complacent," she said. "No one ever came to see us from the Tory party [during the campaign]." Briony Jones normally votes for the Green Party, but chose to opt for Labour in this election. "I think change is good because we have never had a MP of a different complexion to the council," she said. "I thought actually who had the most chance [of winning] and I read up on Emma Dent Coad and I liked what I read. "I'm jolly pleased." By Chris Bell, UGC and Social News team. Additional reporting by Emma Harrison Eight months after taking a memorable Aintree Grand National with Rule The World, the same owner-trainer-jockey combination returns to Liverpool with their sights on another renowned prize on jump racing's most famous track. This time, owner and airline tycoon Michael O'Leary, trainer Michael 'Mouse' Morris and jockey David Mullins are targeting the Betfred Becher Chase, staged around three-quarters of the Grand National course where the forbidding Becher's Brook must be cleared just once. With last spring's Merseyside star - which carried the silks of O'Leary's racing operation, Gigginstown House Stud - now retired, they are represented by Rogue Angel, who teed up an unforgettable fortnight for the owner and trainer when winning Ireland's Grand National 12 days before Aintree. And Morris believes the eight-year-old, who has had a small procedure aimed at assisting his breathing since finishing last at Cork in November, could one day himself "rule the world". He said: "Rogue Angel would be a real National type. We've won it once so everything else would be a bonus, [but] there's no point sleeping if you don't dream. "He had a slight wind problem and wasn't getting home so he had a small operation and that seems to have made a difference. "We'll see how he gets on [in the Becher Chase], but all being well he'll probably have another run and then we'd plan to keep him fresh for the Grand National - of course I'd love to win another one." The victory of Rule The World, who was pensioned off because it was felt that he had no more to prove, turned out to be a vintage Aintree fairytale. The horse, winning his only steeplechase at the 14th attempt, was bouncing back after a catalogue of injuries which included fracturing his pelvis twice. Meanwhile, at 19 his jockey, a nephew of Irish champion trainer Willie Mullins, was amongst the youngest riders to win in the race's 177-year history. But for raw emotion, it was Morris who was the centre of attention as he spoke of continuing to come to terms with the tragic loss of his son Christopher - 'Tiffer' - who died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning aged 30 in 2015, while on holiday in South America. Looking to the skies, the one-time leading jockey famously declared that "Tiffer was working overtime for me". Media playback is not supported on this device April's 33-1 victory came over joint favourite The Last Samuri, who will also be returning to Aintree for the Becher Chase in which jockey of the moment Brian Hughes, the winner of 31 races during November, is due to ride. Talking of form, Colin Tizzard, trainer of big names Cue Card, Thistlecrack and Native River, looks to make jump racing's Saturday headlines for the fifth week running with Viconte Du Noyer. And attempting to make Becher Chase history by becoming the first back-to-back winner, will be the Jimmy Moffatt-trained Highland Lodge. The 10-year-old is to be ridden by jockey Henry Brooke, who recently made a comeback from an injury considered serious enough by doctors for him to spend several days in an induced coma in October. Cumbria-based Moffatt said: "The horse has had a nice, gradual run [build-up] as he's been in full training since the middle of July. He hasn't been on track but that's been on purpose as we have lovely big fields here we can work around. "It was soft ground when he won last year, and obviously we'd like conditions to be replicated as much as possible, but if you dip back in his form he's run some good races on good ground too." A total of 24 runners have been confirmed for the feature at Aintree, while six will be chasing the weekend's other major British prize, the two-mile Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown. With Sprinter Sacre, the reigning champion chaser over the distance, retired because of injury, another old favourite Sire De Grugy looks to win the race for what would be a record-equalling third time. As usual, jockey Jamie Moore rides Sire De Grugy for his trainer-father Gary, who also saddles Ar Mad, a winner on the Sandown card in 2015, ridden by Jamie's brother Josh. Heading the field is the Ruby Walsh-ridden Irish chaser Un De Sceaux, runner-up to Sprinter Sacre at the Cheltenham Festival, and expected to be a standard-bearer for the Willie Mullins stable in the months ahead. The bookies were predicting that Mullins, for whom Un De Sceaux will be his first runner of the season in Britain, would saddle the brilliant, 10-race winning six-year-old Douvan, but he misses the race. I suppose it's easy to say when you haven't backed him, but, in my opinion, it was slightly disappointing that some ante-post bets on Douvan were returned. The risk of being a late non-runner is, after all, what betting in advance of a race is all about. BBC Radio 5 live will be at Aintree and Sandown for all the news on Saturday. Liberal Democrat Aled Roberts asked why Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board had spent so much filling doctors' shifts over the last eighteen months. The board is currently being supported by government officials as it tries to improve its management. The Welsh government said spending on agency staff would be tackled. A new team of managers is trying to turn the board's fortunes around after a critical watchdog report in 2013 led to the resignations of several senior figures. Mr Roberts told the assembly's Public Accounts Committee on Tuesday that Betsi Cadwaladr had spent £12.5m on locum doctors in 2013/14 and £8.3m during the first five months of 2014/15, and that expenditure on agency nurses had also increased substantially. He asked government officials: "Have any of you actually been on wards and discussed how chaotic the whole situation is, where basically they decide at 5 o'clock in the evening how many nurses they are going to phone up for?" Committee chairman Darren Millar added: "There is significant potential here that the committee sees for cost reduction whilst maintaining levels of service and the staff complements that the board needs. "It is a concern to us that we are seeing rising agency costs at a time when we would anticipate that this is one of the areas that needs to be focused on in terms of cost reduction." Dr Andrew Goodall, director general of health and social services at the Welsh government, replied: "This is one of the areas that we will be focusing on with the intervention. "We do have an expectation that locum and agency spend is reduced." The bronze plaque was prised from the front of All Saints' Church by thieves in 2007. It was later recovered from a nearby scrap dealers. Commemorating the lives of men from Gjers Mills ironworks, it will now be repaired thanks to £8,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Father Glyn Holland said he was "delighted" it was finally being fixed. The money will also be used to fund a project exploring the impact of World War One on Middlesbrough, its industries and churches. Frustrated with traditional monitoring and its risks, Mr Samuelson and George have since joined a growing group of T1 sufferers who are building their own solutions to manage their diabetes - even though they come with their own uncertainties. Traditional monitoring involves taking blood samples from the fingertips several times a day and administering precise injections of insulin to maintain blood sugar levels. However, over the course of an hour they can change dramatically and too much insulin can be fatal. It works for many - new British Prime Minister Theresa May has talked openly about living with type 1 diabetes since her diagnosis in 2012. "In basic management terms, it's the same for everybody," she told Diabetes UK in an interview. "You have to get into a routine where you are regularly doing the testing." But Mr Samuelson and George are among thousands who have chosen a different approach. They are using Nightscout, an open source platform developed and run by a global community of type 1 diabetics. Open source means it is freely available for anyone to use and modify - in this case at their own risk. It's a combination of a commercial product called a Continuing Glucose Monitor (CGM), which provides constant updates, a DIY transmitter and the freely available Nightscout programming code which enables the CGM data to be shared with a cloud data storage area - where it can then be distributed to other devices. So both father and son now receive constant updates on their phones (and George's smartwatch) and are able to assess George's needs minute by minute. It has given George the gift of freedom - he can now join his friends on sleepovers and enjoy his favourite sports. Mr Samuelson acknowledges that it is not without risk. "I am using open source software to do calibrations. Open source software is giving me final numbers and it is not an approved algorithm - it's not going to be exactly the same as the proprietary algorithms," he says. "But you have to make an informed decision... compared to all the other risks the benefits massively outweigh them." Why not use the commercial products offering this shared data? There are not many on the market - and they are expensive. Rachel from Guildford is using G5, a system by Dexcom, to monitor her son Joe, also nine, but at current rates it will cost the family thousands of pounds a year. Most of Dexcom's apps are also only compatible with Apple devices. The homegrown alternatives aren't completely free either - you still need to buy a CGM and there is the cost of new sensors, which must be changed regularly. Rachel says she was too nervous about the DIY nature of Nightscout - creating the transmitter for the data involves being handy with a soldering iron - but agrees that the benefits of the continuous data being accessible to them all have proved life-changing. "We went climbing in the Peak District soon after we got it," she said. "If we hadn't had the tech we would have completely scaled back on what we were planning to do that week. But we were able to use the Bluetooth, walking behind him and tracking him." Another sufferer called Stephen Black created X Drip, which can pull data from Dexcom devices and share it with cloud storage. He is not alone - search the hashtag #wearenotwaiting and you will find active voluntary groups of those living with the condition creating their own systems and making them available to all, frustrated with the slow pace of the market leaders. Their activities are not subject to official testing and regulation as they are not commercial medical products. "I'm a big proponent of the idea that patients are the experts of their own disease and know what the real problems are in managing the disease," said Dr Joyce Lee from the Night Scout Foundation, which is based in the US. "They've created tools they need for their own daily management. "What the tech has done is allowed healthcare to become participatory but the healthcare system has yet to become comfortable with that," she adds "I'm a big fan of the maker movement - it will never go away. People will continue to innovate and create new versions." One such "maker" is Tim Omer, who created his own Android app to work with X Drip. Mr Omer has an insulin pump and his app also offers suggestions as to how it should function to keep his levels steady. Like Alistair Samuelson, Tim Omer believes the risks associated with the DIY tech are matched by the risks of living with type 1 diabetes itself. "Diabetes is really risky. Right now we are given this [potentially] lethal medication called insulin and told, 'oh just inject and see what happens'," he said. "So moving to a more logical system with a lot more information available is actually safer." He says using his own app has been massively liberating. "I can look at my watch right now and know i have 'x' amount of insulin inside me," he said. "Twenty-five minutes ago my watch vibrated to tell me to turn my pump off because my blood sugars were low. "I can go about my daily life knowing the app will notify me if i need to make a change." There are many more out there - like Open APS (Artificial Pancreas System), another open source community project in which 85 people are managing their type 1 diabetes with kit which includes a Raspberry Pi microcomputer. Those who choose to try it must build their own and it is also not approved by any regulatory bodies. The diabetes charity JDRF is cautiously positive about these tools, throwing its own support behind a new project called Tidepool, which is FDA compliant and does not suggest insulin calculations. "Such technology does seem to offer benefits to people with the condition - particularly parents of children with type 1 diabetes who get peace of mind by remotely checking their child's blood glucose levels via their smartphone," it said in a statement. "But it's important to add that many of these open source systems available are unregulated. They are not yet subject to the stringent testing and assessment required before they can be approved for use by people with type 1 diabetes." The 27-year-old German made 26 appearances for the Bundesliga side last season, helping them to an eighth-placed finish. He has also had spells with MSV Duisburg and Eintracht Frankfurt. Thomas Christiansen's side start the Championship season with a trip to newly-promoted Bolton Wanderers on Sunday, 6 August. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. But there has been sharp criticism of the ban proposed by senator Elena Mizulina and backed by the government. Some warn that a ban will mean more dead babies left in woods or at rubbish dumps. Russia has about 20 of the boxes, where a mother can anonymously leave a baby at a maternity unit. A UN committee has condemned the boxes. In a report on Russia in 2014, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child urged Russia to "undertake all the measures necessary to not allow baby boxes and to promote alternatives". The Russian state, it said, should "address the root causes that lead to the abandonment of infants, including by providing family planning services and adequate counselling and social support for unplanned pregnancies". The draft law - yet to be debated in parliament - would not only ban the boxes but also impose a fine of up to 5m roubles (£60,815; $79,000) for installing such a box. An organisation breaking the ban could be shut down for three months. Russia's popular daily Komsomolskaya Pravda says (in Russian) that since the boxes first appeared in Russia in 2011 they have saved the lives of about 50 unwanted babies. Ms Mizulina however argued that the boxes' existence encouraged struggling mothers to abandon their babies and risked fuelling the criminal trade in babies. The row about baby boxes coincides with a campaign to restrict abortion rights in Russia. An anti-abortion petition signed by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, calls for abortions to be removed from the national health insurance system. A leading Russian gynaecologist, Lyubov Yerofeeva, told BBC Russian that the anti-abortion initiative would pose a health risk to women who could not afford private fees. Some 90% of abortions in Russia are carried out in state clinics, "which shows that our women don't have the money for it", she said. Baby boxes are also controversial in some other countries where they have been introduced. Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Canada, the US and Japan are just some of the countries that have them. They have a long history. In the Middle Ages convents and churches had wooden cylinders built into their walls, where a destitute mother could leave an unwanted baby. To remain anonymous, the mother could simply ring a bell and walk away - and her baby would be collected by rotating the cylinder. Supporters of the boxes in Russia deplored Ms Mizulina's proposal on social media. "Bans will solve nothing. After banning abortions and baby boxes the number of underground abortions will grow, as well as children abandoned at rubbish dumps, left to die," wrote one user on the Russian blogging platform LiveJournal. "First, baby boxes get banned. Next abortions will be banned. Then contraceptives. Back to the Middle Ages!" said the spoof account Fake-MIDRF on Twitter. Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic scored in each half on his first Newcastle start since September. Mohamed Diame also struck twice - his first goals for the club - while Matt Ritchie scored a penalty and Ayoze Perez netted in stoppage time. Preston midfielder Alan Browne had been sent off for elbowing Jack Colback. Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez made seven changes to his side, who are top of the Championship table, including recalling Mitrovic and Diame. They led 1-0 through Mitrovic's headed opener when Browne was dismissed. Diame's goals were spectacular long-range efforts, while Newcastle also hit the woodwork twice in the second half. Victory took the Magpies into the League Cup quarter-finals for only the second time in nine seasons. The clubs meet again on Saturday in the league at Deepdale. Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez: "We play Preston again. They will try to amend the situation; they will try to change things. We will be playing away, so it will be totally different. "It's another competition, so we have to enjoy it. Normally I say one or two days and after, concentrate on the next game. It will be tough, for sure." Preston boss Simon Grayson: "I'm not going through that again on Saturday. This is a big arena; it's a big pitch - they make it big. It will be different on Saturday. "I'm not going to make promises that it's going to be a different scoreline, but I'd like to think that it will be. "We could have played our strongest team from Saturday and still been beaten tonight. The league is our priority, but we are hugely disappointed." Match ends, Newcastle United 6, Preston North End 0.

The tech firm was the biggest main gainer, adding 4.18% after giving a revenue forecast in line with analysts' expectations. Overall, the Dow was up 71.64 at 18,108.34 points, while the S&P 500 rose 10.44 to 2,106.28. Meanwhile, the tech-rich Nasdaq gained 33.73 points to 5,011.02. Other big winners on the Dow included JP Morgan and Exxon, notching up healthy gains for the second day in a row. JP Morgan was up 1.19%, following a rise of 1.56% on Tuesday, when it reported a 12% rise in profit to $5.91bn for the three months to the end of March. Exxon was up 1.66%, after rising 1.5% on Tuesday on the back of a rise in oil prices. US benchmark crude was trading $2.74 higher at $55.95 a barrel in New York. Bank of America fell 1.2% after first-quarter earnings came in below expectations. The Imps missed a good early chance when Matt Rhead, having been fouled by Kai Edwards inside the area, saw his penalty saved by a diving Luke Coddington, low to his right. Elliott Whitehouse, however, put the hosts ahead from a Nathan Arnold corner. The ball dropped to the midfielder, whose shot was deflected in by Hamza Bencherif. However, they suffered a setback when Raggett was shown a straight red card for a foul on Rob Evans after just 27 minutes, forcing Imps boss Danny Cowley into an early change.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up. The video, first posted by the People's Daily, shows a trainer asking eight employees why they did not "exceed themselves" at training. He then spanks them with what looks like a stick. Reports say he later also cut and shaved their hair. Two executives at the bank have been suspended. The incident took place at a training session for more than 200 employees at Changzhi Zhangze Rural Commercial Bank in northern China on Saturday. The trainer, Jiang Yang, has issued an apology, saying the spanking was "a training model I have tried for years" and had not been instigated by executives at the bank. The video, which first surfaced on Monday, appears to have been taken by someone in the audience on a smartphone. Mr Jiang is seen reprimanding eight bank employees on stage, asking them why they received the lowest scores in a training exercise. The employees give answers including "I did not exceed myself", "I did not co-ordinate with my team" and "I lacked courage". Mr Jiang then says "get your butts ready" and proceeds to spank them with what appears to be a thick piece of wood. It shows at least four rounds of spanking, with one woman recoiling each time, apparently in pain. At one point, that women places her hands over her behind, but is told to "take your hand off". The spanking was followed by a "hair cutting punishment", a statement (in Chinese) by the Changzhi local government said. Chinese media reports said the men had their heads shaved, while the women had their hair cut. According to the statement, the Shanxi Rural Credit Co-operatives Union, which regulates the bank, has set up a group to investigate the incident. The bank's chairman and deputy governor had been suspended for "failing to strictly check the content of the course", the regulator said, while the bank would help the employees seek compensation from the training company. Mr Jiang has issued a video apology, and said the spanking had "nothing to do" with the leaders at the bank. Such rumours "had severely harmed his clients and the leaders" at the bank, he added. People online have been expressing outrage over the treatment of staff. "Since when does beating employees become a way of raising performance?" one user asked on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblog used in China. Another user said he was dissatisfied because he felt Mr Jiang had focused on apologising to the banking executives. "In his video apology, he kept emphasising that he had hurt the leadership at Changzhi Zhangze Rural Commercial Bank! He spanked the employees, but apologised to the leadership? What sort of logic is this?" Crazy Night refers to a student named Anna Jean - a reference to Anna Jean O'Donnell, whom Williams briefly dated while at the University of Missouri. Williams wrote poetry about O'Donnell but only made passing mention to her in his notebooks and memoirs. The short story features in the spring edition of literary journal The Strand. According to its managing editor Andrew Gulli, the story, believed to have been written in the 1930s, could be "the missing piece of the puzzle" surrounding Williams' formative romantic liaison. The writer would go on to use his mother Edwina as the model for Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire and based the character of Laura Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie on his sister Rose. In Crazy Night, the narrator, a college freshman on an unnamed campus, has an intimate encounter with Anna Jean only to lose her to another student. The title of the story refers to a college ritual during which students are expected to binge on alcohol and sex.

Second-half goals from John Sutton and Lewis Morgan at Somerset Park gave the Paisley club new hope and they still have a game in hand over United. Sutton rounded the keeper to score from a tight angle on 51 minutes. And Morgan finished calmly from a breakaway eight minutes from time as the home side were chasing the game. The opening goal also came on a break, with experienced striker Sutton cracking the offside trap with a run timed to perfection. He was one-on-one with Greg Fleming and, despite being forced wide, managed to force the ball home. There followed a nervous period with both sides clearly petrified to put a foot wrong but the mood among the large visiting support was calmed with Morgan's strike. Again Ayr were caught short in defence, this time in a four versus two situation and Morgan stroked in the finish at Fleming's left post. St Mirren were the better team and were busy in the United area but only once created a clear-cut shot in the first half which forced a save from Fleming and it was a spectacular one too. Stevie Mallan's strike was net-bound until the Ayr goalie launched himself across his goal. The urgency of the situation was clearly not lost on the St Mirren support. They contributed 1,244 paying customers in an attendance of 2,714 - making up almost half the crowd. There is still huge work to be done for Saints but they did look a re-energised side. United, meanwhile, will point out that they have the points in the bag. The Buddies play their game in hand at home to league leaders Hibs on Wednesday. Match ends, Ayr United 0, St. Mirren 2.

Officers put the sheep into a patrol car, took it to a police station and called the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals [DSPCA]. A spokeswoman said it was the fourth sheep they have had to pick up from the city centre over the last 18 months. On their official Twitter account, An Garda Síochána (Irish police) tweeted a photo of the sheep and wrote: "Woolly story! Sheep found in Oliver Bond flats last night! Now safe at Kevin St Garda station. DSPA on the way." The flat complex, in the south inner city, is named after the 18th Century Irish revolutionary Oliver Bond, who made his living as a merchant in the woollen trade. The ewe was said to be in good health and has been transferred from the station to DSPCA facility in Rathfarnham, south Dublin, where she has been given a new name. DSPCA spokeswoman Gillian Bird told the BBC: "She is from the Oliver Bond Flats so we have named her Special Agent Olivia Bond, Licensed to lamb." She added that it was illegal to keep a farm animal without a licence and although there are some city centre farms in Dublin, a flat complex was not an appropriate setting to keep a sheep. Ms Bird said it was "not unusual" for farm animals to be stolen and brought into the city, and that some thieves did it "for fun". She said they recently rescued a nanny goat from the south Dublin suburb of Tallaght, after a member of the public called them to report that children were "kicking it around the street". The goat had recently given birth to two kids, and the DSPCA managed to reunite the animal with its owner and its offspring. The DSPCA now intends to launch an appeal to find the owner of the sheep. They were killed during raids on hideouts in a village near al-Arish town in the north of the region, AP news agency reports. An offensive against Islamist militants in Sinai was launched last week after 16 border guards were killed. It was the most brazen attack against Egyptian troops in the Sinai region for years. Sunday's killings in al-Ghora village, some 30km (19 miles) south of al-Arish, are the first reported casualties among the suspected militants since the military operation began. A security source told the AFP news agency the suspected militants were armed with rocket launchers, grenades and automatic weapons. State television, which gave no details of the fighting, said three soldiers had also been killed. Analysts say that the security situation in the Sinai has deteriorated following the fall of Egypt's long-time President Hosni Mubarak last year, which Islamist extremists appear to have exploited. The area in Sinai where the borders of Egypt, Israel and Gaza meet has also become a hotbed of smuggling - through tunnels into Gaza. On Friday, Bedouin leaders in the Sinai agreed to help the army in its offensive and they also backed plans to destroy the smuggling tunnels into Gaza. Amazon cited a "decreasing demand" for the discs and a growing number of customers who were streaming movies and TV series instead. The move has irritated some fans, who argue that a wider range of films is available to rent on DVD and Blu-ray. Lovefilm was founded in 2002 and acquired by Amazon in 2011, when it had more than 1.4 million subscribers. For a monthly subscription fee, Lovefilm customers could receive a DVD or Blu-ray disc of their choice via post that they would send back once watched. From 2010, some content could also be accessed via online streaming instead. A spokesman for Amazon told the BBC it planned to donate Lovefilm's thousands of discs "to charity partners". The spokesman did not say how many individual discs this amounted to, but he noted that Lovefilm's catalogue covers more than 80,000 titles. "We have very much enjoyed delivering the Lovefilm By Post service to our customers," said Amazon in a statement. "However, over the last few years we've seen a decreasing demand for DVD and Blu-ray rental as customers increasingly move to streaming. "We are committed to finding alternative roles for all Lovefilm employees within Amazon." Some fans of Lovefilm were left disgruntled by the decision. "It's not great, to be honest," customer Michael Harrison told the BBC. He argued that there was a wider selection of films available to rent in physical form than with streaming services. "You don't have to buffer it, or worry about pixelation," he added. "I live in a small town and we don't have many shops around - it was great for me to get films posted to me." Another customer wrote on Twitter: "Very sad at the demise of Lovefilm. "We're old school in my house and still enjoy renting our DVDs." Amazon has published a help page on its website for customers of Lovefilm, notifying them of the service's closure. Canaries boss Alex Neil revealed, following his side's pre-season friendly win against Peterborough on Saturday, that Jarvis faces "two to three months out" after having surgery. The 30-year-old joined the Canaries from West Ham for £2.5m in December 2015 after a loan spell at Carrow Road. He played a total of 21 games for the club last season, scoring two goals. City, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, are away against Blackburn Rovers in their opening game in the Championship on Saturday, 6 August. Media playback is not supported on this device Even though captain Joe Root sparkled for 78, the home side were bowled out for 205, losing their last seven wickets for 62 runs. Chris Morris and Keshav Maharaj each took three wickets, while Vernon Philander impressed for 2-48. South Africa, bowled out for 335 in their first innings, closed on 75-1, a lead of 205 at Trent Bridge. Barring a remarkable collapse followed by an incredible improvement in England's batting, the Proteas will level the four-match series at 1-1. Media playback is not supported on this device Root aside, England's batting showed none of the patience, application or determination to repel a South Africa attack that had the benefit of helpful conditions - and even Jonny Bairstow's 45 was tinged with fortune. Philander, swinging the ball on a full length, was a particular threat, ending a stand of 83 between Root and Gary Ballance (27) by squeezing through the left-hander's flimsy defence. After Root fell, left-arm spinner Maharaj and paceman Morris worked through the middle and lower order. Maharaj had Ben Stokes caught behind, found turn to bowl Bairstow and got Liam Dawson to top-edge a sweep to short fine leg. Moeen Ali loosely drove Morris to short cover, with Stuart Broad pinned lbw next ball and a fending Mark Wood caught at second slip. Root made 190 in the first Test at Lord's, his first as captain, and, if anything, parts of this knock were even more impressive, given the circumstances. He arrived at 3-2 after England lost two wickets in two balls - Alastair Cook caught behind via an inside edge off Philander and Keaton Jennings edging a beauty from Morne Morkel - and immediately earned a cheer from the crowd by clipping his first ball for three. What followed was some dazzling strokeplay, square of the wicket on both sides, made all the more remarkable given the assistance offered to the bowlers in the air and off the pitch. Root's 40-ball half-century tied Graham Gooch's mark as the quickest by an England captain in a Test. When he played an airy drive to edge Morkel, Root departed in a fury, and the rest of his team followed in meek fashion. Media playback is not supported on this device England perhaps failed to exploit the conditions on day one, erring on the short side, but that was corrected by James Anderson's wonderful swing bowling on the second morning. Hooping the ball, Anderson took 4-4 in 16 deliveries to complete figures of 5-72 as South Africa crumbled from their overnight 309-6. He took the applause for a seventh five-wicket haul on this ground, but was back bowling again before the end of the day. Anderson had Heino Kuhn caught at second slip, the 15th wicket to fall in the day, only for Dean Elgar and Hashim Amla to add 57 and give England a lesson on the approach to Test batting. Ex-England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on TMS: "England were rubbish! Absolute tripe. They played a batsmen less and an extra spinner - and look, it's the seamers doing the damage. "Get a microphone out and take it round the public and ask them what they think about England's batting. In four hours they have lost the game. It's poor." Former England spinner Graeme Swann on TMS: "The England bowlers will get some criticism for not looking as threatening as South Africa's but the attack are tired. "When you have only had three or four hours with your feet up it's tough to come out and do it again. "I feel for England's bowlers. England look down and out and defeated now, there is not a lot of energy there. "They need to be positive and believe they can bowl South Africa out for under 200. And they can!" South Africa's Chris Morris: "I'm never surprised by how England bat. They are quite an attacking team and that is where their success has come recently. "They are a good batting team. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't. Fortunately for us it was our day." Mr Lewis, a former BBC reporter, won 19,033 votes, a majority of 7,654 over Conservative candidate Lisa Townsend. Green Party candidate Lesley Grahame won 6,749 votes, with Mr Wright in fourth with 6,607 votes. Mr Wright had won the seat from the former Labour Home Secretary Charles Clarke in 2010. In North Norfolk, Lib Dem health minister Norman Lamb retained his seat. He said: "It has been an awful night and very painful to lose some good colleagues. "It is extraordinary to look at the contrasting fortunes of the two parties involved in this coalition."

New signing Stuart Beavon looked to have secured Coventry a valuable three points when he fired home in the 69th minute to put the hosts 2-1 ahead. The diminutive striker - signed from Burton 24 hours before the game - fired home a low shot after a superb run from Ryan Haynes, who ghosted past three defenders before putting Beavon in inside the visitors' area. But Clayton's late leveller saw Bolton snatch a point to remain in second spot in League One. Beavon was also involved in Coventry's opening goal in the 37th minute, the experienced forward showing dogged determination to rob defender Mark Beevers of possession and help set up Marcus Tudgay for his 100th career goal. It was a rare moment of quality in a desperately poor first half but Bolton were far more on their game after the half-time break. David Wheater headed wide for the visitors on the hour but, five minutes later, they were back in the game when Haynes pulled over striker Gary Madine, allowing substitute Zach Clough to convert from the penalty spot. Beavon's goal two minutes later appeared to have won it for his new side but Clayton showed a cool head to convert from inside the area right at the end. Report supplied by the Press Association.

As rival warlords tore the country apart into clan-based fiefdoms, an internationally-backed unity government formed in 2000 struggled to establish control, and the two relatively peaceful northern regions of Somaliland and Puntland effectively broke away. The seizure of the capital Mogadishu and much of the country's south by a coalition of Islamist shariah courts in 2006 prompted an intervention by Ethiopian, and later, African Union, forces. Since 2012, when a new internationally-backed government was installed, Somalia has been inching towards stability, but the new authorities still face a challenge from Al-Qaeda-aligned Al-Shabab insurgents. Population 10.8 million (UN, 2015) Area 637,657sq km (246,201 sq miles) Major languages Somali, Arabic, Italian, English Major religion Islam Life expectancy 54 years (men), 57 years (women) Currency Somali shilling President: Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, also known as Farmajo, was elected by MPs gathered under tight security in a hangar at the airport of the capital Mogadishu in February 2017. The dual US-Somali citizen served as prime minister for eight months between 2010 and 2011 when he gained popularity by ensuring regular payment of army salaries and implementing a biometric register for security personnel. He has expressed readiness to talk to the Islamist al-Shabab militants. Somalia's disintegration is reflected in its fragmented and partisan media, which operates in a hostile environment. Journalists and media outlets complain about intimidation at the hands of state security agencies. Nevertheless, professionally-run media outlets have emerged - in particular, FM radios with no explicit factional links. The TV and press sectors are weak and radio is the dominant medium. Domestic web access is held back by poor infrastructure, but social media use is on the rise. 7th-19th centuries - From the 7th-century arrival of Islam onwards, modern-day Somalia is ruled by a series of at times competing sultanates. 19th century - European colonial powers gradually make inroads into Somalia's rival regional states, with the bulk of the area coming under Italian rule and the British establishing control of the northwest. 1960 - Italian Somaliland and British Somaliland become independent, merge and form the United Republic of Somalia. 1969 - Mohamed Siad Barre assumes power in coup after the assassination of the elected president; he goes on to declare Somalia a socialist state and nationalises most of the economy. 1991 - The ousting of Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 sparks a decades-long civil war between rival clan warlords and the disintegration of central authority. Former British Somaliland declares unilateral independence. 1990s- US-spearheaded UN peacekeeping mission fails to restore peace. Northern Puntland region declares autonomy in 1998. 2005-2012 Pirates - mainly operating out of Puntland - pose a major menace to shipping off the Somali coast, before falling away as a threat as a result of an international naval operation. 2006 - Militias loyal to the Islamist Union of Islamic Courts capture Mogadishu and other parts of south after defeating clan warlords, before being driven out by Ethiopian forces. 2007-11 - An African Union peacekeeping force, Amisom, begins to deploy and Ethiopian troops withdraw in 2009. Al-Shabab - a jihadist breakaway from the Islamic Courts - advance into southern and central Somalia, prompting an armed intervention by Kenya. 2012 - Efforts to restore a central authority since 2000 finally make substantial progress, with the swearing in of the first formal parliament in more than 20 years, and the holding of the first presidential election since 1967. Pro-government forces make key advances against Al-Shabab militants. It emerged last month the England and Wales Cricket Board was considering high-capacity venues at the request of the International Cricket Council. The 60,000-seat London Stadium is much larger than any UK cricket ground. However, a number of other feasibility issues must be addressed. To stage cricket, the stadium's seating configuration would be similar to that used for athletics, rather than as employed by tenants West Ham United for football matches. Obstacles to overcome include the cost-effectiveness of turfing the entire playing area and the suitability of drop-in pitches, which are rarely used in the UK. And, even though the tournament, which runs from 30 May to 15 July, is unlikely to encroach on either the football season or athletics' Anniversary Games, there must be sufficient time to convert the stadium. If all of these challenges can be met then it is likely the stadium, which hosted the 2012 Olympics, will be used for a small portion of the World Cup, perhaps a one-week window, rather than throughout the seven-week competition. Eleven traditional cricket venues - Lord's, The Oval, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston, Old Trafford, Headingley, Cardiff, Southampton, Chester-le-Street, Taunton and Bristol - are in line to host matches. Of that list, Lord's has the highest capacity - about 30,000. However, the ICC is keen to replicate the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which saw attendances in excess of 90,000 in Melbourne, and games held at other large stadiums in Sydney, Adelaide and Auckland. Of those, Auckland's Eden Park, traditionally a rugby ground, has dimensions that left the straight boundaries incredibly short. London Stadium has previously been considered by Essex for domestic Twenty20 matches. Ashcroft played 20 games for Killie last season, including the 4-0 second-leg playoff final victory over Falkirk that kept the club in the top flight. However, manager Lee Clark elected not to offer Ashcroft, 22, a new deal after his contract at Rugby Park expired. The Pars have already bolstered their squad with the signing of Inverness midfielder Nat Wedderburn. The women were sitting in a silver Vauxhall Astra car in the McDonnell Street area in the early hours of Friday morning when they were approached by four men. The men opened the doors of the car and assaulted the women before ordering them out of the vehicle. They then drove off in the car in the direction of Cullingtree Road. Police said it was later recovered in Quadrant Place. They said the women sustained minor injuries and were left badly shaken by their ordeal. Orica-Scott's Van Vleuten, 34, attacked the lead group in the final 5km to take victory on the Col d'Izoard summit. Boels-Doemans rider Deignan, 28, was 43 seconds behind, with Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini a further 40 seconds back in third. The race ends on Saturday with a 22.5km 'chase' in Marseille. The top riders will set off according to the time gaps established on the opening stage, with Van Vleuten first on to the course. Van Vleuten returned to action last year following a horrific crash while leading the road race at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Deignan, the British road race champion and former world champion, started the 67km stage in support of American team-mate Megan Guarnier and did the majority of the riding on the front of the peloton. She helped bring back lone attacker Linda Villumsen of New Zealand with 9km to go, before an elite group of 10 riders established themselves in the final 6km of the Alpine climb, which averages 7.3% in gradient. However, Deignan broke free with Australia's Shara Gillow before trying in vain to chase down Van Vleuten, while Guarnier recovered to finish fourth. "I messed up by being a domestique then a leader, so it's my own fault for not having confidence in myself," Deignan told ITV4. "Megan put her hand up at the start of the day and said she could be leader. "I wouldn't call myself a time triallist but perhaps this gives me a chance [for overall victory]." Guarnier finished 45 seconds behind Deignan, who could choose to wait for her team-mate on Saturday's stage so they can work together to chase down Van Vleuten. Van Vleuten suffered severe concussion and three small fractures in her back when she crashed heavily in the Olympic road race last year. She has been in impressive form this season, winning two stages of the Giro Rosa stage race and leading the women's World Tour standings. "To finish here in front of so many people is amazing," she said. "I didn't used to be a climber but after the Olympic Games I proved that I can do it, so have worked more on my climbing."

"It was a very big shock. We are in a very bad state," said Suresh Mara, manager of Jai Ho restaurant, which might be forced out. The council said major international businesses wanted to move to the area. Its executive discussed the business park and expressed its willingness to use CPO powers to buy the land on Thursday. But, residents said they knew nothing about the plan in advance. Mr Mara, whose business would be affected, said he did not know what was happening. "Nobody consulted us and suddenly we are getting this news," he said. "There are 15 or 16 staff whose families will be jeopardised." Green county councillor Jonathan Essex said the development would use up green space, which separated homes in Horley, Surrey from the West Sussex airport. "Horley should be a separate town, not just part of the urban sprawl of Gatwick," he said. Conservative councillor Natalie Bramhall said information about the plans could not be made public previously because it was "commercially confidential". "Now we have made the decision we will be talking to and consulting with residents, employers and landowners who could potentially be affected," she said. "Attracting investment is really important in delivering economic benefits for the borough and jobs for residents. "We have already had offers from major international businesses that want to move on to this site so we could be providing fantastic jobs for the local residents." 28-year-old Kwarasey had been absent from the Black Stars since their participation at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Ghana coach Avram Grant convinced the shot-stopper - who plays for MLS side Portland Timbers - to return to the national set-up ahead of their matches against the Mambas later this month. Captain Asamoah Gyan is also in the squad as is Mubarak Wakaso. But Swansea forward Andre Ayew is not included due to an ankle injury. Ghana are top of Group H with a maximum six points from their opening two games. The Black Stars host Mozambique on 24 March in Accra before playing the return leg in Maputo four days later.

The area's first Welsh medium primary school will be created at the current Ysgol Maesydre site to replace them. The council originally dropped plans for a Welsh school in the 1990s in the face of a large campaign. There was just one objection to the latest plan. A new English-medium Church in Wales school will also be built near Welshpool High School after the council's cabinet backed the recommendations in a report. The new schools will operate from the existing sites for the 2017-18 academic year. The 15-year-old's body was found in a wooded area in the West Dunbartonshire town on 21 March. She had more than 140 injuries and been stabbed 61 times. Paige was last seen entering a deli, owned by 32-year-old John Leathem. He admitted her murder and claimed to have "panicked" after Paige threatened to report him for sexual assault after she applied for a job. At the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lady Rae deferred sentence on Leathem until next month and told the married father-of-two: "This was a savage, frenzied attack on a child." The court heard that Paige, who was 4ft 8in, had stayed with a friend in Clydebank the night before she was killed. She had gone into the delicatessen, on Fleming Avenue, to buy a roll before travelling to a hairdressers where she worked in Kirkintilloch, about 12 miles away. CCTV footage played in court showed Paige entering Delicious Deli at 08:21. Leathem is believed to have killed her shortly afterwards. Prosecutor Iain McSporran told the court: "That was the last time she was seen or captured on CCTV alive by anyone other than by Leathem." Just 10 minutes after Paige entered the deli, the shutter to the front door was pulled down. Leathem told the owner of a nearby hairdresser who had peered in: "What a morning - the lassie didn't turn up. I had a nose bleed and I need to collect my car." After collecting his car and parking it outside the deli, Leathem began his attempt to cover up the murder. CCTV images showed him running to neighbouring shops to buy bin bags and anti-bacterial wipes. Shortly afterwards he is seen taking Paige's body from the deli to his car. Mr McSporran said: "The body of Paige Doherty was wrapped in what appeared to be black bin bags...her white socked foot protruding. "He placed her body in the rear of the car and closed the boot." Leathem went on to change his trousers and bought bottles of bleach before going back to his shop. Mr McSporran told the court: "The shop then remained open for business with Leathem fully engaged in preparing food and serving customers until 3.15pm that afternoon." Prosecutors believe he had initially moved Paige's body from his car to his garden shed. Concerns were raised that night when no-one had heard from Paige. Her mother Pamela Munro went to police and a missing person inquiry began. The day after the murder Leathem went on a family outing to Balmaha with his wife and young child. On 21 March, two days after the murder, Leathem is believed to have moved Paige's body. His car was filmed on CCTV at the area where her body was dumped - a wooded area close to the city's Great Western Road, less than a mile from the deli. He then returned to the deli and opened for business. At around noon that day, two people found Paige's body within undergrowth. A post mortem examination later recorded 61 stab wounds, including 43 to her head and neck, and 85 further cuts - many of them described as "defensive in nature". As police launched a murder inquiry, Paige's mother Pamela Munro wrote on Facebook: "We are absolutely devastated, as will many people who know her will be xxx." Detectives later discovered that Paige had gone to the deli on 19 March "but had not walked away". Leathem's shop, home and car were searched, after which he was detained. Leathem initially denied any involvement with Paige's death but later admitted his guilt in the face of overwhelming evidence against him. His lawyer told the court that Leathem had been a "normal and ordinary person" before the murder. Ian Duguid QC, defending, said what happened was a "gross over-reaction" to a comment Paige allegedly made. It was claimed the teenager had gone to the deli thinking Leathem may employ her, but that he told her he had other "candidates to interview". Paige was then said to have told Leathem: "I thought I was getting the job. I will just say that you touched me." Mr Duguid said Leathem suddenly stood up at this comment before Paige started screaming. The advocate went on: "At that point, he reached across for a knife...he went to grab the knife and stabbed her." Mr Duguid concluded: "It is not my position that the nature of the comment would mitigate the number of stab wounds or the brutality of the attack. "I don't know if it is true or not, but I am only taking the instructions of the accused for what took place." The QC added that Leathem had always "accepted responsibility" for the death. The court also heard a number of victim impact statements from Paige's "heartbroken" family. Her mother Pamela revealed how she continues to suffer "sleeplessness and nightmares". Prosecutor Mr McSporran said: "She describes waking to hear her daughter's screams and the awful realisation that she was not there to help her." Her husband Andrew Munro - Paige's step-father - was said to be "living in a state of depression". The advocate depute added: "They cannot get out of their minds the terror they believe Paige must have experienced as the attack upon her began." Mr McSporran added: "The effect on her siblings - and the loss suffered by her many friends - are all set out in touching detail." Following the hearing, Det Supt Duncan Sloan, who led the inquiry, said CCTV footage had been "vital" to catching Leathem. "Officers painstakingly reviewed hours of footage which ultimately revealed that Paige walked into that shop but didn't leave," he said. "This, coupled with extensive forensic examinations of the crime scenes helped to establish what happened to Paige and who was responsible. "I am sure that the sheer weight of this evidence has led to the guilty plea at court today." The detective added: "Our thoughts remain with Paige's family, whose vibrant, bright young daughter has been cruelly taken away from them at just 15 years of age. "Paige's whole future lay ahead of her and her life has been brutally cut short by the vicious actions of one man." The victory also enabled them to set a new club record of 21 games unbeaten. Danny Wright hit the winner, his eighth goal in six games, after just three minutes, when he smashed home Asa Hall's cross. Tranmere were the last team to beat Cheltenham in the league in September, but they could not repeat that as their own five-match unbeaten run ended. Cheltenham remain four points clear of Forest Green, with Tranmere in fourth place. Cheltenham Town boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: Media playback is not supported on this device "It was a great win but a historic win as well, so I'm pleased for this group of lads that we've all got our names in the record books. "You can't just pick up these points, you've got to go and earn them and we had to earn it today. "I thought we were magnificent in the first half and maybe should've had one or two more. "Our defending's been very strong and one-nil is a one-nil - I'd have liked it to be two-nil, but it's great for our supporters to see another win from their team and no goals against." Elizabeth Kennedy was not allowed to return to her permanent job after she took a five-year career break. The tribunal found the commission had indirectly broken sex discrimination laws, albeit unintentionally. It said the commission's actions were "grossly unfair" and the injury to Ms Kennedy's feelings "significant". She was awarded £7,500 plus £637 in interest, as compensation. The tribunal found that the commission was responsible for "unlawful, indirect sex discrimination". Ms Kennedy, who is from Hillsborough, County Down, worked as a legal officer with the commission. She began her career break in January 2009 and renewed this four times up to the maximum five years, under the commission's career break policy. She told her employer in September 2013 that she intended to return to work the following January. However, she was not told until December 2013 that she could not return. She also found out that her position had been filled on a permanent basis by a man, just two or three months after her career break had begun. The tribunal said the commission had known since at least 2009 that people on career breaks would not be permitted to return. In its judgement, it said it seemed "extraordinary, as a matter of basic fairness, that this was not made plain to the claimant" on 23 September 2013 when she confirmed her intention to return to work. It was only in December that she was told it was "unlikely" that a vacancy could be identified or funded to enable her return. In its decision, the tribunal said that both the commission and the public service union Nipsa had "left an important issue unclear". The tribunal said it was "clear that the policy was written on the basis that a 'career break' meant what it said on the tin, ie : a break with a departure and a return". "It was not written on the basis that the acceptance of a career break was in fact a resignation, with no more than a limited form of preferential reinstatement if a suitable vacancy were ever to arise at some indeterminate point in the future," the tribunal said. It said the Equality Commission's actions were unfair. However, it also said the actions were unintentional and that Ms Kennedy had not argued that any indirect discrimination was intentional. Awarding the sum of money, the tribunal recommended that the Equality Commission review the operation and wording of its career break policy. In a statement, the Equality Commission said it was disappointed that the tribunal found aspects of its career break policy to be indirectly discriminatory. "The career break policy was agreed with the employees' trade union in 2001," the commission added. "It was a policy aimed at providing greater flexibility for employees. "Since then a considerable number of employees have benefitted from the policy. The changing financial position and staffing reductions over the past five years resulted in difficulties for the commission in facilitating a return to work for staff at the end of the career breaks." A passerby said they could "not believe their eyes" as the lorry attempted the bend into the tiny road near the crossroads on the High Street of Streatley, Berkshire. Tim Schulz, who lives in the annexe of the house, said he heard a "crunch" as the lorry hit the building. The crossroads next to the 15th Century Bull coaching inn has been shut. Fire crews on the scene said the lorry had damaged the chimney stack on the house which has been hit. More on this and other Berkshire stories Schulz said crews were trying to make the house safe in case the chimney stack collapses further. He added: "It's pretty insane actually. I don't know how he ever thought he could get round the corner." Mr Schulz also said the historic coaching inn had "a wedge taken out of it", though he was not sure if the pub or the lorry had "come off worse". The lorry has now been removed by fire crews, but the A329 Streatley crossroads and B4009 Streatley Hill remain closed while the chimney stack is made safe. Through fundraising, Liz Sheppard has paid for a relatively new treatment called immunotherapy, which has been described as a "game-changer". The NHS has not approved its use for treating the very rare type of cancer 36-year-old Mrs Sheppard has. But a "golf ball-sized" tumour on her neck has already shrunk. You might also like... Cancer laser treatment 'truly transformative' Boy's 'miracle' wheelchair gift to Bosnia girl Is the NHS getting more money than it asked for? Her medical team may write up her case in a journal, saying it could influence the way other patients are treated. However, Mrs Sheppard is running out of money for the treatment and is trying to raise more through crowdfunding. "The treatment has never been tested for my type of cancer, so essentially I've paid to experiment on myself," she said. "I had a huge tumour on my neck that was like a golf ball sticking out, but I got up one morning and the tumour had just gone. "I've had a fantastic response to it but the money is running out, and it's a life or death situation." Immunotherapy uses the body's own immune system to fight off cancer. Our immune system is like a police force, protecting us from diseases. Normally our immune system spots and destroys faulty cells - like cancer ones - but sometimes these can escape detection and develop into tumours. Instead of targeting the cancer cells themselves, as many traditional cancer drugs do, immunotherapy reawakens the immune system so it can "remember" the cancer and stop it in its tracks. A number of immunotherapy treatments are already showing considerable promise. Mrs Sheppard, who lives in Nottinghamshire, was diagnosed with small cell gastric cancer - a very rare and aggressive type - in November 2015. She said her first thoughts were for her young daughters, who were aged three, eight and 14 at the time. She had chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the NHS but started researching other options when she became increasingly ill. She is now being treated by Leaders in Oncology Care (the LOC), a specialist cancer treatment centre in London. Jane Lynch, senior lung clinical nurse specialist and respiratory service lead, said Mrs Sheppard was "weeks or short months" away from death when she came to the LOC in October. "You could see the tumour was growing on her neck and she was really unwell with it; she could barely get out of the chair," said Ms Lynch. "She was unable to look after her children and she needed help with everyday life. "She was tearful and she was ready to pack it all in, she felt so unwell. She had no quality of life. "She had nothing to lose and everything to gain." She is being treated by Professor Justin Stebbing and has had six courses of the immunotherapy drug - called nivolumab - so far, costing approximately £5,000 to £6,000 every two weeks. "The difference since she's been on immunotherapy, there's no comparison," said Ms Lynch. "She has gained energy and the last time I saw her she was like a little firebomb; she could talk for England. "There is no doubt in our minds that the immunotherapy has had a good clinical effect." Small cell cancer is usually associated with the lungs, and it is very rare to have small cell gastric cancer, like Mrs Sheppard has. "She's a complete anomaly because we've never treated a gastric small cell cancer patient with immunotherapy before," said Ms Lynch. "We would consider writing up her case in a medical journal if there is a continued response. "What goes on here could change our view of how we think of immunotherapy for other unusual or rare cancers." However, she stressed not all cancer patients would respond to the drug and it was not a miracle cure. "We haven't got enough data to say immunotherapy is a cure; we are saying it's a long-term control for certain diseases," she said. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) issues guidance on whether people should have automatic right to a treatment their doctor says they need. It has recommended nivolumab for use in some types of cancer, but said it had not been asked to look at nivolumab for small cell gastric cancer. "Before we issue final guidance local bodies make their own decisions about whether to fund a treatment," Nice said in a statement. Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which has treated Mrs Sheppard locally, has been asked to comment. The protesters, who have been trying to oust the government for six months, are moving their camp close to parliament and say they will act themselves if the Senate does not. Last week a court removed PM Yingluck Shinawatra and several ministers. But a caretaker administration from her ruling party remains in place and says it is working towards polls in July. Thailand has seen months of deadlock since the protest campaign began in November. On Sunday regional bloc Asean called for a peaceful resolution to the crisis "through dialogue and in full respect of democratic principles and rule of law". Over the weekend both pro and anti-government groups rallied in Bangkok, raising fears of violence. Why Thailand is in political turmoil Thailand has faced a power struggle since Ms Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted by the military as prime minister in a 2006 coup. Mr Thaksin and his family are hated by an urban and middle-class elite who accuse them of corruption and abuse of power. But Mr Thaksin's policies won him huge support in rural areas, and both the elections since the coup have returned Thaksin-allied governments to power. The current anti-government protesters want to replace Ms Yingluck's administration with an unelected "people's council" to reform the political system. Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban over the weekend called on the Senate to consult the presidents of Thailand's top courts and the Election Commission and appoint a new prime minister. The Senate is due to hold a special meeting on Monday on the crisis. It remains the only functioning part of parliament after February's snap general election - which the ruling party was expected to win - was disrupted by protesters and subsequently annulled. Government supporters have warned that any move to replace the current caretaker administration - and its new Prime Minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan - could trigger violence. They are already angered by a court decision last week to remove Ms Yingluck over what it called the illegal transfer of her security chief. Ms Yingluck's supporters accuse the courts of bias, pointing to previous rulings that have removed Thaksin-allied governments from power. What remains of Ms Yingluck's administration says it will continue to work towards holding a fresh general election on 20 July. He smiled as he held the red box aloft in Downing Street, knowing that inside his Budget speech painted a better picture of the public finances than had been previously predicted. In the House of Commons, his first sentence from the despatch box described an economy that had "confounded commentators" with its "robust growth". But despite the chancellor's confident demeanour through a speech littered with jokes and jibes at Labour, this was a Budget steeped in caution. Borrowing figures were better than expected, but the UK still has a hefty deficit, so true to his nickname "spreadsheet Phil" wasn't prepared to splash the cash. He brushed off the suggestion that lower borrowing made the case for more spending and spoke of the need for responsibility. He might have relaxed the rules set by his predecessor around eliminating the deficit, but Mr Hammond made the case for balancing the books and placing the economy on a "strong and stable" platform ahead of Brexit. The UK's impending departure from the EU was barely mentioned, but undoubtedly shaped this Budget. With Brexit negotiations approaching, the chancellor was keen to keep any financial flexibility to one side in preparation for the uncertainty ahead. Giveaways were followed by takeaways; measures to help businesses facing hefty rate rises preceded a rise in National Insurance contributions for the self-employed. There were echoes of George Osborne when the chancellor spoke of the need for a strong economy in order to improve the lot of ordinary working people, as the prime minister has long promised. But while his speech was heavy on rhetoric, it wasn't packed full of announcements compared to budgets of the past. Mr Hammond's self-imposed economic restraint was designed to reassure, but Labour called it complacent, criticising the lack of investment in key public services or measures to raise living standards. And while the government wants to portray confidence about the Brexit process, the chancellor's caution shows he's not entirely convinced there won't be some bumps in the road. Well, that's what we've all been told. But some scientists argue this is all a myth - and that just because we keep repeating it doesn't make it true. So should we bother with breakfast? Studies repeatedly show that skipping breakfast is more common in people who are overweight or obese. But this could be a dangerous trap - when the number of ice cream sales goes up so does the number of people getting sunburn. It doesn't mean ice-cream is causing sunburn. This association might be down to something special about brekkie - or maybe the type of people who eat it are generally more active, have a better overall diet or try to lead healthier lives. Despite advocating breakfast as part of a healthy lifestyle, a report by the UK's National Obesity Observatory concluded that "it is not clear whether there is a causal relationship with Body Mass Index (weight) or whether breakfast is merely a marker for other lifestyle factors that can contribute to healthy body weight". The few clinical trials that have actively altered people's eating habits also showed no impact on waistlines. The biggest, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, told 300 overweight or obese people to skip or eat breakfast for four months. "There was absolutely no difference whatsoever in the amount of weight-loss," said Prof David Allison, who conducted that trial at the University of Alabama. "With respect to weight, at least in adults, it looks like we're leaning towards it [breakfast] being a myth." He says people who are skipping breakfast are probably just trying to control their own weight. And one danger for skippers who start having breakfast is it could lead to weight gain, if they don't eat less later in the day. So is government advice plain wrong? In Prof Allison's opinion: "If they are advising it [breakfast] for weight control then at this point it is not a justified recommendation." Dr Alison Tedstone is from one of the many organisations around the world that tells us breakfast is a good thing, and she points to studies showing people who skip breakfast tend to be bigger, which we already know is an association. But Dr Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, agrees that the "evidence is by no means conclusive on having breakfast". However, she says it is the easiest meal of the day to get right, that skipping it risks snacking on something unhealthy later on and that it can be a struggle to get the right balance of nutrients without starting the day well. "It's an easy meal to get a healthy meal, it's an easy meal to get control over." There is no such thing as a perfect breakfast, but Dr Tedstone advises people to "think fibre" in the mornings. "Overall we're not getting enough fibre in our diet and it's easy to incorporate fibre into breakfast. "Take porridge - it's cheap, it's cheerful," she said. As well as porridge, high fibre breakfasts include fruit, wholegrain toast and some breakfast cereals. But some of the more palatable high-fibre cereals can be loaded with added salt and sugar. Prof Susan Jebb, a nutrition scientist at the University of Oxford says: "It is very difficult, I think breakfast cereals are very challenging." She says it's necessary to check the labels as some have less added sugar and that fresh, stewed or dried fruit could be used to make it more palatable. "I'd encourage people to have a piece of fruit with breakfast - much better to have fruit than fruit juice as then you get the fibre from the intact fruit." NHS: Healthy Breakfasts The other big case made for breakfast is that it improves children's performance in school. A study in 2015 by the University of Cardiff was the latest to show an association between a healthy breakfast and educational performance in the classroom. These studies are now coming in for the same criticism as those that found a link between breakfast and weight. "It seems very plausible that missing breakfast as a kid is just a marker of a poor home background - that family is unable to provide breakfast for a child - which is probably the cause of them not performing well at school," argues Prof David Rogers at the University of Bristol. So how do we make sense of all this? Prof Jebb argues: "If you're currently eating breakfast I think you should make it the healthiest breakfast you can. "If you're a breakfast skipper, I'm certainly not going to say you must eat breakfast, but I would encourage you to think about it." While Prof Allison suggests people who are worried about their weight should give both eating and skipping breakfast a go to see what works best for them - just make sure you're not snacking on sausage rolls by 11:00. The science behind the benefits of breakfast does not support the absolute vehemence with which it is advocated, at least in adults. That said I'm still going to have my bowl of breakfast cereal. It is a good start to the day for me personally otherwise I'm distractingly hungry. I might even try chucking in a bit of extra fruit. Follow James on Twitter.

Bowel Cancer UK says conducting more tests sooner would help as it is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in the UK. In Wales, a national bowel screening programme aims to reduce the number of bowel cancer deaths by 15% by 2020. The Welsh government is spending an extra £4m to improve diagnostic tests. The charity's report said the situation in Wales was "particularly poor" with 15% of patients waiting between eight and 14 weeks, and 26% waiting over 14 weeks for a colonoscopy, an internal bowel examination, when they are suspected to have problem. A Welsh government spokesman said: "Nine out of ten patients newly diagnosed with cancer via the urgent suspected cancer route start treatment with in our 62 day target. This includes having diagnostic tests. "When talking about general diagnostic waits, that exclude cancer, the eight week wait for specified diagnostic waiting times in Wales is a target which we expect to be met and sustained as a standard. "To achieve this we have recently given health boards an extra £4m to improve diagnostic tests in Wales. We expect to see significant improvement over the next few months." The charity also highlighted data from a national colonoscopy audit which it says showed the rate of colonoscopies conducted in Welsh health units fell "woefully short" of the UK average of 32.2 procedures per 100,000 of population with a figure of 23.3 in Wales compared to 46.8 in Scotland. In Wales, a national bowel screening programme offers a test kit to men and women aged between 60 and 74 to help with early diagnosis of any problems. Public Health Wales runs the Bowel Screening Wales service in line with other national programmes, including Breast Test Wales and Cervical Screening Wales. The Bowel Cancer UK report, Right test, right time, says people across the UK are waiting significant lengths of time between being referred and having their test. It says figures for England show less than 2% waiting more than the recommended waiting time whereas in Scotland performance has dropped, with 6.8% waiting longer than the recommended six week waiting time target. The health service in Northern Ireland had not met its target of no patient waiting more than nine weeks, according to the Bowel Cancer UK report. They are part of a network of criminals who used malware to hack into 41 First Commercial Bank machines in three different cities in July last year. CCTV showed offenders walking away with bags of cash, though most of the money was recovered shortly afterwards. Police in Thailand believe the case is linked to a similar theft there. Latvian Andrejs Peregudovs, Mihail Colibaba from Romania and Niklae Penkov from Moldova were all convicted by a Taipei court of causing damage to the public by breaching computer security. Prosecutors had sought 12-year jail terms, saying the actions "seriously disrupted financial order and caused public panic". In response to the heist, banks temporarily froze withdrawals from more than 1,000 cash machines. Another 19 suspects, including one French national and one Australian, are believed to have fled the country. Ulrik Nielsen, 57, from Gentofte in Denmark, and Alex Beech, 44, from Hull, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud at Inner London Crown Court. A third man, Andronicos Sideras, 54, of Southgate, north London, denied the same charge and is due to stand trial at the same court on 3 July. The alleged offence is said to have taken place between 1 January and 31 October 2012. The men were accused of dishonestly arranging for beef and horsemeat to be combined for sale as beef to be sold in the UK's meat industry. Nielsen and Beech will both be sentenced after the trial. Keighley Cougars player Jones, 29, died of a suspected cardiac arrest after collapsing in a League 1 game at London Skolars on Sunday. Briers says he has been "inundated" by messages from other former Wales colleagues over Jones' death. "We can't get our heads around it. It's crazy," Briers told BBC Radio Wales. Jones made 12 Wales appearances, the last against the Cook Islands in the 2013 World Cup, at which ex-Warrington and Wales star Briers was assistant coach to Iestyn Harris. Wales were winless at that tournament and Briers says Jones' presence helped maintain morale among the squad. "It's just something you'd never think would happen in this day and age. Everybody's just in shock," he said. "Danny was genuinely one of the best people you'll ever meet and I'm not just saying that because he's passed. "He was the funniest bloke in camp. He kept all our spirits high and it needed to be at times in the World Cup. "I feel so sorry for his family, for his young twins and for his wife. It's just devastating." Keighley have announced they are retiring Jones' number six jersey in his memory. Former Wales coach Clive Griffiths was also among those to pay tribute to Jones.

But, like any season in this fascinating sport, there was plenty going on around Hamilton to keep interest as high as ever. So as the year draws to a close, let's have a look back at the good, the bad and the ugly of F1 2015. After clinching his second title at the final race of 2014, Hamilton came out of the blocks flying at the start of the year. He had tidied up everything that was weak last year, when he was very unstable in qualifying, and was so strong at the beginning of this season. He nailed qualifying and then delivered in the races. Hamilton romped away with the year, and it was only when he had won the title that he lifted off a little in my opinion that team-mate Nico Rosberg got himself in a better place mentally and got on terms. Media playback is not supported on this device I'm pretty certain the reason Hamilton could do that was because the weight and pressure of expectation had been lifted off his shoulders by finally winning his second title, six years after his first. Hamilton came very close to winning the championship in his debut season in 2007, did win it in his second but then had to deal with a series of disappointments. He was still fast, but on track the McLaren was not as good as the Red Bull or often reliable enough, and off track he fell out with his dad and the authorities. It looked like he had fallen out of love with so many parts of the sport and his life. Those things are not easy to deal with. He needed to go to Mercedes to find himself - and he did that in Abu Dhabi 2014. All that pressure of "will I win another title?" was gone. On the other side of the garage, that fight also took a lot of energy out of Rosberg. Hamilton put a lot of effort into making sure he won the title again in 2015. The intensity was very high, and that's probably why he lifted off the throttle a bit when he did. The world champions re-wrote records this season. They led 86% of all laps. They equalled their own record of 16 wins and that of 18 poles held jointly with Red Bull. They set all-time records for 12 one-twos, 31 podium finishes, most points and the highest percentage of points in a season. Last year, they built a car that had no equal, and this year they optimised it further. Media playback is not supported on this device Red Bull got close in terms of aerodynamics, but the Mercedes was still mechanically better than any other car and had a consistency and reliability no other car had. The team's only real area of weakness was operationally, when they out-thought themselves on occasions. An example was when they messed up the strategy on Hamilton's car and lost him the race in Monaco. There will likely be something of a changing of the guard in F1 at the end of 2016. Kimi Raikkonen is on a one-year deal at Ferrari. Jenson Button's McLaren contract runs out. Both are into their late 30s. Fernando Alonso is also pretty disgruntled, although his McLaren contract lasts until the end of 2017 and he is more than likely to stick that out - and possibly do another there or somewhere else, too. Meanwhile, the next generation is announcing itself. We have already discussed the highly impressive Toro Rosso pairing of Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz. But there was also Sauber's Felipe Nasr, who made an impressive debut in Melbourne did a pretty good job through to the end of the season in not the easiest of cars with zero development. And of course there was Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull. It's easy to forget, but the Russian was in only his second season and he was thrown in at the deep end alongside Daniel Ricciardo following Sebastian Vettel's switch to Ferrari. Ricciardo had his feet nicely under the table after effectively seeing Vettel off. Kvyat was under massive pressure - and Red Bull's motorsport boss Helmut Marko applies it with a purpose, to see if his young drivers have what it takes to handle life at the sharp end. But after a shaky start Kvyat, in an admittedly difficult car, came on strong and ended the season with more points than Ricciardo. Not before time, but Ferrari bounced back after a dreadful season in 2014. They had so many changes - they got rid of two team bosses, and long-time president of Luca Di Montezemolo, Alonso left, engineering director Pat Fry and several other senior figures were sacked and James Allison has not been there long in his role as technical director. They started the season saying they would win two or three races and they did exactly what they promised and kept Mercedes honest more often than expected. Their weak point remains qualifying. But, as we saw in Malaysia, if they can get among the Mercedes on the grid, they can race among them, too. Everyone was pleased that, after skirting with oblivion over the winter, Manor made it into 2015. But to see them sitting in the garage in Australia with no hope of going out was a big disappointment - for them as well as everyone else, because of the effort they had made to get there. At that point, they were looking unlikely to make it halfway through the year. But team principal John Booth and sporting director and president Graeme Lowdon, both real racers, did a good job to make it to the end of the year - only to leave the team. Owner Stephen Fitzpatrick now has to replace them and move on into 2016, which will be no easy task. It was a big disappointment to go to the final race with the only thing up for grabs being the destiny of fourth place in the championship between Raikkonen and Williams's Valtteri Bottas. No wonder the viewing figures were down a bit. I'm no advocate of double points, the controversial one-off introduction for 2014, but at least it was something to talk about. Most importantly, that situation was evidence of the over-predictability of the 2015 season, which F1 could do without next year. From a fourth consecutive title double in 2013, to three wins in 2014, to a couple of podium finishes this year; Red Bull have fallen a long way. A lot of that was down to Renault's failure to improve their engine, so if anything it went backwards relative to the competition. At the same time, though, the Red Bull chassis was also found wanting for the first time in six years - at least until a mid-season upgrade, Their disappearance only made it easier for Mercedes to dominate and unfortunately at this stage it is hard to see them doing any better in 2016, with Renault still working on improving their engine department. The main controversy of the season was off-track not on it, with constant arguments about the engine rules. F1 is two years into an engine regulation and it needs new companies coming in. That is never going to happen while the rules are changing, because big companies need stability. They don't want the risk of their investment being negated by another set of rules. I'm not saying the engine rules are necessarily right or wrong, but teams should not be rubbishing them in public. Germany is one of the longest-serving races on the calendar, and it did not happen in 2015 because of financial problems at the Nurburgring - which is one of the world's most iconic and historic circuits. Germany has the world champion team, a four-time champion driver and a title contender, yet they did not have a race. Bizarrely, though, the Nurburgring did host a World Endurance Championship race weekend - which attracted 62,000 spectators. So the interest is there. But in F1 the cost is too high - and that's because the sanctioning fee is too high. Races all over the world are struggling for the same reason - the Italian Grand Prix, another historic event, is also under threat, as is the very popular US race in Austin, Texas. And yet instead F1 goes to new countries with no culture of the sport - such as Korea, India and Azerbaijan - which all too easily disappear once they realise they cannot afford it either. The sport badly needs to look at that. Money troubles - of one kind or another Sauber found itself in a very unpleasant situation at the first race of the season. Having signed four drivers for two seats, they were taken to court during the race weekend by one of the drivers who was under contract - Giedo Van Der Garde. As an ex-driver, I found Sauber's behaviour very hard to stomach. They found themselves in that situation because they needed the money each driver brought when they signed them to survive. But ultimately, they had to pay off Van Der Garde. It was a very expensive mistake - and it cost the Dutchman any chance of sitting in an F1 car again. This situation was a very public illustration of the financial plight of the smaller teams. This resulted in a number of them needing advances on their prize money to see them through the winter - and a complaint by two teams to the European Union about anti-competitive practices in F1. There was too much washing of dirty laundry in public. That went for the dispute over engines, as well as Red Bull rowing with Renault and conducting a very public search for a replacement - which failed. I prefer to solve problems behind closed doors. Obviously that can't always happen, but there were too many little grenades flying around in 2015. McLaren-Honda's travails were depressing for everyone to see - not just those directly involved. It's easy to point the finger at Honda, and ultimately its engine was the biggest performance deficit. But McLaren courted Honda, got into bed with them and they decided on the packaging of the car and engine together. And that 'size zero' car was at least partly the cause of the problems. The image in my head when I think of McLaren-Honda is Ayrton Senna winning the world championship, not two of the best drivers in the world struggling to take a team to ninth overall. There needs to be change. The good thing is both parties seem to understand that now; the only question is how long it will be before they can do anything about it. Lotus's situation was very much ugly for most of 2015. The team, which won four world titles as Benetton and Renault, was on its last legs, with the owners putting in as little money as possible as they sought to finalise a sale to Renault. There were a series of unfortunate moments, including bailiffs in attendance as Romain Grosjean scored the team's only podium in Belgium. But finally, as the season ended, the Renault buy-out was confirmed. And as someone who drove for that team in both its previous guises and knows how much quality still remains there, I am very happy about that. And until relatively recently, that's just about all it was - a round-the-world secondment to focus the mind, sharpen the skills and strengthen the lungs for the fifteen-a-side game. Not to mention fortify the liver at the booze-ups for which the circuit is notorious. For the audience, it was frenetic, but fleeting entertainment. The domain of the super-fit and the super-fast. Bite-sized matches, bursting with chaos and flair, but fading away with the ensuing hangover. No longer, though, is sevens rugby's also-ran. Since booking its berth in Rio, representing the sport on the Olympic stage for the first time in 92 years, the abbreviated game is booming. Piloting Team GB in Brazil is Simon Amor, for years a World Series veteran for England, and now their head coach. Amor's intention was to fill his boots with Six Nations heavyweights but the intricacies of international regulations and the physical pummelling wrought on these players over the season forced a rethink. His squad is peppered with the Englishmen he knows and trusts, captained by Tom Mitchell. There are two Welshmen and two Scots. One of them, Mark Bennett, is the sole player befitting so-called marquee status. The other, Mark Robertson, is a full-time sevens international. On that front, perhaps, there is a collective stab of regret. Consider, for instance, a Team GB bristling with the ballast of Welsh winger, George North, the twinkling feet of England's Jack Nowell, or the swagger of Stuart Hogg, Scotland's rapier. But the leap from fifteens to sevens has claimed several major casualties - Springbok Bryan Habana, third on the all-time list of Test try-scorers, and Australian playmaker Quade Cooper were both deemed surplus to requirements for Rio. "I think that shows how advanced sevens is as a game, and the conditioning the sevens guys have gone through to get to that level," says Gregor. "The top fifteens players, you would expect, could just cruise into a sevens team. Ideally for his training squad, Simon Amor would've liked a few more high-profile guys. "But it would've been difficult to drop them in at the end of May, have a six or eight week training period, and be up to speed for the Olympics. "It is a disappointment - what you hope is, the Olympics makes some superstars out of the sevens players in their own right, so you don't need to rely on fifteens guys to get more appeal or publicity." Gregor reckons the Scottish operation he helped mould as unpaid devotee, canny playmaker and eventually veteran skipper could use a little more TLC, a few extra players to jostle for selection - there's a feeling in the squad, he says, that if you're fit, you'll play. The Scottish Rugby Union only instated a full-time enterprise in 2011 and considered revoking that status last year when Glasgow was discarded as a World Series venue. While the enthralling maiden Series victory in London two months ago may have reddened a face or two in the Murrayfield corridors of power, it failed to move Amor sufficiently to alter his selection. Gregor's disappointment for former team-mates is overshadowed by a gnawing concern at the broader complexion of Team GB. "I thought Scotland were the form home nation at the tail-end of the World Series," he says. "All the feedback from training from people I've spoken to, the Scottish guys all acquitted themselves very well. "It's basically come down to Simon Amor going with what he knows, and even if players aren't playing well, he's thought, well, I know they can play well, and he's backing them on that element of trust. "He's gone with a lot of individuals - I don't think there's a lot of glue. That's where someone like (Scotland stalwart) Scott Riddell would come in, because he would facilitate others. "You need to have these X-factor players, but you can't have all of them, you need a blend." Sevens is faster than the fifteen-a-side format. More tries are scored; more 'wow' moments. By and large, it removes the perplexing maelstrom of rucks and mauls and scrummages that can baffle even the most seasoned observers. Fewer international disparities exist - teams like Kenya, Canada and the USA are regularly successful even against the illustrious heartlands of the game. Sevens is proliferating across the world, gobbling up athletes from all manner of backgrounds. Sprinters, netballers, American footballers - they're all pursuing their Olympic dreams on the rugby pitch in Rio. Now the game is the beneficiary of huge global exposure. So, could what was once a lager-sodden sideshow one day upstage its storied big brother as rugby's main event? "You've got two different markets," considers Gregor. "You've got the traditional rugby strongholds - New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Britain, France - then you've got the rest of the world. "It's far easier for a team to become successful at sevens than fifteens - mainly around how technical a game it is, and to get all that expertise takes a number of years and a lot of resources. "Whereas if you've got a group of fit individuals that you can up-skill a bit, that you can get working as a team, then you've got not far off the basis of a successful sevens team. "It then depends on what World Rugby wants: do they want the traditional fifteen-a-side game that's dominated by a fairly small number of countries, or do they want this proper, international, all-action, anyone-can-win-a-tournament kind of game? "I think for rugby to grow worldwide, sevens is the way to do it. The way the world is now, everything's about shorter times, it's about being immediately engaged. "The problem with sevens is, days are too long - you can't have an eight-hour day for a tournament, you need to whittle that right down, so you've got fifteen-minute games, but you're only there for a couple of hours each day. "If they can find a package like that, I think that's the one that will really take off." Stephen Connolly was speaking to BBC Northern Ireland's The View programme about the academic selection process. Last week, Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster said she thought that a single test for secondary schools could be developed this year. However, Mr Connolly said that would be "impossible." "The registration process has been going on for the last month," he said. "The schools have been preparing their children, so to turn around and say that 'we're now going to have a single test and it'll be different' would simply be impossible." "We couldn't do that." Most grammar schools have been using unregulated tests to select pupils since 2008, when the 11-plus exam was scrapped by the Department of Education. There are two testing systems - GL Assessment exams are mostly used by Catholic schools, while AQE exams are mostly used by controlled schools. Attempts by AQE and the Post-Primary Transfer Consortium (PPTC), which runs the GL tests, to create a common transfer test have so far failed. The two bodies have not been able to find agreement on how the test should be paid for and what format it should take. Mr Connolly said that, even if those differences could be overcome, it would take at least three years to create a common test. "If we work hard to reach agreement on those important issues, particularly the issue of funding, then we've got to put together a test which is agreeable to both of us," he said. "Then we're going to have to trial it in some way, provide past papers, give information to schools. "Two years would be too tight a timetable, so I think we're looking at least - and I stress at least - three years. "It's not going to be straightforward," Mr Connolly added. The View will be broadcast on BBC One Northern Ireland at 22:45 BST on Thursday 2 June. The agency is taking the 60,000 sq ft 'Maxim 6' building on a 20-year lease. The move will allow Sepa to run several of its operations under one roof. Maxim park was saved from financial collapse only a few months ago by the sale of Lloyds Banking Group debt to an American private equity investor. The debt restructuring involved Cerberus Capital Management, a New York-based investment house. The park, which offers 750,000 sq ft of office and retail space across 10 buildings on a prominent site by the M8 motorway, opened in 2007 but has secured few tenants until now. David Gebbie, from commercial property asset managers Arisaig Property Partners, said the recent financial restructuring of Maxim had allowed Sepa and Maxim to achieve a leasing deal that previously could not have been achieved. He added: "Both Maxim and Sepa have economically benefited from a review of the original terms without impacting the actual net present value of the lease. "The news is a great boost for Maxim and the Lanarkshire area." Sepa will relocate 350 staff to the office, including 200 from East Kilbride - where they are closing down two neighbouring offices - and others from Stirling and Perth as well as scientific staff from Edinburgh. Sepa's headquarters will remain in Stirling. Sepa chief executive Campbell Gemmell commented: "I am extremely pleased to be able to announce that Sepa has secured an excellent new facility, which will not only mean more efficient and effective environmental protection for Scotland, but which also provides better value for money for the taxpayer. "It will provide the operational base for our regulatory teams for west central Scotland, an excellent working environment for several related national functions and a brand new, first class laboratory facility." The South Korean sank seven birdies on the final day, finishing six under par with a round of 66. Her compatriot Hur Mi-jung and Australian Karrie Webb, who had a share of the lead after day three, were joint second on five under. "It was really good practice for the British Open and I'll take a lot of confidence from this win," said Lee. "The first and second round, I hit them really well, I just missed a lot of putts. "I made a lot of putts yesterday so I took a lot of confidence from that." Webb's eagle putt on the 15th looked to be decisive. Leading until the final two holes, she bogeyed on the 16th and double-bogeyed on the 17th, dropping her lead. An eagle putt was needed on the final hole to force the tournament into a play-off - but after shooting into the bunker, Webb could not regain her composure. Hur coped well in windy conditions to card seven birdies and a round of 66. Carly Booth was top performing Scot of the tournament. The 2012 winner finished five over par with a final round of 73. The 25-year-old, who carded two bogeys in her final round, was disheartened with her performance. "I've just struggled this week," she said. "I'm looking forward to next week. I'm playing well, I just need to sort my putting out. "I've always struggled on these greens every year. I find them very hard to read. When your confidence isn't up with it, that doesn't help either." Two-time tournament winner Catriona Matthew finished 10 over par after a round of 74. She struggled on the fourth with a double bogey and finished with a bogey on the 17th and the upcoming Solheim Cup vice-captain hopes to improve on her performance at the Women's British Open at Kingsbarns next week. "It's not a typical links, but a nice course," said Matthew. "I'm looking forward to it. [My game] feels pretty good, I need to sharpen up the short game and the putting." The raid on the St Giles News Plus shop - in the St Giles Terrace area - took place at about 07:45. A man brandishing a weapon demanded money from a shop assistant but fled empty-handed. Police believe the man may have been in the vicinity of the Co-op on St Boswells Terrace a short time before the alleged incident. The suspect is described as white, mid-20s in age, approximately 5'9" in height, slim build, wearing a large black jacket, dark coloured dress trousers and dark dress shoes. The man had a local Dundee accent. Residents in Staylittle have accused BT Openreach of not responding quickly. Openreach said engineers are trying to fix the fault which was caused by a thunderstorm. Other problems with phone lines in the area over recent years include people being able to hear the conversations of neighbours on their own lines. Resident Alwena Pugh told BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad programme, her husband has an autoimmune disease and is receiving chemotherapy at Morriston hospital in Swansea. "His consultant is away for a month on holiday and he'd said that all the blood test results would be given over the telephone which is obviously frustrating because our phone sounds like it's ringing - apparently it goes into answering machine," she said. "I'm sure we've got I don't know how many messages once it comes back on but we're obviously not getting them." She added: "I'm a carer for an elderly disabled lady. If she happens to have a fall at the night or morning or whenever she needs me she has no contact to get hold of me." Openreach said the thunderstorm damaged parts of the local network which has affected landlines serving Staylittle. A spokesman added: "The fault was reported on Monday 24 August and one of our engineers attended on the following day to investigate. "We would like to thank the local residents for their patience and reassure them that we're working hard to resolve the matter and hope to restore full service to those that have been affected later this week." Media playback is not supported on this device James Keatings scored twice in the opening 13 minutes. The Sons steadied themselves but fell further behind to a Kevin Cawley own goal and Anthony Stokes' late strike. Alan Stubbs' side remain in third spot in the table as Falkirk have a three-goal advantage going into the final league games on Sunday. The home side came flying out of the traps and were one up after only seven minutes. Stokes and Fraser Fyvie combined to set up Keatings, who had started ahead of rested top scorer Jason Cumming, and he thundered a shot into the roof of the net from the angle of the 18-yard box. Hibs were denied a second when a Liam Henderson free-kick was parried away by Jamie Ewings, but the Dumbarton goalkeeper was helpless when the lead was doubled after 13 minutes. A Niklas Gunnarsson effort was blocked, but the Norwegian hammered the rebound across goal, where Keatings was waiting to tap the ball home. Henderson and Stokes both came close to adding to the tally for rampant Hibs, while Scottish Cup hero Conrad Logan, given his chance in goal, did well to keep out a Calum Waters effort in a rare attack by the visitors. Gunnarson missed a glorious chance for number three when he had a clear sight of goal from six yards out. Dumbarton looked better in the early stages of the second half, but there was a real let-off for Stephen Aitken's side when Martin Boyle fired the ball across the six-yard box. With the goal gaping, on-loan Celtic striker Stokes fired straight at Ewings and the chance was gone. Stokes almost made amends with a free-kick from 22 yards out, but Ewings produced a fine save. With 15 minutes left, the home side scored a third thanks to a fair slice of good fortune. Keatings chased the ball down the left, was challenged by Kevin Cawley and the Sons striker's block soared over his own goalkeeper and into the net. As the home side laid siege, Ewings once again denied Stokes and Lewis Stevenson cracked a shot off the post after Boyle was also denied by the goalkeeper. However, the scoring was completed in stoppage time when Stokes reacted first after Ewings had saved a Paul Hanlon header. The battle for second continues on Sunday when Hibs host Queen of the South, while Falkirk entertain Greenock Morton. The prime minister is facing questions about the UK's support for the Saudi-led coalition which is fighting rebels in neighbouring Yemen. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said UK-made weapons were contributing to a "humanitarian catastrophe". But the PM said the UK was also a "significant donor" of aid. Speaking to journalists as she travelled to Jordan, which she is visiting before travelling to Saudi Arabia, Mrs May said humanitarian aid was one of the issues she would be discussing on her trip. She also defended the drive to strike new trade links, saying the UK had "long-term and historic relationships" with Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The countries, she said, were "important for us in terms of security, they are importance for us in terms of defence and yes, in terms of trade. "But as I said when I came to the Gulf at the end of last year, Gulf security is our security and Gulf prosperity is our prosperity." Asked about women's rights in Saudi Arabia, where - among other restrictions - women are not allowed to drive, she pointed to the changes promised as part of its Vision 2030 programme, adding: "I hope also that people see me as a woman leader will see what women can achieve and how women can be in significant positions." Vision 2030's goals included increasing women's participation in the workforce from 22% to 30%. She added: "I've talked to the Saudis on a number of occasions and raised issues of this sort. We have already seen some changes. "One of the meetings I'm going to be having when I'm in Saudi will be with a female minister. I'll be meeting with her and talking to her about the role that she plays. And generally we do encourage people to look at women's role in society." Mr Corbyn called for the immediate suspension of UK arms exports to Saudi Arabia. He criticised the "dictatorial Saudi monarchy's shocking human rights record" and said the PM should focus on human rights and international law at the centre of her talks. "The Saudi-led coalition bombing in Yemen, backed by the British government, has left thousands dead, 21 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and three million refugees uprooted from their homes," he said. "Yemen urgently needs a ceasefire, a political settlement, and food aid, not more bombing. "British-made weapons are being used in a war which has caused a humanitarian catastrophe." As part of her visit, Mrs May is also setting out details of how a £1bn package to support victims of the fighting in Syria will be spent. Downing Street said £840m announced last year and an extra £160m of new money would provide support for refugees and countries hosting them, including Jordan. The investment will ensure refugees do not "feel forced to make the perilous and potentially life-threatening journey to Europe", Number 10 said. It includes investment in education, skills and jobs. Mrs May also announced that the UK will send military trainers to Jordan to help the country's air force in the fight against so-called Islamic State. Jack Karl Thomas Williams, of Rhyl, is also charged with causing the woman grievous bodily harm with intent. The incident is alleged to have happened at Pensarn beach, Abergele, in the early hours of Saturday. Williams appeared before Llandudno magistrates and was remanded in custody. His next appearance will be before Caernarfon Crown Court next month. Ryan McDonald, 20, of no fixed address, will appear at Manchester City Magistrates' Court on Monday. He will appear alongside Anthony Smith, 20, also of no fixed abode, who is charged with assisting an offender. Two people were allegedly sprung from custody on 30 April as the van made its way to court from a prison in Merseyside. Three other men appeared in court last week in connection with the alleged ambush. Stevie McMullen, 31, appeared at Manchester Crown Court charged with escaping lawful custody and was remanded in custody. Two other men are charged with assisting an offender. Mr McDonald was arrested during a raid on a house in Ordsall, Salford on Friday while Mr McMullen was arrested on 4 May after police stopped a car on the A6 near Lancaster University in Lancashire. Floodwater gouged out ground beneath Spencer Court, Newburn, on Tuesday, exposing the piles holding it up and badly damaging foundations. Residents attending a public meeting reacted angrily to the news the flats might have to be pulled down. On Thursday two further blocks of council flats were evacuated amid fears Spencer Court could collapse. By Peter HarrisLook North At a heated public meeting residents were shocked to be told the Spencer Court flats in Newburn are set to be demolished. An engineer working for Northumberland Estates said an inspection this afternoon revealed they are likely to be beyond saving. However, the homeowners said that was the first they had heard of demolition plans. The mood in the meeting at Walbottle School hall became increasingly tense as locals vented anger at having worthless houses. They suggested homes should never have been built there. Residents of Hareside Walk and Hareside Close had been allowed home but were asked to leave again. Housing company Your Homes Newcastle - which manages council housing for Newcastle City Council - said it took the decision in the interests of residents' safety. Mick Murphy, technical director at Newcastle City Council, said after the meeting: "Engineers assessments say that it's unsafe and probably unsafe to try and repair." Kate Scaife, who lives in Spencer Court, said: "To find out in a public meeting was shocking. To everybody else it's bricks and mortar, but to us it's home and it hurts." Caroline Charlton, who lives in Mill Vale, said: "There's a lot of upset people and for us poor residents we're going to be stuck in the middle of a long legal battle between landowners. "Who would want to buy our houses? They're lovely homes but who would take the risk? I certainly wouldn't." Paul Nicholson, also lives in Mill Vale, he said: "We've had enough upheaval over the last few months, we need to walk away from this now because I've got a five-year-old and a one-year-old and I don't feel that it's safe anymore." A culvert near the damaged flats collapsed in May but the force of floodwater on Monday eroded soil and a waterfall formed close to the flats. Developer Dunelm Homes owns the land on which the homes stand, while the culvert is on land owned by Northumberland Estates. Neither company has accepted liability. Northumberland Estates said it was working hard to find a long-term solution but said there was little it could do "in the face of such very extreme weather conditions until the culvert can be cleared". Dunelm Homes said it was attending emergency meetings and providing whatever assistance and support it could. Mr Murphy said the flats at Spencer Court were "extremely unstable". Engineers for Northumberland Estates told the public meeting an inspection had been carried out and the report was expected to confirm the flats are beyond saving. Greg Blyth, a resident of Spencer Court, said earlier: "I don't think they should have built on this ground. "The whole place needs knocking down because it's very, very unsafe and it's a matter of time before everything does go." Newcastle City Council, which said planning permission had been given because the plans were right for the ground, is looking at how well the culvert was maintained. Mr Murphy added: "You can build in most places as long as you take the right engineering steps. An engineer has taken account of poor ground because they've used those long piles." Northumbria Police made the decision to evacuate the area on Tuesday after what the Met Office called the most intense September storms for 30 years. Residents of Mill Vale were allowed back in for a short time to collect valuables on Wednesday. The Portuguese, 46, has taken over at Ibrox after signing a three-year contract. "They need to spend some money to bring in better players to try to bridge the gap," said Johnston, who played for both Celtic and Rangers. "It's a huge gap, how many points is it at the top of the championship, 33?" Defending champions Celtic are within two wins of a sixth straight top-flight title while Rangers, who won promotion last season, trail second-placed Aberdeen by eight points with 10 games to play. While Johnston, 53, says Caixinha's appointment is a risk, the former Scotland striker believes the manager's three-year spell in Mexico with Santos Laguna will help him as he adjusts to the demands of Scottish football. "It's a big gamble, [Caixinha] doesn't really know much about Scottish football," said Johnston, who lives in the United States and previously managed New York Red Bulls and Toronto. "I don't think you can prepare yourself for the Old Firm. "He was in Mexico - which is very similar to Major League Soccer - for three years, [and] he won three trophies. "I don't think you can compare the MLS and Mexico to the Premiership [because the] MLS is a little bit better. "He's a good coach, but he needs investment, that's all he needs." Johnston expected Rangers to lose on their visit to Celtic Park on Sunday and says the Ibrox side will take plenty of belief from their hard-fought performance for when the two sides meet again in April's William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final. "It was a great draw, because they're so far behind in the Premiership," Johnston added. "They'll take a lot [of confidence from it]. "When I was coming back [to the UK], you're thinking Celtic are going to run away with it, but the game was a little bit different. Rangers played well in the last 20 and deserved the draw. "You need a strong Rangers for Scottish football to survive. Celtic are running away with it right now." Merry Hill House and Nelson Mandela House are the last remaining homes run by Wolverhampton City Council. The decision to close them as part of a plan to save £134 million over five years was made at Wednesday's cabinet meeting. Jessie Bunce, 86, who lives at Merry Hill House is "absolutely devastated" said a family friend. Paul Tunney said: "Her daughter [is devastated] as well - they are both supporting and consoling one another. As yet we don't know where she is going to go." More on this story and updates from Birmingham & Black Country The Woden Resource Centre, a day care facility in Wolverhampton will also be shut as part of the plan. Council leader Roger Lawrence described the closures as "unpalatable" but "unavoidable" due to government cuts. Councillor Elias Mattu, cabinet member for adults, said: "I do not want any specific timescale set until we have spoken with all of the residents and their relatives." The pole, thought to be at least six decades old, was recently found at St John's Church in Higham. It will be used in a traditional may fair folk dance in the village later. Maypole dancing was once an annual event around England but the tradition has faded in many places. The pole's discovery prompted teachers at St John's Church of England Primary School to teach pupils maypole dances. Deputy head teacher Dominic O'Neill said he hoped it would be "something we could continue". "I think it's really, really important because it goes back to the essence of village, school, community and church," he said. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Brian Sutcliffe, who found the pole and has helped organise the dances, said it had "decades of dust on it" when he happened across it. "Finding it after all these years of being abandoned, I was quite enthusiastic in renovating it and it's now going to relive its purpose," he said. The restoration has included the pole being repainted and having new bright coloured ribbons attached. The dances will mark the last day of the Higham Exhibition, a seasonal arts and craft fair and farmers market which has been running for the last 46 years.

Exports fell 3.1% in June from a year earlier, indicating weak global demand for Chinese goods. Most analysts had expected a 4% increase in shipments. Imports fell 0.7% from a year ago, showing a subdued domestic demand. China, the world's second-largest economy, has been keen to rebalance its economy, after a decline in global demand hurt its export-led growth. China's economy grew at an annual pace of 7.7% in the January to March quarter, compared with 7.9% in the previous three months. Analysts say second-quarter GDP figures, due to be released on Monday, are likely to show a further slowdown, as demand in key export markets in the US and Europe remains weak. At the same time, policymakers have found it tough to boost domestic consumption enough to offset a decline in foreign sales. By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service Economics correspondent This is more hard evidence that China's economy is slowing down. It comes less than 24 hours after the IMF lowered its global growth forecast, partly because China and other emerging economies haven't grown as robustly as they expected. One of the reasons the IMF mentioned was slower growth in demand overseas, which was firmly underlined by the Chinese export data. For Chinese exporters and their suppliers - many of them outside the country - it will be uncomfortable. But China's leadership does have a long-term aim of reducing the economy's reliance on exports and investment as a driver of growth, as well as a bigger role for consumers at home. It's a path that the IMF and many of China's trade partners have urged it to follow. Perhaps it's under way. But as the new figures show, it won't be easy to manage smoothly. Analysts said the surprise fall in exports and imports in June indicated that China's economic growth was likely to remain under pressure in the coming months. "We expect both export and import data may remain at a relatively low level in the second half, due to weak demand at home and abroad," said Wang Jin, an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities in Shanghai. Various organisations, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, have recently cut their outlook for China's growth. Chinese export data had shown positive signs of a gradual recovery in external demand in recent months. However, that had not been in line with data from other regional countries - which have been showing a slowdown in their export growth. That triggered speculation that some Chinese exporters may be overstating their shipments in an attempt to bypass restrictions on bringing funds into the country. Prompted by these concerns, Chinese authorities, who keep a tight grip on capital flows in and out of country, have announced steps to control any illegal flows. In May, China's foreign exchange regulator, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), said it would increase its scrutiny of export invoices and impose tougher penalties on firms providing false data. Analysts said that the weaker-than-expected figures in June were partially because of the crackdown on such practices. "Both exports and imports are weaker than market consensus, partially a result of Beijing's crackdown on speculative capital inflows disguised as trade," said Wang Jin. "From this sense, we can say last month's export figure may reflect a true picture of the current trade situation." 16 February 2017 Last updated at 06:53 GMT These are massive tubes which use powerful magnets and radio waves to produce a images of inside the body.

The group were jeered during a performance in Birmingham city centre on Saturday. West Midlands Police said it will review CCTV of the event after receiving a complaint. The BBC has contacted the dancers, from Alvechurch in Worcestershire, for comment. More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country Supt Andy Parsons said: "We have received one complaint regarding verbal abuse and threats made to someone linked to the dance group. "No complaints have been made about the Morris dancing performance itself. " Mr Parsons added officers would also be speaking to witnesses to "understand exactly what happened" and determine if any offences were committed. The issue has sparked numerous comments on social media, with many people voicing support for the dancers. Among those was Bromsgrove MP, Sajid Javid, who said Morris dancers were "as racist as I am". The use of black face make-up by Morris dancers has made headlines before after Shrewsbury Folk Festival banned the practice after receiving complaints. However, supporters say the practice dates back centuries and is not linked to race. The 51-year-old, who has managed Celtic and the Jamaica national team, has not had a coaching job since being fired by Tranmere in October 2009. "A white manager loses his job and gets another job, he loses his job, he gets another job," Barnes said. "Very few black managers can lose their job and get another job." Barnes told ITV documentary John Barnes: Sports Life Stories: "What I can judge it from is by looking at society. How many black people are there in the higher echelons of any industry? We can talk about journalism, we can talk about politics. So why should football be any different?" There are currently six managers from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds employed by English football's 92 league clubs: Chris Ramsey (QPR), Chris Powell (Huddersfield), Chris Hughton (Brighton), Fabio Liverani (Leyton Orient), Keith Curle (Carlisle) and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (Burton). In March last year, former Newcastle, Birmingham and Norwich boss Hughton was the only black manager in England's top five divisions. The Football League, under the guidance of chairman Greg Clarke, is conducting a review into how it can increase the numbers of BME coaches and managers among its member clubs. Clarke has been criticised by the Professional Footballers' Association for his failure to keep a promise to hold a vote at the Football League's 2013 annual general meeting on a proposal to conduct a trial of a version of the NFL's Rooney Rule. Last September, PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor voiced his belief that football has a "hidden resistance" preventing black managers getting jobs. The Football Association has also set itself a new target to boost diversity within all levels of the game, while the Premier League recently said it wanted to see "more and better" coaches "who can progress to the highest levels of the game on merit and regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or background". From the beginning of the year, boats had to start landing unwanted fish which were caught in their nets. Incidents of throwing dead fish back into the sea had increased due to EU quotas on which fish could be landed. UK Fisheries Minister George Eustice has unveiled the chance to bank or borrow quotas. Mr Eustice said: "If we want a profitable fishing industry and thriving coastal communities in the future it is vital that we fish sustainably today. "That is why the reforms we have secured to the Common Fisheries Policy, which will put an end to the shameful practice of throwing perfectly good fish overboard, are so important. "It is essential that we ban the practice of discarding fish, but we are also committed to introducing new flexibilities to help fishermen manage their quotas." Bertie Armstrong, chief Executive of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation (SFF), said the measures were welcome, but warned there was still a lot of hard negotiating to be done. Scottish Fisheries Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "No-one wants to see dead fish being thrown back into the sea - least of all our fishermen. "That's why we are working closely with the industry to ensure the discard ban is implemented effectively and proportionately in Scotland, and to help make sure fishermen are fully prepared. "We published a consultation paper in June about the allocation of the 'discard transfer' - the additional quota that fishermen will receive when the landing obligation commences for each species. We will announce the outcome of that soon." The ban came into force in January for species such as herring and mackerel, and takes effect next January for species including haddock. Mr Assange said he had been in touch with lawyers for Mr Snowden, who fled to Hong Kong before the scandal broke. Iceland's PM said "informal discussions" had been held with an intermediary of the ex-CIA contractor. But Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson said Mr Snowden, 29, would need to be in Iceland to apply for asylum. Mr Snowden, who most recently worked as a contract computer technician for the National Security Agency (NSA), the US electronic spying agency, has vowed to fight any extradition attempts by the US. The US has yet to file a formal request for his extradition from the Chinese territory. The leaks, published in a series of articles this month in The Guardian and Washington Post newspapers, revealed that US agencies had systematically gathered vast amounts of phone and web data. "We are in touch with Mr Snowden's legal team and have been, are involved, in the process of brokering his asylum in Iceland," said Mr Assange in a conference call from the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where he himself is fighting extradition to Sweden. On Monday, Mr Snowden said US officials had destroyed any possibility of a fair trial by labelling him a traitor. "The US government, just as they did with other whistleblowers, immediately and predictably destroyed any possibility of a fair trial at home, openly declaring me guilty of treason," he wrote in a live online chat. Former Vice-President Dick Cheney and two influential members of the US Congress have accused the leaker of betraying his country. Mr Snowden's father has also urged his son not to commit "treason", using a US TV interview this week to urge him to come home and "face justice". NSA Director Gen Keith Alexander told Congress on Wednesday that surveillance programmes leaked by Mr Snowden had helped thwart 50 attacks since 2001. Plans to attack the New York Stock Exchange were among 10 plots targeting the US that had been stopped, Mr Alexander told the intelligence committee of the House of Representatives, adding that the snooping operations were critical. Julian Assange walked into the Ecuadorean embassy in London on 19 June 2012 when his appeal against extradition to Sweden for questioning on accusations of sex crimes was turned down. He has always denied the accusations, and said on Wednesday he would stay in the embassy even if they were dropped, as he still feared being sent to the US for releasing secret documents. Wikileaks made headlines around the world in 2010 after it released more than 250,000 leaked US diplomatic cables. Officers were called to Lavender Grove, Pentrebane, at about 11:20 BST, close to Ysgol Coed-y-Gof, Pentrebane and Holy Family Primary schools. South Wales Police said it was aware of reports of a "possible abduction", but that no-one had been reported missing. On Thursday evening, the force said it was satisfied "no offences took place". Earlier on Thursday, young children who reported an incident to teachers were interviewed by officers, who carried out door-to-door inquiries and made CCTV and vehicle checks. The force helicopter was also involved in a search of the area. Ch Insp Joe Jones said he was aware of the concern the reports had caused so close to the three schools and a nursery. "I am satisfied it is unlikely that any criminal offences have been committed," he said. Before the end of the school day, Pentrebane Primary†The Finn set the fastest time of testing so far on day three in Barcelona - and set three laps that were as fast as any Mercedes have done. Raikkonen's lap was 0.408 seconds quicker than Felipe Massa, with Nico Hulkenberg third. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was fifth, behind Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen. Raikkonen started the day doing a couple of laps with the car fitted with a prototype version of the 'halo' head protection system that will be introduced in 2017. Listen to 5 live F1's season preview show (21:00 GMT) It is notoriously difficult to get an accurate reading of performance in testing because there are so many variables and the teams do not reveal the specification in which the cars run. And comparisons are made even more difficult because different teams find different performance margins between the types of tyre - and their figures do not necessarily match those of supplier Pirelli. Raikkonen and Force India's Hulkenberg used the ultra-soft tyre and Williams driver Massa the soft, which is about a second slower. Raikkonen set a time on the soft tyre that was almost identical to one Rosberg managed on the first day of the test on Tuesday. But track conditions vary so the two times cannot necessarily be directly compared. It was another troubled day for the new US-based Haas team. After losing the best part of two days at the start of the test to engine trouble, Romain Grosjean had two off-track incidents on Thursday. He blamed the first on brake-balance issues. There has not as yet been any explanation for the second, when he again appeared to lose control under braking. The first race of the season is in Australia on 18-20 March. Fastest times 1 Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Ferrari 1:22.785 2 Felipe Massa (Brz) Williams 1:23.193 3 Nico Hulkenberg (Ger) Force India 1:23.251 4 Max Verstappen (Ned) Toro Rosso 1:23.382 5 Nico Rosberg (Ger) Mercedes 1:24.126 6 Felipe Nasr (Brz) Sauber 1:24.768 7 Fernando Alonso (Spa) McLaren 1:24.870 8 Pascal Wehrlein (Ger) Manor 1:24.913 9 Daniil Kvyat (Rus) Red Bull 1:25.141 10 Jolyon Palmer (GB) Renault 1:26.224 11 Lewis Hamilton (GB) Mercedes 1:26.488 12 Romain Grosjean (Fra) Haas 1:27.196 Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Verstappen and Wehrlein set their best times on the ultra-soft tyre; Alonso on the super-soft; Massa, Nasr, Kvyat and Palmer on the soft and the rest on the medium Only two Scots - Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour - were selected in Warren Gatland's 41-man squad for the summer trip to New Zealand. Glasgow boss Gregor Townsend and Scotland attack coach Jason O'Halloran both turned down Lions roles. "Because there was no Scottish voice, I think they lost out," O'Driscoll said. "You have to have someone pushing your name forward in those very, very tight selections. There was no Scottish coach in the selection meetings batting for any Scotland players." Head coach Gatland, who is on a break from leading Wales to take charge of the Lions, included 12 members of the Welsh squad that finished fifth in this year's Six Nations and were beaten by Scotland at Murrayfield. O'Driscoll, who earned a place on four successive Lions tours - but was unexpectedly dropped by Gatland for the decisive third Test against Australia in 2013 - is not surprised the New Zealander has trusted those he knows. "I'm not shocked at that at all," the former Ireland centre told BBC Sport. "You see it the world over. "We've seen it in Ireland for the first couple of years of Joe Schmidt's tenure as Ireland coach. He went, time and time again in the 50-50 decisions, back to the Leinster players that he knew well, knew the personalities, that had done a job for him." Gatland has insisted player nationalities did not influence the selection of the squad, which also features 16 England players and 11 from the Ireland squad. "I didn't realise the split in the numbers," he said this week. "We put together a group of players in each position we felt were in contention and then we went through and individually selected those players." O'Driscoll, 38, captained the Lions on their last visit to New Zealand in 2005, but his involvement in the tour was curtailed by injury less than two minutes into the first Test. He warns facing the back-to-back world champions on their own patch is the toughest task in rugby, but believes the Lions can upset the odds. "They need their best players out on the park, they need to make sure they don't have a big injury toll to some of their key players," he added. "It's not a three-Test tour down there, it's like playing 10 Test matches against New Zealand opposition. They're fighting for their lives, they're fighting for history, to be remembered as the side that beat the Lions. "It's the most difficult place to go and play, and that's before you come up against the mighty All Blacks, so you need a lot of things to go your way. You need a little bit of luck, you need a very good gameplan, and you need everyone playing on form, and then you've got a chance, such is the difficulty of playing down there. "I definitely think they can win a Test match, and if they can win one, they can squeeze a second one. There's no doubt the All Blacks are strong favourites to win the series, but you don't think it's a foregone conclusion." Michael O'Kane was suspended from his post in September while an internal investigation was carried out. The tabloid published pictures of the duchess and Prince William sunbathing on a private holiday in France. Media tycoon Richard Desmond, whose Northern and Shell group co-owns the paper, had threatened to shut it down. The Dublin-based Irish Daily Star said in a statement: "As a result of the publication on 15 September 2012, issues arose with the shareholders of Independent Star Limited. "Having considered those issues in tandem with Mr O'Kane, it is Mr O'Kane's decision to resign as editor of the Irish Daily Star, effective immediately." Northern and Shell group co-owns the newspaper with the Irish-based Independent News and Media. Independent News and Media said Mr O'Kane acted at all times in a highly professional and appropriate manner and in the best interests of the newspaper. He followed all editorial policies and guidelines, it added. Both co-owners had criticised the decision of Mr O'Kane to publish the pictures, although Independent News and Media said closing down the title would be disproportionate. The Irish Daily Star re-published the photographs in September after they appeared in French celebrity gossip magazine Closer. The pictures were used by publications in France, Italy, the Irish Republic, Sweden and Denmark. No British newspaper has printed them. They did not feature in the Northern Ireland edition of the Irish Daily Star. The life-size sculptures, known as the "kneeling attendants", had been displayed at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for nearly 20 years. The museum pledged to return the artefacts after evidence suggested they had been illegally exported. A ceremony was held at Phnom Penh airport to welcome them back. Cambodian officials hailed the return journey of the sandstone sculptures as a "historic" moment for the country. Buddhist monks chanted blessings during the ceremony, which was attended by government officials as well as executives from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The statues are believed to have been stolen from the Koh Ker temple 80km (50 miles) north-east of Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple complex in the early 1970s at the height of the country's civil war. The museum announced its decision to return the statues in May after extensive consultations with the Cambodian authorities. "The museum is committed to applying rigorous provenance standards not only to new acquisitions, but to the study of works long in its collections in an ongoing effort to learn as much as possible about ownership history," museum director Thomas P Campbell said in a statement at the time. The Cambodian government is also pursuing other artefacts it believes were illegally removed the country in recent decades. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has returned artefacts to Phnom Penh before - in 1997 it sent back a 10th Century Shiva's head it had been given. Lawyers were asked to write a letter on his behalf after Chesterfield High School ended his employment in 2011. A tribunal ruled Mr Anderson was unfairly dismissed from a senior learning mentor role, but questioned the mayor's use of council lawyers. Both Mr Anderson and Liverpool City Council have refused to comment. In his written ruling, handed down on Tuesday, Judge Daniel Serota said a solicitor for Liverpool City Council wrote to Simon Penney, head teacher of the school in Sefton, in 2012 "raising several questions". He said: "It is unclear to me why the legal department of Liverpool should have been acting on behalf of the Claimant in his private capacity." Councillor Richard Kemp, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Liverpool, told BBC Radio Merseyside: "There is a clear distinction between the work of mayors and councillors - when we should be supported by the legal departments for what we do - and those things we do in other employment or personal capacities. "I think it's an error of judgement by the council's legal department to get involved in this issue at all. "In some ways the cost doesn't matter, it's the principle of this that matters." During the tribunal, held in London in November, the judge said Mr Anderson started work at the school in 2001 when it was under local authority control. He stopped working there when he became Liverpool City Council leader five years ago. The local authority which then controlled the school - Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council - had agreed that he could continue as a staff member under legislation which allows employees to hold public office. After it became an academy in 2011, though, the tribunal heard Mr Anderson was told his employment "arrangement" was "inequitable". Bosses said pupils were getting "no benefit" for the £4,500 a year paid to Mr Anderson and so "terminated the agreement". Mr Anderson maintains his contract was terminated six weeks before his 55th birthday, which significantly affected his pension rights. BBC News understands the council's legal department only wrote an initial letter, and that Mr Anderson obtained subsequent advice privately. His appeal was dismissed, with the judge ruling he was not entitled to compensation. The council is considering plans to close Gwernyfed and Brecon high schools and replace them with a £50m education campus in Brecon. Under the plans, Welsh-medium education would be provided at a bilingual school in mid Powys, currently Builth Wells High School. The measures are to address falling school rolls and financial pressures. Shia Muslim politicians have been calling for Thamer al-Sabhan to be withdrawn. He has said Iranian-backed Shia militia are aggravating tensions with Sunni Muslims in Iraq. He also allegedly accused the militia of trying to assassinate him. Saudi Arabia and Iraq are longstanding regional rivals. The Saudi embassy in Baghdad only reopened in December after being closed since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait more than 25 years ago. Iraq's Shia community was angered by Saudi Arabia's execution in January of dissident Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr. The Premier League club are in the US capital Washington preparing for their second pre-season game at United Soccer League side Richmond Kickers on Sunday. But Rangel has described how road closures for the president's motorcade made the players late for training. "I'm sure managers have heard some great excuses over the years," he said. "I don't think anyone has ever blamed American President Barack Obama. Well we did - and it was genuine. "With our hotel a short distance from the White House, they closed all the roads in the vicinity for an hour because Obama was due to return from official business. "At first we thought they had closed the roads off because chairman Huw Jenkins had arrived - but it was only the American President!" right back Rangel told the Swansea City website. Swansea won their first pre-season game at Charlotte Independence 4-0 and striker Andre Ayew could return for the visit to Richmond, 110 miles south of Washington, following an extended summer break after helping Ghana qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The social media firm reported a net income rise of 11% to $891m (£579m) in July to September, compared with $806m in the same period last year. Facebook also reported that developing markets had seen strong growth in the number of users. Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg said the company was "focused on innovating and investing for the long term". The world's largest social media site reported 60 million new monthly active users in the third quarter, bringing its global users to 1.55 billion. A growth in monthly active users means a potentially larger audience for advertisers using Facebook. Ad revenue was key to Facebook's third-quarter performance, growing 45% to $4.3bn (£2.8bn). Investors have been looking to see how Facebook's increasing emphasis on video would pay off. Facebook reported eight billion video views per day from 500 million people, compared with four billion views in April. In addition, the company has said it wants to increase advertising revenue from Instagram and Whatsapp in the past, but investors have been anxious to see specific plans. The firm did not disclose Instagram's ad sales figures. But the app is expected to bring in $595m in mobile ad revenues this year, research firm eMarketer said. Facebook's website and Instagram photo-sharing app, which opened up its platform to all advertisers in the third quarter, account for more than one in five minutes spent on mobile devices in the US, chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg said. Facebook was also looking to show strong growth in its mobile user numbers, with mobile popular in developing countries. The number of mobile daily users was up 27% in September to 894 million. Accrington are one of the form teams in League Two, having extended their streak without defeat to 10 games. McCartan scored an 89th minute free-kick to earn a 1-1 draw with Grimsby, and the 22-year-old is confident John Coleman's side can keep it going over the remaining eight fixtures. "We don't fear anybody now," he said. "That's the mentality we have." McCartan has been a major part of Stanley's improvement, having scored eight goals in his last 13 league matches to help them move up to 15th place. They are yet to lose at home in 2017, but despite being safe from relegation and 10 points outside the play-offs, McCartan thinks they have plenty of motivation for the rest of the season. He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "To not lose in 10 games is a great achievement, especially considering the position we were in six weeks ago. It shows how strong the lads are mentally, but we've got to keep it going. "We can go unbeaten until the end of the season, 100 per cent. We've played most of the big boys. We've got Plymouth coming up, but we know we can beat them. "That's our mentality. As the gaffer said after the Morecambe game, we're a team of winners now."

The 21-year-old completed his move after the Lurgan Blues hammered Ballymena 6-1 on Saturday to go top of the standings on goal difference. "He excites me - young, talented and can play on either wing or up front," said Glenavon boss Gary Hamilton. "He's got pace, he's got energy. Josh is good at taking people on and making things happen in the final third." Daniels came through the Candystripes reserve team and earned his first professional contract with Derry in 2013. "Josh fits the bill of what we're looking for, we're trying to bring young players in and get a hungry squad," Hamilton told the club website. "We have to thank Derry as well. Josh was looking away to get game time, to play football and, to be fair they've been very, very good with him. "We've come to an agreement in terms of if we ever sell him on they'll get a percentage of it so it works for everybody. "He's just excited to get involved but he knows himself he has to wait his chance because the boys are flying at the moment but hopefully we'll have another good young footballer on our hands." Lines were closed after a "major signalling problem" affected level crossings throughout the region. Network Rail warned passengers that trains may still be cancelled or delayed until the end of Saturday even though the the "issue" had been fixed. The rail authority apologised on twitter for the disruption. It comes as commuters faced disruption as rail upgrade began between south Wales, Bristol Parkway and London Paddington on Saturday. They partied outside Wrigley Field stadium after the Curse of the Billy Goat - supposedly placed on the Cubs by a disgruntled fan - was finally lifted. The team's decades in the wilderness had become the stuff of legend. In the 1989 film Back to the Future II, a 2015 World Series win for the Chicago team was dubbed a "long shot". That long shot came one step closer on Saturday when the Cubs beat the Dodgers in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. They will now meet the American League champions, the Cleveland Indians, for the first game of the World Series on Tuesday. Most of the fans celebrated peacefully, with many taking selfies in front of the stadium, but one person was arrested after climbing a traffic pole, and several others were detained after letting off fireworks. The win is a boost for a city with a more sombre reputation in recent years, overtaking Los Angeles and New York in terms of gang murders. "My grandpa's been alive for so long, and he's never experienced this," Adam Lewickas, 31, told AFP news agency. "You've seen tears here tonight," said fellow Chicagoan Anthony Madrano, 43. "You've seen people just so emotional about it." On social media, people jokingly thanked President Barack Obama, a former Illinois senator who lived and worked in Chicago, for gifting the city a Cubs breakthrough "on his watch". The Cubs had not won a World Series since 1908 but had some near-misses up until 1945. In that fateful year, tavern owner William Sianis and his pet goat were turned away from Game 4 of the World Series because other fans had complained about the smell. Sianis is said to have cursed the Cubs, so that they would never win a World Series game again, or even reach the World Series again (different versions of the story exist). As the city celebrated this weekend, Chicago Tribune columnist David Haugh wrote: "The weight is lifted. The wait is over, at last." The ex-Rangers manager is the 10th appointment made by owner Fawaz Al Hasawi in less than five years. Forest are just two points clear of the Championship relegation zone. "The size, quality, expectation and tradition of the club must excite you," Warburton told BBC Nottingham Sport. "I know there is a job to be done but there is no doubt about the potential here. Our job is to add some stability." Warburton, 54, who has been out of work since leaving Rangers on 10 February, insisted he was "comfortable" with the assurances he has been given by the owners at the City Ground despite the ongoing upheaval. Al Hasawi has twice tried to sell the club since last summer, but Warburton said he was not put off by the uncertainty and owner's reputation for sacking managers. "You take everything into consideration," he added. "It's a pleasure and privilege to be here. "You have to take risks; you can't always play safe - far from it. I'm confident we are moving forward and we have the support from the board we need to have." Warburton is eager to see Gary Brazil, who had been in interim charge, remain at the club. Academy director Brazil and academy coach Jack Lester have both mulling over offers to revert to their roles with the youth set-up, which has seen players like Ben Brereton, Matty Cash, Ben Osborn, Joe Worrall and Oliver Burke progress into the first team. Warburton met Brazil and Lester on Thursday morning and was "hopeful" they would stay on. "They have done tremendous work in the academy," Warburton added. "Academies exist to get players into the first-team squad and you look at the first-team squad and they have done a very good job. There is no doubt about that. "They stepped into a difficult role and I am full of respect for the work they did. "I had a good chat with them this morning after meeting them for the first time. I look forward to them hopefully continuing the work in the academy. I was delighted with the chat. The quality of the work was there for all to see." The future of Brazil and Lester will be handled by Forest's new director of football Frank McParland, who Mark Warburton has worked with at both Brentford and Rangers Warburton was thrilled to have a familiar face in such an "important" role. "I have known Frank very well over a number of years," Warburton said. "I have watched him work, have watched the quality of his work, the quality of his recruitment, his eye for a player and his knowledge of football clubs so I am full of respect for him. "He is an outstanding individual - one of the best in the business. "Frank coming in early gave us a real insight into where the club was, the players and the staff. That really helped us. It was a very swift decision, but was helped by the fact Frank was here first." Forest are 19th in the Championship, having lost five of their past seven matches, and face fierce local rivals Derby County at home on Saturday. The Rams also have a new manager in charge, meaning it will be the fifth consecutive East Midlands derby with a different manager in charge of both clubs. Warburton said: "These are the games players must relish and understand the emotions and passion that is involved. We know exactly what it means to supporters. It is a huge game for a number of reasons. "I understand the significance of this game, what it means to people in the area. It is important for the players to get the balance right. "You have to go out and perform and enjoy the pressure. But they must understand what the game means to people." Warburton said his immediate priority was ensuring survival in the second tier of English football. But he is already thinking further afield. "We have to get the club back to where it needs to be in the short, medium and long term," he said. "We need to stay in the division. We have to steady the ship, get the performances in and the points we require on the board then then we need a solid pre-season to try to fine-tune the squad and add quality in key areas. "The Premier League is the promised land and that is where we have to get to. A club of this stature has to be in the Premier League. That has to be a very clear and realistic ambition." BBC Scotland sport reporter Alasdair Lamont Warburton brings a very specific ethos about football and how it should be played. To some extent that was welcomed at Rangers especially as he won the Championship in his first season - the second tier in Scotland. He won that at a canter playing some very attractive football. Rangers played this short passing game and scored a lot of goals. It was very effective and he made a lot of good signings at that level and they were promoted without any fuss whatsoever. The downside of that particular brand of football was that Warburton always said Plan B for me is to do Plan A better. What happened then was when their opponents began to learn how to combat that style of play he wouldn't then knock it long and try a more direct style, which is commendable in some respects. Mark Warburton wouldn't compromise his ethos but ultimately that began to cost him results, especially when he moved up to the the Premiership when they were were coming up against better teams and better organised defences and Rangers found it much more difficult to score this season. I guess that is one of the factors that ultimately cost him his job. The players will, by and large, buy into what he is trying to achieve because it is an exciting brand of football he wants to play and is pleasant on the eye Ultimately it will come down to results and can he keep Nottingham Forest up? It did seem initially he was on to a good thing and Rangers fans really bought into what he was trying to achieve. But things turned sour and some fans turned things like always making substitutions on the hour mark. He has his own way of doing things and will not relish being moved away from that. The 33-year-old Iraq-born stopper spent the 2015-16 season with the Silkmen and made 38 appearances, but moved to the Dragons last summer. Since a spell at Tottenham's academy he has played for nine different clubs including Bournemouth, Peterborough, Morecambe and Bury. He joins recent signings Jared Hodgkiss and Scott Wilson at Moss Rose.

The cancellation announcement came just minutes after the doors opened for the afternoon performance. Fans were later informed by text message that the show would not be going ahead as planned. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, colloquially known as Paddy's Wigwam, will mark its golden jubilee with celebrations starting in May. Events include an anniversary Mass on 4 June celebrated by Crosby-born Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales. More than 350,000 visitors visit the cathedral each year. Other events include a floral tribute, a golden jubilee dinner, and the first performance of a musical piece which was commissioned but not finished in time for the cathedral's consecration in 1967. The long-awaited Liverpool Mass - by electronic music pioneer Pierre Henry - will finally be performed at the Bluecoat arts centre. Canon Anthony O'Brien, Dean of the Cathedral, said: "This will be a very special year in the life of our cathedral as we mark this golden milestone of our history in a building that means so much to so many people." The All Blacks - who have won the last two World Cups - are keenly aware of their whakapapa, the genealogy and lineage linking them back to a century of excellence. But more practical behaviours - from the team cleaning changing rooms to its 'no egos' policy - also underpin the greatest winning machine on the planet. New Zealand were stunned by last Saturday's 24-21 defeat in the second Test, despite the mitigating factor of being down to 14 men for nearly an hour. So what are the qualities the All Blacks will rely on to ensure they confirm their status as the greatest rugby team in the world on Saturday? The All Blacks - New Zealand's national pride and joy - are arguably the most successful sports team in history. It's a grandiose claim, but one their record supports. Over the century since the 1905 Originals first dazzled the British Isles, New Zealand have won an extraordinary 77% of all encounters. Ranked world number one for twice as long as the rest of the world combined, they have only ever been as low as number two. Of the home nations, Scotland have never beaten the All Blacks while Wales last beat them in 1953 - 64 long years ago. They have won the Rugby World Cup three times - and twice in a row - the only team to do so. They currently hold all the silverware it is possible to own in their sport. They are, by any measure, a phenomenon. But last Saturday, they lost. Before Saturday's defeat, the All Blacks had not lost to the Lions since the second Test of 1993. After that match, captain Sean Fitzpatrick shut the locker room door and had his team absorb what "defeat feels like, to really feel it", so that they would do all they could to avoid experiencing it again. Fear of failure, says Fitzpatrick, is a key driver for the All Blacks. After all, the team represent the expectations of the most informed and critical rugby public in the world. They are a nation, as an All Blacks doctor once put it, of "five million selectors". Committed to being the best team in the world and to winning every game, the All Blacks don't have the luxury of losing. In 1993, this fear seemed to work. The All Blacks crushed the Lions 30-13 in the third and deciding Test of the series. Fear of failure, though, is yesterday's sports science. The team's mental skills coach, Gilbert Enoka, is part shrink, part 'stretch', part cultural custodian, and plays an instrumental role in shaping the culture of this team. Rather than the fear of failure, he talks more about "embracing expectations", "walking towards the pressure", and developing "gratitude" for the opportunity. Tests, in the lingua franca of the All Blacks, are opportunities for the players to "express themselves". For the team, it is about creating a positive atmosphere that encourages endeavour and initiative. It wasn't always this emotionally intelligent. In 2004, a disastrous end-of-series team drinking session prompted Graham Henry and his coaching team to reboot the world's most successful sporting culture. Central to that was the phrase, 'Better People Make Better All Blacks' as they sought to develop the character and leadership of the players on the field so that they would make better decisions. There was an emphasis on personal character, initiative and the idea of the team. "It's not just about winning," coach Steve Hansen told the Guardian, "It's about maximising the talent and making sure that in the rest of his life, he has the tools to be a decent person." It worked. From 2004 to 2014, the All Blacks went from a 75% win ratio - already the world's best in any sport - to an extraordinary victory rate of almost 95%. Better people, it seems, finish first. Enoka, as mental skills coach, places special emphasis on building belief and belonging. The team are considered a whanau - the Maori word for family - with an ethos that focuses on connection, contribution, candid communication and clarity of action. Most importantly, players are encouraged to take 'ownership'. In assistant coach Wayne Smith's words, "people will rise to a challenge if it is their challenge". Rather than an autocratic coaching style, this coaching group seek to become a 'resource' for the players. After all, in the end it is the team who must play. Former head coach Henry even had to give up his stirring team talks. By that point, it is the team's team. The emphasis is on creating the environment - physical and psychological - for high performance to happen, which is captured by the equation 'Performance = Capability x Behaviour'. That is, the level of the team's performance is equivalent to their talent, which is multiplied by the way they behave: the way they prepare, the way they connect, the way they communicate, commit, and contribute. Top teams focus on creating the right culture to shape winning behaviours. The All Blacks just seem to do it better than anyone else. Former England boss Sir Clive Woodward talks of T-Cup: Thinking Correctly Under Pressure. The All Blacks talk about Red Heads and Blue Heads. After New Zealand were bundled out by France in the quarter-final of the 2007 World Cup, the team brought in Ceri Evans, a forensic psychologist, who introduced a simple strategy for dealing with pressure: Red Head/Blue Head. Simply put, Red Head is choking. It is a future-focused panic - "we have to score, we have to score!" - which leads to overreaching, poor decision-making, poor task focus. The opposite is Blue Head; being clear and accurate, on task, and in the moment - making sure the mind is in the game. To shift from Red to Blue, players use simple anchors or triggers. All Blacks captain Kieran Read - who will play his 100th Test on Saturday - looks at all four corners of the stadium to regain the 'big picture'. Players are taught to stay in the moment and trust the process. To see the result of that approach, watch their last-minute 24-22 win over Ireland in 2013, when they went nearly the length of the field in a sustained attack after the end of normal time to score the decisive try. There is no room for disruptive influences in the All Blacks set-up. "No egos" is the polite way of putting it. The New Zealand team use a rather more blunt phrase, borrowed from Australian rules football team Sydney Swans - one that cannot be repeated here. Such bluntness does the trick. Head coach Steve Hansen once said: "Take a bucket of water, put your hand in it, now take it out. That's how long it takes to replace you." Disruptive influences do not last long in this environment. As they say: "No one is bigger than the jersey." Maori have a fabulous concept, whakapapa. It is the genealogy, the lineage of a person, a family, a tribe, a team. Deep within the All Blacks' famous haka is the phrase, "this is your time, this is your moment". Every All Black understands he is part of a long lineage and that this is his time to shine, his chance to make his contribution. Every player's fundamental purpose is to "leave the jersey in a better place", on the field and off, and in doing so, to achieve mana - greatness. Protecting and enhancing the legacy of the jersey is the simple idea at the heart of this remarkable outfit. That is why Saturday matters. It will always matter in the history of this team, the whakapapa of this people. James Kerr is the author of Legacy: What The All Blacks Can Teach Us About The Business Of Life. The Grammy-winning rapper has admitted it's her most personal album yet, littered with references to her break-up from boyfriend Safaree Samuels. Now Samuels has broken his silence on their 11-year relationship, revealing he was the one who "walked away". "It got to the point where I was being treated like an employee, instead of like her man," he said. In an interview with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club he told listeners Minaj was his "soul mate" despite the rapper saying she was single on Twitter last May. The pair are understood to have got together when they were in a group called Hoodstars in the early noughties. "We were friends at first and then it turned into a relationship," said Samuels. "The group thing didn't work out and she had the drive to do things herself. I was just there to support her and do what I could." But as Minaj's success rocketed, Samuels says the relationship started to change. "Everyone around her works for her, you know? "So it got to the point where it was like, 'I'm your man. I'm who you go to sleep with every night. I'm who you wake up with every morning.' And it got to the point where I was being treated like an employee, instead of like her man." Then in late December the pair got involved in an argument on Twitter. "I would never do anything publicly to try to pull her down," said Samuels. "I could be out here telling a million stories, but I'm not gonna do that and I never plan on doing that. "Don't say, 'Oh, I don't have no talent' because every time it came to writing raps and doing music, it was me, her and a beat. "She doesn't do it by herself. It was me and her. Don't discredit me on what I've done for you, that's weak. "I would never do that for her." Since the split Minaj has been photographed with hip-hop artist Meek Mill. "If that's who she decides to move on with, it is what it is," said Samuels. "I'm not mad, I'm not bitter because if I wanted to make it work, I could've made it work. "I walked away. I'm not going to say I broke up, but I'm the one who walked away."

Labour accused the Scottish government of creating the "biggest crisis in family doctors for a generation". Health Minister Shona Robison announced £2m worth of funding to improve GP recruitment and retention. The main findings of the The Primary Care Workforce Survey were: The Royal College of General Practioners (RCGP Scotland) said the results showed that 830 extra GPs were now required to bring nationwide coverage levels up to 2009 standards. And Dr Alan McDevitt, chairman of the British Medical Association's (BMA) Scottish GP committee, said the survey "illustrates the extent of the problem currently facing primary care". He warned: "Without commitment to substantial new funding and staff, the general practice we all need and value, may not survive." Dr McDevitt, a GP in Clydebank, said: "General practice is facing some of its toughest challenges, with workload and patient demand at unprecedented levels. "Our members across the country are telling us of the rising pressure they are facing and the difficulties they are having trying to recruit to vacant posts. This is simply not sustainable." Anas Sarwar, Scottish Labour's health spokesman, said the survey showed that Scotland's GP crisis was worsening. "All across Scotland families are losing out because there aren't enough doctors available," he said. "That's simply not good enough. "We can't just have another promise to train more GPs at some point in the future. We have a crisis in GP services now that the SNP health secretary must recognise and address. "This failure is adding further pressure to primary care and also acute services like A&E." The Scottish Conservative's shadow health secretary, Donald Cameron, said: "The Scottish government has been told for many years about the dwindling number of GPs. Yet this report shows these warnings have been ignored. "As a result, patients are paying the price, appointments are hard to come by and those GPs left are feeling overstretched." Health Secretary Shona Robison admitted that there "remain challenges" in recruiting and retaining doctors to general practice. She announced a £2m investment for a series of "innovative" initiatives to tackle the problem. They include the development of a locum pool of retired GPs in Lothian and a recruitment programme led by RCGP Scotland. Ms Robison said: "As the Primary Care Workforce Survey published today shows, there still remain challenges in recruiting and retaining doctors to work in general practice. "While Scotland continues to have the highest number of GPs per patient in the UK, we still need to act now to redesign the way care is provided in the community to ensure these services are sustainable in the future. "That means transforming primary care and GP services - increasing the role that other health professionals play in delivering care and making it much more of a team approach, allowing GPs to focus on those patients specifically in need of their expertise." The military will take "all necessary action" to "put an end to the impunity of insurgents and terrorists" in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe, he said. Mr Jonathan also ordered more troops to be sent to the north-eastern states. Militants from Boko Haram have been blamed for most of the violence, which has left 2,000 people dead since 2010. The Islamist group, whose name means "Western education is forbidden" in the local Hausa language, is fighting to overthrow the government and create an Islamic state in the north. By Will RossBBC News, Lagos President Goodluck Jonathan has declared a state of emergency across an already heavily militarised area of northern Nigeria. This is not the first time he has taken such action following an upsurge in attacks by Islamist militants. The question is whether more troops on the ground will make any difference. Many analysts say the military has been losing the battle for hearts and minds and abuse allegations have helped boost Boko Haram. Attacks have largely been hit-and-run or even suicide missions, but by saying areas have been "taken over by groups whose allegiance was to different flags and ideologies", the president has made the somewhat embarrassing admission that the state no longer controls the entire territory of Nigeria. Mr Jonathan also urged politicians in the affected states to co-operate with the armed forces and the police. This raises the question of what they have been doing. After all, some northern politicians have been accused of backing Boko Haram. Nigeria - a multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people - is also affected by a spate of conflicts over land, religion and oil. In the latest violence, 53 people were killed and 13 villages burnt in central Nigeria's Benue state on Tuesday. The conflict, which started last week, is said to have been caused by a dispute over land ownership between cattle herders and farmers. In a pre-recorded address broadcast on Tuesday, President Jonathan said: "What we are facing is not just militancy or criminality, but a rebellion and insurgency by terrorist groups which pose a very serious threat to national unity and territorial integrity." Referring to recent attacks on government buildings and killings of officials and other civilians, he said that "these actions amount to a declaration of war". "We will hunt them down, we will fish them out, and we will bring them to justice," the president said. "The chief of defence staff has been directed to immediately deploy more troops to these states for more effective internal security operations. "The troops and other security agencies involved in these operations have orders to take all necessary action... to put an end to the impunity of insurgents and terrorists." At the same time, he stressed that - despite the state of emergency - politicians in the three states would remain in their posts. The president has the power to sack local politicians and install a caretaker government in emergency circumstances. "Already, some northern parts of Borno state have been taken over by groups whose allegiance are to different flags than Nigeria's," he said. Later, a spokesman for the president, Doyin Okupe, said the governors of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa had been "very well briefed" and were "in full support" of the decision to declare a state of emergency. "There's a need for the government to step in and do the necessary to once and for all find a way out of this quagmire," he told the BBC. On Monday, the Nigeria Governors' Forum, which represents the leaders of the country's 36 states, warned Mr Jonathan against imposing emergency rule. It is not the first time that the president has declared a state of emergency, but this is a clear admission that far from being weakened by the army offensive, the threat of the Islamist militants is growing, says the BBC's Will Ross in Lagos. And it is the first time that Mr Jonathan has admitted that parts of the country are no longer under central government control, says our correspondent. Last week, Mr Jonathan had to cut short a trip to South Africa to deal with the growing violence. A number of measures are to be brought in to protect the park environment from anti-social behaviour. The plans drew criticism from hillwalkers during a consultation, which drew more than 300 responses. Having won approval from the park board, the plans will now go before Scottish government ministers. The proposals would see four "camping management" areas set up on the busiest loch shores, covering 3.7% of the park's total area, with investment in new official camping facilities, including 300 new camping places. Similar measures were previously put in place at parts of east Loch Lomond, which were described as a "wide-ranging success". Bosses said parts of the park were becoming "severely degraded" by high volumes of campers, with some irresponsible visitors littering, starting fires, cutting down trees and abandoning caravans and campsites. During the consultation, the Mountaineering Council of Scotland and ramblers Scotland voiced "serious concerns", saying the plans would "create immense public confusion". Linda McKay, convener of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority board, said there had been "tremendous support" for the plans. She said: "We appreciate the range of views from many different interests. "However, we believe our duty, first and foremost, is to conserve the environment of this special place for the enjoyment of this, and future, generations. "Conscious of our responsibility to promote access and recreation in the park, the board has sought to take a proportionate approach; introducing a range of measures designed to protect the special characteristics of this designated area of Scotland, while also striving to enhance provision for those who will continue to want to camp." Having won the backing of the board, the proposal is to be sent on to the Scottish ministers for approval. A further opportunity for interested parties to make representations or objections directly to the Scottish government will follow. Police Scotland, the Forestry Commission Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage all responded positively during the consultation. Iain Rennick, area manger for Scottish Natural Heritage, said the group had worked closely with the park board on the proposals. He said: "Together, we're keen to protect the interests and rights of those who wish to exercise responsible access in the park as well as those who live and work there. "We particularly welcome the intention to invest in new camping facilities, as this will ensure that the high demand at peak periods is catered for and a better overall visitor experience is provided." The second-placed Serie A side trailed 5-2 on aggregate when Mouctar Diakhaby headed the French side into the lead on the night. But Kevin Strootman prodded home an immediate equaliser and a Lucas Tousart own goal narrowed the gap but Roma could not find a late strike to take them through on away goals. Edin Dzeko fired a late chance over. Schalke came from 2-0 down, and 3-1 on aggregate, to beat Bundesliga rivals Borussia Monchengladbach on away goals. Andreas Christensen and Mahmoud Dahoud had put Gladbach in control before Leon Goretzka's strike and Nabil Bentaleb's penalty. Ryan Babel scored his first two European goals since 2010 as 10-man Besiktas beat Olympiakos 4-1 in Istanbul, 5-2 on aggregate.

Bertrand Traore and Kasper Dolberg scored as Ajax beat FC Copenhagen 2-0 to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit to progress. Anderlecht beat Apoel Nicosia 1-0 (2-0 on aggregate), while Genk beat fellow Belgians Gent 6-3 on aggregate after a 1-1 second-leg draw.

Blair, Scotland's former captain and most-capped scrum-half, will join the coaching team ahead of the summer tour. He will be joined by assistant coaches Matt Taylor and Dan McFarland, who also work with Townsend at Warriors. "I'm delighted to take on this role with Scotland at an exciting time in the team's development," Blair said. "Being a young coach, I feel very lucky to work with coaches of the calibre of Gregor [Townsend] and Dave [Rennie, the incoming Glasgow Warriors head coach] and hope I can contribute to further successes for both Scotland and Glasgow on the pitch." Townsend takes charge of the Warriors for the final time at Scotstoun against Edinburgh in the last Pro12 game of the season and the second leg of the 1872 Cup. He will then immediately succeed Vern Cotter as Scotland head coach, before naming his squad for the summer tour to Italy, Australia, and Fiji. Blair, who earned 85 caps for his country and toured with the British and Irish Lions in 2009, will join the touring party while retaining his duties and responsibilities to the Warriors outwith the test-match windows. "Mike [Blair] has thrived as a coach since his retirement from playing at the end of last season," said Townsend. "He's proven to be an excellent addition to the Warriors' backroom staff and I'm delighted to bring that expertise into the Scotland set-up. "He will perform a similar role with the national team, which will be focused on three areas: assisting with our attack, improving our skills and also working closely with our group of scrum-halves." Media playback is not supported on this device Islam Slimani ran onto a long ball to flick in the first and a Rafick Halliche header put Algeria 2-0 up. Abdelmoumene Djabou sidefooted in a third, before Song Heung-min's low shot pulled one back as South Korea rallied. Yacine Brahimi added Algeria's fourth and, despite Koo Ja-cheol scoring a second for Korea, Algeria held on for their first World Cup win since 1982. "South Korea were absolutely woeful in the first half. That kind of performance is not acceptable at this level of football and they paid the price. In the second half they freshened it up and looked better but Algeria definitely deserved to win. "In the first half Algeria came out with a really high tempo, they played some nice football and the fourth goal was a really good team goal." Algeria, narrowly beaten by group leaders Belgium in their opening game, knew a second defeat would end their hopes of getting out of the group stage for the first time. They responded in emphatic fashion, becoming the first African team to score four goals in a World Cup game. A win for the Desert Foxes against Russia will now secure a last-16 spot, and a draw could be enough if South Korea fail to beat Belgium. Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic made five changes from the opening defeat by Belgium and his reshuffle had the desired impact. Sofiane Feghouli had a strong shout for a penalty turned down when he appeared to have been tripped by Kim Young-gwon before the ball fell for Brahimi to hook over. Slimani then found space at the far post only to head wide and also badly mistimed a first-time shot from six yards as he met an inviting cross from Aissa Mandi. But the Portugal-based striker, who was his side's top scorer in qualifying, did not take long to atone as he outpaced two defenders to get to a long Carl Medjani pass and flick the ball past on-rushing keeper Jung Sung-ryong. Defender Halliche extended the lead two minutes later with his second goal for his country, a thumping header from an Djabou corner. And Djabou turned from provider to goalscorer when Slimani slipped a ball across for him to sidefoot home. South Korea had not managed a shot on target in the first half but pulled a goal back shortly after the break - a mistake from Madjid Bougherra allowing Song to send a shot through the legs of keeper Rais Mbohli. It was now Algeria's turn to be penned back and they survived a further scare when Ki Sung-yueng had a long range shot palmed over by Mbohli. However, Brahimi restored his side's three-goal advantage when he played a one-two with Feghouli before slotting past Jung. But a much-improved South Korea were not finished, and after the Desert Foxes failed to clear their lines, Lee Keun-ho played the ball across the box for Koo to slot in, before a tiring Algeria managed to regroup and close out the win. Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic: "We played an almost perfect first period. "We played very well, very effectively and then it went down a little bit - maybe it was psychological, maybe it was physical - we will have to talk about this. "But I think that this was a real feat this afternoon and I would like to congratulate my players." South Korea coach Hong Myung-bo: "In the stadium, there were a lot of Korean fans and I would like to apologise to them. "We have one game left and I would just like to promise that we will do our best for the next match." Match ends, South Korea 2, Algeria 4. Second Half ends, South Korea 2, Algeria 4.

The system, set up in 1984, is ending so EU dairy businesses can compete with international rivals in supplying fast-growing markets in Asia and Africa. The Irish Republic, the Netherlands and Germany are all expected to increase production sharply. But UK farmers have said it could lead to further falls in the price they receive for their milk. The European Commission believes the changes will not bring back butter mountains and milk lakes and says China and other international markets are hungry for European farmers' produce. EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Phil Hogan said the ending of quotas was both a challenge and an opportunity for the EU. "It is a challenge because an entire generation of dairy farmers will have to live under completely new circumstances and volatility will surely accompany them along the road," he said. "But it certainly is an opportunity in terms of growth and jobs." The National Farmers' Union (NFU) urged all countries to "act responsibly and collectively" and said the lifting of quotas could mean fresh price falls for English and Welsh farmers, who have operated within the system for the past 15 years. NFU dairy board chairman Rob Harrison said: "With milk prices yet to show any strong signs of recovery, this could push farm gate milk prices down further in the EU and stall any recovery in the dairy markets. "It's vital that expansion in any member state is planned in accordance with available market opportunities." Somerset dairy farmer James Hole said: "All they are going to end up doing is create huge milk pools coming out of Europe. "Long term there will probably have to be another form of capping. I can't see how they can just make it a free-for-all." Northern Ireland Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said dairy farmers there faced a "difficult time" but she was "optimistic about the longer-term prospects... [if] the local dairy industry continues to pursue a market-led strategy with future decisions being taken in the context of input costs and market returns". The EU milk quota system was set up after subsidised European milk production persistently outstripped consumer demand. This led to the so-called milk lakes and butter mountains. From 1984, member states were fined heavily if they produced too much milk. Quotas have been raised steadily in the past seven years in preparation for being lifted altogether. Dairy farmers often struggle with price volatility, and the European Commission says quotas have not made their lives easier in that respect. The prices paid to dairy farmers rose 13% in the first half of 2014, yet the corresponding consumer prices rose 8.4% in Germany, 1.6% in the UK and 0.8% in France. It has taken years of tough negotiations to get to this point - and the Commission says there will still be a safety net for dairy farmers. An EU Milk Market Observatory has been set up to help producers adjust to price fluctuations. Read Laurence's full analysis in the Inside Europe Blog The abolition of the system affects farmers in all 28 EU member states. Belgian and other EU dairy farmers staged a protest in Brussels on Tuesday, fearing the lifting of quotas will drive small farms out of business. They have argued the lifting of quotas helps only big food companies and the largest milk producers, whose efficiency allows them to operate with slim margins. "We're really scared that production is going to explode and we won't be able to pay our costs any more," said Belgian dairy farmer Yvan Deknudt. He said the wholesale price of milk was already 30% lower than the level he needed to break even. German dairy industry association president Karl-Heinz Engel said he was happy quotas were being scrapped. "We're prepared... export-orientated and competitive," he said. Paul Brennan said he held 18-year-old Gary Jones' hand and shouted his name as he was being treated on the pitch. An ex-firefighter also described how a girl, aged "three or four", begged him not to leave her badly injured father. Mr Jones and the girl's father were among the 96 football fans who were fatally injured in the 1989 disaster. Liverpool supporters were caught in the crush after arriving to watch their team play Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final at Sheffield's Hillsborough stadium. Mr Jones, a student who was described as a "very clever young man", travelled to Sheffield on a minibus with 11 others, including Mr Brennan, the jury heard. After police stopped the match, Mr Brennan left his seat in the North Stand and went to look for Mr Jones on the pitch. The jury saw how Mr Jones was lifted out of the Leppings Lane terraces at about 15:26 BST - almost half an hour after the match kicked off. Anthony Hunter, a firefighter who helped carry him, said that he was "limp, but his face was not in agony". He added: "He looked quite peaceful. We laid him on the ground and someone else proceeded to do CPR." Mr Hunter said that he spent "three to four minutes" at the most with Mr Jones, giving him mouth to mouth resuscitation, while somebody else did chest compressions. Another firefighter, David Sweetman, worked on Mr Jones with a man who said he was a doctor, the court heard. Mr Sweetman said they "tried for a long time" but "didn't see any signs of life". BBC News: Profiles of all those who died Mr Brennan was seen in footage walking up to Mr Jones and those giving him first aid at 15:35 BST. He told the court: "I bent down and grabbed hold of his hand, shouted his name. "He seemed to respond with eye movement every time I shouted his name." Mr Brennan said that Mr Jones' eyes were closed but that he could see them moving under the eyelids. He appeared to be unconscious. He helped lift him into an ambulance but said he was not allowed to travel with his cousin to hospital. The court also heard about a second casualty that Mr Hunter treated. He said the man had a "daughter of three or four years with him". He added: "As I stopped doing some work on him, this young girl who was there, was there tugging on my pant legs. "[She said] 'you can't leave my dad, you can't leave my dad, why isn't he moving?'." Mr Hunter also said an ambulance drove over one of the man's feet and the casualty "didn't flinch at all" and "was obviously dead". The ambulance eventually moved after people, shouted, he said. "It's something that stuck in my mind - of all places to park an ambulance." The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, continue. At the end of August IS said Adnani had been killed in Aleppo province. Russia's claim came after the US admitted targeting Adnani but stopped short of confirming his death. Adnani was one of the IS group's most high-profile figures, with a $5m (£3.8m) bounty on his head. Can IS survive killings of its leaders? Islamic State group - the full story Is besieged Aleppo facing last gasp? "The strike near al Bab, Syria, removes from the battlefield ISIL's chief propagandist, recruiter and architect of external terrorist operations," Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said, using an alternative name for IS. "It is one in a series of successful strikes against ISIL leaders, including those responsible for finances and military planning, that make it harder for the group to operate." The August 30 air strike was conducted by a drone, which fired a missile at the car Adnani was travelling in, he said. It is not clear why it has taken the US almost two weeks to confirm Adnani's death. Russia had previously said Adnani was one of up to 40 militants killed in a Su-34 bomber raid on the village of Umm Hawsh, north of Aleppo - a claim Pentagon officials dismissed as a "joke". Adnani - who was also the group's spokesman - was "martyred while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo", IS-linked Amaq news agency said, without giving details about how he died. One of the group's founder members, Adnani was born Taha Sobhi Falaha in the northern Syrian town of Banash in 1977. In June 2014, he formally declared the establishment of the IS caliphate stretching across parts of Syria and Iraq under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The US said he had "co-ordinated the movement of Isil [IS] fighters, directly encouraged lone-wolf attacks on civilians and members of the military and actively recruited" new members. Earlier this year, he called for attacks during Ramadan, with followers carrying out the Orlando nightclub shooting, the truck attack in the French city of Nice and a massive suicide bombing in Baghdad. Police said the lead rider in the group of nine dodged the carcass but other cyclists clipped it, then hit an oncoming vehicle. A man, reportedly in his 50s, was freed from beneath the vehicle. He was flown to Melbourne's Alfred Hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition. The crash happened near Shepparton, which is located about 200km from Melbourne. Shepparton police told local media their inquiries would consider whether the rising sun made the kangaroo carcass difficult to see. Butland was due to feature for the Potters' Under-23 side in Friday's Premier League Cup tie at Reading. But he pulled out after feeling pain in the warm-up and was sent for a new MRI scan on Saturday. "It's a little bit of a concern, I have to say," said Hughes. Speaking after Saturday's 2-0 Premier League home win over Burnley, Hughes added: "I haven't had an update in terms of where we think he is with it but he's gone for scans. "He got to the warm-up and felt discomfort in the ankle, the same situation that we found ourselves before the beginning of the season, unfortunately. "Not to the same extent, but in the same area, so we need to get to the bottom of it. Hopefully we can settle it down again. "If that's not the case then we'll have to try and do something more radical, maybe, but we'll try and avoid that if we can." The 23-year-old, capped four times by his country, missed Euro 2016 after being injured in England's 3-2 win over Germany in Berlin in March. He was then kept sidelined for two further months after more surgery in September. It is more than three months before England's next fixture - a friendly against Germany in Dortmund on 22 March. But Hughes has already hinted that Butland could face a battle just to get back in the Stoke team. On-loan Derby County goalkeeper Lee Grant has so far conceded just five goals in eight matches since replacing Shay Given in September to help the rejuvenated Potters climb to ninth in the Premiership table. Debjani Bora, a javelin thrower who has won several gold medals, fears her injuries may prevent her representing India in a forthcoming Asian contest. One woman has been arrested for inciting a crowd to attack Ms Bora. Witch hunts targeting women are common in parts of India and a number of those accused are killed every year. Experts say superstitious beliefs are behind some of these attacks, but there are occasions when people - especially widows - are targeted for their land and property. The latest incident took place earlier this week in Ms Bora's home village in the remote hill district of Karbi Anglong, where she also makes a living as a farm worker and lives with her husband and three children. She was blamed in the wake of the the deaths of four people in the village, including one man who took his own life. Police said villagers dragged her to a community prayer hall to face a "public trial on charges of being a witch". Ms Bora recounted her experience to journalists on Wednesday. "Instead of finding out why all the deaths occurred, some village elders suspected a witch was driving the people to death and organised a prayer. As the villagers were chanting hymns, one elderly woman identified me as the witch and shouted that I should be punished," she said. "I was blamed for all these deaths in the village, wrapped up in fishing nets and beaten up severely." She was taken to a local clinic, where she regained consciousness on Wednesday. Karbi Anglong police chief Mugdha Jyoti Mahanta said one woman was arrested on Thursday after Ms Bora's family filed a complaint with the police. "We suspect that she may have targeted Ms Bora for personal reasons," Mr Mahanta said. Branding women as witches is particularly prevalent among tribal communities and tea plantation workers in Assam. Nearly 90 people, mostly women, have been beheaded, burnt alive or stabbed to death after such accusations over the last five years, police say. The inquiry was announced by Attorney General Eric Holder after a grand jury decided against charging the officer. That decision prompted street protests in New York. Activists have called for a march in Washington next week. President Barack Obama said the case spoke to "larger issues". Mr Garner, 43, was stopped on a street in New York on 17 July on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes. After a confrontation with police he was wrestled to the ground and restrained by force. He became unresponsive and later died. America saw a wave of race-related unrest only last week over the decision not to indict another white police officer who had shot dead a young black man in Ferguson, Missouri. Announcing "an independent, thorough, fair and expeditious" investigation into potential civil rights violations in the chokehold case, Mr Holder said he was continuing a review of how to heal a "breakdown in trust" between police and communities. The justice department, he said, would conduct a "complete review" of material gathered in the local investigation. "All lives must be valued - all lives," he added. In isolation, the decision of the grand jury in Staten Island not to indict the white NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo would have sparked anger. The fact that it came less than 10 days after a grand jury in Missouri decided that the white officer involved in the shooting of Michael Brown should not face criminal charges has amplified the sense of racial injustice felt by those who believe the decision is inexplicable. In contrast to Ferguson, there is video evidence showing what happened in Staten Island. New York's medical examiner had already ruled that the death of Eric Garner was a homicide, and that the chokehold contributed to it. Even though America has a black president and a black attorney general, Eric Holder, this will reinforce the widespread feeling in poor African-American communities that the criminal justice system is weighted against them, and that the law is not colour-blind. The confrontation between Eric Garner and police officer Daniel Pantaleo was captured on a mobile phone. The footage shows Mr Pantaleo and other officers arresting him after a lengthy exchange during which he verbally refuses to be handcuffed. Several officers move to restrain Mr Garner, with Mr Pantaleo holding him by the neck. The detainee, who is asthmatic, can be heard shouting repeatedly, "I can't breathe!". City officials found Mr Garner's death was caused by "the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police". Asthma and heart disease also contributed to his death, they said. When the grand jury decided not to bring charges against Mr Pantaleo, the announcement perplexed legal experts. Ekow Yankah, a professor at Cardozo School of Law, told the Associated Press it was "hard to understand" how the jury failed to see probable cause of a crime. James Cohen of Fordham University Law School added: "Logic doesn't play a role in this process." On the streets protesters marched through New York and other cities in the US late on Wednesday, occasionally disrupting traffic, chanting "I can't breathe!" and "Hands up - don't choke!" After the grand jury decision President Obama said: "When anybody in this country is not being treated equally under the law, that is a problem, and it's my job as president to help solve it." New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called the outcome "one that many in our city did not want" and appealed for a "peaceful, constructive" response. Garner family lawyer Jonathon Moore said he was "astonished" by it, and Eric Garner's widow, Esaw Garner, said her husband's death would "not be in vain". "I'm determined to get justice for my husband, because he shouldn't have been killed in that way," she said. Mr Garner's daughter, Erica Snipes, told the BBC she was outraged: "On that video you can see the most cruel horrible thing that someone could do to someone. It's just not right." Civil rights activists Al Sharpton called for a march in Washington on 13 December, saying that state prosecutors worked "hand in hand with the local police". Mr Pantaleo issued a statement in which he said it had never been his "intention to harm anyone" and that he was praying for Garner and his family. Mr Pantaleo's lawyer argued he had used a move taught by the police department, not a chokehold which is banned under New York Police Department policy. Since Mr Garner's death, officers at the largest police department in the US have been ordered to undergo retraining on restraint. These online courses promised to enable universities to reach would-be students in the most inaccessible and deprived parts of the planet. But the sustainability of Moocs has come under question - and a new generation of more carefully targeted distance learning courses have entered the arena. These post-Mooc courses are typically not as "massive" as Moocs, nor quite as "open". And they are not only coming from the elite academic institutions of the West, but from ambitious tech-savvy operators in emerging economies. For example, last month the Massachusetts Institute of Technology launched a 12-week course in Future Commerce, with more than a thousand students paying $2,300 (£1,730). Another 600 students are already in the queue for the next run of this course in August. They've signed up to an MIT course, they'll get an MIT-branded certificate. But it's possible they might never realise that the course has been designed, built and managed by MIT in collaboration with a company thousands of miles from the US. The company is GetSmarter, based in Cape Town, South Africa. Founders, brothers Rob and Sam Paddock, are part of a new breed of academic entrepreneur. The company grew out of a project to help their father, a property lawyer who lectured at the University of Cape Town, to extend his teaching to professionals who had no chance of attending lectures. They were aware of a massive hunger among African professionals for expert, high-quality "up-skilling" - especially in fast-changing fields of IT, commerce, law and accounting. More stories from the BBC's Global education series looking at education from an international perspective, and how to get in touch "We talked to UCT [University of Cape Town]. It was hard work convincing them but eventually they agreed to run a trial," said Rob Paddock. The pilot short courses they developed were marketed under the UCT banner, and provided successful students with a certificate from one of Africa's top higher education institution. The results for those first students were "so good that the UCT people said, let's do more". GetSmarter now has 350 employees and wants to expand into international markets. "There's a South African mentality, that makes me quite sad," Rob Paddock said. "It's that we need to learn from the world... that all the innovation needs to come from the outside, in." "I believe we undervalue ourselves". But the lower value of the South African economy, with its weak currency and lower cost of living, has actually worked to the advantage of these educational technology start-ups. "We have a real competitive advantage," Rob Paddock said. Cape Town is much cheaper. "We can attract the right world class talent. But we get the same skills five to seven times cheaper than in the UK or US." It means they can offer courses at a much lower cost than the big business schools, and yet still make a profit for themselves and the partnering institutions. As well as working with MIT. GetSmarter is developing short online courses with the University of Chicago, and, according to Rob Paddock, is close to reaching an agreement with a "top tier university in the UK". The courses developed with MIT are being closely monitored by Professor Alex "Sandy" Pentland, founding faculty director of the MIT Connection Science Research Initiative. Prof Pentland was enthusiastic about an approach which he felt added the human-to-human interaction missing from many online courses. "In many Moocs, you're by yourself," he said. "With the GetSmarter model there's a teaching support person for every 25 or 30 students." These are the "course coaches", typically recruited from counselling or psychology backgrounds. Based at the HQ in Cape Town, they track each of their assigned students' progress via a "dashboard", and intervene to praise or encourage whenever necessary. As important, from Prof Pentland's point of view, was the ability to foster peer-to-peer interaction. "If you look at executive education at any leading business school, you have lectures, but you also have these things they call table exercises, which are the students talking with each other, asking each other 'what does this mean?', bringing their own experience into play, getting to know each other. "All this makes it a much richer experience," Prof Pentland said. That means "the same material works a lot better, they have a much higher retention rate, and deeper understanding". They have a high course completion rate for online study - well over 90% across all their courses. The courses generate massive amounts of data - every mouse-click, every student or tutor interaction, is recorded, everything is assessed. MIT, as the client, also gets this data, and Prof Pentland is excited at the prospect ultimately of publishing the findings. "Once we really understand this, everyone will be able to pick it up. There will be different models, for profit and not," he said. "The idea is to go beyond the Mooc, to a model where people work together and learn. And then to implement it in open source." He was not surprised that the impetus should be coming from South Africa or Asia rather than the US or Europe. "It's in countries like South Africa where you have the biggest distance problems. There are smart people all over, and they tend to respond to the problem at hand." Exactly what will emerge in five years time from these developments - and whether, as some predict, artificial intelligence will play a key role, is anyone's guess. Rob Paddock and Prof Pentland suggest real live humans will always have a place. The team, from Plymouth and Oxford universities, have been based on the research ship James Cook for the last six weeks. They say the genetic fingerprints of marine life could suggest how to identify areas which are most in need. The research project called Deep Links found amazing sea life amongst a lot of manmade rubbish. Deep Links researchers used a remotely-operated submarine to explore depths below 200m (656ft) around the North Atlantic and collect corals, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. They also found trawl marks, fishing line, trawling gear, tin cans and plastic cups. Dr Kerry Howell, marine biologist from Plymouth University's School of Marine Science, said: "The sea provides lots of services to us, regulating climate and recycling nutrients and supporting our fisheries, so it's important that we manage this area well." The 28-year-old, who previously played in the Premiership for Leeds Carnegie, joined Leinster in 2012 and has made 10 appearances for the club this term. Denton has been part of a Leinster side that finished top of the Pro12 at the end of the regular campaign this year. "His arrival only makes us stronger as a unit," said Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys. "We're looking forward to welcoming Tom into our environment. During his time in the Aviva Premiership with Leeds, he proved to be a quality operator, and he has matured and improved whilst with Leinster. "I know first hand from my time with Ulster what a quality opponent he is and he will be a welcome addition to our second row ranks." Lily Grist, from At the Well, is a massive fan of the show and has been making every one of the show's challenges and show-stoppers. "You don't know what you're going to get every week, so I watch it with a bit of trepidation," she said. But, she added her bakes were "going down really well" with customers. The cafe and launderette was set up by Ms Grist and her two sisters in 2012. Offering tea, coffee and snacks while people wait for their washing, it now also serves up all the "technical challenges" featured each week on the Great British Bake Off. "They are horrendously difficult - my Jaffa cakes were a bit of a disaster, the jelly didn't set for hours and hours," said Ms Grist. "All the things that could go wrong, did go wrong but they sold out - so that was a success." But being "bound by whatever they do" on the show has also meant taking on showstopper challenges, such as the glazed mirror cake. "Watching the show first really helps, you get to see all their mistakes and know not to do the same thing," she said. "But cake week was a real, real challenge - the mirror glaze was a bit of a nightmare - I'll be honest - it just ran off my cake." With several bakes down - including a drizzle cake, Viennese whirls, iced shortbread knickers and lacy pancakes - Ms Grist said it was "so far, so good" but she "might be on the floor" by the end of series seven.

The man crossed the eastern section of the border unarmed on Thursday morning, said South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), with no shots fired. He is now being investigated, said JCS. The DMZ is fortified with landmines and barbed wire and guarded by tens of thousands of troops on both side. Defections across it are very rare. In June last year, a teenage recruit from the North surrendered to his Southern counterparts at Hwacheon. In 2012 a soldier from the North made it through rows of surveillance cameras and electric fencing before eventually managing to hand himself over - an embarrassment that cost three South Korean field commanders their posts. The border and its fortifications have been in place since the Korean War ended in an armistice in 1953. Seoul says more than 29,000 North Koreans have defected to the South since the end of the Korean War, most of them via China. They receive some government help integrating, although some still complain of financial difficulties and discrimination. The latest defection follows media reports that a young North Korean who defected while competing in a maths competition in Hong Kong left the territory for South Korea on the weekend. The 18-year-old had spent two months living in the South Korean consulate, which was heavily guarded during his stay. South Korea has not commented on the reports. Kevin Brady, 32, from Gloucester, who set off on 23 September from Plynlimon, Powys said he could not swim 10 miles a day as he had not trained enough.

After setting off from the river's source in mid-Wales 12 days ago, Mr Brady arrived in Shrewsbury on Saturday. He said the water was "absolutely freezing" and if he could "keep up the pace and avoid sickness and injury" he hoped to finish about a week later than his original target. He has now developed an ear infection, delaying the next leg of the journey due to an appointment with a Shrewsbury doctor. "I want to get to Ironbridge, which is seven miles away, by 6pm today but am seeing the doctor at 11:15 this morning," he said. He said he was using "two special potions" - one created by him, which he said "took a month to brew". Ingredients included "apple cider vinegar, garlic, onions, ginger and turmeric" and Mr Brady said it was "just like lava". "I take a swig after each swim and it kills every bacteria that's got into me. Yesterday I swam past a bloated dead sheep and I am still not sick. The potion must be working," he said. The swim is to raise money for the Superhero Foundation, a charity which he co-founded with his cousin and fellow endurance athlete Jamie McDonald. The Wales audit office has sat on the fence, but as ever with reports from the public spending watchdog, it gives a fascinating account of what was going on behind the scenes in the most talked about acquisition by Welsh government ministers in recent years. In July 2011, the Spanish owners Abertis had asked for £200m when Carwyn Jones flew to Barcelona which strongly suggests it wasn't interested in selling, or as the report puts it, in characteristically dry language: "Officials felt that the price suggested was so unrealistically high as to be a total rebuttal of the Welsh government's approach." Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, and a year later Abertis told Welsh government officials it was prepared to enter into formal negotiations if the price was close to between £56m and £58m. That is, presumably, why the Welsh government made an unbinding offer of up to £55m in December 2012. It appears to be a remarkable coincidence then that three months later, after numerous projections and valuations, the eventual agreed price was £55m (or £52m plus £3m cash). This is something the assembly's public accounts committee will be exploring in its inquiry in the coming weeks. In fact the report says: "The Welsh government's prime concern was that Abertis would withdraw from negotiations if a revised offer was made that was significantly lower than the non-binding offer that the Welsh government had made in December 2012." The key question is whether that price was justified on the commercial terms required for EU state aid purposes? The striking point is that at the time that the unbinding offer was made in December 2012, there was only one initial valuation on the table from the Welsh government's accountants KPMG, and it was between £25 and £35m. Not only did government officials ignore that valuation, but instead struck a provisional deal with Abertis which was up to double that amount. KPMG actually updated its valuation in February 2013 to an even lower figure of between £20m and £30m. Officials felt KPMG's assessment was too low and put another bid in to Abertis of £41m, which was rejected by the company. Welsh government officials then asked KPMG to work up a range of new valuations based on a range of scenarios prepared by an aviation consultancy. The results varied from between £30m to £80m, but crucially KPMG was told to base the valuations on future profits as officials felt this better reflected the potential of the airport than one based mainly on historic under-performance. It's worth remembering that KPMG's initial valuation of £25 to £35m reflected what the report called the airport's "weak performance relative to historic levels and the low current profitability compared with future profit levels forecast by Abertis." So it's clear that the focus on the future, rather than the past, made significant differences in the valuations. The engineering consultancy Arup then were commissioned to follow this up with a review of the valuation evidence, and identified a figure of £55m, which was the eventual price agreed on. So it's clear that there was an initial disagreement between KPMG and the officials on what the airport was worth, and opposition parties have seized on this as evidence that the Welsh government paid too much. But this isn't the full story because there are much higher valuations if the airport is considered a public asset, rather than as a straight commercial operation. It's on this basis that the First Minister is on stronger political ground. He can point to a significant growth in passenger numbers and destinations. He says he believed the airport would have closed, and in so doing threatening the 1,600 jobs at the British Airways Maintenance Centre on the same site. He can't prove that but he can point to a lack of investment by the Spanish owners and it's clear to anyone who has gone to the airport recently that it's now in a far better position than it was a few years ago. And it's those arguments he'll be using to persuade others that in this case the market was failing, and state intervention was required. The 35-year-old spent 10 years with the Gunners before leaving at the end of his contract this summer after 246 appearances. He was the Czech Republic captain at Euro 2016. Rosicky played for Sparta from 1999 until his 2001 move to Borussia Dortmund, where he spent five seasons before his move to Arsenal. Alexander Sinclair, 66, from Grangemouth, was killed in the accident on the A985 west of the Limekilns junction at about 11:40 on Thursday. Mr Sinclair was pronounced dead at the scene while his female passenger was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with serious injuries. A white Citroen van and red motorbike were involved in the crash and the road was closed at McKane Park, Dunfermline. A trailer was taken from Burton's Food Ltd on Ty Coch Way in Cwmbran, Torfaen, at about 03:10 BST on 17 June. The empty trailer was found in Warrington, Cheshire, later that day. Gwent Police said a 35-year-old man from Liverpool had been arrested on suspicion of theft and other vehicles involved in the theft had been found and seized by officers. The schoolboy was arrested on Tuesday under the Computer Misuse Act, which covers hacking and unauthorised access to computer material. The Daily Record newspaper reported that he was questioned by Police Scotland as FBI agents watched on. The boy has since been released and has been reported to the procurator fiscal. A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Following a search of a property in the Glasgow area on Tuesday 16 February, a 15-year-old male was arrested in connection with alleged offences under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. "He has since been released and is the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal." Police would not confirm if the FBI was involved. Suzanne Williams' husband Brian died in 2007 when a barrier swung into his van. She contacted MPs after hearing of the case of William Page, who died in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, last year when a barrier smashed on to his windscreen. An MP told Mrs Williams the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) did not see a need for the barriers to be banned. Mr Page's inquest heard he was driving out of an industrial estate when a barrier swung into his van. He had not inserted a pin into the barrier to keep it open. The 22-year-old had told his family he was going to be a father the day before the accident. In 2007, university professor Mr Williams had stepped in for Mrs Williams, who was pregnant with their third child, to help a local girl guides group on a night hike in Darley Dale. Mrs Williams, from Holloway, said someone else had gone past the car park's swing barrier - which was not fixed in an open position - just before Mr Williams went to drive through. "It was a windy night...the wind had obviously picked up and he just didn't see it," she said. "It went straight up the bonnet, through the windscreen and impaled him." The case was never investigated by the HSE due to the accident occurring on private land, according to Mrs Williams. Mrs Williams contacted Transport Secretary and local MP Patrick McLoughlin, and again after Mr Page's death, but was told through a letter from Local Government Minister Marcus Jones MP in December that the HSE "does not see a need for this type of barrier to be banned". After finding out about Mr Page's death, Mrs Williams, who cited similar deaths in south Wales, Scunthorpe and America, said: "It felt like Brian had died in vain. "How many deaths is it going to take? There are alternative means of securing car parks. "They're dangerous and they're killing people." An HSE spokeswoman said the location of the swing barrier determines who investigates a case. The watchdog regulates barriers on the likes of construction sites and industrial estates, whereas other locations - such as barriers on supermarket car parks - are the responsibility of the local authority, she added. The company says the innovation should make it more immersive to play video games on the machine. Several TVs already feature curved displays, but the feature has proved to be divisive because it has both benefits and disadvantages over flat-panel technology. The Taiwanese company also announced it had acquired a pet technology start-up, at a press conference in Berlin. Several other consumer electronics brands - including Samsung, Lenovo, DJI, Sony and Huawei - are set to unveil new kit of their own at the Ifa technology show in the German capital this week. The Predator notebook's screen is much bigger than the norm - measuring 21in (53.3cm) - but it is its shape that made it possible for the company to claim a "world's first". "The curvature of the screen matches the natural curve of the eyes and gives a wider field of view," Acer Europe's John Miedema told the BBC. "This allows people to pick-up in-game details, like spotting enemies or looking in the rear view mirror in racing games, more easily to give a better, more immersive gaming experience." Curved screens are widely used in cinemas and first appeared in TVs about three years ago. They are also said to produce a greater sense of depth, because the images they show are not on a single plane. Samsung, in particular, has been a strong advocate of the technology. Its two highest-end TVs come only in curved designs. But other manufacturers have experimented with and then abandoned the look. "Curved screens are great if you are in exactly the right position and equidistant from the various points of the display, but as soon as you are not in the ideal place you get distortions of the image and glare," said David Mercer, from the consultants Strategy Analytics. "With TVs this is a problem, as you tend to have more than one person watching at a time. "But I can imagine it makes more sense on a laptop for a single user." However, one games hardware expert had doubts. "It's a bit of a marketing gimmick because while 21in is massive in laptop terms, it's not particularly big in general screen real estate," said Dave James, from the PCGamesN news site. "Desktop monitors are normally 34in or higher for a good curved screen, and that makes a difference as it wraps around your field of view. "For a 21in laptop, your face would have to be extremely close to it to get the effect. "The fact the Predator's screen has an ultra-wide aspect ratio is probably more exciting for gamers." The model's other unusual feature is the inclusion of eye-tracking technology developed by Sweden's Tobii. It was originally developed to help people with disabilities control PCs. Acer follows another Taiwanese company, MSI, in building the sensors into a laptop. They allow gamers to: Tobii first revealed how its tech could be used to enhance PC video games nearly two years ago. But, at present, few titles support the feature. "Acer kept referring to Assassin's Creed Syndicate because it was just about the only game it could point to," said Mr James. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Tom Clancy's The Division are among other compatible titles. "I think it's niche in application," said Piers Harding-Rolls, from the consultancy IHS. "Eye-tracking technology is much more interesting when it comes to virtual reality. "Acer is building the Star VR headset [which integrates Tobii's tech], and this is probably a result of it thinking where else it could use it." At Ifa, Acer also revealed it had acquired the start-up Pawbo. The company makes webcams that allow owners to watch and remotely play with cats and dogs by shining a laser and releasing treats. Acer announced a new model that allowed up to eight people to interact with a pet at once, as well as accessories including a remote control "cat teaser" and a toy rodent that could be made to pop up out of a surface. The company said pet owners had spent a total of $104bn (£79bn) on their animal companions last year. It forecast the sector would grow by 24% by 2019. Until now, Motorola Mobility had been the only major tech company to have targeted the sector, although there are dozens of smaller firms involved. There are plenty of exciting match-ups - London v Paris, Kruis and Itoje v the Racing line-out, and Billy Vunipola v Chris Masoe among them. But the big duel is at fly-half. Racing's Dan Carter is one of the all-time greats, Owen Farrell aspires to become so - can the latter guide Saracens to victory or will Carter add yet another trophy to his laden shelves? Carter is rugby's Yoda. The former All Black has won the lot - two World Cups, three world player of the year awards, the list goes on. England's Farrell is Luke Skywalker to continue the Star Wars Jedi comparison, the youngster making his way in the game. Carter has everything you could wish to have in a fly-half: he's got knowledge of the game, the skillset, deceptive pace, the mental ability and the physical toughness. Media playback is not supported on this device For years in the England camp they've talked about players saying 'if only he was a mixture of X, Y and Z he would be the ideal fly-half'. What they meant was, he'd be Dan Carter. There is nothing Carter lacks and the only negative is his age. At 34 he's not as quick as he once was and he doesn't put the hits in like he could when he was a young man - although there was nothing wrong with his defence against Leicester in the semis. One of his greatest abilities is to up the pace of the game - he goes from slow to super-fast in the blink of an eye, which means the opposition defence is always on edge. England fly-half Farrell, 24, has unbelievable mental toughness. He's also physically strong, good defensively and a great goal-kicker under pressure - when it's required he nails it. This season he's developed his running and passing game and it's no coincidence that Saracens have also opened up more than in the past. He's not the quickest, but he's not the slowest and he's running good support lines. I don't think he's the best tactical kicker though. Someone like Carter can feel the game and defensive pressure and knows where to send the ball - you can just sense it - whereas Farrell is still learning that aspect. Farrell is working very hard to develop and for me he's one of the most improved players around. A season ago I would have said the way the two sides play was a mirror image of each other - kick for territory, chase hard, defend ferociously, batter the opposition with your big ball carriers and only open up inside the opponents' half. But Saracens have opened up their game and now look to score tries from anywhere outside their 22, whereas before they would always look to exit their half before starting to play attacking rugby. They've always scored a fair amount of tries but I think they have a far broader repertoire these days and with the likes of Chris Ashton running his support lines and Alex Goode creating things they have a very useful backline that is really flourishing thanks to the brilliant ball their pack gives them. Racing physically pounded Leicester in the semis and did it so well that Tigers kept spilling the ball because they were worried about the hits coming in, and the French side will look to do that against Sarries too. But I don't think Sarries will be shocked by Racing's physicality - they're too well prepared and will know Racing will look to bring physical power to bear. It is intimidating, but Sarries have forwards of the calibre of England locks Maro Itoje and George Kruis, the Vunipola brothers Billy and Mako, and impressive tight-head Petrus Du Plessis. Racing have got to be careful in the line-outs where Kruis and especially Itjoe will be a major ball-stealing threat. Some of the battles, such as that between England's young behemoth Billy Vunipola and hard as nails former New Zealand international Chris Masoe at number eight, will be ferocious. Kicking out of hand will also be key. We know Carter is a master of pinning teams back and I think Racing's back three will be peppered by Saracens. Brice Dunlin, Juan Imhoff and Joe Rokocoko are a dangerous trio but are not the best kickers, so it will be interesting to see how they deal with the barrage that is likely to come their way - will they try to run it back and get snared by Sarries' wolfpack defence? Sarries have the capacity to show more adventure when needed. They can play any kind of game but they will start tactically and play for territory. However, when this big, relatively unfit Racing pack shows sign of fatigue, expect Saracens to go in for the kill. Saracens should be favourites solely because of their experience of this sort of situation - this is their second final in three years and they have reached the semis for the last four years in a row. If Sarries don't buckle early on under Racing's power - and I don't expect them to - they will win by seven at least. For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. Jeremy Guscott was speaking to BBC Sport's James Standley. Goals from Yemi Odubade and Ben Wright were enough to seal a 2-1 victory for the Spitfires, despite Liam Enver-Marum setting up a tense finale. The Hampshire club will play in the top tier of non-league football for the first time in their 68-year history. "It has been hard work and a lot of emotion," boss Richard Hill said. He told BBC Radio Solent: "We have been under pressure for a lot of the season. "At the start of the season we were made favourites and were then 11 points behind Bromley, who won games when we haven't been playing. "We had to play catch-up. The character of the players gets you through at times." Bradley Simpson was last seen at about 16:00 on Saturday afternoon playing on his bike outside his Lerwick home. He was due to spend the night at his grandmother's house across the road. When he failed to turn up at 20:00 the police were alerted and a search was launched. However, he was found in the back of his dad's van shortly after 22:00. His father had earlier driven the van to a local supermarket at about 18:30, and noticed the door was not shut properly, so he closed and locked it. As the later search continued, Bradley's grandmother Sylvia Woodhouse suggested they check the van, and he was found. She said: "The later it got, I thought has he fallen and hurt himself, or even been unconscious, it had been raining, it was cold. "By about 10 o'clock I really though we weren't going to see him again, that he wasn't going to be alive." Describing the moment when they opened the door and found Bradley, she said: "I thought I was going to vomit just with the relief from the stress and the worry, and I burst into tears." The 32-year-old is a former captain of his country, winning 48 caps, his last appearance coming in June 2015. Nurse had a spell at Gander Green Lane in 2003 but has most recently been playing for Puerto Rico FC in the North American Soccer League. He has had spells with several English non-league clubs, including Aldershot, Stevenage and Tamworth. Renee and Andrew MacRae, who was three, vanished on 12 November 1976. Mrs MacRae's burned-out BMW was discovered that night in a lay-by on the A9 south of Inverness. In statement, the family said it was "collectively heartbroken" the pair remained missing 40 years on but were still hopeful of finding answers. Police Scotland said an investigation into their disappearance remained ongoing. On the evening of her disappearance Mrs MacRae, 36, had set off to meet her lover Bill McDowell in Perth but he insisted they never met. There has been speculation that Renee MacRae and her son were murdered and their bodies buried at either a quarry or at construction works for the A9. In 2004, police searched nearby Dalmagarry quarry but no bodies were found. Two years later a report naming a suspect who may have killed the pair was sent to prosecutors but they decided there was insufficient evidence to take action. It has been reported recently that "an anomaly" has been detected by ground penetrating radar in the foundations of a bridge near the lay-by where the car was found. However, Police Scotland said its inquiries indicated construction work did not start in this area until some time after Mrs MacRae's disappearance. The force said it would nonetheless liaise with contractors involved in the current A9 upgrade in an effort to explain the radar anomaly. In their newly released statement, the family said: "Forty years have passed since the disappearance of Renee and Andrew and as a family we remain collectively heartbroken to have lost a much loved and cherished mother, sister, brother and friend to many. "We cannot give up hope that somebody holds information which could help lead us to the answers as to what happened to our beloved Renee and Andrew. "Our message is it is never too late. We are confident these answers will come from the local community and as a family we urge that person to come forward - until such time the person who caused harm to Renee and Andrew will continue to escape justice and we will be without closure." Det Supt Jim Smith, of Police Scotland's Major Investigations Team North, said: "As in all cases such as these, there is a family quite rightly seeking answers and closure. "We are determined to do all we can to find those answers, and to that end continue to maintain contact with the family of Christine MacRae and Andrew MacRae as the years go on. "The passage of time is no barrier and we continue to urge anyone who may have information that could assist the investigation to come forward." In England the government wants more graduate staff in nurseries in a bid to boost children's literacy and numeracy. But a study published by the London School of Economics (LSE) claims highly qualified staff had only a "tiny" effect on attainment. One early years group said the the report challenged "many of the assumptions" around current policy. The researchers, from the Centre for Economic Performance at LSE, Surrey University and University College London, looked at figures, drawn from the National Pupil Database, on about 1.8 million five-year-olds who started school in England between 2008 and 2011. These were the most recent figures available when the project began in 2012. The researchers cross-referenced the children's attainment at the end of their first year at school with information on the nurseries they had attended the previous year. The information revealed, that the children from nurseries with teachers qualified to degree level on the staff performed only slightly better than children who had not had access to qualified teachers at nursery. This amounted to having an overall teacher assessment score at the end of the reception year of just a third of a point higher, where the maximum points available is 117. The researchers also found only a minimal benefit for children who had attended nurseries rated outstanding by Ofsted, compared with those who had attended other nurseries. Lead author Dr Jo Blanden, senior lecturer in Economics at Surrey University, said: "Successive governments have focused on improving staff qualifications, based on the belief that these are important for children's learning. "Our research finding that having a member of staff qualified to graduate level working in the nursery has only a tiny effect on children's outcomes surprised us, given existing research that finds well-qualified staff have higher quality interactions with children. "It is extremely important to discover the factors that lead to a high quality nursery experience so we can maximise children's chances to benefit developmentally from attending nursery, particularly as the government extends the entitlement from 15 to 30 hours." Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, the largest voluntary sector provider of early years education in England, hoped the report would help "end the widespread misconception that private and voluntary providers are of lower quality than maintained settings simply because they are less likely to employ graduate staff". "We have long argued that quality early years provision is about more than just staff qualifications," said Mr Leitch. "Experience, a caring demeanour and, crucially, an in-depth understanding of child development are all equally vital to ensuring that children get the best possible start in life." The LSE study contradicts research last year from Save the Children which said it was crucial for every nursery in England to have a qualified early years teacher. The charity's UK poverty director, Gareth Jenkins, said it was still very much of the view that qualified nursery teachers made a huge difference. "A wide body of evidence shows that children who don't have access to these teachers are more likely to start school behind their peers, and that children who start behind are four times more likely to still be behind by the time they start secondary school - something that can have a huge impact on the rest of their lives," said Mr Jenkins. A Department for Education spokesman said the government's early education strategy was working, with a record number of nurseries, pre-schools and childminders rated "good" or "outstanding" and the proportion of children reaching the expected learning and development continuing to rise. "Latest results show the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their counterparts is narrowing," said the spokesman. Each qualified nation were assigned to one of four pots for the draw according to their Uefa coefficient ranking, which is based on all competitive results since September 2010. Which of the finalists is "practically the finished article", and which is "as interesting as an early morning trip to Ikea"? Euro 2016 prospects: France were the last host nation to win the title, in 1984, and are among the favourites this time. With a dynamic and athletic midfield, allied to verve and pace in a three-man front line, they can be electric on the counter-attack. Coach Didier Deschamps has brought unity to a squad riven by unrest for years; however, the blackmail case which has pitted striker Karim Benzema and attacking midfielder Mathieu Valbuena on opposite sides could yet undermine the team's chances. Euro pedigree: Winners in 1984, as hosts, and 2000. This is their seventh successive Euros finals. Key player: Blaise Matuidi. There are more celebrated French players, but 28-year-old Matuidi is the driving force in midfield, breaking up the opposition's play and springing forward with inexhaustible energy. Deschamps has said the Paris St-Germain player is the "first name on the team sheet". Premier League players: Hugo Lloris (Tottenham), Olivier Giroud, Laurent Koscielny, Mathieu Debuchy (all Arsenal), Morgan Schneiderlin, Anthony Martial (both Manchester United), Yohan Cabaye (Crystal Palace), Bacary Sagna, Eliaquim Mangala (both Manchester City), Moussa Sissoko (Newcastle), Mamadou Sakho (Liverpool), Kurt Zouma (Chelsea). Who's the boss? Deschamps, 47, led the team to the World Cup quarter-finals in 2014, where they lost 1-0 to Germany. As a player, he captained France to victory at the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000. Euro 2016 prospects: Romania possess the disciplined team ethic and strong defence that was characteristic of Greece's shock Euro 2004 triumph. Nonetheless, national coach Anghel Iordanescu is not fooled by his side's fairly lofty world ranking of 16th - or the fact they had the best defensive record in qualifying, instead bemoaning the lack of players based in Europe's top leagues. How they qualified: Dourly, as unbeaten Group F runners-up to Northern Ireland. Romania endured a national-record goal drought of 428 minutes which included a run of four straight draws in the second half of the campaign, but they only conceded twice in their 10 matches. Euro pedigree: They reached the quarter-finals in 2000 by beating England with a last-minute penalty, conceded by Phil Neville. It is their only victory in 13 European Championship matches. Key player: Vlad Chiriches. After two unconvincing seasons with Tottenham, the 26-year-old centre back is finding it equally difficult to cement a first-team place at Napoli, but he is an integral part of Romania's redoubtable defence. Premier League players: Costel Pantilimon (Sunderland), Florin Gardos (Southampton). Who's the boss? The world-weary Anghel Iordanescu was appointed for the third time in October 2014; he initially turned down the role but was persuaded of the need for his experience. Iordanescu, 65, guided Romania to three successive major tournaments in the 1990s and was also in charge from 2002-04. He quit football a few years later and served as a senator between 2008 and 2012. Euro 2016 prospects: The most unfashionable side to qualify, and rank outsiders with Northern Ireland. The influence of their Italian coach is clear - they are organised, sit deep and frustrate the opposition, hoping to snatch a goal from set-pieces or long shots. They stifled Portugal in qualifying, winning 1-0 away and only losing the return game in stoppage time. How they qualified: They only scored seven goals - five of them against bottom side Armenia. That does not include their 3-0 win in Serbia, awarded by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after a riot. That decision, and the shock win in Portugal, saw them finish second in Group I, two points ahead of Denmark. Euro pedigree: Debutants. Key player: In a workmanlike side, Basel midfielder Taulant Xhaka, 24, stands out for his technical ability and confidence on the ball. A former Swiss under-21 international, he's the elder brother of Switzerland's Granit Xhaka. Premier League players: None. Who's the boss? This is not the first time Italian Gianni de Biasi, 59, has found unexpected success with minnows - he led Italian club side Modena to Serie A in 2002 after back-to-back promotions. His last club job was with Udinese, who sacked him in 2010. Euro 2016 prospects: The Swiss credit rating is fairly high despite the national team having never reached the knockout stage at a European Championship. They progressed to the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup and their regular starting line-up all play for top-flight clubs in Germany, England or Italy. What they desperately lack is a dead-eyed striker. How they qualified: Beaten in their first two games, the Swiss recovered to comfortably finish as Group E runners-up behind England. Four straight home wins yielded 17 goals. Euro pedigree: Underwhelming. They've finished bottom of their group in all three previous appearances, but did at least earn their first victory at the ninth attempt when co-hosts in 2008. Key player: Premier League players: Xherdan Shaqiri (Stoke), Gokhan Inler (Leicester), Valon Behrami (Watford). Who's the boss? Bosnian-Croat Vladimir Petkovic, 52, is a naturalised Swiss citizen who took over from Ottmar Hitzfeld after the 2014 World Cup. Multi-lingual Petkovic worked for a homeless charity between 2003 and 2008 while coaching lower league Swiss clubs in the evenings. Euro 2016 prospects: After the 2014 World Cup debacle comes hope that England's youthful squad have learned some valuable tournament lessons. Unlike Euro 2012, when Roy Hodgson took charge a month prior to the finals, he has had since September to plan ahead, with England having breezed through qualifying. He used 33 players en route to France; there is emerging talent in the squad but Euro 2016 may come too soon. How they qualified: Group E winners. England were the only nation to qualify with a 100% winning record, the first time they have done so in a European Championship qualifying campaign. A tally of 31 goals - seven from Wayne Rooney - was second only to Poland's 33. Euro pedigree: Third of the four finalists in 1968, England were also semi-finalists as hosts of Euro 96. Statistically, Euro 2012 was England's best showing on foreign soil at the continental tournament: they were unbeaten aside from a quarter-final exit on penalties against Italy. Key player: Who's the boss? This will be 68-year-old Roy Hodgson's third major tournament as England boss as he looks to secure an extension to a contract that expires after Euro 2016. Hodgson has managed 14 club sides and four national teams. Euro 2016 prospects: Winless at the 2014 World Cup, Russia's fortunes have improved since Fabio Capello's sacking in July this year. Replacement Leonid Slutsky reinforced the defence with players from Champions League regulars CSKA Moscow, who he also manages. How they qualified: They claimed only eight points from six games under Capello but won their remaining four with Slutsky at the helm, including a vital win over Sweden to pip them to automatic qualification. Euro pedigree: Winners as the Soviet Union in 1960, and finalists in 1964, 1972 and 1988. A run to the semi-finals in 2008 is their best performance since the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1991. Key player: Sergei Ignashevich. Russia's rock is now 36 but he remains vital. The CSKA Moscow defender helped Russia keep five clean sheets in the nine qualifiers he played in. Premier League players: None. Who's the boss? Leonid Slutsky was rewarded for rescuing Russia's Euro 2016 campaign with a contract until after the finals. He is no stranger to playing the hero - aged 19 he rescued a cat stuck up a tree; unfortunately he fell, suffering a knee injury which ended his playing career. Euro 2016 prospects: After a 58-year wait to play in a major tournament, Wales will not be going just to make up the numbers. Gareth Bale's goals propelled them to France, but captain and defensive rock Ashley Williams is equally as important. The Welsh FA's Together Stronger slogan epitomises their brilliant team spirit. How they qualified: They lost just once, away to Bosnia-Herzegovina, and conceded four goals - only Romania, England and Spain let in fewer. Bale and Aaron Ramsey scored nine of Wales' 11 goals. Euro pedigree: Debutants at a 'finals'. Reached the quarter-finals in 1976, when only the semi-finals onwards were regarded as the finals. Key player: Things aren't going quite so well at club level, but the world's most expensive player can do no wrong for Wales. He recently stopped driving luxury sports cars as they were causing him hamstring problems. Premier League players: Joe Allen (Liverpool), James Chester (West Brom), James Collins (West Ham), Ben Davies (Tottenham), Wayne Hennessey and Joe Ledley (both Crystal Palace), Andy King (Leicester), Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal), Neil Taylor and Ashley Williams (both Swansea). Who's the boss? Chris Coleman took over in difficult circumstances following the death of Gary Speed in 2011. Booed regularly at the start of his tenure, with a 6-1 World Cup qualifying defeat in Serbia the nadir of poor results early on, Coleman is now in talks to extend his contract beyond 2016. Euro 2016 prospects: Slovakia will be appearing at just their second major tournament in 11 attempts since gaining independence in 1993. They reached the last 16 at the 2010 World Cup, helping to knock out Italy in the group stages. They also beat Spain in qualifying for Euro 2016 so are not afraid to mix it with the big boys. How they qualified: Slovakia won their first six qualifiers, including a 2-1 home victory against holders Spain. However, one point from their next three matches left them level on points with Ukraine before a 4-2 win over Luxembourg sealed second spot. Euro pedigree: This is their first appearance. Key player: Premier League player: Martin Skrtel (Liverpool). Who's the boss? Former Czechoslovakia international Jan Kozak was appointed in July 2013. The 61-year-old had previously managed several Slovakian league clubs. Euro 2016 prospects: They may be joint favourites with hosts France, but the world champions are not currently looking like world beaters. Germany scored 36 goals in qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil, but just 24 to reach Euro 2016. How they qualified: A 2-0 defeat by Poland was their first in a qualifying campaign for nearly seven years. Another loss in Ireland meant they only narrowly topped Group D. Average possession of 67% was the joint-highest in qualifying, with Spain. Euro pedigree: Winners in 1972, 1980 (both as West Germany) and 1996. They reached the semi-finals in 2012, when they lost 2-1 to a Mario Balotelli-inspired Italy. Key player: Thomas Muller. Without the retired Miroslav Klose, the goalscoring onus falls on Bayern Munich's brilliant forward. Known as the Raumdeuter, or 'space investigator', he top scored for Germany with nine goals in nine qualifiers. Premier League players: Emre Can (Liverpool), Mesut Ozil (Arsenal), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Manchester United). Who's the boss? Joachim Low masterminded Germany's first trophy since Euro 96 by winning the 2014 World Cup after years of careful planning from academy level upwards. Euro 2016 marks a decade in charge and he has a new contract to 2018. Euro 2016 prospects: They had a good defensive record in qualifying (conceding five times in 12 games), and will try to frustrate opponents and capitalise on the flair provided by Yevhen Konoplyanka and Andriy Yarmolenko. How they qualified: After five defeats in qualifying play-offs, they finally held their nerve to beat Slovenia 3-1 on aggregate - with Yarmolenko netting twice. They finished third in Group C, failing to score against automatic qualifiers Spain and Slovakia. Euro pedigree: This is the first time Ukraine have qualified. Co-hosts in 2012, they went out in the group stage. The majority of the USSR team that started the Euro 1988 final defeat by the Dutch were from Ukraine. Key player: Premier League players: None Who's the boss? Mykhaylo Fomenko took over in 2012 and saw Ukraine narrowly miss out on qualification for the World Cup, losing a play-off 3-2 on aggregate to France. Euro 2016 prospects: Robert Lewandowski's firepower makes them a dangerous side, while almost as important is Sevilla's defensive midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak, who was named in La Liga's team of the year last season. There are capable performers elsewhere in the side, but Poland lack tournament nous, exiting at the group stage in their four major tournament appearances this century. How they qualified: They beat the Republic of Ireland 2-1 to secure second spot in Group D. They were top scorers in qualification with 33 goals, with the highlight a stunning 2-0 win against world champions Germany in 2014. Euro pedigree: This is only the second time they have qualified. They failed to win a game in 2008 or as co-hosts in 2012. Key player: Bayern Munich's Lewandowski, 27, is arguably the world's best number nine right now - scoring 30 goals in his first 28 games this season for club and country. His tally of 13 goals in qualifying equalled the European Championship record set by former Northern Ireland player David Healy. Premier League player: Lukasz Fabianski (Swansea). Who's the boss? Appointed in October 2013, Adam Nawałka, 58, played for Poland at the 1978 World Cup. He has not managed outside of his homeland. Euro 2016 prospects: Boss Michael O'Neill has targeted a place in the knockout stage in France. Team spirit and dead-ball deliveries will be crucial - they scored nine goals from set-pieces in qualifying, more than any other nation. How they qualified: Early away wins in Hungary and Greece set the tone and their sole defeat, in Romania, was the only time they conceded more than once in a game. Euro pedigree: Debutants. Key player: Premier League players: Chris Brunt, Jonny Evans and Gareth McAuley (all West Brom), Craig Cathcart (Watford), Steven Davis (Southampton), Kyle Lafferty (Norwich), Paddy McNair (Manchester United). Who's the boss? Michael O'Neill's success has not come overnight - the former Shamrock Rovers boss was appointed in 2011, and won just one of his first 18 games in charge. Euro 2016 prospects: Do not be fooled by a dismal World Cup group exit last summer; the majority of the current side were part of Spain's Euro 2012 triumph and the intense competition for places created by emerging talents has helped them regain their edge. They are no longer as likely to overwhelm the best opposition, as they did when winning three major tournaments in a row - Euro 2008, 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 - but coach Vicente del Bosque believes his side "is practically the finished article". How they qualified: Despite a first qualifying defeat for eight years, in Slovakia, they finished top of Group C with nine wins and a national record of eight consecutive clean sheets in competitive games. Euro pedigree: Spain became the first side to retain the trophy when they outclassed Italy 4-0 in the 2012 final. Having also won in 1964, it was a record-equalling third title. Key player: David Silva. Spain are far more potent with the 29-year-old Manchester City playmaker in their side. He usually starts on the right of a three-man attack but roams around the pitch to operate in pockets of space and creates openings with his intelligent probing. Premier League players: Cesar Azpilicueta, Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas & Pedro (all Chelsea), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal), David de Gea & Juan Mata (both Manchester United), David Silva (Manchester City). Who's the boss? Vicente del Bosque, 64, marked a national record 100th match in charge of Spain in June 2015 and he has hinted at staying on beyond Euro 2016. He took charge after Euro 2008 and has built on that success with further titles at the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012. Euro 2016 prospects: Not much will be anticipated of a largely domestic-based squad with no standout stars, but the Czechs performed above expectation in qualifying. They play a patient, attractive style. How they qualified: They began the campaign with a stoppage-time victory against the Dutch and, despite a mid-campaign wobble, they eventually finished top of Group A. Euro pedigree: They have now qualified for the finals six times in a row since the 1993 break-up of Czechoslovakia, who won the tournament in 1976. The Czechs were runners-up in 1996, semi-finalists in 2004 and quarter-finalists in 2012. Key player: Petr Cech. The team's captain is set to play at his fourth European Championship, when he will be 34. Premier League players: Petr Cech and Tomas Rosicky (both Arsenal). Who's the boss? Pavel Vrba, 52, has been named Czech Coach of the Year for five seasons running. Prior to his 2013 appointment, he led modest provincial club Viktoria Plzen to the first four major trophies in their history. Euro 2016 prospects: Few people gave Turkey hope after a disastrous start to qualifying, but they conceded just three times in their last seven matches and beat the Dutch 3-0 and Czechs 2-0. Their Fifa world ranking of 21 is their highest since 2009. How they qualified: One point from three Group A games was their worst start to a qualifying campaign since preliminaries for Italia '90, but a late winner against Iceland in their final qualifier saw them through as the third-placed team with the best record. Euro pedigree: This is their fourth appearance. They reached the semi-finals in 2008. Key player: Technically gifted midfielder Arda Turan, 28, now at Barcelona, was central to Atletico Madrid's La Liga triumph in 2014 and is of equal importance to his national side. He is barred from kicking a ball for his new club until January 2016 because of a transfer embargo. Premier League players: None. Who's the boss? Fatih Terim - 'The Emperor' - started his third spell in charge in 2013. In his first (1993-96) they qualified for their first European Championship. In his second (2005-2009) they reached the semi-finals of Euro 2008. Euro 2016 prospects: Dangerous dark horses with formidable technical ability. A midfield axis of Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric is the envy of coaches the world over, while Mario Mandzukic has been one of Europe's most prolific strikers over the last few years. How they qualified: A turbulent campaign saw them docked a point and forced to play two qualifiers behind closed doors, while coach Niko Kovac was sacked with two games left. But they ended as Group H runners-up, leapfrogging Norway in the final round of fixtures. Euro pedigree: This is their fourth successive appearance in the finals, and their fifth in total. They reached the quarter-finals on debut in 1996 and again in 2008. Key player: Midfielder Rakitic has been tasked with filling Xavi's boots at Barcelona. He won the treble in his first season and scored the opener in the 2015 Champions League final. Premier League players: Andrej Kramaric (Leicester City), Dejan Lovren (Liverpool). Who's the boss? Ante Cacic took over for the final two qualifiers. He had previously managed Dinamo Zagreb, Lokomotiva Zagreb and Slovenian side Maribor. Euro 2016 prospects: Ranked by Fifa as the best country in the world, Belgium will arrive in neighbouring France with pressure to justify that tag. They have reached one tournament in 13 years and were underwhelming at last year's World Cup, going out in the quarter-finals 1-0 to Argentina. They arguably need to be less dependent on the individual talents of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne, their top scorers in qualifying, and for their other household names to come to the fore. How they qualified: Group B winners ahead of Wales. Belgium won only three of their opening six qualifying matches but finished with four straight victories. Euro pedigree: Belgium are in the finals for the first time since 2002 when, as co-hosts, they exited at the group stage. They were runners-up in 1980 and third in 1972. Key player: Move over Hazard. De Bruyne, 24, was Belgium's talisman in the qualifying campaign. He played in all 10 games, was joint top scorer with five goals, supplied three assists and had more goal attempts than any team-mate. Premier League players: Toby Alderweireld, Nacer Chadli & Jan Vertonghen (all Tottenham), Thibaut Courtois & Eden Hazard (both Chelsea), Kevin De Bruyne & Vincent Kompany (both Manchester City), Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United), Romelu Lukaku (Everton), Christian Benteke, Simon Mignolet & Divock Origi (all Liverpool). Who's the boss? Marc Wilmots, 46, will celebrate four years in charge next June. He went to four World Cups as a player with Belgium and, as coach, took them to the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup. Euro 2016 prospects: They are a work in progress under Antonio Conte, who has experimented with both 3-5-2 and 4-4-2 formations. Reaching the last four would be a success. How they qualified: They finished unbeaten, four points clear at the top of Group H despite two draws against Croatia. Five of their seven victories were by a single-goal margin, including two uninspiring 1-0 wins against Malta. Euro pedigree: Winners on home soil in 1968 and finalists in 2000 and 2012. They have only failed to advance from the group stage twice (in 1996 and 2004). Key player: Premier League players: Matteo Darmian (Manchester United), Graziano Pelle (Southampton). Who's the boss? Antonio Conte, 46, turned Juventus into Serie A's dominant force, winning three consecutive league titles, so was the obvious replacement for Cesare Prandelli after Italy failed to get out of their group at the 2014 World Cup. It's unclear if he'll stay on beyond Euro 2016. Euro 2016 prospects: Impressive displays against Germany and Bosnia-Herzegovina show they have an effective game-plan against technically superior opposition, meaning they will have realistic hopes of reaching the knockout stage of the European Championship for the first time. How they qualified: They were slow starters but claimed four points against Germany (including a 1-0 win in Dublin) to pip Scotland to third in Group D. They then deservedly overcame Bosnia-Herzegovina in a play-off. Defensive solidity was the key - they conceded eight goals in 12 games. Euro pedigree: They failed to advance from their group in both previous campaigns (1988 and 2012), losing all three Euro 2012 games. Key player: Jon Walters, 32, "epitomises" Ireland's spirit, says Martin O'Neill. The Stoke City striker was his country's outstanding performer in qualifying, and netted both goals in the decisive win against Bosnia. With Robbie Keane no longer a likely starter, Walters is Ireland's biggest goal threat, even when played wide. Premier League players: Harry Arter (Bournemouth), Robbie Brady and Wes Hoolahan (Norwich), Ciaran Clark (Aston Villa), Rob Elliot (Newcastle), Seamus Coleman, Darron Gibson, Aiden McGeady and James McCarthy (all Everton), Shane Long (Southampton), John O'Shea (Sunderland), Darren Randolph (West Ham), Jon Walters and Marc Wilson (both Stoke). Who's the boss? Martin O'Neill has dovetailed effectively with assistant Roy Keane, gradually reviving Irish fortunes after things turned sour in Giovanni Trapattoni's final two years. Euro 2016 prospects: Few teams will go into the Euros as reliant on one player as Sweden are. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, "the only world-class player we have" according to coach Erik Hamren, is captain, talisman and national icon. They have an experienced squad, but one that lacks a bit of spark. As a Danish tabloid cattily put it, Ibrahimovic aside, Sweden's team is "about as interesting as an early morning trip to Ikea". How they qualified: Pipped by Russia to the second qualifying spot in Group G, they met neighbours Denmark in the play-offs and won 4-3 on aggregate thanks to Ibrahimovic's brilliance. Euro pedigree: This is their fifth successive appearance at a Euros, and sixth in total. Their best performance came on debut in 1992, when they made the semi-finals as hosts. Key player: No surprise here, it's Ibrahimovic. Eleven goals in qualifying, including three in the play-offs, increased the 34-year-old's legend. He is out of contract with French side Paris St. Germain at the end of the season. Premier League players: Sebastian Larsson (Sunderland), Jonas Olsson (West Brom), Martin Olsson (Norwich), Ola Toivonen (Sunderland). Who's the boss? Erik Hamren has been Sweden boss full-time since 2010. The 58-year-old had previously built up an impressive coaching CV across Scandinavia. Crucially, he has a good relationship with Ibrahimovic and said after Sweden's play-off win: "Even if he is not part of my family, I love him." Euro 2016 prospects: The weakest side in pot one but still likely quarter-finalists. After a poor 2014 World Cup, results have improved under their new manager, although performances have not been easy on the eye. Portugal's under-21 side oozes talent but next summer will come too soon for most of them. How they qualified: Topped Group I despite scoring just 11 goals. Defeat by Albania in their opener cost Paulo Bento his job as manager but under Fernando Santos they won their seven other games, all by single-goal margins. Euro pedigree: They have reached at least the quarter-finals in the last five tournaments. Beaten finalists on home soil in 2004, they were semi-finalists in 2000 and 2012. Key player: Cristiano Ronaldo, who else? The three-time world player of the year scored five goals in six qualifying appearances, but he has not been at his brilliant best for Real Madrid this season. Premier League players: Eder (Swansea), Jose Fonte and Cedric Soares (both Southampton). Who's the boss? After ending his playing career at the age of 21, Fernando Santos worked as an electrician before taking up coaching. Now 61, he has won his first seven competitive games in charge of Portugal - the first manager to do so. He overachieved by taking Greece to the knockout stage at Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup. Euro 2016 prospects: Despite a population of roughly 330,000 (comparable to Coventry) and only 21,508 registered players, Iceland's chances should not be dismissed. Investment in better facilities has produced a generation of "indoor kids" - many of the current squad learned the game on 3G pitches inside heated domes. In 2011 they qualified for the European Under-21 Championship for the first time, and several of those players have stepped up to senior level. How they qualified: They beat the Netherlands, home and away, and claimed wins against the Czech Republic and Turkey to become the smallest country to qualify for a European Championship. Euro pedigree: Debutants. Key player: Premier League player: Gylfi Sigurdsson (Swansea). Who's the boss? Swede Lars Lagerback, 67, is joint coach with Heimir Hallgrimsson. Lagerback guided Sweden to five straight major finals between 2000-08. He will retire after Euro 2016, with 48-year-old Hallgrimsson taking sole charge. Euro 2016 prospects: Hopes are high after a remarkable qualification campaign which helped Austria climb into the top 10 of the Fifa rankings for the first time. How they qualified: Austria were unbeaten in Group G, winning nine of their 10 matches to finish eight points clear of Russia. Euro pedigree: This is only their second appearance and the first time they have qualified for the finals. They failed to win a game as co-hosts at Euro 2008. Key player: A central midfielder for his country, David Alaba's versatility makes him a favourite of Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola, who has said: "Alaba is our god - he has played in nearly all 10 positions." Premier League players: Marko Arnautovic (Stoke City), Christian Fuchs (Leicester), Sebastian Prodl (Watford), Kevin Wimmer (Tottenham). Who's the boss? Former Switzerland international Marcel Koller. After Austria booked their place in France with victory against Sweden, he turned up to the post-match media conference wearing a beret and eating a baguette. Euro 2016 prospects: Hungary ended a 30-year championship drought with qualification. Not a single member of their squad plays regularly in any of Europe's top five leagues and they would appear to be among the weakest sides heading to France. How they qualified: They won just four of their 10 group games and went through three different coaches, but ultimately saw off Norway in the play-offs. Euro pedigree: They were heavyweights in the competition's early tournaments, finishing third in 1964 and fourth in 1972. They subsequently failed to qualify for 10 successive finals until now. Key player: Balazs Dzsudzsak. The 28-year-old left winger and captain was crucial to their qualification. He has played regularly in Hungary, the Netherlands and Russia and is currently with Turkish side Bursaspor. Premier League player: Adam Bogdan (Liverpool). Who's the boss? German Bernd Storck, 52, took over in July, initially temporarily following Pal Dardai's switch to Hertha Berlin. The majority of his coaching career has been in Kazakhstan. He played for Borussia Dortmund in the 1980s. Written by Tom McCoy, Noel Sliney, Paul Birch and Craig Barnes. The language can now appear on official documents, although Arabic will remain the language of government. A two-term limit on the presidency was lifted in 2008 to allow Abdelaziz Bouteflika to run for a third term. The limit is part of a package of constitutional reforms that authorities say will strengthen democracy. Opposition leaders have dismissed the changes as superficial. The Berber language - known locally as Amazigh - was recognised in 2002 as a national language, meaning it could be taught officially in schools in Berber-speaking regions. But Berbers pushed for it to be awarded official status, meaning it would also be accepted on administrative documents. The Berbers were the original inhabitants of North Africa before the seventh century Arab invasion, and they now make up 13 million of Algeria's 39 million people. Among the other reforms are the promise of an independent electoral commission and recognition of the roles of women and youth. And the president will be required to nominate a prime minister from the largest party in parliament. The changes were among those promised by President Bouteflika following the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011. The scrapping of terms limits allowed Mr Bouteflika to stand for a third term in 2009. The 78-eight-year old president was re-elected again in 2014 but has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke the previous year. The package was passed by 499 votes to two, with 16 abstentions, senate speaker Abdelkader Bensalah said. "This project crowns the process of political reforms promised by the head of state," said Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal. The reforms guaranteed "democratic change by means of free elections" and were "a bulwark against the vagaries of political change", he added. But opposition critics say the reforms are little more than a show and will do little to reduce the grip on power held by Mr Bouteflika and his inner circle. With his terms nearly at an end, there are fears of instability in the mainly Muslim country of 40 million, a key energy producer. Unlike many countries in the region, including its neighbours Libya and Tunisia, Algeria was unaffected by the Arab Spring. But it is facing a range of challenges, including regular jihadist attacks and sporadic outbreaks of violence between Berbers and Arabs. In a co-ordinated operation, five were arrested in Greater Manchester in dawn raids on Monday, while a 29-year-old Iranian man was held in Northampton. Another Iranian man, 29, was detained in Glasgow. On Tuesday, a British woman, 46, and a 33-year-old Iranian man were arrested at Manchester Airport. All nine have been bailed pending further inquiries. Home Office immigration officials said their investigation into the suspected smuggling ring started in March and had been carried out with French border police, Europol and Eurojust. The five arrested in Greater Manchester on Monday included: Dave Magrath, an assistant director at the Home Office's Immigration Enforcement, said: "Our investigation is targeting an organised network suspected of being involved in a complex and systematic attempt to evade the UK's immigration controls." Microsoft's launched a test version of the Skype Translator which decodes conversations in Spanish and English in real time. It means that during video calls people who speak those languages will be able to talk freely. Gurdeep Pall from Microsoft says it follows more than 10 years of investment. "Skype Translator will open up endless possibilities for people around the world to connect, communicate and collaborate," he said. "People will no longer be hindered by geography and language." It's been trialled on school children in Mexico City and Tacoma in Washington, one classroom speaking Spanish and the other speaking English. They played a game called Mystery Skype where pupils from one school asked questions to try to work out which part of the world the other school was in. The Skype Translator service is available in English and Spanish but Microsoft says it will eventually be available in more languages. There are more than 40 instant messaging languages available to customers who have signed up via the Skype Translator page and are using Windows 8.1. According to Microsoft more than 300 million people use Skype each month, totalling more than 2 billion minutes of conversation a day. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube The 27-year-old Austria international finished top scorer for the Potters in the 2015-16 season. He is on a four-year deal and tied to the club until June 2017, but Stoke are yet to come to an extended agreement with his Austria-based agent. "He knows we want him to sign," chief executive Tony Scholes told BBC Stoke. "We've been great for him and he's been great for us. (Manager) Mark Hughes and the rest of the staff all want him to sign. We believe that this is the best place for him. "But Marko and his agent are biding their time. All I can say is they've not agreed anything yet. We hope he'll sign, but I still can't give a definitive answer." The powerful Arnautovic enjoyed his most successful season since being signed for an undisclosed seven-figure fee from Werder Bremen in September 2013 - one of Hughes' first signings as Stoke boss. In 110 appearances for the Potters, he has netted 19 goals, of which 12 have come this season. Police were inundated with reports of people having their windows smashed and tyres slashed in Leicester and villages in the Wreake Valley. Detectives, who said nothing was stolen from the vehicles, have appealed for more people to report Monday's damage. The men, aged 18, 19, 20, 21 and 23, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage but have since been bailed. Milkman Tony Fowler, who was one of the first people on the scene, said: "It was just pure mindless, senseless destruction. "I've never seen so many [cars damaged] in such a short space of time." Reports were made in areas including Leicester, Glenfield, Thurmaston, East Goscote, Rearsby, Frisby on the Wreake, Saxelby and Waltham on the Wolds. The 24-year-old man, named as Justin Castellanos by police, denies the allegations, local media reports say. It follows a decision to halt construction work for the relocation of a US base in Okinawa last week. The US military's presence in Okinawa - hosting the majority of US troops in Japan - is a divisive issue on the island. Japan's central government, keen to have a significant US military presence in the country at a time of increased tension with China, is much more supportive of the bases. Recently there has been considerable controversy over the relocation of the Futenma airbase from its densely populated current site to a more remote area. Local officials and many residents want the base removed entirely. The land reclamation project necessary for the move has been temporarily halted under a court-mediated settlement, but Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the government still plans to eventually relocate the base to Henoko, south of Nago city. The suspect is accused of taking the alleged victim into his room and raping her after finding her asleep in the corridor of his hotel, according to local media reports. The woman is said to be in her 40s and visiting from Japan's main southern island of Kyushu. The Japanese government's top spokesman, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, said the government had "expressed a strong protest" to the US and added that he hoped police can solve the case. "The US side said it would be a very disappointing incident if the allegation was true and that they're taking this matter seriously," he said. Expressing fewer reservations, Okinawa's governor, Takeshi Onaga, told Kyodo news agency: "It was a serious crime in violation of women's human rights and can never be tolerated. I feel strong resentment." Rapes and other crimes by US troops on the islands have prompted local protests in the past. In 1995, three American servicemen were convicted of kidnapping and raping a 12-year-old girl on her way home from school in Okinawa, leading to massive protests and a reduction in the US military presence. The site of brutal fighting between Japanese and US forces during World War Two, Okinawa is now central to the Japan-US security alliance formed in the years after that war. Okinawa makes up less than one percent of Japan's total land area but hosts about 26,000 US troops - more than half of the 47,000 in the country in total.

Campaigners want to save the Highland Heartbeat Centre and have criticised NHS Highland's handling of its closure. The health board is preparing to move to a clinic-based joint physiotherapy and specialist nurse patient assessment arrangement by early June 2017. It is recruiting extra cardiac rehabilitation specialist nurses. The new set-up would see cardiac rehabilitation offered as an outreach service across the health board's region, including through some local leisure centres. NHS Highland said the Highland Heartbeat Centre at Raigmore Hospital would not close until the alternative arrangements were in place. The health board said it wanted to use the space at the centre, which opened 12 years ago following fundraising efforts, for other clinical services that needed to be on the hospital site. Charlie Bloe, clinical ward manager for coronary care at Raigmore, said he understood why members of the public had concerns about the closure. He told BBC Radio Scotland: "We have been very sympathetic to the views of the various charities that contributed to the development of the Highland Heartbeat Centre. "Cardiology and cardiac nursing is a fast evolving specialism and the way in which you deliver modern-day cardiac rehabilitation has changed significantly in the last 10 years. "The Highland Heartbeat Centre has been a really well-used facility that lots of people have benefited from over the last decade. "The assurances I want to give them is that patients will continue to benefit from an improved cardiac rehabilitation service, albeit it won't be in the Highland Heartbeat Centre." The centre was opened in 2005 after hundreds of thousands of pounds was raised through a public fundraising effort. The rest of the money needed was provided by the British Heart Foundation. Inverness Bravehearts, a charity involved in the centre, said the building should continue as a base for cardiac rehabilitation for patients in the Inverness area. It criticised the planned new arrangement. A spokeswoman for the charity said: "These proposals do not in any way represent the NHS's previously promised equitable solution, equivalent to the specialist facility of the current Highland Heartbeat Centre and the services it provides. "These proposals do not respect and reflect the Highland public's commitment and £1m investment in the centre and it's dedicated cardiac rehab programme." The campaign group, We All Need the Heartbeat, said it was "laughable" for NHS Highland to describe its planned new arrangement as an improvement on what the centre offered. It said the health board's plans were "motivated by a property-grab" on a building supported by public fundraising. Greater Manchester Police acted after reports people were ordered to shred documents about abuse claims at Knowl View school between 1969 and 1995. The school cared for boys from dysfunctional backgrounds and was open for more than 20 years. More than 25 ex-pupils allege they were sexually and physically abused. BBC Radio Manchester has been told the CPS is now reviewing whether prosecutions can be brought. A spokeswoman for the CPS said: "We have received a file from Greater Manchester Police in relation to their investigations into allegations relating to Knowl View School. This is currently under review." Twenty-eight people including former members of staff and pupils have been interviewed under caution as part of the inquiry, which was launched by Greater Manchester Police in 2012. The suspects were aged between between 35 and 80. Police have also examined allegations made against the late Rochdale MP Cyril Smith, who allegedly abused 20 teenage boys between 1960 and 1987 at Knowl View, Cambridge House hostel, and others parts of the town. Despite being subject to allegations and investigations during his career, the Liberal politician was never prosecuted before his death in 2010. GMP also appointed an independent panel to oversee their investigation into an alleged cover-up at Knowl View. It is a moment many of the boys who attended Knowl View thought would never come because they always felt they were disbelieved by those in authority about the abuse they suffered. Knowl View was open from the very end of the 1960s until the early 1990s. It was jointly run initially, by Bolton, Rochdale and Oldham borough councils and Lancashire County Council. And it appears from its earliest days physical and sexual abuse took place within the school walls. Indeed I've spoken to Tony Blair's chaplain Fr Michael Seed who describes being sexually abused by one of its teachers David Higgins. Higgins remains the only person to date to have been convicted of offences at Knowl View. The incident in a remote valley popular with hikers and climbers forced the evacuation of a village in the Val Bondasca region, officials said. German, Austrian and Swiss citizens are among those missing, Graubünden cantonal police said in a statement. Six others initially reported missing were later found safe across the border in Italy, AFP news agency reports. A rescue operation is under way with army helicopters circling above equipped with infrared cameras and technology to detect mobile phone signals. On the ground, some 120 rescuers with dogs are searching for survivors of Wednesday's massive landslide. "Six people have been found in Italy," local police told AFP, adding: "There are still eight people whose whereabouts remain unknown." Early on Wednesday, millions of cubic metres of rock and mud flowed down into the Bondasca valley, stopping just feet from the tiny village of Bondo. The slide area is over 5km (3 miles) long and is "tens of metres" high in places, police said. About 100 local residents were immediately evacuated, with rescue workers initially reporting that everyone was safe. Pictures from the scene show rocks and debris scattered across roads and properties surrounded by mud flows. The landslide happened at about 09:30 local time (07:30 GMT) on Wednesday when four million cubic metres of mud and rock cascaded down the side of the Piz Cengalo mountain, the authorities said. The village of Bondo near the Italian border, which narrowly escaped being hit by the landslide, has been completely evacuated, and will remain closed until at least Friday. Residents fled after alarms sounded in the village, and hikers staying in mountain huts were airlifted to safety. Several farm buildings were destroyed. Geologists have warned that further landslides in the remote area cannot be ruled out. The Graubünden region of Switzerland is known to be at risk of landslides when water overflows from the high alpine lakes. Warning sirens alert local residents and some communities have constructed barriers. But Wednesday's landslide, the biggest in decades according to police, took Bondo by surprise. The alarm system in Bondo was installed after a huge landslide on the slopes of Piz Cengalo in 2012 which crashed into an uninhabited valley. In 2014 a mudslide in Davesco-Soragno in the southern Canton of Ticino swept into a block of flats, killing two people and injuring four others. In 2000, 13 people died when a landslide struck villages in the canton of Valais. He heads China's biggest property company Dalian Wanda, which has been buying up big foreign brands amid a weak domestic real estate market. This includes US cinema chain AMC and luxury British yachtmaker Sunseeker. It will be the first Chinese company to invest in a top European football club. "This investment will not only provide a golden opportunity for young Chinese players sent overseas by Wanda to be selected by leading European football clubs," Mr Wang said in a statement. "It will also strengthen the quality of Chinese football and narrow the gap between the rest of the world." Last season, Atletico Madrid won the title in Spain's top football competition La Liga and reached the final of the Uefa Champions League. However, the club has struggled financially in recent years, accruing more than €500m in debts. The purchase by Mr Wang, who is one of China's richest men, could help to bring in new fans from the lucrative Asian markets and Chinese sponsors. The 60-year-old is known to be a big football fan and owned one of China's most successful teams from 1994 to 2000. There has been a growing trend of Asian billionaires buying into indebted or struggling European football clubs. Malaysian tycoon Vincent Tan owns Welsh club Cardiff City, AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes is chairman of London's Queen Park Rangers, and Singaporean businessman Peter Lim owns a controlling stake in Spanish team Valencia. The hosts controlled the game in the first half, with Cody McDonald and Josh Wright both going close. And they eventually opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time when Stuart Nelson's clearance found its way to Deji Oshilaja, who won the aerial battle with Aristote Nsiala and calmly guided a left-footed shot beyond Jayson Leutwiler. After the break, the Shrews showed some signs of life when Tyler Roberts' low cross was met by Rodman, who somehow hit the post from just six yards out. However, Rodman put his miss behind him swiftly. An awkward ball fell to Roberts whose effort was saved, but Rodman headed the rebound into the empty net just after the hour mark. Both sides missed glorious chances to snatch all three points, Gills captain Max Ehmer striking the post from eight yards out, before Shrews substitute Louis Dodds blazed a loose ball over four minutes from time.

Triumph Over Phobia (TOP) offers support to sufferers of phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and other anxiety-related issues. Trilby Breckman, from the charity, said it hopes to combat the current lack of support for sufferers in south Wales. The group will meet at 18:30 every Wednesday in the city centre. The charity, founded in Bath, said 10% of people in south Wales suffer from phobias and 3% have OCD. TOP uses exposure therapy - which involves facing fears in a controlled way - alongside cognitive behaviour therapy, to help change ways of thinking. "It's wonderful news at long last that people suffering with anxiety-related disorders will be able to access support," Ms Breckman added. "We welcome any adult with a phobia or OCD who would like help." Blerim Hajdarmataj, 24, of Chelmsford, was found guilty of sex offences by a jury in his absence last September. His 18-year-old female victim, from Hornchurch, was left bruised and bitten after the attack. Chelmsford Crown Court jailed him for eight years after he was caught under a European arrest warrant. Hajdarmata was flown back to the UK last Friday and sentenced on Monday. The trial jury was told how he had bought a drink for his victim in a Chelmsford bar in September 2014. She had refused his request to go home with him but awoke the following day in his bed. The woman fled and flagged down a passing motorist for help. Det Insp Terry Balding said: "Hajdarmataj took advantage of a vulnerable woman in the most horrendous and vile way. "He has shown no remorse for his actions, which have had a lasting effect on the victim. "By fleeing the country during his trial, he put her through more fear and pain. "I would like to thank her for her strength in providing evidence throughout the case." The defence ministry said 16 people were seriously injured, correcting earlier reports that 27 had died. The plane was carrying 32 passengers and seven crew when it came down near Tiksi in the Bulun district of Russia's far east. Weather conditions were reportedly bad in the area when the crash happened. The plane was carrying out a scheduled flight from Kansk when it came down about 30km (18 miles) short of Tiksi at 04:45 (19:45 GMT Sunday). The plane broke into three pieces in what appears to have been an amergency landing. Three Mi-8 helicopters were despatched to the crash site by Russia's Emergency Ministry. He won 26 of the 48 votes cast to clinch victory in the first round. The elections were organised by Fifa's Normalisation Committee, who had been put in place to manage the Togo FA's affairs after an internal crisis. Akpovy's major tasks are to streamline the country's football administration and restart the domestic league. He said: "I will turn the fortunes of Togo's football. I am going to make sure that we start the league by 15 May 2016 because we need young talented players to fill up our national teams." Togo play Tunisia home and away in Match as part of the qualifiers for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon. OneKind said "enough was enough" after four years of unsuccessful attempts to breed using the "invasive procedure" on Tian Tian. Experts carried out the procedure on Sunday evening after tests showed she had reached peak fertility. The zoo is open but the panda enclosure will remain closed until Thursday. Tian Tian has failed to produce a cub despite repeated artificial inseminations since her arrival at the zoo with a male panda, Yang Guang, in 2011. Libby Anderson, OneKind policy advisor, said: "It is desperately sad that the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland has chosen to subject Tian Tian to further invasive procedures for a fourth year running in a bid to produce a panda cub. "OneKind maintains its position that attempting to breed more captive pandas in Edinburgh Zoo is misguided, when they will never return to the wild or improve protection for the wild population in their native habitat." "We have said time and time again that the zoo should leave the animals in peace rather than continually forcing unnatural procedures on them in efforts to breed a captive panda cub. "After four years of unsuccessful attempts to breed, surely enough is enough." The zoo defended its attempts at breeding pandas as important to the worldwide conservation effort. Iain Valentine, director of giant pandas for The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: "It is simply incorrect and misleading to view the management of captive and wild populations of giant pandas separately. "The global effort to save the species is part of one overarching conservation programme with flow between the two elements. "We continue to believe that it is important biologically for Tian Tian, a female in her prime, to breed and reproduce and, if science can lend a hand, then it should. "Our keepers would simply never do anything that would cause any suffering to any animals in their care. "There is also every hope, based on where we currently are as a global collective, that the offspring of Tian Tian and Yang Guang will at some point go back into the wild." The two giant pandas arrived in Scotland in December 2011 and are being rented by Edinburgh Zoo from the Chinese government for a decade for an annual fee of about £600,000. Tian Tian had previously given birth to twins in China but all attempts to produce a cub at Edinburgh Zoo have failed. Zoo staff believe she may have been pregnant on a number of occasions but pandas sometimes re-absorb the foetus during the course of the pregnancy. It happened on the Saintfield Road shortly before 04:00 BST Sunday. Only one vehicle was involved in the crash. The man's name has not been released. Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the crash to contact them. 3 December 2015 Last updated at 15:27 GMT The blaze, at North Dean Business Park on Stainland Road, Elland, started at about 10:15 GMT. Several explosions were witnessed at the fire's height. The fire service said it was now under control. Video shared with the BBC by Rebecca Dent However, her character - Benina - speaks a language she only half understands. It is a problem shared by most of her fellow cast, not to mention her future audience. The script is in Patuá - a creole that mixes Portuguese, Cantonese and Malay - that today is only spoken by a handful of Macau's residents and has been listed by Unesco as "critically endangered". Patuá was once spoken by many Macanese - the Eurasians who acted as the Portuguese colony's administrators and interpreters and who today are trying to hold onto a distinct cultural identity in the predominantly Chinese city. "It's part of us. It keeps us connected to our ancestors and our roots," says Ms Cardoso, a 33-year old Portuguese and Cantonese speaker who joined the theatre troupe two years ago. She remembers her uncles speaking in Patuá but learnt the language during rehearsals from the play's writer and director Miguel Senna Fernandes, an energetic lawyer who has spearheaded efforts to preserve and revive the language. His theatre company is called " Dóci Papiaçám de Macau" or "Macau's sweet speech" after the local name for the language. Mr Fernandes's own fascination with the language was triggered as boy, when he would watch his grandmother chatting with her friends. "They were a bunch of old ladies and they would talk and they would laugh, laugh, laugh and laugh and I wondered what they were laughing about and why they were laughing so hard." Source: Macau 2011 census But aware that Patuá was frowned upon by Macau's Portuguese rulers, Mr Fernandes' grandmother was reluctant to translate, instead exhorting him to learn Portuguese. "Because of this kind of thinking we really just tossed out a very interesting language," he says. Mr Fernandes eventually mastered Patuá and revived an old custom of staging plays in the language. and has been writing and directing performances for the past 19 years. Mario Pinharanda Nunes, a specialist in Portuguese-based creoles at the University of Macau, says Patuá dates back to the 16th Century when the first Portuguese traders arrived in Macau. They came from Malacca in Malaysia where a related creole - Papia Kristang - is still spoken by a small number of people, he says. The language evolved as Portuguese mixed with the local Chinese population. Unlike the British colonisers in nearby Hong Kong, the Portuguese frequently married local women, who converted to Catholicism. As public education became more widespread, Patua became a language of the home rather than the workplace, and its decline began to accelerate in the early years of the 20th Century when Lisbon adopted a policy pushing the proper use of Portuguese in its colonies. "That's when the community really started putting the creole aside and learning Portuguese," Mr Nunes says. The language's foundation is Portuguese, although there are no rolled Rs. The grammar and syntax are closer to Cantonese: words are repeated for emphasis and verbs are not conjugated. Mr Fernandes says that one of his favourite words is boniteza - an archaic Portuguese word for beauty. Another word, min chi, reflects the arrival of the British in Hong Kong. A dish of minced meat, eggs and rice, it derives from a Cantonese pronunciation of the English word mince. Unesco's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger says there were 50 speakers of the language left in 2000. Mr Nunes believes that number may be in the hundreds if the Macanese diaspora in the US, Canada, Brazil and Australia are included. However, unlike Malacca's Portuguese-based creole, Patuá is no longer passed from one generation to the next. "I think revitalisation might be a step too far. It's hard to imagine that it could be a mother tongue again," he says of Patuá's chances of survival. "But it could be learnt at a basic level for heritage purposes." The Macau government designated Patuá part of the territory's "intangible cultural heritage" earlier this year. And with the help of Mr Fernandes, researchers at Macau university have completed a Patuá dictionary and are working on a grammar as they scramble to document the language before the last native speakers die out. This year's Patuá performance took ghosts as its theme and is called "Aqui Tem Diabo", which Mr Fernandes has translated into English as Spooky Doo. It's a series of vignettes that take a lighthearted look at modern day life in Macau and poke fun at the foibles of the Macanese - such as the devoted Catholic lady who consults a feng shui expert on the location of her husband's grave. Another sketch that drew much laughter lambasted the manners of hoards of Chinese tourists who come to the city to gamble. For retired teacher Maria João Rangel and her daughter Sofia, Macanese who now live in Portugal, it was an enjoyable night out: "Every year we come back and I think it's great that they are trying to keep the old traditions alive," says Maria. The performance includes sketches in Cantonese to appeal to a broader audience and is subtitled in Portuguese, English and Chinese. But with just 8,000 out of Macau's population of half a million identifying themselves as of Portuguese descent the audience is limited, as the dozens of empty seats testified. Mr Fernandes, however, is optimistic. He is encouraged by the number of younger people who are joining his theatre group - eager to discover their roots as Macau changes fast under Chinese rule. "The plays have triggered some long-forgotten memories and raised awareness of something quite ancient that is worth reviving," he says. And in doing that, they may just have kept Patuá off its deathbed. Arktos shares an enclosure with Walker at the Highland Wildlife Park at Kincraig, near Aviemore. Next year, Arktos could be paired up with a female. But the process of finding a suitable mate is far from simple. Arktos, right, is a year older than Walker. He arrived at the park in April 2012 from a zoo in Hannover, Germany. Walker has been at the site since November 2010, after being introduced from a Dutch zoo. The two are the only polar bears in a UK zoo. The Highland Wildlife Park's other residents include wolves, bison, lynx, wildcats and snow monkeys. In 2011, the park had hopes of pairing up Walker with a mate but that plan was put on ice following suspicions that she was already pregnant. The new female bear would be genetically compatible with both Walker and Arktos. However, Arktos is regarded as "slightly more genetically important," according to the park. That is because he has fewer relations in the European zoo population, lowering the risk of inbreeding. The park's Douglas Richardson recently attended a meeting of the European Zoo Association's polar bear breeding programme species committee. A range of matters were discussed, including how best to pair up males and females for breeding. During the meeting, a female was recommended for the Highland Wildlife Park. Mr Richardson said: "We have specialised software which allows us to make complicated decisions. It looks at inbreeding coefficients, degree of relatedness, age of the animals and whether a bear is of a rare bloodline or a common one. This is stuff that would take three days to work out with pen and paper. A document has been produced and given to all the zoos. But it is like being in a chain for buying a house. It could be the female bear recommended is already being prepared for another mate, or has a health condition. If one thing breaks in the chain, it affected the whole process." The park has set aside space for a new enclosure for the female. Depending on funding, the bear could be in Scotland next year. Mr Richardson said: "Getting the female pregnant is not the hardest part - most zoos with bears have cubs. Persuading the female to rear her cubs is the difficult part. They have a very exaggerated need for privacy. We are confident the enclosure we are planning at the park would give her that." The Bosse family's story was told by Heini Gruffudd, the Welsh language winner of Wales Book of the Year 2013. His mother, Kate Bosse-Griffiths, was of Jewish decent and fled to Swansea during the reign of the Third Reich. The street in Wittenberg will be called Bossestrasse following Friday's ceremony. Mr Gruffudd's grandfather Paul Bosse was a prominent doctor in the town, but the family were targeted by Adolf Hitler's regime because his wife, Kaethe, had Jewish family. Mr Bosse lost his job and Mrs Bosse died at Ravensbrück concentration camp on 16 December 1944. The ceremony to rename the street falls on the same date and 19 family members from three generations will be there. Mr Gruffudd said: "The renaming is way of commemorating them, and it's also a small recognition of how they suffered under the Nazi regime." Prof Dr Hans-Jurgen Grabbe of Wittenberg has been the main force behind efforts to rename the street. He read an English translation of the book, Yr Erlid (The Persecution), and got in touch with Mr Gruffudd - and is now working on a German-language adaptation, due out in early 2017. "I became not only interested, but moved by the story," Prof Grabbe told BBC's Cymru Fyw. "I hit upon the idea of renaming the street - it's to remember not only the doctor [Paul Bosse] but also his wife." According to Prof Grabbe, the vote to rename the street in the town council was "almost unanimous". "It's a gesture of atonement," he said. "But the gesture of reconciliation from Heini and his relatives is also important." The men, aged 26 and 23, from Portsmouth and women, aged 23 from Farnborough and 29 from Greenwich, can be held until 28 October. They were all arrested on 14 October on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism. Six people were originally arrested on 14 October. A man aged 57 and a woman, 48, both from Portsmouth, have been bailed until December. Police said the arrests were related to the conflict in Syria and were "not linked to any immediate threat to local communities". Ross Donahoe, of Altiskane, Strabane, appeared in court charged with raping a 19-year-old woman on 22 March. He is also charged with attempting to rape a 15-year-old girl on 7 April while on police bail for the earlier offence. He was remanded in custody at Enniskillen Magistrates Court. Objecting to bail, a police officer said the 19-year-old woman had identified him as the man who had twice raped her last month in the grounds of Strabane Health Centre. Mr Donahoe was arrested later that day and admitted there had been sexual contact between him and the woman but claimed it was consensual. He was released on police bail. The officer said the 15-year-old claimed the accused had tried to rape her after she and a friend had gone drinking to an older man's flat on Easter Monday. A defence solicitor said his client appreciated the seriousness of the offences and realised that "by breaching police bail he has put himself in a precarious position". The judge told the accused he was concerned that while he was on police bail there was a second allegation and a witness "who is in fear of you". He was remanded in custody to appear at Strabane court by video link on 7 May. Jones died on Friday in a New York hospital after a battle with pancreatic cancer, her representative said. Despite her powerhouse voice, Jones failed to make a breakthrough for decades until a recording session led to a Dap-Kings album in 2002. The band later won a Grammy nomination and performed at Glastonbury. British producer Mark Ronson was among those paying tribute. He used the Dap-Kings as the backing band for another soul revival star, Amy Winehouse, on her breakthrough album Back to Black, released in 2006. He said: "Sharon Jones had one of the most magnificent, gut-wrenching voices of anyone in recent time." Members of the band were at her bedside when she died, her representative, Judy Miller Silverman, said. The cancer was diagnosed in 2013 but failed to stop Jones performing during periods of remission. "It's therapy,'' she said in July. "I know I need rest and sleep. But I want to work and that is our job. "`You got to be brave. I want to use the time that I have. I don't want to spend it all laid up, wishing I had done that gig," she told Associated Press. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings - BBC artist page Barbara Kopple, who directed the documentary Miss Sharon Jones! released this year, said the singer even lit up hospital wards when she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment. She said: "When people are around or there's an audience, that gives her fuel and she forgets her pain." Jones was born in Augusta, Georgia, in 1956 and sang in gospel choirs and backing bands. However, real success eluded her and she took many jobs, including as a corrections officer at the Rikers Island jail. But a recording session performance led to the formation of the Dap-Kings and the release of Dap-Dippin' With Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings in 2002, when Jones was 46. Six more albums followed, including the Grammy-nominated Give the People What They Want. A statement, quoted by state-affiliated FBC website, lists arrests in the Oromia and Amhara regions, which have recently seen massive demonstrations. This is in addition to Monday's arrests of 1,000 people near the capital. A six-month state of emergency has been declared in the face of a wave of unprecedented anti-government protests. Under the emergency measures, people can be detained without an arrest warrant for the duration of the state of emergency. FBC reports that a total of 1,683 people have been arrested in at least five places, including in Shashamene, 250km (155 miles) south of the capital, Addis Ababa, where 450 people have been detained. It describes most of those arrested as "suspects in the recent violence" and adds that a large number of looted weapons had also been handed over. Some business people have been detained for closing their shops, as have three teachers for "abandoning school". There is no mention where the people are being held. Rights groups say that at least 500 people have died during the anti-government protests over the last 11 months as a result of clashes with security forces. Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said last week that could be an accurate estimate, but blamed "anti-peace forces" for the trouble. Activists have targeted commercial property, including some foreign-owned businesses. These include warehouses and factories in the town of Sebeta, near Addis Ababa, which were set alight during recent protests, the authorities say. On Monday, the mayor of the town told FBC that 1,000 people had been arrested in connection with those attacks. He later told the AP news agency that some of those had been released. Source: FBC Seven things you can no longer do in Ethiopia The recent wave of demonstrations began in Oromia last November with people there protesting against a plan to expand Addis Ababa into their region. That plan has since been dropped, but the protests have continued. There have also been demonstrations in the country's Amhara region. The state of emergency was declared on 9 October a week after at least 55 people died in a stampede during an Oromo religious festival which turned into a protest. Activists blamed the security forces for causing the panic, but the government said protesters in the crowd were responsible. Human rights groups have in the past criticised Ethiopia for suppressing dissent. In last year's general election, every seat was won by either a member of the governing EPRDF coalition or one of the party's allies. The government has recently proposed reforms to the electoral system so that opposition politicians have a better chance of being elected. The incident happened on the A6094 at Rosewell at about 22:40 on Thursday. The male rider, 64, and his female passenger, 59, were pronounced dead at the scene. The 26-year-old male driver of the BMW 116 involved in the crash was not seriously injured. The road has been closed as investigations are carried out. Police have appealed for witnesses. Mieko Nagaoka, who only took up swimming at the age of 82, already holds the record in her age category for the same distance in a 50m pool. She completed the latest feat in just over one hour and 15 minutes, using backstroke all the way. She was the only person taking part in her age range - 100 to 104 - at the competition in Matsuyama on Saturday. Nagaoka already dominates the world record board for her age group, as awarded by the international swimming federation (Fina), holding 24 titles over both short and long distances. Her latest achievement is now expected to be recognised by Guinness World Records. Nagaoka began swimming as therapy for her knees, but was soon training several times a week. She has since attended swimming competitions around the world, and said her family are also swimmers. After turning 100 last year, she released a book entitled: I'm 100 years old and the world's best active swimmer. She told Japan's Kyodo news agency: "I want to swim until I turn 105 if I can live that long." Japan has a rapidly rising aging population, and with 59,000 centenarians on official records in 2014. Last week, Japanese woman Misao Okawa, the oldest person in the world, died. She was 117. The National Union of Teachers heard warnings of a "crisis" in schools struggling to recruit teachers. Teachers warned of excessive workload and inadequate pay damaging both recruitment and retention. A Department for Education spokesman said: "We're investing hundreds of millions in teacher recruitment." The National Union of Teachers' conference in Brighton heard warnings about the recruitment problems facing schools. Christine Blower, the union's leader, described it as a "desperately serious situation". "The causes of the retention problem are clear: workload, workload, workload - for not enough pay," said Ms Blower. The conference backed a motion promising "support for members up to and including strike action" for any teachers facing worse conditions because of staff shortages. Mark Taylor from Birmingham said he worked as a supply teacher and had been in schools where a third of staff were now supply teachers, because schools could not recruit full-time staff. Paul Mcgarr from east London said teachers did not go into the profession for money, but the worsening quality of their working lives was driving people to leave. There were also warnings that teachers' salaries had not kept up with rising costs, such as housing. Ceinwen Hilton from Islington in north London said that for inner-city areas the price of housing was proving a "serious cause of hardship" for teachers. She described a young teacher who was sharing a room, in a shared house, with the single room costing £1,000 per month. She said that many teachers were now renting from private landlords and in London the cost was becoming unaffordable, forcing teachers out of the capital. The union conference highlighted teacher shortages and concerns about school funding as the "two most serious threats" to the quality of education. Delegates backed calls to make teacher shortages a spending priority, rather than "diverting money to politically motivated policies" such as academies and free schools. They also accused the changes to training routes into teaching as being "chaotic". But the Department for Education rejected the claims, saying that there had already been substantial spending on recruitment and that school vacancies were not unusually high. "We're investing hundreds of millions in teacher recruitment and the vacancy rate has remained low at around 1% over the last 15 years," said an education department spokesman. "In fact, last year we recruited 116% of our primary schools target, and the pupil teacher ratio has remained stable when compared to 2010. "We know unnecessary workload is one of the biggest frustrations for teachers and have done more than ever to tackle this by publishing the results of the three workload review groups on marking, planning and data collection - the three biggest concerns raised by teachers through the workload challenge - and accepting all their recommendations." Media playback is not supported on this device Germany stormed into a 2-0 lead but Mark Gleghorne pulled one back for England before half-time. Phil Roper then equalised with a deft finish before Adam Dixon put England ahead from a penalty corner. Germany replied with goals from Lukas Windfeder and Anton Boekel, which means England must beat Ireland in their final pool match to make the semis. Ireland, who beat Poland 7-1 earlier on Monday, are level on four points with Germany at the top of the pool. They need a point to progress to the semi-finals when they face England on Wednesday. England: George Pinner (GK,C), David Ames, Liam Sanford, Henry Weir, Harry Martin, Mark Gleghorne, Phil Roper, Adam Dixon, Brendan Creed, David Goodfield, David Condon, Subs (Used): Ollie Willars, Ian Sloan, Michael Hoare, Sam Ward, Barry Middleton, Chris Griffiths Michael and Kai Geldard had planned to sell the Crask Inn in Lairg, but have instead handed it over to their local Scottish Episcopal Church. The couple are members of the church's congregation. The inn, which has four bedrooms, is to continue to be run as a pub and as a bed and breakfast, but will also be used for religious services. It is to be run by Douglas Campbell, a Eucharistic minister, and his GP wife Denise. They are planning to move from Hopeman in Moray in April. Mr Campbell, who is personal assistant to the Right Reverend Mark Strange, the Episcopalian Bishop of the United Diocese of Moray, Ross and Caithness, said neither he or his wife had run a pub before but were looking forward to the new challenge. This is the longstanding issue of whether MPs with seats in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales should continue to be allowed to vote on legislation and other matters at Westminster that will only affect people in England. Sounds familiar. Didn't it used to be called something else? Yes, it used to be known as the "West Lothian Question". The phrase was actually coined by Enoch Powell, the former Conservative minister and Ulster Unionist MP. But the issue is most closely associated with Labour MP Tam Dalyell, who in 1977 highlighted what he saw as a dilemma caused by devolution - that Scottish MPs would carry on voting on English issues but English MPs wouldn't have a say on matters in Scotland. So why has it taken so long for anyone to try to find an answer? If you've ever read 1066 and All That, you'll know that William Gladstone spent years trying to guess the answer to the Irish Question only to find that whenever he got close the question changed. To be fair the English Question has never really changed, but no one can agree on the answer. Some people have argued that there should be an English Parliament. That isn't what the prime minister is talking about. He wants to see changes in how the existing Westminster Parliament does its business. It is not the first time someone's tried to work out a solution to this question. In 2008, a committee chaired by the former Conservative Chancellor, Kenneth Clarke, shied away from banning MPs from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland from voting on English matters. Instead the group proposed changes to parliamentary procedure so that only English MPs would be able to make changes to legislation that only affected people in England. But all MPs would be able to take part in the final vote. Last year the McKay Commission, chaired by a former Commons Clerk, Sir William McKay, proposed that the Commons should accept that decisions affecting England should normally only be taken if a majority of English MPs agreed. But the Commission rejected the idea that MPs from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, should be banned from voting on legislation because it thought this would create different classes of MP. What do the different parties think of all this? David Cameron has made it clear he wants a decisive answer to the English Question. Plenty of Conservatives have made it clear they favour a system of English votes for English laws. In other words a solution that builds on and perhaps goes further than the proposals from Kenneth Clarke and Sir William McKay. It's much more difficult for Labour. The party's chances of getting a majority at Westminster could rest on its Scottish MPs. A solution that prevents MPs from outside England voting on certain issues could make life very difficult for a future Labour government. Labour has described Mr Cameron's plan as a "knee-jerk reaction". The Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, says it would be "unfair" to leave Westminster out of what he calls the "rewiring" of the British constitution. But earlier this week, the Lib Dem Treasury Minister Danny Alexander said taking away the voting rights of Scottish MPs wasn't part of the agenda and wasn't going to happen. Reginald "Rex" Warneford received the Victoria Cross (VC) after becoming the first British pilot to shoot down a German Zeppelin in 1915. Memorials will be revealed in Exmouth, Devon, and Highworth, Wiltshire, towns connected to him and his family. A school where he boarded in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, is also remembering his deeds with a plaque. The man who destroyed a 'baby-killer' The government had previously decided to lay commemorative paving stones in the home towns of 480 British-born VC recipients, but Indian-born Warneford was excluded. However, he lived in England at King Edward VI School, in Stratford-upon-Avon, and Highworth, for a time, as his family owned Warneford Place in Sevenhampton. The Department for Communities and Local Government agreed to allow the stones to be laid after a campaign. As well as the Victoria Cross, which is on display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovil, Somerset, the French awarded him the Knight's Cross Legion d'Honneur. The town of Exmouth adopted the war hero as its own and a flagstone will be laid there in the Strand Gardens. Another stone will also be unveiled after a civic service in Highworth, Wiltshire. One of Swindon's best-performing schools, Warneford Comprehensive in Highworth, is also named after him. Warneford's niece, Faye Erskine, will unveil the commemorative stone at King Edward VI School's guildhall on Monday. Headmaster Bennet Carr said: "This memorial will ensure that Rex's conspicuous bravery will be remembered for generations to come." The girl's skull was fractured in 2012 when she fell from the queue for the Tomb Blaster ride. Guildford Crown Court was told that water dripping from a roof had rotted fence posts lining the queue to the ride. The theme park will be sentenced on Monday. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) brought the prosecution accusing it of failing to properly inspect and maintain fences. It said there had been systemic failures by Chessington in the way it maintained the queuing area and that it failed to record its maintenance schedule although the route was checked every day. The court was told that on the day the girl, from Kent, was injured another family further up in the queue had to grab their daughter by her coat to stop her falling over the fence. The call follows reports that civilians have been killed in Turkish raids on PKK targets which resumed a week ago. Turkey's official news agency says about 260 Kurdish fighters have been killed in strikes in northern Iraq and Turkey itself since then. The PKK has not released any casualty figures. Turkey has carried out hundreds of raids on the rebel group's bases on both sides of the Iraq-Turkey border. Explainer: Turkey v Islamic State v the Kurds At the same time, it is bombing Islamic State militants in Syria in an effort to push them back from Turkey's borders. Turkey had not previously been involved in fighting in Syria's conflict. Further Turkish air raids were reported overnight, this time in the Rawanduz area east of Erbil, capital of Iraq's Kurdish region. At least six people were killed and several more wounded in the town of Zarkel, local officials said. They reportedly included at least two women. An Iraq-based PKK activist told Associated Press that at least six homes were destroyed and eight civilians were killed. "We condemn this bombardment that led to the martyrdom of people from the Kurdistan region and call on Turkey not to bombard civilians again," Iraqi Kurdish President Massoud Barzani said in a statement. Urging the PKK to withdraw its fighters from civilian areas in the region, he said the separatists "must keep the battlefield away from the Kurdistan region in order for civilians not to become victims of this war". The statement also called on the Turkish government and the PKK to resume peace talks. The strikes against PKK camps in northern Iraq, which began last week, were the first since March 2013, when a ceasefire was called. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last week that it was "not possible to continue the peace process with those who threaten our national unity and brotherhood". Turkey and a number of Western countries regard the PKK as a terrorist organisation. 20 February 2016 Last updated at 14:14 GMT The rocket, called 'Unity', is the latest version of the Virgin Galactic Spaceship. It will carry six passengers, and is designed to travel nearly 100 kilometres up into space. 700 people have already signed up for a trip, even though it's not yet been announced when the first flight will take place. Armed police were stationed among spectators at the Great Manchester Run, the latest large-scale event to take place since Monday's suicide bombing. A huge round of applause for the emergency services followed a minute's silence for the victims and casualties. Runners set off under the banner #RunForManchester. 'I'm running for Manchester' CCTV shows bomber before arena blast Muslim community organises 'peace walk' £13k raised in 'buy 999 staff a drink' drive Family's tribute to 'just lovely' Nell Watch: Great Manchester Run "I heart Manchester" signs were dotted around the city, while runners and spectators are wearing yellow ribbons and bee symbols in a show of solidarity. Oasis hit Don't Look Back in Anger was played on the loudspeakers following the minute's silence, a song which was spontaneously performed by a crowd after a silence in St Ann's Square in central Manchester on Thursday. Poet Tony Walsh, who performs as Longfella, also read out his inspirational verse "Do Something" to the crowds. Early arrivals for the 10k race found more police than runners, their vans clustered around Portland Street and the start line. But as the junior run got under way there was little sign of trepidation among the crowd. Kids were smiling, their parents nervous. For security reasons? No, because they feared getting pipped to the line by their 10-year-old. As more runners arrived in the city, many of them streaming off trams at St Peter's Square, some admitted to a level of anxiety about the events of Monday. One man told me he didn't want his wife and child to support him because of the presence of all the armed police. But their presence is a reassuring one, and the smiles on their faces are also etched on those competitors striding towards the start line. Asked why he was running, one man - Brian Leigh, 47, from Sale - summed it perfectly. "I'm running because I'm proud to be Mancunian." Greater Manchester Police (GMP) gave the go-ahead for Sunday's athletics event, with additional security measures in force. It included Europe's largest 10km run and, for the first time, a half-marathon. Insp Phil Spurgeon, of GMP, said he wanted to encourage everyone to see Manchester as "open for business" and thanked people for their support towards his officers and staff since Monday. "Support has come in many forms, from hugs and kind words to boxes of pizzas being delivered to police stations," he said. "Just today, a lady who wanted to do her 'bit' for Manchester has arranged for a delivery of 2,400 tea bags to be brought to us to be able to make a warm brew after patrols." He added: "Regardless of the support that we're receiving it's so important that we remember the people who matter most in this - the people who have lost their lives and their loved ones, and the people who were injured. "We're thinking about you all." Manchester City Council leader Richard Leese said: "It was not whether it was going to happen but how we could make it happen. "We're all here for one reason. It is an act of defiance, an act of solidarity. It's a community coming together to share grief and to say Manchester will not be beaten by terrorism. "People really want to be here to stand up to be counted. Seeking strength in each other." Great Manchester Run's event director, Charlie Mussett said: "Manchester's not the same place this week. The event is not the same event. "It's a bit different and we're reflecting that in the tone and content of the event and showing respect for victims and families and the horror that the city has seen. "Equally we have people coming here to run a half marathon or a 10km and we're hoping to lift their spirits as best as we possibly can. "I think it's incredibly emotional." Earlier, CCTV images showing suicide bomber Salman Abedi on the night of the attack were released by Greater Manchester Police. Twelve men remain in custody on suspicion of terror offences. Of the 116 people who received NHS inpatient care in the days immediately after the attack, 54 continue to be treated across eight hospitals. Nineteen are in critical care, NHS England added. Athletics legend Brendan Foster, founder of the Greater Manchester Run said: "All of our feelings this morning have been about the 22 people who died, their families and that terrible atrocity. "But today is about not doing what [the terrorists] want us to do, change our way of life, be frightened, the people of Manchester are saying this is our city, you're not going to take away our independence. We are providing the stage for that." David Wyeth from Chorlton Runners, who famously struggled near the end of the London Marathon and was helped by fellow competitor Matthew Rees, along with an official to the finish line, was among the participants along with Mr Rees. Mr Wyeth said: "[Some of our running club] members who were there on Monday evening would have been running today but for some of them it is too much to be in the city right now so soon after. "For me, someone not directly affected, I see this as a wonderful opportunity to come together with everyone. "It was such a difficult decision... but the fact it is going ahead is brilliant because people need this. This year, the 15th year, is going to be special." Dawn Nisbet, running the 10k for charity, said: "The atmosphere is phenomenal. "The cheering and supporting is amazing. "The amount of people who have come out to support the spirit of Manchester is humbling. There was a minute's silence and I don't think there was a dry eye." Ion Anghel, 48, of Sherwood Street, Wolverhampton, admitted the theft at an earlier hearing at Lincoln Crown Court. The victim had his card stolen after being distracted by three men while withdrawing cash from a NatWest bank in Grantham on 14 December. The man's details were later used to transfer the money from his account. Sentencing Anghel, Judge Simon Hirst told him: "You deliberately targeted a vulnerable victim. You found the most vulnerable person you could in Grantham that day. "This was a sophisticated offence. The way you acted as a team must inevitably mean you and your associates practiced what you were going to do." Lincolnshire Police said "inquiries were ongoing in relation to any other individuals suspected of being involved." Det Insp Simon Bromiley said it was a targeted crime committed against a vulnerable war veteran. He said: "He [the victim] is a very proud man, who has shown a great deal of courage through out. "It is sickening that a man who has conducted himself so well throughout his life should be subjected to such a callous and wicked crime," he added. Anghel, who is originally from Romania, has convictions for similar offences in both Italy and Denmark, police said. There is also an arrest warrant in place for him in France.

The transport ministry said Denpasar airport would remain closed until at least 16:00 (08:00 GMT). Mount Raung in East Java has been spewing ash into the air for nearly a week, raising concerns it could interfere with aircraft safety. Bali is a top destination for tourists and many have been stranded. The airport had been reopened on Saturday as the ash lifted but the wind has now brought it back. "We will continue to monitor developments and decide if the closure will be extended later," transport ministry spokesman JA Barata told Agence France-Presse. Mount Raung is about 120km (75 miles) from Denpasar airport. East Java's Blimbingsari and Notohadinegoro airports were also earlier affected. Lombok's international airport, and a smaller one on the island, were reopened earlier on Friday. Hundreds of flights have been postponed indefinitely or cancelled by airlines. Analysis: Chris Davies, Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Darwin, Australia This volcano has been erupting for about a week and it's been streaming ash constantly. It's not an explosive eruption, just a constant stream and because the summit is so high it doesn't 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. 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, like we say with the BA 009. Travellers left stranded in Bali Ash cloud delays: What are your rights? The BBC's Alice Budisatrijo in Jakarta says the airport closures could not have come at a worse time, as the islands are popular with foreign and domestic tourists in the middle of the school holiday season. Indonesians are also starting to travel home for the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, so the disruption of flights to the smaller airports are being felt by many families, says our correspondent.

The airport on the Indonesian island of Bali has been forced to shut again due to ash from a volcanic eruption, authorities say.

2 February 2016 Last updated at 13:24 GMT In 2008, BBC News NI reporter Mervyn Jess took a tour of the underground shelter that was kitted out to house more than 200 people in the event of a nuclear attack.

Northern Ireland's political leaders are selling their nuclear bunker which was built in Ballymena, County Antrim, during the Cold War.

The fourth instalment in Michael Bay's franchise took $100m (£58.8m) despite generally poor reviews from critics. It also added another $201.3m (£118.2m) from 37 international territories, including $90m (£52.9m) in China alone. The film stars Mark Wahlberg as a mechanic who helps the shape-shifting Autobots fight a new enemy. Made for a reported $200m (£117.5m), Age of Extinction met industry predictions for its opening weekend. It topped Dark of the Moon, the third film in the series, which took in $97.9m (£57.5m) in its opening weekend in 2011, but failed to eclipse the $108.9m (£64m) debut of the second film, Revenge of the Fallen. It is expected to secure a strong second week of release, coinciding with the 4 July US holiday weekend. "I think putting Mark Wahlberg front and centre accomplished what we wanted to do, and that's re-energise the franchise," Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore said. "He appeals to audiences, both critically and as an action star." The three previous Transformer outings starring Shia LeBeouf as a teenager who befriends robot Optimus Prime, generated nearly $2.7bn (£1.6bn) worldwide. Elsewhere on the chart, 22 Jump Street held firm at number two with $15.4m (£9m), with animation How To Train Your Dragon 2 at three with $13.1m (£7.7m) in box office takings. Last week's chart topper, Kevin Hart comedy Think Like a Man Too, fell to four with $10.4m (£6.1m). Maleficent - Disney's take on Sleeping Beauty starring Angelina Jolie - was at five with $8.2m (£4.8m), bringing its total domestic US gross to more than $201m (£118m) and its international haul to $586m (£344m). The military veteran and Buddhist convert had a history of violent outbursts and paranoia, and etchings on the shotgun Alexis used in the attack shed light on his mental state. On Wednesday, Valerie Parlave, head of the FBI's field office in Washington, said an electronic document belonging to the gunman indicated he had held delusional beliefs for months prior to the shooting. "Ultra low frequency attack is what I've been subject to for the last 3 months, and to be perfectly honest that is what has driven me to this," Alexis, 34, reportedly wrote. Alexis also etched phrases, including "End to the torment", "Not what y'all say", and "Better off this way" into the sawed-off Remington 870 shotgun he wielded in the attack. Ms Parlave said the FBI investigation indicated Alexis had not targeted particular people at the Navy Yard, and that he was prepared to die and "accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions". These are the latest details to emerge about Alexis' troubled past. Little is known about New York-born Alexis' life before 2004, when he was arrested in Seattle for shooting the tyres of a construction worker's vehicle - in what he later described as an enraged "blackout". His father told Seattle detectives after the incident that his son had been involved in rescue efforts during the 9/11 attacks in New York, and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result. In August 2008, he was arrested for disorderly conduct in the state of Georgia, according to the Smoking Gun, a website that collects police and court documents. In 2010, police were called to Alexis' apartment in Fort Worth, after an upstairs neighbour reported he had almost shot her through the floor. He told police his gun accidentally discharged while he was cleaning it, and no charges were filed. Defence officials said Alexis served as a full-time reservist in the Navy from 2007-11, attaining the rank of petty officer 3rd class. Posted at Fort Worth, Texas, he received two routine awards, the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. After his discharge Alexis began pursuing a bachelor's degree in aeronautics through online classes and worked at a Thai restaurant in Fort Worth, where he was popular among the customers. A former Fort Worth roommate, who described Alexis as his "best friend", said he was shocked by the news. "I don't think he'd do this," Nutpisit Suthamtewakul, owner of Happy Bowl Thai restaurant, where Alexis had worked, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper. "He has a gun, but I don't think he's that stupid," Mr Suthamtewakul said. Bud Kennedy, a columnist for the newspaper, told the BBC: "He was a quiet fellow and always nice and genteel." Alexis attended a Buddhist temple in a suburb of Fort Worth, and had reportedly converted to the faith. J Sirun, an assistant to the monks at the temple, told the Washington Post: "He did not like to be close with anybody, like a soldier who has been at war." Alexis had been helpful to others at the temple, Mr Sirun told the newspaper, but at least one person there avoided him because he seemed too tightly wound. At the time of the shooting, he was employed by a subcontractor working on a US Navy intranet network and had a valid pass to enter Washington Navy Yard. A month before the shootings, while working as a contractor in Newport, Rhode Island, Alexis called police to his hotel room, while suffering an apparent paranoid episode. He told officers someone he had argued with while boarding a plane in Virginia had sent three people to follow him. Alexis believed they were using a microwave machine to send vibrations into his body so he could not sleep. He checked into several hotels in order to evade them, according to media reports. Here's my rundown of the week ahead: The Commons opens at 14:30 ( GMT) with defence questions and remains on that subject for some hours, as the prime minister announces the findings of the 2015 national security strategy and the strategic defence review (he also handled the announcement of the 2010 review). This is a delicate issue across the chamber. There are plenty of Conservatives who are deeply uneasy about the state of the armed forces, even as they hoot at Labour's unilateralist leadership. A key concern is meeting the NAT0 target of 2 per cent of GDP for defence expenditure, but expect some rigorous scrutiny of what is counted towards that total; pensions? Some international aid spending? Meanwhile Labour has some stark divisions of its own, with pro-nuclear MP John Woodcock chairing a backbench policy group, could this be an early example of different lines coming from the chair of the backbench policy group and from the official party spokesperson, Maria Eagle. In addition, the defence select committee is due to publish a report previewing the review on Saturday 21st, expect committee chair Julian Lewis and his members to "mark the card" of the SDSR against their recommendations. Then the government will seek to ram through all stages of the Northern Ireland Welfare Reform Bill, a product of the latest all-party deal to keep devolved administration going, in a single gulp. The bill has government and Labour support and the support of the biggest Northern Ireland party, the DUP, but the UUP and SDLP have reservations. In the Lords business in the chamber opens at 14.30 ( GMT) with the arrival of two more MPs-turned Peers, in this case the Liberal Democrat veteran Lord (Alan) Beith and the Conservative former minister Lord (David "Two Brains") Willetts. Question time will be followed by a repeat of the defence review statement and watch out for the thoughts of the legion of heavyweight defence and security experts, ex-ministers, generals, admirals, spies and diplomats, on the red benches. Then legislating resumes with more detailed report-stage scrutiny of the European Union Referendum Bill. There are several amendments from peers on both sides of the argument calling for reports on various aspects of the decision on EU membership; the former senior diplomat, Lord Hannay, with cross-party support, calls for a report on what "Brexit" will look like (consequences of withdrawal), and similarly, Lord Kerr calls for a report on alternatives to EU membership, in the event of withdrawal. The Crossbencher Lord Green of Deddington calls for a report on the implications of remaining within the EU, for net migration and on the continuation of EU rules on free movement. The Conservative Lord Forsyth wants a requirement to publish a report on the outcome of negotiations and any resulting changes in the relationship between Britain and the EU. At the moment the expectation is that none of these amendments will be pushed to a vote. Finally the Liberal Democrat Lord Tyler aims a barb at the government in the form of a regret motion on the draft Northern Ireland (Elections) (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2015. His point is that the order postpones changes to electoral registration in Northern Ireland, while the government is pressing ahead with similar changes elsewhere; he accuses ministers of seeking party advantage outside Northern Ireland. The Commons meets at 11.30 ( GMT) for Foreign Office questions. The main debates are on SNP motions on trident and the closure of HMRC offices, the first of those is clearly intended to put Labour in an awkward position In Westminster Hall (9.30 - 11:00 GMT) the Conservative Chris Heaton-Harris leads a debate on world prematurity day, 15 million babies are born prematurely each year and around a million do not survive. In the afternoon the subject is funding for the community and voluntary sector (14.30 - 16:00 GMT) in a debate led by Labour's Naz Shah. In the Lords, from 14.30(GMT) the day's new peers are a brace of Labour former Welsh secretaries, Lord Murphy of Torfaen and Lord Hain The key debate is the second reading of the Scotland Bill, the key issues are powers to set some taxes, including rates of income tax, as well as the devolution of some elements of the welfare system, and of abortion policy. A major point of interest will be how the government responds to the Lords Economic Affairs Committee's call for the detailed scrutiny of the bill to be postponed until the government has announced the financial side of devolution, the fiscal framework. If they don't satisfy the committee members they will put down a formal motion to postpone the committee Stage... but with Labour broadly satisfied with the bill and keen to speed it onto the statute book, such a motion may well not attract enough support. Then the fast-tracked Northern Ireland Bill, fresh from the Commons will be put through all its stages of debate. It's another very big day in the Commons (from 11.30 GMT) where MPs kick off with Northern Ireland questions, followed, at noon by prime minister's question time. But then comes the announcement of the autumn statement and comprehensive spending review, the government's big package of spending cuts and priority shifts. The absolutely central issue here is how the chancellor responds to the House of Lords defeat on tax credits and concern on his own backbenches about the issue. How big will the changes be, will there be additional funds for, for example, the NHS and the police, and where will any extra money be raised to pay for them? In the Lords (15:00 GMT) the usual half hour of questions to ministers will be followed by a repeat of the autumn statement. There will be a full debate on it on December 3rd. Then peers will move on to report stage consideration of the Enterprise Bill, there is talk of a possible government concession on the role of the small business commissioner heading off a possible defeat. Other issues include quality apprenticeships and business rates. The Commons has a quieter day. It begins (09.30 GMT) with mini question times for the attorney general and Nicky Morgan in her role as minister for women and equalities. That's followed by the weekly Commons business statement from the leader of the House. The main debate, chosen by the backbench business committee, is on the final report of the airports commission, another of those occasions likely to pit two of the London mayoral candidates Sadiq Khan and Zac Goldsmith, against one another in a Commons debate, although both oppose Heathrow expansion. In the Lords (11:00 GMT) Liberal Democrat Baroness (Lynn) Featherstone and Conservative Lord (William) Hague of Richmond take their seats as peers. The main debates are on subjects chosen by Crossbenchers: firstly on the protection of freedom of speech in universities, and second on building a healthy society in the UK. There is a short lunch-time debate, in between, on fostering community links in the government's counter-terrorism strategy. Neither House sits on Friday. Andrew RT Davies was asked on Tuesday about the party's policy on introducing minimum funding for Wales. The Tories have denied any confusion over a funding floor being dependent on a referendum on income tax powers. Mr Davies said there was "nothing to clarify" but admitted he had not read the UK manifesto as he was "not interested" in it. The UK Conservative manifesto said the introduction of a funding floor was dependent on the assembly holding a referendum on devolving some powers to vary rates of income tax. But a party spokesman later said there was only an "expectation" an income tax referendum will be held, a position then restated in the party's Welsh manifesto. Mr Davies was asked to clarify the situation at a media briefing in the Senedd on Tuesday. He said: "There's nothing to clarify, it's in the manifesto. Our manifesto. "I haven't read the London one because I'm not interested in the London one. "It's the Wales one I'm interested in. "That's the one I endorse, that's the one that's relevant to the people of Wales." Lord Crickhowell has hailed the overall regeneration of the former derelict docklands as a major success. But he is fiercely opposed to the latest plans to redevelop land for flats, including a 24-story building. Three decades after he sparked plans for one of the biggest overhauls the city has seen, what has been achieved? Once the epicentre of Wales' booming coal and export industries, by the 1980s, Cardiff Bay had become an abandoned wasteland of derelict docks and mudflats. A victim of a dramatic fall in trade following World War Two and competition from other ports saw its decline and a plan was put in place to bring it back to life and reconnect it to the city centre. The Cardiff Bay Development Corporation (CBDC) was set up in April 1987 to regenerate the 1,100 hectares (2,700 acres) of dockland between Cardiff and Penarth. Part of the British government's Urban Development Programme - to regenerate deprived areas of inner cities - its aim was to "put Cardiff on the international map" and boost the image and economic wellbeing of the area. Its main objectives were to: The main catalyst for regeneration came with proposals for a barrage. The structure was needed to trap water from the extremely tidal Severn estuary, without which the bay would be without water for much of the day at low tide. But it was not without controversy. Many residents, politicians and conservationists were against the plan with worries including the potential flood risk to homes and the loss of habitat for wading birds and migrating wildlife. Others were concerned about its £220m cost - including then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who claimed the plan "just hasn't been worked out enough", and Labour MPs such as future First Minister Rhodri Morgan. But after four years of political battles, five failed parliamentary bills and a resignation threat from then-Welsh Secretary Nicholas Edwards, now Lord Crickhowell, work began in 1994. It was completed in 1999 and was one of the biggest engineering projects in Europe, creating a permanent 200-hectare freshwater lake. Along with it came the shops, bars and restaurants of Mermaid Quay that overlook it and later the construction of Lloyd George Avenue linking the waterfront with the city centre. Recalling the cold, wet day when he first went to assess what could be done to revitalise the area, Lord Crickhowell remembers a "vast area of dereliction". He said despite the then-South Glamorgan Council showing confidence in the bay by building its County Hall headquarters at Atlantic Wharf in 1981, the majority of the area was not in use. He said: "I suddenly realised that what we want to be doing was bringing people back to live and work and play in the area. "I think it [Cardiff Bay] has been an immense success. There's a whole generation who has no idea what it was like before. "We cannot contemplate Cardiff without the bay. It's the centre of the city - it's highly successful. "And all the critics... concerns about ground water and possible flooding and anxieties - all that was quite unjustified. "The barrage has protected Cardiff from flooding and tidal surges. It's provided protection and not a threat." Further expansion came in the years that followed, namely in the form of thousands of flats - a trend that continues in earnest today - along with a mass of office space. But its skyline was to change further in 2004 and 2006 with the opening of what could now be argued are two of its most iconic buildings. The first was Wales Millennium Centre - a dedicated opera and arts house - which opened following a 20-year campaign. But much like the barrage before it, it too was dogged with problems. It began in 1995 when an international contest was launched to find an architect for what was then called the Cardiff Bay Opera House. Iraqi-born Dame Zaha Hadid won but her project was later considered too big and risky, and it was rejected. Further concerns about the subsequent building's cost saw its size cut but it eventually opened in 2004. At the same time plans for a new home for assembly members were being developed following the formation of the National Assembly for Wales in 1999. As well as being designed with the aim of creating the most distinctive building in the country, the Senedd has won numerous design awards and achieved the highest sustainability award for a new-build in Wales. Designed by architects Lord Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour, who wanted to create an accessible building that appeared to rise on a plinth of Welsh slate from Cardiff Bay, it opened in 2006. Both buildings were eventually completed after the CBDC was wound up in 2000, but supporters believe the organisation paved the way for the bay's development which continues today. 16,750 new jobs 4,800 new flats and houses 327 hectares reclaimed land 79 hectares of open spaces 26 miles of new/upgraded roads Roger Thomas, former chairman of Cooke and Arkwright chartered surveyors, which helped advise on the feasibility of the early redevelopment, said the CBDC had left a legacy to be proud of. "I hate to think what Cardiff would be like if it hadn't been done," he said. "There was a lot of political opposition to the barrage and during the next 20 years of its life it [the bay] went through economic recessions, that doesn't help anyone, but it has put Cardiff on the European and world map." He said while early ideas to build double the four billion square feet of office space eventually developed were rightly stood down, some people's fears that too many flats were built too quickly were unfounded. He said the "completely disregarded" area around Mount Stuart Square had been "vastly improved" but admitted one "missing link" was the planned extension of the M4 to the bay via St Mellons which never came to fruition. But Cardiff Bay's revamp has not been without its critics. In 2012, award-winning planning consultant Adrian Jones stated it was a contender for the "worst example of waterside regeneration in Britain". Writing in the Bevan Foundation Review, he said its regeneration was a "dumb plan" which lacked any "coherent urban structure, of real streets or worthwhile public spaces". He claimed the bay had turned its back on the existing Butetown community and said much public money had been wasted on "vanity projects" instead of providing much-needed public housing. Housing in the bay is another area which has drawn criticism, with some questioning the need for the sheer amount of flats built. Estate agent Mike Jones fears it has been a victim of overdevelopment, claiming supply has outstripped demand for some years. "I just feel they're over building, over supplying the apartments and where they feel the market is, I'm not quite sure," he said. "If you look at property portals you will see where prices have been reduced and properties have been on for months. "When the market was on a high in 2007, 2008 people were paying £250,000 for a two-bedroom flat and 12 months later they were struggling to sell for £130,000. "The bay, I think, has been spoiled to a great extent. I think it's such a pity they built so many flats." Indeed, housing is at the centre of the latest controversy with much public opposition to Associated British Ports' (ABP) plans for a 24-storey apartment building behind the Norwegian Church. Campaigners, including Lord Crickhowell, fear it will result in the loss of parkland and will "look dreadful". He has now urged a more united approach to the bay's further expansion and called for a more collaborative input from the city council, Welsh Government and land owners. He said: "There has been a lack of any form of coordinated planning which embraces the land on the south side of the lock or to the east of the lock." "What they ought to be doing is leading a coordinated approach to planning which involves the Welsh Government." Rhys Morgan, property manager at ABP South Wales, said the development supported the council's aspiration for high quality regeneration on the waterfront. He added: "The views of local people have been central to shaping our vision for Dolffin Quay. As a result of feedback, we've made changes to our original plans to increase the size of the new park. "The scheme will also bring together other key areas undergoing regeneration as Cardiff looks to make its case as a world-class capital city." So what lies ahead for Cardiff Bay? The city council is in the process of drawing up a Cardiff Bay masterplan, which - much like the city's local development plan - will identify possible areas of development. It said the plan would aim to maximise regeneration opportunities, balancing community need while maintaining its heritage, maritime history and historic character. Among the proposals already put forward by developers are a "box city" of hotel apartments, offices and street food venues built out of shipping containers. Meri Huws said all children under seven need to be immersed in Welsh. She said Wales should earmark a window of five or 10 years to generate enough teachers - and local authorities need to be given the resources. The Welsh Government said work was already being done. Ms Huws told BBC Radio Cymru: "I would expect us to reach a million speakers. That's the aim, that's what the Welsh Government has said is going to happen and I'm hoping it does. "I don't see why it shouldn't happen as long as we start planning it today. "If we are completely serious about reaching a million, we need to radically change the education system from now on." She said Wales had lost its way to some extent with teacher training which needed to change. Welsh Language Minister Alun Davies said: "We are currently developing the new #Cymraeg2050 Language Strategy which will include a series of indicators that will enable us to monitor progress towards achieving that goal. "It will build on the current Welsh Medium Education Strategy and include targets for expanding and improving education provision." There were plans to increase the number of Welsh teachers, he added. The club's 1927 victory marked the only time England's showpiece football trophy has been out of the country. Memorabilia on display include the medal belonging to captain Fred Keenor, match day shirts and a replica trophy. Councillor Peter Bradbury said the achievement was "something the whole of Wales should be proud of". Now, as Latvia marks 25 years since it declared independence from the Soviet Union, pressure is growing to publish the names of KGB agents who spied on their fellow citizens. A stooped elderly man slowly opens the heavy metal door which half a century ago imprisoned him. "It was deadly silent," he remembers with a sad smile. "And if you were brought out into the corridor and another prisoner came, you had to turn round to the wall, with your face to the floor, so that you didn't know who else was here." In a beret, and with a distinguished white beard, Knuts Skujenieks, 78, is exactly how you would imagine a dissident poet from the former Soviet Union. In 1962 he spent six months here, before being sent to a Soviet labour camp near the Ural mountains in Russia for more than six years. His crime was writing poetry. He believes his imprisonment was a warning to other Latvian writers not to agitate for independence from Moscow. From the outside, the House on the Corner is an ornate Art Deco building, originally built as a chic apartment block for Riga's wealthy bourgeois elite. After the Soviet occupation of Latvia during World War Two, it became the KGB's headquarters. In the 1940s, prisoners were tortured and even killed here. On one courtyard wall you can still see the hooks where inmates were hung up by chains, their feet dangling metres from the ground. On the street, near the entrance, there used to be a small letterbox where Latvians could post requests for information about people who had been detained here; or, more chilling still, slip in notes informing the secret services of the suspected anti-Soviet activities of their neighbours, work colleagues or even friends. It is this unsettling aspect of Latvian history which is today more explosive than ever. Between the end of World War Two and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 around 30,000 KGB agents and informers worked in Latvia - many of them Latvian. Details of the victims can be found in hundreds of thousands of KGB files held in a cavernous former radio factory on the outskirts of town. Here we find the files which list Mr Skujenieks' "crimes" - 16 thick handwritten volumes, stuffed with photographs and battered 50-year-old school textbooks containing Latvian poems written in faded pencil. But what these files do not tell you is who did the spying. The names of the KGB agents are in code. Their real identities are listed on 4,300 cards, stored in sacks and guarded by Latvia's authorities. Every time the Latvian parliament is about to open these files, the move is blocked by certain senior politicians who want to hide their own past collaboration with the KGB, says historian Karlis Kangeris. "Former KGB agents must admit to their past. Society can't forgive if we don't know what we're supposed to be forgiving." But in the seaside resort of Jurmala, I meet the man whom some would hold responsible for some of the repression: the last boss of the KGB in Latvia, Edmunds Johansons. A genial, chatty man, he is convalescing in a former Soviet sanatorium - a funky building from the 1960s hidden away deep in a forest and reminiscent of a baddy's lair in a James Bond film. Mr Johansons will not me give any names, but he confirms that some leading figures in Latvian politics and society used to work for the KGB. Opening up the files, he believes, would tear Latvian society apart. "We'll just antagonise people. We should aim for consensus and harmony in society. We have to build a future for an independent Latvia. And not do the opposite, and look backwards. It's a very dangerous question." Back in the prison, I am surprised when Mr Skujenieks tells me that he agrees. Key data was taken back to Moscow when the Russians left, he explains, so the documents left behind in Riga are incomplete and misleading. And much of it cannot be trusted anyway, Mr Skujenieks says, citing dates and facts about himself in his files which he knows are lies. "If Moscow would give us all the files it would make sense to open them up. But given the present political situation, it's 100% clear, that's not going to happen." Mr Skujenieks suspects that the Kremlin is hanging on to the files in order to threaten Latvians and potentially destabilise society. Two-and-a-half decades after declaring independence, Latvia is still under threat - not from the KGB, but from the files they left behind. The AI, known as Alpha, used four virtual jets to successfully defend a coastline against two attacking aircraft - and did not suffer any losses. Alpha, which was developed by a US team, also triumphed in simulation against a retired human fighter pilot. One military aviation expert said the results were promising. In the simulation described in the study, both attacking jets - the blue team - had more capable weapons systems. But Alpha's red team was able to dispatch the enemy planes after performing evasive manoeuvres. In their paper, researchers from the University of Cincinnati and defence company Psibernetix describe Alpha as "a deadly opponent". Reporting on simulated assaults against retired US Air Force colonel Gene Lee, the researchers wrote: "Not only could he not score a kill against it, he was shot out of the air by the reds every time after protracted engagements." Alpha uses a form of artificial intelligence based on the concept of "fuzzy logic" - in which a computer considers a wide range of options before making a decision. Because a simulated fighter jet produces so much data for interpretation, it is not always obvious which manoeuvre is most advantageous or, indeed, at what point a weapon should be fired. Fuzzy logic systems can weigh up the significance of these individual pieces of data before making a broader decision. The researchers' key achievement here was to do this in real-time with computational efficiency. "Here, you've got an AI system that seems to be able to deal with the air-to-air environment, which is extraordinarily dynamic, has an extraordinary number of parameters and, in the paper, more than holds its own against a skilled and capable, experienced combat pilot," said Doug Barrie, a military aerospace analyst at think tank IISS. "It's like a chess master losing out to a computer." But Mr Barrie also told the BBC it might not be easy or appropriate to translate the system to real-world combat environments. If such a system were ever used in a live setting and decided to attack a non-military target, the results could be dire, he said. "The public furore about that would be immense," he said. However, at the very least, Mr Barrie said, Alpha had potential as a simulation tool or as a device to help develop better systems for assisting human pilots in the air. When Operation Dynamo was formally wound up, more than 100,000 men were still in France, some fighting with the rearguard against the advancing German army, others looking for other ways to escape. John Borland was a Cameron Highlander serving with the 51st Highland Division. He never reached Dunkirk but was forced to hold the line further west. At his home in Glasgow, he recalled long, hungry days on the road. "You really got used to it as the days went on... taking up your positions... being ready," said Mr Borland, now 90. "The odds were stacked against us, but we fought on. "You're not really afraid, because you know there's a job to be done, though today I get scared just thinking about it." Bert Evans, serving with the Warwickshire Regiment, was facing an elite German SS division near the town of Wormhout. "We were the ones who stopped them breaking through," said the 89-year-old from Redditch, Worcestershire. "And we suffered for it. "We'd heard about the SS and we knew they didn't take prisoners." Mr Evans's fears were well-founded: after he and 80 other soldiers were herded into a small barn, the SS threw hand grenades into the building before firing indiscriminately. "I was saved because I was under a pile of bodies," he told me. "I thought I was lucky to be alive." Fewer than 20 of the men forced into the barn came out alive. Mr Evans's injuries would eventually cost him his right arm, but he managed to escape by crawling along a ditch and taking cover in a small pond. The company commander hiding with him was gunned down when he tried to make a run for it. The memories haunt Mr Evans, visibly upset at their recollection. "It's an ordeal and I don't wish to remember it, I wish to forget it," he said. "It's an ordeal just thinking about it... I don't want to remember what happened, but it keeps me awake at night." Mr Borland and the Highlanders eventually ended up in St Valery, a tiny fishing village near Dieppe. "There was quite a bit of wreckage lying about and then after that came a lot of refugees, which hampered us quite a bit," Mr Borland said. "We were very, very much exhausted because of being alert 24 hours a day. There was very little sleep." The rearguard now had little chance of escape, with the town ablaze and the Germans shelling them from the clifftops above. The ships waiting offshore could not reach them. The scene was littered with the bodies of dead and injured allied troops, many having tried to reach safety by climbing down the towering cliffs. Surrender was now the only option to prevent more lives being lost. "There was a major who informed us that the word had come from Britain that we must lay down our arms," said Mr Borland. "There was quite a bit of argument about it but, coming from a major, we had to obey orders." By the time of the surrender it was mid-June, more than two weeks after the start of the Dunkirk evacuation. Of the Britons left behind by Operation Dynamo, 11,000 died and 40,000 were captured and imprisoned. As he was marched away to five years of captivity, Mr Borland spotted a scrap of paper blowing across his path. He has it still. "It was a biblical text, with the words 'Don't give up' scrawled in pencil, probably by the man who'd dropped it. "Those words stayed with me through my time in the POW camps." Had he ever given up, I asked him. The answer was unequivocal: "Never." A BBC News special programme on the 70th anniversary of the "little ships" evacuation of Dunkirk will be shown on Sunday 30 May at 1130 BST on BBC Two. House prices rose by 1.1% during the month after falling by 0.2% in May. But Nationwide economist Robert Gardner warned that "monthly growth rates can be volatile, even after accounting for seasonal effects". The average price of a house in the UK rose by £2,590 to £211,301. Annual house price growth edged up to 3.1% from 2.1% in May London house prices rose at the slowest annual pace since 2012, by 1.2% year-on-year. Mr Gardner said: "There has been a shift in regional house price trends. Price growth in the south of England has moderated, converging with the rates prevailing in the rest of the country." He added that in the second quarter of the year, the gap in percentage rises between the strongest performing region - East Anglia, which saw 5% annual growth - and the weakest - the North of England, with 1% growth - was the smallest on record. "Nevertheless, when viewed in levels, the price gap between regions remains extremely wide," Mr Gardner said. However he also pointed out that London saw a "particularly marked slowdown, with annual price growth moderating to just 1.2% - the second slowest pace of the 13 UK regions". Commentators said that the regional shifts were significant. Jonathan Hopper, managing director of Garrington Property Finders, said: "For London's house prices to be growing at the second slowest rate in the country would have been unthinkable for much of the past decade. "Instead, growth is now spread much more evenly across the country, with the market fragmenting into a patchwork of smaller hotspots and coldspots." Meanwhile, Nationwide said that the rising cost of living would curtail household spending which, in turn, would create a "drag" on activity in the housing market. A lack of homes being built, and few properties being put up for sale, meant house prices would still rise by 2% this year, the building society forecast. The UN has confirmed that the convoy was hit near the rebel-held town of Urum al-Kubra, without giving details. Activists say an air strike hit the trucks hours after the army declared a US-Russian brokered truce over. The US says it will "reassess the future prospects for co-operation" with Russia - an ally of Syria's government. "The destination of this convoy was known to the Syrian regime and the Russian Federation," state department spokesman John Kirby said. "And yet these aid workers were killed in their attempt to provide relief to the Syrian people," he added. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said the attacks were carried out by either Syrian or Russian aircraft. It added the dead included the Syrian Arab Red Crescent volunteers and drivers. The UN aid chief Stephen O'Brien said if the "callous attack" was found to be deliberate it would amount to a war crime. At least 18 of 31 lorries in the convoy were hit, according to a UN spokesperson. The convoy was intended to deliver aid for 78,000 people in rebel-held areas near Aleppo. A witness told Reuters news agency by phone that about five missile strikes had hit the lorries, which were parked at a centre belonging to the Syrian Red Crescent. The attack appeared to signal the collapse of the latest effort by the US, which backs the rebels, and Russia to halt the violence in Syria, with the army there saying the deal was over. "We don't know if it can be salvaged," a senior US official told journalists on condition of anonymity. "At this point the Russians have to demonstrate very quickly their seriousness of purpose because otherwise there will be nothing to extend and nothing to salvage." After the army announcement, activists said Aleppo and the surrounding province were heavily targeted, and a correspondent with the Agence France-Presse inside Aleppo city said there was almost non-stop bombardment. The Syrian military and rebels had already accused each other of violations. The US and Russia are to hold further talks on the Syrian situation in New York on Tuesday, the state department added. Aid deliveries to besieged areas were a key part of the cessation of hostilities deal brokered last week. Supplements were delivered to the besieged town of Talbiseh in Homs province on Monday, the Red Cross said. But most aid shipments were still waiting to go in. The UN said it had received government approval to reach all the besieged and hard-to-reach areas where it sought to bring aid. But access to many areas was still constrained, it said, because of fighting, insecurity and administrative delays. The truce was dealt a blow on Saturday when warplanes from the US-led coalition against so-called Islamic State (IS) bombed Syrian troops in the eastern city of Deir al-Zour, apparently unintentionally. Officials said the strikes killed more than 60 soldiers. President Bashar al-Assad called them the "latest example of flagrant American aggression against Syrian army positions in the interests of the terrorist organisation Daesh [IS]". Police stopped the car early on Friday when it drove past without its headlights on the Gold Coast in Queensland. They saw the boy at the wheel and the man in the passenger seat, police said. The 41-year-old has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and adult in charge under the influence of liquor, Queensland police say. Local media reports say the man was the boy's father. The boy is reportedly now in the care of relatives and the man is expected to face court on 3 July. "I shake my head and I'm shocked by the madness of this," Queensland Transport Minister Scott Emerson told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "I've been out there every day talking about how our road toll is too high." Joel Tucker, a senior road safety adviser from the Royal Automobile Club Queensland, told Agence-France Presse news agency that it was "a real concern to hear that children were being put in that position". Cleveland Police said they are no longer looking for two men over the alleged attack in Redcar on Friday. A spokeswoman said inquiries are ongoing into an allegation of rape involving people who may have been known to each other. One man was arrested but later released without charge. It had been reported that the woman aged in her 30s and her child were abducted by two men from Redcar seafront at lunchtime on Friday. The force said the pair were driven about four miles to Longbeck Lane, near Yearby, where the woman was allegedly raped by both men. A spokeswoman said: "Officers have established that the circumstances surrounding a report of rape are not as first reported." Officers are still keen to speak to anyone who may have seen a woman with a toddler between the area of Roseberry Road and Larkswood Road in Redcar between 14:00 GMT and 18:00 - or anyone with private CCTV footage covering the area. The 20-year-old starred in the recent series defeat by England, taking 13 wickets in a victory in the final Test, and has 24 in six Tests in total. Durham head coach Jon Lewis said he was exploring options to cover Australia all-rounder John Hastings. Hastings, 30, is likely to be called up for the World T20 in March and April. Penrith-born Hastings is also set to play in the Indian Premier League, and could miss further matches if he has surgery on an injured shoulder. South Africa coach Russell Domingo told Cricinfo a spell in county cricket would be a "very good idea". "It will benefit him massively," said Domingo. "He is still a young boy. He hasn't played a lot of four-day cricket and South Africa tour England in 2017. "There is a big series there with Tests and a Champions Trophy, so whatever experience he can get beforehand will be beneficial for him and the team." After tries by Ryan Shaw and George Lawley were cancelled out by Leigh, James Greenwood's converted late first-half try earned Rovers a 16-10 lead. Victory was then sealed by a late drop-goal from ex-Leigh scrum-half Jamie Ellis, who also landed three kicks. Winger Shaw's last-gasp converted put the icing on a hard-earned fifth-round win for the 2015 beaten finalists. It was a sixth successive defeat in all competitions for twice Challenge Cup winners Leigh, who stand 10th in the table, having won just three of their 11 Super League matches this season. Leigh had pulled back a 10-0 deficit with tries from Lachlan Burr and Curtis Naughton before Rovers edged ahead again by the interval. But, after going behind again, once Leigh winger Naughton had seen a second try disallowed for a forward pass, the visitors' defence held out against the side they effectively swapped places with at the end of last season. Rovers got off to a great start in only the second minute when Shaw was first to react to a wayward pass, racing over from halfway, before Ellis added the conversion. Ellis was then involved again on eight minutes when he prodded a kick through for second rower Lawler to ground the ball, although Ellis was unable to kick the goal. Leigh pulled one back on 19 minutes when Josh Drinkwater took on the Hull KR defensive line before sending a pass to Burr who charged in from close range. Ben Reynolds kicked the conversion, although he was unsuccessful minutes later after Naughton had gone in at the left corner to level the scores. But, with only two minutes of the half left, stand-off Jordan Abdull's well-timed pass to Greenwood put Rovers back in front. Ellis converted, then, after a long scoreless spell, kicked the drop goal which stretched the Robins two scores clear, before adding the conversion to Shaw's second late try. Leigh coach Neil Jukes: "It was a good effort and, although we worked hard, there was not enough quality. I don't like hammering the guys publicly but everyone is accountable and that starts with me at the top of the tree. "We are not getting enough out of some players. We can look at the players who have not played and make excuses but the 17 we picked were good enough to win the game. "We had enough ball in the second half to win but we were guilty of some poor last plays. Defensively we were not far off but there's not enough quality with the ball in hand." "The bounce of the ball didn't always go our way but you sometimes get that when you're up against it. Hull KR smelled a bit of blood on us and went for our throats." Hull KR coach Tim Sheens: "It was a good win and we had to show a lot of courage. That's not their best side and it wasn't ours either but we had good support from our crowd. "It pleased me that we were never behind at any stage and that we took the opportunities that came our way. "I'm really happy with the result. We approached the game very professionally. Everyone did their jobs. But we have got some stuff to learn. We have got a long way to go as a team. "My attitude has always been to deal with what's in front of you - but we are only halfway through the season." Leigh: Ridyard; Hampshire, Crooks, Dawson, Naughton; Reynolds, Drinkwater; Acton, Hood, Weston, Vea, Stewart, Hansen. Replacements: Pelissier, Tickle, Hopkins, Burr.

Referee: James Child (RFL). The vacant high-rise buildings in Seaforth, Merseyside, were due to be demolished simultaneously at 10:00 BST. But both remained standing after the controlled explosion, before Churchill House later collapsed suddenly. People living within the exclusion zone are unable to return to their houses until the remaining tower has fallen. One Vision Housing, which owns the towers, said Widnes firm J. Bryan (Victoria) Ltd which is in charge of the demolition is investigating what happened. A spokesperson for the demolition company told the crowd of spectators and residents they had "experienced delays" but are trying "to get as many people safely back into their homes as possible". "The controlled demolition of Churchill House has now been completed. J. Bryan are currently assessing Montgomery House... a reduced exclusion zone is currently being developed," he said. The man was arrested and prevented from seeing the youngsters for two years after allegations by their mother. But social services suspected the children had been coached to make false allegations and concluded their mother had caused them "significant harm". A High Court judge heard that Luton Borough Council had apologised to the man and awarded him £15,000 damages. The man and his former partner had been involved in a five-year legal dispute over the children, the court was told. The woman had initially made "serious allegations" about the man's conduct towards one child and then claimed he had sexually abused both youngsters. The man complained that social services at Luton Borough Council had breached his human rights by preventing him from seeing the children. Details of the case have emerged in a ruling by Mr Justice Cobb following a private hearing at the High Court in London. The judge said the children had eventually moved to live with their father and were "thriving". Neither the children nor their father can be identified for legal reasons. He has long since exceeded those aims. He is now potentially 13 days away from becoming the world number one for the first time. After winning his second Wimbledon title earlier this year, the 29-year-old admitted that he would "love to get to number one". "It's definitely a goal. It's something I spoke to my team about. "I think before I was motivated genuinely solely really by the Slams. Whereas now I feel a lot more motivated throughout the whole year and at all of the events." So, what does he have to do to complete his assault on the top of the men's game? With 2,415 points - more than are on offer for winning a Grand Slam - still separating him from top dog Novak Djokovic on the current rankings, it seems improbable that Murray will be top of the pops come 7 November. But it is possible. This is how: That is the shortest route from two to one. But not the most realistic. "I'd have to win pretty much every match between now and the end of the year. And Novak would have to win hardly any," said Murray on his way to the Shanghai Masters title last week. "I want to try and get there, but I don't think doing that by the end of this year is that realistic." Djokovic does revel in the late-season indoor action in Europe. He has won the Paris Masters in each of his last three attempts and the World Tour Finals for the last four years. Instead Murray believes a strong finish to this season would give him a chance of toppling Djokovic in the first half of next season. He has zeroed in on April 2017 as the point where Djokovic is most vulnerable. Leading up to the start of that month are the Masters events at Indian Wells and Miami. This year, Djokovic won them both, earning a maximum of 1,000 points from each. By contrast Murray underperformed, exiting in the third round at the hands of Federico Delbonis and Grigor Dimitrov and picking up a relatively paltry total of 90 points. That chunk of the calendar is where the biggest and easiest gains can be made by Murray. Djokovic's hopes of staying at the top of the tree may depend more on psychology than mathematics and probability. The Serb's strengths are many, but behind his razor-sharp returning, elastic limbs and eye-popping shot-making is a primal, insatiable will to win. That edge to his play seems to have blunted for the past few months as he has struggled to fight his way out of the sticky situations that would usually prompt his finest performances. He said that private, off-court issues hampered him in his third-round defeat to Sam Querrey at Wimbledon and, after he departed early and emotionally from the Rio 2016 singles draw, it seems the way he sees tennis has changed. "A must-win type of mindset is not working for me anymore," he admitted in Shanghai. "I'm still playing because I enjoy it, but that's my main priority. "I try to look at things from different perspectives, from more human perspectives rather than from the perspective of a professional tennis player. "I'm not in a need, you know, to achieve anything. You know, I feel like I have overcome that step." Andy Murray would become the first British singles world number one, certainly as we understand it. Fred Perry - who Murray followed as the next British winner of the Wimbledon men's title after a gap of 77 years - was ranked as the best player in the world on several occasions during the 1930s. But, without an elite-level tour circuit and the game divided between amateur and professional, those lists were put together based on journalists' opinions rather than objective points tallies. Since computerised rankings came in in 1973, it has been an essential part of all modern greats tennis CVs. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Murray's coach Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi and Roger Federer have all claimed top spot, along with less-celebrated names such as Chilean Marcelo Rios and Austria's Thomas Muster. Murray would not be the first world number one in his family though. Brother Jamie made the top of the doubles rankings in April. Mr Jones unveiled the party's five pledges, including promises on the NHS, housing, schools and policing. The first minister said the general election should not be about Brexit but about "seven years of Tory failure". He defended his failure to mention Mr Corbyn, saying it was a Welsh launch. Mr Jones told activists at the event on Monday that Labour's achievement "knows no bounds" when it stands united. "We are in Welsh Labour together, councillors, MPs and AMs, we are united," he said. The Welsh Labour leader said the party had "repelled" Tory advances in the Conservative target areas of Flintshire, Newport and Swansea in last Thursday's local elections. "We did suffer some reversals. We'll learn from that," he said. He called on voters to send back a "battalion of Welsh Labour MPs", saying Welsh Labour made "no apology" for local campaigning and boasting of its achievements governing Wales. The party has five Welsh pledges for the election, three of which concern the devolved areas of health, education and housing: "This election has to be about seven years of Tory failure," Mr Jones said, claiming that austerity showed no sign of ending. "This is not the Brexit election," he insisted. "That was the referendum last year - a result I respect. I was a Remainer - so was Theresa May." Mr Jones claimed the prime minister had "no plan" for leaving the EU. "I know that all she is doing at the moment is posturing," he said. "We produced a plan, where's their plan?" Mr Corbyn visited Cardiff in April for a campaign rally shortly after the election was called. With the first minister by his side, he had urged a crowd of about 700 on Whitchurch Common to join him on a journey of "hope and excitement", praising Labour's record in power in Wales. Mr Jones told BBC Wales that the party leader was not mentioned at Monday's event "because it is Welsh Labour's campaign launch" which he himself was fronting. "It's pretty clear to people who would be prime minister if we got a majority," the first minister said, denying that he thought Mr Corbyn was an electoral hindrance. "We live in an age of devolution. That's why it's hugely important that parties put forward their Welsh pledges," he added. This is a clear strategy by Carwyn Jones' Welsh Labour to differentiate itself from Jeremy Corbyn's UK Labour party. You can see why - the focus on Welsh Labour is thought to have helped the party hold on to a number of councils last week, and helped it fight off the Tories in marginal seats in the assembly campaign last year. But how do you do it in a general election when it would not be Carwyn Jones walking into Downing Street but Jeremy Corbyn? The lack of focus on the UK leader by Labour stands in stark contrast to the Conservatives who seem to talk about the leadership of Theresa May in every other sentence. Media playback is not supported on this device If Leicester defeat United at Old Trafford on Sunday they will secure a first top-flight championship in their 132-year history. "They showed great character, commitment and passion," said Mata. "They are really close to doing it. But hopefully it doesn't happen at Old Trafford. They can wait another week." The Spain international added: "It is good for football in a way because it is a little bit of fresh air. But my wish is that we were winning the league." Speaking to BBC Sport, Mata also discussed how United must win all four of their remaining league games to stand a chance of qualifying for the Champions League and revealed his disappointment at not competing for the title. Media playback is not supported on this device Even if Leicester lose on Sunday, a seven-point advantage over nearest rivals Tottenham means they could still wrap up the title if Spurs lose to Chelsea on Monday night. It is the kind of scenario Mata hoped he would be involved in when he joined the then-reigning champions in a £39.1m deal from Chelsea in January 2014. United have not won a trophy since, finishing seventh and fourth in Mata's first two seasons. They sit fifth at present, five points off the top four and 17 behind Leicester. "We did not do well enough to win the title," Mata said, who was speaking at the launch of a two-year spell as ambassador at global children's charity streetfootballworld. "Leicester can make their dreams come true. In the beginning of the season you could be surprised but after that, when you see the way they play and the way they defend. They play like a team and get results. "I really like Riyad Mahrez. He is playing the best football of his life. But it is not just about one player." Media playback is not supported on this device In their second season under manager Louis van Gaal, United were expected to use their return to the Champions League as a launch pad towards competing for major honours again. They briefly led the Premier League in November but a run of six games without a win ended their challenge, with Van Gaal pointing to a huge injury list. Manchester City and Arsenal remain five points in front - having played a game more - even though United have won six of their last eight games. "It has not been an easy season," said Mata. "Manchester United should not judge a season as successful solely because they have qualified for the Champions League. "But you have to react to the reality." Media playback is not supported on this device With Manchester City and Arsenal still to play each other, Mata says 12 points from United's final four games will be enough for the FA Cup finalists to claim a Champions League place. And if they can beat Crystal Palace at Wembley on 21 May as well, he does not think the season would look so bad. "If we don't win every game, we will be depending on the other teams too much," he said. "Also, the club hasn't won the FA Cup for a few years. "If we won that very special trophy and finished third or fourth, maybe the season is not as bad as it looked before. Hopefully we could build from that."

The Reds had former Gillingham man Morris to thank for keeping them in the match before half-time as they ended a run of three successive home defeats. Rovers' leading scorer John Marquis, with 20 goals already this season, wasted a perfect opportunity to give his side the lead when he had a 25th-minute penalty saved. Defender Mark Connolly gave away the spot-kick for bringing down Tommy Rowe and Marquis' tame penalty was saved to his left by Morris, who then kept out the rebound from Alfie May. Rovers, with only one defeat in their previous 14 league games, were again denied by Morris after James Coppinger connected with a cross from Marquis. A one-sided opening half also saw Marquis have a close-range shot saved by Morris after a strong run by May. Crawley came to life shortly after the break when, from a free-kick by Dean Cox, defender Joe McNerney forced goalkeeper Tom Lawlor to parry his effort before James Collins put the rebound over. Morris came to Crawley's rescue again when diving to keep out a low drive from Coppinger after a header from defender Andy Butler was cleared off the line. Substitute Andy Williams almost snatched Rovers victory late on when his header was cleared off the line by Reds skipper Jimmy Smith. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

Marshall died on Tuesday at a hospital in Burbank, California, of complications from pneumonia following a stroke, Michelle Bega said. The prolific director, producer and writer also wrote sitcoms The Odd Couple and Mork and Mindy. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, and their three children. Born in New York, Marshall studied journalism at university and began his entertainment career writing jokes for other actors. He soon progressed to writing scripts for a series of hit TV shows and caught the eye of comedian Joey Bishop, who took him to Los Angeles to write for The Joey Bishop Show. Marshall went on to turn out scripts for some of the most popular TV comedies of the 1960s including The Lucy Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show. In the 1970s, Marshall created Happy Days; Laverne & Shirley - which starred his sister Penny Marshall - and Mork and Mindy which starred then newcomer Robin Williams. Marshall switched to the big screen in the 1980s and directed blockbusters such as Pretty Woman and Runaway Bride. Aiden O'Mahony was at the JJ Moon's pub on High Street, Hornchurch, on 10 January. He died from a single stab wound to the chest. James Roberts, 31, from Hornchurch, has been charged with murder and will appear at Redbridge Magistrates' Court later. Mr O'Mahony's family said they were "devastated" by his death. They said: "Aiden was a very loved son, brother, partner and granddad. "His passions were Spurs, his family, friends and his dog Lily." Most thought that India would dominate - some to the tune of a 5-0 whitewash - and that England would lose. Nothing I have seen over the course of the first four Tests has made me think any differently. Some will want to make knee-jerk reactions in the wake of the latest defeat, an innings-and-36-run thrashing in the fourth Test, but an honest assessment is that England have lost a series they were expected to lose. Still, that does not excuse the disappointing parts of the defeat in Mumbai. Because England do not play in these conditions often, you want to see them learning and improving, because there is no point coming here if your game does not get better. In this fourth Test, England repeated the same mistakes that cost them earlier in the series, failing to make the sort of first-innings score that would put India under pressure through a catalogue of poor shots. England were 220-2 in the first innings, but were then bowled out for 400. That was a good score, but only a total in excess of 500 would have had the tourists right on top. From Alastair Cook down, the manner in which England's batsmen fell was poor - sweeps, catches in the deep. They got trapped trying to play too positively. Positivity is fine, but not when it encroaches in to recklessness. When you bat in India, you must nail it down. Be patient, play back some maidens and see it through even if there are fielders around the bat chirping at you. India captain Virat Kohli said himself after the match that his side did not feel that England were capable of doing this. Media playback is not supported on this device There has been talk of England making a mistake with the team that they chose, opting for four pace bowlers and only two spinners. However, when Gareth Batty played as a third spinner in the previous Test, he only bowled 19 overs. Selection was a minimal factor in the outcome of this match. Similarly, there has been criticism of the spinners that did play for England in Mumbai - Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali. As far as I'm concerned, they should be exonerated. Yes, Rashid in particular did not have a great game, but he has definitely improved on this tour. We knew beforehand that India's spinners are a class above, so making the comparison now would be a little pointless. It is those spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin especially, that help make India such a formidable side in home conditions. The world number one side has now gone more than four years without losing a Test at home, a run of 18 matches. Coach Anil Kumble's assertion that they have the potential to be one of the best teams of all time might be something of a leap, but they are certainly a very fine side when it comes to playing at home. Ashwin would be dangerous wherever he plays, while Kohli has made runs in most parts of the world, with a Test century in England one of the few blank spaces on his CV. England now have one final assignment on this gruelling pre-Christmas tour of seven consecutive Tests in Bangladesh and India. Before the first Test in India, much was made of a Cook comment where he intimated that he is looking forward to relinquishing the captaincy. He was again asked about his future following this defeat, and he said his position has not changed - he will meet with England director of cricket Andrew Strauss for a debrief in the same way he does after every series. For his part, coach Trevor Bayliss said that the captaincy is Cook's for as long as he wants it. Even though Cook fell in uncharacteristic fashion in the first innings - charging at Ravindra Jadeja to end up stumped - I do not think that was a reflection of his attitude towards the captaincy at the moment. Taking that a stage further, I would be surprised if he decides to leave the job at the end of this tour. There have been other times when he has been under huge pressure, facing personal attacks on his form as a batsman, results and tactics. The summer of 2014 and the defeats by Sri Lanka at Headingley and India at Lord's was probably when the criticism was at its most fierce. Cook, though, stuck it out. He always said it was for other people, the selectors, to relieve him of the captaincy, rather than for him to walk away. He is not someone who will easily jump ship. Also, from the team's perspective, it is preferable for Cook to lead England on next winter's Ashes tour. The general feeling is that it would be a mistake to push Joe Root into captaining too quickly and that he would benefit from another year in the ranks. Having said that, my experience of England captains is that they can wake up one morning and decide they have had enough. I do not think that Cook is to blame for what has happened in India, so his immediate focus should be on ensuring his side are in the right frame of mind for the final Test in Chennai on Friday. Maintaining morale can be incredibly difficult on a trip like this, but we do not want England to fall in a heap at the end of a long winter.

Ross, a former head of Film 4, joined the theatre alongside its new artistic director Rufus Norris last year. Announcing her resignation, she said only one person should be in charge. "It has become clear to me that the new leadership structure, with a separate role of chief executive, is not right for the NT at this time," she said. Ross started her career as a literary agent before moving into television, becoming head of Drama at Channel 4 in 2000. There, she commissioned shows including Shameless, White Teeth, Teachers and Sex Traffic; and, after moving to the film unit, oversaw an annual budget of £10m. Among the British films she developed were Slumdog Millionaire, 12 Years a Slave, Shame and Four Lions. She received a CBE in 2010 for her services to broadcasting and won a Bafta for outstanding contribution in 2013. After being appointed to the board of the National Theatre in 2011, Ross officially started her new role last November, eight months after her nomination was announced. Ross and Norris were seen as a "dream team", taking over from Nicholas Hytner and his executive director Nick Starr- the duo behind hits such as The History Boys, One Man, Two Guv'nors and War Horse. But there appears to be no bad blood over her departure. A spokesperson for the National Theatre said: "There is no difference of opinion, it is purely down to structure. The relationship is very strong." Ross added: "I will, with great pleasure, continue to work with Rufus and Lisa [Burger, executive director] as a consultant, ensuring the smooth delivery of their first season and planning for the next one. "It is an institution that I love and for which it has been a great privilege to work." Norris said: "Tessa's role in the planning of my first year and beyond at the NT has been invaluable and immense. "I'm sad that our partnership is ending prematurely but am grateful for everything she has done here, and happy that we'll work together on a consultancy basis. John Makinson, chairman of the National, said it was with "great regret that we are saying goodbye to Tessa in this role", adding: "We recognise and salute the integrity of her decision." When the National Theatre announced last year that it had hired Tessa Ross as its new chief executive, it was considered by many to be quite a coup. The National billed her as one part of its new dream executive team, along with the recently appointed artistic director Rufus Norris. They were taking over the theatre from the extremely successful Two Nicks - Hytner and Starr - whose partnership was different: Hytner was the boss. That worked. Two creative producers sharing centre stage has not. The National will revert to the old system, and Rufus Norris will be the sole person in charge.

Tessa Ross has unexpectedly stepped down as chief executive of the National Theatre, just six months into the job.

Allen was released from his deal with the Bees after Eastleigh chairman Stewart Donald requested permission to speak to the 51-year-old. His appointment follows Ronnie Moore's departure for "personal reasons" on Wednesday after three months in charge. Allen's first match in charge will be Sunday's home FA Cup second-round tie against FC Halifax Town. He guided Barnet back into the EFL from the National League in 2015 in his fourth spell in charge of the London club, who are eighth in League Two. The Bees have placed development team coach Rossi Eames in caretaker charge, with academy manager Henry Newman assisting him. Eastleigh, ninth in the National League and eight points off the play-off places, have appointed their third different manager of the season after sacking Chris Todd in August. "The approach came out of the blue," Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous said. "It was quite clear that Martin had decided he wanted to take the opportunity Eastleigh were offering to him. "He leaves with our best wishes having done a great job helping to rebuild the football club after our relegation into the National League."

Martin Allen has joined National League side Eastleigh as manager after being granted permission to leave Barnet.

Mr Nuttall accused the prime minister of "backsliding" on immigration and said a "whopping Conservative majority" would "put Brexit in peril". UKIP would fight seats across "the vast majority of the country" but would stand not against some pro-Brexit MPs. The party won 3.9m votes in 2015 which resulted in only one seat. Mr Nuttall said ditching the "antiquated" and "unfair" first-past-the-post voting system would be among "radical" domestic policies in a "fully-costed" manifesto which would show UKIP was not just about Brexit. LIVE: election updates Reality check: Has a city the size of Newcastle come to the UK? Analysis: Deals, pacts and alliances General election: What you need to know But he added: "In many ways it is an election which is on our turf. It is a Brexit election". He accused Prime Minister Theresa May of "flagrant opportunism" in calling the snap election for 8 June because the Conservatives were so far ahead of Labour in the polls. "A whopping Conservative majority will only serve to put Brexit in peril," he said at his campaign launch in London. "Hordes of Tory lobby fodder will allow the prime minister to backslide, safe in the knowledge she has the votes banked." He accused the prime minister, who campaigned for a Remain vote, of "backsliding" on immigration, not ruling out a "divorce bill" from the EU and not protecting fishermen's rights, questioning whether she will "get the deal that the British people want". "UKIP goes into this snap election determined to hold the government's feet to the fire on Brexit. We will act as the government's backbone in these negotiations." He added: "I believe we have to see this through to the end. We are only halfway through the war. It is a job half done. We must continue to fight." Earlier Mr Nuttall told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he would do his "duty to lead the party into battle" and stand for election to the Commons although he has yet to confirm which constituency he will contest. Asked about speculation that he may stand in Boston and Skegness Mr Nuttall told the BBC: "There's been strong rumours about everything - I've also heard Hartlepool, I've heard Southport, I think branches across the country". Boston in Lincolnshire had the highest majority of Brexit voters in the country in last year's referendum - more than 75% of voters wanted to leave the EU. Mr Nuttall said he had asked "a number" of branches to consider not standing in areas currently represented by prominent Leave campaigners from all parties, if they were at risk from a challenge by a pro-Remain candidate. "I'm not talking about five-to-midnight Brexiteers, or people who have just come to this opinion recently, I'm talking about people who have campaigned with us for many years," he said. But he said UKIP would "be standing in the vast majority of the country" adding: "We've got 350 candidates already selected, there will be a lot more selected over the weekend." He said his predecessor Nigel Farage would "play a front-of-house role in this election" and said he believed the party was "in with a chance of winning a number of seats at this election". "We will be targeting sensibly in terms of financial resources and manpower." Other policies mentioned during his launch speech were replacing the House of Lords with an elected chamber, cutting the foreign aid budget to fund the NHS, campaigning for an English parliament and tackling the "repulsive" practice of female genital mutilation. On the accusation from former party donor Arron Banks that UKIP's proposed burka ban was effectively a "war on Muslim religion", Mr Nuttall told the BBC the policy would merely bring the UK into line with countries like France and Belgium. "We are not at war with Muslims. What we want to see is equality, we want to see integration." On Thursday, Prime Minister Theresa May warned that "tough" Brexit negotiations ahead meant the Conservatives needed the strongest possible mandate to "strengthen my hand when I negotiate with the prime ministers, presidents and chancellors of Europe in the months ahead". Labour set out its approach to Brexit on Tuesday, saying it would scrap Mrs May's plans and unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU residents before talks start. For the Liberal Democrats, Tom Brake said: "Paul Nuttall is campaigning on a near-identical platform to Theresa May. It's surprising he's chosen to stand instead of going to help draft the Conservative manifesto." He said the party was now part of a "regressive alliance" supporting "a hard Brexit".

Paul Nuttall has said Brexit is a "job half done" and UKIP MPs are needed to "see this through to the end" as he launches his party's election campaign.

Injury-hit Real were forced to name a makeshift defence for the short trip to the Vicente Calderon - and it was easily exposed by Atletico's ruthless attack. Quick-fire goals from Tiago and Saul Niguez put Atletico in command at the break, before second-half strikes from Antoine Griezmann and Mario Mandzukic sealed Real's worst loss since a 5-0 mauling by arch-rivals Barcelona in November 2010. Atletico's players jubilantly celebrated with their supporters at the final whistle after extending their unbeaten run against Real to a sixth game. And, perhaps more importantly, the win also reignited their hopes of retaining La Liga. Los Rojiblancos would have fallen 10 points behind their neighbours with a defeat, but instead moved level with second-placed Barcelona. Real still hold a four-point advantage over the pair, although Barca can cut that gap when they travel to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. Los Merengues coach Carlo Ancelotti looked furious at the final whistle after a limp performance from the European champions, who only registered one shot on target. The Italian welcomed back Cristiano Ronaldo following a two-match suspension, but the Ballon d'Or winner barely figured as Atletico took advantage of an away defence missing injured centre-backs Sergio Ramos and Pepe, along with suspended left-back Marcelo. Atletico dominated from the first whistle and deservedly led when Portugal midfielder Tiago drilled in a low shot which Real keeper Iker Casillas failed to hold. Substitute Saul, an early replacement for the injured Koke, doubled the lead four minutes later with a spectacular overhead kick. Slack defending allowed France attacker Griezmann to poke in from close range after the break, before Croatia striker Mandzukic's late diving header sealed a memorable win.

There were 22,116 recorded rapes in the year to June, a rise of 29% on the year before, police figures released by the Office for National Statistics show. Victims are "more willing" to report rape, Crime Minister Norman Baker said. Separate statistics from the Crime Survey for England and Wales showed overall crime fell by 16% to 7.1m. The overall figure covers crimes against households and adults in England and Wales, and this type of crime is at its lowest level since the survey began in 1981. John Flatley, head of crime statistics at the ONS, told the BBC the increase in recorded rapes was driven by two main factors. He said: "We have seen over the last few years a notable rise in victims coming forward to report historical offences. "But this recent set of figures shows quite a change in that pattern, with 73% of the rise due to current offences. "So victims are coming forward now to report recent occurrences rather than historical ones and it's certainly the case the police are taking action to improve their recording and handling of rape investigations." The ONS figures also showed a 48% increase in knife-point rapes, from 199 to 294. The increase in police recorded rape offences follows a trend that began after the Jimmy Savile affair in 2012, when more sexual abuse victims felt empowered to report what had happened to them. It also reflects changes in police procedures after some forces were criticised for wrongly chalking off rape allegations - a practice known as "no criming". But it is unclear whether the increase is also partly due to a real rise in rape and no clues are offered by the Crime Survey, which doesn't ask people if they have been victims of sexual offences. However, statisticians were clear that a 48% rise in knife-point rapes is not due to different recording methods but is likely to be "genuine". Even though the number of such offences is relatively small, that is a real concern - and something that is not currently well understood. Crime Prevention Minister Norman Baker said alleged rape victims were now more willing to come forward than in the past. He added: "We've improved the police recording of these terrible crimes and consequently we're now seeing an official increase." Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: "These figures show a shocking failure to help rape victims and bring dangerous criminals to justice." Liz McKean, co-director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition said she would consider the figures positive if the increase in rape reports was due to alleged victims feeling more able to come forward. She said: "Women's support services line Rape Crisis have certainly been seeing an even larger increase in calls to their help lines from women abused in the past and now seeking support." A spokeswoman for Rape Crisis, which campaigns to eliminate sexual violence, said the the figures were "just the tip of the iceberg" and sexual violence remains "hugely under-reported". Chief Constable Jeff Farrar, national lead on crime statistics for the Association of Chief Police Officers, said it was "reassuring" to see an increase in the reporting of sexual offences. "This shows that victims of abuse have greater confidence that if they report to the police they will be listened to, taken seriously and their report will be investigated fully, regardless of when the offence took place," he said. Overall, police-recorded crime was stable, though fraud and shoplifting increased. Hate crime showed an increase of 5% to 44,480 incidents in the year-long period, up from 42,236 the previous year. Race hate crimes were also up 4% to 37,484 incidents and religious hate crimes were up 45% to 2,273 offences. BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said statisticians believed this was driven by higher levels of hate crime in the wake of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in May last year. On the overall crime figure, Mr Baker said the government was "cracking crime". He said: "The public at large can have confidence that this is going in the right direction. I think people are less worried about crime than they were." Mr Farrar said the overall figures "again demonstrate" the police service's commitment to reducing crime and improving the way forces record it. Thursday's figures do not cover Scotland and Northern Ireland. The overall crime rate rose by 1.7% in Northern Ireland in the 12 months to the end of August. In March, the Scottish government said crime had fallen by 22% in four years.

The number of rapes reported to and recorded by police in England and Wales is at its highest ever level, official figures have shown.

Staffin Community Trust (SCT) has sought islanders' views of its idea which it said could resolve parking problems at the Old Man of Storr. Police criticised irresponsible parking in the area and other beauty spots in Skye over the summer. The Storr in Trotternish is popular with hillwalkers and tourists. It draws visitors because of its striking geology, but also due to its use in movies such as Prometheus and Macbeth. SCT has estimated that more than 100,000 people have visited the site so far this year. The trust said it believed The Storr to be "a vital entry point and economic driver" for Staffin because 70% of those who visited The Storr earlier this year then travelled north to Staffin. SCT has held talks with Highland Council, which owns 202 acres (82 hectares) of land at The Storr, about creating a visitor centre with toilets, a refreshment kiosk and an off-road car park. Trust chairman Donald MacDonald said: "There is an opportunity here to provide a fantastic, much needed, facility that will be able to support the increasing numbers of visitors that visit this iconic attraction. "Time will be taken for consultation and for working with a design team so that the best possible facility is developed with linkages to other important sites throughout the community such as Lealt Gorge, The Kilt Rock and the Quiraing. "The Storr is a gateway site for the community of Staffin and we welcome the opportunity for people to give their valuable input." Highland Council has allocated £530,000 towards improvements to woodland at The Storr, and for "visitor management improvements". Audrey Sinclair, who is the chairwoman of Highland Council's planning, development and infrastructure committee, said the local authority recognised the importance of the area. She said: "This area of Skye is very popular with tourists throughout the year and for many visitors, as well as locals, a walk to the Old Man of Storr is a highlight of any trip. "Its extensive use in the recently-released film Macbeth will attract more visitors to the area. "I certainly look forward to following with interest the ongoing talks about the proposal to give greater community involvement in the management and maintenance of the site." She added: "I would encourage people living in the area to contact Staffin Community Trust to let them know their views."

A visitor centre and a new car park have been suggested for a site near one of Skye's most recognisable landmarks.

Legal highs are chemical substances that can mimic the effects of illicit drugs, but are not illegal to possess. Brighton medical student Hester Stewart, 21, died in 2009 after taking the then-legal drug GBL. Her mother, Maryon Stewart, said Brighton was "the drug capital of England" and the clinics were "positive and helpful for the young people". "These lethal chemicals are absolutely everywhere and kids are taking them thinking that they're safe," she said. "They need somewhere special that they can go because they're not drug addicts. "They're just being duped and misled and they run into trouble and they need someone to help them." Michael Lawrence, Brighton clinic co-ordinator, said people would be helped and given advice whether they were just thinking about using legal highs, or their use had become more of a problem. 16 December 2016 Last updated at 12:57 GMT York Minster dismissed its 30 volunteer bell-ringers in October after a "safeguarding" issue. The York Press reported that bell-ringers in Leeds opted to stand by their colleagues and refused York's offer. It carries electricity from windfarms and other renewable energy schemes in the north to consumers in the south. The energy companies behind the project have described the line as a "power super highway" between the Highlands and the central belt. But opponents question the cost of the scheme and its impact on the landscape. The new power line is said to be the highest transmission line in the UK, passing the Corrieyairack Pass at more than 2,500ft above sea level, as well as one of the longest. The line has been switched on in stages, with the first section going live in July 2013. Pearse Murray of Scottish Power Energy Networks said: "The line will increase our ability to transfer power from the north to the south by about 1,200MW. "To put some sense of scale on that, it's the equivalent to the power usage of 600,000 homes. "A city the size of Glasgow uses about 800MW at peak, so the line will provide enough energy to power a city one and a half times the size of Glasgow." Helen McDade of the John Muir Trust told BBC Scotland News that the new line had a "major impact" on the landscape, particularly the tracks that were built to put the major pylons in. She added: "One of the planning conditions was that these tracks would be removed and that's not happening in a lot of places, so its had a big impact environmentally." Campaigners in central Scotland have said they share the concerns of those further north. Dr Nicki Baker of Friends of the Ochils said: "When you put really large man-made structures into a landscape like this, it takes away a degree of the naturalness, the beauty, the quietness, the feeling of timelessness, peace and tranquility that you get there." The industry regulator, Ofgem, says the cost of construction currently stands at just over £820m. A spokesman said: "Britain's electricity networks need to be upgraded to connect increasing amounts of low carbon generation. "We will ensure that customers pay no more than they should for the upgrade by checking the companies have delivered the project as efficiently as possible." The cost of building the line is met by electricity consumers across Great Britain. Ofgem says 7% of electricity bills goes towards investing in and maintaining the high voltage grid. Lecturer Martyn Lee, 54, of Meriden, was arrested at Coventry University in February 2014. He admitted six counts of making and distributing indecent images of children. Sophie Nightingale, 23, from Stafford, pleaded guilty to four charges of possessing and distributing indecent images of children. They included one count of possessing extreme pornographic images. The pair are due to be sentenced at Warwick Crown Court next month. Coventry University said Lee had been dismissed following a disciplinary hearing in 2014, while performing arts student Nightingale was no longer at the university. In a statement, it confirmed a university computer used by Lee was seized in connection with the investigation. It said the couple's relationship and the offences they admitted "took place in their private lives and, in both cases, were outside the University's knowledge and jurisdiction". "When the University was made aware, swift and appropriate disciplinary action was taken in line with our staff and student codes of conduct," it said. The figures are a 3.7% rise on the previous 12 months, with journeys in London and south-east England increasing by 4.2% to 1.2 billion. As a result, passenger revenue grew by more than 5% to £9.3bn in 2015-16 The RDG's Paul Plummer said it was "vital that we invest and plan long-term for this ever-growing demand". But Mick Cash, general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union, said rail companies' "profiteering" was a hindrance to expanding and improving services. The RDG, which represents firms in the rail industry, calculated the figures using data from the industry's central ticketing system for the period between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016. During that time, long distance routes grew by 3.3% to 139 million, with regional journeys up 2.3% to 379 million. Mr Plummer, chief executive of the RDG, said: "Rail keeps Britain moving, but our network is very busy at times due to a big increase in services as passenger numbers have doubled." Mr Cash said rail staff were "sick and tired" of train companies taking credit for the "daily miracle" of transporting people on the rail network. "We may well be moving more passengers but for many it's at an eye-watering price to travel on rammed out and overcrowded services while the train bosses are laughing all the way to the bank," he added. They're to be sorely disappointed again, and not only because an imminent criminal court case can be expected to bring back some painful memories. The current directors' box regime, under Dave King, is still in emergency measures. Rangers International Football Club (RIFC) is cut off from normal financing and banking, and having to fund losses by reliance on wealthy shareholders. But now, King's hold on Ibrox is in doubt. The method by which he got control of it has led to the close attention of the Takeover Panel - a usually obscure arm of company law, with the job of refereeing fairness for all shareholders amid bruising corporate jousts. It has never used its enforcement powers before, which is just one of the aspects of the RIFC and the Dave King case, which is unprecedented, and leaves a lot of uncertainty hanging over the club. To recap, there was a well publicised consortium of wealthy Rangers fans who worked with South Africa-based Dave King to wrest the club from its former directors. They achieved this by buying more than a third of the shares in the club. And that's the way it has remained. But if you're involved in a takeover of a company - any company - when you get past 30% of share ownership, you are required, by law to make an offer to buy all the other shares. The price is set by the regulator at the highest level reached in the last 12 months during which the bidder was amassing shares. If shareholders combine forces to take over a company, as this team did, in a so-called "concert party", that has to be declared as a single bid. In this case, no such declaration was officially made. The Takeover Panel has since said that it should have been. There's a good reason for this. With 30% you can have effective control of a company. Now, think of company A which buys enough shares in its main commercial rival company B, to take control of its boardroom. By taking decisions which undermine the health of that company, A's owner can shrink B's market share and profitability, and ultimately run it out of business altogether. That's clearly not in the interests of the other shareholders of company B. So fairness requires that they are offered a fair price for every shareholder to sell to the takeover bidder. That rivalry scenario may not apply at Ibrox, but the law still does. And since the Takeover Panel last month told Dave King he had a month to make an offer to buy all the club's shares, he seems to have simply ignored it. That's why the Panel is taking the unprecedented action of seeking to enforce its ruling, through the Court of Session. The court can take whatever action it believes is necessary to ensure the law is observed. Mr King could, for instance, be barred from acting as a director, or forced to sell his stake in the club. And if Mr King continues to ignore legal authority, he can be ruled in contempt of court. The Takeover Panel's code also includes measures for "cold shouldering" - for instance, requiring professional bodies to challenge the director's continued status within them. That may not much bother a businessman in South Africa, but if it pushes the financial regulator to ensure financial companies don't have anything to do with a delinquent director, then that could hurt a bit more. Now, here are two puzzling complications. The Takeover Panel ruling says that Mr King must offer to buy all the other shares at 20 pence. But if you look at the platform on which Rangers International Football Club (RIFC) shares are traded, you'll find the most recent trades have been at 27.5 pence. It might, at first, seem daft to sell your shares for 20 pence when the going rate appears to be 27.5 pence. But that going rate may not be as it seems. The trading platform won't tell you is how recent these trades were. That market is not like the London stock exchange. You put up a share stake for sale, and wait for someone else to show interest. Trading is sticky. It may be possible, that way, to inflate the true value of shares. And if you have shares in any company, they are only worth something if you can find someone to buy them. It matters a lot that such markets have liquidity - meaning enough willing buyers. The other puzzlement is the 10.4% of the company that's owned by anonymous funds that have refused to respond to messages from Ibrox. Blue Pitch Holdings has four million shares, ATP Investments has 2.6m, Norne Anstalt has 1.2m and Putney Holdings has 700,000. Directors have written to them "requiring information about the nature of those interests". And having received no answer, they have barred these shareholders from exercising voting rights, receiving any dividends, or having a transfer of shares registered. That should make them impossible to sell. These appear to be zombie shareholders, which many may wish to link to those with a previous interest in running the club. Whoever is behind them, it's a weird presence on the share register of a company which is now in a lot of hot water. Of course, Dave King could solve his Takeover Panel problems by now making an offer for those shares, including the zombie element. That could cost him £11m, plus hefty advice, offer and transaction costs. That would set back to square one the romantic notion of ownership by the wider fan base, eventually handing control to the fans. It would also require Mr King to make good on his commitment to the club. He is supposed to be very rich, from his South African businesses. His clash with the country's tax authorities would suggest he must have done a lot of successful business to have failed to pay so much tax on it. We don't know how he got into that very expensive mess in his tax affairs. But the evidence suggests he may be the kind of person who receives official-looking letters and stuffs them in a drawer in the hope that the problem goes away. As a general rule, it doesn't. The £20m programme was launched last year with underperforming schools getting access to expertise and more resources. Around two thirds of the schools had improved on last year's GCSE results. Education Minister Huw Lewis said there had been a "breakthrough" in performance. "These are some of our most challenged schools and to see some of them reporting percentage improvement in the double figures really is remarkable." Prof Mel Ainscow, champion for Schools Challenge Cymru, said at this stage Wales was ahead of where London and Manchester had been after the first year of their programmes. "Overall the results are exceptionally good," he told BBC Wales. "Some of the schools have made almost unbelievable progress including some schools serving quite disadvantaged communities where in the past people have had pretty low expectations. "We're seeing with collective effort and support from outside people in those schools are really making a difference." Although a third of the 40 schools had not improved results, Prof Ainscow said he expected progress at all schools in 2016 and the focus in the second year would be on helping those that needed to catch up. Ravi Pawar, head of Blackwood Comprehensive, which had seen a 10% improvement in A* to C grades, said it was not about quick gains. "The funding itself is important and enables us to make investments we need to sustain improvement for the future," he said. The school's learning resources centre has been renovated with up to date computers, and the exams hall itself had also been improved. St Cenydd in Caerphilly, Tonypandy and Pentrehafod in Swansea all reported their best ever results. Martin Holland, head of Ysgol Clywedog in Wrexham - where results have provisionally improved by 4.5% - said they had put a lot of effort in turning things around after the school was in special measures. "Belief is the biggest single factor - that students can achieve but also from the staff's perspective. "There was a huge amount of negativity associated with the school and we've tried to turn that around. It's a place of vibrancy and energy with a can-do attitude." Manus Deery was 15 when he was killed in the Bogside area of Derry. A barrister for the MoD and PSNI accepted the teenager had not been carrying a weapon and that the shooting breached military guidelines. The Deerys led a long campaign to uncover the truth. Helen Deery, Manus' sister, said: "My whole family is delighted and we are all really emotional. "Manus would have been 60 this Thursday. It's bitter sweet but I'm relishing the fact the truth has been told. "It's been difficult recently being in court. We also had another brother die in the middle of the inquest. It's a shame he never lived to see today. "I have the main answers and that's that he was innocent. When I heard the news, I was very emotional. It's a great feeling that his innocence has been recognised. "My brother was called a terrorist for almost 45 years. We knew he wasn't. He was a beautiful wee boy. "Every year after he died I dreaded Christmas Eve because I have memories of me and Manus opening other peoples' presents. His innocence will come back to me again this Christmas Eve. "The soldier that killed Manus is dead. We are going to speak to our solicitor about prosecutions and where we go from here. "Compensation was never on the cards for my family." A barrister told the court: "He was behaving lawfully. He was innocent of any wrongdoing at the time of his death. "We accept that there was a breach of the Yellow Card and that the decision (to shoot) was premature and cannot be justified," he added. "The MoD accept that Manus was unarmed and did not pose a threat. That is undisputed." The killing, which took place at the height of the Troubles, is one of a number of controversial security force cases being re-examined by the coroner. At a fresh inquest last month, the name of the soldier who killed Manus Deery was officially disclosed for the first time. Private William Glasgow was never convicted and has since died. The soldier had maintained that he fired at what appeared to be a gunman about 200 metres away, missed, and the stray bullet killed the boy. They queued patiently to view his coffin before it began its solemn journey to a city cemetery. Several EU politicians and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny were barred from attending the funeral. Hours later, Mr Navalny accused the Russian authorities of responsibility for the murder. In a statement (in Russian) from jail, where he is serving a 15-day sentence, he said: "I believe that Nemtsov was murdered by members of a government (special services) or pro-government organisation on the order of the country's political leadership (including Vladimir Putin)." The question, he said, was whether the order had been given to kill Nemtsov or "stage an action that would have a high impact". Alternatively, he alleged that Nemtsov had been killed on the order of officials in Yaroslavl region, where he had been investigating corruption. No arrests have been made and no motive has been established for the crime. Nemtsov's final resting place is at Troyekurovskoye Cemetery, where murdered journalist Anna Politkovskaya was buried in 2006. A fierce critic of President Vladimir Putin, he was shot dead on a bridge near the Kremlin wall on Friday night. New CCTV footage of the presumed getaway car has been released by a pro-Kremlin Russian news website, LifeNews. The video shows a vehicle making its way along Moscow streets but there is no close-up on the suspects inside. Thousands turned out to bid farewell to Boris Nemtsov. They stood quietly, as a light snow fell, in a long queue that snaked around the park, up the hill and right on to Moscow's Garden Ring road. They brought flowers and lit candles, and talked of a man who - as a politician - had been like a 'bright light' to them: honest, and a true democrat. As a man, they remembered someone full of energy and jokes; handsome, too, and easygoing. As well as sorrow at his death, I found people were deeply sceptical that those who killed Boris Nemtsov would ever be found. His open coffin lay in a small room, surrounded by photographs of a life in politics. Many of those who took turns at the microphone there believe he was killed for his critical views. They accused their leaders of stirring up hatred of dissenters and using the powerful state run media machine to paint them as traitors. One man in the queue told me that for him, though, Boris Nemtsov was the real patriot. A man who just wanted Russia to live better. Who shot Boris Nemtsov? Nemtsov killing polarises society Profile: Boris Nemtsov So many people came to see Nemtsov's coffin that when the viewing at the Sakharov human rights centre ended after its scheduled four hours, hundreds of people were still queuing outside. "He was our ray of light," said Valentina Gorbatova, 80. "With his help, I think Russia would have risen up and become a strong country. It is the dream of all progressive people in Russia." Former UK Prime Minister John Major, who was in Moscow to pay his respects, called for a full, transparent investigation into Nemtsov's murder, saying his voice would not be silenced. It was, he added, his "saddest ever visit to Moscow". Latvian MEP Sandra Kalniete told the BBC she had been refused entry into Russia at Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow without a proper explanation. She said she had been made to wait two hours at the airport before being denied entry. Bogdan Borusewicz, the Polish senate speaker who was to have led a delegation from his country, was denied a visa. Russia said he was on a list of Polish officials barred from travelling to Russia, drawn up after the EU imposed sanctions on Russia over its involvement in Ukraine. That drew condemnation from the EU, with European Parliament President Martin Schulz calling it a "high affront" which would further set back relations with Moscow. He said such actions were "without the slightest element of reasoning" and said he would demand an official explanation. President Putin was not attending the funeral, the Kremlin said. It sent in his stead the presidential envoy to the parliament, a relatively minor official. Tens of thousands of people marched through central Moscow on Sunday to honour Nemtsov, with the opposition claiming some 50,000 people had attended the event. Nemtsov had been due to lead an opposition march that day, but his killing turned the event into a mourning rally. His allies have accused the Kremlin of involvement but President Putin condemned the murder as "vile" and "provocative", vowing to find the killers. Nemtsov, 55, had been walking home from a restaurant with his Ukrainian girlfriend, Anna Durytska, when he was shot four times. Ms Durytska, a 23-year-old model, was allowed to return to Ukraine after being questioned by Russian police. She told Russian media she had not seen the killer, who struck from behind. Russia's Federal Protective Service, in charge of presidential security, has said its surveillance cameras did not record the shooting because they were pointed towards the Kremlin. Kelly went past favourite L'Ami Serge in the final strides, having earlier won the opener on Coo Star Sivola. Willy Twiston-Davies joined an elite list of jockeys to have ridden a winner at Royal Ascot and Cheltenham when scoring with handicap hurdler Cogry. Meanwhile, 50-1 shot Tour Des Champs gave trainer Samuel Drinkwater a winner with his first runner at the track. Whisper beat Clan Des Obeaux to land the Dipper Novices' Chase. Kelly - riding for her stepfather, trainer Nick Williams - has called for female riders to be given more opportunities. She had previously described her season as "pants" with only three winners before these two victories at Cheltenham "It's been a tough season and I'm just glad we've come here today and the hard work of everyone has paid off," she said after 16-1 shot Agrapart defeated L'ami Serge, ridden by Daryl Jacob, to seal a 92.5-1 double. Five professional female jump jockeys enjoyed wins around the country on New Year's Day- Kelly joined by Lucy Alexander, Lucy Gardner, Megan Carberry and Bridget Andrews. Twiston-Davies teamed up with his trainer father Nigel for his first win over the jumps at Cheltenham, six months after partnering Primitivo to victory at Flat racing's blue riband Ascot meeting. "It's really really special," said the 6ft tall jockey, who grew up 12 miles from the course. Tour Des Champs was the second winner of a fledgling career for ex-amateur jockey Drinkwater, who has a stable of nine horses. "I've been training about a month and that's my sixth runner. The old heart skipped a few beats and I thought I was dreaming it," he said. Former top hurdler Whisper, ridden by Davy Russell for trainer Nicky Henderson, could be aimed at the JLT Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March. "He jumped great, he knows what he is doing," Russell told ITV after the first race broadcast by the channel in more than 30 years. Cornelius Lysaght, BBC racing correspondent New Year's Day, and inevitably thoughts turn to what can be better in the months ahead. For racing, it's the constant battle to gain the level of appreciation to the wider sporting psyche it feels it deserves. With horses like Thistlecrack and likeable, articulate characters like Lizzie Kelly, it'll feel it has a decent chance in 2017. However, Kelly is nowhere near just a woman making an impression in a male-dominated world: both these wins showcased her riding talents. The first very well-judged, the second a demonstration of genuine strength in the saddle. It found 11% of patients were waiting longer than the 26-week target for non-emergency treatment in March 2014 and that targets were last met in 2010. A report said "prudent healthcare" focusing on the minimum treatment needed could save time and resources. Auditor General Huw Vaughan-Thomas said the NHS "will need to act strongly and bravely" to make meaningful changes. He said: "We are clear in our findings; the current approach to delivering services does not deliver sustainably low waiting times. "As I have highlighted before, there needs to be an open and honest discussion about the way services are delivered." The report - NHS Waiting Times for Elective Care in Wales - called on the NHS and the Welsh government to "radically re-shape" the outpatient system to reduce the risk of "over-treatment" and an overreliance on hospital-based consultants to diagnose and advise on treatment. A Welsh government spokesperson said: "We welcome the Wales Audit Office's report, which recognises the good practice underway across Wales, the prudent healthcare agenda and our planned care programme, which will set and deliver good practice across the country." The Education Select Committee will assess the implications of the UK's exit from the European Union on the reputation of England's universities. The inquiry will consider how England's universities can remain competitive. It will examine what Brexit means for EU students and staff already studying here and what it means for British students who want to work in the EU. The committee will also report on what steps the government should take to mitigate the risks of Brexit and take advantage of opportunities. The MPs hope the findings will influence the Brexit negotiations and inform the public. Their investigation comes as some vice-chancellors consider opening campuses in Europe to offset the Brexit effect. University bosses, lecturers and students will be able to submit their written views via the inquiry webpage until 11 November. Neil Carmichael, who chairs the committee, said: "There are fears that Britain's withdrawal from the European Union will have a negative impact on higher education. "Concerns range from being able to attract the brightest students from across Europe to making sure UK universities maintain their places among the world's best. "The education committee is keen to hear from university leaders, academics, students and others, as we examine the opportunities for higher education post-Brexit and consider what the government's priorities should be for the sector going into the negotiations with the EU." The inquiry follows the expansion of the committee's remit to include higher education, further education and skills, following changes at the Department for Education. The impact of Brexit on university research and funding will not be covered by the inquiry as these policy areas come under the responsibility of the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The 31-year-old joined Bolton in February until the end of the season after being released by Bradford and contributed 13 assists to help the Trotters win promotion from League One. Morais told the club website: "I'm really excited at what lies ahead and so happy that it's all sorted. "Bolton Wanderers is the only place I really wanted to be." Spotter says its clients include the Home Office, EU Commission and Dubai Courts. The algorithm-based analytics software generates reputation reports based on social and traditional media material. However some experts say such tools are often inadequate because of the nuance of language. A spokeswoman for the Home Office said she should not comment at this time. Spotter's UK sales director Richard May said the company monitored material that was "publicly available". Its proprietary software uses a combination of linguistics, semantics and heuristics to create algorithms that generate reports about online reputation. It says it is able to identify sentiment with up to an 80% accuracy rate. The company says these reports can also be verified by human analysts if the client wishes. Algorithms had been developed to reflect various tones in 29 different languages including Chinese, Russian and Arabic, said Mr May. "Nothing is fool-proof - we are talking about automated systems," he told the BBC. "But five years ago you couldn't get this level of accuracy - we were at the 50% mark." Mr May added one of the most common subjects for sarcasm was bad service - such as delayed journeys. "One of our clients is Air France. If someone has a delayed flight, they will tweet, 'Thanks Air France for getting us into London two hours late' - obviously they are not actually thanking them," he said. "We also have to be very specific to specific industries. The word 'virus' is usually negative. But if you're talking about virus in the context of the medical industry, it might not be." Spotter charged a minimum of £1,000 per month for its services, Mr May said. Simon Collister, who lectures in PR and social media at the London College of Communication, told the BBC there was "no magic bullet" when it came to analytics that recognise tone. "These tools are often next to useless - in terms of understanding tone, sarcasm, it's so dependent on context and human languages," he said. "It's social media and what makes it interesting and fascinating is the social side - machines just can't comprehend that side of things in my opinion." Mr Collister added that human interpretation was still vital. "The challenge that governments and businesses have is whether to rely on automated tools that are not that effective or to engage a huge amount of human effort." Col Adam Griffiths said the rumours were partly caused by insurgents' efforts to discredit coalition forces. He was appearing before the Al-Sweady inquiry, which is examining claims UK troops mistreated and killed detainees after the "Battle of Danny Boy". He was the first of up to 200 British military witnesses to appear at the inquiry, which began in 2010. The inquiry seeks to identify the events surrounding the deaths of more than 20 Iraqi men. It is concerned with the Battle of Danny Boy - named after a British checkpoint near the town of Majar al-Kabir in southern Iraq in May 2004, during the Iraq war. Iraqi insurgents ambushed soldiers, leading to a firefight which turned into a three-hour battle, including the use of bayonets. The allegations centre on whether or not, at the end of the battle, the Iraqis taken from the battlefield were dead or alive. Lawyers acting for several Iraqi clients claim that some were taken alive and mistreated or unlawfully killed at Camp Abu Naji and Shaibah Logistics Base. The MoD, British troops and their lawyers vigorously deny the claims, saying those who died were killed on the battlefield. Col Griffiths was the officer commanding B Company, 1st Battalion the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and was leading a "rover group" which was set upon at the start of the clash. After the battle, he said he had received a "highly unusual" order to pick up the bodies of men who had just been killed. He did not want his soldiers to pick up the bodies but said the order had been given by the British headquarters in Iraq to try to identify a man thought to be involved in the murder of six UK military policemen the year before. He said his soldiers returned to camp with about 12 dead bodies in two Land Rovers. "I did not believe any of our soldiers had mutilated a body and I did not see at the time, and have not seen since, any evidence to support this proposition," he said. "I thought then, and I still think now, that the rumours were baseless and caused by a combination of ignorance amongst the local population as to the traumatic injuries that can be suffered in combat and the misinformation spread by insurgents who wished to discredit the coalition forces." He said the men's injuries - gunshot wounds, broken bones and limbs at "unnatural angles" - were all consistent with battlefield injuries. Asked if there was any mistreatment of Iraqis on the battlefield, as alleged, he replied: "No." Asked if detainees were executed at the camp that night, he replied: "Absolutely not. Categorically not." Col Griffiths said he had been worried there could be a "witch-hunt" by the Royal Military Police so had made copious notes about the day's events soon afterwards, he added. A second soldier, Sgt James Gadsby - who at the time was a lance corporal - later told the inquiry he helped to unload bodies at Camp Abu Naji. He said there were about 10 bodies in total. "I could see the bodies and faces of the dead that had been removed from the Land Rovers," he said. "One of the bodies that was laid out on the ground had his eye shot out and another had half his arm hanging off." But he said he did not see any injuries "that I believe were inconsistent with having been sustained as a result of the firing of ammunition commonly used on the battlefield". He said he became aware of the number of Iraqis killed in the battle when he returned to the UK and was told he could buy a T-shirt with the names of the platoons which served on the tour and the number of enemy killed. The T-shirt said 23 people were recorded as dead during the battle, Sgt Gadsby added. The Al-Sweady inquiry - the second investigation into the claims surrounding Danny Boy - is named after one of the men, 19-year-old Hamid al-Sweady, and is being chaired by retired High Court judge Sir Thayne Forbes at Finlaison House in central London. It is the second public inquiry into allegations of abuse by British troops in Iraq following one that examined the death in 2003 of Baha Mousa. The Iraqi hotel worker died while in British custody, and an inquiry found he had suffered an "appalling episode of serious gratuitous violence" at the hands of British forces in Iraq. Three years passed between the setting up of the Al-Sweady inquiry and its opening as staff, including retired detectives, trawled through as many as 12,000 documents. The inquiry has cost more than £19m so far and is due to report back by the end of 2014. Police said a red Jaguar XS and a silver Vauxhall Corsa crashed on the Luton Road in Fancott, near Toddington, at 23:18 GMT on Tuesday. The male Corsa driver and a female passenger were pronounced dead at the scene. A third passenger, a female, was taken to the Luton and Dunstable Hospital, but later died. One victim was 18 and two were in their 20s and from the Luton area. See more on this story and other news on Beds, Herts & Bucks Live. The driver of the Jaguar, a man in his 60s also from the Luton area, is still being treated for his injuries in hospital. The cars were travelling in the opposite directions when they collided. Police have appealed for witnesses, saying they're particularly keen to speak to the driver of a vehicle that was travelling in front of the Corsa before the crash. Stefan Scougall was the star of the show for the Blades as he scored the first and then set up Billy Sharp's second-half winner, which meant the Dons' life after Karl Robinson ended in defeat. The tone was set in just the fifth minute when Scougall swept home from eight yards following good work by John Fleck from a recycled corner. Chris Wilder's men had further chances to go in front but Daniel Lafferty headed wide and Fleck could not keep a low shot on target. And that allowed the Dons, under the caretaker stewardship of Richie Barker following Robinson's exit earlier in the week, to get back in the game as they levelled in the 49th minute when Darren Potter drilled home from the edge of the area. But the Blades are a different breed under Wilder this season and they won it midway through the second half when Sharp finished from close range after fine work from Scougall on the byline.

There are local parties, very left-wing parties, very right-wing parties, parties called things like World Peace Through Song, various permutations of religious parties and of course a great array of single-issue campaigners. Fancy something completely different from the mainstream offering? If you live in the right constituency, you could be in luck. You could peruse the manifesto of Children of the Atom, standing in Shrewsbury & Atcham (click on constituency names for full candidate lists), which it describes as a "radical" and "transformative" set of ideas for a brave new world. It focuses on the creation of debt-free money, a single 10% annual tax on all electronic bank deposits and issued notes and coins, and a universal payment to every citizen for life equal to the average wage. "Changing the world for the better cannot be achieved with systems that are built for a bygone age and to enrich the few," says leader Stirling McNeillie. "We need to start again from scratch." Or what about the Humanity party - slogan "love is always the answer" - standing in Derbyshire Dales. It says its policies are a matter for its participants to determine as they feel appropriate, but it does list a set of principles they should adhere to including: Or there's The New Society of Worth in Preseli Pembrokeshire, which propose email voting on all local and national issues. It wants to reduce the pensionable age, opposes fracking and asks on its website: "Have you noticed lately there is now a lack of ambulances? This will be changed by TNSW." Ubuntu, inspired by the South African party of the same name, formed in the UK last year and is standing in Stoke-on-Trent Central and Sutton Coldfield. It says its policies are based on the principles of "contributionism" and it wants to move "from a money-driven society to a society driven by people, their talents and their passion for life". Manifesto pledges include: "There doesn't have to be money," says Stoke candidate Paul Toussaint. "The system that we've got is favouring the few and making a lot of other people suffer." Hoi Polloi - sample slogan "the great and the good are not that great and not much good" - wants to "wrestle democracy back from the political class". Filmmaker Geoff Moseley, standing in Hornsey & Wood Green, is fed up with all politicians, and doesn't even agree with manifesto pledges. "They're not worth the paper they're written on," he says. "If manifestos were contracts, we could take governments to court and hold them liable for not fulfilling their stated objectives. But they're not... "I want a new political era. Russell Brand has been talking about revolution: I'm trying to start one." It is his first election and he says he will be "lucky to keep my deposit" but hopes to enlarge his party in the future. "There's a lot of disillusionment out there." All a bit much? Rather focus on a single issue? Cista, or Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol, is fielding 32 candidates. It describes itself as the first pro-drug reform political party to contest a general election across the UK and its manifesto pledges include: The Land Party - whose sole candidate Derek Jackson is standing against David Cameron and others in Witney - is, perhaps unsurprisingly, campaigning for all people to have land. Other policies include: The Above and Beyond party is fielding five candidates around England and Wales, and its manifesto focuses almost solely on getting a mandatory "none of the above" option on all ballot papers for all UK general elections. If you're worried about overpopulation, the Population Party is standing in Stretford and Urmston. Its manifesto lists policies in areas like sex education, economic strategy, "family subsidies" and international aid. "Taking moderate action now to slow and reverse population growth would help the United Kingdom to meet many of the policy changes it faces," says candidate Paul Carson. Or what about the Beer, Baccy and Scratchings party - which had to change its name from Beer, Baccy and Crumpet after the Electoral Commission deemed it sexist - standing in Eastleigh. Despite its quirky name, it says it has "serious political objectives" and Mr Hall is an "anti-austerity candidate caring for the interests of lower-income families". Among its aims are: All a bit serious? Well there are some more classically wacky pledges around. The Eccentric Party of Great Britain's candidate is former Monster Raving Loony Lord Toby Jug. He's standing against Boris Johnson among others - including his former Loony colleague Howling Laud Hope - in Uxbridge & South Ruislip, and has a list of policies including: His old mates at the Monster Raving Loony Party have not yet published their 2015 manifesto. But the party has an array of policy proposals on its website. Its 16 candidates are campaigning to: No Monster Raving Loony Party candidate has yet retained their deposit. But it does say governments tend to adopt so many of its ideas that "we're the government's think tank". The Blue Air flight to Bucharest burned off fuel over the Irish Sea and north Wales after taking off at 10:10 BST. The Boeing 737 passenger plane landed safely at the airport shortly after 12:30 BST, the airport confirmed. Passengers are still on board the aircraft, flight OB134, which is undamaged. The pilot did not declare an emergency. A spokesman for the airport said the plane was being refuelled ready for take-off. The pilot called 20 minutes into the flight reporting the suspected strike. Bird strikes usually involve airborne animals being sucked into aircraft engines during take-off and landing. Earlier this year, academics from Swansea University and Argentina's National University of Comahue warned that bird strikes with aircraft and other man-made structures are on the increase. The teenager was found on a towpath near Burrows Court, Eldonian Village, in the Vauxhall area of the city, by a member of the public at about 23:10 GMT on Sunday. He was taken to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, where he died a short while later, police said. Police have launched a murder investigation and forensic examinations are being carried out. The boy's next of kin have been informed. Updates on this story and more from Merseyside and Cheshire. Officers said they are trying to establish a motive for the shooting and high visibility patrols have been stepped up in the area to reassure the public. House-to-house inquiries are under way. At the scene Marc Gaier, BBC Radio Merseyside The Leeds-Liverpool canal, which runs through the Eldonian Village, has been cordoned off at both sides and there are plenty of police vehicles here, with many people having to alter their walk to school. Burrows Court residents tell me youngsters do come here to smoke but there's very little trouble normally and they are mystified by what's happened. When asked by Buzzfeed News, he said: "No, I'm focused on building our community at Facebook and working on the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative." Speculation that Mr Zuckerberg might run for president was fuelled when he made political comments and announced a tour of US states. The 32-year-old would be old enough to stand for president in 2020. In April 2016, Fortune reported that Facebook had agreed changes to its company structure that would allow Mr Zuckerberg to stand in an election. He has also softened his approach to religion, describing it as "very important", in a Christmas post. Mr Zuckerberg had previously described himself as an atheist, which might have limited his appeal with some US citizens. In January, he announced a "personal challenge" to visit and speak to people in every US state, including 30 he had not visited before. Presidential candidates typically tour US states to drum up support. Buzzfeed News said Mr Zuckerberg had "not immediately responded" to further questions about possible political ambitions. It follows recent media reports suggesting Michael Beaumont might be open to the sale of the Fief of Sark in the future. He said: "I will not sell the fief under any circumstances for any sum, however high. "I have no intention of reneging on my obligations accepted on my becoming seigneur." Mr Beaumont said: "If Chief Pleas becomes unable to operate as a free democratic assembly due to external intimidation then I would give serious consideration to surrendering my lease to the Crown." The island's government underwent significant reform in 2008, following a referendum after calls for change were made under the European Convention of Human Rights. Those changes did not include the abolition of the feudal roles of Seigneur and Seneschal. The billionaire brothers Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay, who own the neighbouring island of Brecqhou, have been among those calling for more radical reform, including an end the feudal roles. In 2010 the Seneschal stood down from his role as president of Chief Pleas as he was seen to have an "unfair" dual role because he is also the island's senior judge. The role of Seigneur, or Lord, of Sark is a hereditary title. Mr Beaumont became the 22nd person to take up the position in 1974. It dates back to 1565 when Queen Elizabeth I granted a fief for the island, on condition that it was kept free of pirates and occupied by at least 40 men who could carry arms. Lady Hale, deputy president of the Supreme Court, said the state had a duty to uphold that right and to cater for those with disabilities. The court ruled three disabled people living in supported accommodation had been illegally deprived of their freedom under mental health legislation. Charities called for new guidance. The judgement, which overturns decisions by the Court of Appeal, is likely to have far reaching consequences for thousands in similar circumstances. The three individuals - two sisters with learning difficulties and a man with cerebral palsy - need intensive support to carry out basic tasks and have no capacity to determine what is best for them. There had been no debate as to whether their care arrangements were appropriate. The court concluded their liberty had been deprived as they would have been prevented from leaving their accommodation. Seven Supreme Court justices ruled that deprivation of liberty had to be authorised under the terms of the Mental Capacity Act (2005) and living arrangements regularly checked. European Human Rights legislation did apply to the trio, the court ruled, and other similar individuals had the right to a regular assessment of the appropriateness of their care. Speaking after the ruling, Lady Hale said: "It is axiomatic that people with disabilities, both mental and physical, have the same human rights as the rest of the human race." Human rights "have sometimes to be limited or restricted" because of disabilities, but the basis for freedoms should be the same for everyone, she said. This was not changed by the fact many people were detained in comfortable care facilities, she said, because a "gilded cage" was "still a cage". The state had a "duty to make reasonable accommodation to cater for the special needs of those with disabilities", she added. Charities working with disabled people said the ruling was a "landmark" for the protection of people with mental illness. Mark Lever, chief executive of the National Autistic Society (NAS), said the ruling was "a victory for the rights of vulnerable people ". "This landmark [ruling] makes it clear that people with autism have the same right as anyone else," Mr Lever said. Mind, which campaigns for people with mental illness, said the judgement provided "much-needed clarity on a hugely complicated issue". Chief executive Paul Farmer added: "We call on the government to urgently issue clear guidance to care providers and local authorities so that they can implement this judgment." Lawyers who represent disabled people also welcomed the ruling. Last week, a House of Lords committee found laws covering those in hospitals or care homes were being flouted regularly. The committee said it was likely many people were having their liberty deprived illegally. But she told the BBC from the hospital where her daughter is receiving treatment that she is thankful for the support the family has received worldwide. "I am very grateful to all the people who have supported us through this ordeal," she said. Her daughter was attacked and repeatedly raped by six men in June as she returned from her grandfather's funeral in Tingolo village in Busia County, western Kenya. Her unconscious body was thrown into a pit latrine and she is now in a wheelchair. Her case caused an uproar after Kenya's influential Daily Nation newspaper reported that the police in Busia had asked three of the suspects she identified as her rapists to cut grass as punishment and had chosen not to prosecute them. In a BBC interview on Thursday, Police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said an investigation into the girl's allegation had been concluded, but still no decision had been taken on whether it was a rape case. He said he was unaware that her alleged attackers were ordered to cut grass and that the case was reported to police only two months after "the incident". But several hundred activists in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, carrying placards, waving underwear and beating drums marched to the police headquarters, where the inspector general's office is located, and handed over a petition calling for the arrest of the suspects and the officers who allegedly failed to prosecute them. The petition, which was started online, was signed by more than 1,200,000 people from around the world. Saida Ali, executive director of the Coalition on Violence Against Women (COVAW) rights group, was among the protesters who handed the petition to police on Thursday. "The response was polite, they promised to take action, so we will wait to see that action," she said. The girl, who is called Liz to protect her identity, is being cared for at the Gynocare Centre in Eldoret, 156km (97 miles) from Busia. Her mother is staying with her at the hospital. I briefly saw Liz, who answered my greeting in Swahili, the main language in Kenya, but the rest of the time she just stared, showing no emotion. We were told that this is an improvement and that last week she had refused to look any of her visitors in the eye. The Nation Media Group, a Kenya-based media house which first reported the story, has paid the medical bills for Liz amounting to more than $7,000 (£4,300). Their reporter named her Liz and that is how the world now knows her. Her mother said that since the online campaign began some people had even set up an education fund for Liz. But her medical condition is still of concern. She suffered fistula because of the rape - a condition where she lost control of the flow of urine and stool. The programme manager at the hospital, Jared Momanyi, said she had undergone surgery to correct the fistula. "She was also traumatised but has been receiving counselling and she is improving," he added. She also injured her spine when she was thrown down the pit latrine and has been unable to walk for some time. Since the matter went public, and viral, the mother says some family members of the suspects have been threatening her. "They said that if their sons are arrested I'll see fire," she said. Earlier her husband had to endure insults from a father of one suspect, who had initially offered to help the family, and then rescinded his decision. "I want the suspects to be arrested and justice to be done. Up to now no-one has been arrested. I hear some have gone into hiding," Liz's mother said. The inspector general of police confirmed that the suspects could not be traced, adding that they had fled into Uganda. Busia - where the incident took place - is near the Kenya-Uganda border. The Director of Public Prosecution, Keriako Tobiko, has ordered their arrests but none has been made so far. However, Mr Tobiko confirmed to the BBC that he had received the investigations file from the police and was going through it. "I will press charges once I find sufficient evidence," he said. The Sexual Offences Act of 2006 spells out tough punitive measures against people convicted of various sexual crimes. The Act empowers the court to issue a sentence of not less than 15 years for a conviction of gang rape, but the court may extend the sentence to imprisonment for life. The police in June released a report showing that reported cases of rape had increased to 383 between January and May this year, from 332 for the same period last year. Police stations in Kenya are expected to have a gender desk where such cases are reported. But Liz's mother rarely smiled during her interview - she sounded like she had lost faith in the authorities. Three of the 137 tigers at the temple in Kanchanaburi province were moved on Monday. The 1,000-personnel operation will last all week. The monks, who deny all allegations, resisted at first but gave in when presented with a court order. The tigers are being taken to animal refuges, authorities said. The Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua Tiger Temple, a popular tourist destination, has for years resisted official efforts to take away the animals. Visitors are able to feed the animals and take photographs for a fee, despite the temple being banned from charging admission fees or money. "We have a court warrant this time, unlike previous times when we only asked for the temple's co-operation, which did not work," Adisorn Nuchdamrong, deputy director-general of the Department of National Parks told AFP. Monks at the controversial temple have been accused of illegally breeding tigers and animal trafficking. A previous raid in February 2015 revealed jackals, hornbills and Asian bears kept at the sanctuary without the necessary permits. The two power grids will be connected by 138km of overhead lines between Moy in County Tyrone and County Meath. The northern section has still not been granted approval, with a decision not likely until mid-or-late 2017. It will be taken by Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard following a public inquiry. However, the green-light in the south is seen as a milestone for the project. EirGrid's proposal to construct almost 300 pylons in Meath, Cavan and Monaghan had been objected to by about 200 landowners on health and environmental grounds. The Northern Ireland section is being overseen by System Operator for Northern Ireland (SONI). Robin McCormick of SONI said the inter-connector is needed to address security of supply problems facing Northern Ireland. "We very much welcome the positive outcome from An Bord Pleanála. It represents significant progress for the project," he said. Kimberley Bridge used the money to prop up her struggling law firm, SFN Solicitors, in Burnley, Lancashire. The 44-year-old, of Cumbrian Way, Burnley, was a partner at the now defunct firm. Financial irregularities were raised by the Solicitors' Regulation Authority (SRA) after a visit in October 2012, Preston Crown Court heard. The authority, which struck Bridge off in April 2014, contacted police and a criminal investigation began. Because of Bridge's actions, the SRA said her company had run up a £186,000 shortfall in its client account by November 2011. She tried to conceal this, the regulator said, by creating a fictitious property sale, then claiming she was taking the lender to court for failing to transfer funds. By August 2012, the SRA said there were £714,000 of payments that had not been allocated to the correct clients in the ledger. Of this, £232,000 had been paid into Bridge's personal account. After sentencing, Det Sgt Nick Hodgeson from Lancashire Police said he was pleased with the outcome of the "long and complex investigation". He said Bridge had shown "little empathy for her actions after preying on her victims", some of whom were "extremely vulnerable". Mr Hodgeson, who said some victims had not been compensated, said: "The public rightly expect that solicitors and those in positions of trust should uphold the highest standards of honesty and integrity. "Her fraudulent activities have been an extreme breach of that trust." They Oak Leafers trailed by seven points at the break, but, inspired by Mark Lynch, performed like men possessed in the second half. They sealed the win with a late goal from substitute Niall Loughlin, giving them the lead for the first time in the 68th minute. After the match Meath boss Mick O'Dowd announced he was standing down. O'Dowd had been in charge for four years, succeeding Séamus McEnaney in 2012. Wind-assisted Meath made a strong start, opening up a six points lead inside the opening six minutes. It wasn't until the 16th minute that Eoghan Brown sent Mark Lynch in for Derry's opening score. The Leinster men got the goal they had been threatening in the 26th minute. Graham Reilly charged through the middle to set up Donnacha Tobin for a shot, which was finished at the far post by Mickey Newman. Meath were coasting at the break, ahead by 1-8 to 0-4, but Derry's strong start to the second half saw them hit a series of scores through Lynch, Christopher Bradley, Eoghan Brown and James Kielt. And when Kielt thumped over a long range free in the 44th minute, just a point separated the sides. Lynch's influence was restricted thereafter by a shoulder injury, but he still contributed a point from a free, after Mickey Bourke and Newman had hit back with Meath points. The Leinster men were still clinging on to a slender lead until the 68th minute, when substitute Loughlin struck for a goal. He collected from Kielt to turn his marker and slot the ball low to the net past Paddy O'Rourke. Derry manager Damian Barton: "In the first half we looked a yard short, mentally and physically we were way behind Mayo and you don't expect that. I was shocked. "We changed our system a bit and pushed up and the four points at the start of the second half gave us a bit of impetus. "We wouldn't have won but for the goal. Niall was sublime in its execution."

But afterwards she said the animal was "dangerous" and wanted her money back. After unsuccessfully suing Mrs Allman, the High Court ordered Mrs Walton, of Doncaster, to pay the former owner's "substantial" legal bill. Mrs Allman refused to take the pony back or return the cash, saying she had honestly described the pony's character before selling him. She said he never displayed any "vicious behaviour" while her own young daughter, Bethan, was looking after him. Mr Justice Snowden's ruling means Mrs Walton's farm has been effectively mortgaged to Mrs Allman who can, if she wishes, seek an order for the property's sale. He added Mrs Allman had "already incurred very substantial costs" but "Mr and Mrs Walton had not made any effort" to pay them. After the hearing, Mrs Allman, who released footage of her daughter Bethan riding Figaro, told BBC Wales: "The original case that she brought against me concerning the sale of the horse was absolute nonsense and should never have gone to court in the first place. "I made a number of offers that she turned down which I think she is probably regretting now. "I'm absolutely relieved that the case has come to an end and I've got security against my legal bills." Mary Ramsay, 60, from Inverness, has had essential tremor since she was a child and requires use of a wheelchair. She has concerns that expenses offered by NHS Highland will not cover the costs of her and her husband's trip to Newcastle for the operation. NHS Highland said it deals with more than 37,000 travel claims each year. Mrs Ramsay's condition causes uncontrollable shaking. Her situation has been highlighted by Highlands and Islands Labour MSP Rhoda Grant in an effort to get her more help. Mrs Ramsay told BBC Radio Scotland's Kaye Adams programme that she could have the surgery at a hospital in Glasgow, but she would have to join a long waiting list for it. NHS Highlands said it would "be happy to review" the Ramsays' case. A spokesman said: "The board deals with over 37,000 claims for travel arrangements each year and the policy of financial assistance for travel requires adherence to two schemes. "The two schemes that NHS Scotland assist patients with travel costs associated with attendance are: the patient travel scheme; and the Highlands and Islands patient travel scheme. "As Mr and Mrs Ramsay are on benefits they both will receive their full travel costs as per the patient travel scheme. "However, accommodation costs are treated differently under the Highlands and Islands patient travel scheme." The jobless rate is now 5.5%, compared with 4.9% for the whole of the UK. Employment in Scotland increased by 17,000 over the three months to reach a total of 2,625,000. The employment rate is now 74%, slightly below the UK average of 74.4%. Scotland's claimant count rose by 200 between May and June and now stands at 74,700. The UK unemployment rate of 4.9% is the lowest since July 2005, according to the Office for National Statistics. The jobless total fell to 1.65 million in the March-to-May period, down 54,000 from the previous quarter. Scottish Minister for Business Paul Wheelhouse said: "While there is much to be welcomed from these figures, including 61,000 more people being employed now than at the pre-recession high point, we know that there is more that we can and must do. "The Scottish economy has strong fundamentals, but as businesses face uncertainty during negotiations over our future relationship with the EU, we will not only work hard to protect Scotland's relationship with the EU, but will strive to make the most of current and future opportunities in our economy as set out in our economic strategy." The UK government's Scottish Secretary David Mundell, said: "It is positive news that employment in Scotland has risen and unemployment has fallen during the second quarter of 2016. "That means more people in Scotland enjoying the security of a regular wage. "But with Scotland's economy showing little growth over the past year, and the country's unemployment rate still higher than the UK overall, there is no room for complacency. "The UK government's priority is working with the Scottish government and other partners as Team UK, to make sure that we get the best deal for Scotland and the whole of the UK in the forthcoming negotiations with the EU." McDonald's, Coco-Cola and Adidas have all issued statements calling for Fifa to take steps to win back trust. The companies are among a host of multi-national giants who are keen to maintain their reputations. Sponsors have made known their concerns about the recent arrests by the US Justice Department of Fifa executives. Visa had been particularly vociferous, warning that unless the global governing body made "changes now", it would "reassess" its sponsorship. This time, Visa said it had nothing further to add to its previous statement. Other key sponsors issued similarly worded statements. McDonald's said: "Our expectation is that Fifa will now act quickly, decisively and transparently to restore its reputation for both the good of the game and for fans worldwide who expect nothing less. The world expects concrete actions and so do we." "Fifa must now seize the opportunity to begin winning back the trust it has lost. We urge Fifa to take concrete actions to fully address all of the issues that have been raised, in a swift and transparent manner," a Coca-Cola statement said: Adidas said: 'As stated before, we expect Fifa to continue to establish and follow transparent compliance standards in everything they do." For the four years of the last "World Cup cycle", from 2011 to 2014, Fifa's six top-tier Global Partners (as was - there are now five) paid a total of $177m (£116m) annually, which means each partner paid roughly $30m a year for this status. Monday marks six months to the start of the Games with organisers saying ticket sales are between 12% and 15%. Craven believe the next two months are crucial to ensure that athletes are not competing in front of small crowds. "Obviously we have concerns and this was a key part of our latest project review in Rio last week," said Craven. "But we have to accept that Brazilians don't buy tickets a year out or even six months out. It is something they do far nearer an event. "While we know from research that 61% of Brazilian people believe tickets are too expensive generally, this is not the case with the Paralympics. "There are two million tickets available for 10 Reals each (£2) and we have got to get that message out there. "We are now working with the organising committee, the Brazilian National Paralympic Committee and the federal and city governments to launch a comprehensive plan to make the public aware of the great value for money. "We want the Rio Paralympics to be the People's Games." The Games, which will be the first in South America, run from 7-18 September with 4,350 athletes from 176 counties competing in 22 sports. The Rio organising committee put 3.3m Paralympic tickets on sale in May 2015, hoping to surpass the 2.7m tickets sold that made London the best-supported Paralympics ever. But Craven is aware that a lot of work still needs to be done ahead of the start of the Olympic Torch Relay in early May, when much of the media and publicity attentions will focus back onto the Olympics, which is also suffering from disappointing ticket sales. "Each Games is its own Games and inspires a new group of people in a different part of the world and it continues to inspire the world through TV coverage," he told BBC World Service. "We are confident that, in these next crucial two months before the Torch Relay starts, we will have great success with ticket sales and can follow London and Rio and will have just as great a Games. "We are saying to the people of Brazil and Rio that this is the opportunity of a lifetime."

The 28-year-old spent a season on loan at Sunderland, who secured their first win in 11 Premier League games against Hull. The Swans are a point above the drop zone but Ki says pride will make Sunderland dangerous opponents. "They won against Hull because they had no pressure," Ki said. "They can enjoy their football. They try to win for their fans and for their pride. "It's going to be a very difficult game against Sunderland and we have to be ready for that. We must win this game." Swansea moved out of the bottom three after a 1-0 win over Everton and with two games remaining they are a point above Hull, who face Crystal Palace on Sunday a day after Swansea play Sunderland. Media playback is not supported on this device South Korea international Ki says Swansea are good enough to survive and secure top-flight football for a seventh successive season. "I believe we have great players and enough quality in this team," Ki added. "For Wales as well there's great pride to stay in the Premier League. "And for myself and my career I don't want to drop to the Championship, I want to stay in the Premier League next season. Ki, wo had joined Swansea from Celtic in 2012, joined Sunderland on a season's long loan for the 2013-14 campaign after he fell out of favour with former manager Michael Laudrup. He won a League Cup runners-up medal during his time at the Stadium of Light and said he had good memories of his loan spell but added there was no place for sentiment. "I'm disappointed for them because they are a big club but for myself I need to win," Ki added. The indigenous woman, who is not being named, was brutally attacked in an Edmonton apartment in 2014. She went to police but was jailed for not answering questions, and forced to testify while wearing leg shackles. Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley has apologised to the woman's family and ordered an investigation. "The facts of this case are disturbing and tragic, and when you add in the treatment of the victim in the system, they are almost incomprehensible," said Mrs Ganley, adding that "both policies and people failed in this case". The woman had been kept in a holding cell next to her attacker for five days and transported to court with him, in the same van, CBC News was the first to report. "I'm the victim and look at me, I'm in shackles," she told Alberta court Judge Raymond Bodnarek in 2015. "You're going to go back to remand tonight," he replied, "so that we can get you back here tomorrow." "Shackles," the 28-year-old woman angrily responded, according to court records. "Aren't you supposed to commit a crime to go to jail?" She was ordered to a cell under a federal criminal law that allows witnesses to be detained if they refuse to answer questions, after she had had been having trouble focusing, and was falling asleep during the first day of testimony. The woman, who was a member of the Cree tribe, died in an unrelated shooting months after the attack. Her attacker, Lance Blanchard, was convicted of aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping and unlawful confinement. Justice Minister Ganley has set up a committee to recommend policies to prevent a similar situation. "There weren't any policies in place to indicate she shouldn't have been shackled," Mrs Ganley said at a press conference after the CBC investigation. "Now, that being said, I'm a little surprised that no one looked at the case and said that this isn't appropriate," she said, adding that the woman's race may have played a role in her treatment. In addition to the committee, Mrs Ganley has also ordered an independent investigation. Media playback is not supported on this device The Briton, 29, triumphed 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (11-9) in three hours and 38 minutes to reach his first season-ending final in London. He will face Serbia's Novak Djokovic with the winner finishing as year-end world number one. Djokovic swept past Japanese fifth seed Kei Nishikori 6-1 6-1 in his last four encounter. The final is live on BBC Two, BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website from 18:00 GMT. It is the first time the battle for the top spot has been fought in the final match of the season. Murray's earlier victory over Canadian fourth seed Raonic extended the Scot's winning streak to a career-best 23 matches, stretching back to September. It was Murray's second lengthy encounter in four days, breaking the tournament record of three hours and 20 minutes he took to beat Japan's Nishikori in the round-robin stage on Wednesday. "I didn't expect to play a long one with someone with a serve like Milos," said Murray. "I'm tired. I've played so much tennis over the last few months. I'll give it my best effort - the best of what I have." Murray was yelling at himself and 17,000 spectators were screaming with every twist and turn before he finally prevailed in an extraordinary contest. He twice failed to serve out the match as the clock ticked past three hours in the final set, and three match points then slipped by in the tie-break. Raonic had lost his past seven matches against Murray, including the finals at Queen's Club and Wimbledon this year, but when his chance came with a match point of his own it was snuffed out by a sharp Murray volley. Finally, at the fourth time of asking, Murray converted a match point to reach his first final at the O2 Arena and remain in control of his number one hopes. "It was an amazing atmosphere," added Murray. "The longer the match went on, the louder the crowd got. This is what we play for. Matches like this and arenas like this. This is one of hardest matches I've played indoors." Raonic took the first set after Murray's second serve had kept him in it for almost an hour, only to double fault on a fourth break point at 5-5. An early break in the second had the Canadian within sight of victory, but only briefly as he followed up with an error-strewn game to hand the advantage back at 2-2. Murray was two points from defeat in the tie-break when he was pegged back to 5-5 but a gorgeous forehand volley edged him ahead again, and a serve levelled the scores. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. It seemed he had finally done enough with a break at 4-4 in the decider, but a pumped-up Raonic thumped away a smash to break back, and two games later he repeated the trick when Murray netted a forehand. But with his knuckles bloodied from angrily punching his racquet rings, Murray would not yield. The Wimbledon champion came through a second nerve-jangling tie-break to secure his place in Sunday's final, and a chance to make history once again. Media playback is unsupported on your device 23 July 2014 Last updated at 14:48 BST Many businesses and homes in more remote parts of Wales are still struggling to get online - and say a poor internet connection can make or break a business when they are trying to do business online. BT says delivering broadband connections across Wales is a massive engineering project and the infrastructure cannot be rolled out overnight. Matt Murray reports. Speaking to the BBC Asian Network, she said: "Every bit of information is taken seriously." One attacker had been the subject of a call to the anti-terror hotline and featured in a jihadi documentary, prompting criticism of police. Ms Dick said the Met and intelligence services would review their actions. Police defended their decision to downgrade an inquiry in 2015 into Khuram Butt, 27, of Barking, east London, who is believed to have been the attack's ringleader. One man called the anti-terror hotline and officers had also viewed the Channel 4 documentary, The Jihadis Next Door, but police said there was no evidence of an attack being planned. She said: "At the present time I do not regard what I have seen as an intelligence failure, but everybody would expect us to look at what has happened and to ensure that both we learn everything that we can, and that we improve and improve and improve." Despite the demands on police after the attacks in Westminster, Manchester and at London Bridge, Ms Dick said morale among officers was high. "What happened in the last 12 weeks with the attacks in London and Manchester and with the five plots which we have thwarted, which had murderous intent and we stopped them, has only given my officers, my staff, the Metropolitan Police, more resolve, more determination," she said. "I think it's brought the country together, the terrorists want to divide us, and it's brought the Met together. People are absolutely determined to do everything they can to stop such an attack in the future." After an election in which the parties clashed over police funding to fight terror, Ms Dick said that she and other anti-terror agencies would be reviewing what was needed in order to prevent further attacks. "I'm not going to say that definitely means this number or that number more pounds or more people let alone more officers," she said. "I do anticipate that when we take a long hard look at how we are dealing with the spread of work that the Metropolitan Police has and this changing terrorist threat, we will be asking for more resources in the future." The commissioner was speaking after police had revealed new details of the 3 June terrorist attack in London, which killed eight people and injured 48. The attackers had previously tried to hire a seven-and-a-half tonne lorry before using a rented van to ram pedestrians, police said. After crashing the van, they used 12in (30cm) pink ceramic knives tied to their wrists to attack passers-by. In the back of the van used in the attack, officers also found wine bottles filled with flammable liquid with rags tied to their necks, along with blow torches to light them. A safe house in Barking, east London, discovered by police contained a copy of the Koran opened at a page describing martyrdom, equipment for making petrol bombs, and plastic bottles and duct tape for constructing fake suicide bomb vests. Forensic evidence at the house suggested that the three attackers, who were shot and killed near Borough Market by police, acted alone. Briefing reporters, Commander Dean Haydon said police had shown "incredible bravery" and praised the public response. He said: "We have stories of people armed with chairs, bottles, anything they could get their hands on with a view to trying to prevent the attackers coming to pubs and bars but also scaring them off to prevent other people being attacked." By Saturday, there had been 20 arrests, 13 buildings searched and 282 witnesses from 19 countries had been questioned in the investigation. The Met Police also said that a 27-year-old man arrested in connection with the London Bridge terror attack had been released without charge on Saturday evening. Six other men remain in custody. Chamakh, who was released by Crystal Palace at the end of last season, had previously attracted interest from Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock. The Moroccan, 32, has signed a deal until January to reunite with Warnock, who managed him at Selhurst Park. "I'm so happy to be here and work with the manager again," Chamakh said. "I'm happy and proud to work with him here." Chamakh joins Sol Bamba and Junior Hoilett as Warnock bolsters a squad second bottom of the Championship. The ex-Bordeaux striker thinks Cardiff can improve quickly under their new manager. "Cardiff are a side that should be on top and I think we can improve going forward," he said. "I'm looking forward to meeting with my new team-mates and getting started. I can't wait to score for my new team." Warnock added: "We've signed Marouane on a short-term deal until January to assess his fitness. "He's a versatile player with pedigree and somebody who impressed me during my time at Crystal Palace." Chamakh, who has made 65 international appearances for Morocco, had a trial this summer with West Brom. Bamba, 31, has signed until 2018 and joins ex-QPR winger Hoilett at the Bluebirds. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai called for countrywide demonstrations against the deteriorating economy. The march went ahead after a ruling by the High Court. Police had initially denied permission. It is the biggest such protest in many years. Africa Live: BBC News updates "Mugabe has no solution to the crisis. We are here to tell Mugabe and his regime that you have failed," Mr Tsvangirai said in a brief speech to supporters. "This is about jobs and improving the economy, which is in dire straits," he added. This march was sanctioned by the High Court, not the police. The placards told a story of displeasure. The young and the old, in red, took to the streets. The police couldn't do much besides watching about 2,000 MDC supporters, supported by trade unions and students, express their misgivings against the state of the economy and President Robert Mugabe's continued rule. This had not been seen in Harare for many years. The police ruthlessness against voices of dissent is well documented. The march was peaceful and countrywide demonstrations are planned in the coming weeks, although it is not clear if those rallies will be allowed. But the march shows that Mr Mugabe's long-time rival, Morgan Tsvangirai (above), who had been dormant since losing the 2013 election, remains a force to reckon with. Elections are due in 2018 and President Mugabe, 92, says he will run again. Opposition to that is now building both within his party and outside. Mr Mugabe has been in power since independence in 1980. He remains active but his increasingly fragile health has sparked speculation over his successor and the direction the country will then take. Zimbabwe's economy has struggled since a government programme seized most white-owned farms in 2000, causing exports to tumble. Unemployment and poverty are endemic and political repression commonplace. Many Zimbabweans have left the country in search of work in South Africa. The new advice comes as a joint BBC Newsnight and British Medical Journal investigation reports that problems with such devices have been long known, but no action taken to block their use. All-metal hips have a high failure rate and rubbing between the ball and cup can cause metal to break off, seeping into tissue and causing complications. But despite the fact that the risks posed by these minute pieces of metal have been known and well documented for decades, patients have been kept in the dark. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said on Tuesday that around 49,000 UK patients with large-head hip implants out of 65,000 with all-metal hips were in a high-risk category. The regulator said that they should have blood tests to check for metal ions, and magnetic resonance imaging scans (MRI) if they have raised metal levels or show adverse symptoms. Dr Susanne Ludgate, Clinical Director of the MHRA, said in a statement: "Clinical evidence shows that patients have a small risk of suffering complications from having metal-on-metal hip implants... "As a precautionary measure, we have today issued updated patient management and monitoring advice to surgeons and doctors that they should annually monitor patients for the lifetime of their metal-on-metal total hip replacements that are sized 36 millimetres or more because this particular type of hip replacement has a small risk of causing complications in patients. This updates previous advice that patients with this type of hip replacement need only be monitored for a minimum of five years after their operation." Concerns are centred on all-metal hips made of cobalt and chromium. As the parts of the joint rub together and wear, metal debris is generated. Potentially toxic metals from this debris can cause inflammation, destroying muscle and bone, and enter the bloodstream. Tony Nargol, a consultant surgeon at the University Hospital of North Tees told Newsnight/BMJ "we are seeing patients with 10, 20, 50 times normal levels. I think our highest level is nearly 300". One all-metal hip device, manufactured by DePuy, a subsidiary of global health giant Johnson & Johnson, called the ASR was recalled in 2010. And the company, which is facing legal action from ASR patients, has set aside $3bn in case they have to pay compensation. But Mr Nargol's research suggests there are also problems with an all-metal version of DePuy's Pinnacle hip implant, which is still on sale. The Pinnacle has cups which can be lined with metal, ceramic or plastic. Mr Nargol's hospital tested the nearly 1,000 patients who had been fitted with the all-metal version of the Pinnacle there. "The trust has brought back all the patients with Pinnacle cups - nearly 1,000 - tested them all, screened them, scanned them, and we know exactly what's happening," he said. "And we found out that of about 970 patients, 75 failures related to metal debris, which is really quite high." DePuy told Newsnight and the BMJ that patient safety is their top priority and that clinical data showed that the Pinnacle was safe. The Newsnight/BMJ investigation has also found that in a bid to prevent dislocation and increase movement DePuy, like other manufacturers, altered its design of the Pinnacle, making the "head" larger and part of the "stem" shorter. However, this was done without trials being conducted to demonstrate safety and effectiveness or post-marketing studies to detect any long-term problems and the MHRA was unaware that the design had been changed. Experts say it is likely that these design changes are responsible for the release of high levels of toxic metals into the body, yet regulators in the US and Europe failed to spot the changes, and despite concerns being raised, failed to warn doctors and patients of the potential dangers. Mr Nargol said he first told DePuy about damaged tissue in metal-on-metal Pinnacle patients in 2008. And e-mails, seen by Newsnight/BMJ, show that Japanese surgeons warned DePuy in 2009 that metal debris from the all-metal Pinnacle was harming patients. In 2010, a senior DePuy executive said in an internal document that he was "concerned" about problems with the metal-on-metal Pinnacle and similar implants. "I feel the problem is emerging as more serious than first thought," he wrote. The Newsnight/BMJ investigation shows that in the face of mounting evidence of risk from metal-on-metal hips manufacturers remained silent and regulators failed to act. Internal company documents, seen by Newsnight/BMJ, show that as early as 2005 DePuy was aware of the damage that could be done to patients by metal-on metal-implants. This included the possibility that they might increase the chances of patients getting some types of cancer: "In addition to inducing potential changes in immune function, there has been concern for some time that wear debris may be carcinogenic," one memo said. "This isn't the unlucky failure to spot the misdemeanours of one rogue company or the occasional unforeseen breakdown of a small number of devices," BMJ investigations editor Deborah Cohen, who has been working with Newsnight, said of the findings. "It is the inability to prevent a whole class of failing hip implants from being used in hundreds of thousands of people globally." Carl Heneghan, Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine in Oxford, says that the fundamental problem is that artificial hips, breast implants, and other devices which are implanted in patients do not have to face the same rigorous tests new drugs do. He says that whereas drugs have to go through years of clinical trials "you could get a device through with a two or three day literature review and no clinical data requirement at the current time". And whereas drugs are cleared by a central body, manufacturers of breast or hip implants can choose who they want to approve their new devices. DePuy used the British Standards Institute, known in the UK for applying its "kite mark" to products it has approved. "This is one very large uncontrolled experiment exposing millions of patients to an unknown risk. We will only find out about the safety of these devices after large numbers of people have already been exposed," says Michael Carome, Deputy Director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group, a US not for profit consumer advocacy group. South Yorkshire Police believe Chester, a 28-year-old Gelding, was led away from its enclosure at High View Stables in Carr Lane, Carr, before the attack. It was then struck on the head by a heavy object at some point between 22:00 on Tuesday and 08:30 BST on Wednesday. Anyone with information is being urged to contact police. The 2014 Commonwealth Games silver medallist is among a 56-strong Great Britain squad travelling to Lille Metropole. The field should include Greece's Olympic champion Ekaterini Stefanidi. Peake said: "Women's pole vaulting is very strong in Europe so competition will be fierce." There is one individual from each nation per event in the European Team Championships with athletes registering points for their country. The 31-year-old competes on Saturday in the three-day championships and is joined by fellow Welsh athletes David Omoregie (110m hurdles) and Rhianwedd Price (1500m) in the British squad. "It is a different format for athletes because it's the one time we are competing for a team," Peake added. "It has a different feel than a standard athletics competition with all of our points going towards the GB team. "So it adds an interesting another level. "I got off to a bit of a slow start this summer and had a couple of difficult competitions. "The last couple of competitions I have done I have managed to step up to the levels I was hoping to be at. "Hopefully I can take the confidence into the weekend." Peake's main ambition is to compete at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in April 2018 after being the only Welsh track and field medallist in Glasgow three years ago. It could be one the last competitions for Peake who works as a physiotherapist. "The main goals for this season was to qualify for the Commonwealth Games and I have done a couple of A standards so hopefully that will be okay for selection," said Peake. "It is going to take quite a lot of planning to be peaking for April which we never normally never have to do but I am looking forward to the challenge. "I have fond memories of the Commonwealth Games. "People might remember me for jumping in the rain on that terrible night in Glasgow but I imagine the weather will be different when we go to the Gold Coast. "I am potentially coming towards the end of my career so it could be one of the last competitions I do so I hope to do my best in the Welsh vest." Images have emerged of the island's surface, 45km (28 miles) north-west of Tonga's capital, Nuku'alofa. The island - which is 500m (1,640 feet) long - was formed after an eruption at the Hunga Tonga volcano that started in December. One scientist said the island was likely to be highly unstable, and dangerous to visitors. The volcano - the full name of which is Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai - erupted for the second time in five years in December. Video captured on a boat hundreds of metres from the volcano showed fast-rising plumes of gas emerging from the sea. Satellite images taken within days of the eruption showed new rock formations, and more sediment in the sea. And next to one of the two islands that previously made up Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai was a large circular crater. A resident of Tonga's main island captured striking images of the new island from its surface. Gianpiero Orbassano, who owns a hotel in Tonga, travelled to the island with two friends and said he was likely to make another trip soon. "It's really quite solid once you are on it and it's quite high," he said. "It felt quite safe - the only difficult thing was getting out of the boat on to the island. The surface was hot, you could feel it. And climbing it was hard in the bright sun." Mr Orbassano, 63, had previously travelled to another new volcanic island in the Pacific, where friends took golf clubs to play on the new landscape. "I don't feel risk," he said. "When I am doing this kind of thing, I'm focusing on my photographs. I don't feel danger." Mary Lyn Fonua, editor of the Matangi Tonga news website, travelled by boat to view the eruption in January. She said: "We got to within 700m of the volcano and when you're that close in a small boat, it can be quite risky. "An underwater volcano behaves quite differently - all the gas can shoot out to the side. But it was a fascinating thing to see, just to watch a whole new island being constructed." Mrs Fonua said she was unlikely to get closer to the new island: "Its quite fragile really, I don't really think you should go on it. And we don't really know if the eruption has finished either." Matt Watson, a reader in natural hazards at the University of Bristol, said the surface of the island was likely to be "highly unstable". "It will be very loose and unconsolidated material," he said. "It's formed by fragmentation of magma, so it's basically small pieces of rock on top of each other that have formed an island. "That's also going to make it more vulnerable to the waves. It's going to be battered by some of the waves and currents, particularly in Tonga." Dr Watson said he would be staying far from the volcano if he was in Tonga. "You would really have to strongly convince me, with strong scientific reasons, to go on it," he added. The UK's largest non-subscription commercial TV company said it would target £25m in cost savings in 2017. Its comments came as it reported a 9% increase in pre-tax profits to £425m in the first half of the year. ITV said net advertising revenue would slip by about 1% in the first nine months of the year. However, the forecast was better than expected, and the broadcaster's shares rose 9% to 202p in early trade. TV, radio and newspapers have all been hit by fears that advertising spending will be affected by the UK's decision to leave the EU, as consumers are expected to rein in spending. ITV was among the hardest-hit companies by the vote to leave the EU. Its shares slumped to 154p from 219p following the referendum result. The broadcaster said that total external revenue increased by 11% in the first half of the year to £1.5bn. "Our strategy of rebalancing and strengthening ITV and building a global production business of scale continues to deliver with double-digit revenue... growth in the first half of the year," said chief executive Adam Crozier. Nicholas McGurk targeted Alex Wong at his Brodie's fish and chip shop in Coupar Angus, Perthshire, in August. Mr Wong was tied up while a woman working there was forced to go with McGurk in the shop owner's Mercedes. She escaped when McGurk, of Govanhill, Glasgow, crashed the car but later fainted due to being so scared. McGurk, 32, admitted charges of assault, abduction and robbery. A judge was told that Mr Wong's business remained closed and that the raid had "broken his dream of a peaceful retirement". Mr Wong, who had served with the police in Hong Kong, ran the takeaway for 14 years. The High Court in Glasgow heard that McGurk entered the shop and pointed a gun at Mr Wong's colleague and demanded money. When Mr Wong appeared, McGurk pulled out a large knife. Prosecutor Stewart Ronnie said: "He pointed the knife towards Alex Wong's neck and stated: 'If you do anything, I will kill you'." Mr Wong handed over money before McGurk shoved him into the kitchen and tied him to a sink with a telephone cable. The robber rummaged through Mr Wong's pockets and stole another £640 and mobile phones. McGurk then slapped the female worker and squeezed her face while pointing the gun at her. The court heard he threatened her with the knife when she refused to go in the car with him. Once inside the vehicle, McGurk said they were going to his house, but he crashed the car into a parked van. Mr Ronnie said: "The woman and McGurk then returned to the shop, where she collapsed due to being so terrified." A person heard Mr Wong banging for help and contacted police. McGurk was later traced and told officers the allegations were lies. Mr Ronnie said the incident had had "a very big impact" on Mr Wong and his colleague. He said: "Alex Wong states he has been feeling depressed, mainly due to having to close his business. "The woman has not been fit to work and he cannot reopen the business without her help." McGurk will be sentenced in the New Year. Media playback is not supported on this device GB made the perfect start when Colin Shields netted his 34th international goal after four minutes and 28 seconds. Nenad Rakovic levelled before a neat Matty Davies finish regained the lead. Uros Bjelogrlic made it 2-2 but David Phillips put GB back ahead, David Clarke hit a brace and Robert Lachowicz fired the sixth in the final minute. World ranked 24, GB have not qualified for the Olympics since 1948, when they were fifth. Their final game is against hosts Italy, who are ranked 18, on Sunday, with only the group winners progressing to the final stage of qualifying in September. GB head coach, Pete Russell, whose team beat the Netherlands 6-5 in their opening match, said: "One of the best things is we scored six goals again. "We have got a lot of guys scoring at the moment and that is really good for us. We came here to be in this position and I am very much looking forward to Italy." Saints, 10th in the Premiership, beat Scarlets in the European Champions Cup. "We've still got some incredible players amongst our ranks - we've not become a bad team," said Wood. "We've not quite had the start we wanted but in previous years we've got off to a flyer and fallen flat on our face in Europe or finished top of the league and not taken the trophy." Jim Mallinder's side, who lost in last season's Premiership semi-final despite finishing top of the table, have only won one of their opening four league matches in 2015-16. Since Saturday's victory over the Welsh side, Mallinder has ruled himself out of replacing Stuart Lancaster as England boss. And with players coming back from the World Cup - including England's Wood, Wales wing George North plus new signing and South Africa legend Victor Matfield - Wood says there is reason to be optimistic. "It's an awfully long season, we're very confident in what we've got, we've taken a few knocks so we're going to have to regroup and come out ready to play again next week," he told BBC Radio Northampton. "We can't switch off now, it feels like the job's done at the minute but we've got to quickly get back on the horse and ready to go again because an away win now for us invaluable. "It's still really early days, we know the potential we have now that we have all the internationals back and Victor turning up." The UK had 31 universities in the top 200 last year but the leading 20 were dominated by wealthy US institutions. The magazine says the average top-200 university has plenty of money and strong international links. The Million+ group, funded by newer UK universities, said the "perspective" of the rankings was "very limited". Times Higher says its analysis will help universities and countries that are aiming to reach the global peak of higher education. Its top 200 ranking, due at the beginning of October, aims to identify the world's best 1% of universities The analysis found the average top 200 university has 19% international students, hires 20% of staff from abroad and has at least one international co-author on 43% of published research papers. Last year's top 20 Source: Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2013 On average they have just under 12 students to one member of academic staff. Their annual income - from government grants, student fees, investments and commercial fees - is worth worth some $750,000 per academic, says Times Higher. Around a third of this is generated from research contracts in the form of government grants and fees from industry and commerce. World Rankings editor Phil Baty said that while there was no single model of excellence for universities, the new information should give clear pointers on how to boost a university's international standing. "Firstly, you need serious money. It is essential to pay the salaries to attract and retain the leading scholars and to build the facilities needed. Second, providing an intimate and intensive teaching environment for students, where they can expect to properly engage with leading faculty, can really help. "Finally, and perhaps most importantly, a world-class university really must be international. "It must attract the most talented staff and students from wherever in the world they happen to come from and bring people together from a range of different cultures and backgrounds to tackle shared global challenges - and it must work and think across national borders." Pam Tatlow, chief executive of Million+, said: "These rankings provide a very limited perspective of university performance and are likely to exclude the majority of institutions, notwithstanding their excellence. "The real risk is that governments are encouraged to think that it is more important to invest in a few universities rather than invest in a world-class system within their countries which is much more likely to benefit their national economies and society more generally." The University Alliance of business-focused universities said using the rankings as a "roadmap" risked missing "the breadth of routes to delivering world-class research and graduates". "The obsession with this idea of a 'world-class university' is a distraction from the tried and tested approach in the UK and elsewhere around the world, which is to identify and reward excellence wherever it exists," said a spokesman. "We are all for celebrating excellence and success - let's just not get distracted by such a narrow and limited view of where it exists." Dr Wendy Piatt, director general of the Russell Group of research intensive universities, welcomed the focus on research excellence and global collaboration but also stressed the importance of excellent teaching. "Students at research-intensive universities get to work with the leading experts in their field and with a highly motivated and high-achieving peer group. "They also have access to first-rate libraries and facilities and engage in research processes. "Academic freedom, university autonomy and increased investment are also vital to the continued success of our universities. Universities will not flourish if they are over-regulated or underfunded." The 23-year-old forward, who has made three senior appearances for the Toffees, will remain at The Valley until 7 November. McAleny spent part of last season on loan at Cardiff City, scoring two goals in eight outings for the Bluebirds. He is eligible to make his debut for the Addicks in their home match against Huddersfield Town on Tuesday. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. A shot was fired, petrol bombs were tossed and police cars torched at the blockade near the town of Rexton. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said arrests were made for firearms violations, threats and intimidation. Protesters have blockaded a staging area where an energy firm stores its equipment since 30 September. Violence erupted as officers moved in to enforce a court injunction won by the company to remove the protesters' highway camp, said police. Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officials say at least five of their vehicles were set on fire and destroyed, Molotov cocktails were hurled at officers, and at least one shot was fired by someone who was not a police officer. SWN Resources, owned by Houston-based Southwestern Energy, is exploring the coastal province for shale gas. The reserves are removed from the ground by a controversial practice known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Opponents of the shale gas sector say drinking water can be polluted during this extraction process. The protesters, including regional First Nations, want SWN's seismic testing to stop. "There have been threats made to employees who were working with a private security firm at the site, as well as firearms offences, incidents of intimidation, mischief and other criminal behaviour," RCMP spokeswoman Constable Jullie Rogers-Marsh said in a statement. "For those reasons, and to ensure public safety, police action was required." Among those arrested on Thursday were members of the Elsipogtog First Nation, including their Chief, Arren Sock, Canadian media reported. Former Elsipogtog chief Susan Levi-Peters told the Globe and Mail newspaper the RCMP vehicles had been set on fire after Mr Sock and several other tribal members were arrested while trying to intervene. A councillor from the Elsipogtog First Nation told the Canadian Press news agency that police had used pepper spray on the protesters. "They sprayed the crowd that was there," Robert Levi said. "The chief was manhandled a little bit and all hell broke loose." He added the protesters would try to stay, despite the injunction. "This is what our people have been fighting for," Mr Levi said. Wada will discuss how to restore faith in the anti-doping system in the wake of the Russian doping scandal after months of disagreement with the Olympic movement about what reforms are needed. "The integrity of sport is absolutely paramount and the message has to be clear - that drug cheats will have no place to hide," said Crouch. "It is vital that we take a unified approach to tackle doping in sport and work together across countries and continents to ensure best practice in testing, education and intelligence." The meeting of Wada's Foundation Board - on which Crouch sits as one of five European representatives - comes after tensions between the organisation and the Olympic movement were reignited in Doha this week. Media playback is not supported on this device Members of the Associations of National Olympic Committees were highly critical of Wada for recommending that Russia be banned from Rio 2016 for state-sponsored doping. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) rejected the proposal, letting international sports federations decide which athletes should be eligible to compete at the Games. IOC president Thomas Bach told BBC Sport this week he has "no regrets" over the decision, although did indicate he was ready to increase funding towards anti-doping to tackle "deficiencies". Many within the anti-doping community now want Wada to be strengthened, with greater independence from the IOC and granted sanctioning power. However, the sports movement appears reluctant to hand Wada more authority, with Bach suggesting he wants a new body to take on responsibility for testing. The procession was delayed by 90 minutes after a suspicious package, which police believe was intended to disrupt the event, was discovered. The event was due to follow a new "high-profile" route that included King's Road, the peace statue, and the city's seafront, organisers said. But it avoided the seafront alert area and went along Western Road. Ch Supt Nev Kemp said expert explosives officers detonated the package, found on the seafront, in a controlled explosion. He said this was normal procedure and there was no immediate risk to the public. The area on the A259 by the bandstand remains evacuated and cordoned off. Brighton Pride is well known for its fabulous drag queens pushing 7ft tall with legs to die for, and floats of bronzed, buff boys. Those watching the parade snake through the city include families of all shapes and sizes. No-one cares if you have two mums or two dads - that's what Pride is all about. One girl is celebrating her first birthday at Pride with her dads. "It feels perfectly natural to be here," one of them tells me. And Paul Crook, who is there dressed as a circus performer, says he relishes the theme of freedom. The route from the seafront to the park is lined with thousands of people. Whistles, cheering and disco tracks mask any sounds of seagulls. The parade arrived two hours later than expected after the security alert, but the crowds were in good spirits. The pubs on the route had helped, I'm sure. Ch Supt Kemp said: "We believe the item was placed there deliberately and made to look like a suspicious device to disrupt the parade. We have started a criminal investigation. "We were concerned enough to call in the bomb disposal unit, who after making a further assessment, carried out a controlled explosion. The area had been cordoned off and there was no risk to the public." He thanked the public and those taking part in the parade for their "support and patience". Police worked with Pride organisers to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, he added. Pride is being held in the city for the 25th time this year. When the new route was announced, organisers said the community parade was going back to its roots, because many past Pride marches had begun at the peace statue. During the alert, organisers apologised for the delay. They later tweeted: "And the 25th anniversary parade is off. A little late, but all good things are worth waiting for." Attractions in the city on Saturday include dance troupes, drag queens and campaigning groups. Before the event, Paul Kemp, the director of Pride Brighton, said: "It's a celebration and it brings in a lot of people from all over the world. "Economically, it's very good for the city and brings in £3.5m. "Behind the celebrations it highlights LGBT campaigns all over the world. There's a long way to go globally to bring about equality." Peter Kyle, MP for Hove and Portslade, said: "Pride is many things to many people. There are people who are straight who have got families who go along to celebrate the diversity of our city." Brighton DJ Fatboy Slim was playing in the Wild Fruit dance tent in Preston Park, and the cabaret tent will be hosted by Lola Lasagne. Other acts appearing included The Human League, Ruby Rose and Ella Henderson. Soon they are feeling confident enough to climb trees and eat fruit. This species had been absent from Tijuca National Park for about 100 years, according to estimates from researchers. This forest is famous for being the home of Rio's famous Christ the Redeemer statue and also as one of the world's largest urban forests. However, due to poaching and deforestation, many of the animals from the park have disappeared, making it an "empty forest". Now scientists want to change that. "Tijuca is a starting point for techniques in reintroducing fauna to forests," says Fernando Fernandez, a researcher from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), which runs the project with funding from the private foundation Grupo Boticario. Some of these animals are important for spreading seeds, helping big trees reproduce. But howler monkeys particularly help the forest through their faeces, which are a source of nutrients to the soil. The monkeys were taken to the forests on 3 September, after spending eight months being prepared in a UFRJ lab. There they were medically tested, given ankle bands (for monitoring purposes), and learned to live together as a group. "That's very important, as howler monkeys need social groups to live in the forest," says Mr Fernandez. There were initially five monkeys, but one of them did not get along with the dominant male - and was therefore expelled from the group. Mr Fernandez hopes to bring three more groups - comprising five monkeys each - to Tijuca in the next few years. The goal is that the population becomes self sustaining. The project began in 2010, when the scientists started to repopulate Tijuca with local rodents (called cutias) that are also cherished for their seed-spreading abilities. Now there are 35 of them inhabiting the park. In the future, the plan is to populate Tijuca also with native boars, kinkajous, native sloths and the famous - and endangered - golden lion tamarins. "Our goal is to reconstruct the fauna in the long term," says Mr Fernandez. Millions of annual visitors to Tijuca National Park now have a chance to spot the howler monkeys in the middle of the jungle. Soon enough visitors might be able to hear them as well: howler-monkeys' screams can be heard from kilometres away, but they only shout with such enthusiasm during territorial disputes - which might take a while, since there are too few monkeys in the forest for the time being. Mr Fernandez is both excited and concerned about how the monkeys will respond to humans. "I hope people react well, because these animals are really charismatic," he says. "But I do recommend that people keep their distance - avoid interacting with them and please do not feed them, as it can be harmful. Watch and enjoy, because they are really cool, but from a distance. "Many people visit Tijuca National Park to visit the Christ the Redeemer but there will be more and more animals there. It is an opportunity to appreciate the fauna and learn how to preserve it." Police were called to an address in Stadium Street in Chelsea in the early hours of Sunday after reports a woman had been stabbed. An ambulance was called but the 35-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are awaiting formal identification. A 48-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody. A post-mortem examination will be scheduled in due course. The Richmond Tory MP said the company that owns the airport had significant debts and would be forced to turn to the government for financial support. He has repeatedly said he will quit his seat if the government approves the building of a third runway at Heathrow. Heathrow said investors were ready to fund its expansion plans. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Goldsmith said: "Heathrow is massively over-leveraged already, there is no prospect of their being able to raise the finance necessary to deliver this project without turning to the taxpayer." A spokesman for Heathrow Airport said: "Our shareholders include three of the world's top five sovereign wealth funds, as well as a UK pension fund, and the world's largest privately-funded infrastructure fund - all ready to deliver a shot in the arm of private investment for Britain." The government is expected to make an announcement on where to build a new runway for south-east England shortly. The other options under consideration have been a new runway at Gatwick or an an extension of one of Heathrow's existing runways. Former Prime Minister David Cameron put off the announcement by calling for a new environmental impact study to be carried out in December last year. A third runway at Heathrow has the backing of the Davies Commission on airport expansion, which published its findings last autumn. Mr Goldsmith, who failed in his bid to become London mayor, told Today: "My position is the same as it was nine years ago. "I promised my constituents before I was ever elected in 2010 that I would trigger a by-election were the government to give a green light to Heathrow expansion. My position has never changed." Greater Manchester Police said officers were called to reports of a knife attack shortly before 11:00 GMT at a house on Redwood Drive, Bredbury. A police spokeswoman said officers found a 60-year-old woman with stab wounds who was declared dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination into her death is due to take place later. A 34-year-old man was seriously injured in Ashgill Road, in the city's Milton area, at about 00:25 on 23 July. Police previously said that he had been attacked by four men and the incident was being treated as attempted murder. A 28-year-old has been arrested and is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday. A 27-year-old man was arrested last month. It will replace the temporary portable building which has been operating as an exhibition centre and shop. A spokesman for the trustees said they wanted to encourage visitors to find out more about Isambard Kingdom Brunel who designed the bridge. It is hoped the centre will be open by December 2014 - the 150th anniversary of the opening of the bridge. "The existing temporary facility has welcomed an average of 57,000 visitors annually - including tourists from more than 100 countries - but we are keen to encourage more of the people who come to look at the bridge to visit the centre as well," said the spokesman. Trustees have been given £36,400 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to help them progress their plans to apply for a full grant later this year. This nightcap could be a pint of beer, a glass of wine or a single measure of spirit, PLoS Medicine journal reports. A study of 14,000 women concluded that those who drink in moderation were far more likely to reach 70 in good health than heavier drinkers or abstainers. Spreading consumption over the week is better than saving it for the weekend, the researchers say. Women who drank little and often fared better than occasional drinkers. Compared with non-drinkers, women in their mid-50s who drank 15-30g of alcohol (one to two drinks) a day had a 28% greater likelihood of achieving what the US researchers call "successful ageing", meaning good general health free of conditions like cancer, diabetes and heart disease in their 70s and beyond. And women who drank on 5-7 days of the week had almost double the chance of good overall health in old age compared with complete abstainers. Experts are not sure whether it is the alcohol itself that is conferring the benefit or whether it simply goes hand in hand with other things in the lives of the women that makes them healthier. The Harvard School of Public Health researchers said they tried to control for factors like smoking that might have affected the results. Other studies have shown that moderate alcohol consumption - no more than the recommended two to three units a day for women in the UK - is linked with a lower risk of heart disease and some other health conditions. And research has shown alcohol can have a positive impact in the body, reducing insulin resistance, inflammation, high cholesterol and other harmful processes. However, drinking has been linked to other conditions, such as breast cancer. Experts welcomed the findings, saying they supported current recommendations concerning alcohol limits. Natasha Stewart of the British Heart Foundation said: "Moderate amounts of alcohol may offer some protection against heart disease, especially for women who have gone through the menopause, but it's very important not to go overboard. "Drinking too much doesn't offer any heart health protection at all and may actually lead to heart muscle damage, stroke and high blood pressure. And if you don't already drink alcohol, there is certainly no need to start now. "Clearly there are much better ways to look after your heart than drinking alcohol, like eating a healthy, balanced diet, getting active and by not smoking." Plans for men's and women's sides at the 2016 Games were halted by protests from the Irish, Scottish and Welsh FAs. British Olympic Association chief Bill Sweeney said he is "disappointed" there will be no GB football sides in Rio. "It is absolutely our wish to have a football team competing for Team GB in 2020 (in Tokyo)," said Sweeney. "We will therefore do everything possible to make this happen." By finishing as one of the best three European teams at the World Cup, England have already achieved the standard needed to secure a place for a Great Britain side to play in the Olympics next year. The English FA were keen to take part along similar lines to the 2012 Games, but its plans were scuppered earlier this year after opposition from other home nations' football associations, who fear sending a team to Brazil would threaten their independence in the international game. Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan said: "The decision that was made surrounding London 2012 was a one-off decision as London was hosting the Olympics. "There was never any plan to have a permanent British team and we made that very clear, as did the Welsh and Northern Irish." The BOA added there was no chance of resurrecting plans for teams in 2016 as the deadlines for qualification have passed. "Not having a women's, or indeed a men's, team as part of Team GB is a disappointing outcome particularly given the recent performances of the women's team," added BOA chief executive officer Sweeney. "It primarily impacts on athletes and fans and prevents British athletes from having the opportunity to compete at the world's largest multi-sport event." England's last-eight World Cup win over hosts Canada was watched by 1.6 million TV viewers, despite a 00:30 BST kick-off, and they now face reigning champions Japan at 00:00 BST on Thursday. Mark Sampson's squad are only the third England team to reach the last-four of a senior championships after the men's team in 1996 and 1990. England - FOR FA director of women's football Kelly Simmons said it was "devastating for the women's game" to miss out on the 2016 Olympics. "Those sorts of opportunities for coverage and profile don't come around that often," she told the BBC. Northern Ireland - AGAINST A statement read: "The Irish FA has not changed its position from before. The Association was of the understanding that participation at the London Olympics was a one-off. "The Irish FA believes that, when playing, our players should play in a Northern Ireland shirt." Scotland - AGAINST Regan said: "A significant proportion of Scotland fans have made their feelings very clear on the matter - they want to stay under the Scotland banner." However, the Scottish FA would not stand in the way of any players picked for a British side, and had two representatives - Kim Little and Ifeoma Dieke - in the 2012 squad. Wales - AGAINST Several of the 2012 matches took part in Cardiff, but there was not one Welsh player in the GB squad. Former Wales women's captain and WSL player of the year in 2012 Jess Fishlock said at the time: "It does feel like a whole nation has been completely taken out of the equation." England's current winning run is being overseen by coach Mark Sampson, a Welshman. The 30-year-old, who has nine senior international caps for Wales, joined Bath in September on a short-term deal. The former Newport Gwent Dragons and Biarritz player began his career at Ospreys, and also had a short spell with Cardiff Blues. "I've really enjoyed getting a good run of games under my belt," Brew told Bath's club website. Director of rugby Todd Blackadder added: "Aled has brought so much to the team, on and off the field, since his arrival and will continue to form an integral part of the squad." Ian Wilcox, from Bolton, was involved in a crash between a BMW 530 and a Chevrolet Matiz in Tonge Moor Road in the town in the early hours of Monday. Mr Wilcox, who was travelling in the Chevrolet, was taken to hospital where he died. Paying tribute, his wife Cathryn said he was an "amazing" husband and father. She said: "Our world fell apart yesterday. "Ian, who loved football, live music, beer and the group Queen, leaves a void that can never be filled." A man and a woman, both aged 34, have been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and causing death by dangerous driving. Police are continuing to urge witnesses to come forward, particularly anyone with dashcam footage. The incident happened close to the Yorkgate rail halt, heading north. No one was seriously injured but traffic was extremely heavy earlier on Friday. All the lanes on the M2 leaving the city have now reopened. Earlier, the Department for Regional Development said traffic was particularly slow on the Westlink and Sydenham bypass. Trafficwatch NI says there are tailbacks to Holywood Exchange heading into Belfast. After more than two years of civil war, he has now returned to the capital, Juba, to take the post in a new unity government. Mr Machar is reputed to be a wily operator, switching sides on several occasions during the north-south conflict as he sought to strengthen his own position and that of his Nuer ethnic group in the murky political waters of South Sudan. Born in 1953, he married Emma McCune in 1991 who died two years later, while pregnant, in a car accident in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. She was dubbed by some in the media as the "warlord's wife", a reference to Mr Machar's role as a leading commander in the armed wing of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), which was then spearheading the war for South Sudan's independence from the north. After a peace deal was signed in 2005 to herald the end of that conflict and the sudden death of its leader John Garang, the SPLM appointed Mr Machar as the vice-president of the regional South Sudanese government. In a sign of the enormous influence he wielded, Mr Machar retained the post after South Sudan became independent in 2011 until his dismissal in 2013. Later that year, President Salva Kiir accused him of plotting a coup, which prompted him to flee the capital, Juba. He denied the allegation, but it triggered a civil war which killed tens of thousands of people and left some two million homeless. After protracted negotiations by regional mediators, Mr Machar has been sworn in again as vice-president and says he aims to help rebuild the world's youngest country that has been devastated by the conflict. Coming from South Sudan's second largest ethnic group, the gap-toothed Mr Machar's presence in the upper echelons of power was seen as vital to promote ethnic unity with the Dinka majority. Recalling meeting him in 2005, BBC Africa's David Amanor said he had a commanding physique. "He's got a steely but also gentle look. He's well-spoken and well-educated," he said. At the time, Mr Machar had swapped his military fatigue for an English suit, playing the role of a mediator between the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebel movement. He saw the LRA as a major threat, believing that it could destabilise South Sudan, where it had military camps. Although the peace initiative failed, Mr Machar - now married to South Sudanese politician Angelina Teny - was impressive as a mediator. "He showed immense patience - the skills of a diplomat," recalled Mr Amanor, who covered the talks. But critics say he also showed his ruthless side when he backed government forces in their fight against prominent South Sudan rebel leader George Athor, who was accused of waging a new "proxy war" on behalf of the Khartoum government, which it denied. In December 2011 - some five months after independence - Mr Machar announced that Mr Athor had been killed near the Sudan-South Sudan border. Riek Machar: At a glance For his SPLM critics, Mr Machar was becoming too powerful when President Kiir sacked him from the government. Mr Kiir labelled him as a "prophet of doom", continuing his actions of the past - an apparent reference to the fact that he had challenged the authority of Mr Garang, the SPLM's founding leader, in the early 1990s. Despite high-profile mediation efforts by then-Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi and US congressmen, Mr Machar refused to sign a peace declaration with Mr Garang, who was lionised by SPLM fighters at the time. This was seen as a major blow to efforts by many African and Western governments to present a united front against the Islamist-led government of Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir. By then leading a breakaway rebel group, Mr Machar signed a peace accord with Mr Bashir's government in 1997. It gave him his first taste of state power, with his appointment as an assistant to President Bashir, but he quit not long afterwards re-launching a rebellion. However, Mr Garang's SPLM remained deeply suspicious of him, accusing him of receiving covert support from the Khartoum government - a charge he denied. In 2002, he finally buried the hatchet with Mr Garang, rejoining the SPLM. Now, he has returned to the centre of power, possibly calculating his next move to achieve his long-held ambition of becoming president. It is a far cry from the days when he was a student in the UK, obtaining a PhD in philosophy and strategic planning from the University of Bradford in the mid-1980s. It was also a time of political revolt in his homeland with the SPLM having just been formed to campaign against northern rule. Mr Machar chose to join the fight - and has never looked back.

Jim Allister told his party conference - his eighth as leader - that he was already looking forward to the council elections in 2019, when he hoped to double their numbers. "It seems it's not yet time for Jexit but happily it's time for Brexit," he told delegates in Cookstown. He vowed to continue to "shine a light" on the executive's "dark secrets". He also accused the first and deputy first ministers of hiring a "super spin doctor" in David Gordon "to hide uncomfortable truths under the carpet". Around 100 TUV members attended the conference - fewer than last year. Mr Allister was the only one of the party's 15 candidates to be elected to Stormont in the 2016 assembly elections. However, the party faithful were urged to take comfort in the success of Brexit and Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. "2016 will go down in history as the year when the people rose up to retake control of their destiny," said Mr Allister. "2016 was our year of liberation from the shackles and torments of the EU. "An uprising of true patriots, a bloodless revolution that will set our nation on course to be great again - spending our own money, deciding our own laws, being subject to our own courts and making trade deals that suit us." The TUV leader urged the Ulster Unionists and SDLP to reject mandatory coalition, to ensure they could be elected to govern without any input from Sinn Féin and the DUP. Mr Allister also accused First Minister Arlene Foster and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of using the social investment fund to pander to paramilitaries. He described it as a "slush fund" used to win support in communities they struggled to reach. Rescue teams looking for the plane have now widened their search area. Investigators are also checking CCTV footage of two passengers who are believed to have boarded the plane using stolen passports. Flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared south of Vietnam with 239 people on board. By Jennifer PakBBC News, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia Airlines lost contact with flight MH370 for five hours before it confirmed the news. After that, the authorities began to hold regular news briefings but they were cautious about what they revealed. The slow pace of information forced Malaysians to turn to social media first - then ask the authorities to confirm speculation or reports that appeared online. Among the many questions was how two passengers with fake European passports could have boarded flight MH370. Over the past four years, I have travelled frequently through the same airport. As a Canadian passport holder I have to scan both index fingers before I enter the country but not when I leave. The biometric system was set up in 2011 to prevent foreigners from repeatedly coming in to work illegally and to curb human trafficking and wildlife smuggling. Malaysian officials say they are working hard to answer questions. They have reminded people to avoid speculation, but it hasn't reassured distressed family members. What we know about Flight MH370 Air and sea rescue teams have been searching an area of the South China Sea south of Vietnam for more than 30 hours, but there have been no definite sightings of wreckage. Late on Sunday, the Vietnamese authorities said a navy aircraft had spotted "an object" suspected of belonging to the missing plane, but officials said it was too dark to be certain. The object is thought to be near a potential oil slick that was spotted on Saturday, but again officials have urged that this may be nothing to do with flight MH370. Malaysia's civil aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur that the search area had been expanded to include the west coast of Malaysia. Five passengers booked on the flight did not board, he added. Their luggage was consequently removed. There are now 40 ships and 34 aircraft from nine different nationalities taking part in the search. But no signal has been received from the plane's emergency locator transmitter, Malaysian aviation authorities say. Air force chief Rodzali Daud said the investigation was now focusing on a recording of radar signals that showed there was a "possibility" the aircraft had turned back from its flight path. The BBC has confirmed that a man falsely using an Italian passport and a man falsely using an Austrian passport purchased tickets at the same time, and were both booked on the same onward flight from Beijing to Europe on Saturday. Both had purchased their tickets from China Southern Airlines, which shared the flight with Malaysia Airlines, and they had consecutive ticket numbers. The real owners had their passports stolen in Thailand in recent years. The international police agency Interpol confirmed that at least two passports recorded as lost or stolen in its database were used by passengers on the flight - and that no checks of its database had been made for either passport between the time they were stolen and the departure of the flight. Source: Malaysia Airlines Who were passengers? "Whilst it is too soon to speculate about any connection between these stolen passports and the missing plane, it is clearly of great concern that any passenger was able to board an international flight using a stolen passport listed in Interpol databases," the agency's Secretary General Ronald Noble said in a statement. He expressed frustration that few of Interpol's 190 member countries "systematically" search the database. Malaysia's Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said international agencies including the FBI had joined the investigation and all angles were being examined. "Our own intelligence have been activated and, of course, the counterterrorism units... from all the relevant countries have been informed," he said. "The main thing here for me and for the families concerned is that we find the aircraft." The passengers on the flight were of 14 different nationalities. Two-thirds were from China, while others were from elsewhere in Asia, North America and Europe. The plane vanished from radar south of Vietnam at 17:30 GMT Friday (01:30 local time Saturday). Malaysia Airlines had previously said it last had contact with air traffic controllers 120 nautical miles off the east coast of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu. Distraught relatives and loved ones of those on board are being given assistance at both the arrival and departure airports. Many have expressed anger at the lack of information. "I can't understand the airline company. They should have contacted the families first thing," a middle-aged woman told AFP news agency at Beijing airport, after finding out her brother-in-law was on the flight. Texas firm Freescale Semiconductor says 20 of its Malaysian and Chinese employees were on the flight, according to a statement on its website. Malaysia's national carrier is one of Asia's largest, flying nearly 37,000 passengers daily to some 80 destinations worldwide. Correspondents say the route between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing has become more and more popular as Malaysia and China increase trade. Bill O'Reilly released the statement after the New York Times reported he and his employer had paid the women a total of $13m (£10.3m). In return, the paper says, they did not take their cases to court. 21st Century Fox says Mr O'Reilly, 67, denies wrongdoing. In a statement published on his website, The O'Reilly Factor host said he was "vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity". Mr O'Reilly added that "no-one has ever filed a complaint about me with the human resources department", and says he "put to rest any controversies to spare my children". A statement from 21st Century Fox to the New York Times said: "While he denies the merits of these claims, Mr. O'Reilly has resolved those he regarded as his personal responsibility." Two of the cases had been previously reported. However, the New York Times investigation discovered three more after conducting "more than five dozen interviews with current and former employees". Two of the new cases were of a sexual nature and one alleged verbally abusive behaviour by O'Reilly. The cases date back as far as 2002, and all the women were connected in some way to his show, the highest rated on the network, or worked for other programmes. This is the second scandal to hit the channel in less than a year. Its long-time boss Roger Ailes resigned in July after a number of female employees accused him of sexual harassment. Allied Bakeries announced a consultation into plans to close its Chester Road site in Saltney as part of an efficiency review in July. The firm has now said it will shut the depot on 19 November. The company said "every effort" would be made to help those people affected to secure alternative employment. Allied Bakeries said in a statement: "We understand that this will be a difficult and unsettling time for our employees and their families and are doing everything we can to offer them support during this period." The firm said affected staff could secure alternative roles in other parts of its business, including at its bakery in Stockport and a new local distribution operation. Allied said the decision to close the depot "in no way reflects the commitment and efforts of those affected". Alyn and Deeside MP Mark Tami said that, while Allied had discussed the possibility of redeploying staff in other parts of the business, this would probably not be ideal for "the bulk" of the workforce. "We really have to concentrate on trying to ensure people get an opportunity to find alternative employment in the area," he added. "We are fortunate that we do have a lot of quality employers in the area." The ex-Lib Dem leader said cutting off jihadists' income should be a "crucial part" of the UK's strategy. He claimed the Tories' "closeness" to Gulf interests was hampering this. But he said his party may vote for RAF air strikes in Syria if they were lawful, enjoyed regional support and were part of a broader plan. David Cameron will make the case for military intervention to MPs on Thursday, stating why he believes extending the UK's existing air campaign against Islamist militants from Iraq to Syria is necessary. The statement is a prelude to a vote on whether to authorise military action in Syria expected as early as next week. Mr Cameron has said he will not call the vote until he is certain he can win, having failed to gain the support of Parliament in 2013 for military action against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Lord Ashdown told BBC Radio 4's Today his party - which has eight MPs - had not ruled out backing intervention if key conditions were met and it was a question of what the prime minister "turns up with" on Thursday. Where Saudi Arabia stands Regional Sunni power Saudi Arabia is part of US-led military action against IS targets in Syria. Riyadh also agreed to a US request to provide a base to train moderate Syrian rebel forces. The kingdom has been a key supporter of the rebels, including hardline Islamist groups, but it has rejected an Iranian accusation that it has directly supported IS. However, wealthy Saudis have sent donations to the group and some 2,500 Saudi men have travelled to Syria to fight. The Saudi authorities are concerned that IS will inspire Saudi jihadists to challenge the monarchy's legitimacy and seek to overthrow it. In July 2014, Riyadh deployed 30,000 troops to beef up security along its border with Iraq, and the following month hosted Iran's deputy foreign minister as the two regional rivals agreed to co-operate. Where other countries stand in IS fight Asked if the party could support Mr Cameron, he replied "possibly", adding that this was dependent on three factors. "The first is a clear statement of legality - we have got that from the UN Security Council resolution. The second is a wider coalition spanning the Sunni and Shia divide - that is now being assembled at last and not before time. "The third is a broader strategy which includes what happens afterwards." If the international community was serious about tackling violent militant groups such as Islamic State - also known as Isil or Daesh - he said the Gulf states had to play a much larger role in exerting diplomatic and financial pressure as well as military co-operation. "Pressure on the Gulf states to stop funding Sunni Jihadism and pressure on the Gulf states - if we're going to send our aircraft in, to make sure theirs are present too - is a crucial part of the strategy. "Will the prime minister ensure now ensure that in the strategy he presents on Thursday, that is part of the strategy?" And he suggested the government's reluctance to launch an inquiry into the funding of jihadism in the UK was potentially politically motivated. "The failure to put pressure on the Gulf States - and especially Saudi Arabia and Qatar - first of all to stop funding the Salafists and Wahabists, and secondly to play a larger part in this campaign... leads me to worry about the closeness between the Conservative Party and rich Arab, Gulf individuals. "Will he launch an inquiry into the funding of jihadism? If not, I think we're entitled to ask some questions about why not." David Cameron has said the UK must use every resource at its disposal to degrade and destroy Islamic State, which he has described as an "evil death cult". The government is briefing Conservative MPs and members of opposition parties inclined to support the government about its plans. Yet some senior figures are yet to be persuaded that air strikes will be effective in driving militants out of their strongholds and reoccupying the territory they hold without "boots on the ground" and question who will supply these troops. Former Labour leader Ed Miliband said he remained to be "convinced" of the case for bombing. "ISIL have got to be defeated," he told the BBC's Newsnight. "But who is going to do the ground operations against ISIL in Syria, because there hasn't been a clear answer from the government about that. Secondly, what is the political settlement that we're working towards in Syria, and they haven't been clear about that. "The PM has promised answers on this, lets see whether the answers are convincing." Despite scoring 15 goals in their previous five games the hosts struggled to break down Bromley before the break. Former Fulham midfielder Keanu Marsh-Brown looked the likeliest for Forest Green, firing several shots just wide, while the lively 24-year-old almost set up Elliott Frear just after the half-hour mark only to be thwarted by Bromley goalkeeper Alan Julian. Bromley hit a post through Rob Swaine just after the break, but Marsh-Brown finally got a reward for his endeavour by turning in Frear's cross in the 74th minute to score the only goal.

Dyfed-Powys Police has reported a number of flooded roads in Powys, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. A yellow 'be aware' weather warning was re-introduced in parts of Wales on Sunday. The Met Office warned of heavy rain in the morning, followed by heavy showers, from 04:00 GMT. This latest band of heavy rain is expected to last until Tuesday. The chief forecaster said a greater risk of localised flooding than normal might be expected given the already saturated ground following weeks of heavy rain. Dyfed-Powys Police tweeted there was flooding on the A40 both between Corner Piece Inn and Puncheston, Pembrokeshire, and near Talybont-on-Usk, Powys. The force also said there was flooding on the A479 at Cwmdu and the A4138 at Talyclun, both Carmarthenshire, and just off junction 48 of the M4 at Pontarddulais. Officers in the area also warned of flooding on many smaller roads, as well as surface water. Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said they were inundated with calls about flooding, both in houses and on roads. The service tweeted about crews attending flooding incidents in Neath, Margam, Swansea, Llanelli and Pembroke. South Wales fire service said it had been called out to flooding in Newport, Cwmbran and Abergavenny. Natural Resources Wales has multiple flood alerts in place. The weather warning covers Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Swansea, Torfaen and Vale of Glamorgan. The 17-time Grand Slam champion said he needs "more extensive rehabilitation" if he wants to prolong his career. Federer, 34, had knee surgery in February before missing May's French Open with a back problem. Federer said on his Facebook page he was "extremely disappointed" to not be representing Switzerland in Rio and it was "tough" to miss the rest of 2016. "I am as motivated as ever and plan to put all my energy towards coming back strong, healthy and in shape to play attacking tennis in 2017," he added. Federer won doubles gold at Beijing in 2008, but has never won an Olympic singles title and lost to Britain's Andy Murray in the final at London 2012. Federer twice required treatment during a five-set semi-final defeat by Canada's Milos Raonic at Wimbledon this month, but found a "silver lining" in his injury-troubled year. "This experience has made me realise how lucky I have been throughout my career with very few injuries," he said. "The doctors advised that if I want to play on the ATP World Tour injury free for another few years, as I intend to do, I must give both my knee and body the proper time to fully recover." Transport for London (TfL) said 23 London bus routes along Europe's busiest shopping street will cut or re-routed. TfL said the changes would reduce congestion and improve reliability. But it also admitted some customers would need to change buses to complete their journeys. The changes to the routes followed a wide-ranging consultation to ensure services were more closely matched to changing demand. Buses will be re-routed away from Oxford Street, with some terminating at Park Lane, Trafalgar Square and Tottenham Court Road. Other bus routes will be extended to maintain connections. The bus routes affected include the numbers: 3, 6, 8, 15, 22, 23, 25, 46, 73, 137, 172, 242, 332, 390, 425, 452, C2, N2, N3, N8, N15, N22 and N73. Tfl said it would start to implement the changes to these routes in the summer. In his election manifesto last year, London Mayor Sadiq Khan promised to remove traffic from Oxford Street by 2020. A further consultation, likely to include plans to pedestrianise the road, will launch later this month. Leon Daniels, TfL's director of surface transport, said: "As our city changes around us, we need to ensure the bus network changes too. "Making sure we have the right level of buses in central London is key to keeping our city moving." Jace Tyrrell, chief executive of New West End Company, added: "We welcome Transport for London's proposal to reduce the number of buses across the West End, which will greatly help reduce congestion and improve air quality in London's retail heartland." The White House said similar activities had been seen before the nerve agent Sarin was allegedly dropped on rebel-held Khan Sheikhoun in April. Dozens of people were killed, prompting President Donald Trump to order a missile strike on a Syrian airbase. Syria's government denies it is preparing a chemical attack. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has previously said the Khan Sheikhoun incident was fabricated. On Tuesday, Pentagon spokesman Capt Jeff Davis said activity had been spotted at the Syrian army's Shayrat airfield, from where the US says jets departed before the Khan Sheikhoun incident. "This involved specific aircraft in a specific hangar, both of which we know to be associated with chemical weapons use," Capt Davis said. In a statement on Monday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the US had "identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime that would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children". He added that if "Mr Assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons, he and his military will pay a heavy price". The White House provided no supporting evidence or further explanation. US media had reported that the state department and Pentagon were caught off-guard by the statement, suggesting they were not consulted in advance, but the White House later said all "were involved in the process from the beginning". The US permanent representative to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, also warned Russia and Iran - Mr Assad's allies. "Any further attacks done to the people of Syria will be blamed on Assad, but also on Russia & Iran who support him killing his own people," she tweeted. The Associated Press news agency cited a non-governmental source with close ties to the White House as saying that the US had received intelligence that Syrian government forces were mixing precursor chemicals for a possible Sarin attack in either the east or south of the country. More than 80 people were killed in Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April, according to the local opposition-run health directorate. Video posted following the alleged air strike showed people struggling to breathe and foaming at the mouth - symptoms consistent with nerve agent poisoning. President Assad's close ally, Russia, said an air strike had hit a rebel depot full of chemical munitions and released toxic agents into the air - a claim that rebel factions and the Western powers which back them have dismissed. The Organisation for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has said tests on samples collected from victims indicated that they were exposed to Sarin or a Sarin-like substance. President Trump cited the pictures of children in distress as one of the reasons he had decided to reverse previous US policy on Syria and launch a direct attack on Shayrat airbase days later. At the time, Capt Davis, the Pentagon spokesman, said Shayrat was used to store chemical weapons, and that US intelligence assessed that aircraft from there had dropped bombs filled with a nerve agent on Khan Sheikhoun. The very public warning to the Syrian government against using chemical weapons is highly unusual. Such a step , which must surely be based upon detailed intelligence, might usually be delivered behind the scenes through diplomatic channels. The use of chemical weapons requires tell-tale preparations such as the movement of particular units, the distribution of weapons to a base from which they can be delivered and so on, all capable of being picked up by US satellites or drones. The warning is clearly intended to forestall such an attack and to make it clear that if the Syrian regime again crosses this line - just as it did last April - the US will respond with force. This time though the context is very different. There is growing friction between the US and pro-Assad forces. A US strike now would risk Washington being drawn further into the conflict. But the warning from the White House is crystal clear. Speaking to AP on Tuesday, Ali Haidar, the Syrian minister for national reconciliation, dismissed the US allegation. Russia, meanwhile, said it considered "such threats against the Syrian leadership to be unacceptable". Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticised the White House's use of the term "another" chemical weapons attack, pointing out that there had been no independent investigation of the Khan Sheikhoun deaths. President Assad has denied ever using chemical weapons and maintains that the country's entire arsenal was destroyed as part of a deal brokered by the US and Russia after a deadly Sarin attack on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus in 2013. The latest development comes amid increasing tension between the US and Russia, which recently warned the US-led coalition fighting so-called Islamic State that it would view its aircraft as targets after a Syrian military jet was shot down. Klitschko, defending his WBC heavyweight crown, was a heavy favourite but was unable to do to Chisora what he had done to 40 of his previous 45 opponents, namely knock him out before the final bell. I got beat by experience, but he did not hurt me. I gave a great fight Chisora, 28, lost the fight at the Olympiahalle 119-111, 118-110, 118-110. Chisora was a huge underdog going into the fight, but managed to spark worldwide interest by slapping Klitschko at Friday's weigh-in. A build-up already shrouded in controversy grew murkier still when news began to filter through that a row had erupted over Chisora's handwraps. The Ukrainian's camp insisted that Chisora's wraps be removed and reapplied, causing the fight to be delayed by 20 minutes. On being informed of the delay, Klitschko's German fans, already distinctly unimpressed by the challenger, made their distaste known with a hail of whistles and boos, which reached fever pitch when Chisora finally appeared. While the Londoner's actions succeeded in making the fight a talking point, they had the unfortunate side-effect of angering not only the locals but also Klitschko, who had lost only four rounds in eight fights since his comeback in 2008. Chisora was giving away six inches in height and reach to the champion, meaning that many thought his pre-fight promise to be aggressive and fight on the front foot would be difficult to accomplish. I have respect for Chisora as a fighter but I don't have respect for him as a human. He showed a bad example for all boxing, for all fighters. He came from Great Britain but he's not a gentleman However, Chisora started well, demonstrating good head movement in the first round and landing with a couple of looping right hands, although Klitschko did begin to find his range towards the end of the opening stanza. Klitschko landed with a punishing left-right combination midway through round two and followed up with three or four more right hands down the stretch, to all of which Chisora stood up well. Chisora had some success to the body at the beginning of the third, but was stopped in his tracks by a thunderous uppercut and there were signs of desperation on the sound of the bell, the Englishman missing with a wild left hook that almost took him off his feet. By round four, Chisora was bleeding from the nose and mouth as Klitschko, fighting almost exclusively on the back foot, continued to break him down with his ramrod right. But a game Chisora kept ploughing forward, to the extent that Klitschko looked to be tiring by round five. And,while Klitschko continued to find his mark with his right in the sixth, he did not have it all his own way, the challenger perhaps doing enough to nick the round. Chisora came on strong in the seventh, backing up his rival with some solid shots, only for Klitschko to land with perhaps his best shot of the fight, a barnstorming overhand right that appeared to make Chisora buckle. But Chisora was undeterred, continuing to take Klitschko beyond his comfort zone, where the champion had been so rarely in his previous 45 fights. VITALI KLITSCHKO (WBC Heavyweight title holder) DERECK CHISORA (Challenger) *includes Munich bout At the end of round nine, during which Klitschko landed with his right almost at will, the champion looked astonished that his opponent was still standing, let alone making it a contest with three rounds to go. And, while Klitschko had the better of the exchanges down the stretch, Chisora never stopped coming forward and could leave the ring with his head held high. Klitschko's previous defeat was against British legend Lennox Lewis in 2003, and the 40-year-old, who beat another Brit in Danny Williams in 2004, has not had too many harder fights since. Chisora, meanwhile, has lost three of his last four fights - to Klitschko, Robert Helenius and Tyson Fury - but his latest performance and the parlous state of the heavyweight division mean that there are other fights out there for him. Furthermore, Chisora will be buoyed that he gave arguably a better account of himself than domestic rival David Haye gave in losing to Vitali's younger brother Wladimir in Hamburg last July. However, following the bust-up between Chisora and Haye's camps at the post-fight press conference, which ended with Haye's trainer Adam Booth suffering cuts to his face, it was once again matters outside the ring that will dominate the headlines. Trading Standards cited the independent findings and warned that counterfeit electrical goods bought online were an "unknown entity". Of 400 counterfeit chargers, only three were found to have enough insulation to protect against electric shocks. It comes as Apple has complained of a "flood" of fakes being sold on Amazon. Apple revealed in October that it was suing a third-party vendor, which it said was putting customers "at risk" by selling power adapters masquerading as those sold by the Californian tech firm. Trading Standards pointed to findings from tests performed by safety specialists UL. They applied a high voltage to the chargers, which were bought online from eight different countries, including the US, China and Australia, to test for sufficient insulation. Leon Livermore, the chief executive of Chartered Trading Standards Institute, urged shoppers to buy electrical goods only from trusted suppliers. "It might cost a few pounds more, but counterfeit and second-hand goods are an unknown entity that could cost you your home or even your life, or the life of a loved-one," he said. A separate operation found that of 3,019 electrical goods bought second hand, 15% were non-compliant. Officers said the unsafe electrical items, which came from charity shops, antique dealers and second-hand shops, had failings such as counterfeit plugs and basic insulation. Source: Trading Standards Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said: "Counterfeit electrical goods are likely to be poor quality and in the worst cases unsafe. "Look out for tell-tale signs of counterfeiting such as mistakes in brand names or logos, and check plugs for safety marks - all genuine electrical items made in the EU should have a CE mark on them." Consumers were also urged not to overcharge appliances and to never cover devices when charging or use a charger with a cracked case or frayed cable. There is no suggestion the company involved in the Apple case sold the chargers used in the Trading Standards tests. Conservative-led Torbay Council in Devon spent £2.35m on beach huts in 2013-2015, renting some for £2,500-a-year. It spent £470,000 on affordable housing during the same period. Liberal Democrat Steve Darling said it was "shocking" and showed the council had its priorities wrong. The council's housing chief said huts brought in "much-needed revenue". There is a waiting list for seasonal huts at all council-run sites in Torbay. The unitary authority redeveloped beach huts at Broadsands and Meadfoot - some of which now are now rented out at more than £2,500-a-year. In an email to council elected mayor Gordon Oliver, Mr Darling, leader of the council's Lib Dem group, said he found it "quite shocking" that, in 2014 alone, Torbay Council spent £1.7m on beach huts "and nothing on the development of affordable housing in Torbay". He also said the council put the seafront ahead of affordable housing. Mark King, the councillor in charge of housing, said the council was "fully committed" to affordable housing. He said: "The beach hut scheme is a capital investment and that will bring in much-needed revenue." Modern heavy armour gave the rebels the advantage in fighting at Donetsk airport recently, Reuben Johnson of Jane's Defence told the BBC. Ukraine has asked the US for Javelin anti-tank missiles and hi-tech radar that locates heavy artillery, he said. Washington is considering whether to supply Ukraine with defensive weapons. So far the US has not delivered arms that can match Russian equipment. Nato, Western governments and the Ukrainian government say Russian regular troops are fighting alongside the rebels, using new heavy armour and artillery. Russia denies that, but says Russian "volunteers" have joined the rebels. "The Russian equipment in eastern Ukraine is some of the best they have," said Mr Johnson, based in the Ukrainian capital Kiev. "About 70% of Ukrainian anti-tank missiles are old or even expired. But almost all the Russian armour is reactive - that means boxes of explosives cover the tank, so when a missile hits a box it blows up the missile without harming the tank." Last year Ukraine asked the US for counter-battery radars, which can show the path of incoming projectiles, he said. Such tracking radars enable troops to pinpoint an artillery or mortar unit, which can then be targeted. "They got counter-mortar radar - but its range is shorter, and it didn't work," Mr Johnson said. Counter-artillery radar was not supplied apparently because the US government feared that Ukraine might then target artillery pieces firing from Russian soil, he said. The rebels control a big swathe of Donetsk and Luhansk regions - known as "Donbas" - bordering on Russia. The conflict erupted last April, when the rebels seized government buildings in Donbas, shortly after Russia had annexed Ukraine's Crimea peninsula. A group of US think-tanks has given estimates of the troop strengths in the combat zone, in a new report. It is based on recent discussions with Nato and Ukrainian officials. The report quotes Ukrainian sources as saying "the total number of Russian troops and separatist fighters in the Donbas came to 36,000, as opposed to 34,000 Ukrainian troops along the line of contact. "They believed that Russian forces made up 8,500 to 10,000 of the 36,000." However, the report also notes that Nato gives a very different assessment of Russian troop numbers in Donbas. Nato estimates that up to 1,000 GRU personnel (Russian military intelligence) and Russian officers are helping the rebels, according to the report. But Nato says the troops have not been operating as organised Russian army units. These estimates contrast with those of a Russian military analyst, Ilya Kramnik, who said last September that Ukrainian troops outnumbered the rebels two-to-one. He gave the figures as 20,000 to 25,000 on the rebel side, against 45,000 to 50,000 Ukrainian troops. It follows the victory parade in Manchester on Monday when thousands of supporters lined the streets to cheer on the victorious athletes. Team GB won 67 medals in Rio, two more than they gained at London 2012, while the Paralympians won 147 medals - 27 more than four years ago. Medallists also attended a reception at Buckingham Palace. About 6,000 people were expected at the "Heroes Return" event in central London which began at 13:00 BST. Several of the athletes addressed the crowd from the stage, paying tribute to the support they had received. Paralympian Richard Whitehead MBE said the event was "amazing" and called London "a special place for sport". Swimmer Adam Peaty, who won Team GB's first gold medal and broke his own world record at Rio, said seeing the number of spectators in Trafalgar Square meant "so much" to him. London mayor Sadiq Khan said the athletes had "inspired millions of people". "I feel privileged and humbled to be here as a fan," he said. The event ended with the athletes dancing on stage during a performance by The Vamps, after which confetti was released in the square. Various members of the Royal Family - including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry - joined the Queen to meet medallists at the Buckingham Palace reception.

One recurring social media prop has been the use of images that aren't quite what they seem. Key moments in the campaign have been immortalised with some very creative photoshopping, which frequently led to the birth of widely shared memes and hashtags and generally resulted in carefully staged campaign 'moments' not having the entirely desired effect... The campaign kicked of with a slightly unusual celebrity endorsement of the Lib Dems by reality TV star Joey Essex, who told wide-eyed journalists he had thought the party was called the Liberal 'Democats' before meeting leader Nick Clegg who helpfully put him straight. The Lib Dems took it in good humour and took to photoshop themselves to join in the fun, briefly changing their website logo... When Ed Miliband appeared next to a huge stone slab with his election promises engraved on it, it was open season for photoshoppers everywhere as social media lit up with Moses jokes and it quickly became known online as #EdStone. Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls was roundly mocked online as the fourth anniversary of #EdBallsDay, the day that the internet marks his accidental tweeting of his own name, rolled around and he was photoshopped into all manner of inappropriate places. Ed Miliband became an unlikely online pin up as the his face was photoshopped onto images of famous movie stars, musicians and footballers bodies and #milifandom was born, some taking it more seriously than others. One by one as the major parties manifestos were launched they were mercilessly mocked online. And then there was the dead pigeon incident... where an unfortunate pigeon fell victim to the Lib Dem campaign bus and Twitter reacted, well, as you might expect it to... The Tories weren't safe from photoshop fiends either, as they (and all the parties) tried to convince us that they are inclusive and forward-thinking. We looked at the kind of political rebrands social media generously offered the main parties, the Tory tree getting more than one reworking. As the campaign rumbled on David Cameron's newfound passion didn't go unnoticed as he started to appear at events mid-campaign with his sleeves rolled up, and for once it was the audio rather an the imagery that got a reworking. Remarking at one event that the campaign was making him feel 'pumped up', this clip from his speech which was quickly turned into a mash up with the Black-Eyed Peas song of a similar name. There were however some stories that made headlines where no photoshopping or re-mastering was required... The Green Party offered an alternative vision with an advert portraying the Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem and UKIP leaders as a slightly questionable boyband. On the other hand if teenage girls got onboard with #milifandom who knows what will win votes. Staying on the musical theme #constituencysongs was an early Twitter hit, when tweeters took to the site to offer song titles reworked to contain constituencies, to the amusement of bored journalists everywhere. Again no tweaking required, when an enthusiastic UKIP voter in Essex when asked his name by a journalist replied: As a frightening number of error ridden leaflets appeared on people's doormats, they took to social media to share their horror, altering the images little further than an indignant biro-ringing of the offending error. Yes, that's a stick with a wig on it. No, it hasn't been photoshopped. It's one of a number of unusual images that we were treated to, via social media, as we took a look at the weird world of hustings. The unusual paring of Ed Miliband and Russell Brand appeared on our screens leading to... you guessed it, #milibrand as Ed appeared to 'rebrand' himself, adopting an estuary twang for the duration of the encounter. You might not believe it but these pictures genuinely weren't photoshopped. Yep, they really were all wearing the same thing, while telling us earnestly how different they all were from the other guy. But as ever the truth will out (on social media). And wait for it... The UKIP ringtone. You didn't think we'd forgotten that gem did you? No re-mastering required this treat is 100% original. You're welcome! Written by Kerry Alexandra Mark Colborne, 37, of Southampton, was found guilty of preparing terrorist acts after a retrial. A previous jury failed to reach a verdict. The trial heard how Colborne had felt "belittled" for being ginger and white. Judge John Bevan accepted a majority verdict at the Old Bailey and will sentence Colborne on 3 November. The verdict was reached by a majority of ten to two jurors after more than 14 hours of deliberations. They found him guilty of possessing handwritten notes and books related to making recipes for lethal poisons such as cyanide. He bought the ingredients over the internet, and stockpiled dust masks, metal filter funnels, plastic syringes and latex gloves at his home in Butts Road, jurors were told. However, Colborne was cleared of intending to use the chemicals and paraphernalia as part of the terror plot. The court heard Colborne felt alienated and marginalised for being a white, ginger-haired man and also suffered from agoraphobia and depression. In his notebook, he wrote about carrying out the assassination of Prince Charles so that Prince Harry could be king. "I don't want to be a serial killer. I'm more of an Anders Breivik. I have left potential targets open. "I was waiting for an opportunity to kill one of them. Let it be Prince Charles which would be good," he wrote. He added he wanted a "silent rifle...take up a good position and put a bullet in Charles's head". Prosecutor Annabel Darlow said Colborne's notes expressed hatred for "non-Aryans" whom he referred to as "blacks and Caucasian idiots". Judge Bevan said: "It is a very strange case involving, if I may say it, a very strange person." Colborne was arrested on 3 June last year after his half-brother and mother uncovered chemicals and papers detailing his racial hatred stashed in his bedroom. Internet providers BT and TalkTalk demanded the judicial review, arguing that the legislation was rushed through parliament without proper debate. They claim that the measures unnecessarily impact users' privacy and force ISPs to police copyright infringement on the net. If the court finds in their favour, the act would no longer be enforceable. "It is a big deal to be judicially reviewing primary legislation but we took advice and there were very clearly were some real problems," said Simon Milner, BT's head of industry policy. "It might find that it is all fine - I'd be surprised if it was - but we are going to court to get legal clarity," he added. The courts will consider whether the act is in line with European legislation, in particular as it relates to users' privacy and the role of ISPs. The previous government brought in the tough measures to deal with the growing issue of internet piracy. Under the current legislation, content providers will have to monitor peer-to-peer networks for illegal activity and collate the IP addresses - the numerical code that links a particular computer network to an illegally downloaded file. They can then apply to a court to force ISPs to surrender the real world address that is connected to that IP address. Letters could then be sent to alleged net pirates, advising them that their computer connection has been used in illegal activity. The creative industry is keen that the emphasis will be on education initially, although people will go on a blacklist which could in future be used to take individual infringers to court. Other penalties, such as slowing down net connections or even cutting people off from the net entirely have not been ruled out, but would need additional legislation. The letter-writing strategy bears similarities to the tactics of discredited law firm ACS: Law, which sent over 10,000 letters to alleged net pirates. Unlike content providers, which will not be levying fines, ACS: Law collected some £300,000 from people - who were charged an average of £500 per infringement. Not everyone paid up and 27 cases recently went to court in highly controversial circumstances. Lead solicitor Andrew Crossley attempted to discontinue the cases shortly before the hearing was due and was accused of obstructing the court process. In the middle of the case, Mr Crossley said he no longer wanted to be in the business of chasing net pirates and the cases were eventually thrown out. But he faces an investigation for his conduct from the Solicitors' Regulation Authority and could be hit with legal costs for the cases he brought. During the court case, doubt was cast over whether an IP address was suitable evidence of wrong-doing as it does not identify the individual user - only the location of their connection. Consumer watchdog Which? highlighted several cases where people claimed to have been wrongly accused. Charles Dunstone, chairman of TalkTalk, thinks the same thing will happen if the government's measures go ahead. "Innocent broadband customers will suffer and citizens will have their privacy invaded," he said. Jim Killock, director of the Open Rights Group, said that he is particularly worried about how the legislation will affect public wi-fi hotspots. "We need to start again and find a new policy settlement which embraces, rather than tramples on, the exciting possibilities that the digital age offers," he said. John McVay, chief executive of PACT (Producers Alliance for Cinema and TV), who will represent the UK's creative industries at the judicial review, defended the act. "The Digital Economy Act is the result of many years of consultation and presents a reasonable and balanced solution," he said. But Mark Mulligan, an analyst with Forrester Research, warned that even if the act remains intact, the measures won't work because they are already out-of-date. "Peer-to-peer file-sharing is yesterday's game. People now are going off the network where they won't be detected - swapping hard-drives, and getting music via blogs and upload sites," he said. The 27-year-old former England Saxons player made his senior debut in 2009 and has played 17 times for Dai Young's Wasps side so far this season. "We are delighted to bring a player of Tom's quality and experience to the squad," Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys told the club website. "I have always enjoyed playing at Kingsholm," former Saracens Academy member Lindsay added. "It is a great, traditional rugby venue and, with the city hosting World Cup matches, it is going to be a great place to be next season. "I was very impressed with David Humphreys' vision for the future of the club and it will be good to be part of it." Meanwhile, former Gloucester and England hooker Neil McCarthy has joined Gloucester as the club's new head of academy. "I felt the time was right to move back," McCarthy told BBC Radio Gloucestershire. He played for Gloucester between 2000 and 2002 and had been head of academy at Leicester Tigers since 2008. Opener Lauren Winfield is the only player in the current squad for the upcoming T20 series in South Africa not to be chosen in the 15-strong party. Brunt, 30, will miss the T20s in South Africa after suffering a back spasm in the one-day international series. Her replacement, left-arm seamer Natasha Farrant, is called up for an ICC world event for the first time. "We are all looking forward to testing ourselves against the very best cricketers from across the world," said head coach Mark Robinson. "Tash really impressed during the training camp to Sri Lanka before Christmas, and adds a different dimension to the bowling attack as a left-arm seamer." England, who won the inaugural event in 2009 and have been runners-up on the last two occasions, begin their campaign against Bangladesh in Bangalore on 17 March, followed by matches against hosts India, West Indies and Pakistan. England squad: Tammy Beaumont (Kent), Katherine Brunt (Yorkshire), Charlotte Edwards (Kent, capt), Georgia Elwiss (Sussex), Natasha Farrant (Kent), Lydia Greenway (Kent), Rebecca Grundy (Warwickshire), Jenny Gunn (Nottinghamshire), Danielle Hazell (Yorkshire), Amy Jones (Warwickshire, wk), Heather Knight (Berkshire, vice-capt), Natalie Sciver (Surrey), Anya Shrubsole (Somerset), Sarah Taylor (Sussex, wk), Danielle Wyatt (Nottinghamshire). Wales led after an hour, but the world champions scored 21 unanswered points in the final quarter to overpower them. All Blacks wing Waisake Naholo scored twice with Julian Savea, Kieran Read and Nathan Harris also crossing. Taulupe Faletau and Rhys Webb scored for Wales, but they could not mark Alun Wyn Jones' 100th appearance with a first win in New Zealand. It was a familiar story for Wales who could not maintain the intensity of their opening half against an All Black side playing for the first time since the World Cup final and without legends Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and Ma'a Nonu. Harris' try with the clock in the red at the end of the game distorted the scoreline, although after the break the All Blacks were completely dominant. And it could have been worse. Referee Wayne Barnes controversially disallowed a touchdown by TJ Perenara to the consternation of the home crowd, but redressed the balance by ruling out Faletau's late try. Wales' last win against the All Blacks was in 1953, and under coach Warren Gatland they have won only twice in 31 games against the big three southern hemisphere countries. Wales led at half-time after a thrilling see-saw opening 40 minutes when the lead changed hands three times. A blistering start by the All Blacks yielded only an Aaron Cruden penalty before the visitors delivered a superb team move which culminated in Faletau diving over in the left corner. It spurred New Zealand into action as Savea touched down from a Cruden cross-kick and then Naholo rounded off a brilliant attack initiated by full-back Ben Smith. Far from yielding, Wales hit back when the counter-attacking Liam Williams found Rhys Webb on his shoulder and the scrum-half claimed his seventh international try. But in a key passage of play just before the interval, New Zealand held out after a period of intense pressure on their own try-line. The All Blacks' ability to step-up a gear meant Wales were always hanging on after the interval. Dan Biggar's penalty wiped out Cruden's earlier effort. But with the home line-out getting on top and the introduction of brilliant runners Beauden Barrett, Ardie Savea and Parenara from the bench it was only a matter of time before the All Blacks' pressure paid-off. Wales have no time to regroup. They face Waikato Chiefs in Hamilton on Tuesday before a second Test against the All Blacks in Wellington on 18 June. Wales captain Sam Warburton: "The message was we couldn't come here and play safe and I thought some of our counter-attacking was excellent. "We're really disappointed to concede seven at the end and make the scoreboard look a little bit ugly." New Zealand captain Kieran Read: "It was what we expected. Wales were fired up and it was a reminder you've got to work hard. "The boys had a really good attitude in the second half." New Zealand: Ben Smith, Waisake Naholo, Malakai Fekitoa, Ryan Crotty, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Joe Moody, Dane Coles, Owen Franks, Luke Romano, Brodie Retallick, Jerome Kaino, Kieran Read (captain), Sam Cane. Replacements: Nathan Harris (for Coles), Wyatt Crockett (for Moody), Charlie Faumuina (for Franks), Patrick Tuipulotu (for Romano), Ardie Savea (for Cane), TJ Perenara (for A Smith), Beauden Barrett (for J Savea), Seta Tamanivalu (for Fekitoa). Wales: Liam Williams, George North, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Hallam Amos, Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb; Gethin Jenkins, Ken Owens, Samson Lee, Bradley Davies, Alun Wyn Jones, Ross Moriarty, Sam Warburton, Taulupe Faletau. Replacements: Scott Baldwin (for Owens), Rob Evans (for Jenkins), Tomas Francis (for Lee), Jake Ball (For Davies), Ellis Jenkins (for Warburton), Gareth Davies (for Webb), Gareth Anscombe (for L Williams), Scott Williams (for Roberts). Referee: Wayne Barnes (England). Assistant Referees: Jaco Peyper (South Africa), Will Houston (Australia). The Republic's Environmental Protection Agency released the study of a worst-case-scenario accident at the plant. It found that people would not have to shelter indoors or flee the country in the case of a major radiation leak. In September, a BBC investigation uncovered a catalogue of safety concerns at the Cumbria site. Panorama found parts of Sellafield regularly have too few staff to operate safely and that radioactive materials have been stored in degrading plastic bottles. The report from the Irish EPA found that a serious accident at the plant would lead to people in the Republic of Ireland receiving twice the average annual dose of radiation they normally receive from a variety of sources. It also said significant food controls would have to put in place in order to avoid long-term health consequences. But Dr Ciara McMahon, programme manager in the EPA's office of Radiological Protection, said "severe radiological effects in Ireland are unlikely" if a serious accident were to occur at the facility, which is some 180km from the Irish coastline. The study outlined the EPA's assessment of the potential radiation doses to the Irish public from a variety of different potential scenarios at Sellafield. They included two unspecified severe events, in which there would be an aerial release of hot radioactive material into a plume, a meteorite impact or a plane crash. The study modelled how a radioactive cloud might disperse in the atmosphere following a release from the plant in the north-west of England, and focused on worst-case weather conditions for the Republic of Ireland. In particular, it looked at how ingestion into the food chain would impact human health during the passage of such a cloud over the country, a week later and a year later. It found that the doses the public would be exposed to from inhaling the radioactivity would not be so high as to require people to shelter, relocate or even evacuate. But the report does state that staying indoors, particularly during the passage of the plume overhead, could reduce the amount of radioactivity that people would be exposed to by as much as 80%. It adds that a National Emergency Plan for Nuclear Accidents would "provide a coordinated emergency response to a situation where there is widespread radioactive contamination in Ireland". Among the impacts would be a loss of tourism and damage to markets for Irish seafood and farm products, which the report says could continue long after radioactivity levels return to normal. Reacting to the report, South Down MP Margaret Ritchie said "News last year that the plant is due to miss its target for the completion of all oversees processing contracts adds further to the growing body of evidence that the decommissioning of nuclear plants is entirely unsafe and unmanageable. "This comes following the discovery of incredibly dangerous conditions at Sellafield, including cracked storage ponds and wildlife swimming within ponds used for storing radioactive material." Andrew Broadhead, 42, and eight-year-old Kiera died in the blaze at their home in Ash Crescent, Stanley, Wakefield on Wednesday. Police believe an "accelerant was poured through the letterbox". In a statement, his wife Sara said he saved her life and rescued their eldest daughter before going back in. Police think the arsonist may have been injured because the fire took hold so quickly and continue to appeal for anyone with information to come forward. Mrs Broadhead, 35, thanked the local community for the "kindness and support" they have been shown. She said: "Andy was a brave hero who managed to save the lives of his wife and eldest daughter. "Unfortunately he couldn't save our youngest daughter Kiera and gave his own life trying to save hers. "He was a very kind man and Kiera was a vibrant, independent loving girl. Our whole family are absolutely devastated by their loss." Firefighters were called to the scene of the blaze at about 04:20 BST on Wednesday. An online fundraising campaign to help support the family has raised more than £8,000. Stephen Downes of Glebe Gardens in Moira is alleged to have assaulted three children on five occasions between October 2010 and March 2011. The court heard from a classroom assistant who said she had heard thuds, crying and screaming while Mr Downes was alone in a room with a pupil. Mr Downes denies the charges. The classroom assistant told the court she assumed from the noises that Mr Downes had pinned the pupil to the ground. However, a lawyer for the teacher questioned why there had been a delay between the incident and the classroom assistant reporting it. She said she did not know why there had been a delay. The case has been adjourned. David Wildstein admitted he played a part in shutting down one of the busiest crossings in the United States in September 2013. The gridlock was allegedly engineered to punish a Democratic mayor who did not endorse the governor's re-election. Mr Christie has denied any involvement. Bill Baroni, former deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New Jersey and Bridget Kelly, a former deputy chief of staff to Mr Christie, were also charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud. According to the charging document, Mr Wildstein, Ms Kelly and Mr Baroni conspired to punish the mayor of the New Jersey suburb Fort Lee for refusing to support Mr Christie's re-election bid. They are alleged to have shut down two lanes of traffic on the bridge on the first day of school to maximise the congestion. Commuters were stuck in traffic for hours over four mornings. Both Mr Baroni and Ms Kelly have denied the charges. Mr Wildstein, a former senior official at the agency that operates the bridge, pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy in a court in Newark on Friday. He could be jailed for up to 15 years, although his guilty plea may be taken into account in sentencing. His lawyer Alan Zegas said his client "deeply regretted" his involvement in the incident. Mr Zegas also claimed that "evidence exists" to prove that Mr Christie was aware of the lane closures while they were occurring. However, the governor again rejected the allegations. "Today's charges make clear that what I've said from day one is true," he said. "I had no knowledge or involvement in the planning or execution of this act." The US prosecutor for New Jersey, Paul Fishman, said there were no plans to charge anyone else in connection with the scheme. Mr Christie was once a favourite for the Republican presidential nomination, but has seen his popularity dip in recent months. Media playback is not supported on this device That is the view of current GB skier Dave Ryding, who is in career-best form despite receiving no UK Sport funding. Baxter was stripped of GB's first-ever Olympic medal on the snow after testing positive for a banned substance. "Sponsors would have lined up for the team and what happened was a travesty," Ryding told BBC Sport. "It was so unlucky with the [banned substance in the] Vicks inhaler and I really think Baxter and the GB team would have been able to kick on from there, but for the decision." Despite losing their first ever Olympic medal, the British ski and snowboard team had their UK Sport funding boosted from £185,000 to over £1.9m leading into the following Winter Olympics in Turin in 2006. Baxter competed in Italy, finishing a credible 16th, but other disappointing results saw UK Sport's support for the federation drop to £620,000 and just before the 2010 Games in Vancouver began, Snowsport GB was declared bankrupt. "My parents had to sacrifice so much when I was younger as support was always difficult to find," said Ryding, who made his Olympic debut in 2010. "Coming into Vancouver is where everything totally shut down. There was no federation and yes we managed to go there and represent GB, but the preparation was poor and it was stressful." Worse would follow, with UK Sport removing all support for alpine skiing after the 2010 Olympics, meaning skiers have relied entirely on sponsors since. "[Main GB sponsor] Delancey has been huge for us because without chairman Sir John Ritblat, who's been a long-standing supporter, we literally wouldn't have a programme," said Ryding. "I can honestly say without him and my private sponsors and the generosity of other people, I wouldn't be here today." Ryding himself insists there is "no secret" but hard work behind his recent success, which includes a 12th place at the Val d'Isere World Cup in France and 13th in Santa Caterina, Italy. The 29-year-old does feel that steadily increasing the exercises he does off the slopes is playing a role though. "Vancouver was very much an experience and I was honestly crushed by the big guys, so that made me realise I needed to put more hours in the gym," he said. "In Sochi I finished 17th and I'm now at that age where I'm coming into my prime as a slalom skier, so I feel like I'm in a good position now to mix it with the best guys," he said. UK Sport's strict funding model means it will only provide funding to sports that convince it they have the potential to challenge for Olympic medals at either of the next two Games. At present all of the current financial support from UK Sport is directed towards freestyle skiing and snowboarding, following Jenny Jones' 2014 bronze and a number of promising performances from young athletes. Ryding, though, is refusing to give up hope of a long-awaited reprieve for the alpine programme. "The success of freestyle has put Britain back on the winter sports map, it's getting people on skis and hopefully with myself and Alex [Tilley] pushing on, more people will head to alpine," he said. Media playback is not supported on this device "The new federation has come in and I'm 100% happy with the direction we're going in. "We don't get UK Sport funding yet, but hopefully this season we could change that and I'm almost certain that we can mix it with the leading nations." There are still over two years until the next Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, but the Lancashire-raised skier is already thinking about the Games. "If I keep building, I am sure I can go top 10 and if you're ranked up there then on the day anything can happen," he said. "There are so many conditions and variables but if they align for you and I keep working and loving the sport then I can do something special."

Two people, including the gunman, died as commandos stormed the cafe on Tuesday morning bringing an end to the 16-hour siege. Four people were injured, including a policeman hit by shotgun pellets. Mr Reddy and Mr Ghosh were both undergoing medical checkups and "will be back home safe," Ms Swaraj tweeted. Reports said both Indians were software engineers and had been working in Australia for several years. Mr Reddy, 38, is working with Infosys, India's second-largest IT services firm, while Mr Ghosh, 35, is a manager in an Australian bank, media reports said. Mr Reddy's wife, Shilpa Reddy, told The Indian Express newspaper that her husband "has come out of the cafe and he is fine". "I spoke with him, he is absolutely fine. As a precautionary measure, police have taken him and others to a medical centre. Police will also debrief them and he won't be able to talk now," she said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier tweeted that the Sydney incident was "disturbing and profoundly shocking". Local media have named those who died as Lindt cafe manager Tori Johnson, 34 and lawyer Katrina Dawson, 38. The police said 17 hostages were accounted for, including those who had managed to escape earlier. The gunman, named as Man Haron Monis, forced some of the hostages to hold up a black Islamic banner at the window of the cafe. Monis received political asylum in Australia in 1996 and was on bail facing a number of charges. Protesters said a ban on vehicles in "green lanes" would take away historic rights built up over centuries. The Peak District National Park Authority said a consultation had finished but no final decision had yet been made. The park authority said it had received 2,500 responses in the consultation. The consultation followed concern about damage to the lanes, and disruption to walkers and animals. Two "go-slow" protests have already taken place to show opposition to the proposals to ban vehicles from unsurfaced lanes in the park. Green Lane Association spokesman Chris Mitchell said: "The proposals mean a number of popular lanes used by 4x4 vehicles and trial bikes will be closed to traffic and kept for walkers and horses only." Protester Mike Irving said: "By mingling, taking up car parking spaces and cafe benches, we're causing a mild inconvenience and engaging the public in conversation about the problem. "We've not been badly received. There's a small minority of people who don't want us there. "We're not hoodlums. We're not driving off-piste. We're not villains. We are respectable people who are being tarred with the same brush." A spokesman for the park authority said: "We are currently looking at our consultation responses ... and we're looking to get them into a reportable format. No decision has been taken as yet."

One in 10 patients dies within 30 days of undergoing urgent, unplanned laparotomy and some of these deaths could be avoided, the authors say. The National Emergency Laparotomy Audit team found the care for these high-risk patients was lacking at some hospitals. Expert supervision and best treatment was not always immediately on hand. The audit, commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership and funded by the government, looked at data from more than 20,000 patients from 192 of 195 eligible NHS hospitals. It found: More than 30,000 patients have this emergency surgery each year in NHS hospitals within England and Wales. The procedure, done under general anaesthetic, involves making an incision to operate inside the abdomen to treat life-threatening conditions such as bowel obstruction, perforation or a bleed. Miss Clare Marx, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, is concerned the mortality rate for the procedure remains too high. "This audit demonstrates patients are still not accessing a consistently high standard of care from initial assessment through to post-operative care," she said. She said improving the outcomes for these patients should be made a top priority. Iain Anderson, the lead surgeon involved in the audit, said many clinical teams had already reviewed and improved the way they delivered care. He urged other hospitals to follow suit. "This audit is an essential step in helping all involved measure and continue that development and in indicating particularly to weaker teams how they might improve services and save lives," he said. Prof Mike Grocott, chairman of the audit, said even a modest improvement could have a substantial benefit. He said the audit team would be following up with the best and worst hospitals to understand what was being done well, sharing best practice to improve performance where necessary. It may be necessary to accept more delays for routine surgery so these emergency cases can be given a higher priority, say the report authors. The Office for National Statistics will soon be releasing new hospital-level data on emergency laparoscopy death rates.

Too many patients are dying following emergency bowel surgery, experts who have done a comprehensive audit of care across England and Wales warn.

His interim world title bout against Bermane Stiverne in December was cancelled after he tested positive for the banned muscle-builder ostarine. That came after he tested positive for meldonium before a WBC world title fight against Deontay Wilder last May. The ban is only for bouts sanctioned by the World Boxing Council, which has also fined him $250,000 (£205,000). Povetkin, 37, avoided a sanction after the Wilder fight was cancelled as he said he had stopped taking meldonium in 2015, before it became a banned substance. The club announced on Friday that they had accepted manager Mark Warburton's resignation, but he denies resigning. Managing director Stewart Robertson says the club have not spoken to anyone about the manager's job and that they "want to be a modern football club". Under-20s coach Graeme Murty is in interim charge of the first team. "We see that sometimes when managers leave a lot of the structure leaves with them," Robertson told Rangers' website. "That is no use, you put a lot of time a lot of investment and a lot of resource into developing that side of the business and you can't have that changing every time a manager changes. "The director of football gives you that continuity. They oversee the overall football department, all aspects of it, including the academy, performance and preparation, analysis and everything as well as the first team." Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes and St Johnstone counterpart Tommy Wright have distanced themselves from speculation linking them with the Rangers vacancy, while former Rangers manager Alex McLeish has indicated his willingness to return to Ibrox. Another potential candidate, Frank de Boer, is unlikely to take on a new job until the summer. Rangers, 27 points behind leaders Celtic, are third in the Scottish Premiership and have reached the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup. "We haven't at this stage spoken to anyone about the manager or director of football roles," added Robertson. "We are just gathering the facts and we will take our time as they are two key roles. "We have a very capable interim manager in Graeme Murty, who has risen to the challenge fantastically well so far and we will run with that for the foreseeable future. "I know there has been some chat within the media about whether we will get an interim manager and then a permanent manager. Ideally you would get your permanent manager in place from day one. "It may be that due to circumstances that's not possible until the summer, in which case we need to look at filling the role in an interim basis. "However, it is our objective to try to get someone permanent in place from day one. "The target is to finish as high as we can in the league, which realistically is second place. "Obviously we would love to win the Scottish Cup this year as well and that's a very clear goal that we will set the team." Roosters coach Trent Robinson described Pearce's behaviour as "unacceptable". The club are investigating and have informed the NRL. In the video, Pearce, 26, appears to try to kiss a woman, who accuses him of wetting himself after rejecting his advances, before allegedly simulating a sex act on a dog. "At the Roosters, we can't accept that and we won't," said Robinson. "Over the next couple of days we will come to a conclusion with the NRL." The incident is said to have happened at a house party on Australia Day. An NRL spokesman said the league's integrity unit "will work with the Roosters to ensure the matter is dealt with appropriately". Half-back Pearce, the son of rugby league legend and NRL commissioner Wayne Pearce, looks certain to miss the trip to England for the World Club Series clash with St Helens at Langtree Park on 19 February. In a statement, the Roosters said Pearce, who has played State of Origin rugby for New South Wales, will not train until the club "concludes its internal investigation". In 2014, Pearce was fined £9,800 and suspended after an incident in which he was arrested and ejected from a Sydney nightclub. England coach Steve McNamara is assistant coach at the Roosters. Thousands of people gathered for the ceremony, during which the Princess Royal presented the Letters Patent on behalf of the Queen. The move recognises the role the town played during the repatriation of UK military personnel killed in war. The event was attended by David Cameron and the new Defence Secretary Philip Hammond. It is the first time since 1909 that a town has been granted a royal title. At the start of the ceremony, former mayor of Wootton Bassett Steve Bucknell led a minute's silence to remember service personnel who have been killed. Speaking at the ceremony Princess Anne paid tribute to the residents and said the community had come together in a most extraordinary way. "I am privileged to be allowed to add my thanks to those of Her Majesty the Queen and the whole country for the example you set in responding with dignity and respect to the losses that this country, operational responsibilities have forced upon us," she said. Earlier the princess was received by the Lord Lieutenant, John Bush, before touring an exhibition in the town's library and watching a parade through the town's High Street. Wootton Bassett gained fame as its residents stood quietly showing respect for fallen servicemen whose bodies were driven through the town. The decision to rename it Royal Wootton Bassett was taken by the Queen following a petition from the prime minister. Mr Cameron stood alongside Mr Hammond, who was attending in his first official engagement since taking over the role from Liam Fox on Friday. Also there was the Chief of the General Staff, Sir Peter Wall. The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines, Collingwood, were marching to a piece of music entitled Wootton Bassett, written by Capt Pete Curtis, a Royal Marines director of music. Flypasts of a C-17 Globemaster and a C130 Hercules took place over the town. A Vulcan bomber was also due to fly over. A peal of bells, especially written for the occasion, was sounded at the town's church of St Bartholemew. The first repatriation service took place in Wootton Bassett in April 2007 when the bodies of military personnel began arriving at the nearby RAF base at Lyneham. Since then thousands of people have turned out to pay their respects to servicemen killed in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The last cortege passed through the town in August, after which RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire became the landing site for planes returning from conflict zones. The last town to be given royal status was Tunbridge Wells in Kent, in 1909. Sellars, 21, left Aston Villa at the end of last season and has experience of the fourth tier after a loan spell with Wycombe in 2015-16. Sudan-born Eisa, 22, scored 57 goals for Greenwich over two seasons. "We've known about Mo for a couple of seasons and kept our eye on him due to his goalscoring prowess at that level," said boss Gary Johnson.

This was up from £738 a month in July last year and was the highest level seen since November. But official figures for the second quarter of the year showed a 1% annual rise in the UK. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said last month that private rental prices grew by 1% in England, 1.1% in Scotland and 0.2% in Wales in the 12 months to the end of June. The latest survey from LSL, which owns agents Reeds Rains and Your Move, is based on their own data. The survey suggested that rents rose year-on-year across the UK, except in the North East of England, where there was a fall of 3.8%. The biggest rise was in the South East of England, where it rose by 3.8%. It found that the average rent had risen by 0.8% compared with the previous month. "As the summer turns to early autumn, the rental market is approaching its busiest period - yet rent rises remain modest," said David Newnes, of LSL. The proportion of tenants in arrears on rent payments fell slightly, LSL said. A separate study by the Resolution Foundation, a not-for-profit research and policy organisation, suggested that 1.6 million households spent more than half of their disposable income on rent or mortgage payments. These so-called "pinched" households were more likely to rent privately, be young, live alone, live in one-bedroom properties, have recently moved and live in London, it suggested. "It is vital that more money is invested in the supply of new housing in order to drive down costs, otherwise we can expect to see a steady rise in the number of households that are 'housing pinched' over the coming years," said Laura Gardiner, analyst at the Resolution Foundation. Melvyn Lane from Porthmadog, Gwynedd, was driving for Express Motors when he went into a ditch on a motorway on 23 July last year. Two pupils from Bournside School in Cheltenham were seriously injured, and more than a dozen others were hurt. Lane admitted in February taking less than the compulsory nine hours of rest time before driving. He was fined £246 plus £480 charges and costs. Lane was investigated by the Driver and Vehicles Standards Agency and a hearing took place in Welshpool, Powys on Monday. It heard Lane failed to record that he had worked a 23:30 BST to 08:00 night shift for an out of hours GP service before starting a 14:15 to 22:00 shift with Express Motors. The Traffic Commissioner suspended his public licence until 1 July. Express Motors of Penygroes also pleaded guilty to failing to ensure a driver had sufficient rest, and the company was fined £1,250, plus £725 charges and court costs. Phil Smith said Sport England's job was to "get the nation fitter". The English Bridge Union says bridge is a "mind sport" and reclassifying it would increase opportunities to play. The Royal Courts of Justice will not be asked to decide if bridge is a sport - only whether it was reasonable for Sport England to have ruled it was not. Reclassifying it would have potential financial ramifications because bridge clubs would be eligible for grants from Sport England and the National Lottery. The English Bridge Union (EBU) also says lack of recognition hinders its ability to take part in international competitions. Granting permission for a judicial review in April, Judge Mr Justice Mostyn - who plays bridge - said: "You are doing more physical activity playing bridge, with all that dealing and playing, than in rifle shooting." Lawyers representing the EBU say they will argue Sport England has acted unlawfully by "adopting a policy that prevents it recognising sports that it does not consider to be 'physical'". What is a sport? Along with well-known sporting activities like football, rugby and cricket, Sport England has some less obvious choices on its list, including: The EBU says it has the definition of sport in the 2011 Charities Act on its side - activities "which promote health involving physical or mental skill or exertion" - as well as the International Olympic Committee, which said in 1999 that bridge and chess should be considered "mind sports". They are not currently part of the Olympic Games programme, but organisers of the 2020 summer Games in Tokyo have invited both chess and bridge to apply for inclusion, with the decision to be made next year. Government body Sport England, taking its lead from the Council of Europe, defines a sport as an "activity aimed at improving physical fitness and well-being, forming social relations and gaining results in competition". It has argued that bridge is no more of a sporting activity than "sitting at home, reading a book". Phil Smith, director of Sport England, told BBC Radio 5 live the argument ultimately came down to money and his organisation must spend its "precious funding" on activities which improve physical health. "It's Sport England's job to get the nation fitter," he said. "And although bridge is a fantastic pursuit, and we think it probably gives pleasure to a lot of people, it certainly isn't getting the nation any fitter." Mr Smith said classifying bridge as a sport would also "open the door" to other pursuits like chess and Scrabble to "dilute" Sport England's budget. But Heather Dhondy, a member of England's women's bridge team, said the card game "doesn't involve a great deal of physical activity", but players still had to be physically fit. "We can be playing up to nine hours a day," she added. Separately the EBU has also mounted a legal challenge to a decision by HM Revenue and Customs that bridge is not a sport and is not therefore exempt from VAT. Bridge, or contract bridge, is a card game played by four players who form two partnerships. It uses a standard 52-card deck and involves bets being made on the number of tricks each side will win. Source: English Bridge Union The hosts, without victory since 12 January, edged the early stages and led through Saville's 18-yard curler. The Rams, who themselves had endured an eight-match winless run prior to recent victories over Brentford and Blackburn, equalised through Chris Martin's free-kick from the edge of the area. But Saville's header with four minutes left won it for Kenny Jackett's side. The 22-year-old had never scored in 15 previous appearances for Wolves, and has spent time out on loan at Bristol City and Millwall since signing from Chelsea in 2014. But his brace either side of Martin's goal on the stroke of half-time ended the home side's "rotten run" and kept Derby five points adrift of the automatic promotion places. Wolves had carved out the better opportunities of an otherwise scrappy second half, with Matt Doherty having a goal correctly ruled out for offside and Bjorn Sigurdarson rattling the foot of the post. Substitute Thomas Ince came closest for a disjointed Derby, curling a left-footed effort just wide, while two Jacob Butterfield sighters from long range stung the hands of home keeper Carl Ikeme. Wolves manager Kenny Jackett: Media playback is not supported on this device "I am pleased with the performance. I felt that it was a good response after losing at Brentford on Tuesday. "You could see the passion that they had to play and hopefully now we can build on this win. "With losing the last three games, you are quite often looking to scrap out a draw to try and stop the rot and turn the tide, and then build on that. "We want to try and close the gap if we can between ourselves and the top sides. We will be looking up the table and trying to draw back some very good teams." Derby County head coach Darren Wassall: Media playback is not supported on this device "We certainly deserved at least a draw. It would have been a brilliant week if we had got a result, whether it was a win or a draw, as we wanted to remain unbeaten over the week. "So it is bitterly disappointing as I don't think we deserved that. Full credit to Wolves as they kept going, but two shots on target from the home side is tough to take. "But we have to take the positives as team performances over the last three games have been excellent. "The biggest disappointment of today is that we have conceded late on." Police said the Class A drug was found within a commercial property near a school and a house in the Livingston area. It was estimated to have a street value of about £24,000. The men, aged 34 and 23, were due to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court on Monday. The teenager was also reported to the children's reporter. The world number three cited "health concerns" for his decision but did not refer specifically to the Zika virus, as have Jason Day and Rory McIlroy. Spieth, 22, added: "Do I think it looks bad on golf? Maybe." But Northern Ireland's McIlroy was less apologetic, saying he may watch "track and field, swimming, diving, the stuff that matters" but perhaps not the golf. Media playback is not supported on this device Spieth's decision to pull out, announced on Monday, means none of the world's top four will be in Rio this summer, following the withdrawals of Day, McIlroy - who was set to represent Ireland - and world number two Dustin Johnson. But the two-time major winner said: "I'm making the decision that's best for me but I don't feel like I have to carry the torch for the sport. "I do hope to play in four or five Olympics in the future, but it's unique circumstances this year. "It was harder than deciding what university to go to or whether to turn pro. "Why was it so hard? I'm a huge believer in Olympic golf and playing for your country." Media playback is not supported on this device McIlroy, 27, who has four majors, was the first of the top four to withdraw from the Games, saying that golf's majors were more important to players than winning a gold medal. And speaking ahead of Thursday's Open at Royal Troon, he added: "I have no regrets about it at all. "I'll probably watch the Olympics, but I'm not sure golf will be one of the events I'll watch. "I don't feel like I've let the game down at all. I didn't get into golf to try to grow the game, I tried to get into golf to win championships." Zika has been found to cause Guillain-Barre, a rare neurological syndrome that causes temporary paralysis in adults. Carried by mosquitoes, the virus has also been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains. Masters champion Danny Willett, who will be ranked fourth in Rio, said there is "more chance of getting Malaria in South Africa than Zika in Rio". "Would people pull out if the Olympic Games were in Johannesburg? I don't know," said the Englishman. Golf is back in the Olympics after a 112-year absence, but the withdrawal of the top male players has overshadowed its return. "I sympathise with them," added Justin Rose, who will now be ranked fifth when he represents Team GB in Rio. "But from my point of view I see it as a once in a lifetime opportunity and it's about being part of something bigger than your sport. "The Olympics is about the best of the best going head to head no matter what the sport, so golf has been hit quite hard in that respect." Meanwhile two-time Ryder Cup winner Francesco Molinari has withdrawn from Italy's Olympic team, citing "family reasons". Zane Kirchner's try put Leinster ahead before Simon Zebo's well-taken score and a Ronan O'Mahony effort just before the break helped Munster move 14-10 up. Helped by a greater complement of Ireland players, Munster dominated after half-time as Tommy O'Donnell and CJ Stander added further tries. Richardt Strauss replied with a late try but it was Munster's evening. Munster's bonus-point win, in front of a record Thomond Park Pro12 attendance of 26,200, moves them five points clear of Leinster, who remain second in the table. The home side looked to have the stronger hand heading into the Boxing Day derby as they included front-line Ireland stars Conor Murray, Zebo, Stander, Donnacha Ryan and Peter O'Mahony. In contrast, Leinster were without Jamie Heaslip, Sean Cronin, Jack McGrath, Devin Toner, Sean O'Brien, Josh van der Flier and Garry Ringrose although Robbie Henshaw and Tadhg Furlong did start for Leo Cullen's side. After a scrappy opening in Limerick, full-back Kirchner ran a superb line to score on 18 minutes following fast hands from half-backs Jamison Gibson-Park and Ross Byrne after Jack Conan had peeled off a scrum on the edge of Munster's 22. But Munster were on terms within five minutes as Zebo contorted himself to dive over at the corner flag following a series of drives, with Tyler Bleyendaal's superb conversion matching Nacewa's earlier extras at the other end. After a Nacewa penalty restored Leinster's lead, the visitors looked to have crucially repelled Munster pressure late in the first half only for O'Mahony to score in the corner after a superb Bleyendaal pass took out final defender Kirchner. With the impressive fly-half adding the extras, Munster went in 14-10 ahead much to the delight of the vocal home crowd. As Munster dominated possession in the third quarter, Murray exploited a penalty advantage to hoist a crosskick which O'Donnell fielded to score on 52 minutes and the bonus point was bagged four minutes later as man of the match Stander finished off a line-out maul. With Munster's job done, Leinster's replacement hooker Strauss ran in a late try but it had no material effect on the game as the visitors headed back to Dublin empty-handed. Leinster coach Leo Cullen: "A key moment was just before half-time after we had been defending so, so well, when they got in for the injury-time try. That was disappointing because it knocked the stuffing out of us. "We then coughed up possession quite cheaply at the start of the second half and Munster got their driving game going and were clinical." Munster director of rugby Rassie Erasmus: "They were missing some of their international players but it was still one of the toughest physically intense games that we've played, so to come away with a win is very satisfying. "It wasn't a perfect performance but the intensity was almost like a test match."

Mr Sumner is charged with attempted murder, six counts of assault by beating, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, two counts of making threats to kill, affray, threatening a person with a blade in a public place and production of cannabis. However, North Yorkshire Police said it had passed a "piece of intelligence" to Wiltshire Police, the force leading inquiries into the former prime minister. The force added the intelligence was "not connected to the North Yorkshire area". Wiltshire Police said it "wouldn't discuss any intelligence passed to us". North Yorkshire Police launched the search of its records earlier this month following allegations of child sex abuse levelled against Sir Edward, who was Conservative prime minister between 1970 and 1974. It conducted the investigation after a photograph emerged of the late politician meeting ex-Scarborough mayor and suspected paedophile Peter Jaconelli, who was a close friend of Jimmy Savile. Last year North Yorkshire Police said opportunities to prosecute Savile and Jaconelli over claims of historical sex abuse of children in the resort had been missed. Savile died in 2011 and Jaconelli, who ran an ice cream company in the resort, died in 1999. In a statement, North Yorkshire Police said: "Following a comprehensive search of force systems, North Yorkshire Police can confirm that nothing was found to designate Edward Heath as either a suspect or a victim of crime in North Yorkshire." Former friends and colleagues of Sir Edward have rallied to defend his reputation in the wake of the allegations. The former MP died at his home in Salisbury aged 89 in July 2005. Legal challenges failed to prevent the release. The victim's parents were among those detained later at a rally. The rapist, who cannot be named as he was a minor at the time of the crime, was sentenced to a maximum three years in a reform facility in August 2013. The rape and the subsequent death of the woman caused global outrage. Although the convict is now an adult, he was tried as a juvenile and has served the full sentence allowed. He has now been handed over to a charity, where he will remain because of fears over his safety. Four adult convicts in the case are appealing against death sentences. A fifth died in prison. Rape victim named by mother Profiles: Delhi attackers How life changed for victim's family Second chance for rapist? The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says the release has been opposed by many people, including the parents of the victim. They were prevented from holding a protest rally in central Delhi earlier on Sunday and when they later joined scores of protesters near India Gate, they were among a number detained by police, who broke up the demonstration. The convict's identity is being changed and no record of his crime will remain in the public domain, a move that has caused more outrage among many in India, our correspondent says. A legal challenge by politician Subramanian Swamy to stop the release failed. A court ruled on the case on Friday, saying: "We agree it is a serious issue. But after 20 December, the juvenile cannot be kept at a special home per law." Late on Saturday, Swati Maliwal, the head of Delhi Commission of Women, filed a petition to the Supreme Court trying to prevent the release. It will hear the case on Monday, but the release went ahead anyway. Rape victims cannot be named under Indian law, but last week the victim's mother, Asha Singh, revealed it at a public rally. After the release on Sunday, she said: "I just want justice, I want a stay on his release." She said the Delhi Commission of Women had filed its petition too late on Saturday. "They might have been able to stop the release if they had tried during the day," the Times of India quoted her as saying. Our correspondent says the laws dealing with sex crimes in India have been strengthened since this case began, but many believe this has not been enough to prevent attacks against women. 16 December 2012: A 23-year-old physiotherapy student is gang-raped by six men on a bus in Delhi, her male friend is beaten up and the pair are thrown out after the brutal assault 17 December: Key accused Ram Singh, the bus driver, is arrested. Over the next few days, his brother Mukesh Singh, gym instructor Vinay Sharma, fruit seller Pawan Gupta, a helper on the bus Akshay Thakur, and the 17-year-old juvenile, who cannot be named, are arrested. 29 December: The victim dies in hospital in Singapore from injuries sustained during the assault; body flown back to Delhi 30 December: Cremated in Delhi under tight police security 11 March 2013: Ram Singh dies in Tihar jail; police say he hanged himself, but defence lawyers and his family allege he was murdered 31 August: The juvenile is found guilty and sentenced to three years in a reform facility 13 September: The four adult defendants are convicted and given the death penalty by the trial court March - June: The convicts appeal in the Supreme Court and the death sentences are put on hold 20 December: Youngest convict released from correctional centre after serving maximum sentence allowed Edward James, 68, was found with hundreds of plants on his land at Bratton Fleming, Barnstaple, Devon. He told police growing the Class B drug was "more profitable than chickens", Exeter Crown Court heard. Recorder Mr Rufus Taylor adjourned the case until 30 July, and ordered pre-sentence reports be prepared by the Probation Service. Sean Brunton, prosecuting, said in light of James' guilty plea to producing cannabis, his not guilty plea to a second charge of possession with intent to supply had been accepted. Gareth Evans, defending, said James is in poor health and has strong personal mitigation. Nine people were arrested after the man was found dead at the hostel in Durham Road, Sparkhill, on Sunday morning. Damien Borowiec, 21, of Durham Road, was charged with his murder on Monday night and appeared at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Birmingham Crown Court on 7 April. Two other people were bailed as inquiries continued. The remainder were released without charge. For more news from Birmingham and the Black Country May Lewis, 96, was killed after falling 20ft (6m) at Pontcanna House Care Home in Cardiff in 2012. Carer Carol Conway, who walked backwards into the lift with Mrs Lewis in a wheelchair, also sustained life-threatening injuries. On Tuesday, Shirwan and Nasik Al-Mufti admitted two serious health and safety breaches at Cardiff Crown Court. The court heard the lift had been locked due to a fault but an emergency key was regularly used by staff to manually open the doors which would override the safety features. Ms Conway had waited for the bell to sound but the platform for the lift had not arrived and the pair fell down two floors. Prosecuting, Cardiff council said both Mr and Mrs Dr Al-Mufti were legally responsible for the safety of their staff and residents. The court was told health and safety fell below the expected standards, that Mr and Mrs Dr Al-Mufti failed to adhere to warnings that the emergency key should not be used and they failed to have adequate risk assessments or training for their staff to use the lift. Deborah Steel, 37, ran the Royal Standard in Ely, Cambridgeshire, and vanished on 28 December 1997. Her body has not been found. The search had the full consent of the present landlord who is not connected with the investigation. Police said further lines of enquiry were being followed in the search for the "truth about the disappearance". A 73-year-old man is on bail until 29 April and two others, aged 70 and 50, have since had theirs cancelled. Ms Steel's disappearance was recently reclassified from a long-term missing person to a murder inquiry by Cambridgeshire Police. Her half-sister, Gini Secker, said reopening the case had given the family hope, but that it was "so very sad" that their father had died without knowing what had happened to Ms Steel. Ladbrokes closed betting after reporting a "very significant move" in favour of the current Bishop of Durham, Justin Welby. William Hill followed suit saying it had cut the odds on Bishop Welby three times in an hour. A panel has been considering who will replace Rowan Williams for months. The Crown Nominations Commission has not set a date to announce his successor, although the decision was expected several weeks ago. Ladbrokes tweeted on Tuesday afternoon that Bishop Welby had become 6/4 joint favourite to be chosen. Less than half an hour later, the bookmaker tweeted: "Very significant move for Justin Welby to be next Archbishop of Canterbury. He's now evens favourite." Several minutes after that, Ladbrokes said betting had been suspended, saying in its tweet: "Money suggests that @Bishopofdurham has got the job." Profiles and Robert Pigott's form sheet Taking the measure of the mitre Profile: Dr Rowan Williams William Hill reported a similar flurry of bets on Bishop Welby, saying it had responded by slashing his odds from 13/8 second favourite, to 4/6 favourite. Graham Sharpe, a spokesman for William Hill, said: "In the space of less than an hour we had to cut the odds three times so took the decision to close the book. "We know a decision is already overdue and it seems word may have leaked out." Bishop Welby has been described by BBC religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott as the "dark horse" of the contest. Better-known candidates include Archbishop of York John Sentamu and Bishop of London Richard Chartres. A former oil industry executive, Justin Welby was installed as Bishop of Durham last year having been Dean of Liverpool since 2007. He is also a member of the parliamentary committee looking into the professional standards and culture of the UK banking sector. Rowan Williams is due to step down as Archbishop of Canterbury in December, after 10 years in the post. Contenders to succeed him also include Bishop of Coventry Christopher Cocksworth, Bishop of Norwich Graham James and Bishop of Liverpool James Jones. The Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes all rallied robustly during the day and closed more than 1% higher. The pre-open future markets forecasted dramatic sell-offs when Donald Trump's lead became clear overnight. Share traders had expected Hillary Clinton to beat Mr Trump to become the next US president. His victory initially sent money flowing into safe haven stocks, gold and currencies including the yen, but as the day has gone on global markets have recovered. The Dow Jones ended the day up by 1.4% at 18,589.69. The S&P 500 was 1.11% higher at 2,163.26 and the Nasdaq was also up by 1.11% at 5,251.07. In London the FTSE 100 index dropped 2% at the start of trading before recovering to end the day 1% up. France's Cac index and Germany's Dax both closed about 1.5% higher after erasing losses of more than 2%. Follow the BBC's live page for more election coverage Business Live: Markets muted after Trump win Five questions on the economy for President Trump President Trump: All hat, now where are the cattle? UK businesses react to Trump's win Some analysts had likened the shock of a Trump victory to the Brexit result earlier this year. However, neither markets nor currencies have swung as wildly as they did after June's EU referendum. The dollar has regained ground it lost earlier. Although it is still down against the pound, it is now up against both the euro and the yen. US stock futures fell dramatically overnight when Mr Trump won key swing states, with traders at one point forecasting the Dow Jones to lose 4% or 800 points. The sell-off hit Asian share markets, leading to them being described as a "sea of red" in early trading, before seeing their losses narrow. Japan's Nikkei 225 finished 5.4% lower, but the Hang Seng in Hong Kong and the Shanghai Composite - which closed later - lost 2.2% and 0.6% respectively. It's been a "risk off" day. Buy into safe haven currencies like the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc (both up today); buy into gold (the ultimate save haven harbour); sell the obvious (the Mexican peso has taken a battering). But, trading volumes are average, the FTSE 100 is calm and there has been no rush to the stock market exit doors. After the turmoil of Brexit, this has not been a "plus, plus, plus" day in terms of volatility. So far, this is Brexit minus. Investors are in wait and see mode. Read more: Trump victory - markets spy an upside Kathleen Brooks, an analyst at City Index, said markets were calming down after the initial shock. "This suggests that a win for President Trump is not yet America's Brexit moment. US Treasuries have reversed earlier gains, and yields are rising." She suggested Mr Trump's acceptance speech, in which he called for the country to unite, helped to settle some of the market jitters. The biggest winners on the FTSE 100 were pharmaceutical firms, defence and mining companies, while banks and retailers were among the losers. "What you're seeing is healthcare companies which had been threatened by some of Hillary Clinton's policies actually recovering quite strongly," Ben Ritchie, senior fund manager at Aberdeen Asset Management, told the BBC. Arms makers stand to gain from Mr Trump's proposals to increase defence spending, analysts said. Gold initially jumped 5% - the biggest one-day rise since after the UK's Brexit vote - before falling back to more modest gains. Meanwhile, concerns about the impact of a Trump presidency on the Mexican economy saw its currency, the peso, fall more than 13% overnight against the dollar to its lowest level in two decades. It has since pulled that back slightly to an 8% loss. Mexico is expected to suffer from a Trump presidency because of his pledges to build a wall along the US border with the country and renegotiate the two nations' trade agreement. Media playback is not supported on this device Peaty, 22, became the first man to dip under 26 seconds, finishing in 25.95s on his way to retaining his World Championship title in Hungary. "I can probably shave about 0.3 off the start. We're looking at very fast territory if we nail all the things we can," he told BBC East Midlands Today. The Loughborough-based swimmer had already retained the 100m title. The reigning Olympic 100m breaststroke champion also took silver in the 100m mixed medley to take his World Championship medal to tally to six - five golds and a silver. "There's always more to come," he said. "Whether that comes in a year, three years or five years I don't know but I am pretty confident it will eventually." Peaty said he surprised himself with his new 50m world record set in the semi-final just a few hours after also breaking the record in the morning heats. He also still has "Project 56" to focus on, his goal of becoming the first man to break the 57-second barrier in the 100m. Peaty said he will not set limits about how fast he can go in either event. "To get 25.9 is outrageous," he added. "I was confident but not that confident. The only person near that is 26.5 and 0.6 seconds over a 50 is a huge amount of time." Before then the former City of Derby swimmer knows it is vital to unwind. "The training regime is hard work day in day out," he added. "It's so important for me to relax now, go on holiday, party and celebrate. It is so important to come back next year with my head straight." Priebke was jailed for life in 1998 for his role in the WWII massacre of 335 Italians at Rome's Ardeatine Caves. But because of his age and poor health, he was allowed to serve his sentence under house arrest in the capital. The move caused anger over what some people in the city regarded as conditions that were far too comfortable and lenient. Priebke was one of the SS officers present during the killing of men and boys at the caves in 1944, in a reprisal attack ordered by Adolf Hitler for the killing of 33 German soldiers in Rome by resistance fighters. He was among the officers who oversaw the operation to round up victims and transport them to a network of caves on the outskirts of the city where they were all shot. Though Priebke admitted his role in the massacre, he never expressed any remorse and maintained he was following orders. In July, an association representing families of some of the victims of the massacre renewed calls for Priebke to "find the courage to ask for forgiveness". He was extradited to Italy in 1994 after he was discovered working as a school teacher in Argentina. He was tracked down by an American journalist working for ABC News and admitted in an interview his role in the massacre. Priebke's lawyer, Paolo Giachini, said on Friday that he had left a final video interview as his "human and political testament", but it was unclear what it contained and when it would be released. Priebke, who had been living in his lawyer's apartment in Rome, was allowed to do his own shopping, go for walks in the park and go out to restaurants in the evening to eat with friends. It said Lula would be heard as a witness and was not being investigated. Police say they want to see if he benefited from the Petrobras scheme. Other members of the governing Workers' Party will be questioned. Prosecutors say firms bribed Petrobras executives to secure contracts. Some of the money was then passed on to Workers' Party politicians. The scandal is the largest in Brazil's history, with top politicians accused of taking bribes. Among those arrested in connection are Mr Lula's former chief of staff Joss Dirceu and the former Workers' Party treasurer Joao Vaccari. But Mr Lula's successor as Brazilian leader, Dilma Rousseff, who chaired Petrobras when much of the corruption is believed to have taken place, has been cleared of involvement. Abdul-Hakim Belhaj claims MI6, which Mr Straw was then responsible for, helped the US kidnap him in Bangkok in 2004 to return him and his wife to Tripoli. The Supreme Court backed a Court of Appeal ruling allowing his action. Mr Straw - among several parties in the case - rejects claims that he had been aware of the rendition. Lawyers for Mr Belhaj, 50, say he is determined to sue unless he receives an apology and a token £1 in damages. Mr Belhaj, a leading opponent of then Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, says he was abducted - along with his pregnant wife, Fatima Boudchar - as he attempted to fly to London to claim UK asylum. After being returned to Libya, he spent six years in jail, while his Moroccan-born wife was released shortly before giving birth. Mr Belhaj - once regarded by Western intelligence services as a terrorism suspect - alleges he was tortured by his Libyan jailers and questioned by British intelligence officers during his detention. The allegations against the UK security services Mr Belhaj said of the court ruling: "I continue to hope justice will one day be done - not just for my family, but in the name of everyone wrongly kidnapped in the war on terror." Ms Boudchar has had four more children in the time since her detention. She said: "I was five months pregnant with my first son, Abdurahim, when the CIA took us... he was born weighing only four pounds. Every time a new life joins our family I remember how afraid I was to lose him. "I want a better world for my kids... I will fight until I see it or until officials admit that what was done to me was wrong." As well as former Labour MP Mr Straw, the case brought by Mr Belhaj is against former senior MI6 official Sir Mark Allen, the UK security services, the Foreign Office and the Home Office. All have denied liability. The government had argued Mr Belhaj and Ms Boudchar could not sue because of a long-standing legal principle that prevents British courts examining the actions of other nations carried out in their own jurisdictions. The Supreme Court ruling said the allegations were so serious they had to be heard before a British court because, if not, they may never be heard anywhere else in the world. In a statement, Mr Straw said: "At no stage so far have the merits of the applicant's case been tested before any court... "As foreign secretary I acted at all times in a manner which was fully consistent with my legal duties, and with national and international law. "I was never in any way complicit in the unlawful rendition or detention of anyone by other states." By Dominic Casciani, home affairs correspondent This is a major blow for the government, which has fought for years to prevent the allegations made by Mr Belhaj and his wife being heard in public. Every other legal battle over alleged British involvement in complicity in rendition has stopped before the actual claims - and the government's defence - have been tested in open court. Ministers paid out millions of pounds in compensation to former Guantanamo Bay detainees to prevent just such material being aired. The legal effects of this judgement go a lot further than the specifics of the Belhaj case. Our highest court has said that even if another state is primarily responsible for the claimed wrongdoing, there's no reason to stop the facts being heard in our courts if there are serious allegations that the UK was somehow involved. Damage to international relations and the potential embarrassment of secret agencies do not trump Magna Carta or English law's ban on torture. Will all the facts be heard? We don't yet know. If the government doesn't want to apologise, it has one last card. It may now apply for the whole case to be heard in secret. And that could mean another legal battle going on for years to come. The damages action is based on documents uncovered in Tripoli following the fall of Colonel Gaddafi in 2011. The papers show MI6 communicated with Libya in 2004 after becoming aware the couple had been deported to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia from China, where they had been living. They were later put on a commercial flight to London but were taken off the aircraft at Bangkok and handed over to the US. In one document, Sir Mark Allen, MI6's then head of counter-terrorism, tells a Libyan official the capture had only been possible because of British intelligence. The government has neither confirmed nor denied whether the documents are genuine. The Court of Appeal ruling said Mr Belhaj's allegations concerned "particularly grave violations of international law and human rights". In its unanimous judgement, seven Supreme Court justices dismissed the government attempts to stop the case going to a High Court trial, saying the Magna Carta was on the side of the couple. Lord Mance said: "English law recognises the existence of fundamental rights, some long-standing, others more recently developed." The Supreme Court also gave the green light to a related but separate case brought by Yunus Rahmatullah, a Pakistani man suspected of links to al-Qaeda, who says the UK illegally handed him over to US forces in Iraq in 2004. A government spokeswoman said it would consider the detail and implications of both rulings but it would be inappropriate to comment further because of the proceedings. Cori Crider, from human rights organisation Reprieve, said: "The government bought years of delay by wasting hundreds of thousands of pounds on this appeal, when a simple apology would have closed the case." Prosecutors last year announced there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone from MI6 with a criminal offence. The watchdog was called in after allegations of a hardline Muslim takeover of schools in Birmingham and has now inspected 21 schools. It put six schools in special measures and said five had not done enough to protect children from extremist ideas. But Park View Educational Trust said Ofsted had found no evidence of a plot. The "Trojan Horse" row began with an anonymous letter, made public in March, alleging that a group of Muslims was attempting to usurp school governing bodies in Birmingham. It has led to investigations by Birmingham City Council, the Department for Education (DfE), the Education Funding Agency and the schools watchdog Ofsted. Ofsted is set to publish its 21 reports at 1400 BST on Monday. The government confirmed that five schools that had previously rated as good or outstanding by Ofsted had now been rated inadequate in the reports. In a statement David Hughes, Park View Educational Trust's vice chairman, confirmed that Park View, Golden Hillock and Nansen had all been placed in special measures by Ofsted - and said it would be challenging the reports. "Ofsted inspectors came to our schools looking for extremism, looking for segregation, looking for proof that our children have religion forced upon them as part of an Islamic plot," he said. "The Ofsted reports found absolutely no evidence of this because this is categorically not what is happening at our schools." He said the school stood as a "beacon of hope against a tide of isolation, poverty, drugs, crime and yes, potential extremism". "Park View is part of the solution, not part of the problem," he said. However, a leaked draft report by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) - which has carried out a parallel investigation - said the Park View trust schools had "taken the Islamic focus too far". It found girls and boys had been segregated in some classes. In other developments: The prime minister is set to ask Ofsted to bring in snap inspections for schools in England following the allegations. Currently, schools can be inspected without notice usually only if they are rated inadequate for behaviour. Last week, Mr Gove was involved in a bitter dispute with Home Secretary Theresa May over the government's response to the Birmingham allegations. Mr Gove apologised to Mr Cameron and counter-terrorism chief Charles Farr after his allies spoke to the Times, accusing the Home Office of failing to "drain the swamp" of extremism. In response, the Home Office released a letter which Home Secretary Theresa May had written to Mr Gove, accusing his department of failing to act when concerns about the Birmingham schools were brought to its attention in 2010. Fiona Cunningham, the home secretary's special adviser, was found to have been the source of a negative briefing against Mr Gove and has now stood down. And now the children's TV show Sesame Street is introducing a new muppet character with a simpler name, and a tougher brief. Julia, a little girl, has orange hair, a toy rabbit - and autism. She will make her Sesame Street TV debut in April on US channels HBO and PBS. The character is already included in digital and printed storybooks. However, bosses want to step up her role. Autism diagnoses have risen steadily in recent years to a rate of one in every 68 US children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But explaining the topic to a young audience is far from straightforward. "The big discussion right at the start was, 'How do we do this? How do we talk about autism?'" Sesame Street writer Christine Ferraro told the CBS News show 60 Minutes. "It's tricky because autism is not one thing, because it is different for every single person who has autism." In her debut episode, Julia will demonstrate some common characteristics. When Big Bird is introduced to her, she ignores him. Confused, Big Bird thinks "that maybe she didn't like me". But the other muppets tell him: "She does things just a little differently." Later, when a group of children are playing tag, Julia starts jumping up and down with excitement. "That's a thing that can be typical of some kids with autism," Ms Ferraro said. Instead of rejecting Julia, the children create a new game in which they all jump around together. Julia's puppeteer, Stacey Gordon, happens to be the mother of an autistic son. She said the creation of an autistic muppet is "huge". "Had my son's friends been exposed to his behaviours through something that they had seen on TV before they experienced them in the classroom, they might not have been frightened," she told 60 Minutes. "They might not have been worried when he cried. They would have known that he plays in a different way, and that that's OK." At this point it's not known if Julia will become a major character on the show, but Ms Ferraro - who has been writing it for 25 years - is keen. "I would love her to be not Julia, the kid on Sesame Street who has autism," she said. "I would like her to be just Julia." Though India made it a point to focus on terrorism and managed to underscore "the need for close coordination on tracking sources of terrorist financing and target the hardware of terrorism, including weapons' supplies, ammunition, equipment and training," it could not convince China to change its stance on Masood Azhar, leader of the Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed. The group has been blamed for attacks on Indian soil in the past, including the 2001 parliament attack in Delhi that took the nuclear-armed rivals to the brink of war. China has twice this year blocked India's effort to get Masood Azhar declared a UN-designated global terrorist, despite Jaish being a UN-proscribed terror group. Sino-Indian ties have been going downhill for the last few years and the future of Brics remains tentative at best because of this growing divergence. But it was the other bilateral relationship- the one between India and Russia - that was the focus of the Goa summit. China backs Brics' long term prospects India and Russia to sign air defence deal Where Sino-Indian bilateral engagement was perfunctory at best, the India-Russia relationship was given a big boost with Delhi reaffirming ties with its long-standing strategic partner. India's ties with Russia have seen turbulence in recent weeks. Despite India's opposition to Russia conducting its first ever join military exercise with Pakistan, especially at a time when Indian troops were also participating in bilateral military exercises in Russia, Moscow went ahead, raising concerns in Delhi about the future trajectory of Russian foreign policy. Many believe that Moscow, for its part, has been obsessed with challenging the US and sees the growing US-India partnership as a threat. At a time when America's ties with Pakistan are seen to be deteriorating, Moscow has agreed to sell Islamabad four Mi-35 attack helicopters and build a $2bn (£1.64bn) natural gas pipeline there. During the Brics summit, India sought to re-engage Russia more substantively. The two countries signed a swathe of defence deals, including a multi-billion dollar agreement for the delivery of a long range advanced air defence system to Delhi. The Russian and Indian leaders also took part in a ceremony to lay the foundation for the third and fourth power units of India's Kudankulam nuclear power plant. On the energy front, the two sides announced their biggest agreement, where a group led by Russian state-controlled oil giant Rosneft said it would pay $13bn for a controlling stake in both India's Essar Oil and the port facilities that it owns. And to allay Indian concerns, Russian officials made it clear that Moscow has not signed any contracts and has no plans to sign any military-related deals with Pakistan. The two states also reiterated their common opposition to terrorism. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlined "Russia's clear stand on the need to combat terrorism mirrors our own." "We deeply appreciate Russia's understanding and support of our actions to fight cross-border terrorism that threatens our entire region. We both affirmed the need for zero tolerance in dealing with terrorists and their supporters," he said. For an estimated $100bn upgrade of its mostly Soviet-era military equipment, Delhi has been looking largely at the West for cutting-edge technologies. Though there has been dissatisfaction in sections of the Indian military and policy-makers at the manner in which Moscow has handled its defence contracts in recent years, there is a recognition of the need to have strong ties with Russia as it has been one of the few states willing to share 'strategic technologies' with India including aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. Russia under President Putin is determined to position itself as a major global player and is enhancing its ties with China to gain leverage in its ties with the West. Similarly, in South Asia, Russia wants to reposition itself if only to caution India of cosying up to Washington at its expense. Delhi too is reimagining its foreign policy priorities under Mr Modi. For the prime minister, strong Indo-Russian ties go a long way in blunting his domestic critics who see a pro-US tilt in his foreign policy. During his joint press conference with the Russian President Mr Modi said in Russian, "stariya droog luchhey novikh dhwukh (an old friend is better than two new ones)." This remark was aimed at both Russia which has been giving a fresh look to its ties with Pakistan as well as at those who have been questioning his commitment to India's old partners like Russia. As of now, India and Russia have succeeded in re-establishing "the special and privileged nature" of their strategic partnership. But whether this would be enough to sustain the Cold War era strength of this bilateral partnership remains to be seen.

Crockett, 32, started out with Bath in 2001 where he played in a Heineken Cup semi-final and won a European Challenge Cup winners' medal in 2008. He ended a 10-year stay at the Rec with a move to Worcester in 2010, before moving to the Falcons in 2012. "I was starting to struggle to get by week to week," Crockett told the Rugby Players Association website. "I think in the end it came down to an accumulation of picking up a lot of injuries throughout my career. "When you feel like you can't contribute, it's probably time to call it a day." Crockett only made one appearance from the replacements' bench for the Falcons this season. UKIP immigration spokesman Steven Wolfe also wants to strip terrorists of their passports, and deny entry to asylum seekers without ID documents. He told the UKIP conference he also wants to boost the number of frontline border staff and search teams by 2,500. The UKIP policy updates came as the government announced plans to give the Home Office control of passports. Mr Woolfe said UKIP would bring in a "priority entry" for Britons, with a separate queue for the rest of the world, including European Union citizens. He added that a failed electronic entry system - e-borders - highlighted the coalition's "incompetence" on border controls. Referring to a payout made to Raytheon, a US defence giant fired from the e-borders contract by the Home Office over alleged poor performance, Mr Woolfe said the blunder had cost "a quarter of a billion pounds in compensation". He said: "If the government can find the technology to listen to all our phone calls, it must be technically possible to know who's coming into this country or not." UKIP also wants to strip terrorists of their passports, echoing controversial government plans. Mr Woolfe said: "UKIP will remove the passports of any person, who has gone to fight for a terrorist organisation, and anyone who came here and was granted, and lucky enough, to have such a passport, and carry out terrorist activities, you will also lose it, because there are lots of people who want that passport." In addition, he said illegal immigration was "a scourge on the people that need help, and it's a boon for terrorists and mafia gangs". UKIP would support the abolition of a treaty that says asylum seekers have to remain in the first European country they enter. "UKIP will support the measures to abolish the provisions of the Dublin Treaty, that says that we cannot choose to identify the country an illegal migrant comes from if they do not have any identifying documents. We will send you back." The UK's border force would also be boosted by 2,500, under the plans. "They are the ones who have to spot terrorists and drug dealers among the tens of millions of people who come to our countries each year," Mr Wolfe said. "They are our first line of defence of the homeland, and for too long they have been ignored and put under pressure by successive governments." UKIP added that it will give armed forces personnel who have served for a minimum of 12 years the option of joining the border force or the police when they leave military service.

Ruddington Parish Council faced some opposition when it decided to install dog poo bag dispensers around the Nottinghamshire village. Now, some of the bags disappear almost as soon as they are restocked. It is costing the council hundreds of pounds a year, so it has decided to remove some of the dispensers. Nick Tegerdine, chairman of the council's environment and policy committee, said: "I really do worry what it is all about. "There's a militant fringe of dog walkers in Ruddington who take the view that their dog can go wherever it likes and do whatever it likes, and I did get some opposition when we first proposed putting these dispensers in." Other theories are that people are stealing them to use as nappy sacks, or taking dozens at a time and stockpiling them. "What's happened is that certain dispensers are emptied systematically almost as soon as they are full," said the councillor. "You're certainly barking if that's the attitude you take." Like many areas, Ruddington has had an ongoing problem with dog poo not being cleaned up. Last year, the council handed out chalk and asked residents to draw sad faces on the pavement next to dog mess to encourage owners to clean up. Mr Obama said the memory of 6 August 1945 must never fade, but did not apologise for the US attack - the world's first nuclear bombing. Mr Obama spoke to two survivors and in an address called on nations to pursue a world without nuclear weapons. At least 140,000 people died in Hiroshima and another 74,000 three days later in a second bombing in Nagasaki. Mr Obama first visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum before walking to the Peace Memorial Park, accompanied by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Both men stood in front of the eternal flame. Mr Obama laid a wreath first, followed by Mr Abe. "Death fell from the sky and the world was changed," Mr Obama said in his address, noting that the bombing had shown that "mankind possessed the means to destroy itself". Mr Obama said the memory of Hiroshima must never fade: "It allows us to fight complacencies, fuels our moral imagination and allows us to change." Of nuclear weapons, he said: "We must have the courage to escape the logic of fear and pursue a world without them." Mr Obama then spoke to two survivors, hugging 79-year-old Shigeaki Mori. "The president gestured as if he was going to give me a hug, so we hugged," Mr Mori said. Mr Obama also talked to Sunao Tsuboi, 91. The image of President Obama hugging a survivor will resonate deeply with the Japanese public. Opinion polls show that the majority of people welcome this visit and most, it seems, do not mind either about the absence of an apology. The deep symbolism is enough; the leader of the only country ever to have used an atomic weapon laying a wreath in a city that has become a monument to the perils of our nuclear age. But others will point out that, while his speech was long on lofty idealism, he remains the commander in chief of one of the world's largest nuclear arsenals, one that he has approved billions of dollars to modernise. Standing just a few rows away from the president, as he always does, an officer could be seen holding the briefcase containing the nuclear launch codes. Mr Obama had earlier flown into the nearby Iwakuni Marine Corp base nearby, after leaving the G7 summit. Mr Obama told service personnel at the base: "This is an opportunity to honour the memory of all who were lost during World War Two." Mr Obama praised the US-Japan alliance as "one of the strongest in the world", with his visit "a testament to how even the most painful divides can be bridged - how our two nations, former adversaries, cannot just become partners, but become the best of friends and the strongest of allies". Many in the US believe the use of the nuclear bomb, though devastating, was right, because it forced Japan to surrender, bringing an end to World War Two. The daughter of one survivor, who was visiting the memorial on Friday, said the suffering had "carried on over the generations". "That is what I want President Obama to know," Han Jeong-soon, 58, told the Associated Press news agency. "I want him to understand our sufferings." Seiki Sato, whose father was orphaned by the bomb, told the New York Times: "We Japanese did terrible, terrible things all over Asia. That is true. And we Japanese should say we are sorry because we are so ashamed, and we have not apologised sincerely to all these Asian countries. But the dropping of the atomic bomb was completely evil." China responded to the visit by saying that Japan's six-week attack on the Chinese city of Nanjing, which began in December 1937, was more worthy of reflection. The Chinese say 300,000 people were killed, although other sources say the figure was lower. "Victims deserve sympathy, but perpetrators should never shirk their responsibility," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said. The Chugoku Shimbun urges Mr Obama to "hear the voices of Hiroshima". "The people of Hiroshima will be watching the president closely, eyeing to what extent he is truly resolved to advance the abolition of nuclear arms," it said. The Asahi Shimbun carries an article saying Mr Obama's "gestures will shape the visit", with the "most powerful gesture" being to "just listen to the bomb victims' memories of suffering and activism". The Japan Times says: "To truly pay homage to those whose lives were lost or irrevocably altered by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, Obama's visit must galvanise the international community to move without delay toward a world free of nuclear weapons. The fact that these weapons have not been used over the past 70 years does not guarantee a risk-free future for our children."

Like modern South Africa, they have officially entered adulthood. On 27 April 2012, the country marked the 18th anniversary of the first multi-racial elections that heralded the birth of the "rainbow nation". These teenagers or "born frees" are now able to vote for the first time. South Africa is not only one of the most diverse countries in the world, it is also one of the most unequal societies. Poverty co-exists with great affluence and inequalities correlate with race. According to the South African Institute of Race Relations, white per capita personal income is nearly eight times higher than that of black South Africans. President Jacob Zuma recently sparked a debate when he called for greater state involvement in mining and land ownership to address inequalities inherited from apartheid - which he said pose a "grave threat" to Africa's biggest economy. Nobel peace laureate and former South African president FW de Klerk waded into the debate warning of new racism in South Africa. He said the governing African National Congress's rhetoric was increasingly becoming hostile to white South Africans. "The Mandela and Mbeki era of reconciliation is over," he said. "White males are quite unjustly blamed for the continuing triple crisis of unemployment, inequality and poverty." According to Mr de Klerk the ANC is using racism as a "smokescreen" to hide its failures. The shooting last week by the police, of more than 30 striking mine workers in Marikana, has highlighted the growing frustration by South Africa's workers with poverty, unemployment and inequality. So has the country truly reconciled? Can reconciliation be achieved without tackling inequality? Are the country's affirmative action programmes achieving their objectives? What about the "born frees" - what is their experience growing up in the new South Africa? These are some of the questions BBC Africa Debate will be exploring in its next edition to be recorded and broadcast from Johannesburg South Africa on 31st August 2012. You can join the debate via Twitter using #bbcafricadebate or @bbcafrica on Facebook and Google+ Stuart Hutchings, 22, from Southfields, Northampton, suffered serious head injuries in a collision in the Kingsthorpe area 10 days ago. He was taken to University Hospital, Coventry but died of his injuries on Wednesday. Craig Turner, 25, and David Barnes, 28, both from Daventry, will appear at Northampton Crown Court on 30 May. The collision happened in Eastern Avenue North, close to the junction with Eastern Close in Kingsthorpe, at about 20:30 BST on 18 May. The improvements at Inveramsay Bridge, near Pitcaple in Aberdeenshire, mean traffic will no longer bottleneck at a set of lights at a railway bridge. The new bridge takes the A96 over the Aberdeen to Inverness railway line. Transport Minister Derek MacKay said the upgraded section of road would bring an end to years of delays and frustration for motorists. The A96 links Aberdeen with Inverness. The government confirmed a list of eight sites it deems suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites. The sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey. The announcement comes three months after the Fukushima disaster in Japan. The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question after the disaster which occurred in March when a Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant. The proposals for new UK nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which have been published following a public consultation. The plans will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument. Energy Minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy. "This will require over £100bn worth of investment in electricity generation alone. This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade." Mr Hendry said industry "needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments," adding that the plans "set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups". Andreas Speck from Stop New Nuclear - an alliance of eight groups opposed to the plants - said campaigners had expected the government to go ahead with its plans despite Fukushima. "It was always clear," he said. But Mr Speck said Stop New Nuclear would continue to oppose the plants "more than ever" and would blockade the Hinkley Point site on 3 October. EDF Energy has already submitted planning applications to the West Somerset District Council for preparatory work on the planned new reactor at the site. If EDF could be made to abandon its plans at Hinkley, the alliance hoped work at the other proposed sites would also be stopped, Mr Speck said. "We believe the nuclear programme is not safe - and Fukushima is the latest example of that - but it's also not needed," he said. Mr Speck said power could be generated without the use of nuclear energy, which he said was expensive and provided too few carbon reductions. EDF Energy said the government's announcement was a key step in the planning process "for all types of energy infrastructure". "These steps are important as we and our partner Centrica progress plans for new build at Hinkley Point and Sizewell. As we do so, safety is our number one priority," the company said in a statement. "In turn, that will drive growth in jobs, rejuvenate the UK supply chain and help drive economic recovery," it added. Friends of the Earth said the UK's energy needs could be met through "clean renewable power". "After five decades of nuclear power the industry still needs huge public subsidy, while solar is set to operate without taxpayer support within a decade - even in cloudy Britain," spokesman Simon Bullock said. "The government is obsessed with putting a new nuclear millstone around Britain's neck." The issue of nuclear power divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered government together. The coalition deal allowed a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue. However, Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors. He stressed that they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer, although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy. The new reactors are designed to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions. The 20-year-old's 102, which came in 148 balls and contained 18 fours, helped the hosts recover from 139-4. Wayne Madsen (54) and Billy Godleman (79 not out) provided support as Durham seamers Matty Potts (3-65) and Barry McCarthy (3-87) chipped away. But Godleman put on an unbeaten 66 with last man Gurjit Sandhu (36 not out) to frustrate Durham and make it to stumps. Having won the toss and elected to bat, Derbyshire lost early wickets, with Luis Reece, Ben Slater and Alex Hughes all falling to leave them 74-3. Critchley and Godleman then put on 99 for the fifth wicket before the Derbyshire skipper and Sandhu held up Durham's charge of five wickets for 28 runs with a valuable 18.4-over partnership which sees Sandhu begin day two on a first-class top score. She is accused of communicating with a person in so-called Islamic State, possessing a flight booking to Istanbul with the intention to travel to Syria, and self-radicalising. The offences allegedly occurred between 1 January 2016 and 31 March 2017. She was arrested in central London and appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, police said. The girl was remanded in custody until Friday 28 April when she will appear at the Old Bailey. It follows an investigation by officers from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command. A 20-year-old woman was also arrested as part of the investigation and but was later released with no further action. Both were arrested at the same address on 21 August 2016. Emergency services were first called out on Sunday night, and efforts to trace 41-year-old Bryan Cowie have continued since then. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Nith Inshore Rescue rejoined the operation overnight between Wednesday and Thursday. Police divers have now returned to the area to assist with the search. A helicopter is also expected to help with efforts to find Mr Cowie. Connolly, 24, has signed a two-year deal and returns to the club where he spent two seasons between 2012-14 before he moved to Kilmarnock. "He's a warrior and a good defender who can play centrally or right back," said head coach Dermot Drummy. London-born Tursun, 23, has spent the last two seasons at Turkish Premier League side Alanyaspor. The right-back has agreed a one-year contract. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The 22-year-old moved to the Tykes from Brentford in June 2015, and had also been linked with Sunderland. He scored seven goals to help Barnsley win the 2015-16 League One play-offs and Football League Trophy. In Swansea's statement announcing the deal, they described Mawson as "one of the most gifted young defenders in the Football League". The player, who was at Maidenhead United in the Conference South less than three years ago, told the club's website: "The last couple of seasons have been mad for me but I have enjoyed it. "I have had some ups and some downs, but ultimately it's led me to signing for Swansea so I am not complaining. "Coming here is a fantastic opportunity for me. Two-and-a-half or three years ago I was playing in the Conference. "It's a big leap, a big step up for me, even from the Championship, but it's an opportunity I am going to try to grab with both hands."

John O'Dowd has agreed to open Coláiste Dhoire, a grant-aided post-primary school in Dungiven, County Londonderry. The Ulster Unionist Party said he took the decision in spite of official advice from several education bodies. Mr O'Dowd's Sinn Féin party disputes the UUP's account. The issue is due to be debated in the assembly later. The debate has been called by the UUP's education spokesperson, Danny Kinahan, who questioned the decision to proceed with the project at a time of budget cuts. Mr Kinahan said the objections were not an "anti-Irish language campaign" by unionists, but a "value for money campaign". The UUP MLA said Mr O'Dowd had approved the new school "contrary to official advice from the Western Education and Library Board, the North Eastern Education and Library Board, the Education and Training Inspectorate, the ministerial advisory group on Irish medium education and his own department". Mr Kinahan has proposed an assembly motion calling on Mr O'Dowd and all other minister in the Northern Ireland Executive to review the decision "on the grounds of rationality, affordability and sustainability". However, Sinn Féin MLA Cathal Ó hOisín took issue with the UUP's remarks. "Those opposed to the development of Coláiste Dhoire have wrongly claimed the Western and Eastern education and library boards are against the plans which is not the case," Mr Ó hOisín said. "Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta, the body with responsibility for Irish language provision is fully supportive of the development of Coláiste Dhoire. "Sinn Féin has consistently supported Coláiste Dhoire and the provision of Irish medium education and we will continue to do so by opposing this motion." Lottery organisers Camelot said the window for claiming the Euromillions winnings closed at 23:00 BST on Sunday. Camelot said unclaimed money would be added to the money in the National Lottery Good Causes fund. Leicester's lord mayor Abdul Osman started a countdown timer to the deadline near the Haymarket clock tower last week but the prize went unclaimed. A spokesman for Camelot said: "Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this substantial amount of money. "I would urge all National Lottery players to check their tickets on a regular basis." Jane Beard and Michael Birch, and daughters, Trudie, 28, and Ellen, 23, were evicted by Gloucester City Council for anti-social behaviour. Michael, Ellen and Trudie Birch could face jail after breaching injunctions. The family is now in temporary housing in Stroud after refusing other offers of accommodation, the council said. The Birch family's situation was highlighted in the local and national media with them being involved in more than 300 incidents of anti-social behaviour. Jane Beard, 53, and her partner Michael Birch, 69, are both in poor health and use wheelchairs. The family were evicted from their home in Russell Street, Gloucester in December after living there since August. They said they then "squatted in buildings and in doorways" until earlier last month. When the temperature fell below freezing in January, the council put the parents up for six days in the Dorchester House B&B in the city, while Trudie and Ellen slept rough and squatted in a nearby disused building. B&B manager Lynn Horsley said Ms Beard and Mr Birch were "very polite" and "always washed the plates up". "I felt bad [when they had to leave] because they are human beings, you don't treat people like that," she said. "She's ill and he's got double pneumonia. If they're going to be out and the weather keeps coming in, you're going to have two dead people." Ms Beard, who also has diabetes, said she had "had enough" and blamed the council for "doing nothing". She said: "I'm so angry. We're being pulled from pillar to post. We're human - not caged animals. Everybody has their ups and downs. "My girls shout, because Trudie is partly deaf and Ellen is a vulnerable adult, she shouts too [which led to complaints about noise]. "[I'm worried] about my daughters because they are so vulnerable. "And worried Michael will die - he's been told this." But former neighbour Claire Tonks, said it was "fabulous" the family no longer lived next door as she would not have to tolerate them "feeding seagulls through the windows". She said; "The smell from the house was horrendous, you could smell urine, faeces. You couldn't have windows or doors open because of the smell and the noise. "We reported them about 40 to 60 times but that doesn't include all the minor things". A Gloucestershire County Council spokesman said offers of accommodation had been made previously to the family which they had refused. "We have been working together to look at potential solutions. Families often present themselves to us with a variety of challenges and difficulties," he said. "We, along with our partner agencies have responsibilities to all those we come in contact with, no matter what the circumstances." Gloucester City Homes said the family had been referred to numerous support services and agencies "over many years". "However [they] have failed to engage with each. Many opportunities have been provided to help them change their behaviour." Michael, Ellen and Trudie Birch are due to appear for sentencing at Gloucester County Court on Wednesday for breaching anti-social behaviour injunctions, which have been in place since last October. Inside Out West is on BBC One in the west region at 20:30 GMT, and then available on the BBC iPlayer for 28 days. The sites are three of 56 across the UK that will be sold as part of a long-term strategy to reduce costs and improve efficiency. The sites are in County Down - Abercorn Barracks, Ballykinler; Kinnegar Logistics Base, Holywood; and Volunteer Gliding School at Newtownards Airfield. The move was announced by Sir Michael Fallon, the defence secretary. Sir Michael said it would deliver better value for money and release enough land to build 55,000 homes. It is estimated that about £140m will be saved over the next decade by selling off the sites, which Sir Michael said would be reinvested in creating "areas of military expertise" in locations across the country. However, Strangford MP Jim Shannon described the moves as "backwards" and "illogical". The MoD previously said it is considering knocking down the 200 houses at Abercorn Barracks. "It would be a rather backwards step because I think they should be retaining the accommodation for use as social housing," he said. He added that it appeared that the Kinnegar base would move to Palace Barracks nearby and it was "unconfirmed" as to whether any jobs would be lost because of the move. He said the decision to sell two hangars at Newtownards Airfield was an "unbelievable step". "There is no potential for housing to be built at this site. The decision hasn't been thought out clearly, particularly as we recently got funding for the air cadets." Although this girl went to the same school in Chibok, she was abducted in a separate incident, Femi Adesina said. The 15-year-old girl was found by government troops while she was escaping. Boko Haram has captured thousands of people in north-eastern Nigeria. The abduction of the 276 Chibok girls is the most high-profile case but many others have never had any media attention or support, aid organisations say. Three years since the abduction, 113 Chibok girls remain in captivity. A total of 103 of the girls have been released so far, including 82 earlier this month in a prisoner swap. The 82 girls, who met Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on 7 May, are expected to be reunited with their families later this week. They are believed to have been swapped for five Boko Haram commanders. Last month, President Buhari said the government remained "in constant touch through negotiations, through local intelligence, to secure the release of the remaining girls and other abducted persons unharmed". Aside from the Chibok girls, Boko Haram has kidnapped thousands of other people during its eight-year insurgency, which is aimed at creating an Islamic caliphate in north-eastern Nigeria. The government says more than 30,000 people have been killed, and hundreds of thousands forced to flee their homes. Aid agencies are warning of a famine in the area, as people have not been able to farm for several years. Media playback is not supported on this device Taylor, who enjoyed success with Watford, Wolves, Aston Villa and Lincoln City, died aged 72 on Thursday. A minute's applause will be held before the weekend's English Football League matches. Watford, whom he managed for 15 years over two spells, will commemorate Taylor before their game against Middlesbrough on Saturday. The EFL said it was also giving clubs the option of letting their players wear black armbands during this weekend's fixtures. The Premier League will leave the decision of whether to pay tribute to individual clubs. Its executive chairman Richard Scudamore said Taylor's "insight, wit and self-deprecating humour" would be missed. "You will struggle to find a more decent individual in football - one who cared passionately about all levels and aspects of the English game," he said. Meanwhile, Watford supporters have been laying tributes to Taylor outside their stadium, where a stand is named after their former manager, chairman and, more recently, honorary vice-president. As a club manager, Taylor led Watford from the Fourth Division to runners-up in the old First Division in five years, and to the 1984 FA Cup final. He took Aston Villa to second in the First Division, returning to Watford and Villa after his spell in charge of the national side, and also managing Wolves. Wolves meet Aston Villa in a Championship game at Molineux on Saturday. Taylor became England boss in 1990 but resigned in 1993 after the team failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup. He later became a respected pundit for BBC Sport. He leaves behind his wife Rita and daughters Joanne and Karen. Media playback is not supported on this device In the aftermath of the news of Taylor's death, emotional tributes poured in from the football community. BBC Radio 5 live hosted a tribute show in Taylor's honour, in which his colleagues and peers spoke about the effect he had on their lives. Former England captain Alan Shearer, who was given his national team debut by Taylor, said he held him in the "highest, highest regard". "The biggest and best compliment I can give him is he was genuine, honest, passionate and down to earth," he said. "Most of all, he just absolutely loved his football. He was so genuine, so honest and his passion for the game was just immense." Burnley manager Sean Dyche - whose first managerial position was at Watford, where Taylor offered him guidance, said he would be "forever in his debt". "He had an extremely thick skin, and he showed that by defending me on the radio when I was a young manager as well. Things like that mean a lot," he said. "To have that strength behind me when I was a young manager meant a lot." John Murray, a football commentator for 5 live who worked with him during his time as a pundit and summariser, said that Taylor was "everything I had hoped before I met him". "He was steeped in football - he was brilliant at being interested in other people and would always want to talk about football," he said. "I'd describe him as one of the football managers of our time. His club career was outstanding." Media playback is not supported on this device Fans have been paying tribute to Taylor too, with thousands of people using social media to share their stories of the former England manager: Robert Howard: I spent a train journey from Hemel Hempstead to Euston sitting talking to Graham. We spoke about football old and new. Kids, football and life in general. He was friendly, open and a very nice man. I am glad I met him. Alan Jones: I refereed a youth team match between Portsmouth and Watford. On the same afternoon, Watford's first team were due to play Bournemouth, so they stopped at Eastleigh to watch the youth match on their way there. Graham came into the dressing room afterwards and thanked me for the game, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He looked at the towel around my waist and asked me to get a new one, as he did not like orange. He was a very charming and supportive ambassador for football. RIP. Dave Revell: Met Graham Taylor at a charity day for Kit Aid. Had so much time for people and was always so nice. One of England's better managers. Will Room: I remember seeing a clip of Taylor in the dugout during a match, and some fans behind him shouting out racial abuse to John Barnes and he went hell for leather against them - didn't hold back telling the fans to sit down and shut up basically. Back then it was probably normal for fans to think they could get away with stuff like that but Graham Taylor was definitely a decent man and respected everyone who played for him. Top bloke. Taylor started out as a player and, after coming through the youth ranks with Scunthorpe, was a defender at Grimsby and Lincoln. He became manager at Lincoln in 1972 aged 28, and led them to the old Fourth Division title in 1975-76 before joining Watford. In his first spell as Hornets boss between 1977 and 1987, Taylor took the club to the top flight and they finished second to Liverpool in 1983. He was appointed by Villa in 1987 and, after leading them to promotion into the top tier, took them to second in 1990. His exploits led to his appointment as England manager, but he had a turbulent spell in charge of the national team as they failed to make it out of the group at Euro 92 and did not qualify for the World Cup in the United States two years later. Taylor's return to club management came with a relatively brief stint at Wolves before he again took over at Watford, leading them to two promotions in as many years as he guided them back into English football's top flight. He also returned to manage Villa in 2002 but retired a year later. His association with Watford continued when he became chairman in 2009, a post he held for three years, and the club renamed their Rous Stand at Vicarage Road after Taylor in 2014. "In this day and age, when a stand is named after somebody, it's for commercial reasons. I felt honoured," he told BBC Three Counties Radio at the time. Rape Crisis Scotland is calling for specialist facilities to be made available in Orkney and Shetland. Support workers say it would spare victims the ordeal of travelling by boat or plane under police escort. The Scottish government said forensic facilities were being reviewed. Rape Crisis Scotland said the lack of forensic examination facilities in Orkney or Shetland was adding to the trauma women had already suffered. In a statement it said: "They are advised not to wash, drink or eat before they are examined (as evidence may be lost) before they are taken with a police escort on a passenger flight or ferry to Aberdeen. "This is a completely unacceptable situation - often, the first thing people want to do after being raped is wash, and the length of delay of having to travel without being able to wash can make an already traumatic situation even worse." The charity said it was also getting feedback from women about how difficult they find having a male examiner, which is the case in about half of examinations conducted in police stations. "The very least we should be able to offer survivors in more remote situations is sensitive services that are appropriate without having to travel to the mainland," it said. Shetland Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott said action was essential. Mr Scott said: "We want to make it as easy as possible to have a successful prosecution in a potential rape trial based on evidence. "Having a forensic facility on the islands is essential for rape survivors and women who have been sexually assaulted. "The reality of having to get a plane or ferry down to Aberdeen in the most horrible of circumstances must be a barrier to anyone thinking of reporting a sexual assault to the police." The Scottish government said it was committed to tackling the "heinous crime" of rape and supporting victims to ensure they are treated with sensitivity when reporting a crime. A spokeswoman said: "We are taking bold steps to improve the way the justice system responds to sexual crimes and we have committed to reviewing the way forensic examinations are undertaken to ensure they are done sensitively and appropriately. "We have provided an additional £1.85m for Rape Crisis Scotland to enhance awareness and the specialist support available for survivors of sexual violence. "We have also committed resources to NHS Scotland to look at forensic examination services currently being provided for victims across the country and tell us where improvements and change is required." A dedicated service to support people who been victims of rape or sexual abuse. was launched in Orkney for the first time last year. Orkney Rape Crisis provides support, information and therapeutic help. Five pairs of tickets and "experiences" such as a tour of the festival grounds with the festival founder Michael Eavis are being auctioned. This year's festival has also donated ponchos and 500 pairs of discarded wellington boots to migrants in Calais. The auction is taking place at the Oxfam online shop. Festival co-organiser Emily Eavis said: "The plight of refugees who have left their homes due to fear and aggression has moved everyone in the Glastonbury Festival team and we want to do something to help. "We hope this auction will raise many thousands of pounds so that Oxfam, which has been a trusted partner of Glastonbury for many years, can deliver the support these people so desperately need." The eBay auction will run until Tuesday 13 October. The 69-year-old pedestrian, from Abergele, died at the scene of the crash at the junction of Water Street and Bridge Street in the town. A lorry and two cars were involved in the crash at 15:20 GMT on Thursday. Paying tribute, Mrs Blythin's family described her as "full of life and a real character, generous, kind and proud". The family's statement said: "We are devastated by the loss of Hilda - a much loved wife, mother and nain. "She was an inspiration to many people and adored her family. She will be missed by us all." Sgt Jason Diamond, of North Wales Police, said the family was being offered support. The road was closed for several hours following the crash. It's one of about a dozen warships and civilian vessels trying to tackle the human tide of thousands of people leaving Africa for Europe. It's no easy task. They're having to cover an area of around 70,000 square miles, trying to spot the small boats crammed with desperate people hoping to be rescued and taken to a safer world. Bulwark was already sailing towards the Libyan coast when we flew on board by Merlin helicopters. Over the past month she's already rescued almost 1,800 people. The helicopters have helped spot thousands more, directing other ships to help. And as soon as we landed there were reports of another 3,000 migrants leaving Libya's shores in 14 boats. The figures are staggering, as is the scale of the problem. More than 43,000 people have already crossed the Mediterranean this year - that's a 50% increase on the numbers for last year. There are an estimated half a million people now in Libya waiting to make the same crossing. The officer in charge of the British contribution to this search and rescue mission, Commodore Martin Connell, says it's "tragic". It is, he says, "the most grim situation you could possibly find. Most of these boats won't make it". They're picking up people in inflatable dinghies and rotting wooden vessels that often don't even have an engine. The human traffickers responsible for this trade in human misery often just leave the people who've paid them hundreds of dollars to drift in the ocean. "If I could get my hands on some of these smugglers" he says, before pausing and adding simply: "they don't have much regard for human life." On Saturday afternoon the defence secretary also flew out to Bulwark to get a briefing from the commodore and to thank him and the crew for their work. But even Michael Fallon admitted to me that this was like putting sticking plaster on a massive problem. He said European countries needed to work together to tackle the root cause - the criminal gangs that trade on human misery - and try to bring stability to countries in chaos. Not just Libya from where most of these migrants leave, but also their countries of origin across east and West Africa. Mr Fallon is giving little detail about how that can be achieved, other than insisting it won't involve putting "British boots" on the ground. But there is, so far, little sign of reaching a consensus. While Britain is helping rescue the migrants, it's not offering them asylum. Some EU nations want to share the burden of resettling refugees, but the UK is one of a number of countries resisting that move. Over a nine-hour period on Saturday, European warships and coastguard vessels rescued another 3,000 migrants. Commodore Martin Connell says he can't remember "so many vessels rescuing so many people in such a short time". In the morning Bulwark will launch her helicopters and landing craft in the expectation that they will be taking on more desperate people. Dudley, 25, is the club's longest-serving player, while former Wales under-20 international Hardy, 21, joined the Championship club in 2016. Centre George Eastwell, 23, lock Dave McKern, 27, and back row Max Argyle, 24, have also signed new deals. "I think each of them has the potential to develop further," head coach Harvey Biljon told the club's website. "We are developing the core of a strong squad, with more re-signings and some new faces to be added to the mix soon." Jersey, who were an amateur side playing in the seventh tier 12 years ago, are fifth in the Championship, just one place outside the play-off positions. On Saturday, they inflicted a first defeat of the season on top-of-the-table London Irish, winning 15-11 in front of a record crowd of 3,317 at St Peter for a second-tier game. However, BBC Sport understands that Jersey would not seek promotion to the Premiership if they were to win the end of season play-offs. Lock James Voss, 22, Tonga international forward Uili Kolo'ofa'i, 34, and 27-year-old former Rotherham and Sale Sharks centre Jordan Davies are already under contract for next season. Also committed for 2017-18 are fly-half Brendan Cope, 23, prop Jake Woolmore, 26, and 21-year-old flanker Ayron Schramm. For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. The 21-year-old has made one senior appearance for the Canaries, and has been involved in their EFL Trophy Under-21 side this term. He scored eight goals in 33 games for Scottish side Hamilton Academical last term, and previously spent time at Oxford and York. "He's really mobile, direct," Millers boss Paul Warne said. "He's really hard-working and really athletic, which is what I want. He's a good age and he's friends with Tom Adeyemi here, so Tom knows him and has explained how the club works and he's really keen to come in and play."

Citigroup has picked Frankfurt as the base for its EU trading operations, and reports say Morgan Stanley has also chosen the German financial centre. Banks had been required to submit plans to the Bank of England earlier this month, detailing their preparations for when the UK exits the EU in March 2019. Many banks intend to set up subsidiaries in Europe so they can continue to look after EU customers if their UK-based operations lose the ability to operate across the bloc following Brexit. Bank of America currently has 700 staff in Dublin and 6,500 in the UK, of which 4,500 are based in London. Brian Moynihan, chairman and chief executive of Bank of America, said: "Dublin is the home of more of our employees than any other European city outside of the UK. "We already have a fully licensed and operational Irish-domiciled bank which, combined with Ireland's strong commitment to business and economic growth, makes Dublin the natural location to consolidate our legal entities as we transition." He added: "While we await further clarity around the Brexit negotiations, we are making all necessary preparations to serve our clients however those discussions conclude." Last week, Barclays said that it was in talks with Irish regulators about extending its operations in Dublin post-Brexit. Barclays said Ireland provided a "natural base" for the bank as it has operated there for 40 years already. Leo Varadkar, Ireland's Taoiseach who met Mr Moynihan on Friday, said: "Bank of America has a long-standing commitment to Ireland and I look forward to this relationship growing and deepening in the years ahead." He said the announcement was "a strong endorsement of Ireland's attractiveness as a location for investment". The borough council has been working with Avon and Somerset Police to introduce a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) covering the town centre. PSPOs are a type of power given to local councils to help tackle persistent anti-social behaviour. The new order - which does not apply to pavement cafes or licensed premises - will be enforced from 1 June. The PSPO replaces the "no drinking" order that applies to some areas of Taunton but is far broader, covering the town centre as well as parts of Priorswood Road through to Toneway and Blackbrook Way. Anyone in breach of the order will be committing a criminal offence and could receive a fixed penalty notice or face a fine in court. Last year, Taunton Deane councillors voted unanimously to ban the sale of legal highs in premises rented from the authority. In March, new anti-social behaviour legislation was upheld in a test case involving the closure of a legal highs shop in Taunton, which police said was responsible for serious nuisance and disorder in the town. Taunton is following in the footsteps of Lincoln City Council which introduced a similar scheme in February. Leader of Taunton Deane Council, councillor John Williams, said the order sent "a clear message that unacceptable, anti-social behaviour in Taunton will not be tolerated". Legal highs are similar to illegal drugs but have had their chemistry tweaked, meaning they are not covered by the Misuse of Drugs Act and are legal to sell. Media playback is not supported on this device The initiative is aimed to inspire children aged from five to eight to pick up a racquet for the first time. It offers a free six-week course led by specially trained coaches with free racquets given away. Additional courses are now being made available and the LTA is offering 4,000 more kids the opportunity to enjoy tennis for the first time. The LTA says more than half of the 13,290 who took part in 2016 continued to play after completing the course and encouraged friends to sign up. "Tennis for Kids gets kids involved," said Britain's number one female tennis player Johanna Konta "It gets them outside, or inside, but just generally active. Also, it's for free, and you get a free racquet, which I think is very exciting, so, there's no excuse not to get involved." Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. As the courses are designed for children taking up tennis, exercises focus on core skills such as agility, balance and co-ordination. Beyond the practical side of the sport, the sessions also teach children how to work with a partner and become a valuable member of a team. The initiative was set up two years ago on the back of Great Britain's Davis Cup triumph as part of a plan to build on their success by encouraging a potential wave of young tennis players across the country. "Demand for places has been sky high," added LTA director of participation Alistair Marks. "It's great we can make more available for parents still hoping to book their kids onto courses. "Nothing is more important to us than inspiring a future generation to take up tennis and get involved in a sport that they can continue to enjoy throughout their lives."

The club confirmed the bans came into effect immediately and said investigations were ongoing. Two men who were arrested following the incident have been bailed. In a statement, Hereford FC said: "Following the events that unfolded at Didcot on 4th March, Hereford FC can confirm that banning orders have been served on three supporters this week." About 100 people were involved in the incident, which took place in the 87th minute when Hereford were leading 2-1. A 19-year-old man from Hereford was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence, and a 19-year-old man from Hereford was arrested on suspicion of common assault. Both men have been bailed until April. The eight-year-old, the favourite for March's Cheltenham Gold Cup, was a 1-7 winner under Tom Scudamore. Trainer Colin Tizzard said: "If you don't get excited with a horse like this, then you need to be stone cold dead in a coffin." Later, Taquin Du Seuil beat Village Vic to win the featured Betvictor Gold Cup. Village Vic (20-1), ridden by champion jockey Richard Johnson, led for much of the race and jumped the last in front. But Aidan Coleman and the 8-1 Taquin Du Seuil, who won at the Cheltenham Festival in 2014, dug in to overhaul the leaders. It was a third success in the race for trainer Jonjo O'Neill. "I've had a terrible few weeks," said the winning jockey. "I broke my cheekbone and I haven't had a winner since Third Intention in the Old Roan at Aintree in October. "It's been a nightmare with injuries and everything, but this is great and I could not be happier for Jonjo and his team at Jackdaws Castle." Buywise (12-1), runner-up to Annacotty 12 months ago, stayed on for third two lengths back, with Aso (14-1) fourth. However, there was disappointment for O'Neill with More of That, the 2014 World Hurdle winner, who was pulled up by Barry Geraghty when out of contention. Thistlecrack had earlier delighted his trainer with an ultimately convincing victory. Tizzard indicated the eight-year-old is likely to line up at Newbury in two weeks' time to gain more jumping practice. "If we are going to go big after Christmas, he needs a bit more experience," Tizzard told BBC Radio 5 live. Cornelius Lysaght, BBC Radio 5 live racing correspondent It's no surprise those around Thistlecrack are thinking of having a previously unscheduled race in a fortnight to get more experience into this most exciting of rookie chasers. In the process of winning his second steeplechase from two starts, there were four or five moments of slight alarm around the 19-obstacle course, when the horse basically took too much of a risk. Trainer Colin Tizzard described it as exuberance - which doesn't matter as such - but leaves little margin for error, especially when the stakes are rather higher than Saturday's four-horse race.

Government negotiators and the British Medical Association leadership have reached an agreement after eight days of talks at conciliation service Acas. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the deal was a "significant step forward", while the BMA said it represented the "best and final way" to end the row. The offer will now be put to a vote of over 40,000 BMA members. That means it could still end up being rejected, but the fact the union and government have agreed a deal to end the stalemate is a major breakthrough. These talks were seen as the last chance to get an agreement and were set up after a series of strikes, including the first-ever full walk-out by doctors. It comes after the government announced in February it would be imposing the contract from this summer after previous talks failed. The details released on Wednesday include several major changes: The fact that something has been agreed is a major breakthrough. But this dispute is still a long way from being over. The BMA has promised its 40,000 members a vote on the agreement. That will be carried out in June and there are no guarantees the membership will give it the green light. Junior doctors have been incredibly united throughout. Some 98% voted in favour of taking strike action last autumn and whenever union leaders have taken soundings since, the overwhelming sense has been that they have wanted to fight on. If this hadn't been the case the leadership would probably have agreed a deal long before now. What will be interesting, and perhaps crucial, is just how strongly the BMA leadership tries to sell the agreement to members in the coming weeks. Read more from Nick Follow Nick on Twitter BMA junior doctor leader Dr Johann Malawana said he was pleased to have reached a deal after "intense but constructive talks", adding it was the "best and final way" of resolving the dispute. "Junior doctors have always wanted to agree a safe and fair contract, one that recognises and values the contribution junior doctors make to the NHS, addresses the recruitment and retention crisis in parts of the NHS and provides the basis for delivering a world-class health service. "What has been agreed today delivers on these principles, is a good deal for junior doctors and will ensure that they can continue to deliver high-quality care for patients." He said he would be recommending the deal to junior doctors ahead of the vote of BMA members, which will be run in June. Mr Hunt said: "We welcome this significant agreement which delivers important changes to the junior doctors' contract necessary to deliver a safer seven-day NHS. "The talks have been constructive and positive and highlighted many areas outside the contract where further work is necessary to value the vital role of junior doctors and improve the training and support they are given. "This deal represents a definitive step forward for patients, for doctors and for the NHS as a whole."

No plea or declaration was made on his behalf and the case was continued for further inquiry. Mr Buchanan was released on bail with the special condition that he does not approach the parliament building. The incident happened on Wednesday. Dunbar sustained the injury as Warriors beat Racing 92 on Saturday. Prop Alex Allan and flanker Hamish Watson have also been added to the Six Nations training squad. Centre Mark Bennett continues to make good progress on the shoulder injury he sustained earlier this month. Glasgow Warriors' Allan and Edinburgh's Watson joined the rest of the squad at their training base in St Andrews on Sunday. Allan, 24, has a solitary Test cap to his name, having made his international debut against the USA in the summer of 2014. Watson, also 24, has made two Scotland appearances, both against Italy, in the 2015 Six Nations and the Rugby World Cup warm-up fixture in Turin respectively. Both players are products of the Scottish Exiles development programme. Scotland's Six Nations campaign begins with the Calcutta Cup clash at Murrayfield on Saturday, 6 February. A contraflow system has reduced the A423 to one lane between Hinksey Hill and Heyford Hill interchanges until November, during a £6m scheme to create a roundabout. Some motorists were in traffic for up to three hours on Monday. Oxfordshire County Council deputy leader Rodney Rose told motorists to consider using public transport. "One bus can take 70 cars off the road for example and a train can take an awful lot more. So if a train journey is possible, even if it is until the end of November, perhaps you would think about it," he said. There are also side and slip road closures and a 30mph speed limit. Lee was expecting to do a 5km run in Rochester in the US state of New York. She turned up at the start line as the half marathon runners were setting off. So she joined them, thinking she'd arrived late for her shorter race. "About the fourth mile, I asked a woman I was running with how long it was - and she said it was about 13 miles," Lee explained. "That's when I realised I think I was in the wrong group." Her family became worried about where she'd gone, but a police officer on a motorcycle managed to find her. Lee decided she wanted to finish the half marathon - about four times longer than she had trained for. She crossed the line in an impressive two hours, 43 minutes and 31 seconds! The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will take on two floors of the 11-storey One Friargate complex. In April, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) scrapped its plan to move into the building. Coventry City Council's regeneration boss Jim O'Boyle said it was "very positive news" for the city. See more stories from across Coventry and Warwickshire here The service is an independent body set up to resolve individual disputes between customers and businesses. It is expected to start moving into the building from October with the move completed by the end of the year. Steve Reynolds, of Friargate, said it shows "huge confidence" in the development and "illustrates the attraction of the city and the development to a range of potential occupiers". As well as two floors, it will share a ground floor reception area with the council. Friargate is a regeneration project which aims to create 15,000 jobs spread over 25 buildings spanning 37 acres. The new complex includes 14 business offices along with retail shops, restaurants and bars. Councillor O'Boyle, cabinet member for jobs and regeneration at the council, said: "Not only were the Financial Ombudsman Service impressed with the location, right next to the station with a regular and fast service to London, they also see real potential for their business [to] be based here." The news comes just two months after the RICS announced it was to relocate after a bid to move to the Friargate site fell through. At the time it said it was "disappointed" the chance to move into a new Coventry development "did not materialise in the timescales originally envisaged". The 31-year-old comedian comes from the country's biggest township of Soweto. He is the son of a black South African woman of Xhosa background and a white Swiss man. In a place polarised by race, his great sense of humour cuts across the racial divide. He started his career on a local soap opera and progressed to host a celebrity gossip show. He also had a stint as a DJ on a popular show at a youth station. His self-deprecating humour has gained him a legion of fans. He previously described himself as a "bag of weed", because his mother used to drop him as soon she saw the apartheid police in the 80s. Under South African law at the time, multiracial romantic relationships were prohibited. His mixed-race heritage, experiences of growing up in Soweto and observations about race are the leading themes in his comedy. In 2013 he became the first African comedian to perform on Jay Leno's Tonight Show in the United States. Last December, he made his debut as an international correspondent on the Daily Show, offering an outsider's perspective on life in America. After only three appearances, he has been offered the top slot taking over from Jon Stewart. Stewart announced he would be stepping down earlier this year after 16 years at the helm. Noah's catalogue of witty anecdotes includes a story about an encounter with an American of Mexican decent on the streets of Los Angeles. The man approached Noah and began speaking to him in Spanish. When the comedian tried to explain that he did not speak the language and was in fact from South Africa, not South America, the man reacted in anger. "You must be ashamed of yourself," he said. "Now that you have made here it in America, you no longer speak your mother tongue." Noah, is however, a multi-linguist. He speaks six South African languages and is conversant in German and French. On another occasion he regaled fans with a tale about an incident in a German supermarket. He had gone into the store to buy a cold drink. The lady behind the counter was wide-eyed and surprised at how he spoke German. She was apparently shocked at Noah's "Hitler-ish accent". It turns out Noah picked up some of his German by watching a lot of Hitler's tapes. He is also hugely talented when it comes to mimicking politicians. President Jacob Zuma has on many occasions delivered a whole show of material for him. He once impersonated Mr Zuma's slow reading when he delivers speeches from prepared text. He would start by saying "we are going to party" and the audience would celebrate in anticipation of a party. The president would continue to say... "icipate" to his audience's disappointment. Part of his popularity here in South Africa is because his jokes are not full of foul language. Whole families can watch his material without skipping a generation. Like many comedians around the world, Noah hasn't shied away from controversial issues. He once told a joke about the Paralympian Oscar Pistorius during the athlete's trial which didn't go down well with some of his thousands of followers on Twitter. The reaction made the news on local media. He also told a joke about Nelson Mandela when the old statesman was ill and frail. Although some people were offended by his remarks, his appeal continued to grow. Noah's appointment at the head of one of the most successful shows in the US is proof that Africa is not just about Boko Haram, Ebola, death and destruction. It is about many other things, such as first-grade comedy. A briefing paper, drawn up for the DCAL committee, also warns that arts organisations would "face closure". It said there would be "significant" staff cuts in sporting organisations. The paper also warns that libraries and museum galleries would close, and that the Public Record Office (PRONI) would face a reduction in services. UUP MLA Leslie Cree, who sits on the DCAL committee, called the potential effect a "murder picture". All Stormont departments have been told to plan for cuts of up to 10% in their day-to-day budgets. DCAL officials have been assessing what the impact of cuts of either 5% or 10% would be. DCAL is set to be subsumed into a new Department for Communities next year, but there will still be a specific budget for the department in 2016/17. Departmental officials told the DCAL committee on Thursday that the implications of the proposed budget reductions would be "extremely serious" for arts organisations especially. They assess that even a 5% cut would lead to: Meanwhile, the briefing document says a 10% cut would be "extremely damaging" and "have lasting impacts on capability across the sector". NI21 MLA Basil McCrea, who also sits on the committee, told the BBC that arts organisations could not take much more in cuts. "The big issue is the uncertainty, that people can't plan like this," he said. "This does look pretty stark, and I think we are going to see cuts." Some members of the committee also queried whether a new radio broadcasting centre for Irish-language station Raidio Failte, to which DCAL has committed £403,000, could go ahead. A departmental official told the committee that while the new west Belfast centre was a "binding ministerial commitment,", the Department of Finance and Personnel do not accept it is an inescapable commitment. "The project still has ministerial backing and there is a sound argument for continuing with it, but it isn't contractually committed," he said. The executive discussed the budget on Thursday, and it is expected to reach agreement on it next week. "There's probably some misunderstanding of who I am and how I roll," Travis Kalanick told BBC World Service technology programme Tech Tent. His firm has been criticised for what some have described as aggressive business practices in cities around the world. "That's just simply not the case," he said. "We have worked with regulators." He also dismissed claims he had been rude about taxi drivers at a technology conference, saying he had been misquoted. "I've never been derogatory towards taxi drivers," he said. "In the US there's basically a cartel of taxi companies, I was referring to them." Since being founded in San Francisco in 2009, Uber has grown into a huge ridesharing enterprise - with services now offered in more than 200 cities. Unlike a traditional minicab firm, there are no human operators available to take your booking on the phone at their offices. Instead, once a user requests a lift through an app, the process is completely automated by Uber's software which allocates the booking to the driver best-placed to take it on. But in many cities, most notably in London and Los Angeles, local cab firms and drivers have staged protests against the service. In London specifically, black-cab drivers argue that Uber drivers do not have the same regulatory restrictions imposed on them, creating an uneven playing field. Among other differences, Uber drivers do not need to pass the Knowledge, a world famous test of the ins-and-outs of London's old streets. Black-cab drivers argue that the Knowledge ensures the best possible route to destinations, rather than relying, as Uber drivers do, on a sat nav. "The Knowledge is the best in the business," Mr Kalanick said, but added he did not think it was essential. "But you will not get anybody who has Knowledge-level skills in a minicab, it's simply not possible. But the consumer should have that choice. "If they can get a reliable ride that's half the price of a black cab, shouldn't they be able to have that choice?" The full interview with Travis Kalanick can be heard on this week's edition of Tech Tent on the BBC World Service.at 15:00 BST on Friday. On 16 June she was attacked and killed in Birstall, West Yorkshire, near to where she had been holding a constituency surgery, where local people can talk to her about any problems they have. On 23 November a man called Thomas Mair was found guilty of her murder. Jo Cox was a 41-year-old local MP for the Batley and Spen area of Yorkshire. She was elected in May 2015 to represent the Labour Party. Jo was married, with two children. As part of her job as an MP she campaigned heavily for human rights, and spoke in the Houses of Parliament about lots of issues like equality, railways, and the Syrian refugee crisis. Jo worked with charities to try to help tackle poverty and discrimination and make life better for children. Jeremy Corbyn, who is leader of the Labour Party, said that Jo "believed passionately that all people can achieve their full potential given the opportunity. Her murder was an attack on democracy, and has robbed the world of an ambassador of kindness and compassion." 'MP' stands for Member of Parliament. Britain is split up into 650 different areas, called constituencies, and every area has an MP whose job it is to look after the needs of people living there. MPs debate lots of important issues such as healthcare, education and transport. Local MPs split their time between the House of Parliament in London, and their constituency. Every MP has a 'surgery' in their constituency, where local people can talk to them about any problems they might have. Then the MP can raise these issues during their debates in London. After Jo was killed thousands of tributes from all over the world poured in. Hundreds of people of all faiths packed into Saint Peter's Church in Birstall to remember her, and a vigil was held in Westminster in London outside the Houses of Parliament where she worked. Many people who live in Yorkshire left messages, candles and flowers at a statue in Birstall. David Cameron, Prime Minister at the time said: "The death of Jo Cox is a tragedy. She was a committed and caring MP." Peter Wanless, chief executive of children's charity NSPCC, said: "Jo was passionate about helping children and families who face adversity. She had a great understanding of the problems young people face and was totally committed to changing things to improve their lives." Israel said it was taking measures to ensure the return of Israeli remains from Palestinian territory. But the country's security cabinet announced the move after the release of mocking videos from the armed wing of Hamas. The decision will now become a permanent change in policy, it said. The two video clips published by the Hamas military wing show a mock birthday for Oron Shaul, who Israel said was killed during the Gaza War in 2014. In one, his face has been digitally inserted over someone else's body, bound and in army fatigues. He is visited by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a clown's costume, who blows out the candles on a birthday cake. Sgt Shaul, 21, was one of seven soldiers reported killed in an incident in Shejaiya, near Gaza City. But Hamas has never confirmed that Sgt Shaul is dead. After the meeting of the security cabinet, the prime minister's office released a brief statement on the decision. "The security cabinet discussed ways to effect the return of fallen soldiers and of civilians held in the Gaza Strip ... and decided that (the bodies of militants) should be buried, rather than returned," the statement said. Bodies buried under the new policy could be exhumed and returned later as part of exchanges. In September 2016, Israeli officials said that Hamas had rejected the offer of an exchange for both prisoners and the remains of fallen citizens.

And it's no secret that the Home Office budget is one of the departments in Whitehall that is not protected from the overall cuts. Following the Paris attacks, political concern over policing numbers has become acute. A document, prepared at the request of the government's emergency committee in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, spells out some of the potential consequences of further cuts to the police budgets. And for the Home Office, and the chancellor preparing his set piece statement for next Wednesday, it makes awkward reading. We've seen key paragraphs of a restricted document prepared this week titled, "Implications of the Paris Attack for UK Police Preparedness". The document suggests that further cuts to police budgets would have very serious implications for the authorities' ability to respond to multiple terrorist incidents because of the reduction in police numbers. The document cites concerns over "surge capacity" - the need to mobilise large numbers of officers and resources in the event of a serious attack, warning that it will "reduce very significantly across the country unless a different funding settlement is found". These concerns, outlined in a letter to the home secretary, copied to the Treasury, Number 10 and the security services, are on top of existing worries about reductions in neighbourhood policing. The document, dated 15 November, says: "It would be remiss of me not to highlight the impact further reductions in police force numbers would have on our ability to manage terrorist incidents of this magnitude, particularly if spread simultaneously across a number of geographical locations. "Police forces across England and Wales have already seen a reduction of 40,000 officers and further losses will severely impact our surge capacity, which is heavily geared and will reduce very significantly across the country unless a different funding settlement is found. "A Met view is that a 5-10% CSR cash reduction should keep officer reductions at 2,000 or fewer which will be manageable. Other forces' positions vary, but the overarching concerns are the same. These considerations are of course in addition to the need to sustain neighbourhood policing to maintain local trust and intelligence flows." Expectation in Westminster is that the cuts to the police budget may be more than 20%, more than double what this official document suggests is viable to keep numbers at the level required in the event of an attack. The concerns outlined in the document go beyond the specific budget allocated to counter terrorism. The chancellor and the home secretary met today to try to finalise the spending plans for the Home Office, their second such meeting this week. The government has committed to protecting the counter terrorism budget. David Cameron said at Prime Minister's Questions this week: "We rightly protected counter terrorism in the last Parliament and we will protect it again in this parliament." But it's clear that the concerns go far wider than the specific budget allocated to fight terrorism. And, as in so many regards, the Paris attacks are having an impact on politics here too.

They had gone to watch seals for Mr Carey's 30th birthday. It took them two hours to get the attention of walkers who then called the coastguard, the charity said. The RNLI said the pair were in a "life-threatening" situation after being cut off by the tide. Derek Hall, the St Ives lifeboat operations manager, said: "They walked out to Seal Island and because of the spring tides, the sea came in very quickly and they got cut off. "The lady had tried to swim to shore unsuccessfully, and ended up losing some of her clothes as well, so they were very cold and shaken." The couple were with their border collie dog which managed to swim to shore, Mr Hall said. Mr Carey and Ms Worrall, who were rescued by the St Ives lifeboat, were not injured. As the crowds streamed towards the stadium known as the Cake Tin on a gloriously sunny Saturday afternoon, it seemed like the message of the Black Caps captain was getting through. By the time they drifted away into the Wellington night, having seen the Martin Guptill-inspired Kiwis destroy West Indies to earn a place in the semi-finals, the dream was fast becoming a reality. Guptill's unbeaten 237 was the highest score in a World Cup match, the second biggest in one-day internationals and the fourth best in all List A cricket. He broke his own record for the highest score by a New Zealander, becoming only the second man to hit a World Cup double ton and the fifth to do so in all ODIs. McCullum called it the "the greatest ODI innings I've seen live", former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney said that Guptill "dazzled", while former India batsman Rahul Dravid described it as "incredible". It was a New Zealand performance befitting the excitement in a country where the World Cup feels like a bigger deal than across the Tasman Sea in Australia. Whereas Australia has struggled to fill its vast grounds, New Zealand has matched size of venue to magnitude of match to be rewarded with capacity crowds and lively atmospheres. Media playback is not supported on this device And while Australia's larger cities have few reminders that the World Cup is in the area, New Zealand's smaller towns are plastered with paraphernalia. In a rugby-obsessed nation, cricket is on the television in takeaways and hotel lobbies. Shop windows are given over to cricket-themed displays, while Black Caps flags flutter on the forecourts of a used-car dealerships. In Dunedin, the city of McCullum's birth, the road leading to its University Oval has been renamed 'Brendon McCullum Drive'. As for Guptill, he already appears to be living the dream - but it is one that was almost over before it began. At the age of 13, he was involved in a forklift accident that caused him to lose three toes. As the aspiring cricketer recovered in hospital, his father arranged for former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming to pay him a visit. "Back then I didn't think I would ever play for New Zealand," said Guptill, sensitively nicknamed 'Two Toes'. "I'm lucky enough to represent my country and I'm loving this moment." Some 15 years later, a merciless assault on the West Indies bowling etched the tall right-hander into New Zealand cricket and World Cup folklore. Not that the early signs were good. He needed the good fortune of Marlon Samuels dropping a straightforward shin-high chance at square leg in the first over and had to weather the storm of losing more illustrious partners McCullum and Kane Williamson. However, with the confidence of a century in his last innings against Bangladesh, Guptill built by driving pacemen down the ground and cutting the spinners through the off side. As he approached 200, the crowd began chanting his name. When the double century came, the roar was so loud it was as if the whole of New Zealand was celebrating, Guptill's helmet-off, double-armed celebration providing perhaps the moment of the World Cup so far. In the same Andre Russell over, another boundary took Guptill past Chris Gayle's World Cup best of 215. Gayle, whose record stood for only 25 days, congratulated Guptill between overs, offering a handshake and telling him "welcome to the club". Then came the shot that the innings will be best remembered for - Russell forgetting to use the pitch, Guptill swinging to leg, white leather becoming a dot in the sky and landing on the roof of the stand. Guptill removed his glove and held two fingers to Craig McMillan, telling his batting coach that he had now managed more hits on to the roof of the Cake Tin. As a couple of figures in black walked around the top of the stadium in an effort to find the ball, the word "roof" trended on Twitter. The crowd continued to shout his name as he strode off at the end of the innings and remained vocal when he reappeared to be interviewed on television. "I'm incredibly proud of what happened today," said Guptill. "It's pretty cool to hear the whole stadium chanting your name - I've never had anything like that before." Media playback is not supported on this device There were more reasons for noise as the Black Caps sprinted towards victory: Trent Boult taking four wickets to become the tournament's most successful bowler, Daniel Vettori urging his 36-year-old, injury-ravaged body into a Michael Jordan-style leap for a one-handed catch on the third-man boundary. The Black Caps have rewarded the nation's enthusiasm with seven successive wins in this tournament and the real sense that their seventh World Cup semi-final against South Africa in Auckland on Tuesday could finally produce a place in the final - and even the trophy. "That would make the nation throb with pride," said Coney. "Success and being in the spotlight doesn't usually sit well. Our style is to be a bit more humble. Talking ourselves up isn't really the New Zealand way." Maybe, though, the New Zealand way is about to change - especially if a country with a population smaller than that of Yorkshire were to hold both the cricket and rugby union World Cups at the same time. "Wouldn't that be nice?" suggested Coney, with typical Kiwi understatement. Perhaps it really is time to dream big, New Zealand.

Dementia is a word that describes a number of symptoms which affect the way the brain thinks. People who suffer from dementia might experience memory loss, have difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or speaking. It is also a progressive disease, which means the symptoms will gradually get worse over time. One of the stars of the show is Josh, whose granddad has been diagnosed with dementia. He met up with Richard McCourt, one half of Dick and Dom, about how he coped when his Mum had the disease. Josh and Richard told us more about what dementia is, and how it affected them.

League One Bradford stunned Premier League leaders Chelsea, Championship side Middlesbrough won at champions Manchester City and League Two Cambridge United held Manchester United to a draw. And that was just in round four. This weekend's fifth round sees Bradford attempt to eliminate Sunderland and Championship side Blackburn host Stoke, before League One Preston tackle 11-time winners Manchester United on Monday, So how should a team of aspiring giant-killers approach a game against a higher-placed opponent? What are the ingredients that go into creating a great Cup upset? We asked six giant-killers - Shrewsbury's Nigel Jemson and Kevin Ratcliffe, Wrexham's Mickey Thomas, Hereford's Ronnie Radford, Sutton's Tony Rains and Millwall's Mark Beard - exactly what it takes. We also spoke to two men - Mark Lawrenson (Liverpool) and Robbie Savage (Leicester) - who know what's like to be on the receiving end. Tony Rains, scorer of the first goal as Conference side Sutton United beat First Division Coventry City 2-1 in 1989: "There was such a massive lead-up to the game. Once we got the draw, things turned around from our normal non-league build-up with the media attention and that disrupts any form of natural environment you normally have. That can feel really strange. You're not doing a lot of training and eventually you have to pull the plug with everyone and get out on the field and try to prepare for the game." Media playback is not supported on this device Ronnie Radford, whose goal helped Hereford beat Newcastle 2-1 after extra time in a third-round replay in 1972: "There was such a frenzy surrounding the tie. The original match was postponed twice because of the weather. After the 2-2 draw in that game all of our players went back to work. There was no pressure on us - we were part-time - and then the replay was called off three times, and Newcastle had stayed in Worcester the whole time. They had to deal with the boredom of it all." Nigel Jemson, scorer of both Shrewsbury goals as the Third Division side knocked out top-flight Everton 2-1 in 2003: "I got a text from Mark Bright before the game - I used to play with him at Sheffield Wednesday - and he said that somebody was going to be a hero, and why shouldn't it be me? That always sticks in my mind. "The gaffer, Kevin Ratcliffe, got us revved up for the game, we prepared properly and it was like our cup final. We went into it with confidence we could pull off a draw but as the game continued, we deserved it 100%." Mickey Thomas, who scored as Fourth Division strugglers Wrexham stunned Arsenal 2-1 in 1992: "It was number one in the football pyramid against number 92. It brought people from everywhere in the town together and the atmosphere was electric." Kevin Ratcliffe, Shrewsbury manager as they beat Everton: "When big clubs come to places like Gay Meadow, you are taking their players out of their comfort zone. Their training ground is better than your ground, and their training pitches are much better than the one you play games on. "It is the way that modern Premier League players are brought up as well now - they have always had those brilliant facilities. Very few of them have had to change in a Portakabin or in the toilets. Media playback is not supported on this device "Then they come to a little old stadium like Gay Meadow and the changing room is tiny, and the pitch is a bit bobbly as well. That does not sway the game your way, but every bit of advantage helps when you are playing against players who are better than yours." Radford: "When the Newcastle game went to a replay, their striker Malcolm Macdonald said the next game would be different. Well, it was different in every way. The atmosphere was amazing and the noise of the crowd was relentless for the whole 90 minutes. It must have been a daunting thing for Newcastle." Mark Beard, scorer as First Division Millwall won 2-0 at Premier League Arsenal in a third-round tie in 1995, then beat Chelsea on penalties after a replay in round four: "We took a massive crowd of about 7,000 to Arsenal, so it created quite an intimidating atmosphere. "That was fantastic, but when we played Chelsea at The Den… I've never experienced an atmosphere like that. It was crazy. "They talk about the big derbies abroad like in Italy and Turkey, where the fans are so passionate, but this game was exactly the same. It was unbelievable - for the 120 minutes, everywhere you looked there were fans screaming at you." Mark Lawrenson, whose Liverpool side were held to a 1-1 draw by Third Division York in 1986 before winning the replay after extra time: "We should not have played the first game at York when we did because it had snowed and the pitch was frozen. I knew the groundsman, the late Brian Foster, who had worked at my first club Preston. I remember talking to him before the game - I said 'you've been in the referee's ear to get this on' and he just started laughing. "The pitch was dodgy, which made a big difference because we tried to play football and play our usual game. We should have just lumped it but, with Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush up front, we didn't really have anyone to lump it to." Ratcliffe: "Wayne Rooney played for Everton but we were not worried about him - we were more worried about Tomasz Radzinski's pace up front for balls over the top. We were not bothered about Rooney turning and running at us because the pitch would not allow him to have the touch that he wanted to - it meant their players had to take one or two extra touches and slowed them down." Media playback is not supported on this device Robbie Savage, whose Leicester team were sixth in the Premier League when they were beaten in the quarter-finals by Second Division Wycombe in 2001: "What happened in that game is why people should take nothing for granted in football. "When we drew Wycombe at home, a lot of us at the club thought we were through to the semi-finals already. We expected to turn up and win and that was part of the problem. There is no excuse for what happened." Radford: "It's amazing what pressure does to people. Newcastle had seven or eight internationals, Malcolm Macdonald was one of the best players in England and they had won the FA Cup six times. But come the kick-about before the game, the slope of the pitch…" Lawrenson: "There were ways of making us uncomfortable. A lot of the time lower teams would try to bypass our midfield by playing the long ball and if they had a couple of big and strong strikers up front, you could sometimes feel as if we did not have enough of the ball, and then we struggled because we could not get Dalglish, Rush and those sorts of players into the game. "Then the tackles would be flying in too because the lesser team would be well up for it, and the referee would let things go. Your aim, especially if you were playing away, would be to get an early goal because it would silence the crowd. If we scored first then the smaller sides very rarely came back at us. "The longer they are in the game, the more confidence their players get and you only needed one or two of your team-mates to suddenly think that you are in a bit of trouble, and then you are struggling." Beard: "We scored an early goal after about 10 minutes and it settled us down a bit. It especially settled me down because I was only 20 at the time, and it gave us lots of confidence." Rains: "Once the match started we tried to stick to a game-plan, which wasn't to go gung-ho. We needed to come through the first 15 minutes without conceding and that's what we did. As the half developed we came more into the game." Media playback is not supported on this device Beard: "We had really good team spirit, but also lots of good individual players who, as it proved in time, were probably more suited to the Premier League than the Championship. Alex Rae had a good career and went on to play in the Premier League, Mark Kennedy went to Liverpool for £1.5m and we had Kasey Keller, an unbelievable goalkeeper. We had players who went on to do things in their careers and that combined with our belief and togetherness." Jemson: "We played really well. I had played against Everton before from being in the Premier League so I knew what to expect and the experienced players like myself, Mark Atkins and Ian Woan gave the inexperienced players the confidence they needed to go out there and put a show on. "Everyone performed that day. When you play against a team like Everton, you have to be on top of your game and just hope they are having an off-day, and that proved to be." Rains: "When you have something at stake that was that big, something that had only been achieved five or six other times in history [a non-league team beating a top-flight side], you do anything to hold onto it. The final whistle was something we remembered and enjoyed for the rest of our lives." Thomas: "Wrexham beating Arsenal caused a bit of an earthquake in the football world - I'm told that Chelsea fans were singing my name at Hull and Spurs fans, who hated me from my Manchester United days, even chanted because they enjoyed the fact I had knocked Arsenal out. Media playback is not supported on this device "All of the Arsenal lads were really respectful after the game. I'd asked for David Seaman's gloves before the game, and he was true to his word. He even waited outside the dressing room for me. Fair dos to him." Beard: "After the game, as normal, Arsenal striker Ian Wright was a bit agitated. He wanted to fight the world - I think he had a little argument with Alex Rae and Andy Roberts and then he carried on into the tunnel and then into the bar. He didn't like losing. "After that, the next day was surreal. I was on the train going somewhere and I was on the back page of every newspaper and I was getting spotted by people who weren't Millwall fans." Rains: "After we had beaten Coventry and I had scored, myself and the other scorer, Matt Hanlan, got plucked out to do different things in the media. The weirdest one was going on Wogan. It was completely non-football orientated. He was not poking fun, but he was asking questions about if we had made the changing rooms cold, and did we pick up our money in our boots? It was a fantastic experience but it was a bit weird." Media playback is not supported on this device Ratcliffe: "I took a phone call on the Monday morning from Everton boss David Moyes to apologise because he never stayed behind for a drink after the game as he was fuming about his team. He said he had watched a video of the game and he was sorry because he did not realise how well we had played and that we had deserved it. It was a nice touch for him to say that. "We only won one of our remaining 22 league games after the Cup tie and ended up being relegated out of the Football League. "It is amazing what a cup run can do - sometimes it can spur players on to bigger and better things, or it can make them think they are better than they are. I think one or two of them thought they were better than Shrewsbury and should have been playing at a higher level." Savage: "Things were never the same again. Losing to Wycombe left a massive hangover for the rest of the season and it was the beginning of the end for Peter Taylor as Leicester manager. "Before that Cup defeat we were in the top six of the Premier League and had beaten Liverpool 2-0 the previous week. Afterwards, we lost eight games in a row." A record crowd of 9,000 is expected at the event on the Raehills Estate near Beattock from 8 to 11 June. Supt Irvine Watson said everyone involved had put in a "huge amount of work" to ensure it would be another "tremendous festival". He said police would be working in "all areas of the venue" with stewards to "keep everyone safe". ''Our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, including the community that gathers for the weekend at the Eden Festival," he said. "We want people to have fun and enjoy what is sure to be another excellent festival. "Security is constantly under review at all our major events in Dumfries and Galloway." He said police worked closely with organisers to ensure there was "appropriate security" at every event. "At the same time we want those attending the festival to look after themselves, have respect for others and be mindful that what is against the law in Scotland is also against the law within any festival venue in Scotland," he said. "Police Scotland will adopt the same pro-active approach to the dealing and misuse of drugs at the Eden Festival as we do across the rest of Scotland." He added that part of the condition of entry to the festival was that New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) - also known as "legal highs" - were not permitted on the site. Stephen "Aki" Akinyemi died after a fight with businessman Arran Coghlan at the latter's Cheshire mansion in 2010. Mr Coghlan was cleared of his murder. A fresh inquest heard Mr Coghlan was acting as a peacemaker in a row which involved a man called Philip Atkinson. David Mason QC told London's Royal Courts of Justice: "They both had Porsches with the number plate 'Aki'." Mr Coghlan told a previous inquest in 2011 that Mr Akinyemi pulled a gun on him and that it went off during a struggle. At the time, Cheshire coroner Nicholas Rheinberg recorded an open verdict, saying he had "difficulty" accepting Mr Coghlan's version of events. At Monday's hearing, Mr Mason, representing Mr Coghlan, claimed that Mr Akinyemi was at Mr Coghlan's home because he was "upset that another man was using the same nickname". Mr Akinyemi's brother John told the inquest he did not think his brother would have been "bothered with that" and said the only reason he wanted to see Mr Coghlan was simply because "he was his friend". He said he did not know whether his brother carried weapons. Coroner Bernard Richmond QC asked whether he would be shocked if the inquest heard that weapons had been discovered. Mr Akinyemi replied: "It would be a bit of a shock but, generally speaking, nothing shocks me. It would be something I have learned." Stephen Akinyemi was arrested in connection with the murder of Chinaedu Iheagwara, 34, in 2002. When pressed about any comments his brother had made about this shooting and his arrest, John Akinyemi repeatedly said: "I cannot remember." He later said: "He made out like he was being troubled for something he did not do and he did not want to talk about it." After Mr Coghlan was initially accused of murdering Stephen Akinyemi, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charge because it could not prove Mr Coghlan, who suffered stab wounds, was not acting in self-defence. It was the third time he had been cleared of murder. In 1996, he was cleared of murdering alleged gangland enforcer Chris Little, who had been shot dead at the wheel of his Mercedes two years earlier. In 2001, another drug dealer David Barnshaw, 32, was kidnapped, forced to drink petrol and burned alive in the back of a car in Stockport, Greater Manchester. Mr Coghlan was acquitted of leading the gang that tortured and killed him when it emerged that police failed to pass on important information about another possible suspect. The inquest continues. The iPlayer service was out of action over most of the weekend thanks to problems with the database behind the catch-up service. The faults also meant only a simplified version of the BBC's homepage was shown, while online video and audio clips were also disrupted. A BBC spokesman said it was "pretty confident" the faults were now cleared. "BBC iPlayer, BBC iPlayer Radio and other parts of BBC Online that were affected by problems over the weekend are now up and running," he said. "Our teams continue to investigate the problem to ensure this doesn't happen again." He added: "We will be publishing more details about the problem in due course on the BBC's internet blog." The duration of the outage led reporters to question BBC boss Tony Hall about the problems on a day when the corporation unveiled its annual report. Mr Hall said that he would look into the cause of the problems and added: "99.9% of the time the iPlayer works very well". While the iPlayer was not working the corporation put out statements via Twitter apologising several times for the inconvenience. The apology did not mollify many people who strongly criticised the BBC about the length of the disruption. The problems for the iPlayer and many other sites started on the morning of 19 July when engineers noticed that there was a "severe load" on the servers underlying the video-on-demand system. In addition, reports reached the BBC that viewers were getting slow response times for some services or were seeing errors saying a programme or clip was not available. Soon after the BBC noticed, messages were also received from network engineers at internet service providers (ISPs) including Virgin Media, which were also logging problems with the iPlayer and other BBC video traffic. Later in the day, the service became unavailable via the web and through smartphone apps. Internal logs of the incident and how it was handled showed that database administrators, network engineers and system analysts were all called on to see if they could diagnose the problem and fix it. Work continued throughout the weekend to try to stabilise the servers and database supporting the iPlayer and many other BBC services. The final fixes for the problems were expected to be applied on 21 July when the vast majority of people should be able reach the web-based video services as normal. The BBC said it would issue a statement when it knew more about the cause of the glitches. The blaze, close to Gypsy Lane, Swindon, started just before 01:00 BST and at one point more than 50 firefighters were on site. People living nearby were earlier urged to keep their windows shut because of thick plumes of smoke caused by the blaze. Crews are expected to be on site for much of the day. Station manager Gareth Evans said the fire affected a mound of metal which he described as about 15 sq m big and originally about six metres high. "That's burnt down now," he said. "Metal burns with a very, very intense flame so there is the potential for temperatures in excess of 1,000C in that part of the fire." Mr Evans said the blaze produced "vast quantity of smoke" which could be seen all over the town. "I don't know what's in that smoke but please close your windows and stay indoors and don't breath the smoke," he added. A spokesman for European Metal Recycling confirmed the fire started at its Swindon depot early on Saturday. He said: "While we investigate the cause, we would like to apologise to the local community and businesses for the inconvenience this incident may have caused." Twelve people including Mr Urban died in the attack on a Berlin Christmas market on 19 December. Mr Urban, who was also stabbed, was hailed a hero amid reports that he had prevented further deaths. But doctors have ruled out that he was conscious, says Bild newspaper. The conclusions of Mr Urban's post-mortem examination say he was shot in the head between 16:30 (15:30 GMT) and 17:30 and lost a lot of blood, the paper reports. His boss and cousin said he had lost contact with him at around 16:00. The attack on the market at Breitscheidplatz took place just after 20:00, and he may still have been alive at the time in the passenger seat although not capable of grabbing a steering wheel, Bild adds. Mr Urban, 37, had parked the 40-tonne lorry in Berlin, waiting to unload a consignment of steel beams the following day. A petition calling for him to be given a posthumous award had attracted some 38,000 signatures by Tuesday. Tunisian-born Anis Amri, 24, was eventually shot dead by an Italian policeman near Milan on 23 December, after he had travelled from Berlin through France. A video was released of him pledging allegiance to the head of jihadist group Islamic State (IS). Investigators are trying to find out if he had accomplices, and CCTV footage has emerged of him at Lyon-Part-Dieu station, before he apparently boarded a train via Chambery on his way to Milan. He was identified by his backpack, French media said. "He was on his own on the footage," a source was quoted as saying. What is not clear is how Amri travelled from Berlin via France without being spotted by police. Rail tickets bought in cash were found on his body. Police have produced a picture of Amri at Milan central station, three hours before he pulled a gun and fired at two police officers who had stopped him for a routine check outside Milan. They have pieced together his journey first to Turin, then by another train to Milan, where he took a coach to the north-eastern suburb of Sesto San Giovanni. Italian policeman Cristian Movio, who was shot in the shoulder by Amri, has told Italian media he is now able to move "without too much pain". Officials are trying to find out if the gunman was in contact with anyone in Italy and what his next destination was. Amri had around €150 (£128) in cash, according to reports, and no food or extra clothing in his backpack. One theory is that he was aiming to take a bus to the Balkans or southern Italy. Italy has beefed up security because of the risk of revenge attacks. A senior official in Italy's department of public security, Maurizio Vallone, warned that it was the "first time a terrorist has been killed in Italy... we have to be particularly careful to take every possible means of self defence". Three people are being held by the Tunisian authorities, including a nephew who had contact with Amri via the social media app Telegram. Amri's request for asylum in Germany had been turned down and although he had been designated by authorities as a potential risk, they had lost track of him. He was classed as a "gefaehrder", considered to be a serious risk but without concrete evidence for it. German authorities have given the status to 549 people. Amri moved to Germany in 2011 after four years in jail in Italy for a series of offences. Italy and Germany both tried to deport him to Tunisia but were unable to because he did not have valid papers. He was reportedly a follower of Abu Walaa, an Islamist preacher held in Germany on suspicion of recruiting for IS. The attack and the failure to detain Amri in Germany has prompted calls for greater security and video surveillance. The ruling Christian Democrats' sister party, the CSU, wants convicted extremists to wear electronic tags. And the head of Germany's association of towns and municipalities has called for the use of greater CCTV, in a country that has traditionally shied away from widespread video surveillance of its citizens. The man, in his 40s, was acquitted last year at a retrial. He has been charged with breaching the terms of the order by refusing to give police the Pin to his phone. He accused North Yorkshire Police, which declined to comment, of "sour grapes" in applying for a sexual risk order after the case. The order requires him to disclose any planned sexual activity to the police or face up to five years in prison. The case is due back in court on 14 July ahead of a hearing on 19 August, which will decide whether to grant police's application to make the interim order permanent. Sexual risk orders were introduced in England and Wales last year and can be applied to any individual who the police believe poses a risk of sexual harm - even if they have never been convicted of a crime. They are civil orders imposed by magistrates at the request of police. The man, who said the complainant had consented to sex, was cleared of rape after being held on remand for 14 months. His trial heard he had an interest in sado-masochistic sex. Speaking after an adjourned hearing at York Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, he said the order had devastated his personal life and "contravened his human rights". "I had more freedom in prison," he said. "I'm in a state of shock, I cannot believe this is how the justice system works." He said there was "no prospect" of a relationship at the moment. He said: "Can you imagine, 24 hours before sex? Come on. He gave the example of chatting to a woman and saying: "There's a nice French restaurant I'd like to take you to, but first the police are just going to come around for a little chat." "Knock, knock, knock, this is the police, (Mr X) is subject to a sexual risk order and is considered to be potentially dangerous... then they leave." The order was extended in January for four months by York magistrates after it was initially imposed in December in Northallerton, North Yorkshire. It declares the man "must disclose the details of any female including her name, address and date of birth... at least 24 hours prior to any sexual activity taking place". It also contains restrictions on his use of the internet and mobile phones and requires him to inform officers of any change of address. During his rape trial, jurors heard that the man had visited a fetish club with an ex-partner. The jury also heard evidence from a doctor with whom he had discussed his past. He claimed the doctor had misunderstood a discussion of fantasy for a confession, which police later seized upon. "Thank God 50 Shades of Grey came out when it did, it helped my barrister normalise that," he said. Ricky Tynemouth was a passenger in a Vauxhall Corsa which left the A196 near South Farm, Choppington, at about 19:30 BST on Wednesday. The 17 year old, from Guidepost, was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other boys, both 17, were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Northumbria Police arrested the 18-year-old driver on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The militants, believed to be a male and female, were suspected of planning to carry out a car bomb attack, the state-run Anadolu news agency reports. They detonated the devices after they were asked to surrender their weapons. Police had been acting on a tip-off, Ankara's governor said, suggesting a link to Kurdish separatists. Erkan Topaca said police had found the pair hiding at a horse farm in the district of Haymana, just outside the capital. He said: "The organisation they are connected to is not clear yet but according to information we have received it is highly likely that [the man] is linked to the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party)." The BBC's Mark Lowen in Ankara says the pair were said to be flying a Turkish flag from their car as cover and a third person is now being sought. Plastic explosives and ammonium nitrate were found with the vehicle. Kurdish militants have carried out a wave of bombings across Turkey since a ceasefire broke down in 2015. The Turkish president has vowed that the PKK, which has waged a four-decades-long fight in Turkey, will be "annihilated". But, our correspondent says, with the attacks continuing and hostility deepening between Kurds and the Turkish state, there is little sign of the insurgency ending and neither side has shown a willingness to return to peace negotiations. Emergency services should create a data-based system to filter reports and deploy responders, says the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET). Smartphone technology and apps could be used to send alerts to the emergency services, it says. Prof Will Stewart said there was a "critical" need to update the service. A service primarily for deaf people and those with speech difficulties already exists, but requires people to register beforehand. The report - called Contacting Emergency Services in the Digital Age - says emergency services need to "reflect the digital age" and the fact people now increasingly use text messages and social media to communicate, rather than making a voice call. Prof Stewart, chair of the IET's communications policy panel, said communication had changed "drastically" since the 999 service was designed in 1937. "Given that young people are statistically more likely to be victims of crime or accidents, it is a concern that making a voice call to contact the emergency services is not something that would feel natural to them," he said. He added: "A girl alone in a minicab who becomes worried about her personal safety might feel unable to make a call on her mobile phone - but could send a text or alert someone over social media. "And in the case of certain crimes, such as abduction or a break-in, a silent text or app-based alarm system would be more appropriate and instinctive than the current voice-based one for everybody - irrespective of their age." Prof Stewart said much of the technology required to update 999 services was available, but changes would need to be arranged in consultation with the main mobile and app-based text providers. The report also said existing emergency services could be improved by using the latest GPS technology available on smartphones. An automatic software system could also scan texts and pass on any known user information and approximate handset location to call handlers. Prof Stewart said smartphones, which were now widely used, also had the technology to provide emergency services with a variety of information about their owners. "The real problem with 999 is triage, i.e. deciding what to do when the call comes in, and people are confused, not talking very well," he said. "Your smartphone knows a lot of useful stuff. Firstly your location, secondly perhaps just listening to what's going on, activating your camera and looking at what's going on. "If you're in a distressed situation, the operator would be much better able to decide what your problem was than she was just listening to you sounding confused and distressed." Prof Stewart said the use of smartphones could "help, rather than hinder, the information problem". Supt Mark Nottage, from the emergency services mobile communication programme at the Home Office, said the emergency services needed to reflect a world where "many people rarely make voice calls in their daily lives". "This means that we need to adapt and be responsive to ensure that when people need to contact the emergency services or other public services they can quickly access the right information and the most appropriate service first time, and in the way that they choose and are familiar with," he said. Sam Hallam, from London, served more than seven years for murder, while Victor Nealon, from Worcestershire, served 17 years for attempted rape. Both men were set free after appeal judges ruled that fresh evidence made their convictions unsafe. But judges, sitting in London, dismissed their compensation cases. Victor Nealon's lawyer said the judgment was "wrong legally and morally", while lawyers for both men confirmed they would appeal. Paul May, chair of the Sam Hallam Defence Campaign, said: "This is a sad day for justice and the presumption of innocence. "The callous refusal of the Ministry of Justice to compensate this innocent man is truly shameful." The pair asked two judges to rule that UK law is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights because it wrongly restricts compensation in miscarriage of justice cases. Their judicial review challenges were the first to be brought against the coalition government's decision in 2014 to narrow eligibility for an award. A person who has been wrongfully convicted can now only get a payout if it is proved "beyond reasonable doubt" they had not committed the offence. Sam Hallam was jailed in 2005 for life with a minimum term of 12 years in connection with the murder of Essayas Kassahun in 2004. But in May 2012, appeal judges decided the conviction was unsafe. DNA evidence They ruled that new evidence, in the form of timed and dated mobile phone photographs, dramatically undermined accusations that Mr Hallam had deliberately concocted a false alibi. But the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) rejected his application for compensation for miscarriage of justice in August 2014 on the grounds that the phone evidence had been partly, if not wholly, attributable to Mr Hallam himself. The MoJ said the new evidence did not show "beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Hallam did not commit the offence". Victor Nealon served 17 years of a life sentence for the attempted rape of a woman in Redditch in 1996. His conviction was quashed in 2013 after a DNA test pointed to "an unknown male" - not Nealon - as being the likely assailant. But in June 2014, the Ministry of Justice rejected his application on the grounds that the DNA analysis "did not show beyond reasonable doubt that the claimant did not commit the offence". Lord Justice Burnett and Mrs Justice Thirlwall dismissed their compensation cases. In a speech at a Washington DC university he said the agreement is publically supported by every country in the world, except for Israel. He described a forthcoming congressional vote on lifting sanctions as either a vote for war or for peace. Members of Congress have come under intense pressure from Israeli interest groups to reject the deal. Mr Obama described it as the "strongest non-proliferation agreement ever negotiated". He equated those who oppose the deal with the supporters of the American invasion of Iraq. "The same mindset, in many cases offered by the same people - who seem to have no compunction with being repeatedly wrong - led to a war that did more to strengthen Iran, more to isolate the United States, than anything we have done before or since." In a conference call arranged by a Jewish organisation on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected the notion that a vote against the deal is a vote for war. Instead, a vote for the deal would make war more likely, Mr Netanyahu argued. "It will spark a nuclear arms race in the region," Mr Netanyahu said. "And it would feed Iran's terrorism and aggression that would make war, perhaps the most horrific war of all, far more likely." "Peace is not the absence of conflict," Mr Obama said in his speech, quoting President Ronald Reagan. "It is the ability to cope with conflict by peaceful means." President John F Kennedy in 1963, spoke at the same Washington DC area university in support of diplomacy with the Soviet Union. The Iran deal is considered a signature achievement of Mr Obama's foreign policy legacy. He and his aides will work through the summer Congressional recess to convince lawmakers to confirm the deal. The nuclear deal calls for Iran to reduce its enrichment in exchange for the releasing of millions of dollars in frozen assets. Is there something you've always wanted to ask the people who make it?

Sixty percent of firms said volumes were up on a year ago, while 9% said they were down, giving a positive balance of 51%. And expectations for the year to June were even more optimistic, its survey of 134 businesses found. "Low inflation, which we expect to remain below 1% for the rest of the year, has given household incomes a much-needed boost and greater spending power," said Rain Newton-Smith, the CBI's director of economics. "Overall, the outlook is bright for firms on the High Street, but challenges still remain, especially for food retailers, who are still feeling the heat of stiff price competition from new entrants to the sector. "And investment plans have also taken a hit." Retailers expect sales volumes to grow again in the year to June, with 63% expecting them to rise and 4% to fall, the CBI said. Last week, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed that UK retail sales rose by 1.2% in April, the strongest increase since November, after the warm weather encouraged shoppers to buy summer clothes. Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, called the CBI's latest findings "a cracking survey" and said it indicated the pace of growth in the UK economy was accelerating. "It is looking increasingly likely that robust consumer spending will help the UK economy regain momentum in the second quarter after GDP growth moderated to just 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter. "We currently forecast second-quarter GDP growth to improve to 0.7% quarter-on-quarter." Melbourne Cup winner Mark Kavanagh was banned for three years and Danny O'Brien for four over the use of cobalt chloride, which exceeded permitted levels, according to Racing Victoria. Kavanagh, who won Australia's biggest race in 2009 with Shocking, and O'Brien are appealing against the verdicts. Vet Dr Tom Brennan was given a five-year ban. Four of O'Brien's horses and one trained by Kavanagh failed tests after urine samples were taken in 2014. "We have raised issues over how this whole process has played out over the last 12 months," O'Brien said. The trainers will appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, and were granted a stay of proceedings allowing their horses to run until Friday. A Racing Victoria statement said the governing body was "fully committed to enforcing the rules of racing and protecting the integrity of the sport". Peter Moody, trainer of the record-breaking sprinter Black Caviar, is still awaiting the verdict in a case centred on another of his horses. Daniel John Roch, 19, from Narberth died on 20 July 2014 following the incident at Talsarn motocross track near Lampeter. Coroner Peter Brunton concluded the teenager died as a result of misadventure. A post mortem found he sustained a fractured vertebra and skull. The inquest heard Mr Roch had been riding bikes since he was four-years-old and began competing at age seven. James Evans, a marshal at the event, told the inquest: "On the second lap I saw the quad flip up. The quad was airborne and landed vertically." Track and accident inspector, Stephen Murty, conducted an investigation following the death and found the surface was "expertly laid" but the gully where Mr Roach crashed was an "unnecessary hazard" that would "affect the fastest riders by the most margin". Mr Brunton said competitors would have been familiar with the gully as it had been present for around five years. He extended his sympathies to Mr Roch's family, describing his death as "the nightmare every parent dreads." Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told reporters those killed "in cold blood" included a six-month-old baby, a man and a woman. Reports said a police officer died from his wounds shortly after the incident. Another policeman was injured. The violence took place in the northern town of Roye, about 110km (70 miles) north of Paris. It is unclear what provoked the incident. Witnesses told the AFP news agency that a fight broke out in the camp and one of the men involved began shooting when police arrived at the scene. The gunman was said to be in a serious condition after being shot by police. The local Courrier Picard newspaper reported that security forces had sealed off the area. President Francois Hollande and Prime Minister Manuel Valls expressed shock over the incident. "My thoughts are with the families, with the victims and the policeman killed in the service of France," Mr Valls tweeted (in French). In a statement, Mr Hollande hailed the "courage and commitment" of the police officers who responded to the incident. Betsi Cadwaladr health board is looking at plans to downgrade services at one of the area's three district hospitals. In January, plans were approved to downgrade maternity care at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire. But managers backed down after an outcry which prompted the rethink at a health board meeting on Tuesday. The issues stemmed from a shortage of doctors. Health board medical director Prof Matthew Makin told the meeting: "There is a universal desire for the safety of mothers and babies - that's why we're all here. "Service change is seen as a threat and is particularly emotive. But we would not be proposing change unless we felt that the risks we are currently managing are becoming unmanageable. "Any change will be temporary and for as short a time as possible to stabilise the service." The health board's interim chief executive Simon Dean told BBC Radio Wales it had made 14 attempts to recruit doctors in the last nine month, saying the difficult past few years for the health board "may well be a factor". Mary Heard, 36, from Rhyl, Denbighshire, and her 10-week-old daughter, Aurelia, were in the meeting listening to the discussion. Speaking afterwards, she said she disagreed with the health board's preferred option to withdraw consultant-led care at Glan Clwyd Hospital. "All my three children were high-risk births. It meant a lot to me to have them at Glan Clwyd," she said. "My husband works and many of my family don't drive, so if I'd given birth elsewhere, I wouldn't have had anyone with me." Bosses still favour the option to downgrade services at Glan Clwyd Hospital - a plan which was challenged in court - and the board agreed at its meeting in Llandudno, Conwy county, to press ahead with a public consultation on that and other plans. This could mean withdrawing doctor-led maternity care at Bangor or Wrexham or there could be no change so consultant-led care would remain at all three hospitals. On Sunday, Mr Dean said maternity units in north Wales have previously been forced to temporarily shut over safety fears for mothers and babies. Critics of the plan say expectant mothers needing care from doctors would be put at greater risk by having to travel further. The British Medical Association and politicians have also been highly critical of the health board for not seeking the views of staff and the public in drawing up its plans. A final decision will be taken in November after the consultation closes. Wanda Campbell, 43, of Auchenmalg near Newton Stewart, was convicted at Dumfries Sheriff Court last November. She was found guilty of acting with others to take the money from James Haugh Castle Douglas between March 2012 and October 2013. She was jailed and ordered to pay compensation of £110,000. Campbell's appeal was heard by Lord Brodie and Lord Drummond Young at the High Court in Edinburgh. Her trial had been told that the money had been transferred to Campbell to be kept safe and used as cash flow for the business. However, she started spending the money as soon as she received it. The business went into liquidation the day before her trial started in September 2016. In Wales this year for instance, Aberystwyth gave honorary fellowships to Alex Jones, presenter of the BBC's The One Show, Hollywood actor Michael Sheen and the Times columnist, novelist and prolific tweeter Caitlin Moran. On Cardiff University's roll of honorary fellows are Stephen Fry and TV presenters Fiona Phillips and Carol Vorderman. Swansea University has given honorary degrees to the actress Ruth Madoc and Wales rugby winger Shane Williams, while opera singer Bryn Terfel has received an honorary doctorate from Bangor University. The institutions say they are keen to pay tribute to leading names in the sporting, showbiz and political worlds who have shown "excellence and dedication in their fields". But Nick Seaton, secretary for the Campaign for Real Education, which aims to raise standards in education, said he believed they were more a sign of our "celebrity-obsessed" culture. "I think to a certain extent it devalues the work of the youngsters who put in three to four years of solid work to get a degree," he added. ABERYSTWYTH UNIVERSITY: Caitlin Moran, Alex Jones, Michael Sheen - honorary fellows BANGOR UNIVERSITY: Bryn Terfel - honorary doctorate; Duffy, Sian Lloyd - honorary fellows CARDIFF UNIVERSITY: Stephen Fry, Carol Vorderman, Martyn Williams - honorary fellows SWANSEA UNIVERSITY: Katherine Jenkins, Shane Williams - honorary degrees SWANSEA UNIVERSITY, SWANSEA METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY, ROYAL WELSH COLLEGE OF MUSIC AND DRAMA: Ruth Madoc - honorary degree and fellowship "No matter who you are or who you know, to give them away without a solid background of work doesn't seem quite right." So why exactly do universities award honorary degrees and fellowships - and is it fair that they are given to the famous? Cardiff University said it worked hard to ensure it maintains a long-term relationship with those it honours. "We try to distinguish between honorary fellowships and honorary degrees as we're aware that 4-5,000 students are in our graduation ceremonies each year and they have put in years of work to get a degree," said Louise Casella, director of strategic development. "So we only give honorary degrees to people with real academic integrity. "We are more likely to give honorary fellowships and that is about building long-term relationships with people who we invite to become part of the university and who have achieved excellence in a lifetime of work. "For example, Stephen Fry became patron of our neuroscience and mental health institute after he received his honorary fellowship." She said students and staff were asked to nominate people they believe deserved a university honour, and they typically get about 80 to 90 suggestions each year. The names are discussed by a committee represented by about 10 to 12 people from across the university who whittle them down to a shortlist. They are then confirmed by the university governing council. "We tend to look for criteria such as whether someone is a very eminent academic, or it might be someone who has come to the end of a distinguished career, like Martyn Williams this year," she said. "We look for a Welsh connection or a Cardiff connection or a strong interest in the work we do. "Stephen Fry was made a fellow as he had shown a lot of interest in the work done at the university with depression and mental health issues." TV presenter Fiona Phillips, who was made an honorary fellow of Cardiff University in 2011 for her work to raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease, said she felt it was important to maintain a relationship with the institution. "I was given an honorary degree by Southampton Solent University for my work in the media but they have never asked me to be involved there at all," she said. "I thought they would get me down there to mentor students and lecture as they have a very good media department there, so you think what was that about? "But I felt honoured to get a fellowship at Cardiff - if you're making a contribution that's fine. "In Cardiff I'm involved with them in an ongoing relationship as they do a lot of Alzheimer's research." Actress Ruth Madoc, who has been honoured by Swansea University, Swansea Metropolitan and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, said she felt it was right for people in showbusiness to be recognised. "I think it's a good example for people to see that we are being honoured for having a long career, even if you haven't got a degree," she said. "I go back for the graduation ceremonies when I can and it's lovely." Stephanie Lloyd, the NUS Wales president, said students accept that an honorary degree was "different from a bachelor's in English literature or a master's in chemistry". "We should commend universities that honour people who've reached the top of their field, sometimes without any formal higher education," she added. The deal was signed in the presence of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. He said he hoped it would bring "an era of peace and stability" to the region. As many as 800,000 people have been displaced since the March 23 rebel group took up arms against the Kinshasa government last May. "It is only the beginning of a comprehensive approach that will require sustained engagement," Mr Ban said. The agreement, signed by leaders and representatives of 11 countries of the Great Lakes region, may lead to the establishment of a special UN intervention brigade in eastern DR Congo, along with political efforts to bring peace. An initial attempt to get the peace agreement signed last month was called off at the last minute. Leaders from Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo Republic and South Sudan attended the signing. The M23 rebels say they want to improve living conditions for the people of eastern DR Congo, but the UN says they are supported by Rwanda, which has been heavily involved in its eastern neighbour since those responsible for the country's genocide fled there en masse in 1994. Bosco Ntaganda, who is accused of being one of the M23 leaders, was an officer in the Rwandan army before he left to join a rebel movement in DR Congo. The ICC accuses him of using child soldiers and the UN says he controls several mines in the east of the country. The group briefly seized control of the city of Goma last November after carving out an area for themselves in North Kivu province. DR Congo's government and rebels have been holding talks in Uganda aimed at reaching an agreement on a range of issues. In January, the rebels declared a unilateral ceasefire. An earlier attempt to reach a deal collapsed in December after the group accused President Joseph Kabila of failing to honour a deal to integrate rebels into the army. The region's mineral riches have been plundered by numerous groups and countries over the past 15 years and little has been spent on DR Congo's infrastructure. The station gained 737,000 listeners in the last quarter, thanks in part to new presenters Clara Amfo and Annie Mac. Breakfast DJ Nick Grimshaw also increased his weekly reach by 344,000 to 5.84 million. BBC Radio 2 remains the most listened to station in the UK, with 15.14 million tuning in. In total, 48 million UK adults - or 89% of the adult population - tuned in to the radio every week between April and June, Rajar said. Helen Boaden, Director of BBC Radio, said: "Radio is frequently underestimated so it's wonderful to see the whole market growing this quarter." Radio 1's recovery will be welcome news to the station's bosses. Results for the first three months of 2015 showed the station's audience dropping to its lowest level for more than a decade - at 9.7 million listeners. At the time, Grimshaw had 5.5 million listeners, his lowest audience since succeeding Chris Moyles in 2012, and the breakfast show's smallest audience since 2003, when Sara Cox was at the end of her tenure. The next set of Rajar figures will measure the impact of Apple's Beats 1 radio station, which poached Zane Lowe from Radio 1, along with several of the station's producers. Apple told the BBC it had signed up 11 million people to its Apple Music service since it launched on 30 June. That compares with 75 million active users on Spotify, 16 million on Deezer and 770,000 on Tidal. "We're thrilled with the numbers so far," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of internet software and services. However, it remains to be seen how Apple's user base will change when the free, three-month trial period ends and it introduces a monthly subscription fee of £9.99. The Luther star's production company, Green Door Pictures, will collaborate with BBC Three on the films from new writers. Established names will work alongside new actors for the series. BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh vowed the channel, which goes online next month, would be bold, British and creative. He has a budget of £30m a year for creative ideas, he said at an event to launch the new-look channel. Elba, widely considered to have been overlooked for an Oscars nomination for his role in Beasts of No Nation, said: "I'm looking forward to working with BBC Three and giving new writers and actors a chance to show what they can do." Kavanagh said the short films, made in conjunction with BBC Drama in-house, would be set in London, featuring "chance encounters between two people". New programmes for the channel also include Clique, focusing on two friends starting university in Edinburgh, magic show Life Hacks with Ben Hart and Unsolved: The Boy who Disappeared which tells the true story of the disappearance of a teenager two decades ago. BBC Three programmes including Stacey Dooley Investigates and Life and Death Row will still be available when the switchover happens on 16 February. Kavanagh said: "We're reinventing our offer for young people and this is just the start. We will be bold, we will be British and we will be creative." The channel is introducing two new formats for online - The Daily Drop, home to a stream of daily content, and The Best Of, bringing together original long-form programmes and new content, including short films. BBC director general Tony Hall said: "We are the first broadcaster in the world to work out what it's going to be like in this on-demand world. "This is new and let's be clear, it's also risky, but risky in the way it should be risky because if we don't take risks, who's going to?" He applauded BBC Three for making programmes that "provoke such strong reactions" and emphasised the importance of finding new talent. "I want people to look back on the new BBC Three as being the place that spotted the next James Corden, the next Aidan Turner, the next Sheridan Smith," he said. Switchover night will include the first episode of Cuckoo, the first film from the new series of Life and Death Row, and Live from the BBC, featuring new British comedians. Content will be available on iPlayer and BBC Three's new online home. Two minutes before the break, Yeovil went close as Akpa Akpro's goalbound effort was superbly blocked by Dean Wells. But the forward did get his name on the scoresheet on the stroke of half-time as he volleyed home Otis Khan's cross. Stevenage were level eight minutes after half-time when McQuoid tapped home from close-range after a corner was not cleared. Boro were on top and Steve Schumacher then forced Jonny Maddison into a good low save before the Yeovil goalkeeper parried Jobi McAnuff's powerful drive. At the other end, Akpro robbed Jack King of the ball before squaring it to Francois Zoko, but the striker's flicked finish crept agonisingly wide. Tom Pett's shot was parried as Stevenage searched for a winner. With seven minutes left, Maddison made another crucial stop from substitute Jamie Gray after he was put through one-on-one, but Stevenage had to settle for a draw which leaves them one place and one point outside the play-offs.

The son of the actor Rex Harrison, he was best known for recording the hit song The Windmills Of Your Mind on The Thomas Crown Affair soundtrack. It won best song at the 1968 Oscars and was later covered by artists including Dusty Springfield. Harrison spent much of his life in America, as an actor and performer, but moved back to the UK in the last decade or so to live in South Devon. He once said, of recording The Windmills Of Your Mind: "It didn't seem like a big deal at the time. I went to the studio one afternoon and sang it and pretty much forgot about it." Harrison continued: "I didn't realise until later what a timeless, beautiful piece Michel LeGrand and the Bergmans had written. It turned out to be my most notable piece of work." After moving to the US, he starred in the TV series The Girl from UNCLE and had chart hits with A Young Girl and Suzanne, by Leonard Cohen. On his website he wrote: "I was part of the 'British Invasion' spearheaded by The Beatles. I bought a nice house in Los Angeles. "There was another US charts record and four years of endless TV appearances, theatre tours and star-studded social occasions." However he revealed he "didn't like being a celebrity" and spent his sixties mixing performing with construction work before moving back to the UK, adding, "I was well out of the goldfish bowl and I liked it." Harrison was born in London on 29 January 1934, to Rex Harrison and his mother, Collette Thomas, the first of six Mrs Rex Harrisons. They later divorced and he lived in Bude, Cornwall, with his mother's parents before she took him to live in the Swiss Alps at 15. Harrison never went to school again but indulged his passion for ski-racing instead, becoming British champion in 1953. He was married three times and had children and grandchildren from his first two marriages. An admirer of Jacques Brel, Harrison created a one-man musical, Adieu, Jacques in the 1980s and, in 2002, released an album of songs from the show. Harrison played Glastonbury Festival's Spirit of '71 stage in 2011, marking 40 years since his first appearance at the festival.

Singer Noel Harrison has died at his home in Devon, aged 79.

More transparency is needed about the "complex" way decisions are made at the Council of the European Union, the European Scrutiny Committee said. They want to gauge how much legislation "is simply nodded through" by ministers after talks between officials. The government said it was "fully committed to high levels of transparency in EU decision-making". A Foreign Office spokesman added: "That's why we pushed for and recently secured a greater role for national parliaments in scrutinising EU legislative proposals." Along with the European Parliament, the Council of the EU is the organisation's main decision-making body. In its report, the European Scrutiny Committee said the process for agreement at the Council was complex, could involve discussions by one of 150 working groups at the official level and at the ambassadorial level - Coreper - before being agreed by ministers. It recognised that progress had been made in increasing the information available about the final outcome of negotiations between ministers. But they said it was "still very unclear how those decisions are reached", with some having to be agreed by consensus after years of difficult discussions "mostly at official level". Former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, who is campaigning for Britain to leave the EU, told the committee that decision-making by consensus meant that the process was one of "trying to stop really bad things happening and damage reduction". But one of his predecessors in the role, Labour's Dame Margaret Beckett, who backs the EU Remain campaign, told the committee that she had never agreed to a measure that she thought "on balance, was in any way against the interest of our country" and said Qualified Majority Voting had allowed the UK government to advance its interests. Committee chairman Sir Bill Cash, a leading Eurosceptic, said: "UK citizens should be fully informed and given the facts as to how the 55% of EU laws which govern them are made. "Many UK laws and measures include obligations derived from EU law. The bulk of decisions on such laws are made by officials and then nodded through by ministers. "There is no information on how those decisions are reached, including who has had to compromise and at what price. Over 50% of decisions are agreed by consensus, which means policy differences can be invisible to the electorate." The committee urged the government to "take action" to make more information available to the UK Parliament and to take a lead in the EU by "making public statements of the reason for its vote more frequently".

Ministers should "lift the lid" on the way decisions are made by one of the EU's main bodies, MPs say.

The 19-year-old from Scotland finished 14th in the 3m preliminaries to reach the semi-finals and claim British Diving's 11th Olympic berth. China are the only other nation to claim places in all 11 events so far. On Tuesday, Matty Lee and James Denny will bid for the one remaining place - in the men's individual 10m platform. Former British diver Yona Knight-Wisdom, who switched to Jamaican nationality in time to compete at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, claimed a historic silver in the men's individual 3m springboard final. It was his new nation's first-ever World Cup medal and Leeds-based Knight-Wisdom, 20, is set to become Jamaica's first-ever male Olympic diver this summer. His score of 459.25 was a new lifetime best and was only bettered by Mexico's Rommel Pacheco Marrufo (504.40), with American Kristian Ipsen (457.60) taking bronze. World champion He Choa of China was sixth, whilst GB's Freddie Woodward exited at the semi-final stages, having already secured GB an Olympic berth on Sunday. Rory McIlroy is the latest player to opt out of the event over fears of the mosquito-borne virus, which has links to brain defects in newborn babies. "Family for me is priority number one," said 28-year-old Australian Day, who has two young children. "I've got to make sure they're happy, then probably I'll make the decision." Find out how to get into golf with our special guide. Day said he respected McIlroy's decision, adding: "It's a tough one going from trying to represent your country and trying to win a gold medal but also understanding that it's a life decision that you have to make just in case there's a small percentage that it will happen. "He is looking at getting married soon, and obviously looking to start a family. I'm past that, but also looking to have some more babies." Fiji's Vijay Singh and Australia's Marc Leishman have already pulled out of the games because of the Zika issue, while major winners Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen have chosen not to appear for scheduling and family reasons. The World Health Organization (WHO) insists there is a "very low risk" of the Zika virus spreading globally as a result of holding the Olympics in Brazil. BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter: While McIlroy's concerns over the risk to his and his family's health should be respected, his withdrawal provides worries for the credibility of golf's return to the Games. With Leishman and Singh also steering clear because of Zika fears and Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel staying away for scheduling reasons, the list of absentees is growing. There will now be close attention on world number one Jason Day and Masters champion Danny Willett. Both have expressed Zika concerns. If golf has a higher proportion of Rio absentees than other sports, questions over whether it should have been readmitted to the Games will grow louder. A judge upheld Boris Johnson's decision to intervene in the Norton Folgate development in east London. Tower Hamlets Council had rejected the proposals after receiving 550 objections from individuals. But Mr Justice Gilbart said Mr Johnson's comments during the case "warm the cockles of my heart". Mr Johnson won the case even though errors were made in the planning process of the development. As he handed down his judgment, Mr Gilbart said he would "never forget" reading a transcript of the mayor's comments during one meeting. Without going into detail, the judge remarked: "It warms the cockles of my heart." In January, Boris Johnson bypassed the council and used his powers to intervene, announcing he intended to grant both planning permission for the development and listed building consent. In a bid to block the development, the Spitalfields Historic Buildings Trust asked the High Court to rule the mayor had acted unlawfully because statutory criteria governing the use of his powers were not met. But Mr Justice Gilbart's decision has cleared the way for seven buildings, comprising mainly office space with retail units and 45 residential flats, to be built. The judge dismissed the trust's application and refused permission to appeal. The trust later said it was considering asking judges of the Court of Appeal to intervene. This story has been corrected after it previously said the decision was related to the Bishopsgate Goodyard development. Back in June 2008, as the founder and boss of Virgin Wines, he was trying to lead a management buyout from its then-parent group Direct Wines. "I got called into a meeting, I thought it was to discuss the purchase price," says Mr Gormley, now 54. "Instead, a letter was pushed across the table to me, which said I was being dismissed. "I immediately walked out of the room and tried to use my [company] mobile phone, but it had been barred while I had been in the meeting." Mr Gormley says he immediately decided that as buying back Virgin Wines was now impossible, he would instead set up a rival business. But he faced a race against time to get key staff to leave with him. "I went across the road to a shop and bought another telephone as quickly as I could," he says. "I phoned the office, and the guy I spoke to said, 'oh my God, there is an army of people here trying to get us to sign bits of paper saying we are not going to talk to you, and all sorts of things.' "So I gave him a list of 17 people and said, 'tell these 17 not to sign anything.'" Thankfully for Mr Gormley, the staff that he most wanted to keep decided to follow him out the door, and six months later he launched his new venture - Naked Wines. Today he is the boss of both Naked Wines and fellow UK wine retailer Majestic Wine, which have combined annual sales of more than £300m. "I think I was sacked because of a clash of personalities, or perhaps egos, but it was honestly the best thing that ever happened to me," says Mr Gormley. "Otherwise Naked would never have happened, nor would I have gone on to also lead Majestic." Born and bred in South Africa, Mr Gormley says he first became interested in wine as a teenager. But before he started selling it in his late 30s, he spent almost two decades working in finance. After going to university in Cape Town, he trained as an accountant, and moved to the UK in his mid-20s. Mr Gormley then worked in private equity for seven years before joining Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group. It was Mr Gormley's idea for Sir Richard to move into offering financial services, and Virgin Money was born in 1995. Five years later Mr Gormley said he came up with the idea for Virgin Wines, saying he recognised the opportunity of selling wine via the then-still nascent internet. "I pitched the idea to the Virgin guys but they weren't very excited about it. So I started just selling wine at nights and weekends with my brother and friend to prove that it worked," he says, "and six months later Virgin Wines was born." But he says he and Virgin Wines immediately "made all the classic dotcom mistakes". "We did everything wrong - we had a flash London headquarters, a huge IT office, a big advertising campaign, and absolutely nothing worked." Ultimately, Mr Gormley says that for Virgin Wines to survive it had to cut its workforce by 90%, "retreat to Norwich with our tails between our legs", and start again from the very bottom. In addition to cutting costs, Mr Gormley says he turned around the company by focusing on selling interesting wines from small producers instead of selling the same big brands that people could buy from the supermarkets. By the time he and his team had managed to make Virgin Wines profitable, it was sold to larger UK firm Direct Wines in 2005, only for Mr Gormley to be sacked three years later. At Naked, Mr Gormley's big idea was to encourage customers to become "angels", who pay a direct debit of £20 a month, in exchange for getting wine at reduced prices. Naked then uses this money to pay independent wine producers in advance, so that they can focus all their energies on making the wine instead of worrying about being able to sell it. Winemakers are also profiled extensively on Naked's website (it is an online only operation), and customers are encouraged to review each wine, including saying whether they would buy it again. To drive sales the company gave away free samples, and today it has more than 320,000 angels. Such has been the growth of the business since it was founded in 2008 that it was bought in 2015 by wine giant Majestic for £70m. The deal made Mr Gormley many millions, but instead of retiring to count his cash, he was given the top job at Majestic, and tasked with turning around its fortunes after three years of poor sales and weak profits at its UK stores and website. Mr Gormley's action plan has seen him focus on raising staffing levels at Majestic's 211 UK shops to try to boost both customer service and staff morale, and allowing customers to buy just one bottle of wine rather than the previous minimum order of six. "Majestic has to offer better service, and give people the type of help and advice that they don't get in a supermarket," he says. While the company is still struggling to make a profit, and an expansion into the US has not been successful, group sales are now rising strongly again. Retail analyst Jonathan Pritchard of stockbrokerage Peel Hunt says he would score Mr Gormley's first two years leading Majestic as "eight out of 10". He adds: "He is a fabulous entrepreneur, and a very good presenter - he is excellent at getting his message across - but there have been a few bumps in the road since he took over." UK wine journalists have mixed opinions. The Daily Mail's Olly Smith says Mr Gormley is "something of a visionary and powerhouse in connecting wine directly with consumers", but Jamie Goode from the Wine Anorak blog complains that the pre-discount prices at Naked are too high. Mr Gormley says his focus is always on selling enjoyable wines. "I don't regard myself as having a great palate, but I consider that to be an advantage," he says. "Too many people who are really into wine see their tastes become so esoteric and refined that normal people don't like what they drink. I'm not like that at all." Follow The Boss series editor Will Smale on Twitter @WillSmale1 The incident happened in the second half of last Friday's Heineken Cup match at Franklin's Gardens, which Ulster won 25-6. The Saints skipper was cited after the match and pleaded guilty to the charge. Hartley, 26, will now miss the return game against Ulster on 15 December and the home Premiership fixture against leaders Harlequins a week later. The ban was imposed at a disciplinary hearing in Dublin on Thursday. Earlier this year, the England hooker was banned for eight weeks after being cited for biting Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris during a Six Nations clash at Twickenham. And Hartley was banned for 26 weeks in April 2007 after being found guilty of gouging the eyes of Wasps players James Haskell and Jonny O'Connor. However, a European Rugby Cup statement said judicial officer Roger Morris had determined that the incident against Ulster was at the "low-end entry point" for offences committed under law 10.4 (a), which covers striking or punching an opponent, Striking offences deemed to be in the mid-range carry a five-week suspension, while anyone guilty of a top-end offence can receive a ban of anything from eight and 52 weeks. Speaking following the incident Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder told BBC Radio Northampton: "He's our captain and our talisman and it's a frustration to lose him. "But it's competitive. He's come up against an old adversary in Rory Best and although it wasn't a massive incident, it was something. "It's playing on the edge, but not going over it, and it's something all the players have to learn." Hartley will be free to play again from Christmas Eve but Northampton do not have a fixture until the Premiership match at Saracens on 30 December. Declan Thomson fell ill at a house in the North Lanarkshire town in the early hours of Sunday morning. He died in Monklands Hospital later that day. Police said his death was unexplained. It is believed they are looking into whether it was drugs-related. A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out to establish how he died. A 17-year-old woman was arrested and is expected to appear at Airdrie Sheriff Court on Wednesday in connection with alleged drugs offences. Two males, both aged 15, have been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged drugs offences. A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "An 18-year-old man was admitted to Monklands and District General Hospital at around 0230 hours on Sunday 3 April 2016 after becoming unwell at a house in Cumbernauld. He died within hospital later that day. "The death is being treated as unexplained, however, a post-mortem will be carried out in due course to establish the exact cause of death. "A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal." Mr Thomson's brother, Dean, died last year aged 19. Posting on Facebook, their mother Linda Ann Thomson, said: "Never forget the days U were born now I will never forget the days we had to say goodbye to U both. "Me and Dec were sooo close. My heart has now been broken twice. "My heart goes out to my poor Anthony I love all my boys loads and will never ever B forgotten my 2 lovely angels xxxx." More than 100 were wounded in the attack, which hit the funeral of one of five people killed when police fired on a march against deteriorating security. The chief executive of Afghanistan, Abdullah Abdullah, survived the attack. The latest violence comes as much of Kabul is in lockdown and amid popular anger at the government. Officials had warned people to stay away from demonstrations, saying they might be attacked by militants. Checkpoints have been set up in central Kabul, and armoured vehicles are patrolling the streets. In a televised address, Mr Abdullah said three suicide bombers were among the mourners attending the funeral of a senator's son who was killed in Friday's protest. He said that an investigation must determine how the attack happened. No group has said it was behind it and the Taliban denied their involvement. President Ashraf Ghani said on Twitter: "The country is under attack. We must be strong and united." He later said: "We must not let ourselves fall into the trap that the enemies have spread to our country." Rahmatullah Begana, who was at the funeral, said the first explosion went off at the start of the ceremony. "A few minutes later, there was another explosion. I saw a lot of people on the ground covered with blood," he said. Another witness told AFP news agency that "people were blown to pieces". Kabul has now had three deadly incidents in four days. Residents are still reeling from the aftermath of the huge suicide attack which killed over 90 people earlier this week. Anger at the government for not doing more to prevent that attack led to protests on Friday. Now the funeral of one of those victims has been targeted, presumably by a militant group. A number of high-profile politicians were present at the funeral today. The fact that even they are not immune to the rising violence shows the scale of the threat in the city. Kabul was once considered the most secure part of Afghanistan. Now it seems the most dangerous. Friday's protest followed a bomb attack on Wednesday which killed 90 people in the city's diplomatic district. Afghan intelligence officials have blamed the Haqqani network, a Taliban affiliate with alleged links to Pakistan. The Taliban denied any role and there has been no comment from so-called Islamic State militants, who are usually quick to claim attacks. More than a third of Afghanistan is now said to be outside government control. The US has about 8,400 troops in Afghanistan, while another 5,000 from Nato allies are in the country. Australia, the reigning champions in both competitions, will host the events, with the finals being played back-to-back on 2 December in Brisbane. Australia, England, Canada, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea are already sure of places at the women's tournament. Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands will compete for the final place in the Pacific qualifying series in October. The tournament's CEO, Andrew Hill, said it was a "game-changer" for the sport. "It has always been the board's vision to have the Women's Rugby League World Cup played concurrently with the men's tournament," he added. "We have been able to create what is a milestone moment for the sport." Hormel Foods, which also owns Wholly Guacamole, bought the brand from Anglo-Dutch food giant Unilever. It said that Skippy's 11 varieties of peanut butter would "strengthen our global presence, and should be a useful complement to our sales strategy in China for the Spam family of products". Skippy has been around since 1932 and has annual sales of $370m. The deal includes Unilever's Skippy manufacturing facilities in Little Rock, Arkansas and in the Shandong province of China. Hormel chairman Jeffrey Ettinger said that in the US, peanut butter was the second-most popular sandwich ingredient after ham, and added that Skippy would help Hormel "to grow our branded presence in the centre of the store with a non-meat protein product". The peanut butter brand is available in 30 countries. Unilever manufactures a wide range of products, from Dove soaps to Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Kees Kruythoff, president of Unilever North America, said: "Skippy is an iconic brand with presence all around the world. As we continue to sharpen our portfolio to deliver sustainable growth for Unilever, we believe that the potential of the Skippy brand can now be more fully realised with Hormel Foods." Lange will return to the role she played in London during 2000, for which she was nominated for an Olivier Award. She will play Mary Tyrone, a matriarch addicted to morphine, opposite Irish actor Gabriel Byrne next year. This is her third appearance in New York's theatre district, said the Roundabout Theatre Company. The 66-year-old previously starred in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire in 1992 and The Glass Menagerie in 2005. The play, widely considered to be a 20th Century American classic, will start previews on 31 March and open to the public on 19 April, said the company. Lange, originally from Minnesota, won an Oscar for best actress in 1994 when she appeared opposite Tommy Lee Jones in Blue Sky, a period drama about a family moving to a military base. She also picked up an Academy Award for supporting actress in 1983 for Tootsie, when she starred opposite Dustin Hoffman. The Local Government Ombudsman ruled Coventry City Council abused its safeguarding powers to carry out what the company's director calls a "witch-hunt". The ombudsman delivered a rare finding of "maladministration with injustice". The council said it had carried out the ombudsman's recommendations. John Kavanagh, a director of Open Doors, a charitable company that provides housing support for disabled people, said the firm had brought three complaints against the council about the abuse. These were upheld by the ombudsman. "Up until 2006 we had an excellent relationship with the council but then there was a change of management in social services," he said. "After that, we noticed some examples of poor practice and we sought to speak to them about it." Mr Kavanagh said he had met the head of social services and councillors. "From that point, when we stuck our heads above the parapet, things started to go downhill," he said. "The council had been our major source of referrals but since 2006, we haven't had one referral to date from them. We were blackballed." The ombudsman found the council's actions against Mr Kavanagh amounted to "an unreasonable campaign". "We were subject to an all-out witch-hunt," Mr Kavanagh said. "The council invested huge resources in pursuing this campaign against us. "There were more than 20 meetings and seven safeguarding investigations. "This was all happening at the same time as Daniel Pelka was tragically being tortured and killed. "Ultimately Coventry needs to be held accountable. So far, I've had a half-hearted, mealy-mouthed apology." In March 2014, the council's children's services were branded inadequate by Ofsted, two years after the death of four-year-old Daniel In a letter to Mr Kavangah, the council's chief executive Martin Reeves wrote: "I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to you for the mistreatment you have received from the council." In a statement, the council said: "We have implemented the recommendations to the ombudsman's satisfaction. "Unfortunately, we are unable to comment further." Michael King, the ombudsman's executive director, said: "While we cannot comment on the specific nature of this particular investigation, I am pleased to confirm that the council has satisfied the recommendations that we have made. "The law requires us to maintain the privacy of everybody involved in our investigations, and so our decisions are anonymised. The 29-year-old, who is currently assistant conductor at the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will be the only woman to lead a UK orchestra. Her appointment makes London's orchestras look "stale and middle-aged," said critic Norman Lebrecht. Replacing Andris Nelsons, Grazinyte-Tyla becomes the CBSO's chief conductor with effect from September 2016. The Lithuanian musician made her debut with the orchestra in July 2015 and impressed the players so much that she was invited back last month to conduct a specially-arranged concert featuring works by Debussy, Schumann and Sibelius. Reviewing the performance, The Guardian wrote: "She communicated something wonderfully alive and detailed to the players... [This was] a performance with fresh, clear textures and an unswerving sense of shape." Grazinyte-Tyla told BBC Radio 3's In Tune she was offered the job shortly afterwards. Announcing her appointment, the orchestra's chief executive, Stephen Maddock, said Grazinyte-Tyla had established "an instant chemistry" with the orchestra. "Mirga is 29 and is thrilling audiences wherever she goes," he added. "We can't wait to start making music with her." The conductor, a protege of Gustavo Dudamel, told the BBC: "I had the feeling, with the CBSO, it didn't matter which direction you would look, they are open to every impulse. It is a huge gift for a conductor. "I believe we will be a great team and really look forward to making music together." The CBSO is known for its spotting and promoting young talent. Its previous music directors include Sir Simon Rattle, who was appointed at just 25 years old, and Sakari Oramo, who is now with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Grazinyte-Tyla's immediate predecessor, Andris Nelsons, now leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra. "My time with the orchestra will always be very special to me and I am sure Mirga will also be inspired by the wonderful musical family of the CBSO," he said. Nelsons left prematurely in summer 2015, and recent months have seen several potential replacements perform with the orchestra in concerts that doubled as thinly-veiled auditions. The daughter of two musicians, Grazinyte-Tyla went to school in Vilnius, Lithuania, and studied voice. "As a teenager, I thought singing might be an interesting option," she told the LA Times last year. "Then, in the last years at school, we started to work with a choir and orchestra. I was loving it - being with the music and people at the same time." She pursued her studies in Zurich, Leipzig and Bologna, eventually graduating with a bachelor's degree in choral and orchestral conducting from the University of Music and Fine Arts, Graz, Austria. In 2012, she won Salzburg's young conductor competition in 2012; and was last year appointed musical director of the Salzburg Landestheater. Among her conducting credits to date are appearances with the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Berlin's Komische Oper and the Kremerata Baltica. The LA Times described her as "a natural leader and a musical force of nature" after her 2014 debut with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. "Her conducting style is striking. Standing erectly with her legs apart and stationary, she operates from her upper body, vivaciously waving her arms as though corralling the musicians," wrote Mark Swed. "My guess is that before long she will be known simply as 'Mirga'." Full details of the musician's opening season with the CBSO will be announced in April. Although she will be the UK's only female music director, she will not be the first. Marin Alsop previously held the post at the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, as did JoAnn Falletta with the Ulster Orchestra. It follows news that hundreds of youth coaches and officials have been debarred for failing to complete regulatory checks. David Little, head of the Scottish Youth Football Association, said a backlog of vetting had been completed. But he told MSPs that 488 people had been automatically debarred. This was because they had not submitted an application to the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme. The suspended coaches and officials would previously only have had access to children under supervision from PVG-approved officials, Mr Little told members of the Scottish Parliament's Health and Sport Committee. There are more than 15,000 volunteer coaches and officials who help run 39 SYFA leagues and coach 60,000 young players. Tam Baillie, Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that a lack of funding and engagement from the Scottish Football Association was contributing to the problem. He said: "What we've got is an organisation which is effectively run on a shoestring, trying to cope with an enormous number of PVG checks. "I understand that they're now in discussion with Disclosure Scotland and I welcome those moves, but you need to take a step back here in terms of overall governance of our game and question why the SYFA have got so few resources to administer what is an important part of [football]. "The PVG checks are only as good as the information that is fed into them. There are key things about the culture and the approach that we take to our children and young people. I've been quite heavily involved with the SFA and professional football clubs and I've found that wanting, to be honest. "The higher up the levels that you go in football, the more money is the driving force and, in my experience, that's at the expense of the best interests of children and young people." The SYFA set a deadline of 28 February to clear a backlog of about 950 applications. David Little told MSPs that a further 1,170 were now being processed after an influx in applications for next season. Mr Little said later: "We said late last year that clubs which do not expedite these compulsory checks would lose their member status and that those volunteers without a PVG certificate would be placed under a precautionary suspension. It is encouraging that the overwhelming majority of clubs take these responsibilities extremely seriously, but those that have not complied have now been suspended from all competitions. "It is disappointing that we have been forced to suspend these 18 clubs, but player safety is our number one priority and we were determined to ensure that a strong signal was sent out across the country that these standards are non-negotiable. "A total of 488 volunteer officials who have not completed PVG checks within three months of joining a club have been placed under precautionary suspension until such time as their checks are complete." He added: "It is a key principle of SYFA membership that, until they have been cleared by the Disclosure Scotland process, volunteers joining clubs are only allowed to participate in activities under the direct supervision of a PVG-checked coach or official, of which there are more than 15,400 registered with the SYFA." When asked how long they were coaching in the SYFA before they were suspended, Mr Little said: "That would vary from official to official. They would have had access (to children) only via supervision." The Holyrood session on child protection in sport follows allegations of historical abuse in football. Police Scotland is investigating and the SFA has set up an independent review. Last month, Disclosure Scotland, which runs the PVG scheme, told MSPs the SYFA turned down an offer of help to clear the backlog of checks. SFA chief executive Stewart Regan told the committee his organisation had also offered to help. He said: "Back in February 2015, we offered support on child protection matters to the SYFA which was rejected at the time in favour of further financial support." Mr Little said: "I think at this particular stage we're trying to get the ability to bring more volunteers in to do more of the work (process applications). "It would certainly assist if we had the ability to increase staff. The help that was on offer was in respect of the checking of the forms at meetings. "With all due respect, that wasn't the assistance we required at that particular time. We've since had meetings with Disclosure Scotland where we've spoken about training and process." MPs on the Home Affairs Select Committee are investigating the government's handling of a crackdown on student visa fraud. And after ministers lost a major test case, the committee chair Yvette Cooper has called on the Home Secretary Amber Rudd to explain "as a matter of urgency" how a backlog of cases will be handled. Bangladeshi student Sharif Majumder, who was one of tens of thousands accused of having faked a mandatory English language test, won his challenge after the Home Office could not produce crucial evidence. Mr Majumder was caught up in a crackdown triggered by a Panorama investigation that showed mass cheating at two test centres approved to stage an exam called the Test of English for International Communication or TOEIC. Undercover footage showed entire classrooms of registered candidates standing aside so their written and oral tests could be done by paid cheats who spoke better English. The answers were recorded on computer and sent to be marked in the US by a company called ETS, which failed to detect the same voices appearing numerous times under different names. In a multiple-choice paper, an invigilator was secretly filmed reading out the answers to those sitting the test. Until the BBC exposed these abuses in 2014, foreign students could use a TOEIC pass to show they had the required standard of English to qualify for a visa. When the then Home Secretary Theresa May was shown the BBC's footage, she said: "'What Panorama has uncovered is extremely important. It's very shocking and I want to do something about it." The TOEIC was dropped from the list of exams recognised for visa applications and a criminal investigation was launched. On Tuesday this week four people who featured in the Panorama programme were convicted of immigration offences and sentenced to between three and eight years in prison. A fifth person, Chowdhury Baker Habib, pleaded guilty, admitting he had sat the test for others "30 to 40 times". We can now also report that four other people who were also exposed by Panorama were convicted in May. Jurors heard evidence that inspectors found spreadsheets with the names of more than 1,000 candidates whose TOEIC exams were faked at the two test centres where the BBC filmed. In the months after Panorama was broadcast, the government spread the net much more widely to catch others who had obtained visas by deception. The Home Office and ETS agreed that voice recognition techniques would be used to analyse the database of oral exams submitted electronically from 96 UK test centres. If ETS computers detected the same voice appearing twice or more, it could indicate cheating. The electronic result had to be verified by two separate human ETS analysts. A test result could only be declared "invalid" if the computer and human assessments matched. ETS subsequently gave the Home Office a list of more than 33,000 TOEIC tests it said were invalid, and declared a further 22,000 were "questionable". In response, the Home Office curtailed or refused the visas of thousands of students. More than 4,600 people were deported or left Britain. Sharif Majumder was among those who were accused of cheating and told to leave. After arriving in Britain in 2005, he had gained a series of qualifications including several passes with distinction in English courses. In 2012 he sat a TOEIC exam - at a test centre which did not feature in the BBC investigation - in order to extend his visa to study an MBA at the University of West London. When, in July 2014, he returned to the UK after a trip home, he was stopped at immigration and told he was suspected of cheating. "I was shattered. I was almost crying," he told the BBC. "At one point I thought they would actually return me back home with the next flight." He said he eventually persuaded airport immigration officials that he was a genuine student. Mr Majumder, who vehemently denies cheating, then appealed against the Home Office's decision. He tried to obtain the voice-matching files that were said to prove he had cheated, but the Home Office and ETS did not hand them over. Things came to a head in earlier this year when the cases of Mr Majumder and another student, Ihsan Qadir, came to an immigration appeal tribunal. A forensic voice recognition expert, Dr Philip Harrison, gave evidence that the ETS database of alleged voice matchings could contain mistakes called "false positives" - an incorrect finding that a student had cheated. If true, this could seriously undermine the Home Office's evidence against Mr Majumder and others accused of cheating. The president of the Upper Appellate of the Immigration Tribunal, Mr Justice McCloskey, noted that Dr Harrison's evidence contained "a litany of criticisms of the ETS voice recognition testing systems, both automated and human" that he accepted in full. It also emerged that ETS had refused to provide Mr Majumder's test recording to either the Home Office or the tribunal. "Almost remarkably, ETS provided no evidence, directly or indirectly to this tribunal," Judge McCloskey noted. "Its refusal to provide the voice recordings of these two appellants in particular is mildly astonishing." He concluded that the court found Mr Majumder and the other appellant to be "truthful and reliable witnesses" and "the clear winners" in their appeals. This was a very significant judgement with implications for thousands of other cases, though Judge McCloskey pointed out that each appeal would be sensitive to the facts. The Home Office was given leave to appeal. But in a landmark judgement last month, the Court of Appeal said that the Home Office's case was "fundamentally misconceived". In April, following the immigration tribunal, the Home Affairs Select Committee began an inquiry into the government's handling of the English testing allegations. In June the then Immigration Minister James Brokenshire wrote to the committee: "The investigation into the abuse of ETS English language testing in 2014 revealed systemic cheating which was indicative of an extremely serious, large-scale, organised fraud and was a significant attempt to undermine immigration control." And the chief operating officer of UK Visas and Immigration, Mike Wells, told the committee: "If an individual wishes to obtain their voice recording then they should approach ETS." He said that ETS had released some voice recordings, but that they had not been required in most cases. "The courts have consistently found that our standard evidence is sufficient to satisfy the presumption of fraud and therefore that it is not necessary to routinely obtain individual voice recordings to establish this," he wrote in August. He also said that an independent forensic audio expert had "confirmed that the ETS analysis process was robust and suitably cautious being much more likely to produce false negatives than false positives". Whatever the true level of fraud in the system, the Home Office now faces a legal headache. It is already facing some 300 judicial reviews of decisions to cancel students' visas. Its counsel told the Court of Appeal that the Home Office was minded to concede in some of these cases. But there remains the problem of how to conduct any new appeals from students who have already been deported. Last week the chair of the Home Affairs Committee, Yvette Cooper, wrote to the Home Secretary Amber Rudd asking her to reveal "as a matter of urgency" what action she intended to take. "The committee has previously raised concerns regarding the response of the Home Office to the revelation of widespread fraud in the English language testing system. We note that the Home Office recently conceded a key test case and has indicated that it may concede more. People's lives are on hold while awaiting judgement in their cases," Ms Cooper said. Meanwhile, Mr Majumder - who has spent £30,000 on his legal battle - said the Home Office's actions had deterred genuine students from coming to Britain. "I think the way they have been treating the TOEIC victims - not giving them the right to challenge the decision and without producing any evidence - is hugely damaging the reputation that Britain has to international students. They think they are not welcome here any more." The same survey, organised by the Royal Society, revealed that 90% of 18-24 year-olds could not name a female scientific figure - either current or historical. Almost half were able to name at least one famous male scientist, such as Albert Einstein. The Royal Society's Lorna Casselton described the results as "frustrating". But the same poll also indicated that parents see scientists as good role models for their daughters. Respondents were offered a choice of six "role model types" for a daughter - ranging from a doctor or lawyer to an athlete or pop star. Almost half of the 1,000 adults questioned chose "life-saving doctor", while "Nobel prize-winning scientist" came second, with 20% selecting it as their first choice. According to the findings, public knowledge of the role played by women in major scientific breakthroughs is also low. Just 6% of those polled knew that a female scientist (Jocelyn Bell Burnell) played a major part in the discovery of pulsar stars. Only 18% were aware that another woman, Dorothy Hodgkin, discovered the structure of insulin. Professor Casselton, who is vice-president of the Royal Society, said: "People are still unaware of the contribution made by women to science in the past, [but] overall I am encouraged by the findings of this poll. "They suggest public perceptions of women in science are changing. [We] want to encourage more girls (and their parents) to see science as an achievable and desirable career path. "Most importantly we want to encourage them to see science not only as a fulfilling career but one that can change the world and contribute to our quality of life." Malcolm Greaves, who has died aged 75, worked with Ivory when they were both binmen in Nottinghamshire. Mr Greaves inspired two characters in the programme, who were played by actors Edward Woodward and Tim Healy. Mr Ivory said in tribute: "Malcolm was a lovely, funny, kind man and was a big part of my growing up." Mr Greaves worked on the bins for many years with his son Paul, and the pair inspired a father-and-son binmen team in the programme. "Dad enjoyed watching the series," said Mr Greaves. "He was very pleased with it all because he could really relate to all the characters. He recognised a lot of the traits of people he'd worked with at the depots in Newark and Southwell. "My dad thought the world of Bill Ivory anyway, and Billy always liked to get back on the bins when he was back home from university in the holidays. He liked to meet up with all the old friends and faces." Malcolm, known as "Malc", worked as a driver on the bin lorries for 28 years, originally for Southwell Rural District Council, which was succeeded by Newark and Sherwood District Council. "Edward Woodward played the serious side to my dad but dad was also very happy and jovial," said Paul. "He was full of one-liners and would have people in stitches, but he was never crude. Everybody felt better for being in his company, whether they were 18 or 80." Malcolm was diabetic and died in hospital on 31 July after complications from an operation to remove his leg. His funeral takes place at 16:00 BST at the Sherwood Forest Crematorium in Ollerton. Electric Circus, on Market Street, had been expected to stay open for another two years while plans for Fruitmarket Gallery were developed. However, Electric Circus operators said, in light of the "eventual closure", they would close on 25 March. City of Edinburgh Council owns both buildings and last year announced plans for the expansion. A post on the Electric Circus Facebook page said: "It is with a very heavy heart that Electric Circus has decided to close. "We would first like to say the biggest thanks to all of you; to the staff who have worked with us past and present, to all the promoters and bands we have had the pleasure of hosting over the past seven years. "To the incredibly loyal customers, from karaoke, club and gig-goers - without you we wouldn't be here today, you have all been a joy. "The decision to close was not an easy one but we feel that due to the recent news regarding the eventual closure of the venue and the expansion of the Fruitmarket Gallery we feel, as a business it is best if we go out with a bang. "Our last day of business will be Saturday 25 March and we hope that over the next few weeks we will see lots of familiar faces come down to celebrate the last days of Electric Circus." City of Edinburgh Council spokeswoman said: "We are aware of the leaseholder's decision to retire and close Electric Circus. "They have sought consent from the council to assign the lease to the Fruitmarket Gallery, which has ambitious plans to develop the premises as an exciting new gallery space. "While new clubs have been opening elsewhere in the city, we know the closure of an established venue is of concern to the live music community. "The council's culture service is continuing to consult with musicians and promoters on the future development of the city's live music scene and the impact of changes like this." Holdsworth's Sports Shield BWFC Limited and Anderson's Inner Circle Investments Ltd took over the club in March 2016. The pair has since had a public falling out, including a disagreement concerning the sale of striker Zack Clough to Nottingham Forest. Holdsworth, who scored 52 goals for the club between 1997 and 2003, will stay on as club ambassador. A Bolton statement said: "Both parties acknowledge that certain public statements each has made about the integrity and conduct of the other may have been inappropriate and, on reflection, regrettable. "Both Dean and Ken are delighted that they have reached this arrangement and have done so with the best interests of the club and its fans in mind. "Part of the arrangement has seen both parties agree that Dean will continue his involvement with the club as club ambassador." Holdsworth and Anderson took over the Trotters in a £7.5m deal in March 2016. In November, it was reported that Bolton faced administration unless a deal could be struck between the two where Anderson would take sole control at the Macron Stadium. Queen's Park FC said Harry the Hoopo's head had recently been taken from the the JB McAlpine Pavilion, the Glasgow club's youth and community facility. On Twitter, the club said: "To date we have received no ransom notes. We beseech you all to leave no stone unturned in the hunt for Harry's head." Queen's Park appealed for anyone with information to get in touch. The club plays at Hampden Park and is currently in Scottish League Two. Elliott Advisors says Antony Burgmans should be ousted because of the Dutch firm's refusal to enter takeover talks with US rival PPG Industries. In a petition filed with the Dutch Enterprise Chamber, Elliott said Mr Burgmans had not discharged his duties. Akzo has rejected three offers from PPG, but some shareholders - including Elliott - back the bid. Mr Burgmans and chief executive Ton Buechner say the bid undervalues Akzo. The most recent offer, rejected on Monday, is worth 26.9bn euros (£22.7bn). Elliott, which holds a 3.25% stake in Akzo, had teamed up with other like-minded investors to request an extraordinary meeting to vote on a proposal to remove Mr Burgmans. However, the company responded by reporting Elliott and PPG to Dutch regulators for possibly sharing potentially "sensitive" information with PPG regarding support for the meeting. Now Elliott is seeking to "enforce the rights" of shareholders to hold the meeting. "Elliott views Akzo Nobel's rejection of PPG's third proposal without entering into any constructive form of engagement with PPG as a flagrant breach of Akzo Nobel's boards' fiduciary duties and of Dutch corporate law, and as an arrogant dismissal of recognised principles of proper corporate governance," it said. "Akzo Nobel's boards continue to demonstrate a disturbing and inexplicable tendency to act in their own, self-entrenching interests and against the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders." Akzo has said that the removal of Mr Burgmans would be "irresponsible, disproportionate, damaging and not in the best interest of the company, its shareholders and other stakeholders". Elliott, which became an Akzo shareholder in December, is known for its aggressive moves. Founded in 1977 by American activist investor Paul Singer, it made a name investing in national debt in countries such as Peru. The firm is most famous for its long legal battle over Argentine debt, which climaxed when the firm seized an Argentine naval ship docked in Ghana. The hedge fund is also pushing mining giant BHP Billiton to reorganise and spin off its US oil unit. Mr Buchner has proposed selling Akzo's chemicals division and has embarked on a series of share repurchases. Ednane Mahmood, 18, of Plane Street, Blackburn, was questioned by police at the airport on 21 September last year. Mr Mahmood is charged with disseminating a terrorist publication and engaging in conduct in preparation of acts of terrorism. He has been remanded to appear before Westminster magistrates on Thursday. Adi Yussuf gave the hosts a first-half lead on his first home league start for the club, but Porter ensured a share of the points by smashing the ball into the roof of the net from the edge of the area. Striker Yussuf, who scored one and made the other two in Crawley's 3-2 win at Morecambe last Saturday, gave the hosts the lead in the 17th minute. Former Chelsea youngster Kaby Djalo began the move with an excellent cross-field pass and Dutchman Enzio Boldewijn played the ball into Yussuf who beat keeper Sam Walker with a deft finish. Crawley defender Lewis Young picked up a booking for bringing down Tariq Fosu on the edge of the area and Craig Slater put the resulting free-kick over. Slater had a long-range shot easily saved by keeper Glenn Morris shortly before the interval as Colchester struggled to impose themselves. United midfielder Sammie Szmodics got into a good position inside the area on the hour, but put an angled shot across the face of the goal. Szmodics threatened again when his goal-bound header was turned onto the post by keeper Morris. Colchester applied late pressure and were rewarded when Porter lashed home his fourth of the season.

Shane Logan made the comments during a meeting of the Northern Ireland Assembly's social development committee. It is taking evidence as part of its review of the Licensing Bill. The bill would allow outdoor stadiums to apply for licences to sell alcohol. Currently, stadium operators have to apply for temporary licences. Mr Logan said, as it stands, there are up to 19 professional games played a year at Ulster Rugby's Kingspan Stadium in Belfast. Each time, Ulster Rugby has to apply to a court for an occasional licence, and it has "no certainty" of a licence in advance, as these are only granted on the day of the match, he said. He said that while Ulster Rugby had never been refused an occasional licence, it had "bid for events with certainty of licensing". "This precludes us from bidding for major events," Mr Logan said. "We would not be able to fulfil the criteria for access to alcohol bars and family access to entertainment that is required to allow us to bid for the 2023 Rugby World Cup." "[With] the law as it stands, we would have to withdraw from that." The Licensing Bill is a private member's bill proposed by Judith Cochrane, the Alliance Party MLA. In his first annual report, Dr Frank Atherton has focused on health inequalities between the most deprived and least deprived areas. The rates of baby deaths aged under one year are almost 50% higher in the poorest parts. He called it an "unacceptable difference". Dr Atherton said the NHS has to really think about how it focuses services to the most deprived areas. The latest infant mortality figures for Wales stand at 3.7 deaths per 1,000 on average, compared to 4.4 between 2002 and 2011. But it was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 in the most deprived areas of Wales, compared to 3.8 in the least deprived parts. Most deaths are for conditions related to pregnancy and birth. "It's shocking and it's unfair and it's preventable. We can do better than that here in Wales," Dr Atherton said. "Infant mortality rates are improving but we need to ensure they improve for everybody." On childhood obesity, there was a "clear correlation" between levels of deprivation and rates of being overweight or obese - ranging from 28.4% of children living in the most deprived areas to 20.9% in the least deprived. The report found one in seven children (14.7%) living in Merthyr Tydfil was obese, compared with just one in 14 children (7.3%) living in the Vale of Glamorgan. HOW WE USED TO LIVE WORKING WITH PARENTS IN CARDIFF TODAY Jane Imperato, a team leader with Cardiff Flying Start and health visitor of almost 30 years, said: "We try to make sure that parents understand what their babies are trying to communicate to them, so we can give them the best possible start in life. "We provide some outreach programmes with the homeless team and also with Gypsy travellers." In the future, the programme is looking to introduce baby boxes - a Finnish idea which has just been given the go ahead in Scotland - which include about 80 useful items for new-born babies and which have been credited with cutting infant mortality rates. Dr Atherton wants public services to work together to better target people who are disadvantaged. "Our social circumstances and environmental factors are a significant influence on our health. So improving the health of the nation and reducing health inequalities means we must look at these wider influences," he said. Dr Mair Parry, of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in Wales, said personal social health education was "desperately needed" in all schools to help tackle the effects of poverty, which "sadly often runs in family cycles". "Through classes on sex education and relationships, the effects of smoking, drug and alcohol abuse and health and wellbeing, when taught early, has a real opportunity to influence young peoples' lives," she said. "It's only then can these cycles be broken." Welsh Local Government Association chief executive Steve Thomas said there was joint working going on between councils and health and social care bodies but it was important to keep the pressure on. "It's tough in terms of budget constraints, it's tough in terms of making sure that we deal with the most disadvantaged communities out there, particularly in terms of health inequalities but that is assisted by the fact that public sector organisations can work together and do work together," he said. The wooden finial, in the shape of a flame, appears to have been part of a staircase at Hereford Cathedral School. The current head teacher Paul Smith wants to reinstate it to its original place, but does not know where that is. It is thought the schoolboy thief would now be in his 70s. Dear Sir / Madam "I return this to Hereford Cathedral School. It was taken as a 'dare' about 55 to 60 years ago when the darer was a pupil. It is thought that it came from either the top of an upright supporting the main staircase in the Cathedral Junior School (Cathedral Preparatory School then) or from somewhere near the honours boards in the senior school. It has been carefully looked after. It has come to light recently as the result of a house move. The darer apologizes [sic] and hopes it can be re-instated." The carving, which had been taken at some point between 1955 and 1960, had been sent to the school with a note of apology, and a promise it had been carefully looked after. Mr Smith said: "We have been looking closely at all the staircases in the school to try and work it out but with no luck. "Really, the only way to find out its true location is to meet with the 'darer' so that he can show us where it came from originally." The finial is about 17cm (6in) tall and 8cm (3in) wide. It was posted in Hereford, so the school is hoping the now-conscientious darer may live locally. Set amid the Aids crisis in 1980s America, Tony Kushner's "gay fantasia" lasts roughly the same duration as a flight from London to New York. Over eight hours, it packs in angelic visitations, burning books and surreal trips to icy continents and, of course, heaven. And let's not forget a stellar cast that includes Andrew Garfield, Denise Gough, Nathan Lane and Russell Tovey. After weeks of previews, the play officially opened at the National Theatre in London on Thursday. Spider-Man star Garfield told us after the show: "You don't often get to work on a character like this or on a story that has so much humanity in it. "It's the whole human experience in one seven and a half hour play. No one would turn that opportunity down." The critics seem to love it, with four and five star reviews appearing on Friday morning. Here are eight reasons why Angels in America is such a heavenly show. On Thursday, both parts of the play played back to back - and lasted seven hours and 32 minutes. Part one - titled Millennium Approaches - kicked off at 13:00, but it wasn't until after 23:00 that the second part - Perestroika - had reached its emotional climax. But it never dragged. Much of the interval chat was about how quickly it seemed to go. The cast may disagree. Speaking after the show, Russell Tovey admitted: "On a two-show day, it's insane. It's like a 12-hour Zumba class!" The way the play is broken up gives it an episodic feel. Each part has two 15-minute intervals. That makes watching the play feel a bit like you are working your way through a TV box-set. With plenty of loo and coffee breaks. The ex-Spider-Man is unforgettable as Prior Walter, a man who discovers he has Aids and is then abandoned by his boyfriend Louis Ironside (James McArdle). We see him early on as an elegant drag queen, later he's a spectral hooded figure dressed top to toe in black. In the harrowing hospital scenes, he can switch from rage to despair in the course of a single line. Back in January, Garfield found out about his Oscar nomination for Hacksaw Ridge while he was starting rehearsals for Angels in America. It would be astonishing if he's not nominated for more awards for this performance. Nathan Lane plays foul-mouth lawyer Roy Cohn who is in denial about his sexuality. Told by his doctor that he has Aids, he storms: "No. Aids is what homosexuals have. I have liver cancer." Tovey plays Joe Pitt, a closeted gay Mormon Republican whose Valium-addicted wife Harper is played with gusto by the Olivier-winning Denise Gough. McArdle is excellent as Prior's tormented lover, as is Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as hospital nurse Belize. With more than 30 characters in this play, all of the main cast play multiple parts and it's fun to try and spot them under the costume changes. Marianne Elliott is the award-winning talent behind the National Theatre's West End hits War Horse and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Enough said. The story begins quite modestly, with a simple revolving set showing us how the lives of the main characters connect. Later it all goes much larger scale and a lot more surreal. We get a fantasy Antarctica - complete with falling snow - and a neon ladder that ascends to a heaven filled with angels. Yet many of the most memorable scenes are the intimate ones where Prior Walter and lawyer Roy Cohn are sick in their hospital beds and visited by both the living and the dead. Angels in America had its British premiere at the National Theatre in 1992 (with a cast that included James Bond actor Daniel Craig). The play is set in New York in the mid-1980s when Ronald Reagan was starting his second term as president and the world was in the grip of the Aids crisis. While there is much that is upsetting, Kushner's script is packed with zinging comedy lines. "It's very funny," said Garfield after the show. "You need to laugh to keep from crying in a situation as devastating as these characters are going through. "It was amazing putting it in front of an audience for the first time because we were all surprised how funny it was. "On the first preview it was shocking how many times we had to stop for the audience laughing." You won't forget Amanda Lawrence's Angel in a hurry. She crashes dramatically through Prior's apartment ceiling on massive wings that are operated - War Horse style - by six people. She flies, she swoops and she even has sex with Prior. Little wonder he later introduces himself to Harper Pitt as "an angel-ologist". Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is at the Lyttelton Theatre until 19 August.

The plans have already been approved by the clubs and been ratified by a WRU board. Aberavon, Bridgend, Carmarthen Quins, Llandovery, Llanelli, Neath, RGC 1404 and Swansea will form the west. Holders Merthyr, Bargoed, Bedwas, Cardiff, Cross Keys, Ebbw Vale, Newport and Pontypridd are in the east. The clubs will play each other home and away in the first half of the season before all 16 sides join together, with points being carried over from the regional format. The sides will then play each other once, meaning clubs will have 29 guaranteed league games. At the split, points will be allocated to clubs based on league positions so the winners of the east and west leagues will go into the second half of the season with eight points. The clubs in second place will carry seven points into the 16-team league, down to the eighth placed clubs who will carry one point. There will be no end-of-season play-offs and the club who finishes top of the table will be crowned overall champions. This format replaces last season's format when clubs were split into two sections of eight midway through the campaign based on positions in the table. There were only 22 guaranteed games for clubs in this competition. Overall winners Merthyr won the Tier One final by defeating Aberavon, while Newport were the Tier Two winners after beating Neath. Merthyr will launch the defence of their title at The Wern against Cross Keys when the new season kicks off on the weekend of 26 August. Principality Premiership clubs will continue to work with the regions to select Regional Premiership Select XVs for the British & Irish Cup, while the Foster's Challenge Cup will not take place. WRU head of rugby performance Geraint John said: "The Principality Premiership is a vital competition in underpinning the professional game in Wales, providing a crucial stepping stone for our potential future professional players, in addition to the British & Irish and Anglo-Welsh Cup competitions. "We believe the new format and the additional, guaranteed local derbies in the first half of the season will further support the work of the regions to establish the place of the Principality Premiership within the regional and national pathway, in order to underpin player, coach and referee development. At this time we feel this solution meets the vast majority of those needs. "We will continue to assess the outcomes of this new format but there will be no further structural changes to the Principality Premiership until at least the 2019/20 season." Principality Premiership East: Bargoed, Bedwas, Cardiff, Cross Keys, Ebbw Vale, Merthyr, Newport, Pontypridd. Principality Premiership West: Aberavon, Bridgend, Carmarthen Quins, Llandovery, Llanelli, Neath, RGC 1404, Swansea.

Up to 670 people had been waiting for more than the government waiting time target, of 18 weeks, the hospital said. It explained it was treating the newer referrals first to avoid penalties for further target breaches. However, patients' group Health Initiative Cornwall said patients should be treated in order. The hospital said its waiting list had grown because of operating theatre improvement works. Orthopaedic Surgeon, Andrew Lee, told BBC News: "We're doing our very best not to make any more breaches. "We're therefore treating the people under 18 weeks as well as dealing with the breached patients as fast as we can." However, Graham Webster, from Health Initiative Cornwall, said: "[The patients] feel they've been left on the shelf, and they feel people are not concerned that they're having to wait a long time for their treatment." The hospital said a mobile operating theatre brought in in June, at a cost of £500,000, had helped reduce the operations backlog, from 1,600 to 670. Mr Lee said the hospital had also invested in new equipment and increased the number of operations it did each week.

Recently referred patients are being treated ahead of those on a waiting list, the Royal Cornwall Hospital (RCH) has admitted.

The GM Health and Social Care Partnership Board said the move would make 24/7 urgent primary care provision easier for patients to access. The additional access will revolve around neighbourhood hubs and "clusters" where weekend and evening appointments will be available. The board said it hopes the plans will reduce pressure on hospital A&E units. The investment will also provide patients access to a range of other health and social care services such as diagnostics, blood tests and X-rays as well as supporting nursing and residential homes. Partnership chairman Lord Peter Smith said: "This £41m investment will ensure that our GPs across Greater Manchester are supported to provide high quality care now and in the future. "Putting primary care back at the heart of our local communities is absolutely the right thing to do and shows how devolution can make gains for patients' right across Greater Manchester." The plans do not mean that every GP practice in the region will have extra opening hours. Instead it is envisaged patients having enhanced access at the neighbourhood level through "clusters" of practices working together, supported by a designated hub serving around 50,000 patients. Dr David Wrigley, a Lancashire GP and BMA Council Deputy Chair, said: "It is good to hear about some new investment into general practice but I am concerned seven-day routine working is being rolled out when GPs struggle to provide a good five-day service, Monday to Friday, due to the years of under investment. "We are short of thousands of GPs across the country and this new seven-day plan will seek to stretch my colleagues even more thinly across the week." The board, which took control of the region's £6bn health and social care budget in 2016, was told 2,500 patients who could be treated elsewhere are dealt with every day in A&E units across the region. The plan will build on some schemes already in operation in Greater Manchester, such as in Bury. Bury has had full extended GP access in place since January 2015 with weekday appointments available up to 20:00, and from 08:00 to 18:00 at weekends, delivered from three hub sites. Surgeries in England are currently expected to open between 08:00 and 18:30 on weekdays with extra funding available to those offering slots outside those hours. But the government wants GPs to stay open longer unless they can prove the demand is not there. Greater Manchester's primary care reform plans were approved at a meeting in Wigan.

A £41m plan to give everyone in Greater Manchester seven-day GP access has been approved.
